In the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, Yan Cha placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Wang Wan's tombstone.
I don’t know what means Yao Yao used to obtain Wang Wan’s death certificate in advance, and this desolate tombstone is all that is left in the woman’s life. How ridiculous, no matter how beautiful she is, she can’t escape turning into a handful of loess in the end.
Destiny? But even so, a woman's obsession with beauty has never changed at the last moment.
He didn't know about the contract between Wang Wan and Dongfang Yaoyao until a long time later. In fact, Yan Sha was vaguely aware of it as early as the afternoon when his mother abandoned him. However, Yaoyao's personal admission was completely different from his own speculation. At that time, his career was
I was at a low point, and when I heard this news, I became even more depressed.
Wang Wan traded her son for her beauty, became a celebrity in the entertainment industry again, and secured her position as a movie queen.
When he asked Yaoyao about this, he pried it out of the woman's mouth. He even suspected that Dongfang Yaoyao would have planned to hide it from him for the rest of his life if he hadn't pressed him.
The bond between the two was originally formed by a contract, but Dongfang Yaoyao had always deliberately concealed this and raised him as his own child. Yan Sha even felt that Dongfang Yaoyao was despicable.
If he had known from the beginning that it was just an exchange of interests, he would definitely not have handed over everything he had so quickly, let alone be so caring to her.
In the final analysis...she just wanted to make her true bond strong enough to prevent him from completely leaving her side!
But he couldn't blame her. Maybe this was his fate. It was his misfortune to fall into the hands of this woman, but he was willing to do so.
Yan Sha half-knelt to put the bouquet away and worshiped again. Now he didn't have much resentment towards Wang Wan in his heart, but more of melancholy. It was this melancholy that prompted him to come over and come to her.
Say goodbye to her at the grave.
But when he thought of the scene he had seen in Xiangyou Xinsheng before, and of the hesitation in Dongfang Yaoyao's eyes when he was dealing with his departure or stay, he felt uncontrollably irritated.
Why was it that she was the one who caught him in the first place, and now she is the one who wants to let go!?
Shaking his head violently, he tried to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, but the look in his eyes still lingered. How many times would he have to say it before she would believe it? How far would he have to go before she would admit it? He was willing to spend the rest of his life together.
She is the only one who loves him, and she is the only one who he wants to stay with forever!
Race, identity, lifespan...are those really the obstacles that must be placed before this relationship?
"Yansha."
An all-too-familiar voice appeared in his ears. Yan Sha raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met Dongfang Yaoyao's flamboyant phoenix eyes. She was still dressed in fiery red, just like the first time they met that day.
It's not a joke, her call this time was extremely deep and solemn. It was so serious that Yan Sha's whole body trembled - was she leaving... no, was she letting herself leave?
Such speculation made Yan Sha nervous, but he did not dare to think more, for fear that what he least expected would come true in an instant.
But she just glanced briefly at the bouquet he placed on the tombstone, and slowly approached, with a look of guilt in her eyes——
"Do you blame me?"
She had never been a white lotus flower, and it was impossible for her to pity a woman who almost killed her. But for Yan Cha, she compromised and became even more shaken. She even began to doubt whether her decision back then was correct, letting a six-year-old
The child leaves his biological mother and lets him live in a completely different environment...
But Yan Sha did not live up to anyone's expectations. He was excellent, dazzlingly excellent, enough for Dongfang Yaoyao to boast to anyone. Because of this, she decided to respect his choice——
Her Xiaosha is also an adult. As long as he wants to leave... no matter how reluctant he is to leave, she, Dongfang Yaoyao, will not say another word.
"You decide whether to go or stay... If you blame me, you can..."
Dongfang Yaoyao couldn't say what happened next. This was a child she had raised with her own hands, so it was certain that she would not let go.
But after all, he was different from her, and she could not continue to influence Yan Sha's life as a normal human being for her own selfish desires.
When it’s time to break, it’s time to break! This is her oriental Yaoyao style!
The determination and reluctance on the woman's face caught Yan Sha's eyes, and he grabbed her wrist and asked -
"So what? What do you think?"
The young man's overly handsome face was reflected in Dongfang Yaoyao's eyes, and she could see her dull self through his eyes.
Such concentration and deep affection make one unable to say any cruel words.
"I... don't want you to leave."
After Dongfang Yaoyao said these words out of nowhere, his face burned like a cloud of fire, turning red all the way to the root of his neck, and his whole face looked like a ripe tomato.
When she expressed her truest thoughts deep in her heart, Yan Sha's heart was filled with joy and happiness. He suddenly covered Dongfang Yaoyao's lips and pressed an extremely deep kiss across his hands.
What you kiss is the most real body in limited time, and what you kiss is the most sincere promise in infinite time.
He would protect her in his own way, and she had always respected him in this way, but this time the woman's little selfishness made him feel sincere joy and happiness. There was simply no happier moment than this moment.
He slowly let go of his hand, looked at Dongfang Yaoyao who was already sluggish, and mustered up the courage to reach out and hug her into his arms - the woman's unique fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, and he was intoxicated by it.
"Then don't leave. If you don't drive me away... I won't leave for the rest of my life!"
Dongfang Yaoyao was in a daze for a moment, and then he hugged Yan Sha back and laughed out loud——
"Okay, I will never drive you away in this life!"
In the afternoon of early summer, just like the first time the two met, the vows made by the two of them were once again concluded. This time, they would never let go again.
"Haa~~~" Dongfang Yaoyao yawned, stretched and fell back on the rocking chair. Gui Ming was fanning him beside him, feeling a slight chill. He picked up a piece of ice-skin flower jelly and put it in
In her mouth, chewing slowly, the fragrance and coolness of the flower jelly entered her stomach, and the woman couldn't be more comfortable.
After that, the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention Yan Sha's departure, and the young man also knew that he should give her some space, and he also started busy with his career, and returned to his normal state after being reborn.
And just when everything was starting to get back on track, one murder after another still caused an irreversible storm.
In this petty bourgeois time, the emergency report on the TV rang out at an inappropriate time——
"According to the available information provided by the police, the victims of the recent frequent serial killings in this city are all women with superior appearance, and the killing methods are extremely cruel. It is reported that the victims have all had their faces removed without exception, and their whereabouts are unknown...
"
Bu Tianxuan went to report on official duties. Of course, he said he was reluctant but still arranged a confession with Dongfang Yaoyao. He estimated that he would be back in three or two days. And there were no guests these days. Dongfang Yaoyao was living a good life.
Quite comfortable.
However, every time a victim appears, Dongfang Yaoyao's mood inevitably fluctuates.
At night, after dinner, Dongfang Yaoyao went to the room where he usually changed the faces of his guests. There were countless masks in the room, and several of them had large cracks.
The woman took off her mask, rubbed the cracks on it, her eyes were cold, and she let out a helpless sigh——
"Is that really true... It seems that this muddy water cannot be disturbed!"
Gui Ming also noticed Dongfang Yaoyao's abnormality, and walked into the inner room with a candlestick. The dim light made his handsome profile look particularly soft, and he cast a probing gaze at the woman.
"Master...the victim of serial murders..."
Since Dongfang Yaoyao noticed it, there was no reason why Gui Ming wouldn't notice it. Moreover, even if she couldn't obtain information from the police through special means, her mask could clearly reflect the situation of those contractors.
He is her shadow, whatever she thinks and does, will be clearly known to him.
Dongfang Yaoyao put down his mask and rubbed his frown——
"Without exception, they are all my contractors...and yet I took away their faces...it's really..."
Such an obvious crime modus operandi and weird murder habit, no matter how you look at it, it is all aimed at her.
Even if it wasn't directed at Dongfang Yaoyao, it must have been committed by someone who had some connection with her, but there were too few clues now, and she couldn't completely connect the whole incident.
In a corner of the city, in a room where you couldn't even see your fingers, an oil lamp became the only light source. A young and beautiful woman opened the door, followed by a middle-aged woman. From her face, which looked slightly vicissitudes of life,
I can vaguely see her charming charm when she was young.
But after all, no matter how well you take care of yourself, it can’t withstand the passage of time. Today’s women are extremely eager to regain their youthful appearance——
The young woman took a small bottle from the table where the oil lamp was placed and walked up to the middle-aged woman with a smile.
The middle-aged woman was also frightened by this weird atmosphere, and even regretted following this young woman here.
Back then, she made a deal with Dongfang Yaoyao, and transformed from a fat ugly girl into a popular goddess. She successfully married into a wealthy family, became a rich wife, gave birth to a son, and successfully secured her position.
But good skin care products and makeup can't cover up the traces of time, and just when she was trying to retain her beauty, this young woman came to her door.
She revealed the secret between herself and Dongfang Yaoyao at a glance, and claimed that there was a way to restore her beauty that had faded due to the passage of time. The middle-aged woman was also skeptical at first, but after Dongfang Yaoyao's incident, she had a deep understanding of this woman.
The statement actually began to waver...
Dongfang Yaoyao's method of making her contractor beautiful is definitely not something that can be achieved in this world, and the other party can see through her secret at a glance, so she must have the means and ability. In that case, as long as she can get her beauty back, she will spend her time again.
The big price is worth it!
But what the woman never expected was that such a weird fluke would cost her an irreparable price.
The young woman slowly poured out the liquid from the vial, spread it evenly on her palms, and then applied it to the middle-aged woman's face.
The middle-aged woman also frowned. She clearly smelled the smell of blood from the viscous liquid, but before she could think about it, she felt extremely severe pain. Then, her face slowly separated from the flesh and blood.
, and finally slipped down.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! My face!!!"
The middle-aged woman was twitching and rolling on the ground like crazy, her bones and flesh were exposed, and her facial muscles were all delicate and delicate every time she moved. She looked extremely terrifying.
The blood dripped all over the ground, giving off an intoxicating luster, and there was a sad beauty under the dim light. At this moment, the young woman was holding the woman's face that had just lost her face, and was very satisfied with her results.
"Although I'm already old, I don't have much demonic power left, but it's enough..."
She carefully put her face away. Her blood is also extremely poisonous to humans, and the ingredients of the Face-stealing Demon blood in it are not pure enough. There is not even a one-ten-thousandth chance of transformation, and the poisonous blood flows from the entire face.
At least there is no survivor since she committed the crime.
After watching the middle-aged woman slowly die in torture that was worse than life, the young woman cleared up the scene with satisfaction and left, leaving behind a shameless corpse.
Dongfang Yaoyao was destined to have a restless life at noon. She could not ignore the news about the appearance of new victims on the TV news, because she was holding a broken mask in her hand.
The woman's brows furrowed. Dongfang Yaoyao, who had always been lighthearted, was extremely serious at the moment. It was obvious that she was really unhappy.
It seems that she is aiming at the demonic power that resides in those contractors... But what is the origin of the other party, and how can she absorb the demonic power that can only be used by fellow mask-stealing demons... All of this is a mystery...
Just when Dongfang Yaoyao was about to get up and take Gui Ming out, Bu Tianxuan kicked open the door of Xianyou Xinsheng, rushed in without saying anything, and took Dongfang Yaoyao's hand and walked out.
But obviously, Gui Ming would not let him take her away like this, so he clamped Bu Tianxuan's wrist with one hand.
"Where are you taking her?!" Gui Ming's eyes also released a dangerous light, but Bu Tianxuan just turned back with a cold face.
"Where do you think I'm going to take her?"
"These things have nothing to do with the master! Without evidence..."
Dongfang Yaoyao suddenly spoke——
"Gui Ming, he wants to take me to investigate the murder case."
The black-haired man suddenly choked up and looked at Bu Tianxuan with eyes full of distrust.
And Dongfang Yaoyao patted Gui Ming's hand——
"Don't look so worried. He is still my contractor after all. How can I not know what he wants to do?"
Bu Tianxuan was a little impatient by Dongfang Yaoyao's tone, but he also became interested——
"Are you so sure that I won't take you to confess your sins?"
"Of course I know what I have done, and I believe you will not be someone who convicts you casually without evidence."
Dongfang Yaoyao's confident smile was very eye-catching to Bu Tianxuan, but he did not refute it.
The woman grabbed his wrist - smiling brightly -
"And I'm even more sure that you won't harm me."
The woman's calm look and firm words made Bu Tianxuan blush a little.
"Ahem..." The silver-haired man coughed twice, "Stop being so glib and follow me. Even if you are not the direct murderer, you will definitely have nothing to do with this matter."
"Yes, if we can't thoroughly investigate the real culprit, our store will not be able to continue its business~~"
Dongfang Yaoyao's half-joking words made Bu Tianxuan very angry——
"This is about human life! It has crossed the bottom line of heaven!" Bu Tianxuan saw Dongfang Yaoyao's completely unconcerned look, and said in a tone of hatred, "leaving aside the store, your own position now is also very
Danger!"
"So what?" Dongfang Yaoyao flipped his hair, "I can't live as seriously as you, I'm too tired~"
She didn't know the meaning of being so serious, nor the role of being too serious. If Heaven really wanted to punish her, it wouldn't be now, and even if Bu Tianxuan didn't come, she would be the murderer of this incident.
I definitely won't let it go.
Targeting her contractors and constantly stripping them of their face... Obviously, he was challenging her authority.
Bu Tianxuan looked at her careless look and wanted to say something, but he couldn't -
This woman may seem cynical, but she can always turn things around at the most critical moments. If you are confused by her appearance, you may very well fall into a place of no return.
"I'll go with you!"
Gui Ming will definitely not let Dongfang Yaoyao and Bu Tianxuan be alone, absolutely not!
Dongfang Yaoyao grabbed Gui Ming's arm with his backhand and dragged the two men into the room——
"Aren't you going to investigate the case?" Gui Ming was confused, but still let Dongfang Yaoyao pull him.
The woman turned back excitedly, her eyes emitting a sharp light, which made the two grown men feel terrified.
"Of course it's a change of clothes! How can you wear such clothes to investigate a case!"
As she spoke, the woman dragged the two of them into the room, and then heard the weird screams of Gui Ming and Bu Tianxuan one after another.
"Don't take it off——!!"
"Master... we can't do it here..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me and obey! Otherwise, don't blame me for being tough!!"
"Ah——!!!Dongfang Yaoyao, remember this for me!"
"Okay, just take off your clothes. I'll let you take them back next time!"
"Who would touch a man as easily as you?!"
When the two of them came out in modern clothes, there were red marks on their necks and collarbones. They seemed to have been drained of energy, and they suddenly looked very haggard.
Dongfang Yaoyao, on the other hand, was wearing a plaid shirt and a beret on his head. With only one pipe missing, he looked exactly like the detective in his impression.
Dragging the two exhausted men, Dongfang Yaoyao, full of energy, strode towards the door.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Team Zhang! A new corpse was found in the demolition area on the outskirts of the city. The face of the deceased was peeled off. Preliminary judgment is that it should be the murderer of the serial murder case!"
Zhang Ming frowned again after receiving the call, looked at the file in his hand, and sighed deeply——
"It's impossible to guard against it..."
Half a month has passed since the first serial murder case, but as the captain of the criminal police brigade, he has not caught any trace of the murderer. The security of the entire urban area has been seriously challenged, and the credibility of the police has also been questioned in various fields.
Serious doubts have arisen about the perpetrator's and ability. If the murderer is allowed to commit crimes in such a wanton manner, it is likely to cause irreversible serious consequences.
What these deceased people have in common is that they were all very beautiful when they were young, the kind that would inevitably attract attention, but other than that, Zhang Ming could not find any extra clues at all.
The murderer didn't know what method he used to get the victim to come to a sparsely populated surveillance blind area unprepared, and they still haven't found out the tool the murderer used to peel off the victim's face——
It stands to reason that it is impossible to use a knife to peel off the dough perfectly while the victim is still conscious. After all, it is impossible for the victim not to struggle in such pain, which means that it will be more difficult to use the knife, and according to the preliminary test results, the victim is likely to
This effect is achieved by using a chemical reagent and applying it to the peeled facial area of the victim, allowing the victim to peel off the facial skin while awake and under the influence of drugs.
Only this kind of speculation can establish the process before and after the case, but the strange thing is that the laboratory department is unable to extract any currently known poisonous components from the corpse!
It will take some time to submit for testing, but the pursuit of the murderer cannot be delayed because of this. If it is not stopped in time, there will only be more and more victims, and the pressure from the superiors will become more and more intense. Zhang Ming's spine is almost broken.
By the time Zhang Ming drove to the scene, the reporter had already wrapped up Xiao Yang, the police officer in charge of the preliminary investigation of the case, on three floors -
"Officer! Preliminary calculation of the number of victims has exceeded twelve! Will the number of victims increase in the future?"
"I...we are trying our best to trace..."
"Effortless pursuit? So how many police forces were used? How big is the scale?"
"This...this is not convenient for me..."
"Inconvenient? Is it inconvenient or has this matter not been taken seriously at all? Can the government really turn a blind eye to such a heinous serial murder case? Or is the efficiency of the police's work questionable?"
"This this……"
Xiao Yang is just an ordinary police officer. Now he is surrounded by so many reporters and flashlights. He can't even hold his tongue straight for a while.
Zhang Ming was also furious when he saw it. He rushed forward and pushed away the reporter who was obviously making excuses. He frowned and an indescribable sense of oppression was immediately released.
"If you want to know more about the case, please follow the formal procedures and interview the police spokesperson. Please do not interfere with the order of the investigation at the scene!"
This sentence was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. After all, Zhang Ming had encountered this kind of scene dozens of times.
These reporters just broke the news and hype, and did not pay attention to the rules at the crime scene. For them, the death of the victim was just a gimmick they used to increase their appeal. It would be better if they could involve something bigger.
Only in this way can they increase the exposure and traffic of the platform or media they work for. Especially now that the case is at a loss, they can also put on a layer of justice defender for their position.
However, Zhang Ming did not have the confidence to drive away these unscrupulous reporters, because he knew that once he had a conflict with these abusive gangsters without achieving any results, the image of the entire public security agency would be greatly damaged by their jealousy.
