Chapter 35

"He’s actually quite familiar with this line of work."

Entering the room,

it had already been taken over by the major case team.

Noticing the arrival of Zhang Zhang Zhigang and Wang Feng,

the people inside looked up.

"Captain Zhang? You came just in time."

"There is some information we need to verify."

A middle-aged police officer with a very serious expression walked over.

Zhang Zhang Zhigang introduced him proactively.

"Major Case Team 6 leader, Team Leader Liu Fan."

"This is our station’s police officer, Wang Feng."

"Police officer?"

Major Case Team 6 leader Liu Fan looked at Wang Feng in surprise.

He didn't mean to be offensive,

it was just that for this kind of major criminal case,

regular police officers couldn't get involved anymore.

After rushing over from the province overnight,

he had taken his whole team straight to the crime scene,

and hadn't even been to the police station yet.

But after the preliminary investigation,

the information obtained was extremely limited.

Based on his many years of experience in handling cases,

this would be a very difficult case.

So he wasn't in the mood to exchange pleasantries with colleagues from the station.

"Team Leader Liu Fan, we came over to see if we could provide some help with the case."

"I have a professional expert here."

Zhang Zhang Zhigang explained, biting the bullet.

"A professional expert?"

Liu Fan looked forward to it.

"Where?"

Wang Feng, standing to the side, stepped aside,

revealing Lu Shu, who was standing quietly behind him.

He grinned.

"This is the professional!"

"Him?"

"He’s a college student, right?"

"Can he be of any help to the case?"

Liu Fan’s sharp eyes instantly saw through Lu Shu’s identity as a college student,

and a look of suspicion already appeared in his eyes.

He stared at Lu Shu and spoke slowly.

"The Jinhai Group chairman died in the bathtub."

"The two first-class bodyguards died behind the door, less than 1 meter apart."

"There were no signs of the door lock being forced open."

"On the night of the crime, the hotel staff didn't notice anything unusual at all."

"The surveillance cameras on this floor were cut."

"The time the cameras failed was 1:32 AM."

"The time the Jinhai Group chairman died was 1:35 AM."

"What information do you think is in this?"

Hearing Liu Fan recount the case information,

Zhang Zhang Zhigang and Wang Feng both knew

that this was a test,

and their eyes couldn't help but turn to Lu Shu.

Lu Shu scanned the room calmly,

and spoke somewhat nonchalantly.

"This indicates that the killer disguised themselves as some kind of service staff to knock on the door, so the door lock wasn't forced open."

"The corpses of the two bodyguards are both behind the door."

"This shows that the killer possesses the strength to instantly kill two first-class bodyguards."

"Looking at the time from when the cameras were cut to the target... to the time the deceased died,"

"the entire process of the killer completing the mission took no more than 3 minutes."

Hearing Lu Shu quickly state this information without even thinking,

Liu Fan was shocked!

Even Zhang Zhang Zhigang, standing to the side, couldn't help but open his mouth.

Did he analyze so many hidden points in an instant?

"You... can come in!"

Liu Fan stepped aside,

proactively letting Lu Shu walk in,

but his gaze remained somewhat suspicious.

Although this young man’s answer gave him a great shock,

he keenly caught a hint of something unusual in the words.

Target?

Completing the mission?

Action process?

These words, spoken unconsciously,

clearly didn't fit the vocabulary usage of a normal person!

In his eyes,

after Lu Shu entered the room,

he didn't look at the scene information marked on the ground at all,

but said directly,

"Actually, you all already have a guess in your hearts."

"But why are you afraid to admit it?"

"Is it because you’re worried about the situation escalating, or because there really is no evidence?"

"This murder case is very obvious."

"It was done by a professional killer."

Lu Shu’s last sentence

instantly made everyone in the room narrow their eyes.

Liu Fan even subconsciously closed the room door,

looking at Lu Shu with flickering eyes.

That’s right,

they actually all had a guess in their hearts.

This might be a murder-for-hire case involving business competition.

The killer is definitely not an ordinary person!

But...

there’s no evidence!

And,

once it rises to this level,

the problem becomes even bigger.

But now,

what they were all thinking in their hearts

was pointed out by a single sentence.

Walking into the living room, Lu Shu asked,

"Is there a computer?"

Liu Fan signaled,

and a member of Major Case Team 6 took a laptop out of his backpack and handed it over.

"This is a professional information computer, it’s different from a normal one."

"If you don't know how to use it, I can..."

The major case team’s computers were special models,

and the team member just wanted to say that if he didn't know how to use it, he could operate it instead.

But he saw that Lu Shu had already started the computer with extreme proficiency,

his fingers tapping flexibly on the special keyboard.

Under his shocked gaze,

Lu Shu first opened a mysterious webpage,

and then took something like a small USB drive out of his backpack and plugged it into the computer.

His fingers typed a long string of code symbols at high speed.

Looking at the USB drive Lu Shu took out,

the team member was stunned.

He recognized it.

This might be a special key shield for some kind of website.

Only by using this kind of key could one log into the website.

People who generally have this kind of thing...

wouldn't be ordinary people!

But the guy in front of him,

wasn't he a college student?

Amidst the team member’s confusion,

Lu Shu just browsed the opened webpage quietly,

his fingers tapping rhythmically.

He paused in the middle,

then exited the website, unplugged the USB drive, and turned off the computer.

He said casually to the people in the room,

"You don't have to guess anymore."

"The Jinhai Group chairman had a bounty put on his life a few days ago."

"A killer took the job."

Chapter 41: He’s much fiercer than special forces

A bounty was put on his life?

A killer took the job?

Hearing Lu Shu’s light sentence,

everyone in the room felt a shock in their hearts.

Major Case Team leader Liu Fan stared at Lu Shu with sharp eyes.

"How... do you know?"

"I guessed."

"..."

Listening to Lu Shu’s answer,

even a fool could see that he was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Heh,

you just used a computer, went on a website,

and even fished a mysterious little USB drive out of your pocket,

and after all that fuss,

you tell us you guessed?

Do you think the eyes of the major case team are just for decoration...

But unusually,

Liu Fan just took a deep look at Lu Shu,

but didn't ask any further.

He was now even guessing what Lu Shu’s true identity was.

Could he be a guy from some mysterious department?

But he was too young for that...

And over there, Zhang Zhang Zhigang

quietly nudged Wang Feng beside him with his elbow,

and threw a subtle look over.

"This expert behind you is a bit 'expert'."

Wang Feng could only respond with a look.

"Don't talk, I’m just as surprised as you are right now..."

Because he had received the information earlier,

he could roughly guess

that the little USB drive Lu Shu just took out

was most likely a key to log into a dark web account.

It should also be a channel for taking on killer part-time jobs.

"Okay, if we assume the killer is a professional killer,"

Liu Fan said heavily.

"Then how did this killer commit the crime?"

"What was his action trajectory?"

"What about the evacuation route?"

No matter who the killer was,

as a police officer,

their duty was to catch him!

But looking at the scene,

there was absolutely no information left behind by that killer.

"And, even if the killer is a professional killer,"

"then how did he kill two first-class bodyguards in the split second the door opened?"

Liu Fan spoke slowly.

The key questions he threw out

made everyone in the room subconsciously frown.
