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

Chapter 369 was split in two.
It was right in the middle of the evening rush hour.

The car stopped and started frequently, and it took a long time to reach Guan Zhou's villa.

There was no guard at the villa entrance, and the gate was locked.

Because Qi Feng had informed Guan Zhou's assistant that they would be coming, the assistant was already waiting at the door when they arrived.

After a brief introduction, the assistant opened the door.

They glanced at the lock and then at the bronze key in the assistant's hand.

It's the kind of door that requires two keys to be used together to open.

I've only ever seen Su Miaoyi in TV dramas.

"Brother Guan prefers this kind of key. He said it has a retro feel to it. After I started working with him, he gave me a key too."

Su Miaoyi glanced at the exterior of the villa.

Indeed, from the villa's exterior to the surrounding walls and gates, everything has a rather retro feel.

They didn't say anything and went into the courtyard.

They started investigating as soon as I entered.

First, they found the footprints of two people.

One was from an assistant, and the other was from a longer period of time; it was the same as the footprints found in the woods of the park where the body parts were discovered.

"These are Brother Guan's footprints," the assistant said as they took the photos.

"Are you sure?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“Confirmed,” the assistant said.

“There are footprints here too,” Chu Xingrou said. “They should belong to a girl, wearing high heels.”

"How often is this place cleaned?" Su Miaoyi asked.

The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Maybe. If Brother Guan is in Jinghai, he will come back to live here and asks me to contact a cleaning service almost every week. If he is not in Jinghai, he will tell me before he comes back and ask me to find a cleaning service."

"When was the last time you cleaned?" Su Miaoyi asked.

The assistant said, "The day before Brother Guan went on vacation, he told me that he was going to take a break and go out to relax, and asked me to find someone to clean this place."

"The day before he was supposed to go out to relax, he asked you to find someone to clean the villa?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Shouldn't they clean before coming back? Why clean the villa before going out?
“I also find it strange, but I’m just an employee. I do what the boss tells me to do. What right do I have to ask why? If I ask too many questions, I’ll get fired,” the assistant said.

After looking around the yard, they went into the villa.

The villa's door also needs to be opened with a key.

No fingerprints were found on the door lock.

A fingerprint was found on the doorknob, and it was compared on the spot; it belonged to the assistant.

The villa has three floors, and they started checking it as soon as we entered.

Su Miaoyi and Yan Cheng went to the kitchen first, and then stood in front of the refrigerator.

What she saw in the footage was the murderer putting the victim's head into the refrigerator.

It was a very short shot.

She didn't see what the refrigerator looked like, nor did she see what the kitchen looked like.

Su Miaoyi and Yan Cheng exchanged a glance, then opened the freezer door together.

I did prepare myself mentally, but not enough.

A muffled thunderclap exploded in Su Miaoyi's heart. She shuddered and closed her eyes.

Yan Cheng's eyelids twitched twice.

The head inside the refrigerator was split in two.

A head was split in two, face outwards, and placed upside down in the refrigerator.

His head was covered in blood, and there was frozen blood in the freezer as well. Moreover, the separated edges were very uneven, and even frozen like that, you could still see bits of flesh and bone at the edges.

The nose was almost completely destroyed, and it was unrecognizable.

Su Miaoyi and Yan Cheng both paused for a moment in front of the refrigerator.

Zhuang Yanzheng walked over and saw the two of them standing in front of the refrigerator without moving. He went up to them and was startled, taking a deep breath.

Yan Cheng touched the inside of the refrigerator with his hand, and the top of the refrigerator was covered with bone fragments: "It looks like it was cut open with a chainsaw."

Su Miaoyi went to get the body bag, and Yan Cheng took his head out of the refrigerator.

The assistant heard the commotion and wanted to come over, but was stopped by Zhuang Yanzheng.

At the assistant's insistence, Zhuang Yanzheng did some psychological preparation for him, and Yan Cheng also tried his best to make what he saw not so terrifying.

However, the assistant was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and couldn't say a word.

I used a chainsaw to cut it open, but I wasn't very skilled at using it, so the cuts were messy, and the nose was almost completely gone.

Zhuang Yanzheng helped his assistant away.

Yan Cheng examined the head: "It was cut open while it was frozen."

So from the cut surface, everything inside the skull was still there; it wasn't removed separately like the internal organs.

Su Miaoyi whispered, "According to what I saw in the footage, the murderer first froze the head, then took it out and cut it off, and then froze it again."

"Yes." Yan Cheng nodded, looking at the cut on the head and neck. It wasn't a chainsaw cut, but a knife cut. "The skin on the face wasn't rotting, so it must have been cut off not long after death and put in the refrigerator."

Chu Xingrou checked the refrigerator for fingerprints.

Su Miaoyi said, "Since the murderer had already started cutting, why didn't he cut it all the way through? Instead, he cut it in half and put it back together?"

“The murderer wasn’t very skilled with the chainsaw, and the head wasn’t big or heavy. If it couldn’t be fixed in one position, it would be difficult for one person to cut it,” Yan Cheng said. “It was probably difficult, so they put it back.”

"Did the murderer return here a second time? Or even more than twice?" Su Miaoyi said.

“That’s possible,” Yan Cheng said.

Su Miaoyi didn't see anything, so she went to check the bathroom.

It's not the bathroom on the first floor; the bathroom on the first floor isn't very big.

She went to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Zhuang Yanzheng was spraying occult blood blue light reagent in the bathroom.

To the naked eye, there was no blood in the bathroom.

“It’s here.” Su Miaoyi looked around. “It’s the same place I saw.”

"The murderer killed the victim, dismembered the body, and then flushed the remains into the sewers bit by bit. Finally, he cleaned up the place. He must have stayed here for a long time," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Seeing that he had finished urinating, Su Miaoyi turned off the bathroom light.

Large swaths of blue light appeared.

The splatter was inside and outside the toilet, near the toilet, near the sewer, on the floor, on the walls, and on the glass door.

Zhuang Yanzheng took pictures of the bloodstain distribution and then collected blood samples.

Su Miaoyi went to the bedroom to take a look, shining her surveying lamp around.

No footprints were found on the floor, but fingerprints were found on the headboard. Only the top edge of the headboard was made of wood. There were five fingerprints, and all of them were intact except for the little finger fingerprint, which was incomplete.

Su Miaoyi collected fingerprints.

Zhuang Yanzheng came out of the bathroom and shone his survey lamp on other places as well.

Su Miaoyi said, "Fingerprints were only found here; the rest of the place was very clean. Either the cleaning staff cleaned it thoroughly and no one came in afterward, or the murderer cleaned it up."

After collecting her fingerprints, she simulated their position, as if her right hand was gripping the headboard.

Su Miaoyi was puzzled. Most of the time people are lying down in bed. Even if someone likes to sleep on their stomach, they can't just lie on the bed with their hands raised so high and grabbing the headboard. Won't their hands get numb?
She had this question in her mind, and the answer came to her in the next second.

She released her grip on the headboard and went into the walk-in closet.
