Chapter 373: What Does Ranran Want to Ask Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Thunderbolt spoke, Yun Ran realized that they were talking about Blood Chef, one of the Eight Divine Fiends.
The secret guards of the twelve divisions investigated the case that Blood Chef had committed according to the characteristics Yun Ran had given them previously.
“The secret guards found out that when a few cases happened, someone saw a woman wearing a veiled hat. She had an enchanting figure and looked young.
She covered her face, so no one saw her face.’
As he spoke, Thunderbolt took out a portrait and handed it to MO Beiyuan and
Yun Ran.
“The artist drew this portrait based on everyone’s description.”
The people from the 12 Divisions were quite efficient. In front of Yun Ran and the others was a graceful purple-robed woman.
After Yun Ran glanced at it, she turned to look at MO Beiyuan and asked, “What do you think of her?”
MO Beiyuan’s gaze quickly swept across the painting and gave an answer.
“Ugly!”
Yun Ran was speechless.
“MO Beiyuan, who asked you if she’s good-looking! Besides, she’s covering her face. How do you know that she’s ugly?”
Thunderbolt was also very curious. How did his master see through the appearance of the woman in the veiled hat on the painting?
MO Beiyuan did not want to look at the painting at all as if he despised it to death. He raised his hand and hooked the hair hanging from Yun Ran’s shoulder. “What does Ranran want to ask me?”
Ranran?
Thunderbolt instantly raised his head and widened his eyes.
This gaze! This form of address!
There was something wrong with his master!
Yun Ran pointed at the woman in the painting. “I wanted to ask if you noticed that the woman in this painting is dressed very strangely.”
“Dressed strangely?”
Seeing him like this, Yun Ran surmised he probably didn’t notice anything. She pointed at the woman’s clothes on the painting and said, “As a murderer, her outfit is too ostentatious. If she wasn’t so ostentatious, perhaps no one would remember her existence at all. This means that she loves beauty and has reached a point where she’s almost paranoid. Even if she wants to kill someone, she has to dress up beautifully.”
Yun Ran tapped her fair fingers on MO Beiyuan’s high-grade pearwood table. “According to the interval between her previous crimes, there should be a certain period of time for her beauty to be maintained with witchcraft. After that period, she must continue to kill to maintain her beauty. If the river ghost no longer helps her capture people, she should commit the crime herself soon.”
Thunderbolt quickly nodded and replied, “Miss Yun Ran, you’re really amazing. She’s already started committing crimes. Half a month ago, a young lady from an aristocratic family disappeared from the Imperial City. It’s said that that young lady was as beautiful as a flower. Later, her corpse was found in the suburbs. Her face was so destroyed that it couldn’t be seen anymore. From the looks of her death, it should have been done by Blood Chef.”
“Miss Yun Ran, what should we do now?”
Seeing that his master was staring at Miss Yun Ran without doing anything, Thunderbolt knew better and asked her directly.
Yun Ran remembered the information on the victims she had read before. She could now roughly draw some common characteristics of the people chosen by Blood Chef.
“Let the secret guards pay attention. They might be able to save the next victim.”
“She should be between 15 and 25 years old. She has to be beautiful and healthy, and one has to have a certain level of spiritual power cultivation. This kind of person has to be careful. In theory, the more beautiful someone is, the greater danger.”
MO Beiyuan curled his thin lips. “Then the person who is in the most danger in the entire Imperial City is Ranran.”
Yun Ran propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. She narrowed her eyes and replied, “If she really dares to come, I don’t mind teaching her a lesson..”
