In the afternoon, at five o'clock, the sky had darkened, and fine snowflakes drifted through the air with the strong wind.

Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju sat in the car, listening to Ali's voice coming through the phone.

"This man's name is Ji Wei. His ID shows he is fifty-two years old, but he looks like he's in his early thirties. He has been working here for twenty-seven years, mainly dealing with blood collection and storage."

"He hasn't been promoted in twenty years, a good-natured man with very little status at the blood station clinic, including delivering blood at night, and even incinerating expired blood products himself."

"He's not married, has no children, owns a 52 square meter apartment in the Red Queen District, earns less than four thousand a month, and has a regularly licensed bent beam motorcycle. He seems very clean and gentlemanly. If it weren't for his ID, I'd think he was an energetic middle-aged man."

As Ali finished speaking, Qian Shanxue's voice came through the phone, "I've been monitoring him for a while now. There's no flow of spiritual energy around him, no divine sense detected. He stumbled when a colleague tripped him, and throughout, he didn't show any traits of a cultivator. So, I can basically determine that he is not a cultivator."

"This means he can't possibly be the murderer. Therefore, I think we can wrap this up. The evidence the criminal left at the female corpse's scene was probably just to waste our time and keep us from finding him."

Sitting in the car, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Don't draw conclusions too hastily. The victim was a street prostitute, a woman who sold her body for money. No one cared where she went. If he just didn't want us to find him, he could have simply not displayed the body. In that case, it might have taken us half a year to even know about this case."

Qian Shanxue was silent for a moment then said, "Perhaps we should start with the woman's clients."

Shen Qiang shook his head and calmly said, "The woman was beautiful, a street prostitute. If you really want to start investigating her, there are hundreds, if not thousands of suspects. By the time you've checked each one, the Spring Festival will have already passed."

"So trust my judgment. In this world, there is no love and no hatred without reason. Since the person pointed us towards Ji Wei, we can be certain that the murderer has some connection to Ji Wei."

Ali, not convinced, said, "Shen Qiang, you've only been dealing with these criminals for a few days? You egomaniac, you think you can guess everything? Maybe things aren't as you imagine. Perhaps the criminal just wants to flaunt his power and find a scapegoat to fool us."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang helplessly raised an eyebrow and said, "Ali, you're deluding yourself. If you were the murderer, would you do such meaningless things?"

Ali, disgruntled, responded, "Why wouldn't a murderer do that? There are many murderers who like to display their victims' bodies to mock the police. This kind of thing is common in history and exists extensively around the world."

Shen Qiang laughed, "If he only wanted to mock the police, he would place the body in the most crowded shopping center, not in an upper-floor rental house with just one neighbor. He wanted to attract the attention of the Dragon Group, not the police, understand?"

"I don't understand. You haven't studied criminology, so I won't believe a word you say," Ali stated.

Helplessly, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, you're right. I have not studied criminology. I am just a team medic. So from now on, if someone is hurt and calls me, I'm available. If no one's hurt, don't bother me anymore, okay? Because I'm very busy."

Noticing that Shen Qiang was clearly getting angry, Qian Shanxue said, "Ali, you went too far. Shen Qiang is a comrade who fights alongside us and is worthy of our trust and respect. You shouldn't have spoken like that. Apologize, you were clearly mocking him."

After a moment of silence, Ali said, "I won't. He holds a lower military rank than me; he needs to listen to me when I speak."

Almost at the same time, Ye Xiaolei suddenly interjected, "He's off work now, about to arrive at Shen's place."

This brightened Shen Qiang's eyes. Almost simultaneously, sitting in the passenger seat, Xiu Ju pressed her hand down on Shen Qiang's phone, shutting off the microphone, and coldly said to Shen Qiang, "This Ali likes you, she is trying to provoke you to get your attention."

Looking sideways at Shen Qiang, Xiu Ju forced a smile, then her face fell as she warned, "But I remind you, the Shen Family is neither a kindergarten nor a shelter. I don't oppose you liking women, for I know that male genetics determine that you'll be interested in many women. However, if you like a brain-dead woman, I'm going to be very upset."

"So you'd better make this Ali stay away from you, because I don't like a man who, acting like a nanny, smothers a little girl with attention."

Staring at Shen Qiang, who seemed somewhat unconvinced, Xiu Ju coldly said, "Shen Qiang, you must understand, you are the pillar of Heshenghe and the Shen Family. If you waste your time and energy on girls like Ali, you'll accomplish nothing."

"Trust me, she will constantly provoke you, her real intention to make you focus on her. Then, you'll have no energy to pursue your career, no time for cultivation. Both your life and our lives will turn into a mess."

"So, Shen Qiang, I'm warning you, such women, who think only of themselves without regard for others, absolutely cannot be brought into the Shen Family because one bad apple will spoil the whole barrel."

"Because she distracts you, she makes you angry, these emotions will affect your thinking."

"That's very dangerous. I will never allow any woman to threaten my man and disrupt my life. If your self-control isn't strong enough, I can help you kill her!"

Shen Qiang smiled helplessly and asked, "Don't you have confidence in your own charm?"

Xiu Ju coldly raised an eyebrow and retorted, "I'm just worried you can't control your lower half."

Helpless, at that moment, Shen Qiang turned his head and saw Ji Wei riding a curved-beam motorcycle coming from the street by the Blood Station in the Red Queen District.

"He's here."

At these words, Xiu Ju closed her mouth.

Meanwhile, watching the ordinary Ji Wei riding a curved-beam motorcycle, Shen Qiang subconsciously activated his Observation Skill.
