Chapter 12 I Saw You
Before Chen Zhenzhu and the others could react, half of their soda had already been drunk, and their molars and the back of their heads felt a chilling sensation.
She covered the back of her head, thanked Lu Xiaobao, and ran back to the police station.
Lu Xiaobao hesitated behind her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He hadn't invited her to dinner yet, and he'd missed his chance again!
Back at the police station, Shen Zhenzhu, disregarding whether Hong Le would mock her for trying to associate with the criminal investigation team again, told Sister Wang, "I'm going on patrol! If anyone needs to process work permits—"
Sister Wang was used to her running around outside every day full of energy, and said with a smile, "I'll take care of it, you go ahead. It's not safe now, so be careful too."
Shen Zhenzhu blew a kiss to Sister Wang from afar, then got on her bicycle and pedaled furiously toward Xiaomin's fruit shop.
If you can find that clicking sound, you can find the crime scene!
As she turned the corner and was almost at Xiaomin's fruit shop, she suddenly heard someone honking their horn behind her.
"Captain Gu?"
Gu Yanzheng drove the Cherokee at breakneck speed, with a forensic doctor in the car.
Another discovery?
Shen Zhenzhu's eyes widened, and she immediately turned around and pedaled her bicycle furiously to chase after him.
Thanks to Lu Xiaobao, I was able to get into the dissection room this time. I don't know if I'll be able to next time.
If she can't get in, she won't be able to see the body, and if she can't see the body, she won't be able to find any more detailed clues!
After Zhou Chuanxi finished telling Gu Yanzheng the information about the person who reported the case in the passenger seat, he inadvertently saw Chen Zhenzhu standing in the rearview mirror, pedaling her bicycle behind him.
"She...she?" Zhou Chuanxi looked back and saw Shen Zhenzhu's eyes burning with anger, her teeth clenched, and even her beautiful face was distorted.
You pedaled all ten stops in one go?
"What? Get out of the car." There was no street or alley in Liancheng that Gu Yanzheng didn't know. The person who reported the case gave a general address, and he rushed over there immediately.
"It's horrible, chopped into so many pieces." Lu Ye and the others who arrived at the scene first were taking statements when they saw Gu Yanzheng coming over. Lu Ye stepped forward and said, "Boss, the scavengers found a bag of body parts here. It was originally buried in the soil of the green belt, but it was probably dug out by stray dogs. There are scratch marks on it. The plastic bag is an ordinary black seafood bag, which may have been used by merchants around the large vegetable market."
Qin An put on gloves, untied the plastic bag, and examined the body parts one by one. Lu Xiaobao took out his camera and began taking pictures.
Zhou Chuanxi turned around and saw Shen Zhenzhu parking her car. Gu Yanzheng followed his gaze and saw Shen Zhenzhu, panting and with disheveled hair, appear in his field of vision. Despite her knees trembling from exhaustion, she tried to put on a calm expression: "What a coincidence... huff huff..."
Zhou Chuanxi took out a napkin and handed it to her; Chen Zhenzhu took one out.
Gu Yanzheng raised an eyebrow and said, "What a coincidence?"
Chen Zhenzhu said, "We happened to run into each other during patrol." As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and spat out a stray hair from her lips.
Gu Yanzheng and Zhou Chuanxi exchanged a glance. Their dedication to the case was truly moving, but they didn't expose it.
Qin An called out to Gu Yanzheng, "Team Leader Gu."
Gu Yanzheng stepped forward, Zhou Chuanxi followed, and Shen Zhenzhu cautiously followed. Fortunately, Captain Gu was too busy investigating the case to chase her away.
"The time of death can be determined to be in the early morning of the 27th. According to the preliminary examination, the skeleton of the deceased is that of a minor, between 13 and 16 years old. She is female. She may have suffered sexual assault, and the body needs to be taken back for further examination and assessment."
Gu Yanzheng lowered his head to study the evidence: "The time of death matches that of the missing Cai Jingjing. The wound incisions and the method of dismemberment are preliminarily determined to be consistent—dismemberment was carried out with a cleaver or axe. This is definitely not the primary crime scene, but rather the body disposal site. Xizi, check the possible walking routes in this area and conduct a simulation..."
Shen Zhenzhu stood behind them, trying not to interfere with their work. Lu Xiaobao laid out the body parts one by one, the clicking of the camera ringing incessantly in their ears.
Shen Zhenzhu felt a tingling pain in her forehead, and soon, as she wished, her Heavenly Eye retraced its course above the body parts—
Cai Jingjing secretly slipped into the dark room through a narrow gap under the roller shutter door. She seemed to know this place well and carefully stood up.
"Wow, so many!" Cai Jingjing walked forward, rubbing her hands together, occasionally taking something out of the shelf to examine it by the moonlight.
She was still excited, like a little mouse that had entered a granary, secretly delighted and stuffing things into her pockets that didn't belong to her.
Just as she walked to the innermost part, squatted down and rummaged through the things she wanted, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind her. In the enclosed and dark space, all she could see was him picking up something and throwing it at Cai Jingjing!
"I'll teach you to steal!!" the other person cursed in a non-local accent. Hearing the girl who had fallen scream, he cursed again, "Damn it! How come it's a woman?"
"Hey? Dead?" He reached out and touched the blood on the back of her head. He quickly carried her upstairs. As they went upstairs, Chen Zhenzhu saw his face clearly in the moonlight.
He was a young man in his late twenties with a square face and thick, furrowed brows. He lifted the girl in his arms and pressed her against her chest, wanting to hear her heartbeat.
He seemed to sense a faint heartbeat, and his furrowed brows relaxed. In the moonlight, the virgin's beauty and youthful form stimulated his long-hidden sexual desires.
He strode up the stairs, ignoring the lights as he continued his torment and torture: "You deserve it, you owe me!"
The powerless girl couldn't even beg for mercy, and died with humiliation before he could release her.
The man flipped her over again... his hand, which was dragging on the ground, gradually stiffened.
His filthy words and actions continued until the very end. After succeeding, he didn't rush to leave but sat beside the naked corpse, smoking and carefully tracing her facial features with his rough fingers.
When he finished smoking, not wanting the ash to fall on Cai Jingjing, he scooped up the long ash with his hand and stubbed it out in the ashtray.
The sounds of doors opening and closing came from downstairs, and a woman asked, "Are you asleep?"
"Bring that thing up," the man ordered. When he returned, he was wearing a mask and gloves, and he turned on the light to begin dismembering the body. Behind him followed a short figure completely covered up, timidly helping out.
Unfortunately, she was always backlit, so her face could not be seen.
"You can cook the rest and throw it behind the market to feed the dogs." Perhaps exhausted after the excitement, the man lay down on the bed and started snoring after they finished cutting up the body.
Behind the large vegetable market, there is a group of stray dogs that often scavenge leftover bones and scraps from the garbage heaps.
Perhaps the short woman hadn't cooked everything properly, and she lacked experience in murder and dismemberment. She dumped part of the body here, hoping a stray dog would eat it, but it was discovered first.
One principal offender and one accomplice.
Shen Zhenzhu closed her eyes. This beast, she had to kill him!
"Comrade Xiao Shen, help me maintain order. Don't let the reporters go over to take pictures. You can leave once Qin An leaves." Gu Yanzheng closed his notebook, gave a few more instructions to the person next to him, turned around and saw the silent Shen Zhenzhu, revealing an angry and disgusted expression.
So disgusted?
Gu Yanzheng: "...You can quit, I'll find someone else." He saw her rushing over like that and assumed she was interested in the case and was giving him a chance.
Shen Zhenzhu's eyes reddened for some reason, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Captain Gu! We must catch the murderer! He must be punished as he deserves!"
She has already seen the murderer's face, and she is determined to catch him and avenge the tragic death of the girl!
