Chapter 161: Prank
As Officer Li prepared to set off, he sighed. “The rich live in that area. Even if it’s rented, the price is not cheap. So this serial killer is actually a wealthy person?”
Officer Zhang said, “The richer you are, the more perverted you can be.”
CEO Feng and CEO Lin did not have the time to respond to these words. This time, in order to save Gu Chu, they were working together for the first time.
They got into the police car and rushed to the villa area with a large number of police officers.
In the car, the chief officer told them about the situation. The more they knew about the villa, the more confident they were in rescuing Gu Chu.
“The landlord sent the topographic map of the house, and the sniper is in position. The landlord said that she rented the house to a woman named Su Xin. Su Xin’s ID number and other information are being confirmed.”
“Also, the surveillance footage shows that Pan Zhen and another man had entered and left the villa together, but that man seemed to be avoiding the surveillance cameras and his face was not captured.”
Lin Yu looked at his phone. “I’ve also found Su Xin. She had been working in the United States. CEO Feng, take a look.”
Feng Jia took the phone and looked at it. His brows furrowed and his expression was unintelligible.
Heavy rain continued to pour on the glass window, showing no signs of stopping. After hearing Gu Chu’s words, the young man smiled. “How am I not the Little Red Flower Killer?”
Gu Chu felt that he didn’t really want to kill her, so after she relaxed and regained her composure, “You don’t seem like him at all.”
“Huh?” The man was curious. “I’m all ears.”
“This is either a hotel or a high-class apartment. I’m sitting on a leather sofa. I can also smell the scent of essential oil. It must have been placed in a humidifier. It’s been diluted and it’s still so pure. It’s obvious that it’s very expensive. Moreover, you’re drinking red wine.”
Gu Chu slowly came to a conclusion. “All of this means that you’re actually very rich.”
The man laughed. “Rich people cannot be murderers?”
Gu Chu shook her head. “You have another accomplice. That shouldn’t be the case. Serial killers like to act independently.”
This was all thanks to Ms. Lin Yin, who liked to read mystery novels and television dramas. Every time, she would analyze them, so she remembered some of them.
For example, for various reasons, serial killers would commit crimes by themselves, enjoying the pleasure and not looking for help.
The man did not speak.
Gu Chu said again. “And your voice, it sounds too young. You’re probably in your twenties or less than thirty years old, right?”
“The Little Red Flower Killer started committing crimes more than twenty years ago. How old were you then? Everyone said that he was a brawny man in his twenties or thirties then, so he’s probably in his fifties now.”
“It’s more believable to say that your accomplice is the serial killer.”
The man smiled again.
There was another thing that she could not understand. Why did he have to blindfold her?
She was going to die anyway. Why was he afraid that she would see his face?
Unless...it was someone she knew?
She thought about it carefully and said, “I think your voice sounds a little familiar. Have we met before?”
The young man laughed out loud and took off her blindfold. Gu Chu narrowed her eyes when they were exposed to light.
The man complimented her, “Gu Chu, you’re as smart as ever.”
Gu Chu was stunned. He was actually... !
When Feng Jia and the others walked to the entrance of the villa, it was pitch black inside. There was no movement at all.
The chief commander’s walkie-talkie sounded, “The lights went out five minutes ago.”
“Could they have discovered us?”
“I’m not sure. There were two figures walking around inside just now. Miss Gu is sitting on the sofa. Both parties are very calm.”
After some consideration, the chief commander gave the order, “Go in.”
Feng Jia got out of the car. “I’ll go too.”
“No.” He was stopped by someone. “The situation is unknown. The assailant might have a murder weapon in his hand. It’s very dangerous.”
Lin Yu also got out of the car. “I want to go in as well.”
The commander: “...”
Feng Jia didn’t even blink. “With me here, the hostage won’t panic.”
Lin Yu said, “I’m responsible for myself.”
The special unit team sneaked into the first floor but didn’t find anyone. They stuck close to the wall and entered the second floor.
After Feng Jia entered, his eyes had already adapted to the darkness. After scanning the living room, he took off the watch on his wrist.
A chill gathered between his brows. After reading Su Xin’s information, he had a vague guess in his heart.
Now, he was even more certain.
He quickly went upstairs.
