For mythical creatures, there are basically only two possible reasons why they would actively attack humans - the first is to satisfy their appetite by eating human flesh, and the second is to use humans as sacrificial victims for ritual ceremonies.
From the current situation, it seems that the Blood Hand Print Killer may possess both of these motivations, as the killer has been taking away a part of the victims' flesh and hearts after each murder.
So this Blood Hand Print Killer may be satisfying their own gluttony while also acquiring the victims' hearts for so kind of ritual ceremony.
However, what still puzzles Liu Xing is the killer's low frequency of cris. Over the years, there have only been about ten such cases.
While there may be so undetected cases, it shouldn't be too many, as the Blood Hand Print Killer has never been concerned about the impact of their actions, and their modus operandi is highly distinctive.
So why is the killer so slow? Liu Xing feels that he can no longer see through what the Blood Hand Print Killer is doing.
But Liu Xing can now confirm that Yis PeopleIthaqua's return to this ti point is most likely to find this Blood Hand Print Killer.
It seems that he must find this Blood Hand Print Killer as soon as possible.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing threw himself into his work with the utmost effort.
And so the afternoon passed.
According to the investigation, the manor owner's family of six was most likely the target of the Blood Hand Print Killer's first cri, and the killer fled the manor after killing them. However, it's now unclear why the killer has been impersonating the manor owner to deceive the police. Chief Hause believes the Blood Hand Print Killer is trying to provoke the police, as many psychopathic killers enjoy taunting the authorities to gain a sense of achievent.
As for the deceased at the manor gate, his identity has now been confird as a reporter from a London tabloid. The reporter had co to the manor the previous night to investigate a rumor of an underground casino there, as he planned to blackmail the casino operators if it was real, and then make a big profit by exposing its existence.
Of course, the people running an underground casino near London are not to be trifled with, so the reporter had not carried any identification on him to avoid causing trouble for his family if sothing happened. He had also left a note at ho to ensure his family would avenge him and expose the casino if he t with an accident.
As for the cause of the reporter's death, it has now been determined that he was attacked by so kind of large animal.
And there was no underground casino at the manor, as it turned out to be a lie.
"Looks like this guy was a tough one, daring to try and extort an underground casino," Leon comnted with so admiration.
Liu Xing nodded and said, "People die for money, birds die for food. If he had succeeded in extorting the casino, he could have made a fortune and fled England. Unfortunately, he didn't account for dying for a lie."
At this point, Wesker, who had been talking to Chief Hause, suddenly said, "Alright, let's wrap up now."
Liu Xing, Leon, and Jill all looked surprised, as from the current situation, they should still be working overti to investigate further, as they hadn't finished searching the manor yet.
Seeing their confusion, Wesker explained, "The case at the manor gate has been solved, so we can go ho now. As for the Blood Hand Print Killer case, a Special Investigation Team will be handling it."
It was clear that the higher-ups didn't believe the tabloid reporter was killed by the Blood Hand Print Killer.
However, Liu Xing still felt the reporter was likely killed by the Blood Hand Print Killer, just that this ti the killer didn't remove the victim's heart.
Since Wesker had ordered them to wrap up, Liu Xing and the others were happy to get off work early, especially Leon.
Back at the London Police Station, Leon went to the restroom to tidy up his appearance, as he and the others had gotten quite dirty from searching the manor.
Liu Xing glanced at the office clock - it was now 5 pm.
At this ti, Wesker had gone to the eting room to talk to soone sent by the higher-ups, so Liu Xing could only sit and chat casually with Jill.
"I actually wanted to apply to the Military Academy, but my dad was worried I couldn't handle the hardship, so he secretly changed my application to the Police Academy in Scotland. But even at the Scotland Police Academy, I've heard of your reputation, Chris - or rather, the whole Great Britain Alliance Police Academy knows you as a rising star in law enforcent," Jill said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded. "Chris" was indeed considered a rising star in law enforcent, as he had always been the top student in the Police Academy, even outperforming the instructors in so practical subjects. And with "Chris" being a handso, aloof figure, his na had spread throughout the Great Britain Alliance Police Academies.
At this ti, Leon entered the office and said with a smile: "Jill, you may think Chris looks cold, but in reality, he is a typical warm-hearted person, and he is also completely reliable, so Jill, you can rest assured and entrust your back to Chris."
From an angle where Jill couldn't see, Leon started winking at Liu Xing.
Liu Xing knew that Leon was starting again.
Because Leon was the only friend of "Chris" in the Police Academy, there were many female students... Of course, since this is the country known as the "Rotten Country" of England, in addition to the female students, there were also quite a few male students who had Leon pass on love letters to "Chris", and "Chris" had always asked Leon to handle these love letters, so Leon had positioned himself as the "matchmaker" for "Chris", and any girl that Leon thought was decent, he would seriously introduce to "Chris"...
Now, Leon felt that Jill was quite nice.
Liu Xing sighed and said seriously, "I can't guarantee other things, but I can definitely be your most solid backup, let's work together to fight against evil."
Liu Xing's words made Jill and Leon nod with a smile.
Because Leon was naturally a very eloquent person, he quickly obtained a lot of Jill's personal information.
First, Jill was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and her parents were well-known local surgeons, so Jill's parents were sotis very busy and would take the then-young Jill to play in the hospital.
As a result, when Jill was seven years old, her parents treated a retired veteran, and during the veteran's hospitalization, Jill often went to play with the veteran, because the veteran would tell Jill stories from the battlefield.
This is also the reason why Jill wanted to join the military.
Because in European and Arican countries, the social status of doctors is very high, it can be said to be a true "golden rice bowl", so Jill's parents have always wanted Jill to beco a doctor as well, so naturally, Jill's parents were very opposed to Jill joining the military, so after learning that Jill was preparing to join the military, Jill's parents used their connections to "modify" Jill's dical examination report.
After learning the truth, Jill planned to run away from ho, but before she could even leave the house, she was caught by her parents, and Jill's parents even claid that if Jill was allowed to join the military, she would definitely die in Iraq.
At the ti, Jill didn't know why her parents were so sure that she would die in Iraq if she joined the military, but seeing her parents' serious expressions, Jill could only choose to go to the Police Academy instead.
"Iraq, huh? Jill, your parents must be referring to the Gulf War, right? Although the Gulf War was already several years ago, the Gulf War was also the most recent war, and our Great Britain Alliance also sent troops to participate," Leon said, stroking his chin.
At this ti, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown.
Because Liu Xing knew that the Iraq that Jill's parents were talking about was most likely the one after the 9/11 incident.
That is, the Iraq War two years later.
So why would Jill's parents know about an event that hadn't even happened yet?
Liu Xing could only think of three words - Yis People.
Although Jill's parents might also have learned about the Iraq War situation through other ans in advance, the final boss of this module is still Yis People Ithaqua, so Liu Xing felt that Jill's parents were most likely inford about the Iraq War through Yis People.
This reminded Liu Xing of sothing, which was that in European and Arican countries, there were quite a few high-ranking officials who believed in Yis People, and although this could be considered "slapping a cold butt with a hot face", sotis Yis People would also provide their believers with so "prophecies".
In addition, it's also possible that Jill's parents have been possessed by Yis People before.
At this ti, Leon, who was standing beside him, saw that Liu Xing's expression was not right, and asked, "Chris, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xing snapped out of it and casually made an excuse, "Actually, I've also heard soone say that there will definitely be a war in Iraq in the near future, after all, Iraq's geographical location is really important, and Iraq's resources are also very abundant, especially Iraq's oil reserves, which are the second largest in the world, so I think the United States of Arica will definitely want to have complete control over Iraq."
Liu Xing's words made Leon and Jill pause.
At this mont, Wesker also returned to the office. "Alright, young people, you can now go off work. In the future, as long as there are no cases, we can leave after 5 o'clock."
Liu Xing quickly stood up and asked, "Mr. Wesker, can you tell us what those people upstairs asked you? Is this case related to the Blood Hand Print Killer?"
Wesker looked a bit surprised at Liu Xing and said, "Chris, do you already know about that matter?"
That matter?
Liu Xing frowned, then imdiately realized what Chris was referring to.
The death of "Chris's" parents!
According to "Chris's" mory, his parents died accidentally while chasing a fugitive, and at the ti, because "Chris" was still young, Chief Hause did not tell him the detailed circumstances of his parents' death.
Now it seems that the death of "Chris's" parents is very likely related to the Blood Hand Print Killer.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing imdiately put on an agitated expression and said, "What, could it be that my parents died because of the Blood Hand Print Killer?!"
Wesker realized he had let sothing slip, so he could only sigh and say, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth, Chris. Your parents did indeed die because of the Blood Hand Print Killer. At the ti, your parents were investigating another case when they accidentally discovered the just-departed Blood Hand Print Killer, so your parents chose to request backup while secretly tracking the Blood Hand Print Killer. But when I and the others arrived at the 'ho of the Blood Hand Print Killer' that your parents ntioned, your parents were already lying in a pool of blood."
"Why didn't you tell the truth earlier?" Liu Xing said in a low tone.
Wesker shook his head and said helplessly, "Because the Blood Hand Print Killer is too dangerous, we didn't want to let Chris risk his life, so we planned to tell you after the Blood Hand Print Killer was caught."
"Alright then, Mr. Wesker, I'll be leaving the office now," Liu Xing said as he turned and left the office.
As Liu Xing's friend, Leon quickly said to Wesker, "Then, Mr. Wesker, I'll be leaving with Chris now."
Wesker nodded and said seriously, "Leon, you should know about Chris's past, so I'll have to trouble you today."
Leon shook his head and said, "No problem, I think Chris is just having a hard ti accepting this news, maybe he'll be back to normal after he gets ho."
On the other side, Liu Xing now finally knows why he "slept with" Chris, it turns out that Chris also has a mortal enemy in the Blood Hand Print Killer.
However, what Liu Xing is most worried about now is that according to the usual style of the Cthulhu Role-Playing Ga Hall, Liu Xing has to suspect that this ti the Main quest of his module will require him to protect the Blood Hand Print Killer.
This would be in line with the difficulty of the module.
Thinking about this, Liu Xing felt a headache coming on.
At this ti, Leon's voice ca from behind Liu Xing, "Chris, slow down."
