The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"This looks like a 'Blood Lotus'!" Although Wang Qian had never seen one of these things before, she had inadvertently seen a picture of it in the materials sent up by Hailong City (a county-level city) when she was in the Municipal Legal Department. The materials were very detailed, so it could be said that Wang Qian was very clear about the origin of this thing.

"Do you know what this is?" Seeing that Wang Qian seemed to know a lot about this thing, Li Gang couldn't help but look at her, revealing a look of inquiry.

"Do you know about the murder of Tang Hongyuan, the boss of Hongyuan Logistics, at the beginning of the year?" Wang Qian asked Li Gang rhetorically.

"You… you mean? This is that thing." Li Gang's face couldn't help but change.

How could he not be clear about this case? Tang Hongyuan of Hongyuan Logistics died at the hands of the owner of this red Blood Lotus, but because there were no clues, it is still an unsolved case. It was just surprising that although the higher-ups paid close attention to this case in the early stages, when the police in Hailong County compiled the case file and reported it, the higher-ups only encouraged them to look for more clues and did not give them too much pressure. Later, out of curiosity, Li Gang went to the Municipal Archives Department and checked the information on this Blood Lotus. To his surprise, a lotus flower had also appeared more than twenty years ago, but that one was a Black Lotus, the symbol of the once influential figure, the Fallen God. Back then, this influential figure was not only a headache for the police, but even the Ministry of National Security, which was full of experts, was very passive in his hands. Many old cases, even now, still show no signs of being solved.

Li Gang knew that the lack of pressure from above was probably related to linking this red Blood Lotus with the Fallen God of the black Blood Lotus more than twenty years ago.

This person claims to be the God of Darkness, obviously not the same person as the Fallen God. But who is he? Li Gang felt as if layers of mist had appeared before his eyes, as if he couldn't see the end. What the police fear most when solving cases is encountering this kind of impromptu crime, committed by someone who has no connection with the deceased. These kinds of cases are often difficult to solve; it can be said that there are no clues at all.

"Any discoveries?" Li Gang asked the forensic doctor beside him. His face was very bad. The number of unsolved cases piling up in his hands recently was increasing, which also made him feel unprecedented pressure.

"No, Chief, this person died around 1 AM to 3 AM. The time of death does not exceed ten hours, but no fingerprints were found at the scene." A female forensic doctor in a white coat and mask said to Li Gang.

"Hmm! That is to say, the perpetrator did not enter through the normal route?" Li Gang said, walking to the window and looking down. He discovered that the first and second floors were a full ten meters high. Was this possible?

Not only Li Gang, but also the other investigators at the scene were filled with doubts. Some people even had a very absurd idea in their minds: Could this person who calls himself the God of Darkness really be a god?

"Wang Qian, what are you thinking about?" Li Gang looked at Wang Qian beside him, who was frowning as if she was concentrating on thinking about something.
