Chapter 26: The Ghost of Karen University
St. Karen Police Station?
Luo Wei and Yi Weier looked at each other, both a little confused.
Why did the police suddenly come to them? Was it because of the fight that happened in the old house three days ago?
But Luo Wei clearly remembered that the incident did not attract official attention.
The battle was indeed fierce, and involved alien species that the authorities were wary of.
But all of this happened inside the old house, which outsiders couldn't see. Moreover, the place was remote, with no neighbors within a mile.
In the next three days, no police came to the door.
Luo Wei looked at Yi Weier, who hurriedly straightened her messy collar and smoothed her hair.
"Please wait a moment."
Luo Wei looked at her actions and started to complain.
"It's like an affair..."
Ivril smiled and helped Luo Wei straighten his collar.
"Isn't it?"
Luo Wei remained silent, as if, was it really like this?
Yves cast a wink at her.
No! She almost confused me! Luo Wei looked at her angrily.
I'm a pure-hearted male student who was deceived! How can this be called an affair?
At this time, Yves's expression had changed back to that of "Teacher Yves", and she opened the office door with an expressionless face.
There were three people standing outside the door, two of them were wearing St. Karen police uniforms, and the other one should be the school teacher responsible for leading the way.
The two policemen, one was a young stranger, and the other had a beard and a police officer badge on his chest. He was actually an old acquaintance of his.
Luo Wei laughed, "Sheriff Ramones, long time no see."
The police officer in front of him, wearing a black coat and with sharp eyes, is the Sheriff Ramones that you often encounter in the game.
In the previous plot, he was always involved in various strange cases for the sake of his mission, so he also had intersections with the sheriff.
"I really don't want to see you, kid..." Sheriff Ramones' eyes were a little complicated.
But I still introduced myself formally.
"Hello, I'm Sergeant Ramones from the St. Karen Police Station, and this is my assistant, Officer Leon."
"I'm here to investigate a case, so please cooperate with me."
Teacher Yves politely invited the two in.
Then, she looked at Sheriff Lemons in confusion, "What case? Why are you targeting us two?"
Sheriff Lemons glanced at Luo Wei and asked Yi Weier, "Where were you at eleven o'clock three days ago?"
"Three days ago? Eleven o'clock?"
Yves and Rowe looked at each other.
“I was doing a home visit at the time.”
"Who is the person for the home visit?"
"That's the kid." Evelyn pointed at Luo Wei.
Looking at Sheriff Lemons's scrutinizing gaze, Luo Wei nodded honestly.
"Is that so... If that's the case..."
Sheriff Lemons seemed lost in thought.
"Sheriff, what happened ?" Luo Wei had some guesses in his mind, but still wanted to ask carefully.
Then, just as he thought, it was about the missing person case on campus.
"Three nights ago, a junior girl from your school disappeared shortly after leaving school and is currently suspected to be dead."
Sheriff Ramones sighed deeply.
"This is the fifth missing person case that has occurred recently..."
Five consecutive missing cases... Luo Wei fell into deep thought. He didn't expect so many things to happen during these days when he was busy.
And the night three days ago was exactly when Helena locked him in the basement.
"Sheriff, tell me the details of the case." Luo Wei looked at Lemons seriously.
"How did you know she disappeared at eleven o'clock? How could you narrow down the time of the crime to such a precise time?"
"Please also give me the information of the remaining four victims."
Sheriff Lemons nodded and looked at his assistant.
Officer Leon had been recording the conversation between the men, and when he saw Chief Lemons's actions, he immediately showed a puzzled expression.
"Sheriff? Are you going to..."
"This is the police station's internal information. How can it be leaked to outsiders?"
"And he's..." The young police officer glanced at Luo Wei in surprise, "And he's a young student?"
"Don't worry, he is my old friend." Sheriff Ramones gave a helpless smile.
"Although I don't want to see him at all, I know it's not good when I see him..."
"But this guy is still trustworthy."
Luo Wei shrugged even more helplessly than him, "I should be the one saying this to you, right? Seeing you is no good..."
"But..." The young police officer, who was always committed to his police duties, was still a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Ramones didn't get angry, but walked over and whispered in his ear.
"Remember the Blackwater Town case and the abandoned factory case?"
The young police officer nodded in confusion and whispered, "I know."
Lemons glanced at Luo Wei. "Including these two cases, he was involved in several strange cases that were covered up by the authorities and could not be made public. He also assisted me in some way."
"Doesn't that make me even more suspicious?!" Leon's eyes suddenly widened.
Who on earth would keep wandering around in all those horrific crimes? It would be even stranger to say he's not a suspect!
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you guys talking bad about me behind my back?" Luo Wei curled his lips.
Ramones ignored him and continued speaking into the young officer's ear.
"You might not believe this . He's not suspected at all and is completely innocent. In short... just think of him as a freak who likes these things."
The young police officer looked at Luo Wei, who looked uneasy, and felt very confused.
“There are still people like this…”
"Also, have you forgotten what you just wrote down?" Lemons continued, "They can both testify against each other. They both have alibis. I know that kid's home. It's in the remote West Side, very far from the crime scene, so he's not a suspect."
"Oh, that's right..." Leon finally reacted.
Since he was an old acquaintance of the sheriff and had an alibi, he finally felt relieved.
Then he took out the case file he carried with him and handed it to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei sat in Yiwei's office chair and began to read the information in the file carefully.
The missing girl was not a boarding student. She was probably missing in an alley not far from the school. Someone heard her cry for help at eleven o'clock.
The reason why she left school before 11 o'clock was because it was approaching the end of the semester and she spent the whole day in the library. The library of Karen University would extend its closing time every year in this month based on student demand, so it would be open until about 10:30.
I didn't expect that this senior who studied hard and didn't want to fail would be killed because of such a thing.
So, cherish life and stay away from studying...
After reading the file of this poor senior, Luo Wei looked through the files of the other missing persons.
The missing persons include both men and women, and except for freshmen, there are also students from several years of college.
But what troubled him was that these people had nothing in common except that they were all students of Karen University. They did not know each other before and had no connection.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the perpetrator is most likely someone inside the school because he knows the closing time of the library. Of course, it is not ruled out that an outsider deliberately inquired about the news in the school.
And there's one more thing.
Given that Rowe and Sheriff Lemons always provoke "alien" creatures, and this is the first chapter after the game is updated...
Therefore, it is highly likely that the murderer is an "alien" with unpredictable abilities, which is why he can kill people silently, leaving no traces and leaving the police helpless.
For some reason, Luo Wei inexplicably thought of Helena's face.
"I remember that after I fell unconscious, she locked you in the basement and you also lost consciousness..."
Teacher Yves leaned close to his ear and asked quietly.
"Before the confrontation between the three of us, where was she and what did she do?"
