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

Chapter 280 A Trip

"They didn't even spare the dogs?!" Chu Xingrou said angrily.

"The dog was poisoned," Yan Cheng said.

"The dog was also autopsied?" Lu Zhishen asked.

Yan Cheng nodded, looking at the test results: "It's a rat poison, in a very large dose. Judging from the stomach contents, the poison was put in the raw pork. The dog died after eating it."

"What are the results of Gao Hui's autopsy?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“The tongue cutting and lip stitching were done before she died,” Yan Cheng said. “A deadly poison was found in her body.”

He looked up at them as he spoke: "A single drop of blood can kill."

Zhuang Yanzheng, Lu Zhishen, and Chu Xingrou were all surprised when they heard this name.

Su Miaoyi's face showed little emotion, but her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the autopsy report in Yan Cheng's hand.

"Another one that kills instantly?" Lu Zhishen said.

"Could it be related to the previous case?" Chu Xingrou asked. "Could it be someone from Mia? If it's someone from Mia, why would they kill those two people? Is there any connection between the cases?"

They all fell silent for a moment.

Yan Cheng continued, "Su Miaoyi didn't see the masked man apply the medicine. I suspect that the murderer applied the medicine to the victim's injured lips after the victim fainted from the pain of being needled."

"It wasn't ingested orally; no trace of the poisonous substance was found in the stomach contents. So it must have entered the body through a wound."

"The killer's target was Gao Hui," Su Miaoyi said.

“That’s right,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “If he wanted to harm Tian De, he could have applied some anti-inflammatory ointment to the bleeding spot on the back of Tian De’s head, and Tian De would have died too.”

"The killer's target was Gao Hui, and taking down Tian De was just to make it easier to harm Gao Hui," Chu Xingrou analyzed. "Whether Tian De is dead or alive doesn't seem to matter to the killer. If that's the case, then it seems he didn't deliberately hide the fact that he wore a mask, right?"

"After all, if Tian Dewan isn't stupid, wouldn't he already know that the murderer was wearing a mask?"

“He’s already wearing a mask, so he’s not worried about being recognized,” Yan Cheng said. “Whether the mask is seen or not probably doesn’t matter. Of course, these are all just our guesses.”

Lu Zhishen searched for information related to Changshi or Yanjing Village and masks.

However, I didn't find any information.

"What about Tian Dajiang's autopsy?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Tian Dajiang's cause of death was drowning," Yan Cheng said. "However, methamphetamine was found in his body. He was likely addicted to it over a long period of time."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked through all the information about Tian Dajiang.

The villagers didn't know he was using drugs, and neither did his parents.

Moreover, he had no information on buying or selling.

“Tian Dajiang is a bachelor. His parents are old, and his income comes from the family’s land and occasional odd jobs.” Su Miaoyi had just read it once and remembered it all. “He has tens of thousands of yuan in fixed deposits in his account, and more than 20,000 yuan in his bank card, which is linked to WeChat. He is very frugal and does not make large transactions.”

“Drugs cost a lot of money,” Chu Xingrou said. “Then where did he get his drugs?”

“It was a premeditated murder; the killer probably planned it for a long time.” Lu Zhishen held a pencil, rubbing his thumb back and forth on it. “The killer gave him methamphetamine, made him addicted and hallucinate, and after a while, led him to jump into the well.”

Su Miaoyi thought about the information in the document.

“Gao Hui’s file says she has no enemies or people she has offended,” Su Miaoyi said. “But Tian Dajiang’s file says he raped a girl from the same village.”

Chu Xingrou quickly searched for Tian Dajiang's information.

Lu Zhishen also took a look.

"Why didn't you call the police?!" Chu Xingrou's tone was a mixture of surprise and anger.

The information was obtained through oral accounts from villagers.

No alarm information was received.

No penalty information was found.

The compensation was only a little over ten thousand yuan.

The compensation of over ten thousand yuan was actually given by Tian Dajiang's parents.

"Why didn't you call the police? How could you let that old bastard get away with this?" Chu Xingrou was furious. She continued reading the documents.

The following text states that the victim's family has been ruled out as suspects in the crime.

At the time, the family of four was in Changshi City, while the little girl was at her aunt's house. They were not in the village at all, so they had no time to commit the crime.

Chu Xingrou closed her eyes briefly in anger.

No fingerprints or other DNA information were found.

A few footprints were found.

The footprints identified the person as a man, who was about 1.73 meters tall and weighed about 65 kilograms.

Moreover, footprints were only found at Tian De's house.

No footprints were found near the well in Tian Dajiang's house.

Compare footprints with those of other villagers.

None of those matching the information had the time or motive to commit the crime.

After excluding other villagers, the scope of the investigation was expanded.

Several towns in the surrounding area were investigated, and the investigation lasted for a long time, but the murderer was not found.

Three years have passed, and the case continues to attract attention, but it remains unsolved.

“I’ll go over there,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked up at her.

“They’ve come to me, so I definitely have to go,” Su Miaoyi said.

“Indeed,” Lu Zhishen said. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for her to keep gazing southwest, and the case is more important.”

“We need to apply for permission to work in another location,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “We also need to communicate with the people in Changshi.”

It's not quite the same as going to Jiangcheng.

Jiang Cheng and Kang Ting took the initiative to ask Su Miaoyi to come and help.

They offered to help, so we had to communicate with them beforehand.

Different places have different ways of doing things, and poor communication can lead to trouble.

"They also had to cooperate with the investigation, since the same case of 'death by a single drop of blood' occurred," Yan Cheng said.

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

"Notify me when the application is approved," Su Miaoyi said.

“I’ll go with her.” Lu Zhishen looked at Zhuang Yanzheng. “It might not be realistic for you to go. There’s a lot going on at the Municipal Bureau. If I go, I can draw whatever she sees in time. In case she suddenly loses memory and walks out, I can keep an eye on things.”

“I can go there too,” Yan Cheng said. “There’s nothing much going on at the school lately, and Xiao Chen is also in the bureau.”

They are all people who know Su Miaoyi's situation very well, so it will be much more convenient to go with her and they can also look after her.

Chu Xingrou said one word, then fell silent.

It seems unlikely that this is something she will have to do.

“Zhishen and Xingrou should go together,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “I’ll go and talk to Director Meng.”

There are forensic experts in Changshi who can fill in if needed. However, there are no portrait artists there, and Su Miaoyi really needs their help.

Chu Xingrou and Su Miaoyi, the two girls, also had someone to look after them.

Moreover, Chu Xingrou and Lu Zhishen are both very skilled in martial arts. If Su Miaoyi suddenly sees something, the two of them can protect her.

"Okay," Chu Xingrou agreed quickly.

Lu Zhishen nodded.

Su Miaoyi remained silent and completely obeyed the arrangements.
