Chapter 179: On the Red Change
The news reported that a fire broke out in the suburban villa the previous night. A total of four charred bodies were found. They were the higher-ups of the G.o.d-Slayer Society.
Once the report was out, there was a huge uproar.
Jack opened it and took a look. These people were the investors of the G.o.d-Slayer Society, who were also the parents of the four students.
But he didn’t find Peter.
“Hehe. Peter, are you still struggling?” Jack snorted.
The previous day, he checked the S-rank file and found that Peter was the one who hid the most. He was very smart and hid it from most people.
But that was all. He had already prepared an interesting game.
Turning off his phone, he opened the S-rank file again.
Ten minutes later, an explosive piece of news appeared on Twitter.

Publisher: well-known author, Ghost Wind Lord
The content on Twitter was as follows: I am the Death Inquisitor, S-rank file, number 13. You have four days to solve the case and only one chance. Four days later, the death notice will be sent out. Please look forward to it.

Ghost Wind Lord already had over a million fans. The moment he posted on Twitter, it was earth-shattering.
“Stop fooling around. You’re here to ride on the Death Inquisitor’s popularity.”
“Ghost Wind Lord, if you don’t write your book properly, the police might catch you.”
“Is this the meaning of giving the police a deadline to solve the case? Provoking the police? Isn’t this courting death?”
“Open the door and check the water meter!”
At this moment, Ghost Wind Lord was also dumbfounded. This was because he wasn’t the one who posted on Twitter. The most important thing was that he wanted to delete it, but he didn’t have the authority to do so.
“What?”
He was dumbfounded.
“It’s over, it’s over. He’s really the Death Judge. He won’t send me a death notice, right? I’m just a writer, and I didn’t commit any major crimes. At most, I’ll secretly write a p.o.r.nographic book. is that not possible?”
Actually, other than writing a p.o.r.nographic book, he had also previously stalked a certain lady. He had also secretly photographed a woman going to the toilet and slept with someone else’s wife.
Thinking of these things, tears immediately flowed down his face.
“I was wrong. I won’t do it again. I’m not a human. I’m a beast.”
Five minutes later, Ghost Wind Lord wiped his tears and repeatedly sent out a Twitter apology, thanking everyone for their encouragement and support. He explained that the previous tweet was not sent by him and that he could not delete it for the time being, or so he hereby declared.
“d.a.m.n, it’s really the Death Judge. It looks like Ghost Wind Lord has been kidnapped!”
“What does an S-rank file mean? Is there a way to explain it?”
“I don’t know.”
“An S-rank file is an unsolved case at the police station. The numbers are the codes representing those unsolved cases.”
“In that case, the host is preparing to solve the case within a time limit. We must resolutely put an end to evil. We can’t let murderers go free.”
The netizens were all boiling with excitement. This was a big show. Each and every one of them had prepared a small stool and were ready to watch the show.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Zero Major Crimes Unit…
After working for so long, everyone finally fell asleep. In the end, before they could wake up, they were awakened by the news on Twitter.
Ross said with a gloomy face, “Monica is right. Stealing S-grade files, the Death Judge publicly issued a challenge to us, openly challenging the law.”
At this moment, Anthony was flipping through the S-rank files. He frowned and was deep in thought.
“This is a serial murder case. The murderer likes to attack beautiful women in red on rainy nights. From 89 to 2017, he killed a total of 32 women. Due to insufficient evidence, it became an unsolved case at that time. “The clues that are valuable to us are a footprint and the hemp rope fibers on the woman’s body. With so little evidence, it’s impossible to find the murderer in four days.”
Ross had also read the case file. He was very clear about the case, but to admit defeat and bow to the Death Inquisitor, that was impossible to him.
His tone was firm and decisive.
“Why did the Death Inquisitor only tweet today, not tomorrow or not the day after tomorrow? And why did he choose number 13 instead of number 1 or 2? Is this a coincidence? No, this is his screening. He is confident that he can catch the murderer within four days. Why couldn’t we? We have the entire police system, the entire country. Isn’t it better than not having a Death Inquisitor?”
Ross was shouting. His will to not admit defeat had reached its peak.
This was the will to fight, the spirit of repeated defeats and repeated battles.
Everyone fell into a dead silence. They lowered their heads and did not speak.
At this moment, Monica stood up and said in an encouraging tone, “Leader Ross is right. No matter what the result is, we must have the belief that we will win. If we retreat at the beginning, victory will never come to us.”
Willie was also infected. “F*ck. We will do it. I don’t believe that with so many people and so many resources, we cannot defeat the Death Judge.”
“Me too!”
The voice was somewhat familiar. Everyone turned around and saw Loggins standing in front of the door with a bandage around his neck.
“Leader Luo, why are you here?”
“Ahem, I’m not the team leader now. Everyone can just call me Old Luo. Last time, because of my mistake, I lost everything. It was my fault.”
No matter what happened in the past, Ross still respected him. He looked at the wound on his neck and said, “Your injury!”
“It’s not a problem.”
Loggins smiled bitterly. This little flesh wound was nothing. The real injury was the one in his heart. He was unwilling to accept his defeat the last time.
He could have returned to the special homicide team, but he did not. He would pick himself up from wherever he fell, so he came back.
“Officer Loggins, number 002111, requesting to return to the team!” He stomped his feet fiercely and saluted with his remaining arm.
Everyone seemed to have been infected by him.
Ross also saluted back and said solemnly, “Return to the team!”
“Yes!”
Loggins returned to the team. One more person meant one more strength. Ross’s gaze became even more determined.
“From now on, mobilize all our forces. We must break through the serial murders in s.h.i.tan City within four days!”
“Yes!”
The members of the unit began to take action.
At this moment, the entire Internet started to take action as well. They started to search for relevant information and found many related cases. Among them, the serial murders in s.h.i.tan City were the craziest and most b.l.o.o.d.y.
Therefore, everyone started to discuss on the internet.
“F*ck! It must be the serial murders in s.h.i.tan City. I heard that a total of 32 women died. They were all young women with fair skin and beautiful looks.”
“I’m from s.h.i.tan City. I heard that the killer specifically killed people in red. It was a horrible sight. Their nipples were cut off, their lower bodies were cut, their organs were dug out of their wombs and filled with rocks. Until now, I don’t even dare to wear red clothes.”
“I heard that the killer was a fugitive. There are even some pictures on the Internet. If you have the guts, you can search them.”
“Reading about what you guys said, I got gooseb.u.mps all over my body. Now I want to hurry home and change into a red dress. It’s too scary.”
The case that was originally sealed was suddenly thrown into the open. While everyone was afraid and curious, they were also filled with antic.i.p.ation for the Death Judge.
“Host, whether or not I can wear a red dress from now on will all depend on you.”
“I’m planning to stay at home for four days. After I watch the live broadcast of death, I’ll change into my big red dress and go out. Nice.”
“I’m on my period today and accidentally dyed my pants red. Will I be targeted? I’m so scared.”
“Hey, don’t worry. Your period will protect you.”
At this time, Jack had just finished his breakfast and strolled around. He returned to his apartment and clicked on the news on his phone.
