Gao Tian couldn't help gritting his teeth. This murderer was too bold! In broad daylight, and most importantly, with the patrol police already stationed in the apartment, he still dared to commit murder in public? This was completely not putting the police in their eyes.
Little Silver rushed up with Gao Tian. At the door of the suite in Room 605, Little Silver could smell the strong smell of blood. He kicked the door open with his bare feet. He didn't use much strength, but the door was sent flying into the wall of the living room.
Gao Tian hurriedly summoned his police sword and rushed in. A police sword was standard issue for a police superintendent. Its hilt was shaped like a gun handle, and could be used as a gun or as a melee weapon. After being at ease with it, the sword could even be turned into an explosion-proof spirit escape with myriad uses.
He was worried that the murderer was still in the room, so he cautiously approached step by step with the spirit sword in hand. Then, Gao Tian and Little Silver saw a young man lying on a computer chair with his neck tilted. His neck had been cut open, and blood splattered on the computer screen. Although his windpipe had already been cut open, it wasn't completely severed.
Hearing that someone was coming, the young man started to struggle with all his might. He couldn't speak, and the expression on his face was extremely panicked.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer!" Gao Tian pressed down on the young man's shoulder, took out all his tools and prepared to give him first aid. So far, no one had seen what the murderer looked like or how he had committed the murder. If they could save this young man, it would be a major breakthrough in the case!
It had to be said that Gao Tian's mind was very calm, and he didn't let himself panic. But looking at the bottles and jars on the ground, Little Silver frowned deeply. "Are these of any use?"
"His windpipe has already been cut open. I've already called an ambulance; it's just basic first aid." To be honest, even Gao Tian himself didn't know if he could be saved.
Little Silver lowered his eyes slightly. After thinking for a bit, he bit his finger and squeezed a drop of holy beast blood onto the young man's wound, and then another drop of blood onto the young man's lips. Spirit power turned into steam, and the young man's injury healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is …" Gao Tian was taken aback.
"Don't tell anyone." Little Silver looked at Gao Tian.
He didn't know if this was the right thing to do.
After all, using one's own blood to treat an outsider risked exposing one's identity.
"Thanks." Gao Tian nodded and didn't say anything else.
Two drops of holy beast blood pulled the young man back from the brink of death. He was horrified, but at the same time, he was grateful. Fortunately, he did not see how he was saved. He only felt that the silver-haired man behind him seemed to have dripped something on his wound. After that, he seemed to have come back to life, and his breathing began to become smooth.
He must have used some kind of secret medicine on me?
The young man thought.
As a person who had walked on the edge of hell, the young man would not think so much. He did not care how he was saved at all. He only knew that he was lucky to have survived!
Gao Tian then began to question the young man in danger. He turned on the recording function of the police sword, and after entering the recording mode, the sword began to flash red.
Little Silver's lips twitched. This sword … was too omnipotent!
"What's your name? Age? Work? "
"My name is Shen Guangrong. This year, I graduated from a Jindan University. Now, I'm doing my graduation design at home."
"What major?"
"Spirit sword design major. I'm in the magic treasure design department. I specialize in designing the shape of magic treasures. "
"Mm." Gao Tian nodded. "Don't be afraid. We're here, so the murderer won't do anything to you. Tell me what on earth happened just now. "
The young man clenched his fists and started to sweat on his forehead.
To be honest, his encounter just now had been too fast. It had almost happened in the blink of an eye, and he had no idea what had happened at all.
"Unfortunately, Officer, I didn't see the murderer clearly …" Shen Guangrong said. Then, he looked at the laptop in front of him with lingering fear. "There was a pair of hands that suddenly reached out from the computer. I didn't even have time to react before they started attacking me with blades. Then, my throat was slit …"
"Computer screen murder?"
Gao Tian was shocked. "What kind of hands were those?"
"Those hands were hairy and a little black … they looked like the hands of a middle-aged man. The nails were very long, and there were some bloodstains between the nails."
"It looks like it should be the same murderer." Based on the details provided by Classmate Shen Guangrong, Gao Tian determined that the person who had attacked Shen Guangrong this time was the murder suspect in this serial murder case.
Judging from the description of the hands, this should be a dark-skinned man who was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed about 130 jin. The murderer hadn't cleaned the bloodstains between the nails; he probably regarded them as something like a "medal" and couldn't bear to wash them off. From this, Gao Tian determined that this murderer was one hundred percent mentally ill.
But to kill someone through a screen …
Gao Tian had indeed never encountered such a method before.
There were many methods in the cultivation world. To kill someone through a screen, one had to transform one's body into spirit fiber … It wasn't that there weren't such spells, since many delivery companies in the cultivation world already had a screen transmission service. But the problem was that the transmission was inanimate. To break down a person's body into something as ethereal as spirit fiber and then reassemble it on the other side of the screen, in Gao Tian's opinion, this was simply playing with fire.
Furthermore, given Songhai city's level of cultivation technology, the network police at the terminal would be able to detect it in an instant if a live body was really transmitted through a screen.
Gao Tian already knew the murderer's modus operandi. Indeed, killing someone through a screen could be done silently and without leaving the slightest trace. But there were still some inexplicable suspicious points in this murder case.
For example, the murderer had slit the throat of the college student Shen Guangrong who had just been in danger, which was very similar to the coder who had died on the fifth floor.
However, this didn't match the alchemist and the female online live streamer who had died first. The alchemist's house was decorated in a classical style, and there wasn't anything like a computer screen. If the murderer had wanted to break in, there had to be other methods.
As for the female online live streamer, if she had really been killed through a screen, she would have died in front of the audience. In fact, it was confirmed that she had been killed when she had opened the door.
Was it really possible for the same murderer to use two completely different killing methods? Was it to confuse the public? Or were there actually two murderers from the beginning?
