Ten p.m.

The dim streetlights cast long shadows of the master and apprentice on the long street.

Yang Jinwen floored the accelerator, and the sidecar sped along the road. He had to work hard to keep the handlebars balanced so that the front of the vehicle could go straight.

Zheng Kang squatted in the car, his hands gripping the doors on both sides tightly.

The cigarette butt he was holding in his mouth had been blown out by the cold wind. He spat it out and shouted, "Hey kid, can you drive any faster?"

As soon as Yang Jinwen opened his mouth, a gust of wind rushed in: "Master, this is the fastest speed I can go. Another day, could you apply to the bureau for a four-wheeled vehicle?"

"Heh..." Zheng Kang laughed in exasperation; this kid hadn't understood what he meant.

"Master, did you bring a gun?"

"Just drive your car!"

"Master, there's a raincoat in the car. Put it on in a bit. It looks like it's going to rain again. Don't get wet and you might catch a cold!"

Zheng Kang ignored him because the car was going too fast, and he was feeling dizzy, nauseous, and wanting to vomit.

This car is parked in the branch office compound, and it hasn't been driven that fast in nearly ten years.

Yang Jinwen squinted at the dark clouds gathering in the night sky, and a pale bolt of lightning flashed through the gaps in the clouds.

Then, a thunderclap resounded.

"boom!"

Today is June 3rd, 1997. According to the trajectory of the previous life, tonight, the second victim of the 5*30 major serial murder case, Jiang Yan, will be murdered on her way home.

She was murdered in a wasteland in the sewers, and she was stabbed through the throat. The blood spurting out at the scene was gruesome.

Her body was later found in an abandoned well, reported by three teenagers who were fishing for frogs in the wild.

They found the abandoned well reeking of a foul stench and saw heads submerged in water. Terrified, they scrambled and cried out for their parents.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen's mind was racing, and he clearly remembered the details of the case as recorded in the case file.

Jiang Yan is a saleswoman at a department store. She gets off work at five o'clock, goes home, has dinner, watches TV for a while, and then receives a call from a colleague asking her to go ice skating at the floodlit rink.

The floodlit basketball court, located in a leisure park in the northern part of the city, was originally a basketball court. As soon as it got dark, it was occupied by young people from the community, who would skate on it while carrying loud tape recorders on their shoulders.

At first, the basketball players clashed with them, but later they found that ice skating was indeed cool, and they could openly hold girls' hands and grope them.

So these people abandoned basketball, bought roller skates, and happily joined the roller skating army.

Yang Jinwen and his colleagues from the security department had been to this place several times, so they were very familiar with it.

Half an hour later, Yang Jinwen abandoned the sidecar outside the park and jumped off without even taking the key out of the ignition.

Zheng Kang frowned and shouted, "Hey, how did we get here?"

Yang Jinwen said without turning his head, "Master, you come with me!"

"You'll work me to death sooner or later!"

Zheng Kang jumped off the car, cursing, and chased after Yang Jinwen with his old legs. After thinking for a moment, he ran back a few steps and quickly pulled out the key from the front of the car.

The closer you get to the floodlit stadium, the louder the music becomes; it's deafening.

"Ha! Under that street lamp."

A little girl is crying.

I don't know where she came from.

Ha! The little girl is crying so sadly.

I don't know who abandoned her.
Where should she go now…

A moment later, Yang Jinwen ran to the floodlit basketball court, below which were long, circular steps, where a few people were sitting.

The basketball court was packed with skaters, their figures overlapping, making it impossible to tell who was who. Zheng Kang had good endurance, but not stamina; he was panting heavily when he reached Yang Jinwen.

"You...you shouldn't stare at people like that. You're so tall, it's too conspicuous. People can tell there's something wrong with you just by looking at you."

"And... tell me, how did you know Li Chao would be here?"

Just as Yang Jinwen was about to answer, he saw two people stand up on the steps below, and he quickly went to greet them.

"Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Hong laughed and said, "You're pretty awesome, kid, making me do things for you."

Jiang Hong is the head of the security department of An'nan Steel Plant and Yang Jinwen's former superior. Because of his father's connections, Jiang Hong takes good care of him.

After arresting Li Hongbing, Yang Jinwen realized that he was not the real murderer, so he immediately called Jiang Hong and asked him to stake out downstairs at Jiang Yan's house to ensure the girl's safety.

If it had been a moment later, Jiang Yan would very likely have been murdered tonight.

Jiang Hong didn't know why Yang Jinwen did this, nor did she think it was the criminal investigation team's task. The criminal investigation team needed the steel plant's security department to assist in the case, so it wasn't a trainee officer who notified her.

Seeing Zheng Kangzheng approaching, Yang Jinwen quickly pulled Jiang Hong aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is the person you were keeping an eye on?"

Jiang Hong pointed down and replied, "Right down there, the girl in the red top, the one with the big wavy hair, that's her."

Yang Jinwen squinted, carefully examining the face. When the person got closer, he saw a face that was all too familiar.

The reason he was familiar with her was that in his past life and in the future, Yang Jinwen had seen countless photos of Jiang Yan before her murder.

A red wide-collar shirt, flared jeans, permed hair in big waves, and C-shaped earrings—a Hong Kong style outfit.

At that moment, Jiang Yan and a girl were holding hands and quickly gliding along the edge of the basketball court. In the blink of an eye, they were blocked by people chasing after them.

Yang Jinwen followed her gaze and asked, "Uncle Jiang, have you seen anyone suspicious?"

"There are suspicious people everywhere."

"Uh……"

Jiang Hong chuckled and said, "At least five young men tried to chat up this girl, and one hooligans even tried to hold her hand, but she pushed them away."

Yang Jinwen nodded.

Do you need any more help?

Yang Jinwen's eyes were blurry from looking so closely, and he lost sight of Jiang Yan several times. "Keep an eye on her for me a little longer."

"Okay." Jiang Hong smiled. "I remember you promised. I've been waiting for that bottle of Moutai your dad treasured for a long time. Alright, I'll go say hello to Captain Zheng first."

Zheng Kang walked over with a suspicious look, intending to hear what they had to say, but the two men immediately shut up.

"Captain Zheng." Jiang Hong took out a cigarette, pulled one out, and handed it to him.

Zheng Kang brushed the cigarette aside, followed Yang Jinwen's gaze to look at the ice rink below, and then asked, "Don't try to fool me, you must have found out something."

Yang Jinwen pondered for a moment and replied, "Master, before we came, I called and asked Section Chief Jiang to check on Li Hongbing's sister's house. Li Chao wasn't home; he came to the floodlit sports field."

Moreover, as I mentioned to you before, this case is very likely a serial murder case.

If the murderer is indeed Li Hongbing, then where did the victim Huang Cuicui's internal organs go? We still haven't found them!
We just found out that Li Hongbing's son, Li Chao, suffers from a severe mental illness. So, can we speculate that he was the one who took those organs?
If Li Chao is the real culprit, then he will definitely kill someone again!
We must catch him tonight!

As soon as Yang Jinwen finished speaking, dark clouds gathered in the night sky, followed by several loud claps of thunder.

"boom!"

"boom!"

A raindrop the size of a bean landed on Yang Jinwen's nose...
