A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

Su Wan raised her head, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Lin Weiwei spoke so highly of Lu Yuanfeng that she actually became somewhat interested.

"OK."

She smiled and nodded.

"We'll see how it goes."

She doesn't have high expectations for relationships right now; she just feels that getting to know more people isn't a bad thing.

If it really works out, maybe you could try starting a new relationship.

If it doesn't work out, just consider it making another friend.

"Very good!"

Lin Weiwei clapped her hands excitedly.

"I knew you'd say yes! I'll definitely arrange a romantic meeting for you two!"

Su Wan smiled, raised her glass, and clinked it against her sisters' glasses again.

"Come on, let's not talk about this anymore, let's keep eating! We're not leaving until we're drunk!"

The atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant grew increasingly lively, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Su Wan always wore a bright smile, and the light in her eyes was bright and dazzling, like a star that had been revitalized.

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Chenyuan was driving an SUV at high speed through the night.

He was tormented by the urgent case on one hand and his burning desire to see her on the other.

The two conflicting emotions made him extremely irritable, but also strengthened his resolve to win her back.

When the red light came on, Lu Chenyuan slammed on the brakes.

The moment the car stopped, Su Wan's aggrieved look flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

His heart ached, but he became even more certain that he could not lose her.

As soon as the light turned green, Lu Chenyuan stepped on the gas again, and the car shot off like an arrow.

He gazed at the blurred city outline in the night ahead, a determined light shining in his eyes.

Su Wan, I'm back.

This time, I won't let you turn around and leave again.

The lights of the city's public security bureau building pierced the night, like a sharp sword cutting through the tranquility of Seoul.

As soon as Lu Chenyuan's SUV came to a stop downstairs, he pushed open the car door and strode inside.

The black outfit drew sharp arcs in the night, still carrying the dust and chill of high-speed driving.

"Captain Lu! You're finally back!"

As soon as he reached the entrance of the building, his subordinates came to greet him, their faces full of anxiety.

"Director Zhang and the technical staff are waiting in the conference room. The case is urgent, and the victim's family is also there. They are very emotional."

Lu Chenyuan nodded, and without further pleasantries, headed straight for the conference room.

The moment the door was opened, the noisy discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and the table was covered with case files and photos of the scene.

The victims' horrific condition filled the air with a chilling, bloody atmosphere.

Director Zhang stood up and pointed to the seat next to him.

"Shen Yuan, sit down. The situation is urgent, so I'll keep it short. The victim is a young woman. The incident occurred late at night, and the murder took place on a secluded road near an old residential area in the south of the city."

"According to the preliminary investigation by the technical department, the perpetrator's methods were extremely cruel and he had a clear awareness of counter-surveillance, leaving almost no useful clues at the scene."

Lu Chenyuan sat down, his fingertips tracing the photos on the table, his eyes sharp as an eagle, quickly capturing every detail.

The victim's fatal wound was on his neck; the wound was clean and clearly caused by a sharp weapon.

Furthermore, there were signs of being bound and violated on his body, indicating that the perpetrator was extremely twisted.

"How is the investigation into the victim's social relationships going?"

Lu Chenyuan's voice was deep and calm, showing no signs of fatigue from his long journey or the gruesome scene of the crime.

"The victim was a 25-year-old supermarket cashier who lived in the southern part of the city. She was unmarried and had no complicated social relationships."

The police officer in charge of the visit stood up to report, his tone tinged with frustration.

"We checked the surrounding surveillance footage, but most of the cameras in the old residential area were broken, and only a few could capture blurry figures. The perpetrator was wearing a dark hoodie when he committed the crime, so we couldn't see his face clearly."

Lu Chenyuan frowned, tapping his fingertips on the table, making a rhythmic sound that was particularly clear in the silent conference room.

"The crime occurred late at night in a remote location, indicating that the perpetrator was very familiar with the environment of the southern part of the city. He is most likely a local resident or someone who has been active in the area for a long time."

"The victim was a young woman who showed no obvious signs of resistance, suggesting that the perpetrator may have used some identity or means to gain her trust."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"The technical department focuses on investigating any trace evidence left at the scene, not even a single hair or fiber can be overlooked."

"The investigation team expanded the scope of the investigation, not only to further investigate the victim's social relationships, but also to focus on investigating people with prior criminal records in the Chengnan area, especially those involved in sexual assault or intentional injury."

"In addition, patrols have been increased in and around the area where the incident occurred, temporary checkpoints have been set up, and suspicious persons and vehicles have been investigated."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and immediately got up and started to act.

The people in the conference room dispersed instantly, leaving only Director Zhang and Lu Chenyuan.

"Shen Yuan, this case has had a very negative impact, and the city is taking it very seriously, so we are under a lot of pressure."

Director Zhang patted him on the shoulder, his tone grave.

"You just got back from vacation, and you should have been able to rest for a few more days, but given the current situation, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."

"It's my duty."

Lu Chenyuan stood up and picked up the case files on the table.

"Director Zhang, I'm going to the scene to take a look."

As night deepened, police tape had been put up on the section of road in the old residential area in the south of the city where the incident occurred.

The area outside the police cordon was crowded with onlookers, and the sound of discussion rose and fell.

Lu Chenyuan put on gloves and shoe covers and walked into the crime scene.

This is an abandoned alley, dark and damp, with piles of garbage in the corners.

The air was filled with a stench of decay and blood.

The technical staff were conducting a thorough investigation when they saw Lu Chenyuan enter and immediately went to report.

"Captain Lu, we found a blurry footprint in the corner of the wall, as well as some skin flakes that we suspect were left by the perpetrator. We've taken samples and sent them for testing."

Lu Chenyuan nodded, squatted down, and carefully searched the ground with his eyes.

The alleyway was uneven, covered with gravel and trash. The footprint was indeed blurry, but one could roughly determine the killer's height and build.

He stood up and walked slowly along the alley, taking in his surroundings and mentally simulating the murderer's actions.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on an abandoned trash can deep in the alley, where the ground seemed to have been disturbed.

He walked over and signaled for the technicians to come and investigate. Sure enough, deep in the soil behind the trash can, they found a fruit knife stained with blood, with some tissue still remaining on the blade.

"Send it for testing immediately and compare it with the victim's DNA."

Lu Chenyuan's voice deepened; this fruit knife was very likely the murder weapon.

Just then, a commotion broke out at the alley entrance, and a man wearing a dark hoodie tried to break through the police line, shouting.

"I didn't do it! What right do you have to arrest me!"

Lu Chenyuan immediately became alert and turned to run towards the alley entrance.

The man was agitated and struggled violently, and the police officers were unable to control him for a moment.

Lu Chenyuan strode forward, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

The man cried out in pain and was instantly subdued.

"Behave yourself!"

Lu Chenyuan's voice was as cold as ice, and the ferocity in his eyes made the man instantly afraid to move.

But the next second, the man suddenly pulled a sharp folding knife from his pocket and stabbed at Lu Chenyuan.
