Chapter 61 - 61 060 The Villain_1

61: Chapter 060: The Villain_1 61: Chapter 060: The Villain_1 By the time he got back to school, it was already past two in the afternoon. Instead of heading back to his dorm, Lv Zhong went straight to the classroom since the fifth class was about to start. Upon entering the classroom, Lv Zhong noticed many students were gathered in small groups discussing something. This caught him off guard. “What are you guys talking about?” Lv Zhong curiously looked at Chen Shaoyuan, Li Jian, Tang Lei, and others, who were deeply engaged in a conversation, and asked after taking his seat. Seeing Lv Zhong appearing, Tang Lei cried out in surprise, “Brother Zhong, you’re here? Hahaha, we were just talking about the Throat-Cutter. Another young woman fell victim to him in Lixin District this afternoon. Besides being violated, her throat was slit too. This constitutes his eighth victim…” The Throat-Cutter? Lv Zhong was aware of this. The news had been full of reports about this man recently. In the past few months, the man had committed eight crimes in various cities in Xiangnan Province including Xingcheng, Zhuzhou, and Yan City. He was not only arrogant, preying on beautiful women, but he also slit their throats after violating them. This man was even more brutal and deranged than ‘Head-Exploding Brother’ Zhou Kehua of a few years ago. After all, Zhou Kehua targeted his victims for money, but this Throat-Cutter not only raped his victims but also killed them afterward. Moreover, the police could still get some information and photos related to Zhou Kehua, but they had no exact information about this Throat-Cutter due to his strong anti-investigation skills. No one even knew his height or weight. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In addition, he was elusive and adored breaking into homes to kill and slit throats. Not even surveillance cameras near the victim’s houses could capture any footage of him. This significantly increased the difficulty of solving the case. The eighth one? In just over three months, eight beautiful young women had died at the hands of this Throat-Cutter? Lv Zhong knew that these victims were not only stunning but also extremely young. They were all generally under the age of 26, with two of them still being high school students! In their prime, these youthful women were in their most brilliant stage of life, showcasing their beauty. However, their lives were cut short by the Throat-Cutter. Lv Zhong frowned, a flame of anger surging in his heart. Although he would not exactly call himself a righteous man, he deeply abhorred scum like this. For a moment, Lv Zhong was flooded with a strong urge to kill. However, he swiftly regained his composure and suppressed the killing intent. Tang Lei, Chen Shaoyuan, Li Jian, and the others, who were passionately discussing, suddenly felt a chill. They all shivered involuntarily. Tang Lei muttered under his breath, “Damn, it’s such a nice, sunny day. How come I just felt a gust of wind colder than winter?” “Lixin District? Fatty, did the eighth woman die in our Yan City’s Lixin District? Did the man appear in Yan City again?” Remembering Tang Lei’s words, Lv Zhong was slightly startled and hurriedly asked. Among the first seven women who died at the hands of the Throat-Cutter, the first two were from Yan City, the third and fourth ones were from Zhuzhou, and the fifth to seventh victims were all from the provincial capital Xingcheng. If the eighth woman was also from Yan City, then that would mean that the mysterious Throat-Cutter had returned! If that’s the case, Lv Zhong wouldn’t let him escape! Actually, Lv Zhong had wanted to annihilate this mysterious Throat-Cutter for a long time. However, the man had not committed any crimes in Yan City for more than two months and had fled to other parts of the province instead, leaving Lv Zhong powerless. But now, this man had returned to Yan City again. So, Lv Zhong felt that he had to end this man’s life! This had nothing to do with justice; it was just that this man had crossed his Lv Zhong’s bottom line! In Lv Zhong’s mind, robbery, blackmail, weapons smuggling, etc., were all tolerable as long as he wasn’t involved. However, if people recklessly killed ordinary people and violated women, that was absolutely unacceptable. Such people didn’t deserve to live. Their existence posed the greatest threat to society. “Yes! The throat-cutter has indeed returned to our Yan City. He sneaked into a woman’s room in Lixin District last night and gruesomely killed her. The victim was only 23 years old, an intern female doctor at Affiliated First Hospital…” At Lv Zhong’s question, Tang Lei spouted all the information he knew. An intern female doctor? There was a shock in Lv Zhong’s heart, as he suddenly started worrying about his older sister, Lv Lei. Apparently, his older sister was also an intern female doctor, and quite a gorgeous one at that. However, as she was interning in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of the New Affiliated Second Hospital, he was not too worried. After all, the current New Affiliated Second Hospital was a major stronghold for the [Soul Devouring Bug]. “It seems that I will need to assign more [Soul Devouring Bugs] to protect my older sister in secret these days.” Although Lv Zhong was somewhat worried in his heart, he was not rushing. This throat-cutter usually acted at night so Lv Zhong had plenty of time to arrange for [Soul Devouring Bugs] to protect his older sister. However, sending the [Soul Devouring Bugs] to protect his sister was not a long-term solution. To reassure all the women of Yan City, he must capture this mysterious throat-cutter or even kill him outright. “Hehe, I don’t know who you are, but since you have returned to Yan City, you need to stay for good!” Lv Zhong sneered in his heart. Perhaps regular detective police might not be able to determine who this person was in a short period, but it was impossible for this person to hide under his, Lv Zhong’s, control! Some insects had a sense of smell that was stronger than the best wolves. Just take a common fly for example; its sense of smell was many times better than that of a dog. Now, the [Soul Devouring Bug] under Lv Zhong’s control had a sense of smell that was several tens of thousands of times better than an ordinary fly. Moreover, the soul power of the [Soul Devouring Bug] was incredibly strong, and it could easily notice things that human beings couldn’t. With many alien insects at his disposal, Lv Zhong was very confident about eliminating this mysterious throat- cutter. Listened to the conversations of Tang Lei and others, he sensed the nervousness of many female students in the class. Lv Zhong quietly shook his head. He then turned to Chen Shaoyuan, Li Jian, and Tang Lei, who were engaged in a lively discussion, and said, “I’m going to the washroom, you carry on.” After leaving the classroom and coming down from the third floor, Lv Zhong was about to discreetly release the now-5 larvae of Soul Devouring Insects to go and check out the victim’s house. However, he realised that he didn’t know where the woman lived. After giving it some thought, Lv Zhong took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Wanqiong’s number, and straightforwardly asked, “Sister-in-law, do you have Mayor Zhao’s number? I need to talk to him. Or you could give me Zhao Ziyu’s number.” At this time, Liu Wanqiong was also working in her flower shop. After hearing the news at noon, she was quite terrified. Actually, it was not just her. All the young and beautiful women in Yan City who knew that the throat-cutter was back were scared out of their minds. Today, while sitting in her flower shop, Liu Wanqiong was feeling slightly restless. When she received Lv Zhong’s call, she felt a sense of inexplicable calmness, and a feeling of relief rose within her. “Little Zhong, it’s you!” Liu Wanqiong laughed delightedly, her extremely beautiful face lighting up as if a block of ice had melted, “I will send Uncle Zhao’s number to you right away. Hehe, Little Zhong, you still remember sister-in-law? It’s rare to get a call from you.” “I would like to call you every day, sister-in-law. But, you see, us senior high school students have a lot to study!” Lv Zhong grinned and made a dry explanation. “Hmph, I know that you rank first in the entire year of City No.1 High School. Is studying really that stressful for you? You kid are tricking me.” Liu Wanqiong playfully complained over the phone. Speechless, Lv Zhong quickly changed the topic: “Hehe, speaking of, sister-in-law, I heard that the throat-cutter is back. Be careful these days.” Hearing Lv Zhong say this, Liu Wanqiong trembled and muttered: This kid really knows how to touch a sore spot, just when she was scared! Feeling Liu Wanqiong’s fear, Lv Zhong quickly said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. That throat-cutter won’t be arrogant for long. I promise!” Although curious about why Lv Zhong sounded so confident, Liu Wanqiong’s fear disappeared in a heartbeat, and she nodded her head. … After chatting with Liu Wanqiong for a bit, Lv Zhong hung up. Not long after, he received a text message from Liu Wanqiong. He dialed the number in the text message, and upon connection, an authoritative voice came through: “I am Zhao Yuanyi. May I ask who this is?” He then started laughing, “Uncle Zhao, this is Lv Zhong. I have a method to find the throat-cutter…”
