Like the protagonist serial killer in that Cherry Blossom Country TV drama 'Calamity'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The windows on both sides of the white car were half-open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold wind blew in, exchanging the air inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the atmosphere inside the car wasn't too oppressive or tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, after these words, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly erupted like a volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The volcano was Ying Haijun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Jiang Ran with extreme shock, word by word: \"You... do you know me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran spread his hands: \"No, and have you ever seen me before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun: \"I haven't seen you before, so I think you might know me, but I don't know you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, from back then, you knew I used to be a criminal investigator but am not one now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what I'm investigating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you didn't know me, how could you possibly know these things about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun's face was full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran casually turned his head away: \"I already said, I can smell it. As for knowing what you're investigating, I'm a pretty smart person. Putting together the clues, I can guess a lot of things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun shook his head: \"I don't believe it. You definitely know me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran said: \"You don't believe that I really don't know you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people around you back then probably also didn't believe that the serial killer you're searching for really exists, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun froze abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two sentences were like a knife straight to his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he lowered his head and suddenly murmured to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your earlier guess was right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Completely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really was a criminal investigator before. Once, I was following the team working on a case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though the team ultimately ruled it a suicide, I always felt it wasn't as simple as a suicide case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But at the time, I didn't think much about it, I just memorized that case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, I was sent by the bureau for an exchange study to a city in another province.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, I participated in another case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That case was also ultimately ruled a suicide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, at that time, I felt this probably wasn't suicide either. It seemed very similar to that case I had firmly remembered before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there was no evidence proving it was homicide; all the evidence pointed to suicide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, I started paying attention to many so-called suicide cases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later on, I, along with our criminal investigation team, was invited to participate in the investigation of a major case in another province.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And during the investigation of that major case, I came into contact with a local suicide case that had occurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the saying goes, 'things should not happen more than three times.' I felt something might have gotten mixed in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I told a few colleagues about these things I had noticed, exchanging ideas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were initially interested too, but after some investigation, their conclusion to me was that they were suicide cases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no so-called serial killer you imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, serial killers committing crimes often have so-called common points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the few cases I focused on had no common points at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though some suicide cases had questionable reasons for suicide, they weren't unexplainable either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran smiled at this point: \"Heh, in that TV drama 'Calamity,' all the victims killed by that serial killer had a small section of their hair cut off and taken as a memento. That's also a common point. Yours probably really has no common points at all, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun let out a long sigh: \"Yes. So, after being dismissed by my colleagues, I also wondered if I was just overly tense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or if my greed, my strong desire to solve a super big case and make myself famous nationwide and worldwide, was at play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, from then on, my enthusiasm for investigating this matter wasn't as intense as before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until one time when I was looking for suspense crime dramas, I saw that Cherry Blossom Country's 'Calamity.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was after finishing this series that everything suddenly clicked for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How similar was the female police officer's experience in this series to mine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I immediately started re-investigating those few suicide cases I suspected with renewed focus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like the deceased at this gym this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They really did have a common point: they died when they were in despair, just about to receive hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told my colleagues about this again and recommended they watch that Cherry Blossom Country series.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran: \"But what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun smiled bitterly: \"Because of historical reasons, the hatred towards the Cherry Blossom Country is very strong here. So, when I recommended they watch a Cherry Blossom Country series, several of them said they wouldn't watch dramas from there. Of course, some still watched it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After watching it, they were also very surprised, especially comparing it with what I had investigated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in the end, they still felt that a TV drama is just a TV drama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if it's very similar, it's still just speculation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, it's too fantastical. Even if such a serial killer really existed, they couldn't possibly devote all their energy to this, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have many cases to handle every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I started investigating on my own, putting in effort. But my colleagues were right; I simply didn't have that much time available to allocate every day. So I resigned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was finally Jiang Ran's turn to be taken aback: \"So rash? Just for a serial killer whose very existence is uncertain, you resigned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun didn't make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran felt there was another reason behind his resignation, but since the other party didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ran, can you provide me with some clues?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Haijun suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ran yawned: \"Why would you think I can provide clues?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1160,"2026-06-09T04:42:25.177Z",1,"novelbin.me","074fb1dbbad933f740f2471da7bc83ea0e94570ecfd835d17c7c108d561fb4ac","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-532","great-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-chapter-530",670,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreat-it-s-the-pervy-neighbor-we-re-doomed-cover.jpg"]
