Chapter 76 Secretly praying for the Emperor to possess him
Lu Xinran never thought that the gossip system that could spy on people's privacy could one day become a weapon for victims to find their murderers.
Those lines of cold and cruel words made her heart tremble uncontrollably.
She clicked on the second victim's message almost without thinking.
[Qin Gaoyi's home is also in the south of the city, on the same street as Wang Huiru's bookstore. She and Wang Huiru grew up together and are close friends who know everything.]
[On August 27, Wang Huiru went out of town to deliver books and did not return until late at night. Wang's mother was worried and even went to the Qin family to inquire about her.]
[Early the next morning, the Queen Mother went to Shuntian Prefecture to report the case, and she accompanied the Queen Mother there.]
[In the afternoon, Qin's shop received a business, the other party urgently needed ten pieces of high-quality ink tablets, and the carriage was outside the city for them to prepare and deliver.]
[The ten packed ink tablets were not light, and Qin's father originally wanted to deliver them personally, but when he was about to leave, a customer came to the store and wanted to see the best Wensong ink in the store, so the task of delivering the ink tablets fell on Qin Gaoyi.]
[Why is it just right again? Wang Huiru said her brother had diarrhea, and Qin Gaoyi said there were customers in the shop. 】
[Could it be possible that Zhang Yuewen's murder was also a coincidence? ]
She was puzzled and immediately flipped through Zhang Yuewen's booklet. [Hey, she was just leaving the city normally. Could it be that all this was just a coincidence?]
At first glance, she didn't see anything unusual in Zhang Yuewen's message, so she turned back to look at Qin Gaoyi's content.
Repeated coincidences are no longer coincidences.
Song Junyan and Tang Quyan had already sent people to the Wang family and the Qin family, asking them to draw the appearance of the person who delivered the mung bean soup and the person who bought ink tablets twice.
In the morgue, Lu Xinlan was comparing the autopsy results in his mind with suspicion.
She did not find any signs of sexual assault on Wang Huiru. Although the body had begun to decay due to the hot weather, the girl's lower body was intact, and the bruises on her legs were caused by dragging and bumping.
"Mr. Xu, how did you determine that the deceased was violated after death?"
Xu Bai pointed at the deceased's clothes lying aside and said, "When the deceased was found, his lower body clothing was badly damaged, and he had no underwear, so..."
"The place where the deceased was found may not be where the murderer dumped the body. It may have taken several hours to a day from the time the body was thrown out to the time it was discovered and reported to the police. We don't know what happened in the meantime, so we can't make a haphazard conclusion.
"Police officers need to rely on this information to catch criminals, so our report must be as fair and objective as possible and cannot be based on subjective assumptions.
"You wrote in all three results that the deceased had been violated after death. This will mislead the detectives and adults into concluding that the murderer is a mentally defective and lustful person."
Xu Bai broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. After working as a coroner for many years, this was the first time he was scolded by an outsider except for his master.
Unfortunately, the other party's accusations left him with no words to refute.
She spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice, and the people who were less than ten steps away from them all heard it.
[Wow, my sister is so powerful and majestic. When solving a case, one should be rigorous and not allow for any mistakes. How could a coroner from the Dali Temple make such a low-level mistake?]
[If we rely on subjective conjecture to perform an autopsy, then can the police just pick up a random person from the street and fabricate some crimes for him and consider the case solved? ]
The mumbling complaints made Song Junyan and Tang Quyan's ears burn.
I was looked down upon by two little girls!
[Let me continue from the last time. After Qin Gaoyi handed the ink tablet to the buyer and collected the money, he was about to return to the shop, but when he walked to the city gate, he met an acquaintance. ]
[The old lady sprained her ankle and was carrying more than ten kilograms of rice and flour she had just bought from the city. She couldn't lift it, so she asked her to help carry her for a distance. Without thinking twice, she helped carry her back to the village.]
[On the way back to the city... just like Wang Huiru, not long after leaving the village, she was knocked unconscious by someone hurling a stone.]
[When she woke up again, she was in a dark room. She could smell blood. It should be the room where Wang Huiru was killed the day before.]
[She realized what had happened to her almost instantly and tried to shout for help, but her hands and feet were tied up, her eyes were covered, and her mouth was stuffed with stones.]
[The murderer found out that she was awake, and slapped her in the face, calling her a stinking bitch! ]
[The murderer did not give her a chance to fight back, and stabbed her in the ribs. The severe pain made her unable to remember how many times she was stabbed, but she only remembered that she was stabbed once in the stomach and once in the face.]
[The murderer did not miss when he stabbed her heart for the second time. Only then did she completely die.]
The whole process of the crime made Lu Xinran's hands and feet cold. The autopsy results showed that the murderer's methods became more and more skilled as time went on, but the results seen from the system were different.
The murderer committed both murders in a brutal manner, seemingly... venting his anger.
She had a feeling that the murderer must have known these two people, and that there might be a personal grudge or an argument between them.
Lu Xinlan re-examined Qin Gaoyi's body in the morgue according to the order of his heart.
On Qin Gaoyi's body, she still found no signs of posthumous violation.
Xu Bai's face gradually turned pale. When he met Lu Xinlan's gaze, he became slightly dazed and nervous, as if he had returned to the time when he was just an apprentice and was often scolded by his master.
After reading the written records of Wang Huiru and Qin Gaoyi before they were victimized, Lu Xinran was depressed to find that the system did not seem to be able to provide much help.
How come they couldn't see each other's faces?
Lu Xinran sighed and was ready to open the booklet of the last person.
I hope to get some useful information. It would be great if we could know who the murderer is.
Tang Quyan and Song Junyan also became nervous. They only hoped to get the key information to solve the case as soon as possible to avoid more tragic cases of innocent women being killed.
Three people died in succession. This is already a major case.
If the bodies had not been found outside the city where few people passed by, people in the city would have surely started to panic by now.
Lu Xinran prayed silently for a long time for the Emperor of Europe to possess him, and then he opened the booklet belonging to Zhang Yuewen.
[Hey, she is also close friends with Wang Huiru and Qin Gaoyi. The three of them are of similar age and their shops are on the same street. The three of them have always gotten along well.]
[Zhang Yuewen is the oldest among the three of them. She had already reached the age of 15 at the beginning of the year, and her family is preparing to find a husband for her.]
[She liked her cousin from her aunt's family, but her aunt wanted her cousin to marry a girl from a high-ranking official family after he graduated from high school, so she didn't respond to the marriage proposal at all.]
[She was disappointed and told Wang Huiru and Qin Gaoyi that she liked her cousin. They both advised her to let go of her feelings, but she felt that her two friends did not understand her.]
[I even complained about them in the courtyard, and was seen by a servant in the house! ]
