But there's nothing we can do about it; compared to life, nothing else matters.
As the five refrigerators were opened one after another, Li Nan's heart, which had almost settled down, became anxious again.
"Secretary Zhou, come here and see if this is Director Li?"
According to the story of Blood Rose, the refrigerators are arranged in the east, west, south, north, and center, and the one in the center should undoubtedly be Li Sifu, who "benefits" the most.
However, when the refrigerator was opened, what appeared in front of Ma Jie was a charred human-shaped body.
Yes, it was actually a corpse with charred skin, as if it had been burned in a fire.
Judging from the appearance alone, no one would believe that the person inside the refrigerator is still alive!
"Ah, ah, ah! This is the outfit that Li Sifu was wearing today!" Zhou Zhifei came to the refrigerator and stared at the charred corpse in front of him.
"This must be Master Li!"
"How could this happen? We're in a freezer!"
...
There were many people present, and they were all professionals.
In just over ten minutes, the four injured people and the body suspected to be Li Zhipeng were taken out of the freezer.
The injured were taken to the hospital for treatment in the rescue vehicle, while the charred Li Zhipeng naturally returned to Andingsi with Li Nan.
Because of the urgency of the situation, the ice storage site has been extensively damaged, making it difficult to extract useful information. However, necessary sampling and evidence collection are still essential!
Li Nan left Yang Bairong to handle the follow-up matters and then returned to Anding Division with everyone else.
In Li Nan's imagination, the case actually left four survivors.
Once they wake up, they should be able to provide some clues.
Even just a few words should be enough to help An Dingsi lock onto the Blood Rose!
However, after a preliminary on-site investigation, Li Nan still had two questions in mind.
First, the scene was a freezer with a constant temperature of -4 degrees Celsius, and Li Sifu was inside the freezer, so why was he burned to death?
From the scene, there were no signs of burning, nor were there any signs of the body being dragged.
How did all of this happen?
Secondly, referring to previous cases, all of which left survivors, they initially thought they should be witnesses.
But reality slapped them in the face twice.
This time, there are four survivors. Will the ending be the same?
Is this another slap in the face from reality, or is it a case of even the wisest person making a mistake, and this time, Blood Rose has failed?
It's too early to think about these things now; let's wait for further results!
As the person who reported the case and also an insider, Zhou Zhifei followed Li Nan and the others back to Anding Division. After giving his statement as required, he was allowed to leave.
As a staff member in the system and also the secretary to Li Sifu of the Commerce Department, Zhou Zhifei did have this kind of privilege.
As a secretary, Li Nan needed approval from relevant departments every time he left Tanhua City, so she wasn't worried about him running away.
After leaving Andingsi, Zhou Zhifei hailed a taxi and arrived at a small restaurant not far from the government compound.
He chose a secluded spot, ordered a bowl of shredded pork with garlic sauce over rice, took out an old-fashioned cell phone from his briefcase, dialed a number from memory, and the call was quickly connected.
"Brother Gao, the murderer has been apprehended, and the remaining four unlucky guys have been sent to the hospital. Are you sure everything is alright?"
On the other end of the phone was Gao Siming, who had just emerged from the bathtub. "Of course, no problem. Don't you trust Brother Gao's skills?"
Recalling Gao Siming's miraculous performance in the private room the night before last, Zhou Zhifei felt a little more at ease.
"Brother Gao, when are you going to help me get revenge?"
"Xiao Zhou, don't worry. We've waited for over twenty years, what's a few more days? Didn't I say I'd definitely fulfill your wish before the end of this year?"
Gao Siming took a sip of the "Ephemeral Romance" wine in the stemmed glass by the bathtub. "Besides," he said, "the target is still in prison. You need to find a way to get him out as soon as possible!"
"With Li Zhipeng dead, the person I've been supporting can take over. He'll be out by October at the latest!"
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, I definitely won't let you down!"
"Are you sure the other four are safe?"
"Go to the hospital tomorrow, and you'll know when they wake up!"
"Brother Gao, you're not trying to get me into trouble, are you?!"
"If I had this idea, wouldn't you have known it already!"
"Hehe, okay, I believe you!"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Siming stood up, downed the glass of orange wine in one gulp, casually wiped his face with a towel, and a long-unseen red light appeared in his eyes.
The red light flashed, but it couldn't conceal the dark red, pitch black, as black as ink, deep within the right eye.
"This time, the price was a bit too high. Controlling five people at once is probably the limit!"
"Dog Egg, you don't have to risk your life like this. You could just kill them!"
"There's no other way. This Xiao Zhou isn't an ordinary person. If we don't show him some serious skills, he might expose us!"
"That's true. There's a clear distinction between good and evil. We can't kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"You two are both so kind!"
"Who can argue with that?"
