Chapter 428: The Metropolis Mystery (Part 9)

Returning to the room, Yin Wensi took off his glasses and yawned. He looked like he didn't have any tension about being trapped in a manor where two murder cases had occurred. He reached out to untie his tie, preparing to change into pajamas to sleep, when the door was knocked again.

Yin Wensi closed his eyes, stood in place with his hands on his hips, sighed, and finally turned to walk toward the door. He opened the door. Standing outside the door was agent Kai La. Kai La first looked Yin Wensi up and down, and then said, "Are you planning to sleep?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?"

Kai La frowned deeply, looked into Yin Wensi's eyes, and said, "But I'm afraid you can't sleep now. Another murder case has occurred."

"I know, old Pa Ke..."

"It's not Pa Ke." Kai La denied it. She raised her arm, looked at her watch, and said, "Just two minutes ago, Mrs. Dai Weisi died, died in the bathroom on the first floor."

"Officer Ben Jie Ming invites you to go over, right now." Kai La looked at Yin Wensi and said to him, "You shouldn't have forgotten that after the Mayor died, you were the only one who went to that bathroom."

Yin Wensi didn't pay attention to her, but walked back into the room and retied his tie. When he came out again, Kai La instinctively felt a chill down her back.

Yin Wensi didn't pay attention to Kai La, but walked directly out of the door and walked downstairs. Kai La followed behind him, seemingly still wanting to say something to him, but Yin Wensi didn't have any intention of waiting for her.

He walked down the rotating stairs quickly, like a glass bead constantly rolling down in a spiral maze. The corpse in the center of the hall was still lying quietly.

The blood on the tassels at the end of the tablecloth had already coagulated, the smoke lines of the candles on the silver candle holders were all extinguished, layers upon layers of collapsed tables surrounded the corpse, and exquisite bowl and dish fragments were scattered among them, shining in the brilliant lights.

Yin Wensi walked down layer by layer like this. Kai La, who was following him, felt that he was constantly going deep into some abyss. The surrounding environment hadn't changed, but the temperament on Yin Wensi's body became more and more deep.

Until the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor came, Yin Wensi stood at the foot of the stairs on the first floor and paused for a moment, not looking at the corpse, but walked straight toward the bathroom.

At the entrance of the bathroom, Luo De and Ben Jie Ming were standing there. Seeing Yin Wensi come over, Luo De wanted to lean up to talk, and Ben Jie Ming also seemed to have something to say, but Yin Wensi completely ignored them both. He walked directly into the bathroom.

A female corpse lay on the bathroom counter, shot in the waist, and had just died not long ago. She was still wearing a gorgeous evening gown. At this time, the dark blue skirt was stained with red blood, turning into a somewhat eerie purple. The moonlight from the window above the bathroom counter shone on her, casting a strange shadow on the ground.

Yin Wensi stood in the center of the bathroom. Luo De and Ben Jie Ming were standing behind him. Ben Jie Ming opened his mouth and said, "Three murder cases occurred in a row in one night..."

Luo De wiped his sweat with his hand and said, "It looks like it should be the murderer of the serial murder cases who did it."

"What is a serial murder case?" Yin Wensi suddenly opened his mouth to ask.

"Multiple murder cases in a short period of time..." Ben Jie Ming replied. Yin Wensi continued his words and said, "This concept also has a second half, that is, the modus operandi is consistent, and there is a connection between each case..."

Ben Jie Ming frowned. Yin Wensi turned sideways. He looked at the female corpse and said, "Is her cause of death consistent with old Pa Ke's? Is old Pa Ke's cause of death consistent with White's? Is the cause of death of these three people consistent with the murder cases that occurred before?"

"What is the connection between all these cases? Did the murderer leave a consistent symbol? Did he adopt a background story related to quantity? Do these people have any common characteristics?"

"If none of these exist, why do you feel it is a serial murder case?"

"But it happened together in a short period of time."

"That is just a murder case that happened together in a short period of time." Yin Wensi's speaking speed was very fast, seemingly not intending to give anyone a chance to stop and think. And next, his words made everyone present feel a chill down their backs.

"This murderer is too mediocre."

"I find it hard to imagine that there is such a stupid, boring, and untalented guy in this world."

"Kill one person, throw him down from upstairs, kill another one, and throw him down again. What is he doing?"

"Why does he not cherish life so much?"

"Why does he feel that the process of death can be easily solved with a gun or a knife?"

"Why does he feel that a corpse, such a precious resource, can be thrown away so casually without any artistry?"

"I guess he is an idiot who has read too many detective novels, standing from God's perspective to watch detectives solve cases, making him feel that these detectives are nothing more than that."

"I don't want to judge any detective novel, because that is a work that condenses the author's hard work. But I must say, even if he was inspired by some detective novels, those novels have long been outdated, just like him."

"In terms of theoretical knowledge, he didn't understand what is called a serial murder case, thinking that as long as he kills more people in a short period of time, he can be called a serial murder case. For this kind of thinking, I can only say that he is more suitable to go to the slaughterhouse to kill pigs, maybe he can get a performance champion."

"In terms of actual action, it is even more rough and poor. There is no choice of a suitable theme, no countdown to create tension, no sign marks, no clues related to numbers or patterns..."

Yin Wensi revealed a helpless smile, as if feeling very absurd, and said, "He didn't even unify the murder weapon, using a knife for a while, and a gun for a while..."

As he spoke, his expression turned into disgust again, and he said, "And, when he did it, he didn't pay attention at all. When the corpse fell, blood splashed everywhere, even dirtying the tassels on the tablecloth, and even knocked over the candle holder."

"He didn't think about what to do if the candle holder ignited the tablecloth. The carefully arranged murder case would turn into a chaotic fire scene, leaving only ugly scorch marks, everything would be destroyed, and any real serial murder case murderer would not allow this kind of accident to happen."

"His guidance to the crowd is also a mess, not reflecting any philosophical interrogation of human nature..."

"If you must let me judge these cases, I can only say..." Yin Wensi dragged a long tone and then summarized:

"A mediocre person's, cliché-ridden case."

"Enough!"

A cold voice came from the entrance of the bathroom. Ben Jie Ming turned his head to look at the gloomy Luo De.

Before, Ben Jie Ming had been focusing on listening to Yin Wensi, and didn't notice at all that the businessman beside him, who was always smiling, had a face that could be called ferocious.

Yin Wensi turned back again, quietly looking at Luo De, and said to him, "Mr. Luo De, do you know? I don't poke through an idiot's mind, not because I can't guess it, but because I am a tolerant person, hoping that this world can leave more room for fantasy for poor people like you."

"You said you invited me here for two purposes, namely to communicate with your son and to heal his illness, but in fact, you have a third purpose, that is, to commit a serial murder case in front of me."

"Of course, you have read my resume." Yin Wensi raised his volume. He looked at Luo De's gloomy eyes and said, "You know, I have participated in several of the most famous serial murder cases and have seen countless serial murder case murderers..."

"I know, you are eagerly looking forward to committing a seamless case in front of me and playing me around, to prove that you are a genius criminal standing at the top of the world."

"However, I didn't show any special emotion toward Mayor White's death. On the way to the bathroom, I told you that this case was too mediocre and I wasn't interested. So, you started to prepare for the next case in a hurry."

Yin Wensi revealed a helpless smile and said, "However, the innovation you made was just changing the murder weapon from a gun to a knife."

"Then, when I expressed my disdain more bluntly, you almost committed the third case out of anger."

"Then, the innovation you made was just changing the location of the corpse disposal from the banquet hall to the bathroom."

"This is you, Luo De, accept your fate."

"You are just an ordinary person, mediocre to the point of not being able to arouse any interest, without any genius brain."

"He doesn't have any genius brain." Ma Te sat by the wall, leaning his back against the wall, reaching out to cover his neck, revealing a contemptuous smile. He said, "But he has never been willing to admit this point from beginning to end."

"He is jealous of those geniuses to the point of going crazy. In order to get their genius and wisdom, he didn't hesitate to pay any price, including my mother."

"But the most ironic thing is that after he abused and killed her, he discovered that I, like my mother, am a super genius."

Ma Te coughed twice. His face was a bit pale, seemingly lacking physical strength. He said, "But he didn't dare to kill me again. He still has to rely on me to grab those secular interests for him."

Bruce stood in the center of the utility room, looking down at him. After being silent for a while, he walked toward Ma Te, stood in front of him, and the shadow fell on Ma Te. He lowered his head and asked, "Did you kill White and Pa Ke?"

Ma Te said disdainfully, "That was Luo De's own hand. It was that kind of simplest delay device, the kind in old detective novels, so he couldn't easily change the corpse disposal location, because the device was set up on the roof beam."

"That idiot has been trying to control me for the past ten years. I had to cooperate with him to act. But this time, he definitely fell."

"Why?" Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Te.

"Just now, I killed Mrs. Dai Weisi and threw her in the bathroom. I guess that professor who was called out of the room again should have been completely impatient."

Bruce frowned. Before he could ask, Ma Te said it himself, "Luo De's set of tricks can't fool anyone who is slightly smarter. Those arrangements he thought were exquisite are no different from the blocks built by children."

"I know, only that professor has been to that bathroom. As long as the third case happens there, someone will definitely go to call him."

"When he was checking me, I discovered that he is the same kind of person as me. We have some patience for idiots, but only a little."

"Once patience is lost, it will make him look good."

Ma Te laughed softly again. He looked at Bruce and said:

"I just finished killing someone and saw you drunk in the corridor. I thought, an alcoholic playboy being burned to death in the fire of his own wine would be a good way to die..."

"But now, you are alive, which is more interesting than being dead."

"Do you know? Every time Luo De introduces me to others, he will say, I would rather you be a playboy like little Wei En..."

"However, hahahaha, even little Wei En is not a playboy!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

"!"

Ma Te stood up. He laughed louder and louder. Just as he looked up to see Bruce, what appeared in his field of vision was Bruce's sandbag-sized fist. ===== CHAPTER 429 =====

Lex stood up, his laughter growing louder and louder. Just as he looked up at Bruce, what appeared in his field of vision was Bruce's fist, as large as a sandbag.
