You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Late at night, at the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau building.

The city outside had fallen asleep; the hustle and bustle had faded away, leaving only the occasional sound of a passing car engine.

The city police building was quiet, and the incandescent lights in the corridor cast a pale, eerie glow, creating a somewhat sinister atmosphere.

Outside the highest-level evidence room on the first basement floor of the building.

Li Mingyu was sitting in a folding chair, holding a cup of cold instant coffee, his face full of displeasure and frustration.

"Damn it, why are all the Major Crimes Unit members sleeping upstairs while I'm stuck here on night watch?"

As Li Mingyu drank his bitter coffee, he cursed Lin Chen in his mind.

"That pretty boy surnamed Lin, he just solved a few cases because of a bit of luck, right? He really thinks he's a detective! He even held a press conference, bragging about having DNA evidence. Pshaw!"

"I think he's deliberately messing with me. There's no such thing as a thousand-faced man in the middle of the night. It's all bullshit!"

Li Mingyu grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his eyelids began to droop uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to lean back in his chair and take a nap.

"Squeak... squeak..."

At the end of the corridor, a very faint sound of wheels rubbing against the ground suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

Li Mingyu suddenly opened his eyes, gripped the baton at his waist warily, and shouted.

"Who's over there?!"

"Officer, it's me, the cleaner."

A sanitation worker pushing a cleaning cart slowly emerged from the dark corner.

The cleaner was wearing a loose blue uniform, a baseball cap, and a large face mask that covered most of his face, leaving only his somewhat cloudy eyes visible. He was mopping the corridor floor.

Upon seeing that it was a cleaner, Li Mingyu's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he cursed irritably.

"Why are you sweeping the floor in the middle of the night! You walk so quietly, you're scaring people to death! Hurry up and finish, then leave!"

"Okay, officer, almost done."

The cleaner had her head down, and her voice sounded hoarse and old.

He pushed the cleaning cart, slowly moving closer to where Li Mingyu was.

The seemingly casual movements are actually the result of extremely precise calculations of the distance and rhythm of each step!

When the cleaner was less than three meters away from Li Mingyu, he suddenly stopped.

"Officer, you dropped something."

As the cleaner spoke, she seemingly casually pulled a bunch of keys out of her pocket and waved them lightly in front of Li Mingyu.

"Ding-dong... Ding-dong..."

The metal keys clinked together, making a crisp sound.

However, to Li Mingyu's ears, the voice seemed to possess some strange magic!

The frequency of this sound perfectly matches the specific waveband of human brainwaves when entering the alpha state (relaxed state)!

Immediately afterwards, a faint, eerie fragrance drifted into Li Mingyu's nostrils along with the breeze in the corridor.

That's the distinctive scent of tropical orchids mixed with ether!

Li Mingyu felt a strange fragrance waft over him, and his already somewhat drowsy brain was instantly struck as if by a heavy hammer!

"you……"

Li Mingyu was about to speak when he found that his tongue had frozen.

In that instant, the cleaner's previously cloudy eyes suddenly shot out two chilling beams of light!

He stared intently into Li Mingyu's eyes, his previously hoarse voice suddenly transforming into a deep, penetrating, and seductive male bass voice:

"It's late, officer."

"The sleeping vicious dog should go and destroy the garbage that doesn't belong here."

These words were like a key, instantly unlocking the door to Li Mingyu's subconscious!

Under the combined attack of drugs and specific sound frequencies, Li Mingyu's already fragile psychological defenses collapsed instantly!

His pupils began to dilate rapidly, his eyes became empty and dull, and his original angry expression completely disappeared, replaced by a numbness like that of a walking corpse.

Deep hypnosis complete!

The Thousand-Faced Man stood still, looking at Li Mingyu, who had been completely reduced to his puppet, a smug and disdainful smirk curling at the corner of his mouth beneath his mask.

"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, I thought you were some formidable opponent."

"So, this is the kind of trash your men are?"

"This piece of trash thinks he can catch me? He's dreaming!"

The man with a thousand faces was inwardly mocking the police's incompetence.

He could make the police destroy the evidence without even lifting a finger. This feeling of having others under his control was so intoxicating that he was almost going crazy!

"Go, open that door, and throw that yellow file folder inside into the shredder."

The man with a thousand faces gave the final command in a deep voice.

"Yes……"

Li Mingyu nodded mechanically, like a soulless zombie.

He slowly turned around and stiffly pulled out his access card, which had partial access privileges, from his pocket.

"drop--"

The access card was swiped on the sensor, and the heavy security iron door of the evidence room opened slowly with a dull thud.

Li Mingyu walked stiffly into the evidence room.

This place contains evidence from various cases, and in a glass cabinet in the very center, there is a yellow file bag labeled "Core Evidence of the Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School Suicide Case".

Li Mingyu walked to the glass cabinet. Because he was under hypnosis, his strength was surprisingly greater than usual.

He smashed the glass with a single punch, seemingly oblivious to the pain as shards of glass cut his hand and drew blood.

He grabbed the yellow file folder and turned to walk towards the large paper shredder in the corner, which was in standby mode.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps...

The man with a thousand faces stood in the corridor, staring intently at the file folder in Li Mingyu's hand through the open door, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Once that file folder is destroyed, the only "flaw" he left behind will be completely eliminated, and his perfect crime will once again be flawless!

"Rip—"

Li Mingyu pressed the start button on the paper shredder, and the sharp blades began to spin rapidly, emitting a teeth-grinding cutting sound.

Li Mingyu lifted the file folder, about to stuff it into the shredder's inlet!

At this critical moment!
