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

Three days after the voyeur case was closed.

Late at night, the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng was completely enveloped by a sudden downpour.

Large raindrops pounded furiously against the windowpane, making a dense "pitter-patter" sound, as if trying to shatter everything in the world.

Outside the window, the black sky was torn apart by streaks of pale lightning, followed by deafening rumbles of thunder.

Lin Chen nestled comfortably on the sofa in his small rented room, covered with a thin blanket, holding a steaming cup of goji berry tea.

Outside, the wind and rain raged; inside, it was warm and cozy.

This feeling made him feel lazy and comfortable all over.

He opened the mobile banking app, looked at the long string of numbers representing his balance, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Tsk, making money is still the most enjoyable thing."

With a cash reward of two million, plus what he had earned from the system before, he is now a bona fide small-time millionaire.

It's time to move this rental property, or at least get a bigger garage that can fit an RS7.

Just as Lin Chen was happily planning his future life...

"Buzz—Buzz—"

The phone vibrated abruptly, sounding exceptionally clear in the room filled only with the sounds of thunder and rain.

Lin Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually picked up his phone.

The name displayed on the caller ID made him raise an eyebrow slightly.

Jiang Tingxue.

Why are you calling so late, in this weather?

Is there some new case?

Lin Chen pressed the answer button and lazily began to speak:

"Hey, Dr. Jiang, why aren't you asleep so late? Want to treat me to a midnight snack?"

There was no cold, indifferent response on the other end of the phone as expected.

Instead, there was a series of rapid, suppressed breaths filled with extreme fear.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tingxue's voice, trembling and choked with sobs, burst out from the receiver, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Lin Chen...you...you need to come to the forensic center immediately..."

"The corpse..."

"The body...moved!"

The last two words were completely distorted in her voice, filled with unspeakable terror and collapse!

The lazy and carefree look on Lin Chen's face vanished instantly.

His fingers tightened around the phone suddenly, and his eyes sharpened like an eagle's in an instant!

He sat up abruptly from the sofa, his voice steady and powerful, carrying a calming force.

"Don't be afraid, stay where you are, lock the door, I'll be right there!"

Lin Chen hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation.

He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair, and without even changing his shoes, shuffled out into the raging rain outside in his slippers!

"boom--!"

The Audi RS7's engine let out a deep roar in the silent underground garage, and its black body, like a ghost, instantly broke through the rain.

The wheels kicked up large puddles of water as they sped wildly through the deserted streets.

Municipal Public Security Bureau Forensic Center.

Located on the second basement level of the entire building, this place is perpetually shrouded in darkness, and the air is always filled with a cold, damp smell, a mixture of formaldehyde and disinfectant.

At this moment, due to the unstable power lines caused by the torrential rain in the middle of the night, the motion-activated lights in the corridor flickered on and off, casting shadows that were sometimes long and sometimes short, like menacing ghosts.

Every drip of water, every hiss of electricity, was amplified in the deathly silence, creating an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of a horror movie scene.

Lin Chen's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

He pushed open the heavy metal door that was marked "Dissection Room".

The door hinges made a creaking sound that made your teeth ache.

The pungent smell of medicine hit me.

Inside the room, the usually calm and aloof forensic doctor, who remained unmoved even when faced with any mutilated corpse, was now huddled in the farthest corner.

Her white coat was somewhat disheveled, and she clutched a gleaming scalpel tightly in her hand, as if it were her only talisman.

Her face was deathly pale under the stark white light, devoid of any color, and her beautiful eyes were filled with unprecedented fear and helplessness.

When she saw Lin Chen appear at the door, her unfocused pupils suddenly focused!

That figure seemed to be the only ray of light piercing through the endless darkness!

"Lin Chen!"

Jiang Tingxue felt like she had found a lifeline, and her taut nerves snapped completely.

She threw down the scalpel in her hand, stumbled over, and buried her face in Lin Chen's arms, hugging him tightly as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

Lin Chen could clearly feel that her whole body was trembling violently, and she was ice-cold, without any warmth, as if she had just come out of a freezer.

"Okay, I'm here, everything's alright now."

Lin Chen gently patted her back to comfort her.

Jiang Tingxue rested in his arms for a while before the bone-chilling cold subsided slightly.

She raised her head, still not daring to let go, and extended a finger, trembling as she pointed to the metal dissection table in the center of the room.

"There... there..."

On the autopsy table lay a corpse covered with a white sheet. Judging from the outline, it should be an adult male.

That was a car accident victim who was brought in this afternoon. All the paperwork was in order, and the person was confirmed dead.

Jiang Tingxue's voice was hoarse from crying as she described the unforgettable scene that had just occurred.

"I...I was just about to perform an autopsy, and I turned around to get a scalpel from the workbench..."

"Then... I heard a sound behind me..."

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength.

When I looked back...

"The white sheet covering him... slipped down a corner..."

"His hand...his hand just hung down from the dissection table..."
