Peng Yuanyuan's death did not cause a ripple in either Tanhua City or online.
First, the location of the incident was too secluded, known only to staff at the mental hospital. Second, it was merely a medical management incident in which one mental patient killed another, offering little opportunity for public entertainment.
The most affected were undoubtedly the nurses on duty at the mental hospital at the time, who all received corresponding punishments.
Not only was he dismissed from his job, but his resume was also severely tarnished, making it impossible for him to work in the medical and service industries in the future.
On the other hand, due to Peng Yuanyuan's death, Li Nan's wild imagination inadvertently brought the Meiluo Academy case to a perfect conclusion.
Thus, from the filing of the case in November 2021 to the establishment of the Plum Blossom Academy task force, all the major cases, except those related to Blood Rose, have been solved!
Li Nan and An Dingsi once again received corresponding rewards and medals!
However, holding the heavy medal in her hand, Li Nan couldn't feel happy.
Because the mastermind behind another series of cases is still at large, and that person is Blood Rose!
Starting with the construction site death case, and surrounding the Tanhua Shopping Mall, Quyin short videos, and Xue Qiangwei, he has committed numerous crimes. If he is not arrested and brought to justice, Li Nan will have no peace of mind!
According to Blood Rose's murder announcement, he will release the final story, "The Luck-Changing Tattoo," in four days. This should be the last chance to capture Blood Rose!
Once a hidden killer with terrifying hypnotic abilities stops committing crimes, how easy is it to catch him?
At this moment, he thought of Gao Siming again.
“Peng Yuanyuan is dead. Several days have passed. We really should tell Brother Gao about this.”
Li Nan pondered this in her mind, and then dialed a number on her own.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. It wasn't until Li Nan hung up and was about to call again that Gao Siming called back.
"Hey, Li Shazi, what are you doing? I'm helping my sister pack oranges!"
"Ah, Brother Gao, you're in Sakura City? You said you were in the city, and I wanted to treat you to a meal!"
"I think you're up to no good, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken!" Gao Siming switched hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "A few days ago, I invited you and Qin Wen to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you're a busy person and didn't want to come!"
"Hey, Brother Gao, I was wrong. I was really busy the other day, and besides, Xiaowen's health isn't suitable for long trips, you know what I mean. Oh, right, there's something that's a bit related to you, Brother Gao, and I'd like to meet with you to talk about it!"
"What business is it of mine? I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I've been helping out at my sister's place for half a month! You shouldn't just focus on work; you should treat your brother to a nice meal!"
"Brother Gao, this is a must! How about tomorrow? I'll treat you to big bone soup?"
"Tomorrow? Okay, there are a few truckloads of oranges being shipped tomorrow, I'll come back on the way!" Gao Siming paused, then asked in a low voice, "Silly, what is it that concerns me? Tell me first, whether it's good or bad, so I can be mentally prepared!"
"Brother, let's talk in person! It won't be a bad thing for you!"
"Alright, kid, you're getting mysterious now. I'll make you pay tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Siming smiled and thought to himself, "Gou Dan, Liu Xiangdong's plan must have succeeded!"
"That's a must! That woman, Peng Yuanyuan, should have died long ago!"
"Hey, you two little brothers, what are you waiting for tomorrow? Let's go home tonight. The final story should begin!"
"Sister Rose, you've already prepared the video, what's the rush?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's almost National Day. What if Huo Houming's mistress runs away? Wouldn't we have to find someone else?"
"Sister, you underestimate Gou Dan's strength. Those two won't run away. Huo Houming is already sharpening his knives. Now we just need to wait for the show to begin!"
"No rush for the big show, let's go hear Li Nan's good news tomorrow!"
"Hahaha……"
...
The next day, September 28th, Saturday, at the Millennium Big Bone Hot Pot restaurant next to Andingsi.
That's right, it was the very place where Peng Yuanyuan invited Li Nan and Qin Wen the day she was released after her first time in detention.
Today, however, only Li Nan and Gao Siming are present.
Qin Wen was more than seven months pregnant and her body was already quite heavy, making it inconvenient for her to go out. So, she complied with Li Nan's wishes and did not come along.
Li Nan lived very close to the restaurant, and since he had invited her, she naturally arrived early. She happened to choose the same spot as before and ordered the same dishes.
This once again proves the saying: things have changed, people are no longer the same, and all is lost.
After five courses of food and just a few drinks, Li Nan, unable to keep her thoughts to herself, took the initiative to bring up today's topic.
"Brother, I'm about to tell you something, but please don't get excited!"
Gao Siming skillfully sucked out a mouthful of bone marrow, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "Speak up, it's not like the sky is falling, why are you getting so excited?"
"Brother, Peng Yuanyuan is dead!"
The tissue in Gao Siming's hand fell to the ground, and his originally bright and spirited eyes widened as he tried to put on a surprised expression.
Unfortunately, this bizarre expression didn't last long before Gao Siming burst out laughing.
"Li the Fool, you're making fun of me. I've been to that place before, and I've seen what Junior Brother looked like. Peng Yuanyuan must look similar to him. How could she commit suicide in a place like that? Peng Yuanyuan wouldn't commit suicide!"
Gao Siming spoke with certainty and eloquence, but Li Nan's expression was serious. "Brother, Peng Yuanyuan is indeed dead. She didn't commit suicide; she was murdered. The one who killed her was none other than your junior brother, Liu Xiangdong!"
