Capítulo 874: Chapter 853: Murderer
Heavy rain,
Raindrops the size of beans pounded on the window, their sound growing louder, as if soone were knocking on the door.
Luo Di’s eyes suddenly opened,
staring at the mottled ceiling, glancing at the nearly empty wine bottles on the nightstand, and the black-haired woman beside him with a half-revealed white shoulder and a graceful figure.
His head ached, feeling heavy as if filled with lead, but more importantly, he seed to have a severe mory lapse.
The classic three questions were all forgotten,
Strangely,
he vaguely rembered last night’s dream, where he seed to return to his student days, encountering the world behind the “Corner,” and acquiring extraordinary abilities nad the “Fear System.”
He t many people, many teachers, and even embarked on the path towards divinity.
But such a dream shattered too quickly, breaking apart with the rain outside before he could collect the pieces.
Shaking his head lightly,
Luo Di sat up, picked up the black underwear dropped on the floor, and continued dressing with the various clothes thrown at the foot of the bed.
At the sa ti, he sorted and folded the won’s clothes mixed in them, placing them neatly by the bed.
He did not wake the stranger beside him, who also carried a scent of alcohol, even though she bore a strong trace of his presence.
Walking barefoot out of the bedroom.
This was an old two-bedroom apartnt, the opposite bedroom locked, and Luo Di could not recall where the key was.
He first went to the bathroom, wiping away the mist on the mirror.
A face with so untrimd stubble, eyes slightly blurred, and heavy bags beneath them erged.
About in his early thirties, seemingly aged an additional five years by alcohol and nicotine.
His black windbreaker covered a rugged and scarred body.
Patting water onto his face, he indeed felt more awake, but his mory remained blurred.
He tried reaching into his pants pocket, finding nothing, perhaps he had no proper identification, or it was long destroyed.
After simple washing and tidying up,
Luo Di instinctively headed to the kitchen, intending to cook sothing, only to find the fridge filled with pre-cooked als needing just a quick reheating.
Holding a mug of hot milk, with a piece of bread, he headed to the living room,
turning on the TV, planning to watch sothing to pass the ti. Waiting for the woman to wake should reveal his identity.
However,
as the TV channels changed, Luo Di suddenly widened his eyes and turned up the TV volu.
≮Our City Investigation Bureau is currently pursuing a major criminal suspect, Luo Di, who is on the run.
The suspect is allegedly involved in multiple murder cases and may be active in our city and surrounding areas. Citizens providing direct and effective leads will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan, and the police will keep informant information strictly confidential.
Here are the relevant features of the suspect, Luo Di,
approximately 1.81 ters tall, with a robust physique.
Last seen wearing a black raincoat and a black mask.
The Investigation Bureau has classified Luo Di as “extrely dangerous” and advises citizens not to act rashly but to report to the police imdiately upon discovery.≯
The suspect’s na given in the news sounded very familiar,
Simultaneously, the news displayed a sketch of the suspect based on eyewitness descriptions and a sowhat blurry captured image.
“My na is… Luo Di? Am I involved in multiple murder cases?”
Luo Di tried to recall related mories; he seed to rember sothing.
So fragnts flashed by, without any scenes of murder.
Instead of murder, it felt more like pursuing the perpetrator. However, every ti Luo Di reached the cri scene, the perpetrator had already fled, leading to him being seen as a suspect.
As he attempted to delve deeper into recollections,
he caught sothing out of the corner of his eye.
The black-haired woman erged wearing only a white shirt, her face slightly flushed as if she liked this man in front of her.
But…
Her gaze fixed on the TV,
the affection and dependence slowly overtaken by fear.
“You…”
She neither cared to dress nor rembered what she wanted to say to Luo Di, her body edged towards the door.
From slowly moving, to fast walking, to running.
Clack!
The door lock made a loud noise and wouldn’t open no matter what.
The black-haired woman grew increasingly desperate, even breaking down. When she heard footsteps approaching from behind, it felt like liquid might seep out.
Danger didn’t arrive,
but instead, her neatly folded clothes were handed over.
“Dress up and leave. Also, there’s sothing I want to ask you.”
The black-haired woman seed startled senseless, taking quite so ti before accepting the clothes and speaking: “Alright… you, you ask.”
“What is our relationship? Is my na Luo Di?”
The woman first shook her head, “Last… night I drank too much, got into trouble with my ex-boyfriend, then you appeared, and I followed you here.
I asked for your na, but you didn’t say.”
“Did I have any distinctive features last night, can you describe them in detail?”
“You…” the woman deliberately lowered her voice, “you’re the most amazing that I’ve t…”
“Not in that sense.”
The woman shook her head, “Then there’s nothing much. I drank too much last night too, ca back with you… then just fell asleep… Oh right! You seed to have sothing on your back, every ti we changed positions you’d avoid letting see your back.”
“On my back? Fine, take your belongings and go ho, just pretend you haven’t seen .”
“Alright…”
The woman dressed up, thanked him with her head lowered, and quickly left, her hurried steps audible.
Luo Di headed to the bathroom again, stripped off his shirt, and turned his head as much as possible to look at his back.
Uncle Joke (乔克叔叔)
A few large English letters were engraved on the back, along with an exaggerated smiling face drawn below.
Upon seeing such a tattoo, Luo Di’s pupils gradually dilated, and related fragnts of mories surged to his heart.
He quickly headed to the locked room and kicked it open!
Inside was a dark room,
Various clues about “Joker” were fixed on the red bulletin board wall, so blurry images taken, so newspapers, all connected by red lines.
Luo Di could confirm that he was on the hunt for the murderer.
The reason he was on this path was that his entire family was killed by a “Joker” nad Uncle Joke.
A large amount of information has been collected, confirming that Uncle Joke had a high probability of appearing in Moon Lake Park today.
Ti was running late,
Luo Di quickly put on a mask and baseball cap,
Took a backpack from the hidden compartnt in the closet,
Moon Lake Park was less than a kiloter away, and this house was the old residence he had carefully planned and rented.
At midday,
In the center of the park,
Many parents brought their children to play here, while Luo Di sat on a bench in advance, pretending to be a resting tourist.
Soon,
He saw the clown with white makeup amidst the crowd, handing out balloons to the children.
There would be no mistake.
Luo Di reached into his backpack for the slaughter knife, pretending to be a child’s father, slowly approaching the clown.
He stared directly at the clown’s chest,
Just as he was about to get close, about to pierce through.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Luo Di looked down at his body, his heart pierced by the bullet.
He still wanted to move forward, still wanted to take down the target in front.
But the next second,
An investigator rushed up and completely subdued him.
During his blurry consciousness, Luo Di vaguely heard, “The report was reliable!
‘Joker murderer,’ ‘Uncle Joke’ Luo Di has been shot dead, no casualties at the scene, over!”
Luo Di’s thoughts were pulled back to the dark room, where clues covering the wall seed like different city clown information, each clue seed to be his target.
Consciousness faded, life dwindled.
At the mont of death… snap!
The sound of raindrops ca, and Luo Di woke up again.
In the sa room, with the sa sll of alcohol, with the sa black-haired woman.
This ti, Luo Di clearly rembered what had happened before,
He suddenly sat up, “I…I am a murderer? No, there must be so mistake, did this woman just report ?”
His mood turned irritable, but he still had no intention to kill.
Luo Di left a note on the bedside saying he’d bring her lunch back at noon. He swiftly set off, and before leaving, he made sure the TV was tampered with, ensuring it couldn’t be turned on.
Heading to the park,
Waiting for an opportunity,
Yet the situation was the sa!
Before taking action, the bullet pierced through his chest.
Before dying, he saw people around him taking pictures with smartphones, suddenly realizing the black-haired woman at ho could easily get news updates through her phone.
After death,
He woke up again,
Luo Di this ti found a rope in the wardrobe, directly tied up the black-haired woman, gagged her, and took her phone away.
Finally, his action in the park succeeded,
This ti without the investigator’s interference, he killed the clown! Very easily, very naturally, even feeling familiar, he mingled in the crowd and left effortlessly.
It was certain that the previous two tis had been reported by the black-haired woman.
Luo Di seed like he had completed a heartfelt matter, his inner satisfaction had been greatly fulfilled, he returned ho with a smile and a boxed lunch.
Who knew, just as he opened the door,
A gun barrel pointed at his head.
The Investigation Bureau had already set an ambush here,
As Luo Di was escorted away, he saw the black-haired girl and her family. It seed her family found this place because she didn’t co ho last night and confird Luo Di’s identity.
Once Luo Di was captured, he was soon sentenced to death.
At the mont of execution,
He awoke in bed once more,
This ti he beca even more irritable, an inexplicable evil thought surging within.
Looking at the black-haired woman beside him, it seed as long as she existed, he would never escape the cycle.
He must kill her…for his life to continue.
He raised his hand, slowly approaching her neck,
Just then,
The black-haired woman seed to sense movent, rolled over and tightly embraced Luo Di, wrapping her leg around him. She was still sleeping and unaware of the danger.
The woman murmured so affectionate words, “Mmm~ you’re awake~ you still haven’t told , what’s your na…”
“Di.”
Receiving the answer, she slowly opened her dark eyes and smiled, “My na is Wu Wen, nice to et you.”
“Nice to et you.”
