Chapter 266 - 266: Life Takers-I

Hearing his words, the view image of last night flew on her mind. She covered her mouth, looking at his straightforward gaze she bite her lower lips. "Stop teasing me." She scolded.

Exhaling a little sigh at her adorable expression Wang Li Lei chuckled. "I'm not teasing you. Are you hungry? Let's eat breakfast now." Smiling, Xiao Yun agreed.

Once the light blue clouds passed to a gray tone, the next night Wang Li Lei stepped out of his car, arriving at a silent street. Although the street was quite large due to the many black cars and men in black suits no passengers dared to cross the street. Jang Hyun followed him from behind, stepping on the muddy wet path that came from the continuous rain in the afternoon. The men from Dragon Group who saw Wang Li Lei walking to one of the building beside the street which was lined with the police's yellow line all bowed.

He did not reply to their bow, continuing his path to the second floor where he received the reports of murderer he stopped when he saw a group of men and polices dwelling in front of a room. "Mr. Wang, I see that you have arrived, good night." An older man in his fifties with white and black hair surrounding his forehead greeted. He was dressed in a casual black jacket and jeans like some of the people of his groups

"Likewise." Wang Li Lei kept it short with the old detective.

"I should not keep you wait here then, Mr. Su had been waiting inside. I do believe you know the usual procedures of the crime scene, don't you?" In his words a hint of sarcasms was evident. Wang Li Lei ignored whatever the old man was speaking of like a wind replying to no single word as the old detective lit up his cigarette. Reaching out his right hand which was dressed in black gloves, he turned open the knob of the room.

From a look of the outsider the room was a normal small office often used by the small branches of mobs that was if only there weren't red liquids coloring over the furnitures and white walls across the room. As Wang Li Lei arrived early just before the forensic team took the dead bodies lying underneath the floor, the bloods still look fresh. Dead bodies slashed open and some miserably multilateral was an enough picture to make one hurl like the new young police who opened the door for Wang Li Lei. But the man stood there calmly, his black eyes swept around the scene silently observing. Likewise Jang Hyun who had been living with death found the massacre to be a normal scene to his eyes.

"Do you know how many died? Twenty three. Adding this to the last victims we have gather almost forties bodies died by someone in question." Mr. Su the direct right hand man of Suan Lung who worked for him now spoke. His words were muffled by the handkerchief he used to cover his mouth from the rotten fragrance of the dead bodies.

Wang Li Lei saw blood slowly drying from the open flesh and wounds of the dead men slowly drying from the low temperature and spoke. "It is thirty seven now."

"Thirty seven?" Mr. Su asked in surprise before his face turned grim he repeated again. "Thirty seven." He sighed and ruffled his hair. Reflecting in his eyes were the dead bodies of his long friends who had just retired along with Suan Lung's retirement.

"What did you find?" Asked Wang Li Lei and heard the man sigh.

"Nothing. Even though this isn't the first murder happening in this month. The patterns are the same yet they can't find any single evidence. The murder is too clean that it is weird." Wang Li Lei agreed with his thoughts. No matter how careful the killer was to end lives of twenty three people at the same time without leaving evidence is almost impossible. Crouching down one of his leg, Wang Li Lei placed his hand over the cut flesh. The particular killer didn't use gun perhaps not to leave evidence in what kind of gun he used to have less lead on his identity. The weapon used must have been a sharp knife not too long as it could not pierce through a person's stomach. But to cut through the bones they needed a stronger and a longer blade. Then he came to a conclusion either the killer was a psychopath who had to mutilate the corpses for pleasure purpose or to hide their evidence. Perhaps even both.

"How good Mr. Zuan is in fighting?" Knowing well Mr. Zuan the dead man was once Mr. Su colleague he must have known a few things regarding his raw power.

"Close to me." He repeated, making a shock to flash over Jang Hyun's face.

"That would mean he is a strong person, what about the rest of his men?" He added again and saw Mr. Su shaking his head. "They are also strong bunch of people." Then it was weird, the police must have thought the same thing as Wang Li Lei. From the evidence left, the killer was definitely alone and for a single person raiding a mafia's office with only a short knife to a place which had numerous guns and knifes to end the killer's life one would know better the killer wasn't a normal person.

He then heard Mr. Su speaking again. "We can't have anymore life lost than this before they could take more we should find them."

"I know." Wang Li Lei said briefly, his voice went cold. "For now, Uncle Su we know that this person doesn't randomly target people of the groups. They are targeting people who have connection with Suan Shifu such as Mr. Zuan and you. Please stay low for now." Mr. Su was taken aback but not fully as he had a faint hunch that he would be targeted next. "I can't even if it is your direct order as a successor Li Lei. They targeted my brothers and I will not hide from them." Wang Li Lei expected his answer and pulled a smile.
