Chapter 25: Unclaimed Corpse
Lu Bai walked out of the interrogation room and turned into the small room.
She picked up the kettle on the table and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Ziyu rubbed his brows, his voice a little tired, "From a psychological perspective, there are two reasons why he is unwilling to identify the deceased."
"First, he loved the deceased very much and didn't want to believe that his loved one was killed or died."
"Second, he killed the person himself. He didn't want to face the mistakes he made and chose to escape."
Li Ziyu touched the tip of his nose and said, "Based on his attitude towards the deceased, I think the first possibility can be ruled out."
Lu Bai poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Ziyu. She sat at the table with her arms folded, "This line must be bitten to death."
She checked the time and slowed down her tone, "It's getting late. The police on duty are going to look for the deceased's family. Let's go back and rest for a while."
A case is like a continuous rotation, with only time to rest.
Li Ziyu's stomach also hurt a little, but she didn't intend to force it. "Okay, take me to the dormitory. It's important to solve the case as soon as possible."
Lu Bai is the captain, so of course she has a dormitory, but Li Ziyu is a consultant and not a formal police officer, so she doesn't have one.
So she had to live in the same room with Lu Bai.
Fortunately, the dormitory is a double room, so she doesn't have to sleep in the same bed with Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was sleeping on the upper bunk. She was looking at the ceiling, her mind full of thoughts.
Li Ziyu was sleeping on the lower bunk. She turned over and after a moment, she asked, "Are you asleep?"
Lu Bai: “No.”
Li Ziyu nodded, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Bai turned over and over, thinking about the case and also about Li Ziyu's words.
How do you feel about me?
I feel that way.
What do you mean... a little feeling...
Lu Bai took a deep breath. She felt that she was crazy. If the other people in the team knew about this, wouldn’t there be an uproar?
etc!
Do the team members know this? Can they see it?
I should have behaved normally and didn't show any intention of getting close to Li Ziyu.
Lu Bai was giving himself some "psychological comfort" and as he thought about it, he slowly fell asleep.
Criminal Police Forensic Division.
Zhang Hai yawned loudly, "Doctor Liu, do you want to go to sleep for a while?"
Liu Zhengfeng shook his head, still looking serious, "No, you go ahead."
Zhang Hai pulled a chair and propped up his head. "Tell me, what are our Lu team doing now?"
Liu Zhengfeng was working on a report on his computer, looking straight ahead. "What else can he do? He's probably with Consultant Li."
"Hey!" Zhang Hai became interested, "Captain Lu, do you like Consultant Li?"
Liu Zhengfeng was not interested at all. "I like it, so what does it have to do with you?"
The sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the office.
Zhang Hai scratched his head and said, "The leader of the Deer Team is already quite old, it's not easy for him to like someone."
His captain is now just short of hanging on to Consultant Li every day.
As long as the Deer Team really likes someone, he, as a brother, will definitely give his sincere blessings.
But he was afraid that Captain Lu’s stubborn temper would drive Consultant Li away.
After all, everyone in the team now tacitly acknowledges that they are a couple.
Someone in the dormitory, who had just finished comforting himself, sneezed loudly.
She sniffed and turned around.
The early morning light shone into the dormitory. Li Ziyu frowned slightly and sat up with her body propped up.
She casually rolled up her hair, took out a small wooden hairpin from her pocket and fixed her hair.
She tiptoed, picked up the disposable toiletries on the table, opened the door, and went to the public toilet.
After she finished washing up, Lu Bai came over with something and the two met.
"Good morning, Ziyu."
"morning."
Li Ziyu went to the office first.
Lu Bai lowered his head to wash up, and heard a familiar male voice behind him.
"I heard that Captain Lu and Consultant Li slept in the dormitory yesterday?"
"Yes, it's inside the dormitory."
“Oh~”
"Hmm~"
Lu Bai raised his head and saw Zhang Hai, who looked like a scoundrel in the mirror, and clenched his teeth.
She turned around and said, "What are you talking about? I want to listen too."
Zhang Hai's feet went weak and he almost stepped on an empty staircase. He smiled awkwardly, "Captain Lu, good morning."
Lu Bai glanced at the team member standing next to him, and the latter immediately walked away quickly, leaving Zhang Hai alone.
Lu Bai threw the towel into the basin, "Zhang Hai, how could I not know that you know me so well?"
Zhang Hai hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, it's a misunderstanding."
Lu Bai wanted to continue asking questions, but another team member found her.
"Team Deer, the deceased's family has been found."
Lu Bai pointed at Zhang Hai as a warning and followed the team member to the office.
As he walked, he said, "The mother of the deceased has been bedridden for many years and it is not convenient for her to come to the police station, so we found the relative of the deceased in Wuzhou, who is her distant cousin."
In the office, a well-dressed woman was sitting at the conference table, drinking water poured for her by her team members.
"How could my sister die? She still has an old mother to take care of. She never makes enemies."
The woman's voice was a little sharp.
Li Ziyu had already sat in front of her. She said calmly, "Please cooperate with us to identify the deceased."
The woman folded her hands and held the stand, "Don't you have that facial reshaping thing? You'll know after the reshaping is done?"
"We are businessmen, so we are very careful about these things. Please don't ruin our family's luck."
Liu Zhengfeng brought a photo and said, "Facial reconstruction can also result in errors. The facial bones of the corpse have been intentionally damaged, so we hope that you can cooperate."
He handed the photo to the woman.
The woman just glanced at him and looked away, "I don't know her. She's not my sister."
Li Ziyu's expression remained normal, but there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
Lu Bai walked over and took a look at the photo. It was indeed as Liu Zhengfeng said.
The facial bones were damaged, so the degree of reconstruction is not great, but some characteristics of the facial features can still be seen.
She pointed at the photo with her index finger and said, "Take a closer look."
The woman also got angry, "What's so good about it? I said it's not true, what else do you want? Do you want to take my DNA for testing?"
Li Ziyu stood up and took back the photo with a smile, "Sorry to bother you, you can leave now."
Lu Bai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Ziyu.
[She is deliberately denying it. Instead of pursuing her too closely, it is better to see what she wants to do. ]
[I originally thought that one Wang Kaixuan was enough, but I didn't expect that another one full of liars would appear now.]
After hearing what she said, Lu Bai stopped trying to stop her.
[DNA, the DNA of distant relatives is not accurate, and we need her mother's DNA. Why didn't her mother come? Her daughter might have been murdered. No matter what, she would identify the body, right?]
[If she doesn't come, is it because she can't come, or is it because someone else makes it impossible for her to come? ]
Lu Bai watched the woman's leaving back and listened to Li Ziyu's inner thoughts.
She made her own judgment. She pulled Zhang Hai over and lowered her voice, "Go follow her."
I've been handling cases for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen a case where the family members are all there but they just refuse to come to claim the body.
Li Ziyu rubbed his hands, "Arthur Conan Doyle once said that there is nothing new in the world, and everything has happened before."
