Chapter 5: Zhu Sha
13, 17, 26, 31, 49, 2, E, S, P…
“What exactly do these numbers and letters mean?”
It was afternoon in S-City. Ye Xiao was currently in District T’s police station, sitting on the sofa of the Special Crimes Investigation Unit’s breakroom. He was eating instant noodles while blankly staring at the white paper on the glass coffee table in front of him.
This paper had been handed to them by Kang Wen, the younger sister of the previous investigator on duty: Kang Lei, while they had been at the mental hospital. She had stated that it might help them with their current case.
However, he had been studying the piece of paper for a long time now and had yet to grasp any secret.
“That serial killer in Nanshan Prison calls himself No. 13. If the 13 on here refers to him, then do each of the numbers following it refer to people as well? No. 13, No. 17, No. 26, No. 31, No. 49, No. 2…so six people total?”
Ye Xiao muttered this to himself as he chewed on his noodles.
The hot and spicy aroma of the ramen wafted upwards, pervading through the entire room.
Su Mu was silent as he reclined against the window and serenely drank his black coffee. He did not express any opinion and simply watched the people and cars passing through the street outside the window. There was no knowing what he was thinking.
