He is your lover but .... Is he also a serial killer you want to catch?
He is your lover but .... Is he also a serial killer you want to catch?
The shoulder-length haired girl ran while draping the badge around her neck. Her breath hitched as she was at the end of the road. She never expected that dhe would have to run to work. Although tired, the sparkle of enthusiasm and cheerful laughter never disappeared from her beautiful face.
Click ... click ... click ...
Camera shots without lenses repeatedly hit the girl. However, the target is not aware. She even ran back to his workplace which was still some distance away.
Slowly the figure taking the picture lowered the camera. A faint smile tugged on his face. It's so easy to get targets to conquer.

The detective office located on the highway was busy. The girl before was barging in. She quickly sat down at her desk. She closed her eyes and took a moment to catch her breath.
The sound of a thud on the table startled her.
"Detective Song Yifei, how did you catch the killer when you're always late every day? Even your comrades have already left to investigate cases, and you've only just arrived here!"
The girl immediately stood up and saluted.
"Then I'm leaving now, Mr. Han!" she said then hurried to leave.
The middle-aged man with thin gray hair in front of her before widened his eyes and shouted again,
"Stop right there, Yifei. You're not going anywhere until you finish the punishment for your tardiness!"
Yifei who was already at the doorstep immediately returned. However she must obey the man because he is the leader.
***
The young man was in a dark room. Some photos hanging there. His face then returned to a smile as he hung several Yifei photos there.
Soon he rushed out of the room and locked it. The ringing of the phone made him pick up the phone immediately.
"Have you done it?" asked the voice on the other end.
"You take it easy. I'm still watching her. When the time is right, I'll take action."
"I hope you're not wasting your time, Leo."
"Of course not, but I still have to be careful. The target this time is very different. She's a detective. You don't want things to fall apart and she knows everything, right?"
"Fine, I trust you, but I hope you don't waste too much time and fail to finish this."
Leo immediately agreed. He then hung up the phone. Staring at the large mirror in front of him, he still smiled faintly.
***
The girl in the simple white dress lay stiffly. Her eyes widened with a deep fear. The wound in the form of a circular wound was clearly visible on her neck. Her hands and feet were tied with a red ribbon.
Several people rushed over to observe and then shook their heads. The girl had lost her life in such a sadistic way.
"How? Did you guys get anything?" asked the crouching man. His gaze did not leave the girl's corpse.
"Her name is Feiyang. She's a college student," replied the younger man standing not far from him.
"Then Detective Cheng, go to that girl's college now. Find out anything about her!"
The very young detective remained stunned in his place. The man who was with him turned and looked annoyed.
"What are you waiting for? Why are you still standing here? This investigation won't work if you don't hurry up and are still daydreaming in this garden. The culprit is probably preparing to flee!"
The rookie detective was still standing stunned. Slowly he responded to his senior's reprimand,
"But Senior, isn't this the same as the previous case? Maybe it's a serial murder case."
"So you want to stay put? All right, you stay here. No need to investigate!"
Detective Cheng immediately apologized and hurried off. He didn't want to listen to his senior's anger anymore because they hadn't been able to catch the killer from the previous case that had similarities to this case.
***
"What's the matter, Detective Huang? You sound so annoyed. Was it because I wasn't there?" Yifei asked. The girl was clutching the cellphone around her neck while organizing the messy files.
"You can still joke?" said the voice on the other end, sounding still annoyed.
"Things are really messed up here and that new kid even dares to disobey my orders. He's acting smart!"
Yifei chuckled. Detective Huang and Detective Cheng did not get along. Detective Huang, who is the most senior, has the right to give orders or decide something, while Detective Cheng, who is still new, tries to stand out in the team by giving his opinion.
All this time Yifei had always tried to mediate with them. Even though they are fighting, neither of the two detectives was hostile towards Yifei.
"So what? Do I need to go there? But what about my punishment? Mr. Han won't just let me go."
"All right, all right, you just stay there. Don't worry, I can handle that smart-ass brat."
Yifei laughed. She guessed that by now Detective Huang must be waving his hands and lighting a cigarette as was his habit when he was upset. Yifei's laughter then disappeared, she remembered that now they were in the middle of a serious case.
"So how did it go? Is there anything in common with the case we're working on?" she asked, after clearing her throat for a moment. Now their team is devoted to handling the 'Red Ribbon' murder case. Of course those who reported also found similarities with their team's previously unsolved cases.
"That's true, but we also have to investigate other possibilities. That's why I sent that idiot to the victim's campus."
Yifei fell silent. Just five days ago, another girl's body was found with her hands and feet tied with red ribbons in an abandoned park that had never been visited and now another body was found. People will be more and more anxious and doubt their ability to catch the serial killer.
"Could this be a serial murder?" Yifei asked in a low voice.
"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. We still have to investigate other possibilities."
Yifei agreed, even so she still felt bad.
'This case, could it be a serial murder case?' She muttered to herself.

Leo was alone in a dark room. He smiled as he took one of the photos which was none other than Yifei's.
"Calm down, we will meet soon. At this time, sooner or later the path we take will bring us together. Everything will be fun then," he said, looking at the photo of the detective girl with sparkling eyes.
The cell phone rang loudly in the room. Leo immediately picked up.
"What did you do until she is found die?" said the voice on the other side. In the background of the person who called, the sound of the television was heard reporting the death of the girl victim of 'Red Ribbon'.
A smile tugged at Leo's lips.
"Relax, everything will be fine. Nothing will go wrong."
