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

Chapter 371 Is it you?

“The deceased kept looking towards the living room after coming downstairs,” Su Miaoyi said. “He seemed to be looking for something and didn’t notice that someone was hiding on the other side of the stairs. As soon as he got down the stairs, someone slashed his neck from behind. He clutched the wound on his neck, knelt on the ground, and then collapsed. I didn’t see anything after that.”

The murderer was right behind them the whole time and they didn't see him at all.

Moreover, judging from the head that was found, there were no wounds on the neck, because the neck was cut very badly during the dismemberment.

The murderer must have slashed it countless times before finally breaking it.

After taking the photos and turning on the lights, the four of them looked at the assistant.

The assistant had been sitting on the sofa the whole time. They had been investigating this huge villa for almost two hours, and the assistant had recovered a bit by now.

Lu Zhishen, Chu Xingrou, and Yan Cheng then checked the first floor again.

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng walked toward their assistant.

The assistant looked at them and said, "Can I talk to the company? Brother Guan has parents at home. I need to talk to the company. I can't handle this on my own."

“Okay,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Let’s tell them now.”

"Okay." The assistant made a call to the company to inform them.

Less than five minutes after I hung up, someone called again.

They asked him where he was, saying he wanted to come to the villa to take a look and help with something.

The assistant looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Let them go to the Municipal Bureau, don't let them come here again."

"Okay." The assistant led them to the Municipal Bureau.

After hanging up the phone again, Zhuang Yanzheng asked, "Does Guan Zhou have any other assistants besides you?"

“No more,” the assistant said. “Brother Guan doesn’t like having too many staff around him. After he leaves work, I’m almost off work too. He only occasionally asks me to handle some things.”

"Do you come here often?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“Not many. Brother Guan doesn’t like people coming to his place, so I’m an exception,” the assistant said. “He’s just too busy. Sometimes he needs me to come back and get his clothes or documents, or ask me to find someone to clean, so that’s why he gave me the key.”

"Besides you and Guan Zhou, does anyone else have a key to this place?"

The assistant said, "As far as I know, there is no one else."

Does he travel to other places often?

“He spends a lot of time traveling to other places because many of the artists he manages work in different locations, and he needs to travel to other places to negotiate many jobs,” the assistant said. “In addition, our company headquarters is also located in another city, and Jinghai is just a branch office.”

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"No," the assistant replied firmly.

Su Miaoyi looked at him: "So sure?"

“Guan’s work intensity is very high, and he has very little time to rest. He doesn’t have time to date or be in a relationship. And look at this house, how could it look like he has a girlfriend?” the assistant said. “Even if a girlfriend doesn’t come here, there should at least be some traces of a relationship. This is completely a single state.”

What he said makes sense.

However, there was a woman's nightgown in Guan Zhou's walk-in closet.

"Does he have any close female friends?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

The assistant understood what she was asking: "I haven't seen him at work, and I haven't seen him when I come over occasionally."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"Does he have any enemies or people he has offended?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“There are definitely rivals, the kind of opponents you'd want to curse at the mere sight of, but it wouldn't warrant murder.” The assistant’s face was still pale as he recalled what he had just witnessed. “To put it bluntly, everyone wants to make money, for their artists, for their own lives. How could they possibly kill someone over work competition? Wouldn’t that ruin their future? What would they be after?”

"Have you ever encountered a very extreme person?" Su Miaoyi asked.

The assistant thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

After the technical department arrived to open the safe, Su Miaoyi and the others returned to the Municipal Bureau. There were far fewer cars on the road, and the traffic was much less congested, so they were able to drive faster.

As they approached the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Su Miaoyi's phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number, registered in Jinghai. She answered the phone and said, "Hello."

"Hello," Xi Xian said, mimicking her tone. "It's me."

Su Miaoyi, Zhuang Yanzheng, and Yan Cheng were all sitting in the back of the car. The three of them were very close, and Zhuang Yanzheng and Yan Cheng could hear the sounds made by their hands.

Both of them paused for a moment.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded exactly like Su Miaoyi's. "It's you," Su Miaoyi said.

After buying the phone, she only added me on WeChat, but didn't leave her phone number.

"Why aren't you back yet?" Xi Xian asked.

"I have a case to solve, so I probably won't be going home tonight," Su Miaoyi said.

Xi Xian sighed, "Another case? Will I have to sleep alone tonight?"

"What are you saying?" Su Miaoyi said, "When don't you sleep alone every day?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhuang Yanzheng and Yan Cheng, who were watching her.

Chu Xingrou sensed something was amiss and looked back in the rearview mirror.

Lu Zhishen also turned to look at her.

“I’ve never lived in such a big house before, and I’m scared to live here by myself,” Xi Xian said.

Su Miaoyi glanced at them and said to Xi Xian, "Are you kidding me? Do you ever feel scared?"

“You’re not a ghost anymore,” Xi Xian reminded him.

Su Miaoyi: "."

Zhuang Yanzheng: "???"

He was very curious about who was on the other end of the phone.

The voice was the same as Su Miaoyi's, and it seemed that the person knew about her.

"Remember to feed the cat, bye." Su Miaoyi hung up the phone without hesitation.

Watching her hang up the phone, Lu Zhishen asked, "Are you in a relationship?"

Su Miaoyi: "How did you figure that out?"

“So cloying and saccharine,” Lu Zhishen said.

"Are you dating a girl?" Yan Cheng asked.

"What?" Lu Zhishen exclaimed in surprise, "It's a girl?"

He didn't hear the sound from the phone.

Chu Xingrou stretched out her gossipy ears.

Su Miaoyi looked at them and said, "I picked up a little sister a while ago. I'll introduce her to you sometime."

"Sister?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Ah."

"Did you find it?" Lu Zhishen asked.

Su Miaoyi said, "I guess so."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her: "What's your name? What do you do? Where are you from? Is your identity information accurate? Are you safe?"

Su Miaoyi knew he was worried that Xie Zhiyan had placed someone by her side, so she said, "It's safe, their identities can be verified, and we'll talk about the specifics after you meet."

Let's save our brains for solving the case for now.

Upon arriving at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Yan Cheng went directly to the Forensic Center.

The group went to the office area.

Qi Feng said, "Team Leader Zhuang, the boss of Di Yue Media and his secretary are here. They're in the reception room."

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Any news from here?"

"Not yet," Qi Feng said. "The blood samples from Guan Zhou's parents were collected in Dian City to compare their DNA with the dismembered body parts, but the results are not yet available. The results of the other comparisons are also not yet available."

“Okay.” Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Su Miaoyi, “You come with me to meet Di Yue’s boss.”

"it is good."

The two went to the reception room, and as soon as they entered, the people inside stood up.

The man looked at Su Miaoyi, surprised: "It's you? You're a police officer?"

Looking at his face, Su Miaoyi remembered that she had seen this person, named Di Jia, when she went to Jinghai University with her mother.
