I came back from hell to plan a perfect revenge

Huh——

The wind blew up the crushed snow on the ground, and the night seemed to be covered by a white gauze hat.

The weather was getting colder.

"Hiss, why has the temperature dropped so much recently?"

In the security booth at the entrance of the villa area, the security guard rubbed his hands subconsciously.

Then, he looked into the villa area again.

More than a dozen beams of light were swaying in the darkness, as if looking for something.

"I don't know what a group of policemen are doing in the middle of the night..." The security guard muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he felt a figure passing by the security booth in his peripheral vision.

The security guard looked out the window.

However, in the dark night, there were no pedestrians.

"Dazzled?"

The security guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then looked into the distance.

Still no one.

"What happened tonight?" The security guard always felt that something seemed wrong tonight.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He just felt that there seemed to be something important that he had forgotten.

What was it? He couldn't remember.

But at this moment, he just wanted to get off work and go home quickly, not think about those messy things, and then lie comfortably on the bed and check his phone for a while.

He looked at his watch uneasily. The time was 10:38 pm.

There were still 22 minutes before he could get off work.

…

In the basement of He Chunpeng's villa, the flames burned the twisted body, emitting a strange "fragrance."

"Quick, put out the fire immediately!"

Zhong Haiyang ordered loudly.

While shouting, he quickly took out his pistol and scanned every corner of the basement with vigilant eyes.

"I'll get the fire extinguisher!" Cai Xiaoming rushed upstairs without stopping.

All the other police officers also took action at the same time, taking out their pistols to check around.

Soon, Cai Xiaoming rushed back to the basement with a fire extinguisher like an arrow from a string.

"Get out of the way!" Cai Xiaoming yelled and pressed the fire extinguisher towards the burning body.

Puff --

White powder gushed out and pounced fiercely on the raging flames.

Soon, the fire was suppressed and gradually extinguished.

In the smoke, the charred body gradually revealed its full appearance.

Lu Meihua covered her nose and walked forward quickly.

The body had been burned black, and there was a huge wound of nearly ten centimeters long cut on the throat.

The charred blood made the wound look particularly hideous.

Hiss!

Everyone took a breath of cold air at the same time.

Xu Kun's hair on his back stood up!

At the same time, their hearts were also half cold.

Because although the face was almost invisible, it was still vaguely recognizable that it was He Chunpeng's appearance!

But, what was going on?

It was only a few minutes ago that He Chunpeng walked into the bathroom alive in front of everyone.

But how could his body suddenly appear here?

If the body lying here was He Chunpeng, then who was the one who went to the bathroom just now?

Was it a ghost? Or... the real murderer? !

But no matter which possibility it was, everyone felt a chill to the bone.

"It seems that we have lost." Lu Meihua said coldly.

"Damn it! Bastard!" Cai Xiaoming's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "That guy, he didn't keep his word. He said it for an hour, damn..."

His fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his joints turned white due to the force. He wanted to pull out the hateful murderer immediately.

"Xiaoming!" Xu Kun frowned and patted him solemnly, "The words of criminals cannot be trusted. Perhaps he did not intend to abide by the rules from the beginning."

Lu Meihua did not respond to them. She frowned deeply, as if she was trapped in a complicated maze.

According to her many years of experience in handling cases, this kind of high-IQ murderer is like a cunning fox, extremely conceited.

They often treat crime as a game, and will strictly abide by the rules they set, enjoying the pleasure of controlling everything.

But now He Chunpeng was killed in a seemingly illegal situation, which is completely unreasonable.

Since no one brought a camera, she took out her mobile phone from her pocket and planned to take pictures for evidence first.

Lu Meihua took the mobile phone and unlocked it skillfully with her fingerprint.

The moment the mobile phone screen lit up, the pale light was like a sharp sword, reflecting on Lu Meihua's face.

Her pupils dilated slightly instantly.

It was as if a lightning bolt suddenly passed through Lu Meihua's mind.

"So that's how it is..." Lu Meihua muttered in disbelief.

"Sister Lu? Sister Lu?" Seeing Lu Meihua in a daze, a police officer askedPatted her gently.

Lu Meihua suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and ran up to the first floor hall with a cold face.

Several police officers who didn't know what was going on followed her quickly.

The living room was surprisingly quiet.

Under the warm yellow light, the pointer on the huge wall clock was still beating mechanically.

Lu Meihua stood under the wall clock, staring at the time on it.

10:52.

The golden pointer was particularly clear under the light.

Then, she lowered her head with difficulty, as if she was bearing a heavy burden.

She looked at the time displayed on the mobile phone screen - 10:42.

The two times intertwined in her mind, intertwining part of the truth.

In an instant, Lu Meihua understood everything.

The masked man did not break the rules at all!

He used a time game to mislead everyone.

The wall clock in the villa had been tampered with long ago, and the time was set forward by a full ten minutes.

From the beginning, everyone was trapped in the time maze set by the murderer.

The police judged the time based on the wall clock that was set forward, mistakenly thinking that an hour had passed, and slightly relaxed their vigilance.

And the masked man used these ten extra minutes "out of thin air" to kill He Chunpeng!

When the masked man called the police, he once said a sentence.

[This game is called... Who is the murderer?]

Now, Lu Meihua understands the meaning of this sentence.

But... Lu Meihua doesn't understand.

How did the murderer get into the villa?

What about the "person" who looks exactly like He Chunpeng?

In addition, setting the clock time ten minutes forward may seem clever, but in fact, it is a very dangerous strategy.

Because as long as anyone takes a look at the time on the phone or watch, this plan will fall apart.

Why did the masked man use this method?

Lu Meihua looked up at the clock.

The seemingly ordinary pointer mechanical device seemed to be the core hub of the entire case, connecting countless clues hidden in the dark.

While they were misled by various information,

the murderer stood in the dark, watching the movement of the clock hands, controlling the entire situation like a puppet.
