I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the first time she saw her female neighbor would be in this situation. She was lying on the bed with disheveled hair and eyes wide open, as if she didn't understand why she died.

She had only met the male couple living in Room 601 and had never met the female because their schedules did not match.

I heard that the woman worked in a nightclub and came back very late at night. When she came back, Su Xiaoxiao was basically asleep.

A cordon was set up at the door of Room 601. Forensic doctor Zhang and colleagues from the technical department were investigating the scene. The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There were no signs of a fight in the living room. The deceased was killed on the bed. The two bodies were naked and overlapped.

The bald man's huge body pressed on the woman. If it weren't for the knife on the woman's throat, Su Xiaoxiao would have thought she was crushed to death.

The two men died in the same way, both were killed instantly by having their throats slashed by a knife.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the two men were probably making love at the time. The murderer approached the man from behind, grabbed the bald man's neck, and slit his throat with a knife.

The same thing happened to the woman. She was grabbed by the hair and her throat was cut with a knife. The technique was clean and neat, without a trace of mud or water.

Maybe she called for help, or maybe she didn't. They often yelled so loudly that even if someone heard them, they would just think they were making a baby.

Blood was splattered all over the bed, and the sheets and quilt were soaked with blood. The excess blood flowed to the ground, forming a puddle of blood on the floor.

There were traces of climbing on the balcony. It was initially judged that the perpetrator climbed into the room from the balcony and then went into the bedroom to commit the crime. After the crime, he calmly wiped off the footprints and fingerprints and left.

No murder weapon was found in the room. The murder weapon was probably a thin and sharp knife, which was taken away by the murderer. Apart from the traces of climbing on the balcony, there were no clues left.

The landlord is a fat middle-aged woman. Everyone calls her Sister Hua. The whole building belongs to her. She is a real rent collector.

At this moment, she was standing at the door of the room, beating her chest and stamping her feet, wailing with tears and snot.

Apartment type 01 is the best apartment type in this building. The room is large and newly decorated. It is reserved for tenants with better financial conditions and the rent is relatively expensive.

It’s not like the house where Su Xiaoxiao and her family live. The rooms are small and crowded, but it’s cheap and everyone can get what they need.

The bald couple has lived here for several years and pays rent generously. Sister Hua likes tenants like this, so she tolerates any other problems. After all, money is more important.

Now, not being able to collect rent after a murder is not a big deal. In the future, the rent of the entire building will drop. Especially after a murder occurred in Building 601, no one will rent the building even if the rent is lowered.

This happened to a friend of hers before. A murder happened there and the house had been empty for several years and couldn’t be rented out.

The more Sister Hua thought about it, the more her heart ached. She held Qi Lei and cried non-stop. Qi Lei was too embarrassed to push her away, so he could only listen to her crying with an embarrassed look on his face.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over, pulled Sister Hua aside, comforted her, and sent her back. She was quite familiar with Sister Hua. Although her family was very poor, they had never defaulted on rent.

"What do you think after seeing the scene?" Qi Lei asked her.

"It should be a revenge killing or a love killing. The move was swift and brutal. The victim didn't even have time to react before the killing was complete. He must be an expert. Moreover, nothing in the room was moved. The watch, ring, and necklace are all there. He couldn't be killing for money." Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment.

Qi Lei thought so too.

The bald man is called Ma Wu, and he is one of Zhao Zhixiang's bodyguards.

As for the profession of bodyguard, there are quite a lot of enemies, most of which are because of their masters, but the hatred is not so great as to kill the whole family.

Moreover, Ma Wu is very loyal in his relationships. He only has this one woman in his heart. He is very sincere to her and picks her up from get off work every night.

The woman's name is Zheng Meilin. She works at Jinsha Nightclub and is a so-called mama.

Her situation was more complicated. She was beautiful, good at socializing, and had ambiguous relationships with several men. Not only that, she also kept a gigolo. Everyone in the nightclub knew about it, but she kept it a secret from Ma Wu.

They checked several men who had an affair with Zheng Meilin, but none of them had the time to commit the crime.

Li Xiang, the gigolo that Zheng Meilin kept, also said that he did not have the time to commit the crime.

He was actually a gigolo. He had a good-looking face and could easily hook up with young girls. He spent a lot of the money he got from Zheng Meilin on other young girls.

Zheng Meilin also turned a blind eye to it. It wasn't real love, they just got what they wanted.

It's her fault that the bald guy in his family is really disgusting except for his good looks in that aspect. If it weren't for his single-minded devotion to Zheng Meilin, he would have been kicked out by her eight hundred times.

That night, Li Xiang had just hooked up with a young girl. He was having so much fun that he took her to a hotel. The hotel has records of the hotel stay and surveillance footage.

So, he really didn't have the time to commit the crime.

They checked the social relationships around Ma Wu and Zheng Meilin but did not find any suspects. They also watched the surveillance footage entering and leaving the community frame by frame and did not find any suspicious people coming in or out.

The target of revenge or love killing was not found, and it was not a murder for money. The criminal investigation team could not find a direction to break through, and the case suddenly came to a stalemate.

Su Xiaoxiao wondered why there was no system notification about this murder case. Was this case not important? Or were they overthinking it? In fact, the murderer was right under their noses.

Just then, a system prompt sounded in my mind.

[Meow, trigger the system's hidden mission: catch the murderer of Wang Quanzhen, time limit 7 days.]

[Meow, you will receive a random reward from the system after completing the task. ]

[Meow, if you fail to complete the mission, Su Yue will die. ]

What does that mean? The system is letting her family members take turns to cause trouble.

Wang Quanzhen? Why is it another name I haven't seen before? And she is asked to find it herself, right?

[Meow, the host is really smart, you can do it, come on! ]

Well, whether she refuels or not, the system will not let her go. Let’s find the victim of the case first.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao has already figured out some rules of the system. For example, Li Cui'e last time was Yun Duo'er's real name, and this Wang Quanzhen might be Zheng Meilin's real name. People who work in entertainment venues like to use aliases or something.

After logging into the internal system to check, it was found that Zheng Meilin's former names included Zheng Xiaomei, Zheng Jieying, and Zheng Jiajia, but not Wang Quanzhen.

Okay, it’s not Zheng Meilin.

That means there is at least one more victim.

And it should be nearby, otherwise the system task would not be triggered for no reason.

Su Xiaoxiao was thinking as she walked up the stairs. Suddenly, she smelled a very faint foul smell in her nose. If she didn't have an excellent sense of smell, she might not have been able to detect it at all.

That was the smell of death, and the third victim appeared.
