Anything else? No? Im going back to sleep. Gu Fan was impatient. Recently Aroma had gone back to China, leaving him alone in Britain as if he was abandoned. That felt terrible.
No, nothing.
Su Bai hung up and rubbed between his eyebrows. Now he recognized this symbol. Aroma had suggested that they should have customs made with this symbol on them or leave this symbol on the cri scene after murder as an announcent, but such an idea was denied by the other three mbers. They were not terrorists, and they didnt want to announce responsibility for any murder. They were bold enough to establish a murder club, but they were also clever enough not to beco well-known for this. If they really created a series of murders with great influence, even their influential families would not be able to do anything to clear their nas.
So it was nothing but Aromas casual suggestion before the short-lived club ca to an end, and Su Bai could barely rember it ever appeared. But Gu Fan was deeply in love and rembered everything Aroma said.
Just then, sothing occurred to Su Bai. He had made the sa inference with Chu Jianguo about one thing: there must be more than one person to deliver the notes in the 94 poisoning case. Hundreds of people were involved, so there must be several operators instead of just one.
To deliver notes to hundreds of participants and collect the replies, to make plans, to encourage and brainwash It was far beyond what one person could handle, no matter how good he or she was.
So, there might have been an organization.
And its symbol was this X-X.
It suddenly occurred to him that this organization over 20 years ago was really similar to their murder club started half a year ago. Aroma even suggested to use the sa symbol for their club, which was the most mysterious of all Because of this symbol, the two organizations with 20 years in between were so delicately related.
Su Bai put away the stuff on the table and stared at Xiao Hui. My guts are telling youre hiding sothing from .
Xiao Hui was not honest. Su Bai knew that if he had any other choice, he would blow her away without hesitation even though she was Chu Zhaos girlfriend. And he would still be sleeping soundly at night. But he was afraid that his mission would fail if he did that. Dreadful Radio had ordered him to find Wang Xues obsession so she would let go, not to blow her away with his shotgun.
No, I have nothing to hide. Xiao Hui threw her hands up to show her honesty. She seed to be very familiar with how to deal with Su Bai after so much ti they spent together; now she was much more calr than the first ti she t him.
Was your aunt obsessed with anything else other than this symbol? Su Bai asked. Although he knew it was a long shot.
I dont know Most of her mories are gone, only hatred remained.
Su Bai nodded. You should know, a lot of people had already been involved. I dont care whether youre Xiao Hui or Wang Xue, if youre up to sothing bigger, just give up. Otherwise, you wont end up well. My hands are tight now, but they wont always be like this. Anyway, I must make myself clear: if soday I find out that Xiao Hui is not as innocent as you said, then sorry. I will kill you, even if youre with Chu Zhaos child.
Hearing such a cold-blooded threat, Xiao Hui kept her head bowed and said nothing.
Dreadful Radio was already on to this case. There seed to be other audiences involved and had co after Su Bai before. This woman here was definitely a hard one to handle.
All Su Bai could do now was to find Wang Xues obsession as soon as possible and set Wang Xues soul free. He was not a saint; all he wanted was to fulfill his mission. Even if Wang Xue or anyone else could end up tragically, it had nothing to do with him.
He stood up and was about to leave. The maid ca to help him put on his shoes, but he refused and asked, What are you?
Just a dead person, The maid replied.
If all dead people were like you, this world would be filled with dead people instead of living ones.
Are you one of the living ones?
Su Bai didnt know the answer. That was so question. He was not completely human because of his zombie blood and vampire blood.
I dont care what kind of ghost you are, or where you ca from, just keep an eye on her for . You have lived with her for two days, so you must be sothing. If you can help , Im sure I can get you so reward if you want.
The maid whispered, I know. She tried to leave this place many tis, but I stopped her.
Su Bais eyes narrowed. This maid was more complicated than he had thought. His best guess was that so nearby ghost with great power had taken the maids body shortly after her death while he followed the shadow upstairs.
Of course, it was none of Su Bais business even if it was a notorious demon. He was an egoist to the full.
Good job. Keep her inside.
Thank you.
Su Bai left. The maid watched him until he disappeared out of the corridor, then turned around and continued cleaning.
Xiao Hui took a closer look at the maid. Two non-human beings under the sa roof was actually not very embarrassing, but Xiao Hui knew that she was being closely watched and could never leave this place.
No one was stupid. Just like that Su Bai could tell Xiao Hui was hiding and up to sothing but could do nothing, Xiao Hui could tell this maid was no longer human but could do nothing to escape from her watch.
Su Bai got back into the car and looked back at that apartnt while buckling up.
Well, really wish I could go nuts and blow this all up.
Su Bai murmured to himself. Then he looked at his reflection in the rearview mirror and smiled helplessly.
In fact, Su Bai knew that he hadnt changed at all. Before he went in, he had made up his mind that if he couldnt get anything out of Xiao Hui or the maid, he would kill them both, totally ignoring the Dreadful Radio Ga. However, he now knew the symbol X-X, which was sohow related to Aroma.
This symbol had saved Xiao Hui and the maid from Su Bai. Even Seven was hard when Su Bai went mad; there was no way Xiao Hui could escape.
Hello? Aroma, where are you.
Hum just went out. Gu Fan just called .
He inford you again, didnt he?
Yeah, he said you were on to that symbol.
He loves you so much that youd regret if you dont marry him.
Are you jealous?
Not interested. Where are you? Ill co to you now.
Ill send you my location. Find here.
Su Bai got a location on WeChat; it was a cetery.
Got it. On my way.
He hung up, started the car and arrived in fifteen minutes. He parked outside and went in. So old ladies ca to ask if he would like to buy so flowers, but he refused.
Aroma was standing in front of a tomb. She was dressed in black to show respect.
Su Bai walked to her and stood behind her.
Ive been wondering whether you would co to since I learnt that you were looking into this case. It seems that youre better than I expected. Youd make a better cop than Chu Zhao, really.
Chu Zhao would have done the sa if he was not afraid of ghosts, just like him. Su Bai knew that. He didnt get here through investigation like a cop, but because of his advantages as an audience of Dreadful Radio.
Im listening. Su Bai lit a cigarette.
An elder relative left that symbol to . She was also a student in Hushang University, and was in the sa grade with Wang Xue.
She was the murderer?
Aroma nodded but then shook her head. Yes and no. Su Bai, do you know why I cared so much when you said you wanted to set up a murder club?
Go on. Im all ears. Su Bai breathed out so smoke.
The owner of this tomb, I respected her a lot. She was infected in a highly classified biological experint for our country, and was dying by the ti she was carried back to Shanghai. She was qualified to be buried in the Martyrs Cetery, but she had made it clear that she should be buried in an ordinary cetery if she died because she was ashad to be among the heroes.
She liked and asked to help her for a few days. During that ti, she told a story, which was very similar to that club we founded last year. Several people ford a group looking for fun, and started a ga of killing.
Aroma looked right into Su Bais eyes:
And Wang Xue was one of them.
Su Bais cigarette dropped.
