Chapter 66: Going out to hide

  "Bang bang bang~"

  The sky had finally brightened up, accompanied by a knock on the door. Guo Zhengyang, who was sleeping soundly in bed, suddenly opened his eyes. After grabbing his phone to check the time, he smiled lightly - it was past 7 o'clock. He had slept for more than three hours, which was quite long enough.

  After sleeping for more than three hours, abundant energy returned to his body, and Guo Zhengyang quickly got out of bed and walked towards the door.

  He was sleeping in his clothes when he came back last night.

  "Haha, you're still a sleepyhead!" As the hotel room door opened, Guo Lingling, looking refreshed and smiling, also looked over at Guo Zhengyang, with several of her female classmates standing behind her.

  "Hey handsome boy, good morning."

  "Haha, you worked hard last night."

  …………

  Several big sisters rushed to greet Guo Zhengyang, and Guo Zhengyang smiled back. Then Guo Lingling called out to him to go downstairs together for breakfast, after which they would attend the wedding ceremony.

  Guo Zhengyang agreed readily and after washing his face, he headed downstairs with his elder sister and others.

  Just as they were walking into the hall, Guo Lingling and others suddenly gasped in shock, staring forward in astonishment.

  At this moment, near the hotel bar, two police officers in uniform were interrogating something, and there was also a police car outside. In addition to these, they could even see that many people nearby looked flustered, making the atmosphere in the entire hall somewhat oppressive.

  "What's going on? So many police so early in the morning?"

  A few people were still in shock when the police near the bar also saw several people coming down, and soon one of them came over to ask questions, asking about their identities, where they were from, etc., and also asked if they had heard any unusual noises last night.

  Needless to say, Guo Lingling and others who got drunk after returning yesterday were all bewildered.

  The police officer who asked the questions was also unprofessional, casually asking a few questions before turning around and leaving, as if he was just going through the motions. A few minutes later, the two figures left the hotel.

  As soon as the police left, the hall suddenly became chaotic. The figures that were originally in the rest area or on their way to the cafeteria, who had been suppressing themselves, suddenly burst out talking loudly.

  "What's going on? Why are there police at the door so early?"

  "You don't know? Someone died! There was a murder case around here last night!"

  "Isn't it? A murder case?"

  "Hey, it's not an ordinary homicide case, I heard eight or nine people died!"

  "Pffft, are you kidding me? Eight or nine people died? Nonsense. If that many people had died, the police would have asked more questions and wouldn't have just let them go. They should have gone upstairs to investigate room by room a long time ago."

  "You don't know that these police officers don't dare to investigate, because the murderer is too terrifying. In fact, the municipal bureau already knows who did it, but from top to bottom, there are only a few people who dare to really pursue it."

  "My god, are you awake or not? So many people have died, and yet they don't dare investigate the murderer?"

  "Whatever, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Damn it, that killer is also in Mingchuan, just around here. Shit, I'd better get out of here first and go to the provincial city to lay low."

  …………

  In the midst of the crowd, someone first asked a question, and then someone seemed to know something, mysteriously saying a few words, which attracted the attention of many people. At the same time, some people doubted with distrust, but that person casually said a few words, wrapped up his clothes, looked around nervously, and slipped out of the hotel in a hurry.

  The seemingly informed person fled, leaving the rest looking at each other in dismay, speechless.

  Was what that person said true? Did a murder case really happen last night and so many people died? The police came to the door early this morning, it seems that something big has happened, but if so many people have really died, why are the police investigating so perfunctorily? Is it really like someone said before, even if the police know who the murderer is, they don't dare to investigate seriously?

  Killer maniac, scared the police not dare to investigate? Then that person mentioned earlier, vaguely said a few words and turned around to escape? Listening to the tone is still trying to escape from Mingchuan City?

  A strange scene, also made several women on either side of Guo Zhengyang suddenly pale with fright, all looking around in terror, their eyes filled with confusion, what was going on? Also in doubt, a person suddenly appeared at the hotel entrance, seeing that person, Guo Lingling and others were overjoyed, but soon the crowd was stunned again.

  It was Jiang Weijie who had just entered the hotel, but at this moment, Jiang Weijie was walking with some trepidation and panic, his face and eyes filled with an irrepressible sense of terror.

  "Are you guys up? Let's go, we're going to the city today. The wedding banquet has been changed to the city center and I'm here to pick you up." Jiang Weijie also noticed a few people in his nervous and flustered state and immediately walked over.

  "Have you moved to the city center? What's wrong?"

  "Didn't it really happen last night that someone was murdered?"

  ……

  Jiang Weijie's words made Guo Lingling and others stunned again.

  "You know? There's a murder case. I heard it was around 2 o'clock last night, seven people died." Jiang Weijie was also shocked and then spoke in a low voice.

  One sentence scared several women to scream, but in the midst of screaming, Guo Lingling also widened her eyes and opened her mouth, "Really so many people died? But those police who came to investigate earlier were very perfunctory, just asking a few questions and leaving."

  "They wouldn't dare to investigate, you don't know how ruthless they are. That murderer, I'd bet my life on it, even if the municipal bureau people knew where he is now, it's not certain that anyone would dare to catch him." Jiang Weijie sneered, but immediately continued, "Let's go first, we'll talk on the way."

  The mysterious and tense expression, out of nowhere, added a few more terrifying atmospheres to the scene, scaring several girls who wanted to scream again, but they all started with pale faces, their expressions and movements becoming flustered.

  After getting on the car, one of them finally couldn't help but speak up, "Jiang Weijie, who is that person? So scary! So many people died, and even the police don't dare to investigate?"

  "You don't know, this person first appeared in Linqing City's Qingyuan City. As soon as he appeared, he wiped out the richest family in Qingyuan City, killing eight or nine people. The key is not that he killed people, but do you know how perverted he is? The richest man in Qingyuan City was said to be a martial arts master, with bodyguards who could easily knock down five or six young men bare-handed. So many good fighters were all holding guns, firing off several clips, yet they were all killed by that person using just a small fruit knife. And it's said that the scene didn't leave behind any evidence of a crime, as if that person hadn't been hurt at all. This kind of person is simply an evil spirit. Even the police don't have many people who are willing to risk their lives. Even if they knew where he was, how many people would dare to go and investigate?"

  Jiang Weijie suddenly shuddered at the question, causing the car that was about to start to stall, and his words also shocked several women in the car, who were all frightened and trembling with fear.

  Is this guy even human? Normally, he can easily knock down five or six young men with his bare hands, but now he's holding a gun and has fired several clips in vain, only to be effortlessly taken out by someone using a small fruit knife?

  "That person wiped out the richest family in Qingyuan City, and it's been almost a month now. Qingyuan City still hasn't found any clues. Who knew he showed up again yesterday in our Mingchuan? Ah, this time he's gone big. You guys be careful too. After the wedding today, hurry back home, I'll also go into hiding."

  As soon as Jiang Weijie uttered another sentence, several women were shocked again. "You also want to go into hiding? Do you have a feud with him?"

  "Of course not, if I had an enemy I would have died long ago. But who knows why that evil spirit killed people? Yesterday seven people died, their identities and backgrounds were all mixed up, some were the secretaries of a big boss in the city, some were celebrity entrepreneurs, some were gangsters, there was even an escaped prisoner, and also ordinary working-class people. I heard the youngest one was only three years old, they were all killed indiscriminately. I guess that person is just a psychopath, what if I run into him somewhere and he doesn't like me, then I'll be killed unjustly."

  Jiang Weijie spoke again, and his words made several women suddenly hug each other tightly, their faces pale and their bodies trembling slightly.

  The car seemed to have an inexplicable and eerie death cloud, with the atmosphere becoming terrifyingly tense.

  The co-pilot, Guo Zhengyang, moved his lips, but ultimately just rolled his eyes and said nothing.
