Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 156 I heard you got robbed?

The nearby police station rushed to the scene.

Su Miaoyi presented her identification.

The drain cover was lifted, and a black plastic bag was pulled up and opened.

The stench of decay spread instantly.

Su Miaoyi wasn't wearing a mask, and the smell almost knocked her out.

She covered her mouth and nose and leaned closer to take a look.

It was a head and a pair of hands, and it had already begun to rot.

Preliminary assessment suggests it is a woman's head and a pair of hands.

Judging from the degree of decay, it has been more than a week.

It has only two hands and a head.

Su Miaoyi followed the police officers from the branch office along the drainage ditch to search for the rest of the body, but they did not find it.

The head and hands were already rotting, and if the rest of the body were in the drain, it would also rot and emit a foul odor.

But I didn't smell anything in other places.

Su Miaoyi put on gloves and, under the pretext of checking, touched her head and hands, but did not see anything.

The robber, along with the discovered head and hands, were taken back to the precinct.

All surveillance footage near this drainage ditch and its surrounding area must be checked.

The head and hands also need to be verified through DNA to confirm whether they come from the same person, and the identity also needs to be confirmed before continuing to search for the rest of the body.

After the police officers from the branch office left, Su Miaoyi stood there, looking at her black-screened phone and then at the surrounding stores.

Finally, she turned around and went into the subway station, rode back two stops, found a mobile phone store, and bought a mobile phone by swiping her card.

After leaving the mobile phone store, Su Miaoyi looked at her old phone.

On a certain day, month, and year, at 20 PM (the exact minute and second are unknown), I confirmed that he was gone. I am filled with immense grief.

However, the new phone is indeed fast and easy to use.

Su Miaoyi used her new phone to call a car and went home.
In the old streets late at night, shops with gray brick walls line both sides of the street, their roller shutters tightly closed.

It was past 2 a.m. and the streets were deserted.

The neon signs on the various shops glowed faintly in the darkness.

It rained a little in the evening, and the puddles on the ground reflected a red glow, adding a touch of eeriness to the quiet old street.

Suddenly, a creaking sound came from upstairs in one of the shops.

A window was opened above the shop.

After opening the window, there was no one in sight.

More than ten minutes later, a person suddenly fell out of the window.

The person, wearing pajamas, fell rapidly from the window, but was pulled back by a rope just before hitting the ground.

A girl in pajamas, with her long hair hanging down and her limbs dangling naturally, was suspended in front of the roller shutter of the shop below by a rope tied around her neck.

Both hands were missing, and blood was dripping from their wrists.

Above, a person dressed entirely in black glanced down from the window and then disappeared.

Early the next morning.

Su Miaoyi entered the Municipal Bureau and had just sat down when she saw Chu Xingrou walk past her with a handful of green leaves.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Chu Xingrou took a few steps, stopped, and then came back: "Sister Miaomiao! You're back!"

"Woman, did you miss me a lot while I was away?" Su Miaoyi leaned back, crossed her legs, and looked at her.

Chu Xingrou paused for two seconds, then stepped forward and said, "President Su, it's been so long, I've missed you so much it hurts."

"Ugh~" Qi Feng walked by with goosebumps and disgust.

Su Miaoyi and Chu Xingrou laughed.

"Sister Miaomiao, you finally changed your phone." Chu Xingrou looked at the phone on the table.

"With the new phone, it won't suddenly freeze while we're texting," Su Miaoyi said.

On one occasion, Chu Xingrou sent her more than twenty messages in a row, causing her WeChat screen to freeze and go blank.

"What about the old one?" Chu Xingrou suddenly asked.

“The old one,” Su Miaoyi said, looking at her.

Chu Xingrou laughed again. Su Miaoyi smiled too and asked her, "What kind of leaf is this?"

"A pomelo leaf." Chu Xingrou gave her one.

Su Miaoyi took it and looked at it: "What's it for?"

"To get rid of bad luck," Chu Xingrou said. "Sister Miaomiao, you have no idea how many times I've been scolded by my boss while you were gone. My mom said my workstation might not be clean."

Su Miaoyi slowly raised her left eyebrow: "You'll get used to it eventually. We've all been scolded before."

"Huh?" Chu Xingrou looked at her.

"What? You got scolded too? Who scolded you?" Zhuang Yanzheng's voice rang out from behind Chu Xingrou.

Chu Xingrou didn't even turn around; she was so frightened that she ran away immediately.

"Tsk." Zhuang Yanzheng clicked his tongue.

“Look how scared you’ve made her,” Su Miaoyi said.

"You're starting to feel sorry for her now." Zhuang Yanzheng placed the breakfast he brought on her table. "Didn't you just say that everyone gets scolded along the way?"

"It's a great pity that I never saw Captain Zhuang get scolded the most," Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng snorted and then chuckled, "I heard you were robbed last night."

Su Miaoyi's smile vanished instantly: "."

Who leaked this disgraceful information? It's really annoying.

Last night, after returning to Weiyang Palace, she spoke with Zhuang Yanzheng on the phone and told him about the human head and hands she found in the drainage ditch.

Breakfast was also arranged last night.

She deliberately avoided mentioning the robbery.

He found out today anyway.

"How's the case progressing?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"The head and hands are confirmed to belong to one person, and we are still reviewing the surveillance footage," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "We are also investigating missing persons near the drainage ditch, but there have been no missing persons reports in the past week."

"Living alone, renting a place?" Su Miaoyi said, "I took a look yesterday, and she doesn't seem to be very old."

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "The forensic examination determined that he is around twenty-three years old. There is still no information about the other parts of his body."

"Should we transfer it to the Municipal Bureau?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"No need," Zhuang Yanzheng said before heading to his office.

Su Miaoyi ate breakfast, then turned on her computer. Seeing that she didn't have any work to do, she opened a book about psychology and started reading.

It was just past nine in the morning.

Zhuang Yanzheng came out of the office, knocked on her desk, and then shouted, "Field team, grab your things and come with me, there's a murder case."

Su Miaoyi immediately stood up: "Where?"

"Over there on Xiangyao Street."

Su Miaoyi was somewhat familiar with Xiangyao Street.

After all, the last time I came to this place for an interview, I was followed by that man and woman and almost died here.

Xiangyao Street is lined with newly built shops on both sides.

When Su Miaoyi came last time, many of the rental properties were not yet rented out.

Quite a few businesses were open this time.

The crime scene was on a commercial street behind Xiangyao Street.

It was all shops, but they looked a bit old.

The crime scene was a clothing store.

When Su Miaoyi and the others arrived, they saw the person still hanging in front of the roller shutter door.

A rope hanging from the window above the shop was strangling the girl's neck.
