Chapter 933: The Little Heart
“But I heard that the police at the scene didn’t find any evidence of Espers. There’s no proof that this has something to do with Espers.” Quan Jue glanced at him indifferently from the corner of his eye.
Huo Chen looked a little troubled. “That’s right. This is what we’re most vexed about right now. There’s no evidence to prove that it was done by an Esper, so we can’t officially ask for 117 to help with the investigation. I can only come straight to Miss Chi for help.”
“Other than Espers, I can’t think of anyone else who can do such a terrifying thing. Officer Huo, don’t worry. I’ll cooperate with the police to investigate. After school today, I’ll go to the police station. I’ll take a look at the three corpses first.” With that, Chi Jiao kept the case information in her bag.
Huo Chen couldn’t help smiling when he saw that she was willing to help in this matter.
However, he quickly stopped smiling.
Quan Jue stood up indifferently and reached out. “Let’s go. We’re going to be late for school. I’ll send you to class.”
Chi Jiao immediately put away her serious expression and smiled at him, her beautiful eyes turning into crescents. “Alright!”
Huo Chen sat in his seat and watched as the two of them held hands and went to school together.
Looking at Chi Jiao’s bright smile under the sunlight, Huo Chen felt as if a piece of his heart had been gouged out. He felt empty and gloomy.
As the police didn’t want to cause any panic, Zhou Qiang’s death was not made public. No one in school knew of it.
After school, Quan Jue accompanied Chi Jiao to the police station to take a look at Zhou Qiang’s corpse.
It had been more than 10 hours since Zhou Qiang died, and his body was already stiff. Chi Jiao examined him and couldn’t find any external injuries.
Quan Jue also took a quick look at the corpse and concluded. “There’s no aura of an Esper on the corpse.”
Huo Chen looked at them worriedly. “Don’t tell me I am really overthinking things? This has nothing to do with Espers?”
The three of them fell silent.
If the deaths of the three victims had nothing to do with the Espers, there was no suitable reason to explain why their deaths were so strange.
Just as the trio was silent, the little heart suddenly said in a childish voice, “Master, Master, this person has the aura of Number Three!”
Chi Jiao’s eyes lit up. She raised her hand and covered the little heart. “Are you sure? Number Three’s aura is on Zhou Qiang?”
“Not Number Three directly, but the person who possesses its power. He probably used Number Three to kill this person. That’s why his body still has the aura.” The little heart explained in a childish voice.
“So, these three victims didn’t die by Espers but by an ordinary person who has the stone?” Chi Jiao asked.
“Probably? However, I haven’t seen Number Three in a long time, so I don’t know the exact situation. But the moment I find Number Three again, everything will be revealed.” The little heart continued to speak in her soft and adorable voice.
“Jiaojiao, who are you talking to?” Huo Chen asked uneasily when he saw her muttering to herself.
“Me, of course. Hello, Officer Huo. I’m the little heart.” The little heart suddenly spoke out loud.
