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

The next morning.

Sunlight in Beijing filters through the century-old locust tree in the courtyard, casting dappled shadows on the blue brick floor.

Lin Chen was dressed in loose casual clothes, holding a watering can, and was slowly watering several pots of orchids in the yard.

These past few days have been filled with one case after another, making this moment of peace a rare treat.

Just then, the gate of the courtyard house was pushed open forcefully.

Su Ke'er rushed straight in.

She was wearing a white pleated skirt today, but the hem was covered in dust, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes were red like a rabbit's.

"husband!"

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Su Ke'er burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

Lin Chen quickly put down the kettle and hugged her tightly.

The girl in his arms was trembling violently, her fingers gripping Lin Chen's clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"What's wrong, Ke'er? Don't worry, tell me slowly." Lin Chen patted her back, his brows furrowing immediately.

"Something happened at the school...something happened at the school!" Su Ke'er's voice was thick with sobs, and her teeth were chattering. "A parent suddenly went crazy at the school gate this morning when they were dropping their child off at school."

"Going crazy?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Yes! He's usually a very nice person, always smiling at everyone. But this morning, his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he started roaring like a madman, smashing all the glass in the security room!"

Su Ke'er shuddered again as she recalled the scene.

"Several strong young security guards tried to hold him down, but they couldn't! He was ridiculously strong; he knocked over two guards and then lunged at them and bit them! He even bit off a chunk of flesh from Teacher Zhang's arm; it was covered in blood..."

"And then?"

"When the police arrived, before they could even take action, the parent suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and... died."

Upon hearing the words "immense strength," "biting," and "sudden death," Lin Chen's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

These symptoms are exactly consistent with the complete collapse of the nervous system and the overload of the brain's reward mechanism caused by taking an overdose of "ecstasy" drugs, resulting in physical frenzy and cardiac arrest!

Seeing Su Ke'er still trembling, Lin Chen immediately activated his skill.

[God-level vocal proficiency unlocked!]

Lin Chen took a deep breath, and a peculiar resonance arose in his chest.

"Ke'er, look into my eyes."

Lin Chen's voice became very deep, carrying a special frequency that could penetrate the soul.

"It's all over now. You're safe. No one can hurt you here. Take a deep breath and relax."

The voice was like a pair of warm, large hands, directly soothing the nerve in Su Ke'er's mind that was so taut it was about to snap.

Su Ke'er's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the fear in her eyes also dissipated considerably.

"Honey, I'm so scared..." She buried her face in Lin Chen's firm chest.

"I'm here." Lin Chen patted her hair. "Come on, take me to see your school."

Half an hour later.

Lin Chen drove his bulletproof SUV and took Su Ke'er to the affiliated high school of the music academy.

A long yellow warning line has been put up at the school gate.

The area was surrounded by onlookers and parents pointing and whispering, and several police officers were maintaining order.

The body has been removed, but the horrific scene remains shocking.

Lin Chen showed his badge as a special advisor to the Beijing General Bureau and led Su Ke'er directly across the cordon and inside.

The state of the security room was horrifying.

The tempered glass was shattered all over the floor, and even the door frame was torn and deformed. There were splattered bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and several riot shields were thrown in a corner, with clear dents and fist marks on them.

How could an ordinary parent smash a riot shield with their bare hands?

This is absolutely beyond the limits of human muscle fibers.

Lin Chen walked to the largest pool of blood and squatted down.

[God-level sense of smell activated!]

In an instant, Lin Chen's brain separated and analyzed thousands of odor molecules in the surrounding air.

The smell of blood, sweat, and earth...

Amidst the mixed smells, Lin Chen precisely detected a faint yet strangely familiar scent.

That fishy smell with a peculiar sweetness.

Bliss!

Lin Chen stood up, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

That old bastard Song Qingyun is not only using this drug to infiltrate high-ranking officials, but he has also started conducting secret human experiments on ordinary citizens!

Moreover, judging from the sheer intensity of the drug's effects, the experiment is clearly nearing completion.

"Ke'er." Lin Chen turned to look at Su Ke'er, who was standing not far away, too afraid to approach. "What's the name of this crazy parent? Where do they usually work?"

Su Ke'er thought for a moment and quickly replied, "His name is Chen Jianguo. I heard from his son that Chen Jianguo used to be a bricklayer on a construction site, but he couldn't do heavy work a few months ago due to a work injury, and he recently changed jobs."

"Where?"

"It seems she worked as a caregiver at a welfare home in the suburbs, called... Qingyun Welfare Home."

Upon hearing this name, a cold glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

All the clues formed a perfect closed loop at this moment.

Qingyun Group! Qingyun Welfare Home!
