Chapter 74: Chapter 70: Your Cousin Was Deliberately Murdered

Seeing these bullet comments float across the phone screen, Zhou, holding back his inner grief, hurriedly asked, “Daoist, can you please help me calculate again, how exactly did my cousin die?”

“I want to know, did she die of natural causes, or was she murdered?”

Lu Heng, after a moment of silence, replied, “I can tell you clearly, your cousin was deliberately murdered.”

Earlier, when inquiring about Zhou Xinxi’s past information, he already knew everything.

“However, I can’t tell Young Friend Zhou who the murderer is for now, lest you do something foolish.”

He chose not to disclose the murderer for two main reasons.

On one hand, it was because the stream was live.

The live room had many eyes and ears, making it very easy to spoil things.

On the other hand, he feared that in a fit of excitement and anger, Zhou might do something foolish.

To think about others like this, poor me, with all my well-intentioned efforts!

Lu Heng almost moved himself to tears.

The viewers, seeing this, were all anxious and agitated.

They had already guessed that Zhou Xinxi had likely been murdered and then purposefully hidden.

But as to who the murderer was, everyone was clueless.

After all, nobody knew Zhou Xinxi and had no idea about her relationships.

“Daoist, why not speak about the murderer?”

“Yeah, we’re also very curious, who exactly killed Zhou’s cousin?”

“Don’t trouble the Daoist, it’s hard to talk about such things online.”

“Exactly, with so many people online, what if the murderer catches wind and directly escapes?”

“In my opinion, the Daoist should choose to call the police!”

“Daoist, why not let Zhou call the police, and we reveal the murderer on the spot?”

“That’s a good idea!”

“Agree +10086!”

“I want to know the murderer…”

Even the viewers were curious about the murderer, let alone Zhou.

“Daoist, I beg you, just tell me the truth!”

“I have been searching for my cousin for six years, and I truly can’t wait any longer!”

Zhou cried bitterly, pleading sorrowfully.

Seeing Zhou like this, Lu Heng also couldn’t help but feel a bit merciful.

The suggestions from the live-stream viewers also tempted him a little.

At this moment, it was not suitable for him to expose his identity.

If he called the police, it would be easy for the police to find out his identity.

So, after thinking it over, he decided to take the suggestion from that viewer just now.

Thus, he softly said, “Young Friend Zhou, why don’t you go ahead and call the police.”

“Once the police arrive, I will recount the case at that time…”

“Okay, Daoist, please wait a moment, I’ll call the police now!”

Zhou could only nod in agreement.

Under the witness of everyone in the live stream, he dialed the police.

Now, just waiting for the police to arrive, Lu Heng would disclose the information about the murderer.

The viewers also patiently waited for the truth to come out.

Of course, sitting idle was boring, so everyone started discussing again.

“My Daoist is impressive, able to deduce a murder case that went missing six years ago.”

“Mom asked why I’m watching the live stream lying down, because I admire it wholeheartedly!”

“If that’s the case, can the Daoist also help solve those long-standing cases?”

“In our city, there was a kidnapping and murder case twenty years ago that wasn’t solved for various reasons. I wonder if the Daoist can calculate the perpetrator?”

“Solving cases with mysticism, isn’t that too far-fetched?”

“The Daoist is just like a cow flicking its tail—making a huge impression!”

“Isn’t Blue Star known for having twenty major unsolved cases? Why not let the Daoist solve them too while he’s at it.”

“Right, right, partner with the national TV to create a ’Mystic Case Solving’ show, guaranteed to be a hit worldwide…”

…

On Lu Heng’s side, the viewers were waiting for the police to arrive.

Meanwhile, Zhao Lili’s fans were also waiting.

As it got closer to 9 PM, Zhao Lili became increasingly uneasy, almost unable to continue the live stream.

The fans weren’t stupid; they naturally noticed her anxiety.

“Lili, it’s almost 9 PM, your friend hasn’t come yet, which proves that Daoist is a liar.”

“Yeah! How could such a coincidental thing happen, arriving neither early nor late, but just waiting until 9 PM?”

“Lili, you should end the stream and get a good night’s sleep, full of energy every day!”

“Don’t be so concerned with a liar!”

“You believe whatever people say, in the end, you’ll only make yourself anxious and mentally scattered.”

“I have a feeling that the Daoist might not be a fraud; didn’t he say everything about Lili’s past correctly?”

“Haha! Maybe that guy was just pretending to be mystical, and he happened to guess correctly?”

“Damn, what’s that thought process? Why don’t you randomly guess some of Lili’s past?”

“Everyone stop arguing, that Daoist knows so much, he must have some skills.”

“Right, right, better to believe than not believe!”

“What if Lili’s friend really comes at 9 PM, should we then call the police as the Daoist suggested?”

Seeing the fans’ discussion, Zhao Lili became increasingly confused.

No matter how much was said, she still didn’t want to believe that her friend would harm her.

But people’s hearts are hidden, she also didn’t know her friend’s thoughts.

“Do you think I should call the police?”

She thought and thought but had no decision.

Having no other ideas, she had to ask her fans.

The fans, upon hearing her, all shared their suggestions.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t trust the Daoist!”

“A friend of nearly ten years, if she wanted to harm you, she would have done it long ago!”

“Call the police! The Daoist explained Lili’s past so clearly, he must have real skills.”

“I suggest Lili calls the police too! If nothing happens, just apologize. But if something does, it’ll be huge!”

“Better safe than sorry, call the police just in case!”

“Didn’t the Daoist say before that the friend is controlled by her new boyfriend, and their target is you, Lili, how can you not call the police?”

“Call the police +1! A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall…”

Seeing the fans’ comments, Zhao Lili discreetly took a survey.

Most of them thought she should call the police.

While only a small part believed she should not trust the Daoist.

“Since everyone is advising me to call the police, then I’ll call the police!”

Zhao Lili took a deep breath and finally made up her mind.

Of course, she still had a sliver of hope.

What if her friend really didn’t come tonight?

Just as the time slowly reached 9 PM, the phone on her desk suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone for a glance, and instantly broke into a cold sweat.

Displayed on the incoming call was the name of her good friend!

The fans noticed her reaction too.

“Damn, could it really be that her friend came?”

“Is that Daoist really that great?”

“Lili, answer it and see what’s up?”

“Don’t answer, hurry and call the police!”

Zhao Lili hesitated for a moment and chose to answer the call.

Like she said, from the bottom of her heart, she didn’t believe her friend would harm her…
