Chapter 517: Evidence (1/2)
Because the sedative didn't achieve the expected effect, the victim regained consciousness when he was shaving her. She got into a scuffle with Xiao Gang and ran to the balcony to call for help. Left with no better option, Xiao Gang pushed her down, cleaned up the scene and fled with Xiao Lie!
Two people were extremely frightened at the time. When the police found the body, they used their identities as screenwriter and director to enter the city bureau and inquire about the investigation when they happened to notice us.
Upon learning that we were experts from Nanjiang City, they were even more afraid, but Xiao Gang came up with a bold plan–using us to create alibis for them!
After sharing his idea with Xiao Lie, the two ‘bumped’ into us that night, then rushed off to kill the second victim, altered the time of death by tampering with the fuse, and dropped by for a chat.
In the process of killing the second victim, Xiao Gang had originally planned to put on a condom to rape her, but he was too nervous to get an erection, so Xiao Lie helped him.
Xiao Gang admitted he was the one who solely deceived and killed the victim—Xiao Lie merely helped.
”It was all me. I’ve confessed, so please let my cousin go now,” Xiao Gang spread his hand.
As I pondered his words, I noticed several obvious loopholes. ”Why come to Liangchuan now? Is it really just a coincidence? Besides, when you first killed, you were in such a panic but in less than ten hours, your second kill was done so professionally. How could that have been achieved without the help of external forces?” I sneered.
Xiao Gang shrugged, ”I don't know what you’re talking about!”
”A man in a mask helped you paint nail polish on the fuse. This brilliant idea wasn't yours, but his. It was also his idea to use us as your alibis. In return, you put this in our room for him.”
I pulled out the bug we found in our room.
As soon as he caught sight of the bug, Xiao Gang was all nerves. But he soon regained composure, smiling once more, ”I don't know you were talking about… Ahh!”
This time, I used the Eyes of Yama for only five seconds but Xiao Gang was already sweating like a pig. ”Won’t you come clean?” I demanded.
“I didn’t have any help,” he insisted.
I couldn’t help but wonder why he would admit to the murder charge, but not this. While observing his expression, I asked, ”He won't let you talk, will he? Did he threaten you?”
”No! I said no!”
Panicking, Xiao Gang fumbled, ”I don't know anything. Stop asking. I said stop!”
It appeared he was bent on keeping mum about the matter. Xiaotao and I exchanged a meaningful look. She gestured to the one-way mirror, indicating that the officers should escort Xiao Gang away first.
”The Blade Master must have secretly given him pointers, but he’s not allowed to speak about it,” I analyzed.
”Why?” asked Xiaotao.
”Perhaps in the Blade Master’s opinion, the view of the knife god, although these two women were relatives of the suspect, they weren’t worthy of a personal attempt, which would violate his creed of killing only the wicked. Thus, he instructed the two men to do it instead. The Blade Master probably noticed them after the first murder, so the second murder was done professionally.”
