At the An Ding Si headquarters, Li Na excitedly approached Li Nan with a USB drive in hand.
"Captain Li, I've made a major discovery!"
Li Nan was overjoyed upon hearing this and asked Li Na to sit down and explain. After listening to Li Na's account, Li Nan slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "This is indeed an important discovery! Have you seen the video?"
"I rushed here to find Captain Li and haven't had a chance to see him yet."
"It's alright. Notify Yang Bairong, Ma Jie, and Qin Wen. Well, Qin Wen is busy, so let's just take a look first."
Li Nan's appearance didn't fool Li Na at all. "Hehe, you got bullied by Sister Qin again, didn't you?"
"Don't let your mind wander during work hours. This is our job, so don't keep bothering the traceability department!"
"Captain Li is absolutely right!"
Ten minutes later, in the conference room.
The people who watched the short video all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Li Nan muttered to herself, "This is a fantasy story, isn't it? Where did they copy this script from?"
Ma Jie whispered a correction, "This should be considered a supernatural story, not fantasy. But do you think the scholar ultimately achieved his wish?"
"Are you stupid? The streamer already said that Xiaobai passed the imperial examination, became a prince consort, and has a perfect life!"
Ma Jie glanced at Yang Bairong and said, "Brother Yang, think about it again!"
Yang Bairong was too lazy to think, so he changed the subject, "Hehe, putting everything else aside, this woman's voice is really captivating!"
"It must be because the person is ugly, otherwise why would they wear a mask!" Li Na said, somewhat unconvinced.
"Look at those voice streamers on the internet, they're mainly doing it for the gimmick. They probably aren't too ugly, they just don't have distinctive voices, so they deliberately don't show their faces. That's called imperfect beauty!"
"I didn't expect you to know this, Lao Yang!"
"Hehe, just bragging, just bragging!"
"Knock knock knock"
Li Nan tapped the table. "Everyone, you've gone off-topic!"
Yang Bairong straightened up. "Captain Li, based on my analysis, the content of this video is not closely related to the case of the person who froze to death. The only commonality is the peach blossom, but that doesn't prove anything."
Ma Jie said, "If we have to find a connection, we can only analyze it from the story itself. Could there really be a peach blossom fairy who can grant wishes?"
Yang Bairong retorted, "We are the Anding Division, we cannot believe in baseless superstitions and strange phenomena! You probably just want to become the top scholar!"
Li Na, standing to the side, kept quiet and didn't dare to say anything, only cursing Wang Hongxi in her heart for finding such ridiculous evidence. She was ashamed of herself! Thankfully, Captain Li didn't say that it was the evidence I found!
Just as Li Na was trying to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes to hide in, Li Nan asked a question.
"Li Na, you were the first to discover the video, what are your thoughts?"
"I'm telling you, Wang Hongxi!" Li Na complained inwardly, though she certainly didn't dare say it aloud. Luckily, a thought suddenly struck her. "Captain Li, why don't we start with this author, Blood Rose?"
Li Nan's eyes lit up after hearing this, "That makes sense!"
Li Nan glanced at the projection screen. "The author's name is Blood Rose. At the end of the video, there's a scene of blood flowing from the eyes. Of course, this should just be a special effect. This shouldn't happen in reality unless Blood Rose has some kind of disease!"
"Actually, considering that Blood Rose wears a mask, could there be some obvious marks on her face that she's deliberately using to cover them up?"
As Li Nan spoke, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, "Mysterious woman A?"
Since the 0609 incident, the key suspect Zhao Ranran has still not been apprehended, and the mysterious female companion A mentioned by many witnesses has also disappeared without a trace.
Now, the Blood Rose that appears in the video has blood flowing from its right eye; it's a Blood Rose, a bleeding rose.
There might be some connection between Blood Rose and Woman A!
Thinking of this, Li Nan couldn't help but give himself a silent thumbs up. This star of the police force is really too smart!
Just as Li Nan was about to speak and express her thoughts, Ma Jie preemptively spoke up, saying the same point.
"Captain Li, I have a feeling that this Blood Rose is related to the woman A we've been searching for."
Upon hearing this, Li Na and Yang Bairong were both taken aback. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"
What could Li Nan do but follow this line of thought and say, "Ma Jie's idea is good, very insightful! So, next, Ma Jie, contact the technical department to quickly confirm Blood Rose's identity!"
"Li Na will remain at Andingsi to handle the family's affairs. Yang Bairong and I will go to the school to conduct further investigations! Meeting adjourned, everyone get to work!"
"Yes! All violations will be investigated and all murder cases will be solved!"
...
Following the incident, the Anti-Corruption Bureau has contacted the roommates and classmates of the four deceased, urging them to return to school as soon as possible. The Anti-Corruption Bureau will conduct routine inquiries with them.
A day later, some of the students from the surrounding areas of Tanhua City had returned.
Next, Li Nan and Yang Bairong's task was to routinely visit these classmates and investigate the deceased's daily life and emotions, hoping to find useful clues.
"Xie Tian, that kid is good in every way, but he's a bit impractical. Doesn't he know what he's like? He's actually thinking about pursuing the school beauty!"
"Yeah, this kid looks a lot like the male protagonist in that comic from before the New Year, 'My Secret.' Oh, the officer actually read it too! No, not Ming Shigao from his fantasy world, but that real poor kid!"
"Could you tell me more details, classmate?" When Li Nan came to the school to visit, several of Xie Tian's roommates, who were the first to discover the body, had already returned. However, Li Nan did not expect that the Xie Tian in the eyes of his roommates and classmates was completely different from the Xie Tian in the family's words that Li Na recorded.
