I Witnessed a Slaughter

A police car drove out of the Magic Capital Police Department and headed towards Weichang Street.

Weichang Street was the location where the first body was found. It was not a main road, and thus, not many vehicles frequented the area. On top of that, ever since the red-dressed bride incident took place, far fewer vehicles had frequented the area.

After parking the car by the side of the road, the officers then stepped out and headed towards the crime scene.

"Crime scene detected. Reconstruction now in progress!"

The familiar mechanical voice rang out within Qin Feng's mind as he approached the crime scene. In an instant, the space before Qin Feng started to warp continuously until it stopped at a pitch-black rainy day.

It was a stormy day with lighting flashing and thunder rumbling in the clouds. A heavy downpour gushed down from the sky like a broken string of beads. Just making contact with the raindrops had hurt slightly.

Within the pitch blackness of the night, the street lamps on both sides of the street had done little to alleviate the darkness due to the heavy rain.

Peering ahead, Qin Feng spotted a girl in a red wedding dress running forward desperately with heels in her hands. She constantly mistepped on the hem of her long dress, but she did not have the time to stop and tidy it up, She could only grab the hem of her dress with both hands and continue staggering forward. Whenever she fell, she would quickly pick herself back up and continue spurring forward.

Every once in a while, she would check behind her. Her face was pale, and her eyes, which were slightly red and swollen, were tinged with deep fear and helplessness.

Lightning flashed, and a black shadow suddenly appeared behind her.

It was a man in black sportswear. He wore a baseball cap and expressionlessly looked at the girl running in front of him. He tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand and walked forward step by step. He followed behind the girl at a steady pace. He watched as she ran, fell, and cried out. That was all he did, he watched. He watched and watched until she gradually lost her strength and all traces of hope.

The wounds on the girl's hands and feet had been washed away by the rain, leaving no traces of her blood. Before long, the girl could run no more, and at some point, she had fallen for the last time. She did not bother getting up, and instead, she looked at the man who was inching closer towards her, begging him, "I beg of you, please don't kill me! I don't want to die yet! I don't want to die yet! Don't kill me! Don't kill me, please!"

Unfortunately, her pleas had fallen onto deaf ears. The man walked to the girl's side, squatted down, and gently lifted the girl's feet, which were caked in blood due to running on the asphalt. Treating her as if she was a piece of treasure, he gently wiped the blood and soil on her feet. Despite all the girl's attempts in kicking the man away, the man had maintained an iron grip on her ankles, shattering all her hopes of escaping him.

The girl cried, begged, urged the man not to kill her, but the man did not utter a single word. After putting on the girl's heels again, he slowly stood up. A bolt of lightning flashed in the distance, and Qin Feng could have sworn that he saw the man laughing sinisterly as harrowing wails and screams drowned out the loud thunderclaps.

Qin Feng watched as the man and tightly embraced the girl who had now lost all traces of life. His body trembled, as if he was stifling his laughter. The man seemed to be greatly satisfied. He slowly laid the corpse on the ground and let the rain wash away all the blood stains. After tidying up the girl's wedding dress and shoes and ridding the scene of any potential evidence, he then vanished into the heavy rain.

The heavy rain continued to pour down, and slowly, but surely, it had erased most, if not all of the evidence at the scene. Before long, the pool of blood around the girl diluted, and the girl's face had become a deathly pale...

"Phew~"

Qin Feng closed his eyes. The scene that he had witnessed had impacted him more strongly than any of the previous scenes he had watched. He saw the victim's struggle with his own eyes, he felt and sympathized with the girl's helplessness, hopelessness, despair, and fear. He knew very well that his opponent this time was a psychopathic murderous demon. However, he could not see the man's face, only the cruelty he had displayed. It had left an inextinguishable mark in Qin Feng's heart.

Qin Feng's sigh did not go unnoticed by Yang Wei and Shen Qing. Both of them were clueless as to what had prompted the reaction.

Yang Wei cleared his throat and said, "This is the crime scene. Due to the heavy rain on the day of the incident, there's basically no evidence left of the crime.

Only then did Qin Feng remember that there were two others tagging along with him. With a cough, he then walked forward and pretended to inspect the scene. After a while, he stated, "Alright, let's head to the next crime scene."

Shen Qing nodded to Yang Wei, and they returned to the car.

Yang Wei glanced at Qin Feng, his gaze somewhat hesitant, and stated, "Qin Feng... We've already checked all the scenes. We've taken whatever evidence that we could find to the precinct. You should head to the evidence room if evidence is what you're looking for."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make sure to do that once we've returned. For now, let's head to the next crime scene."

Acknowledging Qin Feng's statement, Yang Wei chose not to comment anything more. He decided to go along with Qin Feng's instructions, as he might discover something that they had overlooked.

Soon, they arrived at the second crime scene. This time, the case had taken place in then Fengyuan District.

Similarly, the case also happened during heavy rain. Just like before, the murderer watched in cold-blood as the victim fled step by step, slowly losing strength along the way, only to be cruelly killed in the end.

This time, Qin Feng managed to see the murderer's face. He was a very refined looking individual who seemed to be in his early thirties. He gave people the impression that he was an amiable person. It was the type of face that one would casually nod and smile at while on the street. It was not the type of face that would give an impression of being a perverted serial killer!

His refined appearance was his best disguise and weapon.

Weichang Street and the Fengyuan District were more than 20 kilometers apart. Moreover, the two victims had no connection with either of the places. It seemed that there was no particular pattern of thinking or characteristics to the murderer's choice of location.

Until now, the only common characteristic that both victims shared was that they were women in their twenties, and the murderer would change them into a specific red wedding dress before setting them off.

Another characteristic that Qin Feng had observed was that the murderer would arrange and tidy up the clothes and shoes of the victims once they had died.

Of course, Qin Feng was the only one who could possibly notice this, as no one else had been on scene.
