False evidence

Chapter 377 No Need for a Funeral
I noticed the change in the young man's expression and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Who would have thought that upon seeing this, several images would flash through my mind in a daze.

I said to Gao He, "This trip was definitely worthwhile."

"how?"

Gao He observed the young man's expression and sized him up.

Zhai Yutian also noticed the strange look in my eyes. His eyes darted around, and he released the young man to introduce him to us:

"No jokes. His name is Tong Jinhan. He just started working at the beginning of this month. He's my apprentice."

I said, "Then you'll just have to find a new apprentice."

"What do you mean?"

I took a step back, standing behind Gao He, and stared at Tong Jinhan with a somewhat intimidating air, saying in a deep voice:

"Your master told me that in your line of work, the most important thing is to respect the deceased. Do you think you deserve that? Are you going to confess yourself, or let the police find Jiang Yazhen's body?"

Tong Jinhan's face changed drastically, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he stammered:

“I confess, I confess! I took money from Jiang Dahai. He asked me to hide the body. He also asked me to do makeup for his girlfriend... to make her look like Jiang Yazhen.”

"You bastard!"

Zhai Yutian was so angry that she trembled all over, and finally couldn't help but slap him across the face.

Gao He stepped forward and asked sternly, "Where did you hide Jiang Yazhen's body?"

Tong Jinhan's face was deathly pale, making the five-finger marks appear like newly formed lividity. He stammered, "..."
"Still in the morgue, in...in freezer number 44."

They followed Zhai Yutian to the morgue.

Finding freezer number 44 in the corner, Zhai Yutian said with a gloomy face:
"Most of the bodies that are brought in are either prepared for burial and a funeral hall is set up for relatives and friends to say goodbye within one to three days, or they are cremated directly. Therefore, many freezers remain empty and unused."

"Open it."

Gao's face was as dark as if it were about to rain.

As the freezer was pulled open and the body bag was opened, Tong Jinhan let out a scream, staggered back a few steps, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Among us, Zhai Yutian was probably the least afraid of corpses.

However, when she saw the body in the body bag, she couldn't help but change color and shiver several times.

The female corpse had been prepared and repaired with makeup; her powdered white face was covered with frost.

However, the female corpse's lips curled up, revealing her teeth and presenting an extremely eerie smile!

"Cina-niang!"

In his mind's eye, Lü Xin gasped, "Better to hear ghosts cry than to see them laugh. This is going to be another strange occurrence!"

After leaving the morgue, Gao He made another call for backup.

I asked Zhai Yutian, "Where is Qin Suihong's body now?"

"In the dressing room, they are preparing to send it to the funeral hall."

I chuckled awkwardly, "You don't need to send it over."

"Why?"

I looked at Gao He: "Jiang Dahai and his girlfriend go without saying. Once the stuff is dug out from the factory, Jiang Youzheng will also have to go to the bureau to drink your jasmine tea. The whole family has been wiped out, who will keep vigil?"

When Lin Dan and his team arrived, they brought news.

"Boss, we dug up a metal cabinet at the back of the factory. Inside was a woman's corpse, a pair of rubber shoes, and an umbrella."

Gao He let out a long sigh, pulled me aside, and whispered to me:
"Could you say a few more words to save us some police resources?"

I nodded. "The girl in the metal cabinet should be named Feng Li. Go to the city hospital and check the patient records from ten years ago; you should be able to find her. If you can still find fingerprints on that transparent umbrella, compare them with Jiang Youzheng's. Also, check the soles of the rubber shoes for bloodstains or even bits of flesh. If there are, they should belong to Feng Li's father, Feng Gu." "Holy crap!"

Gao cursed under his breath, then turned and gave Lin Dan some instructions.

As they were talking, a commotion broke out outside the hall.

Gao He and I exchanged a glance, and then Zhai Yutian and I went outside.

A Jinbei van was parked at the gate, and several young men were dragging Lao Lu and Lu Ming out of the van like prisoners.

At the same time, several people rushed up and started punching and kicking the father and son, shouting and cursing.

"stop!"

Gao walked over quickly.

"Officer, the Lu family not only killed my sister, but now they've killed my mother too!"

Jiang Dahai pointed at Lu Ming and roared hysterically.

Gao He pointed back and said sternly, "Do you recognize him?"

Upon seeing Tong Jinhan being escorted out of the hall, Jiang Dahai's expression changed. "I...I don't know him."

"Be tough!"

"No, I really don't know him..."

I couldn't help but sneer, "To you, colluding with funeral home staff to act in a 'zombie movie' is just like when you stomped Feng Li to death in the factory basement ten years ago—just childish mischief?"

This time, not only Jiang Dahai, but Jiang Youzheng also changed his expression.

I walked up to Jiang Youzheng and looked him up and down. "You've taken good care of yourself. You haven't changed much since ten years ago when Cripple Feng came to collect his debts. Hey, let me ask you, do you eat steamed buns now? Do you make meat dumplings for Chinese New Year? When you eat the filling, do you ever think about how you managed to stuff Cripple Feng's body into the shredder?"

Jiang Youzheng was trembling uncontrollably: "I don't know what you're talking about..."

I said, "It's only 40,000 yuan, but it's three lives. 10,000 yuan per life? If you're so careful with money, wouldn't it be a loss to avoid taking a life?"

"How come there are three more deaths?" Gao He asked.

I stared at Jiang Youzheng and said, "Remember Cigarette Butt? The one who helped you sink the metal cabinet into the pond. Tsk, he offered you his two-yuan-a-pack Pegasus cigarettes, and you offered him a sausage laced with rat poison. You're really good at reciprocating favors. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Cigarette Butt just saw your wife off last night, and he said he's waiting to see you off."

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Jiang Youzheng collapsed to the ground, muttering, "I confess, I confess everything..."

Jiang Youzheng and Jiang Dahai were both handcuffed.

Whether they were Jiang's relatives and friends, or the cronies who had brought the Lu family father and son to them, they all scattered like birds and beasts at the first moment.

"Damn it, not again?!"

Suddenly, Erpang jumped out of the car, pointed upwards, and shouted, "That kid's going to jump off the building again!"

I looked in the direction he pointed and was taken aback.

On the edge of the roof of the office building, there stood a person—it was Lu Ming!
"Oops!"

I let out a soft cry, grabbed Zhai Yutian, and ran into the building.

Zhai Yutian led me and Erpang up to the rooftop, and we were all stunned by what we saw.

Not only was Lu Ming on the rooftop, but there was another person, who turned out to be Jiang Dahai's girlfriend, a woman named Zeng Yuwen.

I was filled with suspicion, and I could imagine the grievances Lu Ming would suffer after the engagement was called off.

This time, the father and son were beaten black and blue, as if they had been kidnapped, which may have completely broken his will. That's why he attempted suicide again.

But what's Zeng Yuwen's situation?
Judging from her appearance, she seems to be the kind of woman who is greedy for pleasure, selfish, and shrewish.

Why would someone like that want to end their own life?
