From Hokage to Visionary

Adam examined the bodies of the victims in the police station and said, "The victims' social relationships were basically single or divorced. We can now confirm that the murderer's target range is 25 to 30 years old, blonde, young, single or divorced women."

"How did he know that the victims were all single parents or divorced?"

Chu Zihang frowned slightly and keenly discovered the key point.

If the murderer only targeted pregnant women, then their blonde hair and young age might be discovered through observation. However, their social relationship as a single parent or divorced couple is not information that can be obtained through simple observation. He must have the corresponding information channels.

"Hospital."

Adam pushed up the frame of his glasses and smiled, "When the patient checks in, the hospital will leave information."

I don't know when he put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which, combined with his already gentle smile, made him look even more elegant.

"doctor?"

Chu Zihang guessed.

"No, it's not a doctor." Adam shook his head and said, "If it was a doctor, then the crime scene would most likely be fixed. It should be someone else."

"Who else?"

Chu Zihang thought about it and decided that although the range of options was not large, it was definitely not small.

"You'll know if you go and see it?"

Adam said lightly with a smile on his lips.

The focus of the investigation task was placed on people in major hospitals who had access to "patient information".

Soon, the executive department targeted a group of people, namely "care workers".

Most caregivers are generally employed by patients or their families, but a small number are directly employed by hospitals and are responsible for assisting nurses in daily care of patients. These people can easily access patient information and often change their work locations due to the content of their work.

Now that the target group has been determined, the next step will be much easier.

Susie officially appeared and, after being carefully dressed up, was admitted to the hospital nursing room as a 29-year-old single unmarried mother.

Chu Zihang naturally disguised himself as a gynecologist and sneaked into the hospital to protect the 'bait' Susie. As for Adam, he and another specialist, Freya, formed a 'couple team' and lived in the next ward to respond to emergencies.

As for the other executive department specialists, they were arranged in the periphery to avoid alerting the enemy.

Although the bait met the murderer's selection criteria, no one was sure whether the murderer would show up, so with Raymond's intervention, using the power of the local police station, all other subjects who met the criteria were temporarily removed from the hospital database as quietly as possible.

In this way, the only thing that meets the requirements in the short term is the bait.

Of course, all of the above are requests from Adam. Everyone can obviously sense that the plan does not seem so reliable, but the latter is still confident.

Raymond, who believed in the principal's choice, had no choice but to trust Adam and made corresponding arrangements.

"How likely do you think it is to succeed in this way?"

Susie, who could only lie in bed pretending to be pregnant, was a little bored and asked while chewing an apple.

Chu Zihang, who was pretending to be a doctor, wrote on the board in his hand without looking up. He said, "According to the plan of the execution department, the possibility of leading out the murderer is less than 20%."

"So low?"

Susie blinked, a little distressed: "Then I pretended in vain?"

"If you were the murderer and found out that there was only one person who met the selection criteria in all the hospitals in Brooklyn, what would you think?" Chu Zihang asked back.

"I think it's a trap?" Susie thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, his selection criteria are strict, maybe this is normal?"

"That's right, but there's still a chance it's a trap."

Chu Zihang closed the recording board, raised his eyelids, looked at Susie on the bed, and said lightly: "If it were me, I would immediately move away after realizing that it might be a trap."

"Then why make this plan?"

Susie was even more confused.

Freya in the next room was also asking Adam the same question.

"Since you know the murderer won't be fooled, why do you still use this method?" Freya has elf-like blue eyes, curly golden wavy hair, and trembling long eyelashes, which add a bit of mystery and charm. She asked in a standard London accent.

“It’s a provocation.”

Adam sat beside the bed, handed over the peeled apple and chuckled.

"provocative?"

Freya took the apple, took a small bite, chewed it slowly, and then asked, "But how do you know that he will definitely accept your provocation?"

According to normal logic, would a cunning murderer be stupid enough to accept the provocation after realizing that it was a trap?

The answer is: very unlikely, impossible.

This is also the main point of doubt among Freya, Susie, Chu Zihang and the entire executive department.

However, facing this question, Adam maintained a mysterious smile and placed the knife in his hand on the bedside table: "Believe me, he will."

"What's the reason? I need a convincing reason."

Freya frowned slightly, her tone hinting at distrust: "You should know that our time is precious. If we waste it here and fail to catch the murderer, but instead increase the number of victims, it will be a major blow to the reputation of the Kassel Academy Executive Department."

"Reasons, of course."

Adam smiled and said, "The interval between each attack by the murderer is probably no more than a month. Guess why?"

Freya shook her head and said uncertainly: "Escape from the police?"

"It's a cooling-off period. After each killing, he will get a moment of satisfaction, but it's time-limited, about a month." Adam took a deep look at the girl and continued, "But desire is like a beast. Once you choose to loosen the reins that control the beast and let your reason slide into the abyss, you will inevitably become a puppet of desire."

“So, here comes the question.”

He chuckled and said, "What will happen if desire overcomes reason again and you can't find someone to vent it on?"

"He'll take risks and choose someone he shouldn't."

A flash of inspiration came to Freya's mind, and she immediately understood his approach, but she was still a little skeptical: "But how can you be sure that he won't be able to help himself? What if he tries to help himself, or chooses another area? Wouldn't that alert the enemy?"

"Yeah, of course he could choose to go somewhere else."

Adam looked out the window and said calmly, "But if I were him, I would definitely choose this place."

"why?"

Freya asked.

"Normally, if a hybrid with awakened blood knew of our existence, they would never do such an eye-catching thing." Adam said, "Don't you think that the traces he left behind every time he committed a crime are like showing off? He is very smart and cunning, but also very proud and arrogant."

"He is provocative, using what he considers to be 'art' behavior to 'show' his masterpiece to everyone."

"But now, someone is trying to destroy such a masterpiece. In his eyes, these destroyers are nothing more than a trap set by some mortal police. Why should he, who has power over humans, give in to mortals?"

"What would you do if a group of disgusting insects gathered at your feet?"

Adam asked.

"Stomp them to death."

Freya was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became complicated: "I understand what you mean. He regards us all as the next 'artwork', right?"

"shush"

At this moment, Adam suddenly raised a finger, put it to his lips, and said with a smile: "He's here."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Freya's muscles tensed up immediately, and a fiery golden color seemed to emerge from the depths of her azure pupils.

At the same time, Chu Zihang in the next ward seemed to sense something. His eyes suddenly became sharp and his aura suddenly surged, like a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"what happened?"

Susie asked.

"Murderous."

Chu Zihang stared at the door, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and said in a low voice: "Just now outside the door, there was an obvious murderous aura directed at us."

"The murderer?"

Susie suddenly became nervous and asked, "Are we exposed?"

"No, we were exposed from the beginning."

Chu Zihang thought about it and simply stopped pretending. He pulled out the alchemical sword from under the bed and said, "Temporary command center, prepare to evacuate the people. Wait a minute. There might be a lot of noise."

However, all that came out of the headphones was a harsh rustling sound.

At the same time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and several disheveled people, roaring like crazy, rushed towards them with their fangs and claws bared.

Su Qian was about to take action, but was stopped by Chu Zihang. He had no expression on his face, but he was calm and composed. His clear voice drowned out the noise: "Don't do it. These are ordinary people. The real murderer has not appeared. These people are under control."

Susie's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "Unknown Words?"

Chapter 273 The biggest trouble is Chu Zihang

"Everyone, please be aware, there is an unknown disturbance in the hospital!"

Raymond discovered through the monitor that the entire hospital population seemed to be in a state of frenzy, and immediately tried to use the radio to warn the executioners.

However, there was only a harsh rustling sound coming from the wireless headset, and the communication system was affected by unknown reasons.

Through the surveillance camera, one can see that the entire hospital is in chaos. Patients, doctors and nurses are like mad beasts, emitting meaningless roars and rushing to the third floor like possessed. That is the floor where the four undercover agents are.

"Undercover team, please reply!"

Raymond's forehead was bulging with veins, and he had an ominous premonition. He continued to call on the radio: "Chu Zihang! Susie! Freya! Adam! Damn it! Surveillance team, rush in!"

After receiving the order from the temporary combat command room, the members of the surveillance team who had been lurking in the surroundings for a long time immediately rushed out like arrows and broke into the hospital from various directions.

"Attention all combatants, do not disperse!" Raymond was very experienced and knew that this was an enemy conspiracy, so he warned everyone: "The target is the undercover team members on the third floor. While ensuring your own safety, try not to harm ordinary people. Do you understand?"

"Command room, we can't get in!"

"These ordinary people are crazy. Once we try to charge forward, we will be attacked. Damn it. There is no way to fight back!"

"Report, Group B's breakthrough failed. We have been stopped."

On the radio communication channel, Raymond heard the news that one team member after another had failed.

boom!

Raymond punched the table in anger, his eyes seemed to be burning with golden flames, and he stared at the surveillance screen with gritted teeth: "It's the Word Spirit. This guy's Word Spirit seems to have a large-scale hypnotic nature. He used these ordinary people as shields. If he breaks in by force, it will definitely cause damage."

"No, this is more dangerous."

Barron, the executive commissioner next to him, frowned and said in a deep voice, "What we should be most vigilant about now is that guy is mixed in with ordinary people, waiting for an opportunity to attack us."

Just as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the radio communication channel.

"Group B, what happened?!" Raymond noticed that the scream came from Group B, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

"Command room, we are under attack from the 'target'." A boy's voice came from Group B. He was panting, as if he had experienced a great exhaustion: "The target disguised himself as a patient, mixed in with ordinary people, and launched a sneak attack on us. Misha was seriously injured. Requesting a temporary retreat!"

Events really developed in the direction Barron expected. The murderer hid in the controlled crazy crowd, waiting for an opportunity to attack the executive commissioner who tried to break in.

Raymond immediately realized that this guy was indeed very cunning. In the previous crimes, he deliberately concealed the words of "hypnosis". This caused a huge loophole in their plan, which in turn suppressed them. He gritted his teeth and said: "All units, temporarily retreat and block the hospital exit!"

"Are you not going to take care of the undercover team?"

Barron next to him looked at him in surprise.

"We can only leave it to Chu Zihang and the others now." Raymond looked at the surveillance footage and said in a deep voice, "Besides, even if they are surrounded, the hybrids won't be killed by falling from the third floor. At worst, they can jump out of the window and we'll meet them outside, and then slowly find that guy!"

Since the murderer planned to control the crowd and fish in troubled waters, they should directly block the hospital and then check it one by one.

When the time comes, I don’t believe that we won’t be able to find anyone!

At this time, on the third floor of the inpatient department.

The ordinary people who broke in not long ago were knocked out cleanly and neatly.

Then, Chu Zihang blocked the ward door with the bed frame to prevent those crazy people from rushing in.

It’s not that he is afraid of ordinary people, he just simply doesn’t want to hurt anyone by mistake. After all, among the many mixed-blood words and spirits, the number of the words and spirits that Chu Zihang possesses is considered to be a high-risk level.

"What should we do now?" Susie seemed a little distressed and asked the calm boy beside her: "These are all ordinary people. That guy's words should have the nature of large-scale hypnosis. Now everyone in the hospital has become his hostage."

Chu Zihang frowned and looked out the window: "Let's go meet up with Adam and the others first."

Fortunately, when the inpatient wards were arranged, the two groups of undercover agents were very close to each other.
