Chapter 604: Chapter 605: Arrived a Step Late

Based on the soul consciousness that Ye Qiu absorbed from Zhang Wei, he learned that the mastermind, the old, dark, skinny man, and the middle-aged man, lived in that abandoned old building in the suburbs.

The real estate market in Jiangnan was very good now, and the prices were getting higher and higher. However, there were also some unfinished buildings left behind from before.

And the old man and the middle-aged man used to live in an unfinished building and the nearby grove.

When Ye Qiu arrived, he parked his car and felt that the building was dark, with no light at all.

Now Ye Qiu couldn’t wait for Zhao Ruxue to come over, so he took his phone and went to the unfinished building first. As soon as he arrived, he smelled a very bad deathly odor.

This was indeed the smell of death, similar to what was emanating from Zhang Wei.

Upon entering the first floor, Ye Qiu found it filled with debris. Going up to the second floor, he saw no one, and the third and fourth floors were empty too.

Entering a very dark room on the fifth floor, he saw a rocking chair moving slightly. Ye Qiu touched it and found it still warm.

Could they have just left?

Ye Qiu checked from top to bottom, and even went into the nearby grove, but he couldn’t find any trace of the two men.

He felt that he was still a step too late, and those two had already left.

Now Ye Qiu could only return to his Mercedes AMG and wait for Zhao Ruxue to arrive.

After receiving Ye Qiu’s call, Zhao Ruxue changed out of her pajamas, put on her regular clothes, and hurriedly drove to the location Ye Qiu mentioned.

However, she found that the closer she got, the more desolate the area seemed. There was no sign of light, nor the sound of any other cars.

This place was thirty or forty kilometers away from the Jiangbei district, which was considered quite rural.

Seeing a car with lights ahead, Zhao Ruxue drove closer and found it was Ye Qiu’s vehicle.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was sitting in his car, waiting for Zhao Ruxue.

"Ye Qiu, are you in the car?"

"Ruxue, I’m waiting for you."

Zhao Ruxue parked her car and got out. As she stepped down, she almost lost her balance and fell, but Ye Qiu caught her in time.

"Are you okay?"

"I just didn’t see the uneven ground."

This area was full of unfinished buildings. It was unclear why so many of these unfinished houses, which looked like luxury villas, were never completed.

"Where’s the culprit?"

Asked Zhao Ruxue.

"I was a step too late, they’ve already escaped."

When Ye Qiu checked earlier, he found the place abandoned, with only a few items left. But Zhao Ruxue couldn’t understand how Ye Qiu suddenly knew that the culprit of the mass poisoning case was here!

"Let’s go up and take a look."

As a member of the criminal police team, Zhao Ruxue was very courageous and had seen many dead bodies in her work, so she wasn’t afraid.

Now Zhao Ruxue walked ahead, with Ye Qiu following behind.

Zhao Ruxue held a flashlight and as soon as they entered the first floor, they smelled an extremely unpleasant odor, akin to mold, and also the smell of rotting animal carcasses.

When Zhao Ruxue entered a room, she saw several bodies that hadn’t yet decomposed completely, with maggots writhing on them.

It was midsummer now, and animal carcasses were quick to attract bugs. Human corpses were no different.

Zhao Ruxue had seen many corpses before, but this time, she felt an urge to vomit, quickly turning away and calling the police to send personnel over.

"Do you still want to look around?"

Asked Ye Qiu.

"What kind of person is this killer? So brazen to leave so many bodies here!"

"Maybe a body thief,"

Ye Qiu said.

Zhao Ruxue wanted to continue upstairs. On the second, third, and fourth floors, Zhao Ruxue felt an eerie wind blowing against her back.

"Ye Qiu!"

Zhao Ruxue called out.

"I’m here."

Zhao Ruxue felt relieved when she saw Ye Qiu beside her.

After searching around, they found nothing but those bodies and some items. It was clear that someone had lived here for a long time, very likely the culprit Ye Qiu mentioned?

But why did Ye Qiu say he was the culprit?

This puzzled Zhao Ruxue the most.

When Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue returned to his car and turned on the air conditioning, Zhao Ruxue finally felt the air was a bit better.

"How did you know they were the culprits?"

Ye Qiu couldn’t say that he absorbed Zhang Wei’s soul consciousness; even if he did, Zhao Ruxue wouldn’t believe it.

"I found out through other channels, but unfortunately, I was too late."

Ye Qiu said.

Looking into Ye Qiu’s eyes, Zhao Ruxue saw that his eyes were sincere. She knew Ye Qiu wouldn’t lie to her.

But soon, Zhao Ruxue remembered that Ye Qiu’s friends Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were in trouble.

"How are your two friends?"

"They’re fine now. And just at one or two in the morning, my girlfriend Liu Lingxiu almost had an accident too!"

"The same culprit again?"

"Yes, the same one from last night, a living dead man!"

Speaking of the living dead, Zhao Ruxue remembered it clearly because that time it was her sister Zhao Rubing who got hurt. Fortunately, someone saved her.

"So what’s going on now?"

Zhao Ruxue felt confused again.

"All I can say is that the mass poisoning case is closely related to this living dead man’s mastermind. If we had caught him, everything would have been clear. But now they’ve escaped, it will be difficult to find them again."

If that was the case, Zhao Ruxue felt it was terrible.

Without finding the mass poisoning case perpetrator, she would have to continue working at the city police bureau, and she couldn’t return to her previous division in Jiangbei.

"Then you should know what the culprit looks like, right?"

From the soul consciousness absorbed from Zhang Wei, Ye Qiu had a clear image of the old, dark, skinny man with empty eyes, and the short, fat middle-aged man.

But now, he didn’t want to say it.

"I don’t know."

"Then it’s no use."

If they knew what the culprits looked like, Zhao Ruxue felt they could catch them quickly using a police wanted notice. But now, since Ye Qiu didn’t know, and they had already fled, there was no way to capture them now.

Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue sat there for about half an hour before the police officers arrived and entered the building. They discovered those bodies that made them feel nauseated.

Upon taking the bodies back for investigation, they quickly found out these were all corpses that had gone missing from the hospital morgue.
