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

South of the city, a hillside villa area.

This place is a veritable den of iniquity in Jiangcheng. Each villa occupies its own hilltop and is surrounded by layers of private gardens, resembling an independent kingdom with a high degree of privacy.

The Audi RS7 traced a smooth silver-gray arc along the winding mountain road, finally coming to a steady stop in front of an extremely luxurious, ornately carved, gilded iron gate.

Behind the gate is a magnificent manor covering nearly ten acres.

Classic European-style buildings are partially hidden among the green trees, and the air is filled with the smell of money.

This is the home of Wang Defa, the most philanthropist in Jiangcheng.

As soon as the car came to a stop, four bodyguards in black suits quickly emerged from the guardhouse.

They wore sunglasses and communication headsets, and their steps were perfectly synchronized, displaying extreme professionalism.

The four people stood in a row, like a silent black wall, blocking the car.

The leader raised his hand expressionlessly and made a firm "stop" gesture.

"Bang!"

The back door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Mingyu, who had been holding back his anger the whole way, strode out.

"Police! Serious Crimes Unit, please!"

He pulled out his ID, flashed it in front of the leading bodyguard, and spoke in a cold, hard voice.

"We suspect this is related to a gruesome dismemberment case, and we need to see Wang Defa now!"

However, the bodyguard didn't even lift his eyelids, only whispered something through his earpiece, and didn't move an inch.

Less than a minute later, a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class silently slid to the inside of the gate.

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and carrying a briefcase got off the car.

He strode to the door, a professional smile on his face as he looked through the cold iron bars.

"Good afternoon, officers."

"I am Mr. Wang Defa's chief legal counsel, and my surname is Zhang."

Attorney Zhang's gaze swept over Li Mingyu, Su Qingge, and Lin Chen in the car, his polite demeanor masking a distant and unapproachable air.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang is not feeling well today and is resting. He is unable to receive guests."

He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone steady yet sharp.

"In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, a search warrant issued by the head of the procuratorate or public security organ is required to enter a private residence for a search."

"Excuse me, did you bring them?"

Li Mingyu's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Search warrant?

They are relying solely on Lin Chen's almost mystical "nose"!

Where do we get the substantial evidence to apply for a search warrant?

"We're not here to search! Just conducting routine questioning!"

Li Mingyu tried to defend himself, but his momentum weakened considerably.

"Questioning?"

Attorney Zhang smiled, a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm in his smile.

"Officer, my client is a well-known philanthropist and People's Congress representative in Jiangcheng. He is not a suspect you can summon at will."

"Without evidence, without a summons, and even with illegal procedures, they want to come to your door for 'interrogation'?"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with a sense of oppression.

"I have every reason to believe that you are abusing your power and maliciously damaging my client's reputation!"

"If you do not leave, I will file a formal complaint with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Supervision Team, and all mainstream media outlets in Jiangcheng within half an hour!"

"you!"

Li Mingyu's finger was trembling as he pointed at the other person, but he was choked and couldn't say a word.

He felt like he had punched a piece of cotton.

Law, procedure, identity... the other party wove an invisible net, keeping them firmly outside the door.

All anger and authority become laughable, powerless rage in the face of the barriers built by capital.

Su Qingge clenched her fist, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She knew that every word the other party said was reasonable.

Forcibly breaking into Wang Defa's home without substantial evidence would have unimaginable consequences.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Seeing Li Mingyu's face turn red with anger, and Su Qingge looking utterly helpless, Attorney Zhang's smile deepened.

At this tense moment, when the situation was at a stalemate.

"Click".

The driver's side door of the RS7 was gently pushed open.

Lin Chen got out of the car.

He didn't even glance at the group of bodyguards and lawyers, but leisurely adjusted the collar of his newly bought beige sweatshirt, as if he were on a picnic.

His relaxed demeanor was completely out of place with the tense atmosphere on the scene.

All eyes instantly turned to him.

Li Mingyu glared at him with exasperation, thinking to himself, "You, the culprit, have finally come down. Let's see how you clean this up!"

Attorney Zhang, meanwhile, scrutinized the excessively young and handsome man with great interest, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Lin Chen walked to the carved iron gate and stopped.

He didn't say anything, but made a gesture that puzzled everyone.

He slowly closed his eyes.

The afternoon sun shone on his face, casting a quiet shadow on his long eyelashes.

He tilted his head back slightly, his nostrils flared, and took a deep breath.

[God-level Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Auscultation and Diagnosis] - Full Power Launch!

In an instant, the world was reconstructed in his mind.

Countless odor molecules flooded into his sensory world, where they were instantly analyzed, separated, and recombined!

The first scent to waft over is the rich and fragrant blend of wildflowers, rosemary, and lawns from the meticulously manicured estate.

Then, the fragrance was peeled away.

It was the faint smell of chlorine residue from the pool disinfectant, the volatile smell of premium leather and gasoline in the garage, and the smoky aroma of top-quality steak freshly cooked in a private kitchen.

These flavors, layered and complex, luxurious, create an olfactory barrier for the ultra-wealthy, attempting to mask all filth.

But Lin Chen's goal is not here.

His senses probed deeper and more hidden corners.

found it!

That faint, yet uniquely metallic, scent of blood, hidden beneath the rich floral fragrance!

It's like a poisonous thorn stuck in flesh and blood. No matter how much perfume you use to cover it up, no matter how much you wash it, that rusty smell of life's passing still stubbornly clings to some corner.

Along with it comes a unique cigar flavor, mixed with a slightly sour pine aroma!

"The Fragrance of Virtue and Kindness," that's right, it's it!

It was wafting out in wisps from the study window on the second floor of the main building.

Wang Defa was inside.

He was smoking a cigar while coldly observing the farce unfolding at the door.

However, that's not the most important thing.

Lin Chen's senses continued to extend, sweeping across the vast garden.

Suddenly, his brow twitched slightly.

In the southwest corner of the garden, beneath a field of prized Dutch tulips, a discordant scent wafted from the air.

It smelled of rotting plant roots and soil mixed with a high concentration of chemical fertilizers.

It's fresh soil!

And it's fresh soil that was turned over no more than 24 hours ago!

Beneath the pungent smell of fertilizer and earth, another odor was suppressed.

A forcibly masked stench of corpses and blood!

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

here……

This is the crime scene!
