Guancheng Villa District was built on the south bank of the Jin River. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment was quiet.

Because of the excellent feng shui, almost all the wealthy merchants in Jiangzhou City liked to buy property here.

On the morning of May 4th, a strange murder case broke the peace of Guancheng Villa District.

When Jiang Jiang arrived, it was already close to noon.

The distant mountains were verdant and the trees were lush. The sunlight shone down and cast mottled shadows through the leaves, making it difficult for Jiang Jiang to open her eyes.

A yellow cordon was set up around Guancheng Villa Complex's Block 10A. There were reporters and onlookers outside the cordon.

She was wearing a navy blue work jacket and light blue jeans today. Her short hair was shoulder-length, and she was as refreshing and capable as usual. Her skin was as fair as water under the sunlight.

Jiang Jiang's beautiful almond eyes were filled with impatience. As she walked, she made a call."I beg you, Mom. Can you stop wasting your time? I won't go on blind dates. I've already said that I'm not interested in men in the same profession.”

" You wretched girl, how can you say that you won't see him? Shen He waited for you for an entire day yesterday. Do you know that Shen He…"

Mrs. Jiang's sharp and angry voice came from the receiver, almost piercing her eardrums.

Jiang Jiang took the phone away from her ear, lifted the cordon, and showed her ID as she walked in." That's all for now. I'm at the scene."”After saying that, she quickly hung up and entered the room.

There were two people at the door talking about something. When they saw her enter, they were both stunned.

She tilted her head and looked to the side. The crime scene in front of her shocked her.

A young woman was lying in the middle of the hall. She was wearing a dark red silk spaghetti strap nightdress. Her eyes were wide and her lips were purple.

The strangest thing was that the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was smiling.

The blood beneath him had long dried up, and his entire body was covered in colorful butterflies, as if he was holding a grand sacrifice.

Jiang Jiang was a little nervous, but he soon recovered."Hello, my name is Jiang Jiang. I'm in charge of trace inspection.”

She had just been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Unit from the City Evidence Laboratory and had yet to meet the people in the unit.

"You must be the trace examination expert transferred from the higher-ups. I've heard a lot about you! I'm Tang Chen, and that's our Captain Shen.”

Jiang Jiang looked in the direction Tang Chen was pointing and saw a young man squatting beside the corpse.

"Gloves."

A cold voice came from the front.

Jiang Jiang put on a pair of gloves and handed one to him.

"The victim was about 170 cm tall, wearing dark red pajamas, barefoot, and had light makeup on her face.”

The man had already put on his gloves as he spoke. He lifted the woman's left eyelid and continued," His lips are black and purple, and there are signs of poisoning. Livor mortis is bright red, which should be cyanidation poisoning. His corneas are moderate turbid, and his pupils can be seen through. The time of death should be more than twenty-four hours. We'll have to wait until we get back and do an autopsy.”

Jiang Jiang stood in front of the corpse and stared at the butterflies on the woman's body. The colorful patterns were messy and intertwined, like a huge and fine net that wrapped the woman tightly.

She used to work in the evidence appraisal center. This was her first time doing an on-the-spot appraisal.

Jiang Jiang looked around and carefully examined the traces left at the crime scene.

"The doors and windows are intact. There are no signs of struggle at the scene, and there are no footprints on the floor.”As she spoke, she walked to the furniture and examined it carefully. She continued," There are no fingerprints. It seems to have been cleaned by someone.”

The man stood up and frowned. He was very tall, and she could barely reach Jiang Jiang's chin when she stood beside him.

She looked up and happened to meet his eyes. Jiang Jiang then realized that the man had a cold and handsome face, deep facial features, and a pair of exquisite phoenix eyes that were slightly raised. It was not easy for such a person to exist in a place like the Criminal Investigation Unit where rough men gathered!

Jiang Jiang walked over, took off her gloves, and reached out to him. She smiled and said," Hello, I'm Jiang Jiang."

The other party only looked at her coldly and did not move.

The smile on Jiang Jiang's face slowly stiffened. The air around her seemed to have frozen. Her hands froze on the spot, and an awkwardness began to spread from her.

Tang Chen coughed loudly as a reminder. Only then did the other party look away. Two words slowly came out of his good-looking thin lips.

"Shen He."

Jiang Jiang thought that the famous Captain Shen was putting on airs for her because she was new here, but when she heard the name " Shen He ", she was completely stunned on the spot for a long time.

Shen He? Wasn't it the blind date whom she stood up on yesterday and who was said to have waited for her all day!

Why did she forget to look at the personnel list of the city's criminal investigation team before she came?

Jiang Jiang prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they would only have the same name. However, this idea was quickly rejected by himself.

Shen He was well-known in the entire criminal investigation circle of Jiang Province. It was impossible for her to not know that someone with the same name existed.

"Miss Jiang, I didn't have the chance yesterday, but I finally got to meet you today.”

She didn't expect him to bring this up first.

Jiang Jiang laughed awkwardly. Just as she was about to explain herself, someone rushed in.

"Captain Shen, the background of the deceased has been investigated. Her name is Yue Lindie, female, 33 years old, and the general manager of Yuwei Liquor.”

Xiao Chen paused and watched as Shen He wiped the sweat off his forehead. He continued," This Yue Lindie worked in the European branch of her company after graduating from university. She met her current husband in 2016, and the two of them registered their marriage within a month. Her mother passed away when she was young, and her father was Yue Lanqing, the largest shareholder of Yuwei Liquor Industry. He remarried 20 years ago. She also has two younger brothers who share the same father but different mothers. Their relationship is not that great.”

"Where's her husband?" Shen He raised his head.

"Her husband's name is Li Zijing. He is currently the sales manager of Yuwei Liquor.”

"Where is this Li Zijing now?"

"According to him, he was in Xin Hai City on the night of the accident to discuss business. We have already contacted him and are now rushing to the scene.”

Shen He glanced at the butterfly on the corpse,"These butterflies are all specimens, from the native white butterflies to the African long-winged swallowtail butterflies. Investigate the origin of these butterflies.”

"The butterfly's background has been investigated. Her father, Yue Lanqing, is a butterfly collector and loves butterflies as much as his life. This house was originally used by Yue Lanqing to display butterflies.”

Shen He turned around and saw Jiang Jiang squatting on the ground with a magnifying glass.

He walked up to Jiang Jiang and looked down at her." There's no need to look. It's very clean. There's no trace of a crime in the entire hall. There's no blood or fingerprints. It's like…"

"It's like the butterfly killed her!" Jiang Jiang stood up and said, meeting Shen He's gaze.#
