Despite his apparent concern, Jian Si was startled for a mont, and Nan Yu also looked at Jian Si with so surprise.
Jian Si said, "Let’s go. Li Ronghua’s place is not far from here."
Halfway there, the technical departnt got hold of Li Ronghua’s phone number, and Jian Si took out his mobile phone to call her.
"Auntie, are you at ho?"
"Why is it you?" Li Ronghua’s voice was clearly displeased.
"If you are at ho, lock your doors and windows and don’t open them for anyone, especially my uncle." Jian Si paused, "He’s on his way to kill you now."
Li Ronghua scread in disbelief, "What are you talking about? That loser dares to kill? Stop joking, I’ll leave the door wide open and wait for him to co and kill ."
Knowing Li Ronghua’s personality, Jian Si realized he couldn’t persuade her, so he handed the phone to Nan Yu.
Nan Yu spoke seriously, "Ms. Li Ronghua, I am Nan Yu from the Criminal Investigation Unit. We are notifying you earnestly to pay attention to your personal safety. The murder suspect is responsible for several lives and this ti he might be desperate."
At that mont, Nan Yu heard an urgent knocking sound from Li Ronghua’s mobile phone, his heart chilled as he said urgently, "Ms. Li, do not open the door, the suspect has a weapon in his hands."
Jian Si also beca tense, silently praying in his heart, Uncle, please don’t continue making mistakes upon mistakes.

Nan Zhan was squatting in the vegetable garden, where two technicians were also gathering evidence.
"Lawyer Nan, have you found anything?" soone asked.
"Yes." Nan Zhan stood up and pointed to the plant beside him, "This plant is called alfalfa. It is a type of forage, but there are no livestock like chickens or ducks that feed on grass in this yard."
That person said, "Maybe they just like it?"
"No, Jian Hedong is a very ticulous person. His vegetable garden is well-organized, and every inch is used efficiently, even the corners are filled with coriander. Such a person would definitely not plant rows of useless alfalfa without reason. The only explanation is that the crops grown here can’t be consud at all."
Upon hearing Nan Zhan’s words, everyone was startled.
"Start digging quickly, let’s see what’s underneath." Technicians imdiately brought a couple of people with tools, first pulling out the alfalfa on top and then began to dig the soil underneath. About half a ter deep, soone felt that the shovel hit sothing soft, and after a few more digs, a black plastic bag appeared.
Everyone hastened their pace of digging and eventually unearthed three black plastic bags from the soil.
After bringing up the plastic bags, everyone seed to guess what was inside, but when soone opened the bags and saw the decomposed, foul-slling human organs inside, a young policeman couldn’t help but run to the side and threw up violently.
The organs, all from female private parts, were placed in different bags for each of the three victims.
The forensics team stepped forward to seal the decomposed organs in evidence bags, while others continued searching the yard.
"No weapon found." Every conceivable place was searched, but the key weapon for the case was still not found.
"No need to search anymore, the suspect has the weapon on him." Nan Zhan took off his gloves, took out his phone and dialed Jian Si’s number, but before it connected, he decisively hung up and walked towards his car with the keys in hand.

Nan Yu, leading a team, hurried to Li Ronghua’s residence. Downstairs, they found a tricycle.
"It’s my uncle’s." Jian Si responded to Nan Yu’s inquiring gaze.
Nan Yu nodded and instructed his subordinates, "Go up."
Considering that Jian Hedong was a heinous murderer likely ard with knives, everyone drew their guns.
Nan Yu said to Jian Si, "Follow behind , don’t rush in recklessly."
Jian Si nodded.
Upon reaching Li Ronghua’s floor, everyone felt sothing was amiss, as her door was shut and there was no sight of Jian Hedong at the entrance. Could it be that Jian Hedong hadn’t gone to find Li Ronghua? Or, Li Ronghua hadn’t heeded the warning and had opened the door for Jian Hedong.
"Ah~" A piercing scream from Li Ronghua suddenly ca from inside.
Nan Yu had no ti to think; along with two others, he began to force the door open, but the security door was very sturdy and could not be opened by sheer force. At a critical mont, Nan Yu quickly dashed downstairs and climbed up the balcony from the other side of the small building, while the rest stayed behind continuing to pick the lock.
After Nan Yu climbed onto Li Ronghua’s balcony, luckily, the windows were all open because of sumr, allowing him to deftly climb inside from the window.
As soon as Nan Yu’s feet hit the floor, he heard Li Ronghua’s cry again. He followed the sounds and saw Jian Hedong wielding a sharp dagger and violently stabbing at Li Ronghua; however, due to her sturdy build, he hadn’t been able to subdue her imdiately.
"Stop it."
Upon hearing the voice, Jian Hedong quickly pushed Li Ronghua forward, circled to her back, and placed the shiny dagger against her neck.
"Don’t co any closer." Jian Hedong yelled at Nan Yu with eyes reddened, "Take one more step and I’ll stab her to death."
"Okay, don’t get agitated, I won’t co closer," Nan Yu stood still and did not move forward, instead trying his best to calm the sowhat out-of-control Jian Hedong, "Uncle Jian, I am Jian Chuan’s colleague, my na is Nan Yu, can we talk?"
Indeed, upon hearing Jian Chuan’s na, Jian Hedong’s agitated emotions slightly eased, but he still tightly clutched Li Ronghua in front of him, who had gone pale from fear. In the fierce struggle earlier, her body had been sliced by the dagger several tis, and now blood was flowing profusely.
Li Ronghua had never regarded Jian Hedong highly. From the ti they started living together until now, Jian Hedong had always been in a disadvantageous position, unable to fight back nor retort, subject to her bullying. Thus, she completely disregarded the police’s warning, because she didn’t believe that the feeble and incapable Jian Hedong would commit murder.
At this mont, the group outside also managed to open the door lock and poured in, and upon seeing the scene inside, no one dared to rashly step forward, except for Jian Si who quickly rushed over, shouting, "Uncle."
Jian Hedong had not expected Jian Si to be there as well, his brows slightly relaxing, "Sisi, why are you here?"
"Uncle," Jian Si, seeing Jian Hedong cornered like a trapped beast, had tears welling up in her eyes and her voice trembled, "Uncle, put down the knife, you can’t make another mistake."
Jian Hedong looked at her, a bitter smile flickering at the corners of his mouth, "Sisi, uncle can’t turn back now. I knew this day would co eventually, but if I’m going to die, I want this vile woman to go down with ."
As Jian Hedong spoke, he pressed the tip of the knife against Li Ronghua’s neck hard enough to draw a line of blood.
"Don’t kill , please don’t kill ." Li Ronghua was so scared that she turned pale, begging for rcy repeatedly.
"Uncle, let auntie go, please."
"Let her go?" Jian Hedong stared fixedly at Li Ronghua, "Sisi, do you know that it was her who single-handedly caused the bankruptcy of big brother’s company by colluding with Qian Zhide?"
Li Ronghua argued back, "Don’t you have any responsibility? If you hadn’t leaked the company’s confidential information, how could Qian Zhide have succeeded so easily?"
"I didn’t." Jian Hedong beca agitated again, "You all deceived , saying big brother’s company had broken the law and if it didn’t restructure, big brother would go to jail. You also said we shouldn’t alarm big brother in case he’d flee out of fear, which would only add to his cris. It was , I was the fool who believed your damned lies, which led to big brother’s company being taken over."
Upon hearing Jian Hedong’s words, Jian Si found herself unable to recover from her shock.
The Jian Family’s company was swallowed up with the involvent of Li Ronghua and Uncle?
"Jian Hedong, don’t try to paint yourself as a saint," Li Ronghua had also gradually regained her composure, seeing Jian Hedong in front of her who still seed like the sa timid, frightful coward not to be feared, "Don’t you have ulterior motives? Isn’t it for your brother’s money?"
"You’re talking nonsense, I don’t want my brother’s money at all." Jian Hedong’s emotions flared up again. The blade edged deeper into Li Ronghua’s neck, making several police officers on the side secretly sweat with worry.
Nan Yu hurriedly signaled Jian Si with his eyes, telling her to imdiately stabilize Jian Hedong’s emotions.
Jian Si tried to calm her sowhat turbulent emotions, continuing to speak, "Uncle, all those things are in the past, dad has also passed away, and I don’t care about it anymore, I don’t bla auntie, please let her go."
"Sisi, stop talking. I’ve wanted to kill this shaless woman for a long ti, she’s not only been ssing around with that Qian Zhide but also slept with that lawyer Liu, and who knows how many other n she’s been with over the years behind my back." Jian Hedong’s voice started to rise, "Won like her who have no sense of sha deserve to die."
"Uncle, please calm down." Jian Si imdiately extended her hand, "Can we talk? Just between us, uncle and niece."
Jian Hedong shook his head, "Sisi, uncle is sorry for you, sorry for big brother and sister-in-law. Other than killing this woman and then taking my own life as an apology, I have no other choice. Take good care of Zhengzheng, live well, and also... tell your big brother that I have no regrets, I’d do anything for him without regret."
Jian Si sensed from Jian Hedong’s words that he was making his last will, a bad feeling arose in her heart. Could it be that Jian Hedong planned to kill Li Ronghua and then commit suicide?
"Uncle, no, don’t you want to see big brother? Soone has already called him; he should be here any mont now."
Jian Hedong bitterly smiled and shook his head again, "Let him see his father, a murderer, end his own life? I was never competent as a father, he never respected . So, when I’m dead, he probably won’t be sad."
Jian Hedong then dragged Li Ronghua another step backward, his eyes flashing with determination, "Sisi, I am sorry, let’s et in the next life."
