Chapter 411 Midnight Bounty Hunter 39
However, the surrounding classmates were completely unaware of this, and were only acting out of consideration for their friend and trust in Yu Muhuai.

So, just like Zhao Lele, he stepped forward and stood in front of her.

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, looked at them, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Zhao Lele waved her hand and said with a smile, "We're all family, why be so polite? Even if there were twice as many people as there are today, no, ten times as many, we'd still chase them away!"

Not long after, Zhao Lele regretted her boast.

Looking at the scene before her, her lips twitched a few times, and she said speechlessly, "Some things really shouldn't be said carelessly. What you say will come true. You can't even guess exam questions this accurately!"

The crowd surrounding the classroom had grown several times larger than before.

Among the people on the outermost perimeter, there were even quite a few students from other schools.

Upon seeing Yu Muhuai emerge, the group of people quickly gathered around him.

This scene was far more exaggerated than any of the scenes Qu Qingci remembered.

In her previous life, there weren't so many people surrounding Qu Qingci and asking her questions.

The main reason is that Yu Muhuai has been too high-profile lately.

She first became extremely beautiful, and then there were various ambiguous behaviors that almost confirmed her rumored affair with Fan Xinze.

Now that this incident has happened, if people don't come looking for her, who else should they go looking for?
Two fists can't beat four hands, let alone here there are far more than four hands.

Even though Zhao Lele's voice was hoarse from shouting, it still couldn't compete with the voices of so many people.

Yu Muhuai gestured for her not to say anything more and to leave.

So these friends stopped hoping to figure out the result quickly and instead fled together, leaving the place.

But one problem after another arose.

That same evening, another murder was reported in Gauteng City. Because the manner of death was identical, the cases were combined and handed over to the bounty hunters and the investigation team.

The incident still occurred near Foster College.

The location is in a hotel-style apartment not far from Foster College.

Many of the tenants here are students from Foster University.

Including Zhao Lele and several good friends.

Some of them live alone in a room, while others share a room with another person.

The murder occurred on the 10th floor. The victim was a female student living alone at the university next door.

The incident occurred between 2 and 3 a.m., a time when most people are sound asleep.

Like the body found in the grove of Foster College before, the girl's blood had been drained from her body, leaving her looking like a mummified corpse.

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and no signs of struggle were found on the girl's body.

The murderer must have drained the girl's blood extremely quickly while she was asleep.

Excessive blood loss can cause confusion and eventually coma. This sleeping girl may not even have realized what was happening before she died.

Yu Muhuai arrived at the scene with Xiang Yi.

To her surprise, she saw Zhao Lele and several classmates she usually interacted with at the scene.

Zhao Lele is giving her statement.

At this moment, she was trembling all over, her face was pale, and she looked completely different from the optimistic and cheerful girl she usually was.

When she saw Yu Muhuai walking over, she could no longer hold back and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears.

Yu Muhuai hugged her, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her.

At the same time, Yu Muhuai looked at the members of the investigation team who were taking statements and asked in a low voice what had happened.

Just as Zhao Lele was crying out of fear, a staff member nearby began to explain.

It turns out that the room next to Zhao Lele's was the room where the murder occurred.

She met that girl at the apartment. Although they didn't go to the same school, they were neighbors and kept in touch, occasionally meeting up for meals. They had a pretty good relationship.

Most chillingly, there were signs of a forced entry into Zhao Lele's room.

Her window was pried open from the outside.

Nothing of value was missing from inside. The murderer must have noticed Zhao Lele's absence, which is why they shifted their target and murdered the girl next door.

As Zhao Lele trembled all over, she asked Yu Muhuai through sobs.

"You're saying that the person the killer initially wanted to kill was actually me, right?"

They couldn't find me, so they killed the girl next door. She...she actually died in my place, right?

"Wouldn't I have killed an innocent person?"

Yu Muhuai sighed.

Although Zhao Lele was scared, at the crucial moment she only thought that the deceased was innocent.

Yu Muhuai comforted her, "Lele, don't blame yourself. You are all innocent. The only one who deserves to die is the murderer. He is the one who deserves to die the most."

Fortunately, Zhao Lele went out for a late-night snack with her friends last night. She was so saddened by her father's injury that she couldn't help but drink too much.

So his friends carried him back to his room, and the two slept together all night.

Their room was on the 12th floor, which is why Zhao Lele was able to escape unscathed.

That friend, like Zhao Lele, was Yu Muhuai's classmate. She had just finished giving her statement and was wiping away tears of fear on the side.

However, compared to Zhao Lele, who nearly lost her life, this girl was in a much better condition.

Zhao Lele cried for a while before she calmed down.

Yu Muhuai's shoulder was soaked with Zhao Lele's tears and snot, but she didn't show any disgust.

Zhao Lele saw her handiwork and sobbed as she apologized, "Qing...Qingci, I'm so sorry, I...I got your clothes dirty."

Yu Muhuai smiled helplessly and patted Zhao Lele's head. "It's okay, it's okay, you'll feel better after washing up. Are you feeling any better now?"

Zhao Lele nodded, then shook her head. She bit her lower lip, unsure how to express the complex emotions within her.

Yu Muhuai sighed and was about to say something when he heard a man's panicked voice.

"Lele, Lele! How are you? Are you alright?"

The visitor was Zhao Sujie.

He is out of danger and can be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.

But on his way home, he heard the news from here.

Zhao Sujie often disciplines Zhao Lele, and although his words are sometimes harsh, they all stem from his strong fatherly love.

Upon hearing that his daughter might be in trouble, he didn't care about anything else and rushed over immediately.

Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, Zhao Sujie finally felt relieved.

When Zhao Lele saw her father, she wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

She knew her father had just been injured and needed to rest, so she didn't want him to worry too much.

After handing Zhao Lele over to her father, Yu Muhuai finally had time to examine the body.

The deceased lay peacefully on the bed, the blanket still covering him. If it weren't for the gruesome manner of his death, he might have appeared to be still asleep.

Yu Muhuai leaned closer and sniffed.

Mmm, same taste.
