Chapter 501: The Murderer

~6 min read 1,088 words

Mao Li Xiaowu forced himself out of his stupor, wiped his face with both hands, and his brain—which cannot operate quickly unless touching something important—began to run rapidly.

Omura has always been an optimistic guy; rather than depression, his biggest problem is introversion. Moreover, his build does not look like the type that would be assaulted.

However, such naive thoughts were quickly scattered.

The assault referred to is not during university; perhaps it was even earlier, or even when he was a child with no resistance. Therefore, not just girls, but everyone except me has such a possibility.

Mao Li Xiaowu can now only confirm that he did not have such an experience, so the deceased definitely cannot be him.

As for whose problem the depression is, that is not easy to see either.

The more depressed a person is, the more they tend to appear normal; the more serious the psychological problem, the less it shows on the surface.

Judging a person's psychological problems from the surface is stupid.

There are many clues, even very obvious ones, but they are all information known only to the parties involved.

Mao Li Xiaowu also has no way to know who the deceased is from this information; after all, they are just university classmates, not high school, or even middle school or elementary school classmates, so they do not know each other so thoroughly.

"Kid, I feel that you are not joking."

At this moment, Mao Li Xiaowu confirmed that the kid in front of him is absolutely not joking; no joke can be taken to this extent.

"Is this not something you investigated in advance?"

This is not just Mao Li Xiaowu's question, but everyone's question.

For this question, Ren Amamiya did not answer immediately, but asked a counter-question:

"Does doing this bring me any benefit at all?"

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then their faces immediately darkened.

Their answer after thinking was that there is no benefit at all.

People can do incredible things for profit, but no one will do something that brings no profit and no benefit to themselves.

Because there is no benefit at all, it cannot be an investigation conducted in advance.

Doing this is actually meaningless in itself.

Moreover, investigating details down to personal information cannot deduce who the murder victim is.

If the deceased could be deduced so easily, there would not be so many deceased and murderers in this world.

In a situation that is almost entirely uncertain, specifically investigating one person's files is also meaningless.

Could it really be the result of divination?

Chuankenan, who reached the conclusion logical and natural, also began to doubt the authenticity of the divination.

Because it involves too many uncertainties, he also knows that investigating in advance is meaningless unless one is the person who planned the murder case.

But, can such a thing exist?

Specifically choosing a murder case at an uncle's class reunion, and deliberately choosing to target the uncle's old classmates? That is blatant provocation, isn't it? And would the person who did this jump out voluntarily and expose themselves as a fortune teller?

This is completely behavior that seeks death.

Of course, a more important reason is that there is no motive and no reason.

Chuankenan strongly agreed with what Ren Amamiya just said about the topic of benefits.

No one will do something that brings absolutely no benefit.

He also had a simple understanding of the information about Ren Amamiya; he is a classmate of his from Teitan High School and usually belongs to the type of classmate who does not fit in at school.

His life is tight, but he is a representative of working while studying.

For such a person, Chuankenan finds it very hard to imagine what necessity there is for him to plan some murder cases.

Moreover, if such planning really exists, it is aimed at the uncle, and the person who did such a thing also has a grudge against the uncle.

Therefore, the situation of deliberate planning must be excluded even more.

After thinking it through, Chuankenan actually felt that divination was the most normal answer.

But it is exactly such thoughts that make Chuankenan feel his CPU is burnt out.

He is a detective who speaks logic properly.

A detective believing in divination, is that reasonable?

"Mr. Mao Li, are you still interested in the murderer?"

"Yes. Of course I am!"

The news about the deceased is too closed off; Mao Li Xiaowu really cannot think of who that person is. He also needs to learn about the murderer's divination content; maybe he can know which one of the old classmates it is from the murderer's divination.

And at this moment, Mao Li Xiaowu's expression is much more serious than at the very beginning.

He has started to believe the result of the divination.

To this, Ren Amamiya just smiled slightly, then began to pack up the tarot cards and reshuffle them again.

Then he began the divination for the subsequent content, casually drawing three cards from the deck.

Reversed Lovers, Reversed Sun, Upright Devil.

"The murderer's 18-year love marathon ended without result; half a year ago, because long-term love received no response, he finally had to choose to give up, established a relationship with another opposite sex through introduction by others, but what followed was endless harassment faced by the murderer's fiancée, and the crazy threats from the former love object."

"Finally, the murderer still made a difficult decision; he prepared to settle it once and for all, completely resolving the person at this gathering."

Good lord, the murderer revealed a lot of information, but the key content is still unknown.

Mao Li Xiaowu took a deep breath.

The murderer and the deceased had an 18-year love marathon, but the question of who these two people are still leaves people baffled.

Even a married man like Ayashiro Yukio cannot completely rule out suspicion; if this divination points to an affair, then it is completely wrong.

Much of the content of the divination has already been deleted; the personal information sounds like a lot, but the key parts have been hidden.

But one thing Mao Li Xiaowu has become very clear about is that if it really follows what the divination says, then this old class reunion is probably really going to have something big happen.

This made Mao Li Xiaowu's face show a bit more irritability.

"Kid, can't you say a bit more about the content of the divination?"
