Chapter 1027: I Have a Conjecture
“We’ve investigated the surveillance cameras nearby, but we didn’t find any useful clues. Apart from Chen Rao’s fatal injuries, there were no signs of a major struggle. It’s obvious that he willingly followed the murderer to the park. The two of them might even know each other. That’s why Chen Rao trusted the other party. He was caught off guard during the attack and died very quickly.” Huo Chen with a worried expression. “However, Chen Rao has few interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps. We’ve checked his phone and message records. He hasn’t interacted with any strangers recently.”
“In other words, with the information we have so far, there aren’t any suspects,” Quan Jue concluded.
“Yes, but we will continue to investigate. I hope there will be a new breakthrough.” Huo Chen turned to Chi Jiao and softened his tone. “Miss Chi, is there anything else you want to ask?”
“Didn’t you find anything at all at the crime scene?” Chi Jiao blinked curiously.
“We haven’t found anything so far. However, because the crime scene was in a public park with many people coming and going before the body was found, some of the evidence might have been compromised. We’re still investigating further. As soon as we have something, I’ll inform you immediately,” Huo Chen said.
“Thank you, Officer Huo. We can’t completely rule out the possibility that the murderer will strike again. Looks like I’ll have to get my subordinates to inform all the Espers to be more careful.” Chi Jiao looked at Chen Rao’s corpse. For some reason, she had an ominous feeling.
This was her sixth sense which she had developed after experiencing so much danger.
She felt that this matter was not over yet. The possibility of the murderer killing again was pretty high.
Of course, Chi Jiao was only guessing. She had no evidence to prove her opinion.
“We’ll leave the rest of the investigation to Officer Huo. If there’s anything, you can contact me immediately.” Quan Jue held Chi Jiao’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to lunch.”

Fortunately, Chi Jiao was very resilient. Even after seeing a corpse in the morgue, she wasn’t disgusted and could still eat.
After saying goodbye to Huo Chen, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue found a nearby western restaurant to eat.
Chi Jiao circled the pasta with her fork, thinking about the case.
“Are you still thinking about the case?” Quan Jue placed a piece of his steak on her plate.
Chi Jiao nodded and picked up the steak piece with her fork. She ate it and said, “Brother Quan, I keep feeling that this murderer’s appearance is a little too sudden. And he might commit another murder.”
“There’s indeed a possibility of this being a serial murderer. However, we currently know nothing about the murderer. We can only try our best to inform the Espers to be more careful. However, I’m more curious about where Chen Rao’s Esper aura went and why the murderer ate his brain and heart.” Quan Jue sliced his steak elegantly. From his calm expression, no one would imagine that he was discussing such a gruesome case during dinner.
“I’m also curious. I think we can start investigating from this angle. At the very least, we can lock onto a suspect,” Chi Jiao said as she leaned closer to him. “Actually, Brother Quan, I have a conjecture.”
