This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 49: Serial Killer 01



Chapter 49

Chi Yan was stunned for several minutes, then rode away on his little lamb, absent-mindedly back to the dorm. Wei Feng, who had just come out of the bathroom, suddenly shouted, "Damn! Bro Yan, what's up with you?"

Zheng Qing, who was still playing with his figurines, and Yuan Zhi, who was about to go out, also looked at Chi Yan in shock. "What's up with you, Chi Yan? Why is your face so red? Your ears are red too. And you're sweating on your forehead! Are you sick?"

Chi Yan looked in the mirror next to him. His hair was slightly damp.

He picked up a towel and clothes, "I'm fine." Then he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The other three looked at each other in dismay. Wei Feng suddenly thought, "Bro Yan went to see Senior Chu Yang. Did Senior Chu Yang do this and that to torment him?"

Yuan Zhi knocked him on the head, "You're thinking too much. Maybe he was just in a hurry. Didn't you say Chu Yang wasn't feeling well?"

Wei Feng stroked his head, "Oh right, maybe Bro Yan was just too anxious."

Without further discussion, everyone went about their business. Yuan Zhi had to go to the library to study, Zheng Qing was still working on his figurines, and Wei Feng also had something to do outside, so he packed up first.

When Chi Yan came out of the bathroom, only Zheng Qing was left in the dorm. Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then realized he seemed to have forgotten to ask her why she was unwell.

At the Lingxi Reservoir at the other end of the city, the police fished a bag out of the reservoir. When they opened the bag, everyone around went "eww eww eww".

The identity of the corpse still needed to be verified by the coroner.

Captain Li asked Bao Zhen who had been on watch last night, "Bao Zhen, did you notice anything unusual last night?"

Bao Zhen: "I kept watch all night, and indeed didn't see anyone. It's a reservoir here, so there's a lot of water noise. Then around dawn, I heard something fall in. I went over to take a look but didn't find anything. I waited another two hours, then went over to the other side to poke around with a stick. That's when I poked the bag. It was hard to get it out here, so I called you guys. You know the rest."

A young cop on the side murmured: "So the tip was real."

On the way back, the young cop said to an older cop, "The one who provided the tip said they got it from some online master. Master, do such people really exist?"

The cop next to him lit a cigarette, "You're still young. When you've been in the job long enough, you'll find all kinds of people exist."

The young cop was very excited, "Really? Then can we get her to help with cases? Ouch!"

The young cop was flicked on the forehead by the older cop, "What's up, Master?"

Old cop: "Do you think you can afford her price? Got to be realistic. How can you rely on others? As a cop, you've got to use your own eyes to observe and take action to solve cases, not rely on some master or fortune-teller. You know about believing in science, right? Otherwise what use would we cops be? You think "to serve the people" is just lip service?"

Young cop: "But..."

The old cop gave him a sideways glance. The young cop immediately shut up, "I get it, Master."

In the end, the body was confirmed to be Sun Yue's. Her family collapsed in sobs. Wei Qianduo couldn't bear to watch either. She didn't expect the outcome to be like this.

"Do you think I did wrong? If Sun Yue had remained missing, her parents might have kept believing she was alive. I...I shouldn't have looked for Witch Big Big."

Qin Hai comforted her, "You did nothing wrong. If we couldn't find Sun Yue, how could we find the murderer and get justice for her?"

Wei Qianduo regained her spirit, "You're right."

Finally, the police determined this was a serial murder case. When it was made public, some citizens became very concerned. Higher-ups also demanded the case be cracked and the murderer captured quickly.

Some people let it go in one ear and out the other. At first some ordinary folks would be afraid, but by the next day it was business as usual. Everyone figured this probably wouldn't happen to them since they didn't seem to have offended anyone, plus they didn't go to unsafe places.

Chu Yang vomited for two days before finally recovering. She tried not to think about it, but when she saw the notice about the serial murder case, Chu Yang narrowed her eyes. She hadn't "seen" what the murderer looked like, only that he had a scar on the tiger's mouth area of his hand.

Walking into the classroom, Chen Xixi looked at her, "Chu Yang, you're better now? You're really not pregnant?"

Chu Yang glanced at her, "You've been unlucky lately, watch out." She said unlucky because she saw Chen Xixi had some black energy, nothing serious.

Chen Xixi stood up, "...Chu Yang, you cursed me!"

Chu Yang ignored her. Seeing the teacher come in, she said, "Teacher's here."

Chen Xixi didn't dare say any more. She humphed and sat down, then still unsatisfied, turned and said, "I know about that someone from B University you're with."

Chu Yang knew who she was talking about, but it seemed they weren't together yet. Oh right, she said she'd consider it...hmm still considering.

And the person she was considering hadn't slept well for two days, tossing and turning every night, picking up his phone to ask then putting it down again, looking at her profile pic, flipping through her moments. Oh it seemed she had never posted anything.

"Bro Yan, what's up with you? Look at your eye bags. You're still that perfect, flawless campus heartthrob?" Wei Feng poked at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan: ......

Wei Feng continued: "If Senior saw you like this she wouldn't be able to bear looking at you."

Zheng Qing on the side rolled his eyes. "Wei, even with eye bags Chi Yan would still have girls flocking all over wanting him. Don't believe me? Look around you at all the stolen glances."

Wei Feng: "Senior is no ordinary person. Bro Yan, want me to give you an eye bag face mask?"

Yuan Zhi: "Wei, you use face masks too?"

Wei Feng: "Hehe, I just started recently. A blogger I follow says men should learn to take care of themselves too so we have common topics with girls."

Yuan Zhi: ......

Zheng Qing: "Haven't seen any girls looking for you."

Wei Feng: ......That hit home.

Chi Yan touched under his eyes, "Put some on for me when we get back."

Wei Feng beamed, "You got it!"

Zheng Qing: "I want some too!"

Wei Feng: "Weren't you just scorning it earlier?"

Zheng Qing: "I believe in Bro Yan."

Wei Feng: ......

Recently Chen Xixi felt she really was unlucky. First she tripped and fell at school with everyone watching. Then at lunch the last sweet and sour pork ribs were bought by the person in front of her. She took the wrong bus and missed her stop. The clothes she ordered online turned out to be trash!

That's it, Chu Yang's curse was working!

No way was she going to believe it. That weekend, Chen Xixi went to a temple outside the city and got herself a protective charm. Hmph, this time she definitely wouldn't have bad luck!

After two days, Chen Xixi felt life was going very smoothly! The charm must be working! Hmph, Chu Yang's curse was defeated!
