The masked man stared at her.As he was wearing a mask, Ste couldn’t see his expression clearly.


    However, she could sense that the masked man knew her. Otherwise, why was he wearing a ne with her photo in it?


    “Speak,” Ste urged him again.


    “You wouldn’t want to know who I am,” The masked man said. His voice was low and hoarse, just like the sound of a cello, making people feel a faint sadness in their hearts.


    She dismissed that sadness and did not continue to ask further.“Thank you for saving me.”


    “You don’t need to thank me. You saved me this morning too, so we are even now.” The masked man said. He then turned around and quickly disappeared from the basement.


    Ste came back to her senses after that. She didn’t want to think about it or look into it. If she didn’t do so, troubles and worries then wouldn’t arise.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    She squatted down and tore off the mask of the man who had assaulted her.


    She had met that man several times. He seemed to be a salesman of the real estatepany next door.


    She gave Vann a call.“Vann, I’m in a bit of a situation. Could you please send someone to the basement of my clinic…”


    …


    After settling everything, it was 11:30 a. m. by the time Ste reached the police station.


    Everyone else had arrived too.


    She felt apologeticandbowed to the members of the group, apologizing.“Sorry, for beingte, lunch’s on me.”


    “It’s okay. We haven’t been here for a long time. We have all signed a private agreement,” Edwin said immediately.


    Ste gave Edwin a grateful smile.


    Vann’s assistant,Inspector Sheldon, nced around after entering and said, “Since everyone is here, I’ll talk about this urgent case first.”


    “Does it have anything to do with the serial murder fromst night?” Ray asked.


    “Yes, in fact, this is the fourth case this year,” Sheldon turned on the projector and continued, “This case is very strange. They are all families whose husbands have died. The murderer will always leave the youngest child of the family alive and kill everyone else. The children who survived are 5, 6, 3, and 2 years old respectively.”


    “So, the murderer didn’t kill the whole family,” Alissa interrupted.


    “This case is very special because the strangest thing in the case is that the murderer is the dead husband.”


    “What does this mean? There are four serial murders, but the murderer for all cases are the families’ respective dead husbands?” Hogward asked in confusion.


    “Yes, the confession of the five-year-old child, the six-year-old child, and the three-year-old child, all stated that their dead fathers came back to life, and then everyone died,” Sheldon frowned and said. As he spoke, he shivered; chills ran down his spine.


    “Go into more detail,” Ste stared at the screen intently.


    Sheldon brought out the documents of the first case.“This is the first case, which happened in March. The deceased include Angeline’s whole family. It consists ofAngeline’s parents-inw, Angeline, and her youngest son, a five-year-old child.


    The child said that his father died of illness half a year before the murder happened, but he hade back all of a sudden. He was very happy that his father came back, but his father told him not to tell anyone, and he stayed in the same room as the child. And soon, the child fell asleep.


    The next day, his grandparents went missing. He told his mother, but her mother refused to believe him. Then, his father returned and took the child’s mother away, and she never came back. But in the evening, his father came back again and slept next to him. When he woke up again, he found that his parents were missing too.


    Later, the child asked the neighbors around if they had seen his family. Their neighbors called the police after noticing that the situation was strange. The police then found 3 dead bodies in the basement. Angeline was r*ped by the murderer, but the murderer’s DNA wasn’t found inside her body.”


    “Were there any skin tissues in Angeline’s nails, or her mouth?” Ray asked.


    “No, Angeline’s hands and feet were tied up. Her mouth was stuffed with her own clothes, and she was strangled to death. After the investigation, the police found that she had an orgasm,” Sheldon said seriously.


    They were very open when it came to that kind of stuff, but Ste’s face still subconsciously turned red. She asked, “How did Angeline’s parents die?”


    “They died of poisoning. After investigation,the police found that they died of ingestion of hydrogen fluoride. Angeline’s parents all had high blood pressure, and the murderer mixed some hydrogen fluoride inside their medicine,” Sheldon exined.


    “What about the second case?” Ste said.


    “The second case took ce in May. It was Marry’s family. She was pregnant with twins when the murder happened. Her husband passed away in a car ident three years ago. She had a twelve-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.


    His son said that his father suddenly came back and said that he would take him out to y. Then, he fell asleep in the car. When he woke up, he heard from others that all his family members were dead.


    Marry and her 12-year-old daughter were stabbed to death by each other. Both of them were sexually assaulted, but the murderer didn’t leave any DNA in their bodies.”


    “Did you just say that the 12-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted too? Then, it shouldn’t have been done by her blood father. Is the murderer a devil? Or does he know how to polymorph?” Hogward raised his eyebrows.


    “Were there any financial losses?” Ste asked.


    “There weren’t any transactions on their credit cards, but we’re uncertain if there were any losses of materials in the house. The witness is just a child, and a child wouldn’t know anything finance-rted,” Sheldon exined.


    “What about the third case?” Alissa asked.


    “The third case took ce in July. Hayes was a pretty female model, but her husband was a hooligan. Her husband had a dispute with someone and was stabbed to death. They had a three-year-old child. The child said his father was back. The murderer had stayed in Hayes’ home for two months. In August, Hayes posted a sentence on social media, the sentence was, ‘I feel so happy, I want to be this happy as long as I live’.”


    “And then?” Alissa asked anxiously as she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.


    “In October, Hayes’ friend went to visit her. She said that she hadn’t seen her for three months. In the end, she found Hayes’ body. She was dismembered and all of the body parts were locked in the bathroom.”


    “What about the child? Did no one take care of the child for a month?” Alissa asked.


    “There was enough milk powder, biscuits, and snacks left. The child ate all of it for a month. When he was found, he was dystrophic, and his eyes were sunken, but it wasn’t serious.”


    “Were there no surveince cameras around themunity? Hayes is a female model. Shouldn’t her house have some kind of surveince?” Alissa asked curiously.


    “There are surveince cameras in the area, whichspotted the back of a man, but it didn’t capture the man’s face. There may be surveince in Hayes’ house, but we couldn’t find it. The fourth case was the onest night. The survivor was a two-year-old baby. Others were burned, and the autopsy report hasn’te out yet.”


    “Since he entered the house, didn’t he leave any fingerprints?” Hogward asked.


    “He didn’t leave any trace. It was like it was really done by a devil. We’re at a loss,” Sheldon said helplessly.


    “Ste, you’re a psychologist. Could youe up with a hypothesis after listening to these?” Alissa asked.


    Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ste’s face, waiting for her to speak…
