Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 1

It was close to midnight.

“Murder!”

“Help!”

A heart-wrenching scream came from inside the Jiamou Shopping Mall.

At this time, the mall had long since closed, and only the Time Cinema on the tenth floor was still open.

The screams came from Time Cinema.

The elevator doors on the first floor opened, and people rushed out of the elevator, their faces filled with panic.

The police received a report that a madman was indiscriminately killing people in the movie theater, injuring many and leaving their fates unknown.

Criminal Investigation Team Leader Ye Jiuzhou quickly led his team to the scene.

Although they were mentally prepared, the horrific scene still shocked them.

Time Cinema is not large, with eight screening rooms connected by a narrow corridor and only one exit.

The madman killed people just as the movie was ending.

He stood in the queue at the entrance, and no one thought anything of it, until he pulled a knife from his pocket and slashed at the people leaving the venue.

Five or six people were lying in the passageway, and there was blood splattered everywhere on the ground and walls.

At that moment, Wang Chen, the owner of the cinema, was dragging a girl out of the passageway. Both the girl and he were covered in blood.

Upon seeing the police, Wang Chen dropped the girl he was holding and scrambled over to them.

“Officer, hurry! The murderer is inside! Save them!”

Without wasting any words, Ye Jiuzhou led his men straight in.

At that moment, the madman was blocking the bathroom door, banging on it with a knife while shouting.

“You bitch, come out here right now!”

Ye Jiuzhou and several team members flanked from behind, and with a lunge, they tackled the man to the ground. Ye Jiuzhou held the madman’s hand firmly, and the knife fell from the madman’s hand.

The madman struggled desperately, cursing as he was held down by several team members, who then handcuffed him behind his back.

Seeing that he couldn’t break free, the madman opened his mouth and viciously bit one of the team members’ hands, refusing to let go no matter how they tried to pry him off.

Ye Jiuzhou knocked the man unconscious with a single chop to the neck and ordered his team to take him back first.

“This guy must be a dog.” Zhang Jun rubbed his wrist, where there was a deep ring of teeth marks from being bitten, with blood seeping out.

The ambulance arrived just then, and the medical staff ran over with a stretcher.

Of those who fell to the ground, one was already dead, but the others could still be saved.

Hearing the commotion of the police outside, the people hiding in the screening room peeked out. Seeing that it really was the police, they gradually came out, their faces all showing signs of shock.

If they hadn’t dodged quickly, they would have ended up like those who fell.

When the madman was randomly attacking people, some people hid in the screening room, and some hid in the restroom. Those who were slashed were the ones who didn’t have time to hide inside.

Ye Jiuzhou looked around and sighed. The person had been captured, but there were still many things to clean up.

The boss, Wang Chen, was called over. He was still in a daze, never dreaming that such a thing would happen in his own cinema.

The film market has been sluggish in recent years, with movie ticket prices rising and fewer people going to the movies.

The cinema has been in a state of semi-death, and he has decided to close it after the Spring Festival.

Unexpectedly, two movies performed exceptionally well during this year’s Spring Festival season, with almost every screening sold out.

He actually saved the cinema from a near-death state. Every day, he would wander around his own cinema, looking at the packed screenings, and wrinkles would appear on his round face as he smiled.

With a large audience, the sales of snacks also surged, and the hall was filled with the sweet aroma of popcorn.

“That madman, I actually noticed him.”

When questioned by the police, Wang Chen did not hide anything; he still feels lingering fear.

“He came alone and sat in the corner over there, looking down at his phone.”

I glanced at it as I passed by, and the phone screen showed a WeChat chat window filled with question marks and exclamation marks.

He arrived quite early and kept sending messages; I think he was stood up.

It was the Lunar New Year, and he was quite pitiful. Out of kindness, I gave him a small bucket of popcorn, thinking that something sweet would warm his heart.

Later, when it was time to check tickets and enter, he stood up and joined the queue. Aside from looking a little listless, he seemed perfectly normal. But then, as the crowd left, he suddenly went berserk.

Wang Chen pulled up the surveillance footage from the movie theater.

The surveillance footage clearly recorded the scene of the incident; the madman first attacked a man and a woman.

The two looked like a couple. When they came out, the woman was holding the man’s arm. They were chatting and laughing, looking very sweet, and didn’t notice the madman at all.

After the madman cut them down, he charged forward with his knife, hacking at anyone he saw.

The passageway was so small that no one dared to rush through; they all chose to hide in the screening room or the restroom.

A girl was running slowly, and the door to the screening room was blocked from the inside. She frantically knocked on the door from the outside, but no one opened it for her. A madman caught up with her and slashed her from behind.

The madman first smashed the door of the screening room, but the door was quite thick and not easy to break open, so he ran to smash the door of the restroom.

Two girls were hiding in the restroom, and they were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried.

If the police had arrived any later, the madman would have smashed down the bathroom door.

When the two girls came out of the restroom, their legs were so weak they could barely walk, and they had to be helped out by the police.

A policewoman is taking their statements now; once they’re done, they can go home.

This case looks like a crime of passion. I wonder what triggered that madman to run away and take revenge on society.

Ye Jiuzhou made a copy of all the cinema’s surveillance footage, intending to take it home and review it at his leisure.

Tonight’s case is extremely serious and involves a large number of people. It will probably trend on social media soon. They need to hurry back and interrogate the mentally unstable person. This matter needs to be explained to the public as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the case is not difficult. The crime was committed in public and the evidence is conclusive. All that is needed is to clarify the cause and effect.

At that time, he did not know that the night was not over.

Lin Yue was one of the two girls hiding in the bathroom.

She didn’t know why she was so unlucky; she had just sneaked out to see a movie and this happened.

Actually, she had already seen this movie before; this was her third time watching it.

The male lead is one of her favorite actors, and watching the movie three times is a way of supporting him.

She didn’t dare ask her family to come with her, because when the movie was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she dragged her whole family to the cinema to support her idol’s film.

Being a fan of celebrities is her private matter.

In her family’s eyes, it’s absolutely shameful for a woman in her mid-twenties to not hurry up and get married, but instead go and chase after celebrities.

Therefore, she never dared to tell her family.

After giving my statement, I happened to enter the same elevator as another girl.

The two, who once comforted each other in times of fear, became estranged after the specific environment disappeared.

Both of them seemed to want to avoid the situation, turning their faces away to one side.

One of the lights in the elevator was broken and kept flickering like a will-o’-the-wisp, making people’s faces appear to light up and then off.

Lin Yue caught a glimpse of another girl’s back in the elevator mirror out of the corner of her eye. She was wearing a hood and wrapped up tightly, but it was still clear that she was a slender girl.

At that moment, the girl’s hood slipped off her head, revealing her beautiful hair.

Lin Yue shuddered; she only now realized that the girl’s back looked exactly like someone else’s.

However, the person she knew was already…
