Liao Gang was speechless for a moment after his subordinates laughed at him.

"Taoist priest, why are you hitting people?!"

Qingyi said, "I'm beating you up because you don't know how to respect your elders. Look at me now, do I look like I have the strength to cast another divination?"

Liao Gang looked at Qing Yi and saw that his face was pale, there was still blood on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was indeed more listless than when he was crazy just now. He also felt that his request was a bit too much.

"I'm sorry, Daoist Master, I didn't think it through!" Liao Gang wasn't a stubborn person; since it was his fault, he would apologize.

Qingyi waved her hand, "Don't worry, with me here, I'm guaranteed this second-class merit award."

Rumble!

As soon as Qingyi finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind the blue sky and white clouds above, as if thunder was gathering and ready to strike at any moment.

Qing shuddered. He had spoken too quickly and revealed too much, which had displeased the Heavenly Dao with its Yin energy.

Qingyi glanced warily out the window, then raised her hand and made a zipping motion over her mouth.

"I'm not saying anything more, I'm never saying anything more."

The thunder then subsided.

Liao Gang looked at him, then at the window, his eyes filled with doubt.

Soon, the police car stopped in front of the Su family villa.

The property management staff received the message and were already waiting at the entrance.

As soon as Liao got out of the car, the property manager immediately came to greet him.

"Officer Liao, hello. I am the property manager of this villa complex. My surname is Zhou." The property manager handed over his business card and then asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, Officer Liao, according to regulations, I need to ask why you went in. The owner is not here, and in principle, our property management is not allowed to open the owner's door at will."

"The Su family is involved in a dismemberment case, and this is likely the primary crime scene. Time is of the essence. The search warrant will be delivered by the station shortly. Please open the door, Manager Zhou."

Upon hearing that the Su family was involved in the dismemberment case, Manager Zhou's face turned pale, and he trembled as he took out his key to open the door.

As soon as they entered, Liao Gang asked directly, "Where is the basement of the villa?"

"Here it is." Manager Zhou quickly led the way.

Liao Gang followed him into the living room and saw a small door at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.

Manager Zhou said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Officer Liao, the villa is the owner's private property, and we have no right to interfere, so we don't have the key to this basement."

They didn't even have a front gate originally, but the Su family moved out in such a hurry that they dismissed all the servants, so they left a spare key for the property management so that they could help clean the villa regularly.

However, the Su family only provided a key to the living room for their convenience in entering and exiting.

They didn't give us keys to the other rooms.

Liao Gang glanced at the small door, a very ordinary aluminum alloy door, and strode over and kicked it hard with his long legs.

boom!

The door panel, unable to withstand the weight, was kicked away by him.

A strong, foul odor suddenly wafted out from the basement.

"What's that smell? It's so stinky!" Manager Zhou, who was right next to Liao Gang, was the first to be hit by the stench, and his face immediately contorted in pain.

As an experienced criminal investigator, Liao Gang immediately realized that it smelled of blood.

The little girl was right again; this really is the primary crime scene.

"Seal off this place immediately and get the forensic and trace evidence specialists here right away," Liao Gang said, then stepped towards the door.

"Hey!" Qingyi reached out and grabbed him. "There's a lot of resentment down there, be careful."

As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his cloth bag and was about to hand it to him.

Liao Gang didn't even glance at the talisman in his hand, but instead took out a glittering golden talisman from his pocket and waved it in front of him.

"No need, that girl gave me one before!"

Qingyi: ...

He was just being delusional!

But……

The young master gave him only an ordinary Heavenly Grade talisman, but gave a stranger a golden Heavenly Grade talisman!

Could it be that he is less important to the young master than an outsider?

He is not convinced!

Judging from Qingyi's expression, Liao Gang knew just how good the talisman the little girl had given him was.

He carefully put the amulet back into his pocket, even pressing it down, before taking a step down the stairs to the basement.

The basement was pitch black, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Liao Gang took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, found the switch, and pressed it.

With a "snap," a beam of bright white light shone down, illuminating the entire dark basement.

Large patches of blood fell into his eyes, and on the floor, walls, and ceiling, there were fragments of human muscle tissue.

When Liao Gang recalled the forensic doctor's words that the child was still alive and conscious when he was dismembered, his hand, which was resting on the switch, trembled spasmodically.

In my mind, I automatically pictured the child's father holding a butcher's knife, mercilessly hacking at the child.

The child was awakened by excruciating pain, struggling and begging for mercy, but his father ignored him and continued to cruelly wield the knife.

Liao Gang felt his fist throb with pain. "Damn it, you beast!"

"What beast?" Qingyi had just come downstairs when she heard this curse and couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Who would have thought that the cold-faced captain would swear?

Liao Gang composed himself and reverted to his usual calm and aloof demeanor as the criminal investigation captain. "It's nothing."

He lifted his foot and walked towards the spot Qiqi had indicated, then took out his rubber gloves.

There was blood on the floor tiles, but he ignored it and tapped the surface of the tiles with his finger.

When I tapped one of the tiles, I noticed that it made a different sound than the other tiles, so I immediately reached out and carefully traced the seams around the edges of the tile.

Sure enough, the floor tiles were easily pried off.

Beneath the 60*60 floor tiles lies a gleaming boning knife.

The boning knife was still stained with blood, as well as some flesh and bone fragments.

Liao Gang put the boning knife into the evidence bag, then got up and returned to the living room with a cold expression.

"Captain Liao..."

The forensic doctor and his colleagues from the trace evidence department arrived just in time. He handed the boning knife to the trace evidence department staff and, while removing his gloves, said, "As soon as possible, perform a DNA comparison with the body to confirm whether the flesh and blood on it is Su Zimu's."

"yes."

"By the way, did the Su family stop them?"

"My colleagues at the airport branch just called to say that the person has been stopped and will be sent to headquarters immediately."

Liao Gang's expression darkened. "I'll go back to the station first. You can handle things here."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qingyi quickly chased after him.

He had promised the young master that he would help Liao Gang solve the case.

Only after the case was solved would the young master agree to take him on as a disciple.

Meanwhile, the little master Qiqi, whom Qingyi was talking about, was sitting in a high chair, swinging her short legs, holding a slice of pizza in her hands, and eating it with great relish.

Seeing that her appetite was not affected at all, Madam Ji was completely relieved.

"Our Qiqi is such a good girl, you probably can't find another child as well-behaved as her."

Madam Ji couldn't help but laugh as she watched Qiqi eat.

Little Qiqi eats whatever she's given; she's not picky about food.

Unlike other children, they don't need to be chased or coaxed to eat.

Just like a little angel!
