At 7:00 in the morning, Ling Lan stood in front of Gu Hanhao's Chevrolet SUV door waiting, waiting for the two at the entrance of the unit to argue out a result.

  Liu Fan means that regarding the murder case at the industrial base site, she has been involved from the beginning and cannot quit halfway now. She only executes the protection task. She requires executing the protection of Ling Lan while investigating with Gu Hanhao together.

  Gu Hanhao naturally disagreed and had already started putting on a leader's airs, using a commanding tone to demand that Liu Fan stay behind.

  "I think it's not bad to take Ling Lan with me for the investigation. Firstly, she is still under my protection, and secondly, we can also observe her reactions when questioning the objects of inquiry to lock in on the key targets." Liu Fan was still stubborn, although his tone was tough, but this was clearly him being playful with his superior, Ling Lan could see that he was actually being coy with the man he liked.

  If participating in the investigation of the case wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Ling Lan, thinking of Meng Yu Si who had gone missing, and Feng Jia and Yue Teng who had died tragically, Ling Lan suddenly felt a surge of motivation. She wanted to personally catch the murderer to avenge her friends and the innocent department head Wang Laoshi.

  Moreover, she didn't want to spend her days cooped up in a room with Liu Fan, watching his sour face waste away the time.

  Ling Lan walked calmly to the front of Gu Han Hao and Liu Fan, saying to Gu Han Hao: "Regarding your proposal last night, I can agree, but there is a condition."

  Five minutes later, the car carrying three people drove out of 101 Gongguan. Gu Hanhao was driving himself, Liu Fan sat in the passenger seat, and Ling Lan occupied the spacious back seat alone.

  Ling Lan noticed that Liu Fan was observing her through the rearview mirror, and she knew what Liu Fan was thinking at this moment. She must be very curious about what proposal Gu Han had made to her last night, and why this proposal was so important that it would make their usually strict captain agree to let an outsider temporarily join their team.

  The car drove from the bustling main street to a villa area with few people, and finally stopped in front of a three-story independent villa.

  Gu Hanhao got out of the car and instructed Ling Lan, "After entering, don't talk too much, don't interfere with our case handling."

  Ling Lan didn't say a word and excitedly followed behind them.

  Liu Fan pressed the doorbell and heard a man's voice coming from the intercom speaker, "Who is it?"

  Liu Fan didn't respond, he just stuck the documents in front of the lens. The lock on the gate clicked open, and as soon as the three people entered the courtyard, they saw a man wearing a black suit running towards them.

  The man politely introduced himself, his name was Li Wendong, the owner of this villa and also the private assistant to Shao Hui, the chairman of Hui Huang Investment Company. And this Shao Hui was the fat-bellied victim who died at the hands of the "vampire" that night.

  Li Wendong had already learned of Shao Hui's death, and he had previously interacted with Yuan Jun who came to confirm the identity of the deceased, so when he saw the police ID on the video intercom screen, he came to greet him.

  "After introducing himself, Li Wenzong said to himself, 'The sudden death of Director Shao has dealt a huge blow to the entire company. The company is now in chaos, and several directors want to take advantage of the situation to divide up the company's assets. As the only heir of Director Shao, Miss Shao Meiyan cannot come forward to preside over the situation.'"

  Li Wenzong had a bitter and resentful look on his face, as if he were a member of the Shao family himself. As he spoke, he politely invited the three of them to sit in the living room, and after they sat down on the sofa, he instructed the servant standing beside him to prepare tea.

  "Why can't she take charge? Is she underage?" Ling Lan couldn't help but ask her question.

  Li Wenzong apparently thought Ling Lan was also a young undercover agent, and replied politely, "To be honest, Miss Shao is already 20 years old, it's just that she has autism."

  Liu Fan glanced sideways at Ling Lan and changed the subject, continuing to ask, "When was the last time you saw the deceased Shao Hui?"

  "It was around 7 o'clock on the evening of that day when something happened, I saw Mr. Shao off as he left home and got into a taxi parked at the door."

  After entering, Gu Hanhao, who had been silent, spoke up, "Why take a taxi? Doesn't Shao Hui drive himself?"

  "Director Shao's body isn't too good, in the past whenever we went out it was always me driving, but from about two months ago, Director Shao would rarely let me drive him at night, instead he would take a taxi waiting by the door." Mentioning taxis, Li Wenzhong scratched his head, with a hint of pride on his face.

  "It seems you must have remembered the license plate number of that car? What is it?" Gu Hanhao asked Li Wenzhong.

  Li Wendong smiled awkwardly and pulled out a small notebook from his pocket, flipping to one of the pages and handing it to Liu Fan who was taking notes.

  Ling Lan pondered, and indeed the deceased Shao Hui had some unknown secrets. His personal assistant Li Wenzhong also noticed this point. Ling Lan thought of a movie she saw before, which had a golden saying for solving cases: don't easily exclude anyone from the possible range of suspects. So, this Li Wenzhong was also suspicious, although he was short and slender with small hands, it couldn't be ruled out that he might have hired someone to commit murder.

  "Can you think of any connection between Shaohui and vampires?" Gu Hanhao suddenly asked.

  Li Wendong was shocked, after all, he only knew that Shao Hui had died, but how he died, where he died and so on were completely unknown.

  "Vampire? If you want to talk about vampires, then it's actually closely related to Miss Shao. As for Director Shao, he has a strong hatred towards this kind of thing."

  Li Wendong led the three of them to the basement, which was a small projection room. The projection equipment was high-end and there were several comfortable sofas that could accommodate a dozen or so people watching movies at the same time.

  Li Wendong pointed to a cabinet by the door, his face with an odd expression. Liu Fan stepped forward and opened the cabinet door, but was startled and took two steps back, "What is this thing?"

  Ling Lan thought that Liu Fan was asking a rhetorical question. It was obvious that this was a vampire model, made by modifying the male plastic models used in shopping malls. First, a layer of white paint was applied, then a black long gown was put on, and finally, red paint was dripped onto the mouth.

  While the two women were studying the model, Gu Hanhao noticed that there were many vampire props in a nearby cabinet, including stakes, garlic, fake fangs, red and white face paint, crosses, as well as authentic DVDs of various vampire movies. It seemed that Ms. Shao was a pure-blooded fan of vampire movies, or rather, a fan of vampires themselves.

  "Miss Shao has been suffering from autism for three years. Three years ago, she was only 17 years old and seemed to have suffered some emotional shock. After that, she dropped out of school and locked herself at home every day, ignoring everything and everyone. Mr. Shao's wife had passed away early, and he only had this one relative. He spent a lot of money finding her the best psychologist and followed the doctor's advice, trying to get her interested in something, such as listening to music, watching movies, or raising pets..."

  "As a result, she became interested in vampires?" Gu Hanhao wiped the dust off the sofa and equipment. "At first, Shao Wei built this projection room for his daughter, but later on, she got to know some friends who were like-minded in her eyes, but in Shao Wei's opinion, they were a motley crew. She often brought them home and turned this place into a gathering spot, which made Shao Wei very worried that he would lose control of his daughter's development trend. So he drove away those riffraff, and the place was abandoned."

  Li Wenzong stared at Gu Hanhao with admiring eyes, nodding repeatedly. Ling Lan, however, secretly gave Gu Hanhao a white eye, this arrogant madman.

  "But the young lady's condition has improved recently, and the doctor is very confident that she will fully recover. She often goes to KTV and eats with friends she met in the hospital at night. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, she suffered such a big blow, I'm afraid..." Li Wenzhen sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
