I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan certainly knew about the Seven Deadly Sins.

Moreover, Li Yuan already knew their roles when he first met them.

Li Yuan looked at William sitting in front of him and slowly began to speak:

"Pride, envy, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust, and wrath."

Finally, Li Yuan gave David a deep look and then said:

"These seven sins refer to a classification system of seven spiritual sins that are the root causes of human moral depravity."

"You're right, that's what I'm going to talk about next."

William nodded in agreement and arranged several photos on Li Yuan's desk.

He pointed to one of the photos of the deceased lying on the bed and said in a deep voice:

"Laziness: The deceased lived a lazy life by dealing drugs and shirking responsibility."

The murderer forced him to pay for his crime by making him completely still.

He was bound to his bed for a whole year, his vital signs maintained only by medication, and he eventually died from exhaustion.

He then pointed to another photo, showing the deceased kneeling on the ground, half-naked:

Greed: The deceased was a lawyer.

He was lying on top of money, contracts, and documents.

The killer forced him to cut off a pound of flesh, exactly as much as possible, or he would be killed immediately.

He ultimately died from excessive blood loss during the process of cutting his own flesh.

William then pointed to a photo of an obese deceased person and said:

"Binge: The deceased was obese."

The killer forced him to eat continuously until he could eat no more.

Then he kicked him in the stomach, bursting it open.

Looking at the deceased's photo, Li Yuan subconsciously turned his head to glance at Edward.

Edward felt Li Yuan's gaze and subconsciously defended himself:

"I'm not as fat as him..."

As he spoke, he touched his now-flat stomach:

"And I've even lost weight!"

William glanced at Edward with surprise, then continued his explanation of the case.

"Next was a prostitute who was brutally murdered, representing the crime of lust."

Li Yuan, who was already familiar with the plot, nodded and asked after listening to the other party's explanation:

"Thank you for your explanation. So, what do you need me to do?"

"The killer was too calm and his methods were too cruel. I want to know... was he even human?"

As he spoke, William's expression turned serious.

He looked at Li Yuan and said earnestly:

"Moreover, the way he killed people was like performing some kind of ritual."

I'm afraid he might actually summon something.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan also became serious.

That's right, many horror movies differ from the original plot.

These seven deadly sins may not be as simple as they seem.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I can help you, but... how will the commission be calculated?"

The two detectives looked somewhat troubled upon hearing this.

William steeled himself, took out a pre-prepared paper bag from his pocket, and placed it on Li Yuan's desk:

"I only have about $1."

As he spoke, he looked at David beside him and said:

"David was only recently transferred here and doesn't have much savings yet."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression darkened, and he inwardly grumbled:

This amount of money might be enough to help an ordinary person, but the LAPD wants to get it for free? No way!

William noticed the displeasure on Li Yuan's face and quickly explained to him:

"This is just a deposit, Mr. Li."

Once the criminal is caught, we'll apply for a reward to pay the remaining balance, at least $5!

Li Yuan stared at William for a moment, though he still felt the amount was a bit small.

But in the end, she nodded in agreement.

"Alright, William, I'll let it slide since you've been very polite."

Upon hearing that the other party had agreed, William finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Li Yuan for his generosity.

Just then, David's phone rang.

"Feed? Okay, we're coming right now."

He hung up the phone and said to William in a dejected tone:

"Let's hurry up and leave. Another female celebrity has died. The wall is covered in blood with the words 'arrogance' written on it."

Upon hearing this, William quickly stood up, ready to rush to the scene with David immediately.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who was behind the desk, suddenly spoke up.

He said something completely unrelated to the case:

"David, would it be convenient for me to come to your house?"

The two, who were about to leave, suddenly stopped in their tracks.

They were stunned by Li Yuan's question.

David turned around, frowning, and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'd like to try your wife's cooking."

Knowing the plot, Li Yuan smiled.

He stared at David silently, without telling him the truth directly.

If the other party refuses, then they deserve it; it's their own fault for targeting you all this time.

If he agrees, then Li Yuan will follow the will of Heaven and help him out.

William, however, was the first to react.

He quickly shoved David, who was standing next to him.

"Tracy's cooking is great, let's go to David's house!"

David didn't understand what was going on.

But his trust in William still made him subconsciously nod:

"Okay... okay, let's go."

Li Yuan slowly stood up and said to David:

"You have a good partner."

And so, a bewildered David drove Li Yuan and the other two to his home in East Los Angeles.

William glanced at the smiling Li Yuan in the rearview mirror and asked:

"Is there something wrong with David's family?"

Li Yuan glanced at the scenery outside the car and smiled as he said to David:

"There's no problem for now, but if you slow down any slower, there might be an issue."

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so sooner!"

David, finally realizing what was happening, cursed anxiously.

He understood what Li Yuan meant.

It turned out that his own wife might be in danger!

David floored the accelerator, and the engine roared to life.

The car shot off like an arrow, heading towards the apartment.

Immediately afterwards, David dialed his wife Tracy's number.

But the phone kept ringing with a "beep...beep" sound after no one answered.

Like bullets, they pierced David's heart, causing him immense inner turmoil.

No one answered the first call, and no one answered the second call either.

David, who was about to arrive home, had bloodshot eyes; he was already in despair.

William kept a close eye on David, ready to take control of the steering wheel at any moment.

Fortunately, the call finally went through just as the car arrived at David's apartment building.

"Hey? What's wrong, David? I was just taking a shower."

Listening to his wife's touching voice on the phone

David, who had run out of the car, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowed his pace and said to his wife:

"You scared me to death! There's a murderer targeting me lately, and I was afraid you'd be in danger."

Trish felt happy to hear her husband's concern for her, as she had been feeling neglected lately.

She smiled and comforted her husband, saying:

"Hehe, I'm fine, you can focus on your work."

"I'm glad you're alright. I'm home now, I'll come up to see you right away."

Just as David was about to hang up the phone,

Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring on the other end of the phone:

"David, have you arrived?"

Trish walked towards the door, phone in hand.

The dogs at home suddenly started barking restlessly.

"Don't go!"

David immediately became alert and loudly reminded his wife to keep him away from the door.

But then, a series of loud bangs came from the phone as the door was being slammed shut!

"Good heavens! What's wrong with David?!"

Trish's panicked scream came through the phone.

David's heart, which had just settled down, jumped again.

He glanced up at the second floor, mustered all his strength, and strode toward his room.

"Tracy! I'm coming right away!"

"Bang—!"

A loud crash came from the apartment building.

This was immediately followed by Trish's scream:

"Ah! Help—!"
