Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Master San visits again to take Ruanruan home

Qin Ruan had probably read through the chat records and had a basic understanding of the detailed situation.

In the past month, there had been four or five murder cases in Capital City.

Based on the methods and timing of the murders, the culprit didn’t seem to be human - it was very likely the work of a spirit monster.

Qin Ruan’s fingertips pressed on the phone screen, a thoughtful look on her face.

Across from her, Qin Mei suddenly cursed, jolting her out of her thoughts.

She looked up to see Qin Mei sitting across from her, his eyebrows furrowed tightly and his face looking quite unhappy.

Feeling Qin Ruan’s gaze, he took a deep breath and began to explain.

"The news just reported that another murder case happened in the early morning at the edge of West City, what the hell is going on? It’s been several times this month!

There’ve been at least three murder cases, all of them happening at night, and the news only reported that the victims were brutally murdered, without revealing any specific details.

Now the online rumors have caused public panic, and there are even people stirring up trouble by spreading false information, creating a chaotic situation!"

Qin Ruan stood up and walked over to him: "Let me have a look."

Qin Mei handed her the phone.

[Shocking! Serial murderer strikes again, still at large!]

The top five trending topics all pointed to this case.

Beneath the headlines, there were photos from the crime scene, most of the gory images were pixelated.

Without pixelation, these images would never pass the review.

The dark red stains of blood on the road, however, were quite clearly shot, presumably for shock value.

The crime scene was a deserted road where a taxi had collided with a tree. The front of the car was completely wrecked, and the vehicle could be considered totaled.

Qin Ruan furrowed her eyebrows, a glint of confusion in her eyes.

Judging from the photos, the scene looked too clean to be the work of a spirit monster.

She scrolled down further and saw other photos. There was no trace of Evil Qi.

However, judging from the gore in the photos, the mode of operation was indeed very cruel.

If this was done by a person, then the killer must be extremely perverse.

Qin Ruan took out her phone and sent a message to the group.

Qin Ruan: [I’ve looked at the news, the scene doesn’t seem to be the work of any evil spirits, it’s too clean.]

Girl from Mount Mao: [Sister Ruan, you’re here!]

Hui Cheng of Nanyin Temple: [Indeed, some of our colleagues went to the scene, and it was very clean, without any trace of evil spirits. Neither does it seem to be human behavior based on the method of the crimes.

Each victim had their heart hollowed out, and even the souls couldn’t be found, these cases are very strange.]

The beautiful ancient maiden profile picture of Wei Xishi from Qingcheng popped up.

[Clean doesn’t necessarily mean it was done by a human, hollowed-out hearts do not necessarily indicate the work of an evil spirit.]

[I just went to find out more, and the method used to excavate the victims’ hearts was quite crude, making it almost impossible for a second transaction.]

The Taoist of Star Jade Path: [So, it can’t possibly be a black-market organ trade.]

Old Man Qiao from Mount Mao: [These cases climbed the hot search today, the online situation is getting out of control, if we don’t solve it soon, public panic will ensue.]

Hui Cheng of Nanyin Temple: [We haven’t received a request for help in investigating the case from the authorities yet.]

The Taoist of Star Jade Path: [Then let’s wait, if the case is not solved, they’ll seek us out sooner or later.]

Girl from Mount Mao: [Waiting.]

Wei Xishi from Qingcheng: [Waiting+1]

Qin Ruan: [...]

Qin Ruan sent a series of ellipses to the group.

These cases have already drawn social attention; things are becoming complicated.

Qin Ruan wasn’t particularly interested in cases that did not involve evil spirits.

Besides, she couldn’t exactly say whether the case was human-induced or the work of malicious spirits.

Anyway, she wouldn’t likely get involved for the time being.

Qin Ruan handed her phone back to Qin Mei and sat down next to him to continue checking out the trending topics.

Seven in the evening.

There was a visitor.
