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."
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
Yelena discovered that she wasn't her parents' biological child. After seeing through their ploy to trade her as a pawn in a business deal, she was sent away to her barren birthplace. There, she stumbled upon her true origins-a lineage of historic opulence. Her real family showered her with love and adoration. In the face of her so-called sister's envy, Yelena conquered every adversity and took her revenge, all while showcasing her talents. She soon caught the attention of the city's most eligible bachelor. He cornered Yelena and pinned her against the wall. "It's time to reveal your true identity, darling."
Serena gave everything to the man she loved-her trust, her devotion, her future. But betrayal shattered it all. Pregnant and full of hope, she walked in on her husband tangled in bed with another woman. What followed was worse: the slow, agonizing loss of her baby... and then her own life, bleeding out on an operating table, heartbroken and alone. But fate wasn't finished with her. Reborn with every memory intact, Serena wakes in the past-stronger, colder, and no longer naive. This time, she's ready to rewrite her story. This time, she'll make them pay. Because the girl they destroyed... came back for revenge. And maybe, just maybe, she'll find something worth living for too.
After two years of marriage, Kristian dropped a bombshell. "She's back. Let's get divorced. Name your price." Freya didn't argue. She just smiled and made her demands. "I want your most expensive supercar." "Okay." "The villa on the outskirts." "Sure." "And half of the billions we made together." Kristian froze. "Come again?" He thought she was ordinary-but Freya was the genius behind their fortune. And now that she'd gone, he'd do anything to win her back.
Linsey was stood up by her groom to run off with another woman. Furious, she grabbed a random stranger and declared, "Let's get married!" She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world. In front of everyone, he got down on one knee and held up a stunning diamond ring. "I look forward to our forever, honey."
Sunlit hours found their affection glimmering, while moonlit nights ignited reckless desire. But when Brandon learned his beloved might last only half a year, he coolly handed Millie divorce papers, murmuring, "This is all for appearances; we'll get married again once she's calmed down." Millie, spine straight and cheeks dry, felt her pulse go hollow. The sham split grew permanent; she quietly ended their unborn child and stepped into a new beginning. Brandon unraveled, his car tearing down the street, unwilling to let go of the woman he'd discarded, pleading for her to look back just once.
