Chapter 124 – Bloodstained Butterfly Kno (2/2)
Along with a couple of clangs, in a bit of time, a delicious smell wafted from the kitchen, but Lin Xiao was still paralyzed on the sofa, muttering to himself.
“No, its still not confirmed that Shen DaiYing is the killer, she might have said those things on purpose? …Let’s just read some news.”
As if he wanted to take his mind off it, Lin Xiao picked up today’s newspaper. Today’s headline was… 「Mysterious Killer’s Serial Crimes, Great Sage Hobson Assassinated」
“What? S-someone died again?”
The killer’s MO was the same as the previous two, one cut to the neck and one to the heart, a clean and efficient assassination.
Was this also Shen DaiYing’s work?
The night before last, that was right when the competition finished, but her leg was injured that day, although Lin Xiao treated it, but it didn’t heal completely.
Assassinating someone while injured, wouldn’t that be too much?
Also, Great Sage Hobson was different from the previous two, not only did he have power within the Holy Light Church, but he himself was extremely strong. Even if he had no bodyguards, he could easily reverse the situation and take her life.
“Sister Ying shouldn’t be that strong, right… if she could kill Hobson, she wouldn’t have lost to me.”
Lin Xiao comforted himself, but perhaps his remaining reason was yelling at him, so he continued to read to gather more evidence.
“Through investigation, the killer left a strange bloodstained cloth at the scene of a crime, seemingly wounded…” Seeing tha line, Lin Xiao widened his eyes and nervously gulped.
Although that line may seem insignificant to other, but Lin Xiao didn’t think so.
As if they wanted to make the news more vivid, they even posted a picture of the scene of the crime, and that piece of cloth was in a unremarkable corner, virtually unnoticeable if one didn’t try to look for it.
He carefully stare at the fuzzy piece of cloth in the picture, and soon noticed an important point, it was as if he was truck by lightning.
“Why…”
At that time, Elena also finished cooking, as she was bringing out the food, she was shocked by Lin Xiao’s foolish appearance.
“Hey, you dead?”
She curiously walked over, and followed Lin Xiao’s line of sight to see the picture on the newspaper.
“Great Sage Hobson assassinated… the killer left a piece of bloodstained cloth?” Elena muttered as she read.
That piece of cloth looked weird, like it was wrapped on a wound but cut open by a sword, so the edges were completely strange. It probably fell off during the assassination, this type of cloth was also extremely common, nothing worthy of paying attention to.
What attracted Elena’s attention was that there was a beautiful bloodstained butterfly knot on that piece of cloth.
Butterfly knot?
If Elena remembers correctly, she saw that butterfly knot somewhere before.
The day before yesterday, when Lin Xiao was helping Shen DaiYing dress her wound, he used the same knot.
A butterfly knot that Lin Xiao personally tied, accidentally left at the scene of a crime.
That was undoubtedly a crucial piece of evidence.
“Shen DaiYing… she’s actually the killer.”
Lin Xiao quietly muttered.
