I Have A Game Clone

155 A Case Within A Case (Part 1)

Ning Shi was at the competition venue. The stadium was not a place to chat, so he took the initiative to come to Donglin City’s Investigation Department.

He had been dealing with the Investigation Department for a long time, and he was also a consultant of the Special Affairs Bureau. However, this was the first time that Ning Shi had come to the office of the Investigation Department of Donglin City.

The headquarters of the Donglin City Investigation Department was located in a five-story building on Taining Street in Wucheng District.

This was an old district and the houses were relatively old.

The lime powder and green paint on the white and green outer walls had already started to fall off.

When Ning Shi arrived, Zhu Daniu had already been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.

The two of them greeted each other and went to Zhu Daniu’s office together.

After Wang Yunlin went to the border to atone for his crimes, Zhu Daniu took over his position as the captain and had a spacious and independent office.

Zhu Daniu invited Ning Shi to sit on the red wooden stool. After making a cup of tea, he locked the office door and said in a low voice.

“Consultant Ning, you asked me about Donglin City’s First Awakener School. I believe you have found something, right?”

Ning Shi didn’t like to beat around the bush and said directly, “That’s right. I feel that their school’s star player Yan Guangxun is a little abnormal. His fighting style has become cruel and bloodthirsty, so I’m looking for you to understand the situation.”

Zhu Daniu’s hair was in a mess, his eyes were red, and he had a smell on his body. One look and one could tell that he had been working hard for a few days and had not returned home to rest.

He sighed and said, “There are indeed some suspicious points in the evil spirit serial murder case.

“The first time the evil spirit killed someone, it followed a very regular pattern. It would kill a student in each of the 18 Awakener Schools in Donglin City.

“After you killed the first evil spirit, they lay low for two days and then killed people at the competition site.

“After killing people at the competition venue, the evil spirit began the second round of campus killing. Just like the first round, he killed one person per school.

“However, in Donglin City’s First Awakener School, a total of three people had died!

“In the second round of murder, the evil spirit had killed two people at the First Awakener School. Many people thought that it was a coincidence and that the evil spirit would not follow any rules.

“However, my intuition tells me that there’s definitely something wrong.”

“My team is responsible for the security and investigation of the First Awakener School. After we noticed the abnormality, the forensic doctor and I carefully identified the two students who were killed in the second round. We found a slight difference.” Zhu Daniu said.

“The size of the dismembered body parts of the deceased Wu Lili was not the same as the other corpses.

“The mark of the crossed scimitars on her head was also much shallower than the marks on the other bodies.

“From this, I deduced that in the evil spirit serial murder case, there was a copycat murderer!

“After the media released all the details of the case, someone used the incident of the evil spirit killing people and mixed it up. They also killed people and then disguised the bodies as evil spirits killing people.

“This is to escape the punishment of the law.”

Ning Shi nodded. In the past, after a serial murder case was overexposed by the media, there were also people who took advantage of the situation and imitated the means of a serial killer to carry out the evil act of killing.

“Since you’ve already discovered the problem, why haven’t you seen the Investigation Department start an investigation?” he asked.

Zhu Daniu did not answer. Instead, he went to the window at the door and took a look.

“Don’t worry,” said Ning Shi, who had an extremely strong perception. “No one is eavesdropping on our conversation.”

With Ning Shi’s assurance, Zhu Daniu was much more at ease. He lowered his voice and said, “I’ve investigated Wu Lili’s interpersonal relationships. She was kind and cheerful and had no personal grudges in school. According to her classmates, three days before she was killed, she had an argument with Yan Guangxun.

“Everyone in the class knows that Wu Lili is one of Yan Guangxun’s many girlfriends.”

Hearing this, Ning Shi frowned.

“According to your analysis, the case is clear. Yan Guangxun killed Wu Lili because of a relationship dispute, then disguised himself as an evil spirit to kill her. He could have just arrested her directly. How could he still appear at the competition venue, safe and sound?”

Zhu Daniu scratched his head in distress and said, “There are two reasons.

“First, all of this is just my speculation. There is no actual evidence to prove that Yan Guangxun killed someone.

“The officials gave me two days to investigate the evidence of Yan Guangxun’s murder. I thought it would be easy to deal with a student, but who knew that this guy would kill so flawlessly? I didn’t find any evidence.

“The higher-ups think that the evil spirit murder case has already caused a negative impact and want to close the case as soon as possible. They don’t want to cause any more trouble because of my speculations without evidence.

“The second reason was that Yan Guangxun was someone with a strong background. His uncle, Yan Zhensheng, is the president of the Overseas Yunmeng Union in the Yunmeng Kingdom. It was said that he was a top expert whose strength exceeded that of a Tier 9 awakener.

“Not only is he strong, but he also has a lot of influence. I did a little investigation on Yan Guangxun and received warnings from several leaders.”

Ning Shi instantly understood why Zhu Daniu, a mere Investigation Department Captain, could not find anything against Yan Guangxun. With such a background, Zhu Daniu could not use force.

A civilized investigation was not the Investigation Department’s strong point.

The Yunmeng Kingdom had been adopting a policy of unity and absorption towards the overseas Yunmeng nationals in recent years. On one hand, it was because of the country’s development, and many patriotic overseas Yunmeng nationals had contributed their strength. On the other hand, the overseas Yunmeng nationals were indeed a very powerful force.
