Free Web NovelChapter 996: Chapter 996: Drooling
"You’re not allowed to go on blind dates anymore." Mu Shaojie leaned back in his chair.
The morning sun fell upon him, making him the most dazzling presence even in an ordinary house.
Xue Xiangtong was simply mesmerized!
"You’re not allowed to wear that kind of dress in front of anyone again." He smiled again.
"Your drool is about to fall!" Mu Shaojie raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?" Xue Xiangtong hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve, Sixth Brother looked so good!
"What did I just say?" Mu Shaojie asked her.
Xue Xiangtong immediately replied, "No blind dates, no wearing that dress from yesterday. Sixth Brother, I’ve got it."
"Alright, I need to go to the film crew later." Mu Shaojie got up.
Xue Xiangtong, feeling a bit shy about sleeping with him, quickly said, "I’ll bring lunch to Sixth Brother at noon."
"Okay." Mu Shaojie walked away with large strides.
Xue Xiangtong went to the bathroom, washed both her and his clothes, and hung them out on the balcony.
She knew Sixth Brother’s taste, picked out ingredients, prepared lunch, and sent it to the film crew.
...
Tianqin Residence.
Mu Anhan was spending the weekend at home, studying the serial murder case in her study.
Since Pei Zhe was always following up on Pei Wei’s case, there were no new leads in the serial murder case, and no one was actively pursuing it.
Gu Xiaozhan pushed the door open and came in, "How about going for a swim at the beach?"
They had hardly gone out to have fun this summer.
"I don’t have time today, maybe next time!" Mu Anhan said, feeling uneasy without catching the killer.
Gu Xiaozhan stepped in and closed the door, "Still working on this case?"
"Yes, with no new crimes and no leads on old ones, we’re at a standstill now." Mu Anhan replied.
She feared a new case because it might mean another victim.
Without progress on old cases, they would remain cold.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at the photos on her desk, "The first victim, Yang Lili, represented lust among the seven deadly sins, having fun with the Qin father and son. The second victim was Tang Xiaomiao, a food live streamer, guilty of gluttony. The third victim Chen Zhimei, a freelancer, committed sloth, the fourth victim Zhao Sixue was a remote volunteer teacher, the fifth Su Zixin was a nurse, guilty of pride, the sixth victim Tang Jingman was a lawyer, representing greed. Let’s analyze the similarities and differences among them."
"I’ve always wondered why the killer targeted Zhao Sixue?" Mu Anhan frowned, "She’s completely different from the other five victims."
"Could it be a case of mimicry?" Gu Xiaozhan suggested.
Mu Anhan looked at him in surprise, "I’ve thought about that too, but the police are strict, even reporters don’t know, and since the symbols are the same, how could it be mimicked?"
Gu Xiaozhan stared at her, "There isn’t just one serial killer."
"It’s a group crime." Mu Anhan immediately grasped the concept he was pointing to.
Gu Xiaozhan pointed at the timeline on the blackboard, "Han Han, look, the gap between the sixth victim and now is quite long."
"That’s why there haven’t been any new crimes since Pei Wei and Gu Yongjin got caught." Mu Anhan realized, "Honey, do you think it’s possible that the serial killers were actually targeting them?"
"We can’t rule out that possibility, but everything requires evidence." Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "Also, if Zhao Sixue was a mimicry case, then soon there will be another victim."
"If the mimicry was done by someone in their group, it would follow the same pattern as Zhao Sixue’s case." Mu Anhan immediately said, "I’ll ask Tong Tong to investigate food live streamers close to Tang Xiaomiao..."
