Chapter 23

#Yuanyang City shocked by a rainy night killer#

#Eleven people killed in half a month#

#The youngest victim was not yet eighteen, his parents were only children, they cried overnight and knelt down to beg the police to punish the murderer#

#A family of three lost their pillar overnight, the widow and orphan had no source of income and could hardly survive#

#Beware of the rainy night! The devil is in action!#

……

After a night of heavy rain, the air was extremely fresh.

It was a rare sunny day.

Bai Yi was awakened by the sunlight coming in from the window. He lay on the bed without moving, looking at the ceiling for half a minute, then he recovered from the “power outage” state and sat up straight.

A series of message notifications immediately filled the screen.

Several major news clients were full of shocking headlines.

This was almost the norm during this period.

In the past half month, the reports on the murder case have been escalating, from #A man was killed at home late at night, the police are investigating#, to #A minor boy was tragically killed in a bar, who is to blame#, to #The serial killer is committing crimes crazily, the list of victims adds one more#, the reports on the rainy night serial murder case were becoming more and more numerous, and the news content was becoming more and more serious.

As the police were unable to solve the case for a long time, the murderer became more and more crazy in committing crimes. The impact of this serial murder case was no longer limited to Yuanyang City, but began to spread outwards.

Until now, various reports on the #Yuanyang City Rainy Night Murder Case# have completely occupied the homepages of major news clients, even stealing the heat from the entertainment circle stars. The mysterious rainy night killer had become a top streamer in such a peculiar way, “fire” all over the network.

As the puppeteer behind all this, Bai Yi just glanced at it and put the phone aside. His sleepy expression didn’t change at all, just like seeing the news that the price of pork had risen again.

“It seems that the Legend Degree is going to rise again~”

A happy thought flashed by, he lazily yawned, rubbing his teary eyes to wash up.

At this moment, there was a heated discussion on the internet.

[It’s crazy, this murderer is killing like crazy!]

[I see the victims are old people, minors, men, women, high achievers, unemployed vagrants, the murderer really carries out the attitude of treating all people equally, regardless of age. Is this the so-called equality of all beings?]

[God damn equality of all beings! The psychological quality of the person above is really strong, now still in the mood to joke, the more the murderer kills like this, the more dangerous we all are, you this fool didn’t think that you might also become one of the equal beings? To be honest, I’m panicking right now.]

[It’s over, it’s over. I’ve been afraid to go out on rainy days during this period, and I’m also afraid to order takeout and have the delivery guy come to my door. I don’t know how to cook, and I’ve been hungry several times. Now it’s a sunny day and I just want to go out and treat myself, but I start to have a stomachache. It’s over, it’s over. If I can’t cook, do I deserve to live?]

[The experience of the person above fully illustrates how important it is to master a skill in order to stand in this society!]

[I’ve already taken a night train to leave Yuanyang City, wish you all good luck~]

[People from other places can only wish everyone in Yuanyang City good luck.]

Everyone was discussing.

If everyone could still have a melon-eating mentality at the beginning of a few days, then as time went by, as the case increased, the comments that were relaxed and joking a few days ago had already been suppressed, and what was left was only deep anxiety, worry, and fear.

[To be honest, this serial murder case is really too scary. I found out for the first time that Yuanyang City is so dangerous. The murderer is really crazy, inexplicably attacking innocent ordinary people, what kind of antisocial is this?]

[I hope the police can solve the case as soon as possible and catch this perverted murderer. @Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau]

[+1! Our whole family is scared. Even my little sister who is in kindergarten has temporarily taken leave and returned home. We have also stored enough rice and grain, preparing to stay at home honestly before the case is solved. If you don’t know, you would think that the end of the world has come, and there are zombies walking around outside now.]

[Have you seen the video collection of interviews with the victims’ families on the Internet? It’s too miserable, really too miserable! Especially that couple who lost their son and cried at the door of the police station… They just killed their only son, who was still a minor. The murderer is really inhuman!]

[He killed so many people, even the death penalty is not enough to relieve the hatred!]

Just flip through the various news clients, similar arguments are endless. This feeling of having a murderer lurking around and appearing at any time made many people almost sleepless at night.

The internet had become the best channel for everyone to vent their emotions.

And just at this time, a news media [Observer] that always liked to take a different path suddenly released a video, with the text #Unveiling the secrets behind the rainy night serial murder case, taking you to deeply explore the murderer’s motive#.

As a news media that was very good at tracking hot spots, [Observer] often found blind spots that others didn’t notice in a different way, and then used them as gimmicks to attract attention. But most of the time, the news it publishes was related to the entertainment circle. Who made the stars in the entertainment circle have high attention, and any controversial news could attract traffic?

This time, it actually got involved in social news?

Netizens only thought it was a hot topic, but thinking that the Observer always found some explosive points that others didn’t notice, they still clicked on the news curiously.

As a result, as soon as the video was clicked, everyone was really shocked.

The first thing that appeared was a beautiful young woman. She was waving her arms angrily in front of the camera, and her whole person looked very excited. “Zhou xx? This disgusting guy deserves to die! Do you think I will sympathize with him? I have never seen such a cheap person!”

The subtitles on the side were timely: [Miss Liu, the tenant downstairs of the victim Zhou, Zhou is her landlord.]

And the woman in the camera had already cursed a series of muted words angrily. “Do you know? I found a total of eighteen miniature cameras in the house I rented, five in the bathroom, five in the bedroom, and eight in the living room and other places. With these cameras, this guy can voyeur me 24 hours a day without any dead ends!” When she said this, she showed an extremely disgusting expression on her face, “I always knew that the cheap man had some ideas about me, always squinting, if it wasn’t for him being the landlord, I would have been unbearable, I didn’t expect him to be so wretched and low!”

Seeing the woman in the video start to curse wildly again, the host’s voice sounded in time. “When we interviewed the people around the victim Zhou, the tenant Miss Liu was very emotional and has decided to find another place to live.”

“…It is reported that on the day of the crime, the police found a computer running in Zhou’s room and found a large number of indecent photos and videos on the computer, all of which came from female tenants who had once rented a house from Wang. The eleven female tenants involved have been successively notified by the police station to summon. After learning about this, they all expressed great anger and requested the police to destroy all indecent videos and photos.”

Accompanied by the host’s voice, more girls’ voices appeared in the camera, most people did not show their faces, but just listening to the voice can feel their shock and anger.

[Ah this…]

[WC! As long as I think about the fact that there are cameras everywhere in my house, and someone is staring at me at the other end no matter what I do, I get goosebumps. Especially when I think about the other end being a disgusting greasy wolf… Hiss! My scalp is exploding! The lady is really unlucky, she actually encountered such a disgusting pervert… I suddenly don’t sympathize with this guy at all. When I think about him peeping in the dark, being found by the perverted killer, I inexplicably feel very happy, what’s going on?]

[This pervert is particularly disgusting, even if he is caught, he will not be severely punished, but he can always disgust you, maybe he will become more and more courageous in the future, the murderer is doing justice, eliminating hidden dangers in advance!]

Some girls who were too deeply involved had already started to explode. But there were also more people who felt…

[…Although this is the case, it’s not a capital crime, right?]

[I also think that killing is too much, these things are not enough to directly cost a life, right? To pay with a life like this, the price is too high.]

[Bah! The life of a scum is just so worthless!]

Just as the comments were about to start arguing, there were also other people expressing their confusion. [What’s there to argue about? The one who was killed is a scum, it doesn’t mean that the murderer is acting for the heavens, it just happens that there is a morally corrupt guy among the victims.]

However, similar remarks were soon slapped in the face by the subsequent video. From the video, it could be seen that [Observer] indeed made full preparations, they interviewed every person who knew each victim, including relatives, neighbors, classmates, and other people who had contact with them.

One face after another that had been mosaicked appeared in front of the camera.

–“Zhang Yao was killed? What can I think? Of course, it’s good that he was killed! He deserved it! Do you want me, who was forced by him to drink urine, to sympathize with his death? Hahaha, I’m more than happy!”

–“That’s a bully, no one in our school wasn’t afraid of him. He almost stabbed a classmate to death, later I heard that he went to a juvenile detention center. I didn’t expect that he was just released and was stabbed to death by someone. This is retribution.”

–“Yes, at that time he stabbed me thirty-four times, I was rescued in the hospital for several days before I survived, but one leg was lame. Want to ask my thoughts? I want to express my gratitude to the unknown murderer, he saved more people in advance… Yes, my meaning is, that guy won’t repent, he will only continue to do evil. I heard that his parents’ hair has turned white? Oh, they deserve it. When their son almost stabbed me to death, they didn’t react like this.”

…..

–“Xiao xx? I regret her death. But I’m not familiar with her, she used to spread rumors about another girl in school many times, forcing the girl to almost commit suicide, after the incident was exposed, everyone alienated her. I really didn’t expect that she would be killed, I hope she goes all the way.”

……

–“Yes, yes, yes, I know about Xiao Wang’s situation, who doesn’t know about the commotion when the police car pulled up downstairs yesterday? No, no, no, I didn’t hear the commotion, and I didn’t see the murderer. Because that night Xiao Wang was beating his wife and children again, his house was making a fuss. Everyone thought it was the same as usual, who could guess that the murderer actually went to his house! Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Wang beats people at home every day, who in our building doesn’t know, there were two times when he almost beat someone to death, the police have come many times!”

…..

As the carefully edited videos played one after another, everyone became active again after a moment of silence.

[I never expected, it’s actually like this???]

[A voyeuristic pervert, a juvenile offender who stabbed someone thirty-four times, a girl who maliciously spread rumors and slandered others, a domestic violence scum who beat his wife and children… A total of eleven people, there isn’t even one slightly innocent one?]

[Are these kinds of people worth sympathizing with?]

[Think about the news before, what about a family of three losing their pillar, what about the parents of an underage only child being killed overnight, is this editor writing news with his feet? Especially that juvenile offender, he has done all the bad things, if I gave birth to such a troublesome son, I would have been ashamed and hanged him and then hanged myself, still crying there?]

The level of video editing in these segments was too high, everyone watched all the way down, their hearts were jumping out of fire, their emotions were gradually rising, they just felt that they were not good things at all.

But after calming down, many people also put forward different opinions, the ones that were topped to the top were these few.

[The victims are not guilty of death, although the murderer chose to kill, it is too cruel, but it can be understood, probably a person who pursues justice too much and goes the wrong way. All I can say is, I hope the murderer can stop in time and choose to surrender.]

[The juvenile offender has already gone through the education of the juvenile detention center, why doesn’t he have the chance to start over? Although the domestic violence man is hateful, can his wife and children accept that he was killed by someone? As for voyeurism, spreading rumors, these kinds of behaviors, it can only be said that the victims are not decent, they should be educated by the police, not directly deprived of their lives. Except for the legal authorities, no individual has the right to privately execute and deprive others of their lives! We can’t demand perfect victims. In any case, the victims themselves have problems, it is not the reason for the murderer to kill them. The murderer is seriously trampling on our social order and laws and regulations, he is simply crazy and inhuman! He must be caught as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more victims!]

[God damn it, we can’t demand perfect victims. This is not just imperfect, it’s clearly a pile of mud. These scum and losers, death is not a pity! Anyway, I support it twelve points!]

The most popular comments obviously represent the three attitudes of the people.

Regardless, when everyone had confirmed that the murderer was not killing indiscriminately, but had a certain selection range, the previous atmosphere of panic dissipated.

The unknown was the most terrifying. When they discovered that this murderer seemed to be executing “justice”, those ordinary people who hadn’t done anything wrong were no longer worried.

For a time, the discussion about this mysterious serial killer gradually shifted from its original direction.

Everyone began to discuss whether his actions were right or wrong. Some strongly opposed, some thought it was too radical, but there were also a portion of people who showed strong support and admiration for him.

While the internet was buzzing with heated discussions, the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau had been busy all night, finally catching a breather.

As everyone was taking a break, drinking water, and eating to replenish their energy, someone on their phone came across related news and also saw the debates among netizens.

“What justice or injustice? Talking about justice while taking the law into one’s own hands?” After a dumbfounded laugh, this person shared it with other colleagues and frowned, “But, is it really okay for us to let ‘The Observer’ spread these kinds of videos? Won’t this mislead the public to side with the murderer on public opinion?”

Li Fufeng walked in from outside and also saw the video. He saw through the mystery at a glance and couldn’t help but shake his head.

“There’s no way around it. This case has already caused panic throughout the city. The most important thing now is to stabilize the public.”

“Even though releasing this content might give the murderer some support in public opinion, I don’t agree that the murderer’s actions are just. But if the public thinks the murderer is just and will only target the scum, this will undoubtedly give them a great psychological comfort.”

He put the dossier that was tucked under his arm on the table. “In short, the best way to quell all this turmoil is to catch the murderer as soon as possible.”

Because he was on patrol outside last night, he didn’t have time to rush back to participate in the latest case progress. He had to flip through the dossier he had just fetched while asking.

“I heard that a victim’s family member had seen the murderer’s face and even had a meal with the murderer. Are the testimonies here?”

As he spoke, Li Fufeng’s gaze fell on the text record in front of him.

Then, he suddenly froze.

“Medium build, golden semi-long hair, wearing a black trench coat, the murder weapon is a black umbrella…”

“…This description, seems familiar?”
