Chapter 37

~8 min read 1,427 words

he vaguely saw a subtle knife mark on the ceiling above his head.

That should have been the flying knife cutting the circuit,

leaving a mark after hitting the ceiling,

and then falling onto the soft carpet, also leaving a mark.

"He guessed it!"

"Up to now, he has guessed every single movement..."

Looking at the two brand-new pieces of evidence in front of him,

Liu Fan’s heartbeat accelerated.

This college student...

really simulated the entire process of the crime step by step?

He personally picked up the fallen pencil,

and walked to Lu Shu.

His tone carried a hint of shock,

and a hint of admiration.

"All the movements so far are correct."

"So what’s next?"

Lu Shu pointed his chin at the suite.

"Next is the assassination action."

"You all go into the room and stand according to the positions of the deceased."

"I will be that killer."

After Lu Shu finished speaking,

Liu Fan took everyone back into the suite.

"Captain Zhang, Captain Wang, trouble you two to play the roles of the two bodyguards."

"Xiao Wu, you play the Jinhai Group chairman, go lie in the bathtub."

Zhang Zhang Zhigang and Wang Feng were assigned the most critical bodyguard roles.

Another member of the major case team

went to the bathtub to play the Jinhai Group chairman taking a bath.

Those without roles were shooed by Liu Fan to stand in the corner of the room.

The room door was gently closed,

and the people in the room were very nervous.

Because they all knew

that what followed would be the reconstruction of the most critical murder link in this murder case!

The teenager "playing" the killer outside the door

would demonstrate how the killer instantly killed two first-class bodyguards that night!

Seeing the room door close,

Lu Shu waited a while longer.

The pencil fluttered up and down between his five fingers like a butterfly,

lazily,

and he walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.

"Hello guest, your red wine has arrived."

He didn't say "cleaning the room."

The Jinhai Group chairman was killed in the middle of the night,

who cleans a room in the middle of the night?

Even a fool would know there was a problem,

and although that killer was a bit amateurish,

he wasn't stupid.

But red wine was different.

A chairman staying in his own hotel,

ordering a bottle of vintage red wine from the front desk in the middle of the night,

was very reasonable.

Even if the two bodyguards weren't sure if the chairman had ordered it,

they would at least take it to check.

And in the room,

when they heard Lu Shu’s voice,

Zhang Zhang Zhigang and Wang Feng, who were originally sitting on the sofa, looked at each other,

and then walked to the back of the door, one on the left and one on the right.

The positions they stood in

were exactly the positions where the two bodyguards fell after dying.

Under Liu Fan’s signal,

Zhang Zhang Zhigang, standing on the right, vigilantly opened a crack in the door,

while Wang Feng, standing on the left, cooperated by making a vigilant posture.

Just as Zhang Zhang Zhigang opened a crack in the door,

a pencil

hit his glabella silently and instantly.

If this had been a knife,

he would have been physically brain-dead instantly.

Zhang Zhang Zhigang’s body fell backward,

and a slender hand reached in through the crack in the door.

That hand seemed to have eyes,

flicked gently,

and the pencil still in its hand flew out,

piercing straight into Wang Feng’s throat on the left.

Wang Feng cooperated by clutching his throat and retreating with difficulty,

but couldn't make a sound.

At this time,

that hand gently removed the anti-theft chain behind the door,

and the door was pushed open slowly,

revealing Lu Shu’s calm smiling face.

With that smile,

he picked up the fallen pencil,

walked straight into the bathroom,

and made a light swipe across the neck of the team member playing the Jinhai Group chairman.

Then he walked out the door stylishly,

and even thoughtfully closed the door on his way out.

Assassination,

complete.

Throughout the entire process,

everyone in the room almost subconsciously held their breath.

Especially seeing the smile on Lu Shu’s face when he walked in,

everyone’s heart skipped a beat,

feeling a bit chilly on their backs.

And after Lu Shu left,

a team member hurried over to check the "wounds" of Wang Feng and Zhang Zhang Zhigang.

He turned around in horror.

"Captain, the wounds... they match perfectly!"

"Not a bit off!"

Liu Fan’s body trembled.

This meant

that the lethal action Lu Shu just demonstrated with a pencil

was exactly the same as what the killer used that night!

Liu Fan still had the image of that hand appearing behind the door in his mind,

and he suddenly had a terrifying thought:

if what Lu Shu was holding wasn't a pencil,

but a real knife,

then he really could have instantly killed two first-class bodyguards in a split second!

All the actions the killer made,

Lu Shu could also do them all.

In other words,

if Lu Shu wanted to,

then he could actually complete such a silent assassination???

This terrifying thought that appeared in his mind

made Liu Fan instantly alert.

This college student...

is very dangerous!!!

Looking at Lu Shu, who had walked back into the room,

Liu Fan asked with a strange expression,

"Since you can reconstruct the killer’s assassination process,"

"then now..."

"Can you catch him?"

Everyone’s gaze became extremely nervous,

and they all looked over.

Under these gazes,

Lu Shu nodded indifferently.

"I can."

Chapter 43: You’re not very skilled at this business, boss!

Yongan City, East District,

Seafood Distribution Market.

Lu Shu walked lazily through the wet market,

stopping from time to time to look at the various seafood and fish in the tanks,

and occasionally asking the stall owners a few questions with a smile,

looking exactly like someone who had come to buy seafood.

And 50 meters behind him,

Liu Fan, Zhang Zhang Zhigang, and Wang Feng were following from a distance in plain clothes,

and other members of the major case team were also disguised and scattered in the crowd.

In reality,

around the entire seafood market,

there were no fewer than 20 plainclothes police officers scattered.

In the alleys further away,

there were also two SWAT vehicles on standby.

Liu Fan had actually considered

whether to coordinate more SWAT officers,

but because time was too tight,

the force he could coordinate was only this much.

And,

it wasn't certain that the killer was really here.

Looking at Lu Shu, who was strolling leisurely in front,

Zhang Zhang Zhigang, standing to the side, pretended to light a cigarette and said a few words softly.

"We’ve already strolled through three seafood markets."

"Don't let us come up empty-handed again..."

After coming out of the Jinhai Hotel,

Lu Shu didn't say anything,

and led them straight to the nearest seafood market.

After strolling through that seafood market,

he ran to the second one,

and now, this one in front of them

was already the fourth one.

Wang Feng, standing to the side, pretended to look at the seafood stalls on both sides nonchalantly,

his lips moving slightly.

"I’m just curious why Lu Shu only runs to seafood markets?"

"Is the killer a seafood seller?"

Listening to the two of them,

Liu Fan, with his hands in his pockets, couldn't help but join in in a low voice.

"He must have discovered something."

"Otherwise, the target wouldn't point so directly to the seafood market."

"But there are so many people in the seafood market..."

"Even if the killer is here, how can we recognize him?"

According to the rigor of Major Case Team 6,

as the team leader, he shouldn't be chatting at this time.

But they had already strolled through 3 seafood markets,

and found nothing.

Even he was starting to slack off.

He even started to doubt whether they could find that killer at all.

Because the other party might be a professional killer,

who must be extremely sharp in certain aspects,

so the three of them didn't dare to get too close to Lu Shu.

And in their eyes,

Lu Shu was still strolling with great interest.

Between his fingers,

he was gently rubbing a tiny fish scale, only a few millimeters in size.

He gently rubbed a tiny fish scale, only a few millimeters in size.
