Chapter 338

"No need, I've already told him not to move, and even fired a warning shot. If you keep running, we'll have no choice but to open fire. If someone dies, it's no big deal—you resisted arrest and were shot dead, no problem at all."

Chen Fan said in surprise: "Holy crap, that's allowed in this country?"

Old Liu said, speechless: "It's always been allowed. It's just that most of our police here are pretty kind-hearted and rarely fire their weapons. Sometimes they'd rather get hurt by a criminal than open fire. Sigh, we talk about this stuff all the time in meetings, but when it actually comes down to doing it yourself, it's really hard."

Over here, Li Tian walked over and said: "Finished eating?"

Everyone looked at Li Tian—coming this early meant the matter was probably serious.

Chen Fan said: 'State the matter first.'

"A group of people died. We need to go investigate. Speed up your meal, or eat it in the car."

Old Liu tossed the broom aside and said: "Let's go, head out right now, eat in the car."

The group got in the car, huddled together, munching on steamed buns and drinking soy milk.

Li Tian took out the photos and said: "Last night, in a villa, dead people were found. Uh, to be precise, the landlord found them. When the landlord went over to check in the middle of the night, he was scared into fainting on the spot, and only then did he hurry to call the police."

In the photos, someone was hanging, someone had collapsed on the ground—the scene was utterly horrifying.

Old Liu looked at the scene and said: 'Something's off here. The time of death for these people is a bit too close together.'

Li Tian said: "Right, very close."

Because they were so close, the case started to get very serious—there was a chance it was that thing people had always been reluctant to bring up.

Over at the observation room, everyone sat down properly and saw the people moving forward in the car.

Sister Yuanyuan asked: "What's going on?"

Qin Ming said: "Mm, a case came up. I'm pretty worried about this one—it's a variant of that previous case. If that's the case, it'll be hard to handle."

Teacher He said: "I got word that it's a suicide?"

Qin Ming said: "Word? Impossible, there's no way info could have leaked from our side. Where did you hear it?"

"The news. It had just popped up not long ago before it disappeared, but someone told me about it."

Qin Ming said: "Uh, that makes sense, it would make the news, but it needs to be confirmed. Oh right, do you know who put out the news?"

Teacher He said: "Hold on, I'll have someone ask around on my end."

Qin Ming nodded, his hand unconsciously gripping his notebook. You could tell Qin Ming was very nervous right now.

Song Zuer said: "I think I've heard of a case like this, but wasn't it overseas?"

"Right, but it's in the country now too. Sigh, it popped up twice before, but we've always felt that there's actually someone here arranging all of this, and we're still trying to catch this person."

Does this person actually exist or not?

Viewers hate these riddle-spewing types the most, but when the live scene appeared, the hearts of everyone in the livestream nearly stopped.

In the spacious villa hall, many people had died.

Someone hanging from a noose.

Someone on the ground who had drunk poison to death.

And someone holding a knife who had stabbed themselves to death.

The moment Chen Fan stepped inside, he smelled something off and said: "Close all the doors and windows for me."

Everyone here understood immediately and quickly shut the doors and windows.

Chen Fan followed the direction of the smell, searching inside the house. He soon stopped at a spot, then took out a bag and collected the surrounding air.

Old Liu said: "What smell?"

"Mm, I suspect there's a hallucinogen, a volatile one. This is where it started, but this place is a little too clean?"

Old Liu squatted down, looked around, then lay flat on the ground and compared things, saying: "Mm, there are wiping marks. This doesn't follow the rules—someone must have been here. Keep checking."

The new recruit was in charge of the floor, searching one by one for footprints or handprints.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan stared at the person on the ceiling, lost in thought.

The time of death—actually, just by looking at the overall state of the dead, one could make a guess.

The times of death were very close.

It meant these people had died at the same time.

This case made the viewers think of four characters.

Mass suicide.

Yes, that term had been brought up once again.

"Holy shit, damn it, I know what this is—it's a mass suicide."

"Damn, this creepy thing has come to the country. Who the hell brought it in?"

"Damn damn damn, this is so scary."

'Didn't this first start over in that island nation? Damn.'

Qin Ming's hands began to tremble as he said: "Before, there were many suicide incidents over in that island nation. At the time, a lot of artists stepped up voluntarily and sang many songs to encourage everyone, and over there, suicide incidents decreased a lot. But mass suicides still exist."

"It happened twice in the country before, and the news was suppressed outright, the goal being to keep people from imitating it."

At this point, Linghua said: "Don't worry, it's fine. Everyone should actually be able to figure it out."

Qin Ming said: "Look at the person in the very corner—that's still just a child."

Once those words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent.

At the scene, Li Tian had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his face dark. For the first time, he wanted Chen Fan to catch that person by any means necessary and then finish them off.

For the first time, he felt that simply relying on the law was meaningless—the best way to deal with crime was crime.
