"Focus on your work. I'll eat your portion for you. I'll post your wife's portion on WeChat Moments later so we can all eat together!"

"Gao Siming!"

Li Nan slammed down the phone and looked at his wife, who also had a dark expression on her face.

"Honey, Brother Gao said he saved it for you. Maybe it's a small case, and we'll catch the culprit in no time!"

Qin Wen didn't want to talk to this idiot, so she shifted her body to the left. "Do you think I'm stupid? Soybeans blooming, it must be Blood Rose's doing, right?"

A few days ago, Qin Wen, who had nothing to do in the lab, looked through all the cases from Meiluo Academy and naturally learned about the new story of Blood Rose.

Thinking back to the stewed pig's feet with soybeans she had eaten half a month ago, Qin Wen's sympathy for Peng Yuanyuan couldn't help but decrease a bit.

Could it be that Peng Yuanyuan is not only Woman A, but also the terrifying psychological mastermind Blood Rose? Or is there a connection?

Andingsi is not far from Xingfuli, but today it's a holiday and it's close to the end of the workday.

What should have been a ten-minute drive took Li Nan and his group more than six o'clock when they arrived at the familiar Happiness Lane.

The gatekeeper, seeing the vehicle from the Anding Division enter, held up his lunchbox in one hand and gave a standard military salute with the other.

Upon entering the residential compound, Yang Bairong followed the navigation and went directly to Unit 1 of Building 9.

Downstairs, Beiwei's colleagues had already set up a cordon, and the two colleagues at the door both had very unhappy expressions on their faces.

Indeed, with the holidays approaching, this murder case came suddenly, and no one would feel good about it.

However, as a member of the Anti-Danger Division and a member of the People's Police, one must live up to this uniform!

Li Nan climbed the stairs to the fourth floor where the incident occurred. At the entrance, two of his colleagues from the patrol team were on guard.

Upon seeing Li Nan and the others approach, he saluted them and came over to greet them.

The two young men at the door, their expressions of barely suppressed shock, were different from the distress of their colleagues downstairs; they were more closely connected to the case of Zhang Qiqi's death.

A bad feeling welled up in Li Nan's heart; this case was not going to be simple.

Upon entering the house, the family of four had already been taken into custody separately.

Kan Qingyao, the person who reported the crime, was with his wife and children, while Kan Xingguo, the suspected murderer, was held alone on the other side.

Upon seeing Li Nan and the others, the Northern Guard King's Guard took the initiative to come over and greet them.

The two first met during the 1117 case, then the 0609 case, followed by the Caiyun Polytechnic, and two more student death cases. Now, they are old acquaintances.

In just two or three years, so many murders have occurred in his jurisdiction, almost all of which are unclear and have not been solved.

Old Wang still felt ashamed.

"Wang Weishi, we meet again!" Li Nan was still thinking about soybeans and suckling pigs, unaware of the complex thoughts in Old Wang's mind.

Wang Weishi replied bitterly, "Yes, Li Keshi, I didn't expect to see you again. To be honest, I'm embarrassed to see you!"

"Haha, Wang Weishi is joking. I'm in the same boat! My planned holiday trip has all fallen through."

"Who isn't!"

"Wang Weishi, you arrived first. What's the situation at the scene?"

Wang Weishi led Li Nan to the master bedroom. "The deceased was the homeowner's wife. She was in the house. The manner of her death is rather complicated!"

Having witnessed Zhang Qiqi's soup in March, Li Nan felt a little uneasy. Learning from his previous experience, he didn't rush in blindly. Instead, he stood at the door and asked, "Tell me the details!"

Wang Weishi had heard Deng Weishi from the western suburbs mention the case of the Lakeside Moonlight residential area before.

Seeing Li Nan's performance now, I can roughly guess the reason.

"It wasn't as devastating as the lakeside community, but it was a bit unusual!"

Wang Weishi shared what he knew with Li Nan.

It was similar to what Ma Jie had initially reported to him.

Having prepared herself mentally, Li Nan mustered her courage and bravely stepped into the bedroom.

"vomit……"

Li Nan rushed out of the house again...

It turned out that while Li Nan and Wang Weishi were discussing the case, Qin Wen had already changed into her gear and entered the scene with her colleagues from the Trace Investigation Department.

"The deceased was a woman, about sixty years old and 156 cm tall. Her body was covered with plastic wrap, and there were wounds on her hands, feet, forehead and chest and abdomen. There were plants that looked like soybeans growing there. Currently, six of the plants have flowered, and the flowers are bright red."

"..."

As Qin Wen spoke, her colleagues took notes and photos.

After examining the body's surface, Qin Wen took out a scalpel and cut open the plastic wrap around the chest.

"puff!"

The overwhelming stench of death burst through the plastic wrap...

Just as the old woman's giant-like image reappeared in the room, Li Nan happened to rush in.

Seeing Li Nan rush out again, Qin Wen smiled mischievously, "Let's see if you're still thinking about roast suckling pig now?"

Now that Qin Wen and the others are handling the body, Li Nan doesn't want to get involved anymore.

So they contacted the family members to find out what was going on.

Kan Qingyao: "My dad must be crazy, why would he kill my mom!"

Kan Qingyao's wife: "Waaaaah, Yao-ge won't let us in. All I know is that Mom is dead, waaaaah..."

Yao Ge's child: "Brave dog, unafraid of difficulties! Grandma, I'm hungry!"

"..."

Since it seemed that no clues could be obtained from the family, Li Nan went to the suspected murderer's side.

Judging from his appearance, Kan Xingguo should be around sixty years old. Even at this age, he still pays great attention to his appearance.

The well-fitting gray Zhongshan suit paired with Kan Xingguo's appearance would make Li Nan think he was a leader of a large company if he weren't currently being considered a murderer.

This is the kind of person who appears to be a leader, yet he still insists that he did not kill anyone and keeps talking to himself.

"My wife is asleep, please keep your voices down and don't wake her!"

"My grandson is hungry, why are you stopping me? I'm going to make him something delicious!"

"You're mistaken. My wife is just asleep. The deity said she'll wake up once the soybeans have all blossomed!"

"Count them, are there seven flowers?"

Looking at Kan Xingguo's current state, and after that fleeting glimpse just now, Li Nan finally understood why the soybeans in the new Blood Rose story had blossomed!
