Chapter 745 The Tragic Crime Scene (1/2)

When they were having lunch, Lin Huang quickly skimmed through the information he had.

Based on the detailed information provided, it was clear that the 16 victims had no relation to each other. Basically, they came from different footholds and their family members did not know each other as well. Nothing odd was found from the victims' journeys and call logs a month ago before their death.

”How is it? Is there any useful information?” Xia Hou asked. He could not speak clearly as he was munching on a rare steak. His mouth was covered in juice.

”No.” Lin Huang shook his head. He was lost after sifting through the information.

”What should we do next?” Xia Hou swallowed the steak and asked again.

”Let's decide later after going to the crime scene.” Lin Huang had no other ideas though.

After lunch, the both of them headed to the crime scene.

Lin Huang decided to investigate the time when the incident happened. He went to the crime scene where the first victim was killed 16 days ago. It was located in a small lane with low-rise housing.

The both of them followed the coordinates provided by the Union Government. Soon, they got the exact location.

The small lane was completely isolated by the Union Government using the supreme relic and there were only two guards. After Xia Hou and Lin Huang had shown them their investigation and a.s.sistant pa.s.ses, they were allowed to enter.

The lane was paved with blue stones and it looked like it had existed for years. The lane was about 30 meters long and it was less than 1.5 meters wide. Despite the houses on both sides not being tall, they had a height of at least eight meters. This was the reason why the lane was rather dark.

”It's such a small lane. Why did the victim come here at midnight? Was he looking for a place to pee?” Xia Hou mumbled.

”Didn't you read the information?” Lin Huang turned back and glanced at Xia Hou. Before he replied, Lin Huang continued, ”The black market is located less than 300 meters away. The victim was killed at a place like this probably because he just got out of the black market since it closes at midnight.”

”Why didn't he use his dimensional relic to leave?” Xia Hou immediately asked.

”So, you really didn't read through the information given… He was staying at a homestay which is very nearby. It's just a few minutes walk from the black market. There's no need to use a dimensional relic.”

Soon, they arrived at the crime scene while chatting with each other. The outline of the victim's dead body had been sketched by the Union Government staff with a white thread.

As it was covered by a relic, the thread was still there despite the rain and it was as clear as it had been half a month ago.

According to the outline of the thread, the person had fallen to the ground as soon as he died. His head that had been chopped off had flown a meter away.

On both sides of the wall and the ground, blood splattered over a terribly large area. As Lin Huang saw the crime scene, he could almost imagine the horrifying scene when the victim was killed – his head was chopped off in one blow and soon, blood started oozing out from the headless corpse.

”Killed in one hit. It's really a tragedy,” Xia Hou mumbled.
