276: Dangerous Lin Jia
Liang Yuzhu felt a bit helpless, but was also amused by Su Yue's attitude of clearly seeing the signs yet refusing to state it directly.
However, Liang Yuzhu also knew that given Su Yue's identity, he truly had no need to guess who the real culprit of a case was.
After all, to him, he was just an unrelated passerby, so how could he possibly know who the real killer was?
She knew that Su Yue was determined to hide his identity as 'Abyss'.
Liang Yuzhu could understand Su Yue's actions, and knowing that he didn't want to get involved in too many case-related matters, she didn't deliberately make things difficult for him.
She nodded seriously: "I understand. Next, Police will also do their best to investigate the truth, so as not to let more innocent people become victims."
Hearing Liang Yuzhu say this, Su Yue instantly realized what he had just missed, and his face turned pale.
"Lin Jia!"
Su Yue's sudden shout startled Liang Yuzhu, and upon hearing him mention Lin Jia so abruptly, she couldn't help but become curious.
She asked: "Lin Jia? Su Yue, is Lin Jia related to this case? What happened to her? Why are you so nervous?"
Hearing Liang Yuzhu's series of concerned questions, Su Yue, who had been full of tension from realizing what he had missed, calmed down quite a bit.
He took a few deep breaths, his mind racing, forcing himself to calm down first, and only then slowly sorted out his chaotic thoughts.
At this moment, Liang Yuzhu also tacitly did not urge Su Yue, waiting for him to explain what had happened to her.
It must be said that Liang Yuzhu, who had cooperated with Su Yue several times, truly understood him. During the time Liang Yuzhu waited, Su Yue quickly sorted out all the information they currently possessed.
As well as why he had suddenly mentioned Lin Jia just now.
However, because Su Yue had calmed down by then, although he was still very worried that something might really happen to Lin Jia, he still explained to Liang Yuzhu first.
"Captain Liang, Lin Jia once rejected Zhu Hua's pursuit, but because Zhu Hua made a bet with his cronies that he would definitely win over Lin Jia, he ignored Lin Jia's rejection and continued to pursue Lin Jia in his own way."
"Lin Jia was so bothered by Zhu Hua's pursuit that she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. Little did she know that after Zhu Hua learned Lin Jia had a 'boyfriend', he became enraged and started making things difficult for Lin Jia in various ways."
"Lin Jia has now resigned because of Zhu Hua's harassment."
"As for the photo I just sent you, that person is also Lin Jia's senior, and that person's sudden disappearance was also because they got involved with Zhu Hua."
"If Zhu Hua is truly related to these cases, I worry that the next person the culprit wants to target is Lin Jia."
"Just as I also discovered, the last time the culprit purchased knives was on the day I pretended to be Lin Jia's boyfriend and went to a gathering with her."
"The culprit is very likely to treat Lin Jia as the next murder target!"
Hearing Su Yue say this, Liang Yuzhu's expression instantly became serious.
Liang Yuzhu knew that Su Yue would not possibly hide such an important matter from her, meaning everything he said was true. Therefore, according to his deduction, Lin Jia was indeed very likely to become the next murder target.
At such a critical moment where a life was likely to be lost, Liang Yuzhu dared not stop for a moment and immediately listed Lin Jia as the most important protection target.
However, since this matter was ultimately just Su Yue's speculation, Liang Yuzhu dared not apply to her superiors for protection for Lin Jia without clear evidence.
With a stern face, she said seriously to Su Yue: "Okay, I know about this matter now. In the next few days, I will try my best to send people to protect Lin Jia."
"If we can take this opportunity to catch the murderer in one go, I will actively apply to the superiors for your significant contribution to the case."
Contrary to Liang Yuzhu's imagination, Su Yue's thoughts were completely different from hers.
He frowned, a little serious: "Captain Liang, I think there shouldn't be too many obvious people protecting Lin Jia at a time like this. This will arouse the suspect's suspicion."
Liang Yuzhu also felt there was some truth in what he said, but she was a bit troubled about how to protect Lin Jia.
"Then what do you think, Su Yue? Although it's difficult for me to apply to my superiors for dedicated protection for Lin Jia right now, since Lin Jia is currently the most important target for protection, I can't just stand by and watch something happen to her."
Not to mention that Liang Yuzhu knew Lin Jia, just seeing the mutilated bodies that had been unearthed, she didn't want anyone else to suffer such brutal and inhumane abuse.
It was just that the matter of Lin Jia possibly being the culprit's next target was currently just their speculation.
Based on mere speculation, Police would absolutely not provide protection for Lin Jia for this reason. And now was an emergency period, and Police were already short-staffed.
If she were to go to her leader at this time because of a speculation and say she wanted to apply for someone to protect Lin Jia, this matter would seem unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
Thus, for a moment, Liang Yuzhu was also in a dilemma, wishing she could split herself in two on the spot so she could spare some energy to protect Lin Jia.
Su Yue fell into contemplation, and finally made up his mind: "Lin Jia definitely needs someone to protect her. I won't joke about Lin Jia's life; she is truly in danger right now."
"And the people on your side, Captain Liang, are also not suitable. Leave the matter of protecting Lin Jia to me."
When she suddenly heard that Su Yue was going to protect Lin Jia himself, Liang Yuzhu was still a bit dazed, repeating blankly while holding her phone: "What? Su Yue, you're protecting Lin Jia alone? Can you really do it?"
Liang Yuzhu's obvious disbelief in her words was too apparent, although Su Yue also wasn't 100% confident about this matter.
But because this matter involved Lin Jia's life, he nodded with great certainty.
"That's right, I can protect Lin Jia well."
Thinking of something, Su Yue reminded himself while also reminding Liang Yuzhu: "Captain Liang, have you forgotten? I previously dodged that giant python with Tian Yuwei."
"That python was also very dangerous at the time. It was very fortunate that I could survive from the python's mouth with Tian Yuwei. Naturally, I can now also live on with Lin Jia, carrying this luck."

After being reminded by Su Yue like this, Liang Yuzhu also instantly recalled the scene not long ago where she was frozen in fear by the powerful Su Yue.
Thinking of the giant python thicker than an adult man's thigh, and seeing Su Yue speak with such determination, although Liang Yuzhu was still very worried about their safety, she didn't say anything more.
If she could, Liang Yuzhu even wanted to step forward and protect Lin Jia herself, but Liang Yuzhu didn't even have time to eat or sleep now, so how could she have the energy to protect Lin Jia?
Moreover, Su Yue was right. If strangers appeared around Lin Jia, it would actually only make the suspect more suspicious that his affairs had been exposed, which would disturb the culprit prematurely.
If they aroused the culprit's suspicion this time, then it might not be so smooth if they wanted to catch him again later.
The worries in both their hearts were the same at this time, and in the end, it was Su Yue who made the conclusion.
"Alright, let's leave this matter at that. I will protect Lin Jia, and I also hope that you, Captain Liang, can investigate and clarify the real culprit as soon as possible, so we won't have to worry about anything."
Seeing this, Liang Yuzhu didn't say anything more, just nodded: "Okay, I will investigate and clarify what's going on as soon as possible."
Now that they had such detailed information from Su Yue, for Police Station that had solved countless cases, the subsequent investigation was not a difficult task for them.
It was just that because there was a possibility that the culprit could attack the next person at any time, they had to speed up the investigation to prevent the culprit from actually harming the next victim.
However, Liang Yuzhu finally said to Su Yue: "Su Yue, if you really find the murderer making a move on Lin Jia, you must notify me immediately. Don't try to handle it alone."
The psychology of a murderer capable of killing more than ten people consecutively could no longer be viewed with common sense. If Su Yue accidentally provoked the culprit at this time, they couldn't guarantee what such a brutal murderer would do.
And although Liang Yuzhu had cooperated with Su Yue several times, and Su Yue had notified her the first time something happened each time, Liang Yuzhu still subconsciously reminded him to be careful, worrying that something might happen to him.
Su Yue knew that only by being alive could everything else be possible. At such a moment when anything could potentially change, he naturally cherished his life exceptionally and wouldn't joke around with it.
Therefore, seeing Liang Yuzhu remind him so seriously, he also wanted to ease the heavy and serious atmosphere they had just been in due to the conversation's content.
He replied with a smile: "Captain Liang, don't worry. I cherish my life the most. I will definitely notify you the first time I detect something abnormal. At that time, please also make sure to see the message promptly, Captain Liang."
"Otherwise, Lin Jia's and my lives might truly be in danger."
Liang Yuzhu could tell that Su Yue was deliberately acting so relaxed, and her favorable impression of him instantly improved quite a bit.
However, at this moment, she also made a very serious promise: "Su Yue, don't worry. As long as it's your call, I will answer it 24 hours a day."
"In the future, when I'm busy, I will also ask a colleague to help keep an eye on my phone, ensuring that I won't miss a single call from you."
The reason Liang Yuzhu was able to help Su Yue promptly before was precisely because she happened to be not busy at that time, which allowed her to rush to help him the first moment she saw his message and call.
However, based on the recent experience of not answering Su Yue's calls promptly, Liang Yuzhu knew that whenever Su Yue called her, it was definitely because he needed something from her, and she shouldn't miss his calls.
It was also because of this that Liang Yuzhu felt she should always carry her phone 24 hours a day, just in case she missed Su Yue's call.
Su Yue had originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Liang Yuzhu to emphasize and explain it to him so seriously, which instead sent a warm current flowing into his heart.
Although he knew that Liang Yuzhu cared so much about his calls because she didn't want to miss any information, hearing someone take his calls so seriously so suddenly still made Su Yue feel very happy inside.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "I never thought that one day my calls could receive such high-level treatment from Captain Liang."
Liang Yuzhu was suddenly teased by Su Yue like this, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that what she had just said was indeed very ambiguous. She immediately panicked and rushed to explain.
"No... that's not it, Su Yue, I... I just think your calls are all very important..."
"No, that's not right, it's every time you call me... Oh dear! I believe you can understand, so I won't explain too much."
The more Liang Yuzhu explained, the more she felt she couldn't make herself clear. In the end, she even got flustered by her own explanation and gave up explaining.
After all, both parties involved knew that Su Yue didn't care about this issue at all; he was just teasing her.
This was the first time Su Yue had seen Liang Yuzhu look so furious, and he became curious about her current expression.
It was a pity that they were separated by a phone call now, so he couldn't appreciate whether Liang Yuzhu was blushing because he teased her, or whether she was stomping her feet from being teased.
However, both these possibilities were too unfamiliar to Su Yue. After all, in Su Yue's impression, he had never seen Liang Yuzhu show any expression other than a cold face or kindness.
Now, he had actually made Liang Yuzhu angry from embarrassment just by teasing her. This was a very novel experience for Su Yue, and he had to admit that he was even looking forward to meeting Liang Yuzhu next time.
He was very curious if, when teasing her in front of Liang Yuzhu, she would become angry from embarrassment like she was now, and finally show an expression different from her usual ones.
However, Liang Yuzhu had clearly also turned red from being teased by Su Yue. After not getting a response from Su Yue, she didn't care too much, but instead said goodbye to Su Yue directly, and finally hung up the phone.
Holding the hung-up phone, Su Yue was still slightly dazed.
Finally, thinking of Liang Yuzhu's embarrassment and annoyance just now, which couldn't be blocked even through the receiver, he suddenly chuckled again, finding this kind of Liang Yuzhu quite novel.
However, Su Yue didn't keep his focus on this matter. Upon realizing that Lin Jia was very likely to encounter the murderer later, his heart became heavy.
Not to mention that Lin Jia had been his roommate for so many years and he would absolutely not watch her get into trouble, just the fact that she was part of the Abyss organization meant that as the founder of the organization, he would not allow his members to be harmed.
Fortunately, Lin Jia was on vacation and stayed at home, not going out these past few days, so nothing irreparable had happened.
As for whether Lin Jia could keep hiding in the house to avoid the culprit's pursuit, Su Yue was quite confident about this point at the moment.
At the same time as his underground intelligence room was established, he had already strengthened the defenses around the house and installed cameras at every entrance. It was absolutely impossible for the culprit to break in directly to commit murder.
Of course, Su Yue still had to explain the situation to Lin Jia and tell her not to go out easily during this time, or if she really had to go out, he must be by her side. Otherwise, she could let him do anything for her.
As for Zhu Hua, the culprit who made Lin Jia have to stay at home to avoid disaster, he naturally wouldn't let them off easily.
