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

Chapter 456: The scene was different from usual.
Qin Chengyuan drove Su Miaoyi to the funeral home.

Su Miaoyi saw two corpses.

The bodies involved in the accident were severely damaged.

On the way to the funeral home, Su Miaoyi learned about the case in detail.

The man was hit by a car after running a red light on his way home from the night shift.

His workplace is very close to his home.

I walk to and from get off work.

On the night of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, he went home as usual after finishing his night shift.

The road that the man often takes becomes nearly deserted around 11 a.m.

He should have walked on the sidewalk and waited for the red light.

But when he was about ten meters away from the sidewalk, he suddenly wanted to cross the road.

Because there were few cars on the road and the car was going very fast, it knocked the man flying.

According to the funeral home staff, the body was delivered in pieces.

What Su Miaoyi sees now is the result of the funeral director's restoration.

Su Miaoyi touched the man's neck; there were still wounds.

I originally wanted to check if he had any needle marks or anything like that.

However, the areas where inspections can be conducted are limited.

Qin Chengyuan put on gloves and carefully examined all the places that could be checked and seen, including the neck and arms.

Su Miaoyi was checking on the other side.

As she investigated, she saw footage of the man before he was hit.

Unlike before, this time she did not lose consciousness, but saw the scene clearly.

It felt like she was examining a corpse while a TV drama was playing nearby. She was both examining the body and watching the drama unfold.

Unlike watching TV dramas, where she sees things from a third-person perspective, she sees the scene from the perspective of the man lying in front of her, as if she were experiencing it firsthand.

The image in my mind stopped after the man was hit and sent flying.

Su Miaoyi examined the body while watching the video feed.

No pinholes were found.

Su Miaoyi and Qin Chengyuan then examined another corpse.

A homeless man.

His identity has not been determined to this day.

I heard that he had been wandering around the bridge where he was found for more than ten years.

No one knows his identity.

According to the investigation conducted by the branch office, this homeless man was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography and was a cultured person.

But when asked who he was, he would always just smile and remain silent.

Everyone who spoke with this homeless man said he was no ordinary person.

If he had just wanted to find a job, he could have lived a good life, but he chose to become a wanderer.

The police station closed the case; the homeless man had frozen to death.

Qin Chengyuan examined the deceased's face, then, while examining other areas, said, "I haven't handled cases in all these years, but I can tell there's a high probability he didn't freeze to death. Shouldn't we do an autopsy? Shouldn't we do a post-mortem examination? If there are any suspicious points, shouldn't someone point them out? If others can't see it, can't the forensic doctor? What have you been doing all these years?"

Su Miaoyi glanced at him furtively, but didn't dare to say anything.

When Director Qin gets angry, it's quite frightening. She silently thought to herself, "Someone's going to suffer."

After Qin Chengyuan finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and silently checked.

Su Miaoyi examined the corpse's neck and then his arms.

As she was examining the scene, she suddenly saw some more images.

I saw it while I was still fully conscious.

This time, however, she was momentarily disoriented because of her empathy with the deceased, which caused her conscious mind to momentarily become hazy.

The video wasn't very long, but it contained a lot of information. After the video disappeared, she didn't examine the body anymore; she just stared at the body's face.

The funeral home may not have moved the body because they could not find any relatives or family members.

It arrived in the same condition as it was before, and it remains so now.

The man's hair was very long, tangled and matted, with bits of cardboard, grass, and sand inside.

His face was very dirty, so dirty it was hard, and his beard was very long and matted.

It looks like someone who has been homeless for a long time.

The crevices under the nails were black, and the nails were very uneven.

After looking at him for a while, Su Miaoyi asked, "Dad, how old do you think he is?"

"Forty-something? Or almost fifty?" Qin Chengyuan straightened up and looked at the corpse's face.

“The branch office has absolutely no information about him. People who know him well in the area where he was homeless don’t know his age, name, or where he’s from,” Su Miaoyi said. “I’ve asked many people, and they say that when he first appeared in that area, he looked like a homeless person. At first, many people chased him away, but after a while, he didn’t seem to have any ill intentions and just stayed in that area. We don’t know where he came from. We can’t tell his accent either; he speaks very standard Mandarin. It happened more than ten years ago, so we didn’t pay much attention to him and probably don’t remember many things.”

"Some people say that his accent is the Jinghai accent."

Qin Chengyuan said, "It's probably because I've been in Jinghai for quite a while."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Dad, let's go back."

Qin Chengyuan looked at her: "Hmm?"

The body has not yet been fully examined.

He was worried that people outside might hear something, so he looked at her questioningly to see if she had seen anything.

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Qin Chengyuan said, "Let's go."

As the two left the funeral home and drove back, Su Miaoyi said, "The man who was hit seemed a bit off before the accident. I sensed that he wasn't fully conscious."

Qin Chengyuan glanced at her.

Su Miaoyi continued, "Team Leader Zhuang showed me the surveillance footage before he was hit. His gait looked very steady, and he seemed perfectly normal. The roadside was also normal, just ordinary greenery, and further away was the outer wall of the residential area."

"But as I was walking along, I saw a mountain of gold appear across the street, and I felt the same way the man who was hit was feeling.

"Hmm?" Qin Chengyuan asked, puzzled.

“There was a mountain of gold, shining brightly, right across the road,” Su Miaoyi said. “When the man saw the mountain of gold, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then walked straight over to see this suddenly appearing mountain of gold. After taking a few steps, he suddenly felt himself flying, which must have been because he was hit.”

"You're hallucinating," Qin Chengyuan said.

“Not bad,” Su Miaoyi said. “He didn’t reach the crosswalk, ran a red light, and paused for a few seconds while crossing the road. It all matches up with the surveillance footage.”

"When Jin Tian came out of the KTV, he was walking steadily, but after walking a distance, he staggered and fell down and didn't get up," Qin Chengyuan said. "Actually, according to the people who were playing cards, they would go through the back door. But Jin Tian went through the front door. At that time, Jin Tian's consciousness may have already started to become a little unclear."

“Yes,” Su Miaoyi analyzed. “The man who was hit walked very steadily towards the middle of the road after seeing Jinshan, according to the surveillance footage. His symptoms were actually similar to those of Jintian. An autopsy is necessary.”

Qin Chengyuan nodded.
