He walked a couple of steps to the side, though he answered the phone, his attention wasn’t much directed towards Wen Xu. His eyes lingered longingly over the small room of just a few square ters, trying to see if anything else would co to mind.
"Hello? What’s up?"
A clear voice ca through the receiver, "Mu Yunchu is livestreaming."
Feeling Zhou Zhicheng’s obvious pause, he thought for a mont and added, "I think you should watch it, she seems to be talking about this case."
The sa na, the sa profession, and the sa cause of death.
If it wasn’t the sa person, it would be too coincidental.
Of course, there was another reason that made Wen Xu so sure—he rembered Xia Ling.
Even though they were separated by a corridor at the ti, and she quickly closed the door, Wen Xu still rembered that face.
Compared to Mu Yunchu’s livestream ntioning the case, what surprised Zhou Zhicheng more was hearing the forr’s na from Wen Xu’s mouth.
Wasn’t he always very disdainful of this kind of thing? And didn’t like Mu Yunchu?
So his unprecedented first question wasn’t about the case, but instead he asked:
"How do you know?"
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Wen Xu lowered his eyes to look at the screen of his personal phone, at that face exuding coldness, his expression sowhat complex.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze and told Zhou Zhicheng, "The second reading is about to end, you might not be able to find clues from her soon."
Then he hung up the phone without saying anything else.
At that ti, Xia Ling had already cut off the connection. Based on the usual rhythm of the livestream, next Mu Yunchu would continue to draw the third lucky person.
Trying to ask for related details would be inconvenient.
That’s why Wen Xu said so.
As soone who had appeared multiple tis amidst these happenings, Zhou Zhicheng naturally was very aware of this.
At the mont too preoccupied to fret over why Wen Xu was watching Mu Yunchu’s livestream.
Probably got a notification while browsing videos.
Otherwise, he couldn’t have specifically followed her and monitored the livestream, right?
Zhou Zhicheng, after hanging up, hurriedly opened the Whale platform.
The screen showed only Mu Yunchu.
But the comnts and live chat among viewers were still incessantly talking about the matter.
It seed the second reading had left a deep impression on them.
There was no rush to move to the next reading.
However, what’s coincidental is that Mu Yunchu seed to have no intention of proceeding either.
She calmly watched the screen without doing anything and occasionally glanced at the ti.
Ten seconds after Zhou Zhicheng entered the livestream room, Mu Yunchu suddenly glanced at the screen.
Zhou Zhicheng inexplicably felt like she was looking at him.
Then, this feeling was validated.
Mu Yunchu’s thin lips parted slightly, "Captain Zhou, I’ve been waiting for you for a while."
[What? Who’s Captain Zhou?]
[You must be a new fan; all us older fans know who this is.]
[So, who exactly is he?]
[He’s an old police officer, at least at the rank of captain. Our strear helped him solve a case before, and it seems he’s back because of what we discussed earlier.]
[Police??? Sorry, I’m a new fan today, don’t understand, just asking—do police often co here?]
[It’s not just the police; you can encounter almost anything here.]
[???]
[...It’s okay, you’ll get used to it. We older fans have lived through these kinds of days too.]
Although they had interacted multiple tis before. Also aware of her extraordinary foresight.
Yet when she predicted everything accurately and called his na, Zhou Zhicheng couldn’t help but freeze for a second.
Then quickly regained his composure.
"If I didn’t guess wrong, you’re at the murderer’s residence now?"
Zhou Zhicheng nodded self-assuredly to the screen.
Which appeared sowhat odd to outsiders.
In the team, people like Hu Chi were evidently used to it. And knew what Zhou Zhicheng planned to do when he opened that app.
In contrast, those unaware of Mu Yunchu, especially the hotel owner standing clueless, exchanged confused glances.
Streaming now? Not searching for evidence?
Yet they dared not say anything.
...
This ti Zhou Zhicheng wasn’t surprised.
His expression didn’t change at all.
Just wanted to continue listening to Mu Yunchu.
Completely forgot he could use the mic feature.
Mu Yunchu continued, "The victim was strangled to death by him, so you won’t find a murder weapon."
Zhou Zhicheng pressed his lips together.
He had considered this earlier.
Just when he thought he might have co in vain today, Mu Yunchu suddenly told him, "However, there is a key piece of evidence at his place."
This ti, netizens didn’t miss the mont Mu Yunchu’s gaze shifted away.
And they could tell she seed to be in silent communication with soone.
After confirmation, she relayed it to Zhou Zhicheng.
But almost nobody thought she was seeking ’external help’, rather another terrifying thought erged.
[I have a bold speculation, this livestream room... could it have ghosts?]
Though it wasn’t midday, the sunlight outside was still bright.
Yet after this comnt popped up, everyone inexplicably shivered.
As if soone blew a breath down their neck.
[Are you talking about Zhu Hong?]
[I don’t think so... even if there were, she should be with the killer. As the saying goes, grievances have a source...]
Even Zhou Zhicheng, accustod to witnessing all sorts of settings, felt the ambient temperature drop a notch.
Instinctively glanced behind him.
Mu Yunchu didn’t respond to that comnt.
Whether she missed it or silently acknowledged...
Unexplainably, their sixth sense told them it was the latter.
Mu Yunchu began using deduction for its location, hence remaining silent for a while.
While the murderer aid from start to finish directly at Zhu Hong.
However, after committing the murder, he focused on her house.
Though Zhu Hong’s house was ssy, especially with many livestream utilities.
"The murderer feared staying too long in the room would draw attention, so he didn’t rummage through the cabinets but went straight for Zhu Hong’s jewelry cabinet."
In his mind, what was stored there was probably the most valuable.
Zhou Zhicheng recalled the scene during the investigation.
Noticed then that the jewelry box was completely empty.
That’s why he wanted to find those missing pieces at Fang Haiyang’s place.
But found himself at an impasse.
Originally he’d thought, although not knowing which videos were missing, the sheer quantity must be significant.
"He indeed took them all away, but you overlooked one thing."
