Brother Liu Kai.

The tattoo artist of Shop Number One, and also the owner of Shop Number One. Today, Shop Number One was closed for business. With two million dollars on his mind, how could he be in the mood to run the shop? The few workers in the shop were also given a vacation by Brother Liu Kai. So, today, only Brother Liu Kai was left in the shop. He lay alone on the tattoo bed, a cigarette in his mouth, pondering over what to do with the two million dollars—should he buy a car first, or a house?

In Jiangbei City, besides those luxury residences, an ordinary house is only about five to six hundred thousand, a slightly better one is seven to eight hundred thousand, a simple renovation would use up a million. The remaining million could be invested in other things, maybe even open a few large tattoo shops. By then, he would become the biggest tattoo shop owner in Jiangbei City. Anything, once it becomes big, everything becomes easier, because monopoly is the best thing. As long as there's monopoly, money can be made.

He even started planning how to spend the money—whether to buy a house first or a car.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Cool, damn it, what righteousness and morality, she was breaking the law in the first place." Brother Liu Kai snorted coldly, a ferocious look appeared on his face. There's no way around it, if a person doesn't work for money, they're doomed. So, he sought wealth wholeheartedly, even though it meant throwing his friend into jail.

Just as Brother Liu Kai was focused on seeking wealth, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

Knock knock knock...

The sound of knocking came.

"Who is it?" Brother Liu Kai replied.

"Tattoo!" came a deep voice from outside.

"Closed today." Brother Liu Kai hastily waved his hand, said: "Closed for business today, not doing business. If you want a tattoo, go somewhere else."

Creak...

The door, originally locked from the inside, was somehow pushed open by someone. Brother Liu Kai was immediately dumbfounded, he looked at the person walking in with a face of amazement. The person was dressed in all black, wearing a black baseball cap, hands in pockets, with a strange smile on his face. He sneered: "No, today I'm only getting a tattoo here."

"Uh..." Brother Liu Kai was taken aback, said: "I already said we're closed today, no tattoos."

"I'm not here for a tattoo." The man in black lifted the corners of his mouth in a peculiar smile.

"Then what are you here for?" Brother Liu Kai looked at the man in confusion, said: "This is a tattoo shop, what business do you have here if not for a tattoo?"

"I'm here for a tattoo, but I'm here to give you a tattoo." The man in black slightly raised his head, revealing a strikingly handsome face,

"Who are you?" Brother Liu Kai realized the person came with ill intentions, he retreated two steps.

"My name is Lin Chuan, I came specifically to give you a tattoo." Lin Chuan took off his cap and then smiled: "Come on, let's start the tattoo."

As he spoke, the corners of Lin Chuan's mouth slightly lifted. A five-inch long dagger slipped out from his sleeve.

Brother Liu Kai was suddenly shocked: "You... you are?!"

"I already told you, I'm the last tattoo artist of your life, here to give you a tattoo." Lin Chuan's face turned cold.

At this moment, Brother Liu Kai ran for his life. He wasn't stupid, he knew the person was definitely here to deal with him. So, he must run quickly. If he didn't run, he would probably die here today. Unfortunately, today he was destined not to escape this calamity.

Lin Chuan stretched out his foot.

Thud...

The person immediately fell down, also heavily tumbling outwards. Crashing into a nearby shelf.

"Ouch..." Brother Liu Kai screamed in pain.

Lin Chuan walked slowly towards Brother Liu Kai. Brother Liu Kai was trembling with fear, his whole body shivered, he hurriedly said: "You... don't kill me, don't kill me."

"I just came to give you a tattoo." Lin Chuan grinned.

"No... no... I don't want a tattoo." Brother Liu Kai hurriedly said.

"Betraying friends, betraying friendship. Forgetting loyalty at the sight of profit..." Lin Chuan said as he walked, narrating Brother Liu Kai's misdeeds. He laughed: "Blame yourself for saying things that shouldn't be said."

"Ah?!" Brother Liu Kai was dumbfounded, he hurriedly said: "No, tell me, what did I say that shouldn't have been said?" Brother Liu Kai shouted desperately.

"Hehe..." The corners of Lin Chuan's mouth lifted in a strange smile, then said: "Brother Liu Kai, you haven't forgotten about the matter with Yang Zi, have you?"

"Yang Zi?!" Upon hearing this, Brother Liu Kai collapsed, he hastily said: "Big brother, I... I was wrong, I shouldn't have, I really shouldn't have. I shouldn't have forgotten loyalty for profit, I absolutely won't testify in court, rest assured, I will absolutely not betray President Yang, please give me a chance, President Yang."

"No chance left." Lin Chuan's lips curled into a strange smile, and he snorted coldly, "Opportunity only comes once. Since you gave up that one chance, what you face now is death. Understand?"

With that, Lin Chuan stepped on Brother Liu Kai's chest and said, "Come on, it's time to celebrate your last tattoo in life."

"No, no!" Brother Liu Kai screamed in agony. In the face of death, everyone showed immense fear and terror. Brother Liu Kai's heart was in turmoil, and his whole body nearly shook with fright. He kept retreating, almost driven to madness.

Lin Chuan's lips curled into a strange smile.

Thud...

The knife was raised and fell swiftly into the other's throat. In a flash, the knife was pulled out again briskly.

In that instant, blood sprayed from the other's throat. Brother Liu Kai covered his throat immediately, unable to even utter a cry for help. A large amount of blood continuously flooded into his severed trachea.

Brother Liu Kai clutched his throat with both hands, the blood seeping through his fingers.

Lin Chuan had precisely calculated the manner of the other's death. Cutting through the trachea and arterial blood vessels would cause blood to flood the trachea quickly, leading to death by suffocation. Lin Chuan watched him roll around madly, forming gurgling sounds in his mouth, faint and light. Because his trachea filled with blood, he couldn't make a sound.

Soon after, the guy suffocated to death.

Afterward, Lin Chuan tore open the other's clothes and carved a large lettered tattoo on his back with a dagger.

After doing all this, Lin Chuan tidied up, wiped away all traces at the scene, and then, wearing a baseball cap, swiftly left the scene.

Early the next morning, Song Xiaojia was busy preparing materials at the police station. Since the normal subpoena time cannot exceed twenty-four hours, Song Xiaojia was applying to the procuratorate for Yang Zi's detention warrant. Once the warrant was issued, Yang Zi must honestly stay in the detention room without worrying about the twenty-four-hour legal effect.

While Song Xiaojia was preparing materials, a police officer hurried in from outside.

"Deputy Director Song, it's not good, not good." The male police officer said urgently, "Something big has happened."

"What happened?" asked Song Xiaojia calmly and steadily.

"The witness, the witness is dead," the male police officer said hastily.

"What?!" Song Xiaojia was instantly shocked, her expression changing immediately. "When did this happen?"

"After forensic examination, the time of death is estimated to be about eight hours ago," the male police officer said hurriedly. "This is troublesome, with the witness dead, Zhou Bin's case might lose another clue."

"Let's go have a look," Song Xiaojia said urgently.

Afterward, several people hurried out and happened to meet Zhang Wenhui at the door. Hearing this, Zhang Wenhui's expression also turned grave. He gritted his teeth and said, "An issue at this critical moment, it's really untimely."

"The witness was killed with a sharp weapon," the male police officer said quickly.

Upon arriving at Tattoo Shop No.1, several police officers were already guarding the entrance. Several criminal investigation team members were collecting evidence on-site. Items in the room were tagged and coded, some police officers examining fingerprints with magnifying glasses, others recording the scene with cameras, and others inspecting the scene's traces...

Song Xiaojia entered the scene, the first sight being a pool of blood. The body had already been taken away by the funeral home, but lime on the ground marked the deceased's position at the time of death, leaving traces for future investigation.

"How's it going?" Zhang Wenhui asked urgently, "Have any clues been found?"

"Not yet!" The criminal investigation team nearby shook their heads.

"Zhou Bin's case is still unsolved, and now we have another murder case," Song Xiaojia said with a face full of distress, "Oh, this is infuriating, what should we do now?"

"What do you think we should do?" Zhang Wenhui chuckled, "We can only find a way to solve the case."

"Alright." Song Xiaojia nodded in frustration. What other choice was there but to solve the case? If the case isn't solved, how can you justify the emblem above your head? How can you justify your paycheck?

There're very few clues on the scene. No footprints, no fingerprints left. Everything was cleaned up spotless.

"From the situation at the scene, the perpetrator has a strong counter-investigation awareness." Zhang Wenhui removed his white gloves and said, "The perpetrator must be a far-sighted assassin. I just looked at the photos, judging from the victim's wound; it was almost a one-hit kill. The cut precisely severed the victim's arteries and trachea. A lot of blood rushed into the trachea, eventually leading to suffocation and death..."

Zhang Wenhui carefully analyzed the situation at the scene.

"We don't have a single clue now," Song Xiaojia sighed, "not even a direction for the investigation."
