Huo Houming took out an electric impact drill and violently opened the basement door.
At 7:16, the three emerged from the basement door, followed by Gao Siming.
The camera position was excellent this time, capturing Huo Houming's smug smile and Gao Siming's empty eyes.
“I looked at Gao Siming’s house. This is a photo of the damaged basement door. This is the impact drill that Huo Houming used, which was left in the basement. I have already handed it over to my colleagues in the Trace Evidence Department to verify the fingerprints.”
Li Nan patted Ma Jie on the shoulder, "Well done! Everything matched up. Now, let's see if we can catch Blood Rose!"
"Professor, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"
"Little Ma, I just praised you, why are you chickening out already? Hurry up and say it!"
"I feel that the actions of Blood Rose and this Huo Houming are a bit off this time!"
"Where?" To be honest, things happened so suddenly today that Li Nan hadn't had the time to think about it carefully.
Ma Jie retrieved the suspect vehicle's movement trajectory from that morning. "Why did they repeatedly turn back and cross the cross-sea bridge three times in just three hours?"
Li Nan glanced at the time; it was 6:21 a.m. when he arrived at the cross-sea bridge for the first time.
At 7:35, I passed by for the second time;
At 8:47, we crossed the sea bridge again...
A map of Tanhua City appeared in Li Nan's mind. Indeed, this movement was abnormal!
If the murderer started from the pedestrian street, he should have first gone to the government compound, kidnapped Qin Wen, then crossed the cross-sea bridge to the lakeside community to kidnap Gao Siming, and then turned around and went to the old industrial area in the northeast of the new city!
According to this more reasonable plan, they would save at least two cross-sea bridges, totaling nearly 50 kilometers of travel. Why would they do this?
Thinking about my work schedule, I wondered, "Could it be that they timed my departure precisely?"
"By the way, if they turn back like this, it reduces the time it takes for us to discover Qin Wen's kidnapping. If they kidnap Qin Wen first, and then get discovered, they probably won't have enough time to kidnap Gao Siming!"
"What Master Li said seems to make a lot of sense! That must be it, the cunning Blood Rose!"
Li Nan once again praised his own intelligence.
But is that really the case?
...
In Building 103 of Lakeside Moonlight, Gao Siming looked at the map of Tanhua City on the table. "Won't you be surprised when you discover the identity of the Blood Rose that I arranged for you?"
"Sis, I'm sorry, but you have to sacrifice yourself this time. Otherwise, they'll definitely become suspicious of this strange route!"
"Fortunately, the basement repairs yesterday gave us a chance to send Huo Houming out; otherwise, there would still be some risk!"
Gao Siming touched the wound on his calf, and Gou Dan asked with concern, "Brother, you took care of that fat guy with one shot, wasn't that too lenient?"
"Dog Egg, isn't this all part of your plan? If we don't just kill Huo Houming directly, and he manages to find out something during interrogation, we'll be in danger!"
"That's right, my brother's safety is the most important thing!"
"Now, let's wait for the seed to slowly sprout, and for the day Li Nan completely panics. That's when our story will end!"
"You two little brothers, don't forget, once your leg injury heals a bit, you need to help that Zhou kid!"
"Oh, right, Sister Rose, I had completely forgotten about that if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Sister, no rush, no rush! That disfigured guy hasn't shown up yet. We still have time. This time, we can have some fun!"
"Get back to normal, get back to normal, remember to enjoy this time, and then stay home and have some tea!"
...
Although Qin Wen threw a little tantrum at Li Nan, she still wouldn't neglect her serious business.
After Li Nan left at noon, she called Li Na and asked her to come to the hospital to give a statement.
Qin Wen's memories are largely the same as Gao Siming's, except for some secrets that belong exclusively to her and cannot be told!
According to Qin Wen's statement, it was around 8 a.m. when she heard a knock on the door, saying that someone was delivering a package.
Qin Wen assumed that Li Nan had bought her something and, without suspecting anything, opened the door directly.
When he opened the door, all he remembered was a man and a woman standing there, who were none other than Huo Houming and Xue Qiangwei, whom the An Ding Si had been searching for!
Her first thought was to close the door, but she was too late. A flash of red light appeared in Blood Rose's eyes, and she knew nothing more.
What I saw and heard after waking up was very similar to Gao Siming's account.
However, Qin Wen focused on describing the conversation between Gao Siming and Huo Houming. Huo Houming seemed confident of victory and cooperated by chatting with Gao Siming about the various unpleasant things that had happened during their past collaborations.
Qin Wen knew that Gao Siming was deliberately stalling for time, and he believed that Li Nan and the others must already be on their way.
Every minute that is delayed gives Qin Wen a better chance of survival.
However, Huo Houming still made his move against Gao Siming in the end. With one slash, Qin Wen felt as if her eyes were filled with blood.
The gunshot rang out, and she knew they were both saved.
Qin Wen's later memories were also somewhat hazy.
In fact, Huo Houming was already dead. There were detailed surveillance records and various clues found at the scene. Gao Siming and Qin Wen's testimonies were just formalities.
After asking her questions, Li Na told Qin Wen to rest well and take care of herself, and then left the hospital with her colleagues.
Huo Houming was shot dead on the spot, and the story of Blood Rose's "Luck-Changing Tattoo" should also be considered to have come to an end.
Both Qin Wen and Gao Siming should be considered safe now.
This time, Blood Rose has already given herself away. The focus of our work now is to catch her by using the existing clues!
