Chapter 393: Chapter 368: Meeting Yi Mu Again

Posthumous assault?

Li Chen was startled for a moment, then frowned at once. This killer was indeed a mixture of perverse and disgusting. If it were said that he assaulted the girls while they were alive, that might still fall within the range of normal human behavior, but to kill those girls and then commit sexual assault—that was monstrous.

Little Jie also looked worried, "These series of cases go back to about a month ago when we received a report of a girl who had disappeared after school. A few days later, when we found her, she was already dead."

"Her heart had been gouged out," Yu Yueying added after a silence, "According to the forensic examination, it was forcibly removed."

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown. This killer was definitely twisted; his mind must be distorted, as no normal person would do such things.

"The criminal’s methods are very sophisticated; we’ve been looking for a long time, but haven’t found a trace of a clue, and he specifically targets women in their twenties," Little Jie said.

Li Chen nodded, not expecting this series of murders to be so horrific.

"If I come across it, I’ll help you look into it," Li Chen said.

Yu Yueying nodded.

Just then, Li Chen’s phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up, he saw it was Lin Xiaoxiao calling.

What does this girl want now?

Li Chen was full of doubts, but it wouldn’t be right to hang up, so he answered.

"Brother-in-law, come over and play; the amusement park is so lively," Lin Xiaoxiao said excitedly, and through the phone, Li Chen could seemingly hear the exaggerated screams of people at the amusement park.

"You go ahead and have fun; I’ve still got work to do," Li Chen said.

"No, it’s just not the same without you here. Every other time you were with me; it doesn’t feel right without you," Lin Xiaoxiao said coyly.

Damn it, this girl is getting clingy.

Li Chen was speechless; he was busy, for Pete’s sake, at least needed some time to chase girls.

"Brother-in-law, come on over. I’ll introduce you to some young ladies, don’t worry, I won’t let my sister know," Lin Xiaoxiao said from the other end.

Introduce young ladies?

Li Chen chuckled to himself. If Xiaoxiao were really that generous, she wouldn’t be Xiaoxiao. The girl was cunning; she had likely planned some scheme.

If she got something on him, she’d surely monopolize his bed and dominate his attention, and would send him back to his room.

How could this happen again?

"Xiaoxiao, I better not go," Li Chen said. "Have a good time, and just tell me about it later tonight."

"Brother-in-law, are you really not coming?" Lin Xiaoxiao sounded upset, but suddenly, she screamed, "Ah!"

"What happened?" Li Chen was puzzled.

"I, I got hurt; I fell down, it hurts," Xiaoxiao said on the other end, her voice full of grievance.

"Alright, alright, I’m coming over," Li Chen eventually gave in.

"Great, that’s fantastic. I’ll wait for you at the entrance to Happy Amusement Park," Xiaoxiao perked up again and then hung up.

From her tone, Li Chen knew right away that Lin Xiaoxiao had tricked him; she definitely wasn’t hurt.

But, Li Chen was helpless.

"My sister," Li Chen said to Yu Yueying and Little Jie. "She’s got some issues; I need to leave first."

The two women nodded, and after Li Chen left, Little Jie leaned closer to Yu Yueying, "Sister Yu, you have to make a move, or else this guy will slip right from under your nose."

"You cheeky girl, what are you talking about?" Yu Yueying glared at her playfully.

"I mean, Sister Yu, you have to hold on to him, don’t let other women steal him away," Little Jie said with a giggle. "I know you like him; hey, don’t hit me, I’m serious, and you know it’s true."

The two women started frolicking in their seats, while Li Chen headed toward the Happy Amusement Park.

On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to her classmates and smiled, "Done!"

"Xiaoxiao, did you trick your brother-in-law into coming again?" Manman asked.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded proudly, "When I call him, how could he not come?"

The girls all laughed, resuming their playful teasing. Earlier, they were chatting when Manman had just mentioned an adventure at the arcade, recounting Li Chen’s heroic deeds, which piqued the other girls’ interest, leading them to spur Lin Xiaoxiao to trick Li Chen into coming.

As the girls were frolicking, suddenly, one of the girls’ eyes lit up: "It’s Yi Mu!"

The name Yi Mu was practically engraved in the hearts of all the students; he was simply too perfect. Videos of him had been uploaded to the school’s forum, and practically all the girls went crazy, practically drooling over their screens.

So when this girl shouted, everyone else’s gaze turned in that direction.

Looking over, they saw Yi Mu leading a group of boys their way.

"It really is Yi Mu!" one girl got excited.

Lin Xiaoxiao held up a bit better, but also instinctively wanted to display a more graceful feminine demeanor.

A perfect man is every woman’s dream, just as a perfect woman is desired by all men.

When faced with men or women who were more excellent than oneself, one must strive to pursue them.

Yi Mu came over, looked at a few girls, and smiled slightly, "What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here."

Lin Xiaoxiao was also somewhat shy, "Yeah, quite a coincidence."

"I and these guys also planned to come to the amusement park today," Yi Mu pointed to the boys beside him, "How about we all go together?"

Just as the girls were about to agree, they realized that Yi Mu was looking at Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Yeah, sure," Lin Xiaoxiao agreed straightforwardly.

The boys and girls greeted each other and then started chatting together.

The group moved forward, but Lin Xiaoxiao and Yi Mu walked together.

"About last time, I’m really sorry." Yi Mu smiled faintly, his face sincere, "I almost kicked you guys."

"It’s all right, it’s in the past now," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "If it weren’t for last time, by chance, we might not have met."

"Yes," Yi Mu laughed, "but it was too dangerous."

As the group walked forward, after the initial awkwardness, men and women began to get to know each other, and the atmosphere greatly improved.

"I’m so thirsty." Just then, a girl in the group spoke up, and Yi Mu thought for a moment, stopped, and told everyone, "Wait a moment, I’ll go get some water."

Yi Mu then went to a nearby store and came back with a bag of water.

"Wow, Mu Yi is buying us water."

"I feel so lucky."

"Such a gentleman." Some girls praised Yi Mu, but Yi Mu just smiled faintly and then handed out the bottled water.

"Here you go," Yi Mu handed a bottle of mineral water to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you," Lin Xiaoxiao said, then opened the cap and took a few sips.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao drinking the water, Yi Mu stood by with a smile on his face, his expression warm, but his eyes flickered slightly, especially after seeing Lin Xiaoxiao drink the water.

However, all this happened very quickly, and it was only Yi Mu’s glance, invisible to everyone else.

After drinking the water, the group continued moving forward.

"Let’s go to the Ghost Maze first," one girl excitedly said, she always liked watching horror movies.

This suggestion quickly gained everyone’s support, but Lin Xiaoxiao thought about Li Chen, who had said to meet at the entrance of the amusement park. What if Li Chen arrived while they were gone?

"You guys go ahead, I need to wait for someone," Lin Xiaoxiao said apologetically.

This put several people in a dilemma, but seeing this, Yi Mu smiled faintly, "How about this, I’ll wait with Xiaoxiao, and you guys go to the Haunted House first."

Seeing Yi Mu being so chivalrous, the other boys and girls were very impressed. After all, how could anyone not admire such an outstanding person?

However, at that moment, a voice rang out from behind.

"Xiaoxiao, wasn’t it agreed we’d meet at the entrance?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was delighted, turned around, and saw Li Chen hurrying over.

Li Chen saw Lin Xiaoxiao surrounded by a group of people, but when he saw Yi Mu, he paused for a moment.

Was he here too?

In just a moment, Li Chen’s mind was flooded with myriad thoughts, but his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Brother-in-law, why did you take so long?" Lin Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Li Chen over, then introduced him to everyone, "This is my brother-in-law, Li Chen. Do you guys mind if one more person joins?"

"Not at all, the more the merrier," one boy said, and the others echoed this sentiment.

"We meet again." Yi Mu extended his hand, smiling, "My name is Yi Mu, sorry about last time."

Li Chen shook hands, smiling, "No problem."

After everyone got together, they immediately went to the Haunted House.

Inside the Haunted House, everyone moved slowly in the cars, and the artificial ghosts around them suddenly appeared, giving everyone a fright.

Laughter and screams alternated, but everyone was excited.

Li Chen sat in the back, Lin Xiaoxiao next to him, and Mu Yi in front.

Throughout the journey, Li Chen was quietly observing Mu Yi, but Mu Yi seemed too normal, and Li Chen couldn’t see anything wrong.

However, every time he faced Mu Yi, he felt uncomfortable inside and even had a vague sense of guard. He always felt that there was something hidden beneath Mu Yi’s surface.

It was well concealed, but precisely because of this, Li Chen was very wary. He trusted his instincts, especially since he vaguely felt that he had seen Mu Yi somewhere before, as if Mu Yi’s face was familiar from a previous encounter.

Could someone look similar to him?

Li Chen pondered in his mind.

After coming out of the Haunted House, Lin Xiaoxiao suggested going on the merry-go-round, and everyone agreed. After all, they could play anything in the amusement park, especially with so many beautiful girls around.
