Chapter 447: Consecutive Murders

The noise in the hall was too chaotic, making it difficult for Chen Yu to settle his mind and think.

When he was in Suzhou City, he had dealt with a similar case.

At that time, there were very obvious clues, and the real culprit was quickly found, but this case before him was elusive.

Besides the mass of crystal fragments at the scene, there were only some ethereal legends, making it impossible to seek the truth from an objective perspective.

Chen Yu swirled his wine glass, one hand propping up his chin, his face full of melancholy.

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly exploded, drawing everyone’s attention.

In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man lay at some unknown point, surrounded by a large number of crystal fragments as well.

The man’s figure was slightly frail, and his manner of death was almost identical to Luckne’s, very peaceful.

“My God, what happened? This man was standing here just fine a moment ago, how could he have suddenly died?”

“I think I saw a shadow flash by, and then this man fell to the ground, next to him a large chunk of the Crystal Ball shattered.”

“Heavens, the curse of the Crystal Ball has come true, everybody run!”

…

The scene immediately descended into chaos, and half the people in the hall ran out, some even rushing straight to the deck, demanding the crew to lower the lifeboats to escape.

But now they were in the vast sea, far from port, and letting people off at this time was no different than murder.

The crew had no choice but to try to persuade them earnestly, but to no avail, as more and more people demanded to disembark, and conflicts even arose.

Chen Yu, on the contrary, remained calm, swaying his wine glass as he walked over to the deceased.

He didn’t believe in any curse; if those so-called curses really came true, not a single tomb raider from ancient times to the present day could have died a good death.

Yet many archaeologists are still alive and well.

He reached out and touched the dead man’s cheek, feeling the residual warmth of his body.

He was almost certain the man had died within the last ten minutes, only to be deliberately moved here to create the false appearance of a sudden death.

That is to say, the murderer was mingling in the crowd just now, causing chaos deliberately, then shedding suspicion.

Chen Yu immediately used his system to cover the entire hall.

The people gathered here hadn’t run far, so it should have been easy to find the culprit.

But unexpectedly, after the system scanned the brain information of everyone present, it failed to find any trace of a clue.

The power of the system was beyond doubt; it was impossible for there to be an oversight, unless the killer wasn’t here.

The head of security had rushed over in a hurry and squatted beside Chen Yu.

“Mr. Chen, how is it? Have you found any clues?”

Chen Yu shook his head, now also somewhat puzzled, not knowing where to start his investigation.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly noticed what seemed like a white cloth in the pocket of the dead man’s clothing.

He immediately asked the security chief for a pair of white gloves and took out the white cloth.

The cloth was quite ordinary, with nothing on it, except it seemed a bit damp.

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the system to scan the chemical composition on the white cloth.
