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

Chapter 162 The person is missing
Afterwards, Yan Cheng discussed the autopsy report.

"Xiao Xia, female, 20 years old, cause of death: mechanical asphyxiation, strangulation with hemp rope, fracture of the hyoid bone. There is a depression in the skull, which, after measurement, is consistent with the back of a cleaver."

"The deceased's hands were cut off, and there was no vital response at the wrists, which was determined to be a post-mortem injury. In other words, the hands were cut off after death."

"The killer's methods were not skillful; he made many cuts before severing his hands. This is consistent with the multiple knife marks found on the table at the scene."

"The DNA extracted from the blood at the scene all matched the DNA of the deceased Xiao Xia, including the DNA of the bloody handprint found on the second-floor window frame."

"The murderer's hands were stained with the victim's blood and paint from the scene, and he left blood behind when he left through the window."

"The deceased's hands are currently missing."

"The time of death was approximately eight hours ago, which is between 2 and 3 a.m. today."

"The victim had no other signs of resistance. The murderer first struck the victim's head with the back of a cleaver, then strangled him, then chopped off his hands, tied a rope around his neck, and hung him outside the window."

"The killer was very fast and very strong."

"Then, Wu Liang, male, 21 years old. Cause of death: severed carotid artery, excessive blood loss leading to cerebral hypoxia. His tongue was cut off after death."

"The wound on my lip," Yan Cheng showed everyone the photo, "was from when my tongue was being cut."

"The deceased's tongue was not found at the scene."

"The blood found at the scene was also confirmed to be that of the deceased, Wu Liang."

"Wu Liang also had no signs of resistance. Either the opponent was an acquaintance, or the opponent was very fast and strong enough to kill him with one blow. I personally lean towards the latter."

"After he died, he was bound with strips of cloth and made to kneel and kowtow."

"The way the murderer tied the cloth strip and the way he tied the rope for Xiao Xia are the same kind of tying method."

"The time of death was around 72 hours. Based on Wu Liang's live broadcast that day, he should have been murdered shortly after the broadcast ended."

Yan Cheng looked at the documents in his hand and said, "Judging from Wu Liang's posture of death, it seems like he is being made to apologize for his online remarks. Cutting out his tongue is also a punishment for him inciting cyberbullying, because he spoke those words."

"Xiao Xia edited text with both hands, so her hands were cut off."

"That's all I have here," Yan Cheng said.

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded, stood up, and displayed the image of the murderer captured by the elevator surveillance camera in Jinrong Community on the screen.

"Based on initial assessment, it is a woman, about 1.65 meters tall, weighing about 50 kilograms, rather thin, all in black, with no skin exposed, and the black bag on her waist probably contains a cleaver."

"Although Xiao Xia was a girl, she weighed over 100 pounds. It must have taken a lot of strength for the murderer to move her body to the window and throw it out."

"Wu Liang, an adult male, 1.85 meters tall, muscular, and weighing around 75 kilograms, was also killed almost instantly."

"Moreover, Wu Liang ended his live stream at 4:03 AM, and according to the elevator surveillance footage, the murderer was likely at his home at that time. Then the murderer entered the elevator again at 4:57 AM."

"In less than an hour, he completed the murder, cut off the tongue, tore the bed sheets, and tied the person to a kneeling position."

"The murderer managed to evade surveillance cameras. There are so many cameras installed by the shops behind Xiangyao Street, yet they only captured her silhouette."

"I didn't get any photos after exiting the elevator at Jinrong Residential Complex."

“Aside from the unknown hair under the sofa in Wu Liang’s house, no fingerprints or other clues were left at the two crime scenes.”

"Furthermore, she was able to find out who Wu Liang contacted, Xiao Xia, and even other people Wu Liang contacted on that chat app."

"She has strong counter-surveillance capabilities, possesses certain technical skills, and must be very skilled in combat."

"We've narrowed down the suspects to Shi Xiaoru and those around her. But so far, none of the people we've met or investigated match the criteria."

"Besides the technical department stepping up its efforts to find the people Wu Liang was in contact with, our focus should still be on Shi Xiaoru and the people around her. Shi Xiaoru's work involves contacting many people, and she handles many things herself."

"We need to check everyone at work and around us. In addition to checking their height, build and other characteristics from the surveillance footage, we also need to collect blood samples and compare the DNA from that hair."

"We need to expand the scope of our current surveillance investigations."

"Also, we need to find Xiao Xia's severed hand and Wu Liang's tongue. Let's start by looking in places where bodies are easily disposed of, places close to the crime scene."

Everyone took notes on the key tasks for the next phase.

"Does anyone have anything to add?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi raised her hand.

"Speak." Zhuang Yanzheng gestured with his chin toward her.

"The tools used in the crime," Su Miaoyi said. "Could we investigate the origin of the cleaver? Also, an iron hook went missing from Xiao Xia's residence."

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Yes, we need to investigate everything." After the meeting, everyone went about their business.

Su Miaoyi organized the current evidence and determined the direction of the investigation, but it would take time.

She went to the technical department, but they still hadn't found the person on the chat app.

She went from the technical department to the anatomy lab.

Yan Cheng was still examining the two bodies, hoping to make some new discoveries.

Many of the samples submitted for testing have not yet yielded results.

Su Miaoyi spent half an hour in the autopsy room, hoping to see something to speed up the investigation, but she couldn't see anything.

It was a little after three-thirty in the morning.

Zhuang Yanzheng returned from outside.

He went to see some of Shi Xiaoru's friends, close business partners, and her work team overnight.

There are many people.

They also led a group to collect blood samples.

There are also many people who are not in Jinghai, and we have contacted the local police station to help investigate.

After he returned, he went straight to the technical department.

Just as I arrived at the door, the technical staff came out.

"Team Leader Zhuang, we've found it." The technical department staff handed her the list. "These are the four people Wu Liang contacted. Besides Xiao Xia, there's another one named Luo Min; both of them are from Jinghai. The other two are from Luo City and Fengcheng."

"These are the details of several people who contacted Xiao Xia, and none of them are from Jinghai."

"Qi Feng, Chu Xingrou!" Zhuang Yanzheng shouted.

The two people immediately ran over.

“Contact these people and tell them to be careful,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Also, contact the local police station to get involved.”

As he spoke, he dialed the phone number of the man named Luo Min.

Shut down.

He glanced again at the address Luo Min had written down.

"You two go and call Su Miaoyi and ask her to come over," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Sister Miaomiao went to the anatomy lab," Chu Xingrou said.

Zhuang Yanzheng called Su Miaoyi.

It rang for a long time but no one answered.

Zhuang Yanzheng simply hung up and called Yan Cheng instead.

Yan Cheng answered the phone quickly.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Let's go somewhere together, Su Miaoyi and I."

Yan Cheng paused for a second: "She left the dissection room a long time ago. It's been more than three hours. Haven't you seen her?"

Zhuang Yanzheng was taken aback, hung up the phone, and then called Su Miaoyi.

While he was fighting, he went to the portrait room, but no one was there.

They went to the monitoring room again. Lu Zhishen was in the monitoring room, but Su Miaoyi was not there.

The phone rang and automatically hung up.

Have you seen Su Miaoyi?

Seeing his anxiety, Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since the meeting."

"Check the surveillance footage at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau, both the front and back gates." After saying that, Zhuang Yanzheng went to the technical department: "Locate Su Miaoyi's phone."

"it is good."
