Chapter 4 Seven Prostitutes

"Eat? Cut someone else's out and eat it? That's too insane!"

Everyone wore an expression of astonishment. You really dare to guess anything.

Following that came disgust, because what was taken from the victim wasn't just the kidneys, but his "little bells" as well.

"This... there is indeed such a folk belief, so it's not entirely impossible."

No matter how unbelievable it seemed, it was the most reasonable explanation for now.

But...

What's with that look of anticipation on your face?

At this moment, Chen Mo's face showed a look of anticipation. As someone who had been on the front lines of gossip for years, he naturally loved such explosive events and was even more eager to know what happened next.

Adjusting his mood, he decided to speed things up.

"Why did the killer specifically target the victim? You have to realize that everyone on the street has kidneys, and since the killer committed a premeditated crime, it means the victim was a target he had decided on long ago."

"Let me see the victim's information again."

He had to see what was so special about the victim compared to other ordinary people that he would be chosen as the killer's target.

Soon, a file was handed to him.

[Victim: Yang Ming, age 30, unmarried, occupation: mover, elementary school education, no medical history...]

The information was very concise. Which item was the reason the killer targeted him?

"We also sent people to investigate the people who were drinking with the victim that day. They don't have any kidney-related issues, so they should be directly ruled out."

Captain Long reminded him of this, seeing Chen Mo looking at the social network.

"Yeah, I know it wasn't them..."

No need to think about it; as the people most suspected, Captain Long had definitely investigated them down to their underwear.

He flipped through the victim's file twice, but couldn't see any point that would make the killer interested in the victim's kidneys.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Captain Long, I'm quite curious about one question. When you and your wife consummated your marriage, how was the duration?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed expressions of astonishment. Holy crap, Chen Mo is too bold!

The next moment, no one dared to breathe, not out of fear, but for fear of missing any gossip.

"Are you serious?"

Captain Long also didn't expect Chen Mo to ask him this question. He was stunned for a moment, but meeting Chen Mo's expectant yet serious expression, he knew it must be related to the case.

However, after struggling for a while, he was still too embarrassed to say it.

Regardless of whether it was long or short, it wasn't easy to say! This was a matter of privacy.

But based on his reaction, Chen Mo already knew the answer.

"This file must have missed the victim's private life. Go check it again."

"The only factor I can think of right now for why the killer targeted the victim is that the victim's kidneys looked better than others in the killer's eyes."

"And since ordinary people can't judge whether a person's kidneys are good or bad based on their appearance, combined with the killer's many strange behaviors, he must be very poor in terms of sexual performance."

Captain Long thought about it, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Chen Mo meant.

The reason the killer targeted the victim was very likely because his own kidneys caused weak sexual performance, but he happened to learn that the victim's sexual performance was very strong, which is why he committed the murder.

And the question asked of him earlier was also intended to make him realize that the strength of sexual performance is a private matter, and very few people would voluntarily talk about it.

And the only people who would know are partners. Therefore, investigating the victim's private life was very necessary!

"You suspect that although the victim was unmarried, he had a girlfriend, right?"

"No, the victim's financial situation was very poor. I'm more inclined to believe the victim often supported independent female entrepreneurs..."

Independent female entrepreneurs?

Captain Long felt that he must be getting old, as he couldn't understand these terms put together at all.

He looked at a slightly younger police officer to the side and saw that he was also full of confusion.

"It means prostitutes."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. What kind of wild terminology was that?

But thinking about it carefully, it was quite fitting. The pink room was the company storefront; she acted as both the product being sold, the service personnel, and also the accountant collecting the money...

Half an hour later.

Xinba Village.

The perimeter was tightly sealed off by the local police station.

The moon, hanging high in the sky like a huge pearl, cast its light over the earth.

Three square-looking vehicles with the word 'Police' printed on them drove up close.

Looking through the glass, seven heavily made-up women between the ages of 20 and 40 were sitting in the three vehicles. As soon as the car doors opened, various scents of perfume spread out.

Although the victim was dead, his friends knew that he often went there.

Brother Mo really guessed it right; as soon as they checked his private life, they discovered that the victim often solicited prostitutes and had an extremely poor lifestyle. Small Liu thought to himself.

"Captain Long, Brother Mo, we brought a total of seven people, all of whom were frequent customers of the victim, Yang Ming."

The seven women got out of the car, not understanding why they had been brought here.

In the past, they would get into a police car, go straight to the interrogation room to confess the situation, and then receive a one-stop sentencing. This time, the process was different, which made them mistakenly believe there was room for maneuver.

"Please let me go, I'll do anything."

"Me too, you can do whatever you want..."

"In the car is fine too, anything works."

"..."

The chirping and twittering voices rang out; some had even taken off their coats.

Captain Long's temples throbbed as he watched: "Enough!"

A roar startled the seven women into a shiver.

"I called you here to have you identify someone. If you cooperate actively, I can overlook your affairs!"

Compared to the business in their pants, this murder case was far more important.

The seven women looked at each other, all showing expressions of surprise and delight.

If they were caught, they would be detained for at least half a month, and the company would lose so much money.

Following the instructions, the seven of them came to a black bag large enough to hold an adult.

The forensic doctor crouched down, unzipped the zipper, and revealed the head of the victim, Yang Ming, for them to identify.

—Ah!

Screams rang out. Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they still couldn't help but be afraid.

Immediately after, the seven seemed to think of something, their legs went weak, and they all fell backward together.

This scene aroused the curiosity of Chen Mo and Captain Long.

"It seems you know him." Small Liu stepped forward to ask directly.

The seven did not hide anything and quickly explained the situation. They were truly afraid, not just because they saw the corpse, but even more so because Yang Ming made them afraid.

"He was too intense. Every time he wanted to go for an hour. We were all afraid of him, but we couldn't refuse, or we'd be ruining our own reputation."

"Every time I finished his job, I had to rest for a day. He's like a starving ghost!"

As the words fell, all seven of them showed looks of agreement, and even a trace of relief. Of course, these things were not important.

What was important was that their words indirectly confirmed that Chen Mo's speculation was correct. The killer had targeted the victim because of his long duration, believing them to be golden kidneys, and thus committed the murder. As for how the killer obtained this information, it must have also been learned from them.

Therefore, the killer was very likely one of their customers as well.

"Separate the seven of them and interrogate them on the spot." Chen Mo gave the order directly. Captain Long's mouth, which had just opened, closed back up, and he nodded in agreement.

Just a few minutes later. Since there was enough manpower, the results of the interrogation came out very quickly...
