Over the next two months, I hunted down several more prey, all quite tasty.
Recently there have been more police in Lin'an, I know they've noticed me, but I'm not worried because the foolish ones can't catch me.
Today is New Year's Eve, I'm planning to strike again. The pampered police must be going home for the new year, it's the perfect time for me to act.
I chose a small alley outside the vegetable market, not many people here, and even fewer in the afternoon.
Very smoothly, I came across a nice plump prey, haven't had such a hearty meal in a long time, I was delighted.
By the time I brought my prey home, I felt someone behind me. Sure enough, someone was there as I expected.
We fought, this person had no competitive spirit at all, just wanted to catch me. I hate this kind of opponent the most, so I lost.
When I woke up again, I realized the one who knocked me out was the Dark Night Judger.
I was a little surprised, felt I would probably die, not too scared, just surprised. This guy isn't in Xikang? How did he get to Lin'an?
I tried to break free from the restraints, no use. All I could do was hope I could keep talking.
Then try to get this Judger to spare me through conversation. Begging for mercy? I hadn't thought of that.
But after the Judger said those words to me, I knew I was done for.
At that moment, I was strangely not nervous anymore. Since I'm going to die anyway, then so be it. I'm not afraid of death at all.
I just looked at the Judger, I wanted to see what kind of beast he was.
The result shocked me. I felt he was the same kind as me. That kind of gaze, only we carnivores have.
At that moment, I suddenly felt my death would be quite meaningful. Perhaps it would give birth to an even more ferocious beast, that excited me.
I was waiting for this Judger to kill me and eat me up, it would be magnificent.
Just a pity I won't get to see the upcoming divine performance of Number 6 in Xikang.
On New Year's Day, at six in the morning, in the office of the Special Investigation Team, Wei Dongqing was on the phone. Shortly after, he hung up with a frown.
"Boss Wei, what's going on? I'm not even fully awake yet," said Li Yang with a yawn.
Before Wei Dongqing could reply, Zhao Xiaobao walked in also yawning, along with Wu Xin who had a calm look.
Forensic Doctor Qin wasn't notified. After all this matter didn't require him, and Qin was getting old, so they didn't want to disturb him.
After everyone sat down, Wei Dongqing said, "I just received a message from Lin'an an hour ago.
The Dark Night Judger has appeared in Lin'an, and live streamed his trial of the murderer in the Demon Case."
Upon hearing this, Li Yang's drowsiness was gone. He exclaimed, "The Demon Case from ten years ago?"
Zhao Xiaobao was also extremely shocked. Even the usually expressionless Wu Xin showed surprise.
"That's right, but the key issue isn't there. Based on our inference, the Judger's next target
should have been the Throat Slitting Case in Xikang six years ago. Why did he suddenly show up in Lin'an? Something we don't know must have happened," said Wei Dongqing.
Li Yang sighed, "What a shame. We worked days and nights for over a month, finally found the real murderer in the Slitting Case.
But instead of the surrendering Judger we were waiting for, we got the news of him going to Lin'an.
Boss Wei, should we continue the stakeout on the murderer in the Slitting Case?"
Wei Dongqing shook his head, "Have him arrested now. We probably won't get what we were waiting for. I feel the Judger's original plan was interrupted by something.
That's why he went to Lin'an. Whether he'll continue according to his previous logic, we can't judge now either. No need to keep the stakeout."
Wu Xin pushed up her glasses and said,
"Based on my psychological analysis of the Dark Night Judger, he is an extremely confident and rational person.
He would never change his own plans because of us. In fact, our presence may even excite him more.
So whatever made him change plans, it's definitely not the police. It should be something else, something that happened recently."
"Could it be that disciple organization? Li Weiyang claims to be Number 9," Zhao Xiaobao speculated randomly.
At this, Wei Dongqing, Li Yang, and Wu Xin all had the same reaction as their eyes lit up.
"Li Yang, look into it right away. See if the Demon Case murderer had any connection with that organization. If so, then we've got it," Wei Dongqing arranged.
"On it, I'll check right now."
"Zhao Xiaobao, you..."
After assigning tasks to the others, Wei Dongqing gazed out the window with a profound look, murmuring to himself, "Looks like it's time to switch battlefields again. You can't get away, Judger."
Wang Jian had quite an eventful year.
After calling the police, they arrived in about two hours and rescued him, of course also taking him to the station.
His parents had just returned home minutes ago before being called to the station as well.
At the station, Wang Jian "confessed" the whole incident according to the script he had made up.
Then late into the night he was taken home by his parents and got a good beating, while Wang Jian acted very innocent.
Ever since New Year's Eve, his reputation had thoroughly spread across the country. He was the only one who confronted the Judger face to face and lived to tell about it.
Of course, many people online doubted the posts he made, but they were the minority after all.
The doubters were almost all those who had watched the livestream. They saw very clearly how Wang Jian played dead on the floor, even wetting himself in fear. That didn't seem like a fearless person at all.
After staying in Lin'an for half a month, Fatty Wang finally returned to Xikang. He had wanted to go back sooner, but the local police wouldn't allow it until after the Demon Case was closed.
Not long after returning to Xikang, while online at home, he received a friend request from some software.
He normally wouldn't have paid attention, too many scammers. But seeing that name, it seemed very familiar.
He quickly took out a slip of paper, compared and immediately accepted the request. Soon the other party sent a message:
"Remember to keep it confidential. Switch platforms every week when we talk.
I won't look for you normally, don't look for me either. I will tell you directly if anything comes up. Don't mention anything related to my identity when talking.
That's it, wait for my message, don't reply to me."
