Chapter 39 Hunting the murderer!
After a long time, the girl and the monster disappeared in the mist, and the bathroom returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
The water in the shower slid down Han Fei's body, and he fell to the bathroom floor, having lost all his strength.
His clothes were completely wet, and he looked at his hands, still feeling a sense of unreality.
"I... dug up the flesh."
Although his original intention was to save people, the horrific scene still had a great impact on Han Fei.
It was as if he was standing at the murder scene, watching everything happen.
With his head buzzing, Han Fei put his hands under the shower and kept washing them. It seemed that there was blood on them that was invisible to the naked eye.
“This is just a novice mission.”
After a long while, Han Fei got up from the ground. He turned off the shower and stood blankly in front of the bathroom mirror.
The blood flowers blooming on the wall just now were too shocking. Even when he thinks about it now, he still feels scared.
"Wei Youfu asked me to help that girl. The other victims didn't cause any trouble. In their opinion, the girl in the monster's body needed help."
Han Fei didn't dare to get too close to the mirror. He silently sorted out the clues in his mind.
"The girl looked to be in her teens, but she seemed to know nothing and was completely isolated from society. Her world only consisted of her father, mother, and siblings. Perhaps it was because she had not received a normal education that she could say such horrible words in such a calm tone."
The clothes were sticking to his body, and Han Fei now had a splitting headache. He was mentally and physically exhausted.
"My mental and physical strength are still too poor. I can't hold on after just two novice missions. I still need to level up as soon as possible."
With his back against the wall, Han Fei was now a little unsteady. He opened the attribute panel and first added all the free skill points he had gained from completing two novice tasks to his acting skills.
"Player No. 0000, please note! Your acting skills have reached Intermediate Level 5! Congratulations on crossing the watershed. Now you are qualified to say that you have acting skills!"
After playing the game for a few days, Han Fei used all his skill points to improve his acting skills. He was in a life-and-death crisis and didn't care too much.
Now, after seeing the system prompts, he realized that his acting skills had indeed improved greatly. He could easily control his facial muscles and make subtle changes in expressions easily.
In addition to the improvement in skills, his psychological endurance and adaptability have also made a leap. It is estimated that many seniors who have been in the industry for many years are not as good as him in this regard.
After upgrading his acting skills, Han Fei took out the landlord's diary from the inventory. It looked like an ordinary black notebook, clean and without a single word in it.
"I guess it's because I haven't mastered the correct usage yet." Han Fei was really too tired. He put the notebook back into the inventory, then walked out of the bathroom and closed the unlocked security door. "What a pity, no neighbors came to visit last night."
After finishing his work, Han Fei chose to quit the game.
The blood color spread to the whole world, and Han Fei was now used to it.
Taking off his gaming helmet, he lay on the bed, not wanting to move.
It has been dark in the game, but the sun has risen in reality.
Lying quietly on the bed, Han Fei opened his eyes and his mind was filled with clues to the murder case. When he closed his eyes, he felt as if he was in a sea of blood and corpses.
In this extreme entanglement, he slowly fell asleep.
The midday sun shone into the house through the gaps in the curtains. Han Fei was awakened by the phone ringing. The electric shock device, baton and other items he ordered online had arrived.
After retrieving the express, Han Fei read the instructions and learned how to use it. Now he can be considered to have some combat effectiveness.
After eating something casually, Han Fei turned on the phone and began to sort out the clues bit by bit.
"The eighth victim was a girl, probably between thirteen and sixteen years old. Considering that there is no information about her in the citizen database, she is most likely an abandoned baby. In today's technologically advanced world, even orphans in orphanages have a complete identity registration. Only children who have been completely isolated from the outside world since childhood will not be found in the database."
"With the help of the sixth generation of intelligent computers, as long as a person leaves some traces on the Internet, his identity can be identified and traced. This means that the deceased No. 8 has never used the Internet."
"Abandoned babies, forests, weird parents."
Han Fei took a pen and wrote a sentence on the blank picture of deceased No. 8 - living in a place far away from the city and technology, possibly deep in the forest.
"The murderer killed people with beauty. Number 8 was the last to die, dying before dawn, at the moment when the work was completed. Through the tanka of number 8, I think the murderer is most likely number 8's father."
The scope of the investigation was further narrowed, and Han Fei thought of another clue.
"If the murderer really chose to kill Wei Youfu because he had a beautiful soul, then the murderer was likely acquainted with Wei Youfu."
After searching Wei Youfu's interpersonal relationships online, Han Fei finally set his sights on the toy collection store that Wei Youfu often visited.
He studied it for a long time and found that no one, from the store owner to the employees, could have committed the crime.
"So many people need to be checked just for Wei Youfu. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone." Han Fei only now realized how difficult it is for the police to handle cases. After thinking it over again and again, he finally decided to seek help from the police.
Hiding his gaming helmet, Han Fei took out his cell phone and called Li Xue .
It is too difficult for a comedian to independently investigate a serial murder case that happened ten years ago.
Han Fei needs help, and he also wants to make a deal with Li Xue.
"Li Xue, do you have time now?" Han Fei's cell phone was filled with shouting and begging, but Li Xue's voice was nowhere to be heard: "Are you on a mission?"
“I’m fighting pornography.”
"Can you come to my house? I know what the eighth victim in the human puzzle looks like."
"Have you figured out the identity of number eight?!" Li Xue's tone of voice changed: "Okay! I'll be there right away!"
"The place I rent is..."
"I know where your home is. Have you forgotten why I personally sent you home last time?"
Twenty minutes after the call ended, Li Xue, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at Han Fei's door.
"Your house is quite clean. You don't look like a man living alone."
After entering the house, when Li Xue saw the wall of Han Fei's house, she was stunned.
Such a large wall was covered with photos of the victims, and all the relationships and clues were listed in detail. At first glance, it was like walking into the office of the serious crime team.
"Sit anywhere." Han Fei poured Li Xue a glass of water.
"I remember you were an actor, weren't you?" Li Xue's eyes were still fixed on the densely packed photos on the wall: "Are you also working part-time as a private detective?"
“Don’t get me wrong, I just recently starred in a play that was related to human body puzzles. The play was called Flower of Evil, and it was adapted from human body puzzles.” Ever since Han Fei played “Perfect Life”, he has given people a gentle and humble feeling, and he is neither arrogant nor impatient no matter what he does.
"You mean... you only learned about the human body puzzle for the sake of filming, but now you have found out key information about the deceased No. 8?" Li Xue is a former detective in the serious crime squad who has seen a lot of ups and downs, but she was also shocked by Han Fei at this moment.
