Rakish Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 672: Homicide Case
"There's a Male Martial Artist named Chen Gaoshi who's infiltrated Da'an City! This Chen Gaoshi is a Qi Refining Realm Fifth Level cultivator, who has already killed over a dozen people and sexually assaulted and killed five women."
"Moreover, this Chen Gaoshi is extremely audacious; the women he violated and killed all come from wealthy families, even from families of great prominence!"
"The higher-ups have said that we must capture Chen Gaoshi at all costs—dead or alive, we must see his body!"
Liu Ruyan frowned as she spoke and handed her cell phone to Li Qianfan to see.
The phone displayed Chen Gaoshi's information.
Although Chen Gaoshi was in his forties, the photo showed him to be refined and genteel, with silver-rimmed glasses, appearing every bit the learned university professor.
"He actually looks like this?" Li Qianfan said.
Ah Hua also came over to take a curious glance and chuckled, "Did you think all bad people would have a face full of scars?"
Chen Ya drew closer wanting to see too, but Liu Ruyan withdrew the phone.
Hence, Chen Ya showed a disappointed expression and even sighed.
Li Qianfan chuckled and pinched Chen Ya's hand to comfort her, since after all, Chen Ya was not a cultivator, nor was she from the Cultivator Administration Bureau. She shouldn't be involved in this sort of affair.
"So now we just..."
Li Qianfan had only spoken half his sentence when a call suddenly came in.
Li Qianfan pulled out his phone and saw that it was Chen Jianjun calling.
"It's a call from Director Chen. There must be something important," Li Qianfan said.
"Then pick it up quickly," Liu Ruyan said, feeling an ominous premonition.
Li Qianfan answered the call, and Chen Jianjun's grave voice immediately came through the phone.
"Mr. Li, are you available right now? I need your help with something. There has been a murder in Da'an City, and I suspect it's related to a cultivator!"
Half an hour later.
Li Qianfan, accompanied by Liu Ruyan and Ah Hua, arrived at a high-end hotel not far from the Jinwanlong Hotel.
As soon as he entered the luxurious suite, Li Qianfan saw two corpses.
The two bodies were of a young man and woman, both very young, and the girl was extremely beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, and a slender, graceful figure.
The male victim had been killed by a twisted neck, his head lolling to one side, while the fate of the girl was much more tragic.
Her clothes were torn to shreds, and she laid spread-eagled on the bed, with blood all over her lower body.
It was clear she had been sexually assaulted!
"Mr. Li, you've finally arrived," Chen Jianjun hurried forward to greet them.
"How's the investigation going?" Li Qianfan asked.
Logically, it should be Liu Ruyan communicating with Chen Jianjun, since she is now the head of the Da'an City branch of the Cultivator Administration Bureau.
But as Li Qianfan and Chen Jianjun were more acquainted, they handled the exchange and communication between them.
"The identities of the two victims have been clearly established; they were both students at Da'an City University of Science and Technology, the male was... just ordinary with nothing special."
"This girl's identity is slightly extraordinary; her name is Zhao Huixi, the only daughter of Zhao Yurong, chairman of the Xinglong Supermarket Group in Da'an City."
Paused for a moment, Chen Jianjun continued, "The male victim was killed by a twisted neck, while the female victim was strangled to death alive. The injuries on her lower body were traces left by rape... According to the forensic on-site examination, the girl was raped after she was strangled."
"That's too perverted," Li Qianfan said with a frown.
"I think so too," Ah Hua nodded in agreement.
Liu Ruyan had already walked over to the female victim, Zhao Huixi, checking the wounds on her neck.
After just a moment, Liu Ruyan said, "Indeed, it was the work of a Martial Artist. Although she was strangled, her cervical vertebrae were completely crushed. An ordinary person definitely does not have such strength."
"That's why I have invited you all over. Since the perpetrator in this case is a cultivator, I will have to trouble you all," Chen Jianjun said politely.
Li Qianfan, Liu Ruyan, and Ah Hua started to examine the scene thoroughly, looking for clues.
However, they found nothing.
Chen Jianjun remarked on the side, "Although the murderer left many biological components inside Zhao Huixi and on the bed, enough for us to identify who the perpetrator is, knowing who he is does not mean we can find and capture him."
"Is the murderer a man named Chen Gaoshi?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Yes," Chen Jianjun nodded.
Then Chen Jianjun said, "It's truly tragic for this Zhao Huixi. Yesterday was her birthday, so she specifically came out of school to book a room with her boyfriend, and it turned out like this. Sigh, I still haven't notified her family, and I don't know how to explain it to Boss Zhao."
"Yesterday was her birthday?"
Ah Hua frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Ruyan, let me see the file on Chen Gaoshi."
"What did you find?"
Liu Ruyan asked as she took out her phone.
After Ah Hua took the phone, she carefully browsed through Chen Gaoshi's information. After a while, her eyes lit up and she said, "Ruyan, Qianfan, look, the previous five girls and this Zhao Huixi all share the same birthdate!"
"That's not right, they were clearly not born on the same day," Liu Ruyan said, puzzled.
"The birthdays in the data are Gregorian. I'm talking about the lunar calendar! Check the calendar now if you don't believe me!" Ah Hua said confidently.
Liu Ruyan checked the calendar and found it to be true!
The previous five female victims, along with Zhao Huixi, totaling six women, did not share the same Gregorian birthday, but when converted to the lunar calendar, they were all born on the same day!
They were all born on the 15th of the seventh lunar month, which coincides with the Ghost Festival!
"All the female victims were born on the Ghost Festival, I get it now!"
Li Qianfan smiled and continued, "Women naturally possess Primordial Yin Qi in their bodies, but for some women, it is very weak, while for others, it is abundant. Women born on the Ghost Festival tend to have particularly strong Primordial Yin Qi!"

"This Chen Gaoshi must have cultivated some sort of Replenishing Method, that's why he raped and killed these women born on the Ghost Festival, forcibly extracting the Primordial Yin Qi from their bodies!"
"And Chen Gaoshi is also perverted, only targeting young and beautiful women of high status!"
With the clue at hand, the next step was easier.
Liu Ruyan, Li Qianfan, and Ah Hua immediately accompanied Chen Jianjun to the Da'an City Police Bureau, using the household registration system of the police bureau to conduct a verification and comparison.
A few hours later, the comparison results were out.
Of the entire permanent population of Da'an City, there were two hundred and sixty-four women born on the Ghost Festival.
And the one that fit the description of being young, beautiful, and of high status was only one person!
