Chapter 6: Unease

”The heck, is eating human sas.h.i.+mi popular these days?” I cursed. Closing the store, I then called out a taxi to hurry up towards Jiangchen garden. If I am not wrong, today's death definitely has a very close relation to Yang Cui-hua's case. Or maybe, today's victim was the real reason for the murderers use of the stillborn spirit.

”d.a.m.n, what a sick taste.” Entering the residence of the dead, I looked at the dead male and rubbed my nose. Something different from Yang Cuihua was that this male had eaten his own male part, I even saw a strand of egg yolk on the corner of his mouth.

The scene of the crime was at the building next to Yang Cuihua's. There was a tense atmosphere in the whole neighborhood due to the serial killings of two people in a week. People gathered and asked for the concrete details regarding the case. But, these two cases were really strange, the security bureau had sent a command to the police officers to not reveal anything.

”A familiar smell!” I circled around the room and took a light breath. Now I am certain that this man was definitely killed by the stillborn spirit, the same one that killed Yang Cuihua.

”What familiar smell?” Liu Jianjun was worthy of being a veteran criminal police officer, he grasped what I had mumbled to myself.

”Smell of the blood along with something else.” I glanced at him and said. ”Finish up the search and pack up. Take me to the mortuary the day after tomorrow.” I pushed open the window and took a huge breath. After the ghost aura left behind by the stillborn spirit was dispersed by the suns.h.i.+ne, I turned around towards Liu Jianjun.

”Who reported the case?” As I walked towards the door, I suddenly stopped and asked.

”Hourly worker. This hourly worker was employed by both Yang Cuihua and this victim. Because they had done a lot of dealings, the victim trusted this worker and gave her a key. Consecutively facing two dead people, and they both were her own employers, this hourly worker has really bad luck.” Liu Jianjun pointed at an older lady who was going through the inquiries near the door.

”Hm, the murderer can't be her.” As I walked past the hourly worker, I sniffed the smell on her body and said to Liu Jianjun.

”Have you looked into the relation between the today's dead and Yang Cuihua?” I walked towards the elevator and asked another question to Liu Jianjun.

”We haven't had the time. You say why everyday…..” Liu Jianjun sighed. They hadn't gotten any clues to the previous case and now there was another dead. This events caused Liu Jianjun – a criminal police captain – to feel great pressure.

”Let nature take its course. Some things will happen even if you don't want it to.” I could only try comforting such a dedicated police officer.

”Alright, pay attention to your own safety!” As I entered the elevator, I told Liu Jianjun this sentence. The killer had already killed two people. In case, Liu Jianjun's investigation starts to close-in on the killer, there was no guarantee that the killer won't make another move.

”No need to worry, I have this!” Liu Jianjun flashed the amulet I gave him and laughed.
