Peng Yuanyuan invited Li Nan and his wife to try the famous "Thousand-Year-Old Big Bone Hot Pot" in Tanhua City, citing the need to replenish their nutrition.

Qin Wen is a professional forensic doctor, and she eats with great relish in front of the cadavers. Although Zhang Qiqi's final form was a bit unusual, it was still within her acceptable range.

Li Nan is in trouble. For a long time to come, the image of Zhang Qiqi in the bathtub will be a huge shadow over his meals.

On the contrary, Peng Yuanyuan, who did not know much about the case, was the most excited and ate the most happily. She held a big bone in her hand and sucked it in, carefully savoring the wonderful taste of the marrow.

Detention cells are not designed for ordinary people. Although she had only been there for less than 24 hours, Peng Yuanyuan was still terrified and secretly vowed never to appear in such a place again.

But are self-righteous vows even useful?

Seeing that Li Nan seemed to have become a vegetarian today, Peng Yuanyuan joked, "Li Nan, don't be shy, and don't try to save money for me. I'm rich! Eat as much as you want!"

Li Nan couldn't explain it either, otherwise, only Qin Wen would be able to enjoy the delicious food today.

There was no other way but to put on gloves, pick up a bone, and pretend to taste it.

With just a slight push through the small plastic straw in her mouth, the warm and smooth bone marrow flowed into her mouth. Li Nan smacked her lips and said, "Mmm, I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"

Qin Wen found it amusing and muttered under her breath, "What a glutton!"

The three of them finished their bone feast in less than an hour.

After the meal, Qin Wen's hostility towards her former love rival had dropped to zero, but she couldn't see any change in Peng Yuanyuan.

Perhaps, having once been with Gao Siming, she didn't see herself as a threat.

Outside the restaurant, the three said goodbye to each other. Peng Yuanyuan declined Li Nan's offer to drive her home and took a taxi back to Lakeside Moonlight.

At the dinner table, Peng Yuanyuan did not voice her suspicions about Gao Siming. After all, Qin Wen, who was sitting opposite her, was Gao Siming's former fan, and Li Nan was also Gao Siming's younger brother. It would be inappropriate to express her suspicions about Gao Siming in this setting.

Furthermore, Gao Siming has not yet revealed that he poisoned the animals, which means he has unwittingly held leverage over himself.

Damn Gao Siming, what else does he want?

Peng Yuanyuan was feeling down when she realized she had arrived at the Lakeside Community.

When we got to Building 38, we noticed that the police tape around the house was still there, and the villa entrance was sealed off.

"How could a perfectly good mistress just disappear like that?"

...

After finishing his meal, Li Nan first took Qin Wen home, and then drove back to Andingsi himself.

During the dinner just now, Peng Yuanyuan mentioned that the reason she argued with Zhang Qiqi downstairs that day was because Zhang Qiqi thought she had smashed her window with something.

Yesterday in the interrogation room, Peng Yuanyuan mentioned this matter briefly, but only in passing and without going into details.

At the time, it was thought that Peng Yuanyuan was the murderer, and this was just a trivial matter. However, now that Peng Yuanyuan has been cleared of suspicion, this seemingly insignificant matter has become a very important clue.

Zhang Qiqi peeked out of the window after hearing a strange noise and happened to see Peng Yuanyuan walking nearby. Because of their past conflicts, it was understandable that they had a big fight.

But is this just another coincidence?

Li Nan rushed back to the Anding Division and went to the Evidence Section to see if any physical evidence that might have caused the window noises had been collected at the time.

Unfortunately, after searching through all the information, there was nothing suspicious.

"That's right. We didn't know that detail at the time. We only checked the room and found that we missed it near the window."

Li Nan originally wanted to go check the scene now, but it was past closing time and getting dark. It wouldn't be easy to find anything at night, so he decided to wait until dawn to take people to check it out.

But so many days have passed, is it still possible to find this evidence?

Could the murderer have already retrieved this mysterious piece of evidence?

Talk is cheap; we need to go and see for ourselves.

The next morning, Li Nan arrived at Anding Division early. After Yang Bairong arrived at work, she had a brief meeting with her colleagues from the Tracking Department to explain the arrangements and precautions for the meeting. The two cars then sped off to the Lakeside Community.

On the day the site was sealed off, Anding Division had already obtained custody of the keys to 38 buildings.

After getting out of the car, Li Nan opened the door and entered the villa. The layout of the villas in Lakeside Moonlight was very similar. Villa No. 38 and Gao Siming's Villa No. 103 were basically the same except for the slight difference in orientation.

According to Peng Yuanyuan, Li Nan immediately spotted the second-floor window facing the road.

Since the incident, the villa has been neglected, and strangely, the window is now closed.

Li Nan instructed everyone not to move around for the time being and to protect the scene. He then led Yang Bairong to tear off the seal, enter the inner room, and go to the window on the second floor.

Wearing gloves, Li Nan raised the fingerprint inspection light and began to examine the area inch by inch.

"Peng Yuanyuan's testimony and the surveillance footage at the time both confirm that the window was open before the incident. However, the investigation light can't detect any fingerprints. It's impossible for Zhang Qiqi to have been wearing gloves and wiping away fingerprints when opening and closing her own window. Therefore, it was the murderer who closed the window at the time."

After checking the window, Li Nan carefully opened it and stuck her head out to look down.

Directly below the window is a green belt, and among the bushes, several unusual things can be vaguely seen.

Li Nan waved and called out, "Xiao Wei, come over to the green belt and see what these are. Watch out for footprints!"
