The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 83: Gift

Views:

There were few people in the villa area, and a cordon had been set up outside the door. Several technical detective police officers were going in and out to take pictures and investigate the scene.

Ji Feng greeted them and handed Jian Jing a pair of shoe covers.

The two men entered the scene armed and went straight to the bedroom.

"At seven o'clock this morning, Liu Baofeng's assistant came to look for her, but the nanny said she hadn't gotten up yet. The two of them went to the bedroom to ask, and only then did they find her body. They called the police right away." Ji Feng told her, "The scene was very special, so you have to be mentally prepared."

He said, pushing open the bedroom door.

Jian Jing immediately saw Liu Baofeng lying in the center of the bed.

She is dead.

In the center of the chest, there was a beautiful dagger with a bow tied with a ribbon on the handle.

Pink bow with white dots.

At the same time, there was an upside-down book placed on Liu Baofeng's abdomen.

"Devil Doctor 2".

Jian Jing looked at Ji Feng in disbelief, and he nodded at her.

She gasped and walked over to pick it up.

The page I opened was the end of the first chapter of the second part.

Behind the lead type of "fin", someone drew a heart with a red pen.

It’s exactly the same as the poster from the book signing event.

Her mind was in a mess, her hair stood on end, her skin was pulled in pain, and her heart was throbbing, with a feeling of fear or excitement that was hard to tell.

After a long while, Jian Jing took a deep breath and calmed down: "Did you find out anything?"

Ji Feng said: "The man was very experienced. He destroyed the security system, sneaked into the bedroom, and then killed the person with a single knife. After he was done, he cleaned up all traces and left. He didn't leave any clues except this."

When the police first arrived and saw the scene, they thought it was the work of a professional killer. Only a killer would do it so cleanly and not take any property.

But when they saw the book, they knew something was wrong.

The killer had no feelings for the dead, he only took their lives and tried not to leave any clues, so he would never leave behind this book.

This is the murderer's sense of ritual.

And this sense of ritual usually becomes the death warrant that exposes them.

Ji Feng pointed at the dagger: "How do you feel?"

"Do you think this was done for me?" Jian Jing asked instead of answering.

Monsoon: “Obviously.”

Jian Jing sighed, unable to refute, and after a while, said, "Gift."

There was no need to think or reason. When she saw the bow on the dagger, the first thought that came to her mind was the gift.

A gift for her.

The second thought was: How disgusting.

Thinking of this, a bit of disgust appeared on his face. But Ji Feng looked interested and asked, "I think so too, but this is a bit strange. Who would take death as a gift? Is there any reason?"

Jian Jing asked, "Have you read my new book?"

"No, what happened?" he wondered.

"There was a case where a wife used a device to kill her cheating husband."

Ji Feng shrugged: "It sounds old-fashioned."

"Yes, and the time, names, and content in the story are all fictitious. Theoretically speaking, unless you have experienced the case of Yuhui Villa with me, it is impossible to guess that the prototype is Mrs. Qin." Jian Jing frowned, very troubled, "It's too weird."

The crime rate in this world is extremely high, and the story of a wife killing her husband is an old story, not to mention that many details in the story are fictional. Is it a coincidence that the murderer left a copy of "The Devil Doctor" here, or does he really know something

Ji Feng was shocked: "Have you told anyone about this?"

"Hey, Mr. Kang, screenwriter Xu, and Ms. Liu herself." Jian Jing thought without hesitation, "Why would I tell anyone about something without any evidence?"

"If he had been paying attention, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out. But this motive..." Ji Feng pondered, "It's a bit strange."

If it is a fanatical fan who wants to send a gift, they usually choose a more effective way, which is to send it directly to the idol's chest. Let the idol know that they exist is their appeal.

But there was only one book left at the scene. If it wasn’t Ji Feng who came, or if he didn’t know about the book signing event, would he have associated Jian Jing with it

Unless he knew their relationship, he was sure that this "gift" would be delivered to the owner.

While Ji Feng was still thinking, Jian Jing had already been attracted to the crime scene. She looked around and even lay on the floor to study it, but she really didn't find anything.

"The murderer really didn't leave any clues?" she asked in disbelief.

"For now, no." Ji Feng commented, "This is the cleanest scene I have ever encountered. It is comparable to a professional assassin. He is a difficult guy to deal with."

Jane was in deep thought.

"Ji Feng, have you finished reading it?" a fully armed female police officer nearby asked, "I have collected the evidence."

Ji Feng stepped aside: "Please."

The female police officer pushed him aside, carefully removed the dagger from her abdomen, and stuffed it into the evidence bag.

A flash of inspiration.

Jian Jing suddenly asked: "Um... can you show me the murder weapon?"

The female police officer was a little wary: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"The author of this book." Ji Feng helped her put the book away and said casually, "Just take a look, it's okay."

The female police officer then handed it over.

"Thanks."

Jian Jing carefully tore open the sealing strip and leaned over to take a sniff.

I didn't smell anything.

Open [Status Card·Five Senses] and select Smell.

The taste suddenly became strong.

The strongest smell was of course the smell of blood and metal, which made the nose uncomfortable. But among these pungent smells, there was a special smell that was stubbornly sandwiched in between, releasing a vague message.

Floral scent.

Lily scent.

Fuck

Jian Jing sealed the bag and returned it to the owner with a very strange expression on her face.

Ji Feng immediately stared at her, his eyes full of expectation: "What did you find?"

"No!" Jian Jing resisted the urge to confide. There were so many people at the scene, it was not a good time to tell secrets. "I'll go somewhere else to have a look."

Ji Feng stared at her: "Teacher Jian, wait for me, I'll go too."

The remaining female police officer held the evidence bag, hesitated for a moment, opened it and smelled it.

It has no taste.

Could it be that this kid Ji Feng was fooled by someone

Well played, you deserve it.

In the back garden, Jian Jing looked out at the entire villa, extremely confused.

Liu Baofeng is a master architect, and this villa has obviously been renovated by her personally. Even if it is not as perverted as Yuhui Villa, it must be a private residence with strict security.

The murderer sneaked in and killed the owner without alerting anyone.

Why would such a "powerful" guy target her

Think about Jiang Baiyan. His fans at most wrote some bloody words to intimidate him, but she is a confirmed perverted murderer.

Jian Jing remembered the scent of lilies again.

I can't be sure whether the scent is related to the flowers I put out yesterday, but it's such a coincidence that it still makes people pay attention.

Was he staring at her

Why

Is it because he has been solving cases so many times during this period that he has unknowingly provoked enemies, or is it a problem left behind by "Jian Jing"

If it is the former, Qi Tian is the only one wandering around.

But he was going for the sorcery route, and there wasn't a hint of cult at the scene. Moreover, that person had appeared at the book signing event before the Haunted House Show.

After thinking about it, it seemed like it was because of another Jian Jing.

Kang Mucheng also seemed to know about it.

Could it be that "Jian Jing" had encountered something special that provoked a pervert? He sent her gifts and flowers, could he be a suitor

Oh, then it’s not peach blossom, it’s carnivorous plant.

"Have you come up with anything?" Ji Feng stood with her in the cold wind for a long time and couldn't help but urge her.

Jian Jing: "He might be staring at me."

Ji Feng: "Tell me something I don't know."

She asked, “Will the people around me be in trouble?”

Monsoon: “For example?”

Jian Jing opened her mouth and then fell silent.

Who else is around her? Her parents are dead, she has no brothers, sisters or children, and the closest people to her are her boss, her classmates and the crime-solving enthusiast in front of her.

"It's okay." Her anxiety disappeared.

Ji Feng was silent, and he realized that he had just asked a rather hurtful question. But deliberately comforting him was a bit weird, so he could only say: "You should pay attention to your own safety, he is coming for you."

Jian Jing knew it, but she was not as nervous as before.

She is no longer the same.

In the past, she would have been terrified when facing such a hidden peeper, not knowing when she would be bitten by the other party, and she was always very anxious.

However, after going through so many cases, she gained not only skills and abilities, but more importantly, confidence.

Maybe the other person's ability is much stronger than hers, but she can grow.

Help Jiang Baiyan to let her know that she doesn't have to wait for the task to be released. By doing more righteous things, she can accumulate courage and contribution points and draw cards to arm herself.

The system gives her the potential for growth. She has clear goals, and unknown threats cannot hinder her. On the contrary, this will give her the motivation to work hard.

"I'm not afraid, just a little worried, but no one needs me to worry, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

As Jian Jing said this, she saw Ji Feng suddenly look thoughtful.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you think of 'fear'?" he said. "Gifts are meant to please you, aren't they?"

Jian Jing was surprised and asked, "Who would be happy to see such a gift?"

"Right." Ji Feng rubbed his lips and lowered his voice, "That's right, he gave you this 'gift' not to make you happy, but to scare you."

"ah?"

"This gift should be viewed in two ways. First, it fulfills your regret. You must be somewhat dissatisfied that Mrs. Qin killed someone but was not punished, right? He helped you solve the 'problem', which is to please you." Ji Feng's thoughts gradually became clear, and he said slowly, "But at the same time, he is also intimidating you and showing off his power to you."

Jian Jing calmed down and reviewed every detail of how she saw the "gift".

I had to admit: “Indeed, but why do you want to scare me?”

"I don't know about that." Ji Feng glanced at her and tried again, "Go ask your CEO Kang?"

Jian Jing paused and asked him, "Do you think this person is dangerous?"

"nonsense."

"Can I handle it?"

He said matter-of-factly: “No.”

"Boss Kang thinks so too," Jian Jing said. "He is a difficult person to convince. If he thinks this is dangerous to me, he will definitely not tell me."

This was only one of the reasons. More importantly, there was no clue in her memory. It was unclear whether the inherited memory was incomplete or whether "Jian Jing" herself did not know about this matter.

If it is the former, if I ask rashly, Kang Mucheng may become suspicious. How will I explain my amnesia then

It is better to wait until there are more clues and the deduction is 70% to 80% before trying to get information from him.

Without waiting for Ji Feng to find another excuse, Jian Jing changed the subject: "Well, now that he has found Mrs. Qin, is it possible that he will go find Qi Tian next?"

Ji Feng sucked in a breath of cold air, and held back all the words in his mind: "Teacher Jian, this is a bit..."

"Um?"

"You're shameless, aren't you?"
