Liu Wen was taken aback, and due to her professional instincts, she quickly noticed the issue Su He mentioned and asked in return, "How do you know that the girlfriend of the deceased is the murderer?"
Su He looked up and saw Liu Wen's alert expression, couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it obvious? He killed his girlfriend, and then, out of guilt, ordered her favorite dish, braised chicken. If she wasn't his girlfriend, she would have been his wife. Why else would he do such a thing?"
Liu Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Su He's analysis was correct; the murderer was indeed the boyfriend of the victim.
"Liu Officer, you haven't answered my question yet," Su He said, having finished his meal. Liu Wen noticed the empty table, with no trace of food left.
"At the moment, the police only know the cause of death of the victim and have identified the suspect. It's true that the victim and the suspect were in a romantic relationship. As for the motive for the murder, it is still uncertain. The police are currently conducting a thorough investigation," Liu Wen replied.
After Liu Wen finished speaking, Su He suddenly remarked, "Then you better hurry. It's possible that the murderer has already committed suicide."
Liu Wen was taken aback, her expression instantly turning serious as she stared at Su He. "Why would you say that? How many more clues haven't you revealed?"
It's worth mentioning that Su He had a criminal record. In the previous case involving the murder of a female anchor, Su He had requested to participate in the investigation and provide clues. Liu Wen didn't expect Su He to pull the same stunt again.
"I've told you everything I know. I haven't left out a single detail. But this is just simple logic. The murderer rewarded me with the last 200 yuan. He definitely doesn't want to live anymore. Besides, murder is a serious crime, a capital offense. He's broke now, so where could he run? Personally, I think he has a strong tendency to commit suicide. You don't know, the way he sounded on the phone was so agitated. The more I think about it, the more something feels off... And think about it, since he voluntarily exposed himself, it supports my point. Of course, there's another possibility: he's extremely arrogant and thinks he can escape the police's pursuit..."
Liu Wen listened in astonishment to Su He's analysis and asked in surprise, "Su He, where did you learn all this?"
"Don't they depict it like this in TV dramas?" Su He confidently retorted.
"Alright, you win," Liu Wen said, taking out her phone to call Wen Jie.
"Wen Team, Su He analyzed that the murderer has a tendency to commit suicide."
"Su He? Alright, understood. We've also reached the same conclusion based on the current evidence available. However, the hiding place of the perpetrator seems extremely concealed, making it very difficult to quickly locate the target. Does Su He have any other leads?" Wen Jie was aware of Su He's criminal record. If he had concealed any important clues again and suddenly emerged to claim credit and rewards, this time, he would truly be charged with intentional withholding of information.
Liu Wen glanced at Su He and replied, "No, he's been cooperative. He shouldn't be playing any clever tricks again."
Su He looked at Liu Wen exposing his secrets in front of him, feeling embarrassed. "The doctor said that a mild concussion can potentially lead to 'retrograde amnesia.' You should trust the doctor's words."
Liu Wen glanced at the time and said, "Alright, if you remember anything, there are police officers outside. You can also call me or the investigative team. The longer the killer stays out there, the more of a threat they pose to the public. Police investigations can't solely rely on speculation and analysis. Suicide is just one possibility; they might also seek revenge on society and continue their killing spree. So, we need to find him as soon as possible!"
"By the way, the police have already issued a wanted notice with a reward. Anyone who provides clues leading to the capture of the suspect or directly captures the suspect will receive a reward of 200,000 yuan." Liu Wen said as she walked towards the door and then left.
"Am I that kind of person?" Su He felt somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Wen's tone. She was calling him a friend just a moment ago, but now she seemed to treat him as if he would provide clues for the 200,000 yuan reward.
Suddenly, three choices appeared before him.
[Option One: Provide clues to assist the police in capturing the suspect. Reward upon completion: 100,000 yuan in cash.]
[Option Two: Capture the suspect directly and hand them over to the police. Reward upon completion: 200,000 yuan in cash.]
[Option Three: Do nothing and take a nap. Reward upon completion: a brand-new pillow.]
The idea of receiving a pillow as a reward for falling asleep was so absurd that Su He suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore. Regardless of whether he chose option one or option two, it wouldn't conflict with the police's reward. If he could obtain 400,000 yuan, plus the 50,000 yuan for being a Good Samaritan, Uncle Shen wouldn't have to sell his house.
Su He carefully thought it over again but couldn't recall any overlooked information that could be related to the killer's whereabouts.
He picked up his phone and first checked the wanted notice issued by the Jinnan Public Security Bureau.
Zhao Xin: Male, 23 years old, a senior at Jinan Foreign Languages Institute. There was a lot more information below, including a photo of him. The guy in the picture appeared cheerful and sunny, making it hard to believe he could be the person who killed his girlfriend.
The information about the female victim wasn't disclosed, but Su He quickly found it on the Jinan Foreign Languages Institute's forum.
Tian Xiaojuan: Female, 23 years old, also a senior at Jinan Foreign Languages Institute.
Someone had posted a photo of Tian Xiaojuan, and Su He was instantly horrified, remembering the scene in the parking lot.
He put his phone down and took a deep breath, taking a while to calm himself. Su He continued browsing the forum.
Zhao Xin was in the Department of Foreign Trade and Japanese, and his family background seemed decent. He had been driving an Audi to school since his junior year. He was an exemplary student at the school, serving as the Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Youth League and an outstanding cadre at the institute.
Tian Xiaojuan, on the other hand, was majoring in English and also came from a good family. She excelled in her studies.
They were a couple that could be described as a perfect match, with him being talented and her being beautiful. However, there were also quite a few negative rumors on the internet. Some said Tian Xiaojuan was extravagant, spending a lot of money on branded clothes and handbags. There were even people claiming that she had an affair, which led to Zhao Xin killing her. Others said that Zhao Xin was a proud man who would rather die than lose face. Despite not having any money, he pretended to be wealthy, accumulating a lot of debt and even mortgaging his car only to lease it back.
After reading for over an hour, Su He's eyes grew weary, and he couldn't determine whether these rumors were true or false. However, one thing he could confirm was that these rumors had nothing to do with Zhao Xin's whereabouts.
Lying in his sickbed and staring at the ceiling, Su He felt discouraged. Even the police hadn't found out where Zhao Xin was hiding. With only bits and pieces of information, he was at a loss on how to proceed.
If only the system could reward him with a criminal suspect tracker, that would be great!
Lost in his thoughts, Su He drifted back to sleep.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
