The funeral home was remote, and Xie Qing waited for a long time before a taxi took her back.
In the car, she thought a lot about the case.
Regarding the deceased.
She agreed with her master and forensic doctor An that the deceased was most likely a salesman.
Anhai City is a prefecture-level city with relatively developed business, and the number of salesmen is definitely not small. It is extremely difficult to find the source of the body in a short time.
Let's talk about the murderer.
If the murderer cleaned the nails of the deceased, it means that he has a certain anti-detection ability.
In this era, DNA technology is not popular, and there should not be many people who know how to identify criminals through blood type or DNA.
He may be an intellectual, a police-related professional, or have such relatives and friends around him, or know some rare people, or he may be someone who likes crime-themed TV dramas and novels...
The identity of the deceased cannot be determined, and the city camera does not cover the area where the body was dumped. It is difficult to determine the target by looking for the vehicle used to transport the body. In this case, clues can only be found through large-scale investigations and visits.
Back at the police station, Xie Qing sent the stomach contents to the technical room, chatted with Ma Xuan, the elder sister of the technical room, and went downstairs at about 2:30.
She washed her hands in the bathroom on the first floor, and just as she came out, she heard someone shouting on the stairs, "Xie Qing?"
This was Li Ke's voice.
Xie Qing turned around and looked over...
Li Ke ran down the stairs, "I couldn't find you at noon, where did you go?"
Xie Qing said, "I went to the funeral home and just came down from the technical room. How about you?"
"Funeral home, you went to dissect the body?!" Li Ke was a little excited, "Is it the same case? We are in the development zone, and the higher-ups asked our second brigade to support us."
Then it was the same case.
Xie Qing was about to speak when she heard footsteps, and seven or eight policemen came downstairs one after another.
One of the young men stopped as he passed by them, "Xiao Li, is this also a newcomer in our bureau?"
Li Ke nodded, "Yes, a top student from Jinghua University, an intern forensic doctor in the Criminal Science and Technology Laboratory."
"Female forensic doctor?" Someone exclaimed.
A group of big men who had already run over slowed down, turned their heads, and looked at Xie Qing.
Xie Qing waved, "Hello, everyone, my name is Xie Qing."
"Okay."
"Hello."
"Hello, Xiao Xie."
The group of people greeted each other in a messy manner, and walked out without stopping.
Li Ke pulled Xie Qing out, "Anyway, you have nothing to do when you go back, come with me."
Xie Qing really wanted to get familiar with her future colleagues, but Li Ke was a newcomer, and she couldn't just agree to it casually.
She glanced at the young man.
The young man understood what she meant and said with a smile, "My name is Li Ji. There is enough room in the car. Xiao Xie, why don't you come along?"
Xie Qing said politely, "Will it be inconvenient?"
Li Ji smiled, "It's convenient, it's an investigation, more people means more strength."
"Let's go." Li Ke pulled Xie Qing's arm, "We can go together."
The two got on the police minibus and sat shoulder to shoulder in the two front seats.
The middle-aged man sitting in the co-pilot seat asked Xie Qing, "Why do you want to study forensics, girl? Aren't you afraid?"
Li Ke introduced in a low voice, "This is our Captain Huang."
Captain Huang, Huang Zhenyi, led the Second Brigade, which was responsible for the development zone. He was an expert in criminal investigation and had won the second-class merit.
Last night, while eating in the cafeteria, Xie Qing strategically inquired about important figures in the police station, and this person was one of them.
As for the second male lead in the book, Tan Yi, the police station does not have his name yet. It is unknown whether he has not come or is in another branch. The book hardly describes the second male lead's work. It only says that he is the captain of the criminal police of the police station. He is always busy and rarely seen.
Xie Qing does not want to have any intersection with the main plot. If Tan Yi is in another branch, she will be completely relieved.
"Hello." Xie Qing greeted, "I wanted to study medicine at that time, but I missed one point, so I studied forensic medicine by mistake."
A loud and gruff discussion sounded on the minibus.
"Fuck, the medical school of Jinghua University is the best, right? They're
just one point away. They're a real academic master!" "They're the first in our bureau, right?"
"So far, almost."
"Let's go and ask Xiao Xie for advice tomorrow. Let my daughter learn some learning experience from him."
"Fuck, you're the only one who thinks far ahead, you old chicken."
...
Captain Huang glanced at the back in a domineering manner, "What are you talking about? The director said that these two girls are the treasures of our bureau. What will we do if you scare them away?!"
The discussions stopped immediately.
Xie Qing quickly said, "Captain Huang, we are forensic scientists and we don't care about food or drink."
Li Ke also came to her rescue, "Yes, the sisters in the forensic department of our school are all ruthless. They can fight or scold, and they are never vague."
Captain Huang wiped his mouth with satisfaction, "Okay, we police officers have to do this."
...
The car drove for more than half an hour, stopping and starting, and stopped at the intersection of an east-west commercial street.
Huang Zhenyi picked up his handbag, "There are a total of 36 stores here. We will form a group of two, and each group will check nine stores. Xiao Li and Xiao Xie follow me, let's go!"
Xie Qing and Li Ke followed Huang Zhenyi out of the car.
This is a wholesale market. The streets are lined with food stalls like night markets. Every store has a large pile of goods at the door. Toys, handbags, scarves, stationery, lighters, porcelain, etc. are all small daily commodities.
Xie Qing thought that the salesmen related to these products might not be able to afford crocodile brand leather shoes.
But in the absence of other clues, it is a good idea to start from here - after all, they are all in the sales circle. The more people know, the faster the news will spread, and the greater the hope of finding it.
She and Li Ke followed Huang Zhenyi into the first house.
Huang Zhenyi took out a photocopied A4 paper with a sketch of the deceased. Xie Qing took a peek and saw that the portrait artist was very skilled and basically restored the deceased's true appearance.
Huang Zhenyi showed his work ID and said to the boss lady who came out to greet him: "Big sister, we are looking for someone. Please take a closer look. Do you recognize this person?"
"Who is this person? Oh, I know. He is the murderer who killed people at the construction site, right?" The boss lady asked while carefully looking at the portrait. "No, I have never seen him."
Huang Zhenyi said: "This is the deceased. If you have any clues, please tell us."
"Oh, it's so pitiful. He has old people and children to take care of. He is gone just like this." The boss lady sighed and said, "Although we are nearby, we haven't heard any movement. Don't worry, if there is any news, please call the police."
Huang Zhenyi thanked and took Xie and Li out of the store.
The three of them went to each store one by one, saying the same words as the boss lady at the first store. They ran to all nine stores in a row and finished in less than 20 minutes.
On the way back, Li Ke glanced at the stationery and toy stalls.
Xie Qing saw it clearly, so she said, "Why don't you go first, and I'll bring you whatever you want to buy?"
Li Ke smiled, "You want to buy something too?"
Xie Qing said, "Of course, there's no paper or pen."
Li Ke looked at the toys reluctantly, "I'll ask the captain, if..."
Captain Huang was just one step away from the two of them, and he had heard the conversation between the two sisters clearly, and smiled and said, "It's not officially open yet, I'll give you ten minutes, go and come back quickly."
"Thank you, captain!" Li Ke jumped three feet high, pulled Xie Qing and ran to the toy place.
Xie Qing has been a forensic doctor for many years, and her childishness is long gone, so she naturally has no interest in toys. However, the dormitory is bare, so it would be nice to put some decorations in it, so she picked the Calabash Brothers and the righteous Black Cat Sheriff.
Li Ke looked carefree, but there was a little girl living in her heart. She bought a lot of Saint Seiya and Flower Fairies, and it was obvious that her family was not short of money.
Since they were not short of money, they bought things quickly, and they were back in the car in less than ten minutes.
Huang Zhenyi took a look at the back of the car to make sure nothing was left out, and told Li Ji, "Let's go."
The car started.
Li Ke asked, "Captain, do you have any clues?"
Huang Zhenyi shook his head, "It's not that easy."
Li Ji started the car and complained, "Alas... This is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Huang Zhenyi said, "You are the only one who talks too much, drive your car."
Li Ji smiled and said nothing more.
Back at the police station, the Second Brigade had no other tasks for the time being. Xie Qing and Li Ke were not on duty, so they planned to go back to the dormitory after getting off the car. The two of them walked inside with large and small bags.
After walking a few steps, they saw the door of an Audi sedan open, and a tall young man in branded jeans got out.
"Xie Qing." The young man called out neither lightly nor heavily, with the majesty of a superior in his tone.
"Handsome, who is that?" Li Ke nudges Xie Qing with her elbow.
"My brother," Xie Qing replies, walking towards Xie Chen, "Why are you here, brother?"
The relationship between the siblings is not good.
The original owner is picky and strong-willed, while Xie Chen obviously prefers the gentle and lovely elder sister. When the sisters have conflicts, he will definitely stand on Xie Yun's side.
Despite this, he is better than Chen Yuehua and tries his best to be fair.
Xie Chen opened the trunk and took out a basket. "I bought some fresh fruits on the way. Take them and share with your colleagues."
"Thank you, big brother." Xie Qing took it over. "Did you have fun today?"
"Not bad. I played cards all day in the hotel." Xie Chen took out his wallet and took out a stack of money and handed it to Xie Qing. "Keep this money. Call me if you don't have enough."
"This..." Xie Qing was a little surprised and stretched out her hand to block it. "No, I have money."
Grandpa Xie was a university professor. Although he had a cold personality, he cared about the original owner very much.
He was afraid that the original owner would be wronged, so before he left, he gave most of his savings to the original owner in addition to his will, and the rest was divided equally among the children.
Xie Qing counted it last night and found that she had 400,000 yuan in fixed deposits and more than 3,000 yuan in pocket money.
Xie Chen insisted, "You have a job, this is the money that Big Brother gave you to buy clothes, and Yunyun also had it at that time."
Xie Qing thought, okay, he just agreed to lend Xie Yun 1.5 million yuan, and he gave her the money just to balance it out, don't be mean, just reciprocate.
Xie Qing took it and put it in her small leather bag, "Thank you, big brother."
Xie Chen's eyes had a little smile, "Be careful when you are outside, and come home to visit when you have a holiday."
"Okay." Xie Qing said, "Big brother, drive slowly."
Xie Chen opened the car door and got in, "Next Saturday is my birthday, at the Marriott Hotel, you come."
Xie Qing remembered this incident. The original owner resigned and went at that time, but she might not - the main characters in the book are all there, and she is afraid to avoid them.
She said sincerely: "If there is no mission in the bureau, I will go. If there is... Big brother also knows that my line of work is indeed unlucky, so I won't go to cause trouble for everyone."
Xie Chen is the only one in the Xie family who doesn't care much about the identity of a forensic doctor, but he can't ignore the thoughts of others.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later." He closed the car door and left the police station.
Li Ke asked, "Xie Qing, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
Xie Qing shrugged, "Probably not yet."
Li Ke bumped her shoulder, "I'll introduce her to him when I have the chance."
"Okay." Xie Qing agreed readily.
Xie Chen is 1.81 meters tall, handsome, and has good character. He is a gentleman worth marrying.
The author has something to say:
The name of the city has been changed. It doesn't feel good to use English letters.
