In the end, none of the participants survived; they all died.
Then, their bodies were reassembled by the murderer into the 'Datura Corpse Flower' you see.
Carlson paused for a moment: "Of course, there are differences in the details as well."
For example, previous cases did not involve such complex bomb threats.
And public interactions with the police.
It was more of a purely secret murder and 'artistic creation'.
However, the core chain of 'disappearance-gathering-mutual mutilation-ritualized disposal of corpses' remains highly consistent.
Therefore, the mine incident was not an isolated case; it followed a certain established and cruel pattern.
Based on the needs of the "spy," new, more provocative, and interactive elements such as bombs, live streams, and tag challenges have been added.
Shen Ting nodded silently.
After exchanging some more details, Shen Ting, Zheng Yuanqiao, and others escorted Carlson and Officer Zhao to the conference room door.
Both sides agreed to maintain close information sharing and cooperation.
After the Interpol agents left, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more tense.
Unknown symbols, global bloodshed, and a potential connection to "voyeurs"...
The mystery didn't diminish; instead, it grew bigger and bigger, like a snowball rolling downhill.

"Teacher Liu, please come to the hospital with me."
"good!"
Special care ward at the First Municipal Hospital.
Xiong Beibei leaned against the rocking hospital bed, her face no longer as pale as before, and her lips were a little chapped.
Although she still looks weak, her condition has improved considerably.
Seeing Shen Ting and Liu Huiming enter, he struggled to sit up straight.
"Lie still and don't move."
Shen Ting took two quick steps, pressed down on his shoulder, and carefully examined his complexion:
"Brother Xiong, how are you feeling?"
"I won't die." Xiong Beibei forced a smile, his voice still a little hoarse, but his tone was as usual, a mix of toughness and playfulness:
"Hehe, I'm still a little hungry, but the doctor told me not to eat too much."
And then there's... the frustration!
