A year and a half ago, in Palu, a city in central Sulawesi, Indonesia.
A middle-aged man with long hair was shopping in a large local supermarket with a very beautiful young woman who was pregnant.
They had already bought a lot of things and were waiting in line at the cashier counter.
"K," the woman said in fluent Chinese, "I want to buy a few more ice creams. I've been feeling very hot recently. In my hometown, it's called heart fire. I guess … "She smiled and pointed at her belly." It should be a boy, right? "
"Okay." The middle-aged man named K smiled charmingly. "Wait here, I'll go buy it!"
Then, the man turned around and walked toward the cold drinks area.
The cold drinks area was quite far from the counter. In order to buy ice cream as soon as possible, the man ran all the way to the freezer.
"Sir, would you like to buy ice cream?" The waitress in front of the freezer asked enthusiastically in Indonesian, "We have a few new flavors here! Which one do you want? "
"Um …" The man pointed at the dazzling array of ice cream in the freezer. He was a little dazzled, so he said to the waitress, "Just give me a few of the most expensive ones!"
"Wow, you're so generous …" The waitress opened the freezer and introduced them to the man. "These are the ones we have … Oh … Oh … What … What's going on …"
Just as the waitress was introducing the ice cream to the man, she suddenly felt dizzy. A second later, she suddenly realized that she wasn't the one who felt dizzy, but the entire supermarket building …
"Ah …" There was a scream in the distance. "Earth … Earthquake … It's an earthquake!"
Man K also felt the building shake. The whole building tilted, and in an instant, a lot of goods fell to the ground …
Crack … Crack …
Then, there was a horrible tearing sound from the ground. People were so scared that they all screamed and rushed toward the exit.
"No … No, no, no …"
Man K suddenly thought of his pregnant wife. He immediately put down the bag in his hand and ran to the cashier like crazy.
At that moment, the building shook more and more violently. The chandeliers flickered, and many ceilings fell from the roof, causing the supermarket to fall into chaos in the blink of an eye.
"Xia!" Man K shouted the woman's name as he ran. However, due to the distance, he could not see the woman at all, nor could he hear the woman's response.
In the midst of the mad rush, the building had already begun to collapse and collapse, the shelves of the supermarket were falling one after another, and the panicked crowd all rushed to the exit. Many people even collided into each other and fell down.
"Xia!" At this time, K had already approached the cashier area and could even see the woman's figure. The woman stood helplessly near the cashier, waiting anxiously for him.
Boom …
All of a sudden, the ground caved in and formed a deep pit, blocking K's way. However, without any hesitation, K leaped into the air and jumped over the pit.
However, the area of the pit was too large, so K could not jump over it completely. Just as he was about to fall, he grabbed the edge of the pit with both hands.
"Ah …" he shouted, struggling to climb to the ground.
But just as he climbed halfway, he found that the building was already tilting. The people standing near the cashier suddenly lost their balance and all slid towards the deep pit.
"No …" K exclaimed loudly, ignoring his own safety and the falling debris on the shelves. He kept staring at the woman he loved.
At this time, the woman named Xia inevitably slid down from a high place, right towards K's position.
"Don't be afraid … I will catch you!" K grabbed the floor with one hand and stretched out his other hand, trying to catch Xia, who was sliding towards him.
However, just as he stretched out his hand, the beam on the roof of the building suddenly couldn't bear the weight and broke, falling right on Xia!
Boom …
In the huge roar, K's wailing was engulfed by the billowing smoke …
…
Time turned back to the present. There was only one day left before the three-day appointment with the murderer Liang Yili.
If Zhao Yu and the others still couldn't solve the mystery of the murder, no one knew what Liang Yili would do next.
The only thing they could be sure of was that what Liang Yili was going to do was definitely not a good thing!
"In other words, we can now prove …" Zhao Yu stood in front of the whiteboard and asked Zhang Peipei, "Liang Yili and Yu Zhengran are not related by blood?"
"Yes!" Zhang Peipei said. "Teacher Gao invited a genetic expert. According to Liang Yili's DNA, he doesn't have any Southeast Asian characteristics, so he should be a Chinese!"
"That is to say …" Zhao Yu pondered and said, "Liang Yili and Yu Zhengran's granddaughter are not father and daughter, but …"
"They must be a couple!" Cui Lizhu insisted. "Didn't I tell you? Liang Yili killed people and took their bones to summon the soul of his dearest loved one! "
"Team Leader …" Zeng Ke guessed, "Do you think Liang Yili is a bodyguard of the Yu family? Yu Zhengran's family was killed, then he saved Yu Zhengran's granddaughter.
Then, they fell in love with each other and became a couple. "
"Then, the killers found them and killed Yu Zhengran's granddaughter."
"Finally, Liang Yili got angry and came back for revenge?"
"Wow, that's so melodramatic," Cui Lizhu pouted. "This plot is so old-fashioned!"
"Regardless of whether the plot is old-fashioned or not, at least one thing is certain!" Zhao Yu said. "Since Liang Yili brought the skull back to the Yu family house to summon the soul, the owner of the skull should at least be a member of the Yu family!"
"But … If Zeng Ke is right, how do you explain the relationship between Liang Yili and the three male corpses? They should belong to the same killer organization. "
"Internal strife?" Cui Lizhu shook her head.
"I think …" Zhao Yu pointed to the whiteboard and said, "Since Liang Yili used the three male corpses as a puzzle, the answer may be in their relationship!
As long as we can understand their relationship, we may be able to know what Liang Yili wants to do! "
Knock knock knock …
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the office.
Cui Lizhu was very close to the door, so she hurriedly opened it. But when she saw the person who came in, she immediately pouted, indicating that she did not welcome him.
The person who came in was Captain Xiao Hang, who had caught Cui Lizhu before.
"Leader Zhao," Xiao Hang greeted Cui Lizhu with his eyes, then hurriedly reported to Zhao Yu, "We followed your suggestion and used a secret investigation to check the residence of the two deceased men. As a result …" he said.
