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

Beijing Grand Theatre.

This place, which is usually dazzling and represents the highest art hall in China, is now shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme oppression.

More than a dozen police cars with flashing red and blue lights surrounded the theater entrance.

The glaring police tape, like a spider web, blocked off the entire performance hall.

The hall was brightly lit.

In the center of the stage, a pool of blood, under the spotlight, looked particularly gruesome.

Beside the pool of blood, a body covered with a white sheet lay quietly, silently recounting the tragedy that had occurred not long ago.

Directly above the stage, several meters in the air, a broken steel wire, like a severed thread of fate, swayed gently in the breeze from the air conditioner.

"Waaah... Teacher Liu..."

Outside the cordon, Su Ke'er was squatting on the ground, her head buried deep in her knees, her thin shoulders trembling violently, crying so hard she almost fainted.

She couldn't accept that her mentor, who had been kindly instructing her in vocal techniques just hours before, had become a cold corpse.

Just when she felt the whole world was plunged into darkness and cold, a broad and warm embrace held her tightly.

That familiar, comforting scent instantly enveloped her.

"Brother Lin Chen..."

Su Ke'er suddenly raised her head and saw that familiar, handsome, and cold face. The fear and grievances that had been building up for so long finally erupted!

She clung tightly to Lin Chen's waist, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lin Chen didn't say much, but gently patted her trembling back, using his body heat to dispel the coldness and fear in her heart.

His gaze, however, went over Su Ke'er's head and swept across the entire crime scene.

Cold and sharp.

Just then, a persistent, nauseating voice rang out from not far away.

"Did everyone understand? The on-site investigation report is ready!"

Bai Yu, who had greasy slicked-back hair and wore a sharp suit but looked like a clown, was holding a report and shouting loudly at the theater manager and several young police officers, spitting as he spoke.

He had just been publicly humiliated by Lin Chen in the case at the China World Trade Center, and desperately needed a case to prove his "expert" status and salvage his reputation.

This seemingly simple "accident" was like a godsend, a perfect solution when you're feeling sleepy!

Look here!

Bai Yu pointed at the report, looking confident and assured.

"The broken ends of the steel wire exhibit typical natural metal fatigue stretching patterns, and testing revealed that the stage's mechanical structure generally suffers from aging and inadequate maintenance!"

He cleared his throat and, in a tone that seemed to seal the deal, announced loudly:

"Therefore, this is clearly a serious workplace safety accident caused by aging equipment and negligence in maintenance! The cause of death was an accidental fall from a height!"

"Your theater, prepare to take full responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, the theater manager's face turned deathly pale, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The young police officers around them felt something was amiss, but looking at the "conclusive" conclusion in the report, they couldn't say anything to refute it for a moment.

Accident?

Another accident?!

Lin Chen released Su Ke'er from his arms and handed her over to Su Qingge, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, to take care of her.

He slowly, step by step, stood up.

Those eyes, which had once held a hint of gentleness, were now covered in frost, filled with chilling killing intent!

"Smack."

"Smack."

"Smack."

A crisp, rhythmic clapping sound suddenly rang out in the oppressive hall, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

As Lin Chen walked, he clapped his hands, his handsome face bearing an undisguised, chillingly sarcastic expression.

He walked towards Bai Yu step by step.

"Dr. Bai, you've really worked hard."

"If you don't need your eyes, I suggest you donate them to someone who does."

Lin Chen walked up to Bai Yu, looking down at him with a cruel smile on his lips.

"Two murders, less than 24 hours apart, and you have both asserted that they were accidents."

"I'm curious, did you take money from the murderer to deliberately protect him? Or... did you buy your so-called expert degree from some street stall?"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent!

Everyone was stunned by Lin Chen's merciless and vicious questioning!

Bai Yu's face instantly turned a deep liver color!

His wounds were exposed in public, and his sore spot was touched, so he jumped up suddenly!

"Lin Chen! You...you stop spouting nonsense!"

He pointed at Lin Chen with a fierce but weak expression, his voice becoming extremely sharp due to anger and guilt.

"We handle cases based on science and evidence! The forensic physical examination report is written clearly and plainly here! The steel wire broke naturally! What makes you question the scientific conclusion?!"

"evidence?"

Lin Chen gave a disdainful sneer.

"You idiot, you dare to talk about evidence?"

He was too lazy to waste another word on this good-for-nothing. He turned around, ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, and strode towards the center of the stage where bloodstains still remained.

"I will find the real evidence myself."

"Then, I'll stomp your stupid face, along with your nonsensical report, into the mud!"
