"Sorry, I'm late."

Chi Chufeng walked into the office just as everyone was having a meeting, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

This Onmyoji is really handsome.

Chapter 611 Searching for the Missing Girl

"W-What's wrong?" Chi Chufeng touched his cheek. "The test results should be out by now, right?"

Another female forensic pathologist snapped out of her daze and quickly gave Chi Chufeng a friendly smile: "It's out. Judging from the residue in her stomach, the girl's last dinner consisted of potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, seaweed, rice, a little curry powder, and meat. We don't know the exact amount of meat yet, but the glycogen level was three times that of beef."

"Twenty-five times?"

"I don't know if it's horse meat."

"Would anyone eat horse meat?"

“In addition,” the female forensic doctor handed a test report to Chi Chufeng, “the blood test results show that the red blood cells have been completely destroyed, and this includes red blood cells from the entire body.”

29 “So it’s not just simple hypothermia,” Misumi continued. “Lord Akatsuki, your guess is correct. She probably froze to death in an environment below -20 degrees Celsius, which is very likely the case of a refrigerated transport truck.”

“And another thing,” the female forensic doctor said, taking another document, “the crystals on the victim’s hair are indeed salt. Because there are many impurities, it should be seawater. The composition list is not yet available.”

Chi Chufeng glanced at the examination report in his hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the intense gazes of the crowd.

Only Misumi was somewhat normal; when she wasn't smiling, she still had that indifferent face, with a hint of fatigue.

"You can get such detailed results just from gastric juice? That's amazing," Chi Chufeng exclaimed as he continued looking at the test results. "It's almost like a complete meal. But apart from the unknown type of meat, everything else is normal."

"The seaweed and rice are most likely seaweed rice balls, and... ah, it's still a bit of a stretch." The female forensic doctor and several members of the autopsy team became somewhat listless.

“It’s already very good,” Chi Chufeng said with a smile. “There are no useless clues. As long as we figure out the composition of the crystals, we can roughly know where the girl was before she was killed. Everyone has really helped a lot.”

Only after experiencing specific situations do you realize how challenging the work of a forensic pathologist is, and it's truly wonderful to have a group of professional forensic pathologists helping you.

Once the approximate location of the murder is determined through salt crystallization, the composition of the dinner will become the final evidence.

After the meeting, the forensic doctors went back to their own work, and Misumi hurriedly ran out of the office to catch up with Akatsuki Kaze.

"Lord Akatsuki, is it truly possible to find Matsukura Hana?"

“Of course, having clues means we’re getting closer to the truth,” Chi Chufeng stopped in his tracks. “Even if it’s just for that girl’s last wish, I will find Matsukura Hana.”

Misumi followed Akasaka Kaze out of the medical building and all the way to where Akasaka Kaze parked his car on the side of the road.

"If it's all true, did the murdered girl and Matsukura Hana originally have suicidal thoughts?"

"Maybe, but we need to confirm," Chi Chufeng paused slightly. "Judging from the piece of paper found in her stomach, she at least genuinely wanted to save people, so we can't just ignore it."

“I think so too,” Misumi bit her lip and asked casually, “What made you choose to become an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department?”

Chi Chufeng smiled and said, "Seeking the truth is also a way of hoping to do something for the dead and for the living."

Misumi looked at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Has it been found yet?"

The information about the murdered girl was found the next day. A casual bar was found through the girl's necklace pendant, which happened to be a small gift given to the girls in the bar.

The girl appeared to be a hostess hired by the bar.

When Akazuka arrived at the scene, Officer Mori was also there.

"MIKE? What's his real name?"

"I don't know, she was hired by the previous manager," the bartender replied reluctantly to Akachu Kaze. "She comes to work whenever she feels like it, takes her wages, and leaves."

“That’s it,” Mori said helplessly. “I heard from other girls that she was always writing things in her notebook, filled with things like ‘I want to die’ and ‘What will happen after I die’, so I can be sure that the suicide note was written by her.”

"Any more?"

"She lived in a nearby internet cafe, and her registered name was a pseudonym, 'Sanmao Mao'. All I knew was that she often bought instant noodles from there, and that she would look at a picture of a white night when she left."

Mori sighed, looking somewhat troubled.

"No matching missing person applications have been found yet, so we don't know if there are any family members."

"What about that website?" Chi Chufeng glanced at the bar girls chatting and laughing; one person's death seemed to have no impact on this place.

“Oh, right,” Mori suddenly remembered, “when we were preparing to investigate yesterday, we found that the suicide website had suddenly shut down. But we’ve already found the website administrator and their address. Would you like to come and take a look, Lord Akatsuki?”

"It's taking too long. Just let me know when you have news. I need to go to the Inspectorate Medical Center next."

Chapter 612 It was just a matter of a phone call.

Chi Chufeng took out his phone and took a picture of the girl's signature on the bar's signboard. The girl in the picture looked quite happy.

Homeless, running away from home.

This is the only topic that Sanmao and Matsukura Hana can barely connect on.

If the person was met through online social networking, there might have been relevant clues left behind, but the suicide website suddenly shut down during the police investigation.

Perhaps the website administrator already knows something.

"Ai," Akatsuka asked Ai on the phone, "Are you at the agency right now?"

"At the Inspectorate Medical Centre."

"Eh?"

“It seems the results of the component analysis are in.” Ai stood by the corridor and looked at Dr. Misumi, who was talking with her colleagues in the office. “Your forensic pathologist just happened to call the office again.”

"What do you mean by my forensic doctor?"

Chi Chufeng's eyebrows twitched.

“I’m going to the hospital now to tell them that we’ve found the place where the murdered girl worked. We only know her by the pseudonym ‘Sanmao Mao’ (Three-haired Cat), which may also be her online name.”

"A calico cat?"

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Examiner's Office, Akaso Kaze visited for the third time. As soon as he put on his work badge and entered the anatomy department office, he saw Ai and Misumi chatting together, looking quite harmonious.

"how's it going?"

"The testing team has already brought over the ingredient list," Misumi said, quickly pulling out a document after seeing Akatsuki. "After comparison, we found this one."

Chi Chufeng picked up a document about the quality of hot spring water: "Youlu Hot Spring?"

"When the Philippine Sea Plate sank beneath Honshu, it brought up a large amount of seawater. The seawater turned into water vapor due to the heat of the mantle, and rose to the surface to become hot springs. The Aru Hot Spring is one of the best in the world. Its salt concentration is twice that of seawater, and it is closer to the composition ratio on the composition table than seawater."

Misumi chuckled and pulled out a promotional poster for the Yushi Onsen Resort: "And there's also this, venison with extremely high glycogen content, how about it?"

"venison?"

Chi Chufeng took the poster and carefully examined the appraisal form. He then widened his eyes slightly as he looked at Sancheng: "You've already found the exact location?"

"In other words, the last place the three-haired cat visited was probably Aru Onsen, where it had its last dinner before being killed. Once the exact location is confirmed, we can start the investigation from the surrounding area."

"No, something bad has happened!" The intern suddenly rushed into the office, panting and anxiously saying, "The director just contacted the police station, and it seems they're planning to abandon the investigation!"

"Huh? Why? We finally got another lead."

"They said they confirmed the suicide note was left by the person in question, but they couldn't find a match in any missing person applications. The victim was alone, and the Sato family wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so the police station planned to treat it as a forced suicide and identify Sato Shoichi as the murderer!"

"How could this be?"

The anatomy class members' faces instantly turned grim.

"But didn't Officer Mori go to investigate the administrator of that suicide website?"

"I heard it was the idea from above."

“Not surprising,” an old forensic doctor said as he walked into the office, unfazed. “The police have many big cases on their hands. It’s better to avoid trouble with this kind of troublesome suicide case. Pretending not to have seen it will make everyone happy.”

"But what about Matsukura Hana?" Misumi clenched her fingers, as if she could see the girl Sanmao's face again whenever she closed her eyes.

"There is another girl who may be imprisoned. Xiao Sanmao couldn't save her when she was alive, but at least she should save the girl she was willing to protect even at the cost of her life. This was her last plea."

"There's nothing we can do about it. There's no evidence to confirm that there really is another girl. The girl named Matsukura Hanachi will probably find someone else."

"What about the murderer?"

“Little Sanmao, who could eat the crumpled paper pleading for help,” Misumi’s eyes reddened slightly, “is just ignoring her prayers because of a suicide note and no relatives looking for her?”

"this."

"Is there no other way?"

The autopsy team members were somewhat dejected, and the old forensic doctor shook his head helplessly, saying, "We have done our best. After all, a forensic doctor is just a forensic doctor."

"Excuse me," Chi Chufeng put down the examination, looked at the anatomy class members who had suddenly become chaotic, and gently raised his hand, "This was the idea from above. Whose idea was it?"

Misumi paused for a moment, then turned to Akatsuki, opening his mouth slightly: "Ah, I almost forgot! Lord Akatsuki must have a way."

"Inspector Megure, there might be a girl in danger right now, she could be killed at any moment. It's nothing, I just happened to be there. The forensic doctor here is very skilled."

In the anatomy department office, Chi Chufeng hung up the phone amidst the stunned gazes of the many forensic doctors.

"No problem, the Metropolitan Police Department will contact the Nishimushino Police Station, but we need to find more clues as soon as possible."

"Wow, that's impressive. Lord Chichu's influence in the Metropolitan Police Department is indeed considerable." The old forensic doctor exclaimed in amazement.
