    🔥The Murder Code | A Death Ritual Hidden in Numbers🔥 The moment the safe opened, the hollow eye sockets of a charred skull stared at the world, concealing a bloody secret spanning ten years amidst the stench. When forensic expert Lao Guo trembled as he typed "170327," everyone felt a chill run down their spines—this string of numbers was the murderer's meticulously crafted death code! While the forensic investigators were trapped in the birthday mystery, Lao Guo saw through the blood-red numbers' trickery: 170327 was Kang Jianwei's anniversary with the victim, ultimately becoming the safe's code for his mistress's head, twisting love and desire into a digital prison. The clash of Zhou Wei and Guo Bin's thoughts, and Lao Guo's meticulous deduction, tore apart the seemingly ordinary six-digit code into a shocking twist—the most cruel murder weapon was never a knife or gun, but the human heart deeply mired in sin. The author uses the forensic scene as a chessboard, constructing a bloody mystery with cryptography. When investigative logic collides with the abyss of humanity, every number hides a heart-wrenching truth. The skull in the safe is not the end, but the key to a darker conspiracy... Do you dare to unlock this deadly code?
