But it was also because his performance was too perfect that it looked suspicious!
Shi Kuo was able to maintain this level of composure and mental fortitude even after being identified by the police as a murder suspect. This was enough to prove that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
His mental fortitude was too strong. Even against the experienced Huo Chen, he managed to remain calm.
He had killed four people without leaving behind any evidence.
“Shi Kuo, you’re indeed very powerful. If I had known that I had rescued a homicidal maniac back then, I would have brought you straight to the police station instead.” Chi Jiao sneered, clearly feeling that it hadn’t been worth her while to save him that time.
Shi Kuo pursed his lips and said in a mild voice, “Senior, you’re a good person. You and Senior Quan Jue are not ordinary people. I can feel it. It’s a pity that I didn’t meet such good people like you sooner.”
As Shi Kuo spoke, Quan Jue noticed that he was caressing the scar on his left hand. Quan Jue said with certainty, “You hated them, so you killed them.”
Quan Jue’s words were not a question, but a statement.
Quan Jue looked calmly at Shi Kuo. He was very certain that he was the murderer!
Shi Kuo smiled without saying anything. He took a deep breath, and the smile in his eyes deepened. “I hate them. But you can’t convict me just because of my hatred, right? Senior, if you must pin this on me, please show me the evidence.”
“The stone is evidence. Shi Kuo, your stone isn’t with you or at your house. Where did you hide it?” Chi Jiao raised her eyebrows.
The muscles on Shi Kuo’s lips stiffened for a moment.
However, he quickly recovered and smiled. “You searched my house? Senior, that’s illegal.”
Chi Jiao almost laughed out loud.
A serial murderer was actually lecturing her? How ridiculous.
Chi Jiao stared at him and asked the little heart with her mental power, “Is it him?”
“Probably. He still has the aura of Number Three on him. However, Number Three is not on him now,” the little heart said.
Chi Jiao was worried. If they could find the stone, at least they could control Shi Kuo and prevent him from killing again.
But they had no idea where the stone was, so there was nothing they could do.
“Shi Kuo, it’s an undeniable fact that Zhou Xiaoyong and the rest deliberately hurt people. As long as you cooperate, they will be brought to justice,” Quan Jue advised.
Shi Kuo’s lips curled into an even brighter smile. “Senior, I’ve always thought that as long as I endure, everything will be worth it. But it seems like things are not that simple. Perhaps if I had met you two earlier, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. But I don’t regret it.”
Chi Jiao stared at him and felt intense pity.
She knew that Shi Kuo had killed people. Moreover, his methods were so cruel that they could be described as bone-chilling.
However, Chi Jiao couldn’t bring herself to hate him.
He didn’t look vicious or scary. Instead, he looked like a helpless and pitiful person. His current harsh attitude was just a facade.
“If you refuse to cooperate, you’re giving up the chance to surrender. Shi Kuo, have you thought it through? Is it worth sacrificing your life for Zhou Qiang and the rest?” Chi Jiao warned in a cold voice.
