At this moment, Irin raised her hand. "Can I leave now?"
Gu Sinan glanced at Irin. She seemed to be thinking about the case and didn't say anything.
Xu Zhiyong smiled and didn't make things difficult for Irin. "Okay, thank you for telling me the truth. However, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, I hope you won't leave Qing City before we find the murderer."
After a pause, Xu Zhiyong's own words seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, so he explained, "The murderer has not been determined yet. It is very likely to be a dangerous … professional. If the murderer learns that you provided the clues, you may also be in danger, so I hope you can cooperate with our work. It is also for your safety."
Irin asked in a slightly panicked tone, "Then, I should be cleared of suspicion, right? Although I know the password to his door, and although I don't get along with him, this matter really has nothing to do with me … "
Xu Zhiyong wanted to say something.
However, Gu Sinan interrupted him. "We'll only know if you're a suspect after the investigation. If there's a need, we'll contact you again."
Irin lowered her head. "…"
Xu Zhiyong whispered, "Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back."
Yi Lin nodded. He turned around and left in silence.
She called her colleagues who were standing guard at the door and asked Irin to leave.
Xu Zhiyong frowned and asked in a low voice, "Captain Gu, do you really think …"
Gu Sinan shook her head and her expression softened. "I was just scaring him."
"Scaring?" Xu Zhiyong was stunned.
He was just a student. Was it necessary?
"From the way the victim died and the fact that there were no traces left at the scene, it's very likely that the murderer is a professional killer from the 'underground world'. His overall attributes … shouldn't be too low. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to slit the victim's throat without any reaction. Moreover, from the whole process of the murder, the murderer should be a very cautious person. "
"I've seen this type of murderer before. They would never expose themselves to danger. Whether it's the first person to discover the murderer or the first person to reveal that he doesn't get along with the victim, these have nothing to do with being 'cautious'."
"I think that kid's reaction is reasonable. If he didn't reveal any flaws, I would find him very suspicious. "
"Also, murderers of this type often have a characteristic when choosing their targets."
Xu Zhiyong nodded. "That's right. Captain Gu is right. This type of murderer usually doesn't choose people they are familiar with, so this is one of the reasons why I ruled out that student as a suspect."
Gu Sinan frowned and suddenly asked, "Old Xu, do you know why I received the news of a simple murder case within 20 minutes?"
"Oh? This is … "Xu Zhiyong followed Gu Sinan's words and asked.
"Xiao Yang, the only son of the president of Qing City's' Heng Yang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. '… He's no ordinary person."
"What? It's actually that Xiao Clan? "Xu Zhiyong's face revealed a shocked expression.
"That's right." Gu Sinan furrowed her brows and sighed softly. "That person surnamed Xiao isn't a pushover. The higher-ups have already resisted the pressure. In short, this matter definitely can't be treated as a simple murder case. Currently, collect clues as soon as possible and expand the search area. Also, thoroughly investigate whether there are any suspicious people recently. Come to Qing City through the 'Earth Net' and find all the suspects first. "
"Understood."
Gu Sinan looked at Xiao Yang's corpse on the ground. Her frightened expression contained a bit of disbelief.
She didn't know why, but she felt that she was missing something.
Her intuition had always been very sharp.
Gu Sinan felt that this matter wasn't so simple.
…
…
"Gu Sinan, Gu Sinan, Gu Sinan?"
On the way back, Irin kept thinking about this name.
Was there such a person in the future apostle circle?
Or …
Even with Gu Sinan's super high attributes, she still couldn't be summoned to become an apostle?
Although Irin didn't dare to say that she had a lot of friends, and before the apocalypse, many apostles were hidden in the dark. They had all kinds of identities as cover and very few of them stood out in the open.
But no matter what, some powerful apostles, no matter how they hid, their names would still resound in the apostle circle.
And in Irin's memory, he had never heard of such a person.
Or was she already dead before she became famous?
It was possible.
Although they had only met for a short time, Irin's first impression of this woman was only one word.
Terrifying.
Just now, it seemed like a simple question.
But the psychological battle, the battle of wits hidden in the words, was something that only Irin knew the best.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had made preparations in advance, Irin might have given himself away.
Moreover, during the entire interrogation, Irin sensed that the woman's body had been intentionally or unintentionally blocking the only exit of the room, cutting off Irin's escape route.
If only Xu Zhiyong was investigating this matter.
Irin was confident that all the preparations and plans he had made could make the other party shift their attention away from him.
But if the intuition of Gu Sinan was added …
Perhaps …
There was an additional 10% uncertainty.
"I hope that we don't have to use that backup plan."
Irin shook his head helplessly.
Once "that" backup plan was used, it was bound to push Irin into a very troublesome situation.
This was also the one that Irin didn't want to see the most out of the 28 speculations of what would happen next.
Although the real world of 2121 wasn't as mysterious and unpredictable as the trial in the inner world, it wasn't that simple either.
This water was very deep.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed.
Xiao Yang's murder case had already caused a huge uproar in the class.
But because they had been ordered to keep their mouths shut in advance, this matter hadn't been completely spread in the city's local area network.
At the moment, whether it was the appearance of the murderer, the motive, or even whether it was a serial killer, they couldn't be sure. In order to avoid causing panic, the media hadn't reported it yet.
During this period, Irin was also called to the Qing City Police Station to make a few statements.
Well, to be precise, four times.
Once a day.
Irin knew very well that Gu Sinan hadn't completely ruled out the suspicion on him.
So every time he took a statement, Irin would deliberately make some small "harmless" mistakes, which would reduce the suspicion on him.
Irin wouldn't stupidly make a statement as if he was reciting a book.
Today, Irin received a call from Xu Zhiyong as usual.
"This, Xiao Yi, I'll have to trouble you today …" After interacting with him for the past few days, Xu Zhiyong had a lot more understanding of this honest young man.
Xu Zhiyong also felt a little embarrassed to call him to the police station so many times.
But …
It was the captain's order.
Xu Zhiyong was also quite helpless.
"Still going? Haven't you found the murderer yet? "
Irin's tone was a little helpless.
"This is the last time. This should be the last time." Xu Zhiyong comforted him.
When he arrived at the police station, Irin sat up straight in the recording room.
Suddenly, Irin's pupils shrank slightly.
But his expression didn't show the slightest difference.
As usual.
With a Spirit attribute as high as 5.5, he felt a hostile gaze. To be precise, it should be a faint murderous intent that fell on him through a one-way glass.
