The police quickly launched an investigation into the body in the suitcase the next day.
The box contained a floral dress. The deceased's eyelids were turned up, her face was hideous and unrecognizable, and there was an obvious knife wound on her neck. After a detailed autopsy, the technicians preliminarily determined that the deceased was a female.
He was between 20 and 29 years old and died about five days ago.
The police put the floral dress on the reward notice, and only a week after the announcement, someone reported the case to the police.
The person who reported the case was a man in his thirties named Yang Shu, a technician at a company.
He claimed that the floral dress looked very similar to his ex-girlfriend Jin Xiaoli. They met in a massage parlor, fell in love, and gradually developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Because of Jin Xiaoli's work, he chose to break up with Jin Xiaoli, but in fact he still couldn't let go of Jin Xiaoli, so he got along with Jin Xiaoli in another relationship.
The two kept in touch until September this year when he suddenly could no longer contact Jin Xiaoli.
The police went to the massage parlor where Jin Xiaoli worked to investigate. According to the owner, Jin Xiaoli left very suddenly at that time. She thought that Jin Xiaoli had found a new job and quit the industry, so she did not ask any questions and did not try to keep her.
The proprietress mentioned a clue, that is, Jin Xiaoli was very close to a man in his forties for a period of time. The man would come to see her every week. As for what the two of them went out for, it was impossible to know.
The police found Jin Xiaoli's home based on clues provided by Yang Shu. The house was empty, and an officer in charge of the case noticed a razor and a pair of men's shoes in the bathroom.
Could it be that... Jin Xiaoli had lived with that strange man in his forties for a period of time.
Yang Shu didn't know about this, so the police conducted a thorough investigation of the area around her rental house. They found a medical checkup sheet in her home, dated October 4th. The boss's wife said Jin Xiaoli suddenly resigned on September 26th.
Could it be that during this period, Jin Xiaoli fell ill...and went to the hospital?
Officer Wang took a few more people to the hospital to investigate. According to the doctor at the hospital, Jin Xiaoli had indeed been to the hospital on the afternoon of September 30.
Jin Xiaoli has a serious gastrointestinal disease and comes to the hospital for chemotherapy and medication every once in a while.
"Can you describe to us what happened when Miss Jin went to the hospital?"
Her attending physician, Dr. Ren, began to slowly recall what happened that day.
"I remember she was coughing non-stop and didn't look well. She kept covering her stomach with her hands and cold sweat was coming out of her forehead."
"Then why did she suddenly act like this? Mr. Ren, did you ask her?"
"She told me that the morning before she came to see me, she had eaten mashed potatoes and rice from a street vendor and also had spicy grilled fish. I think it was the food she ate that made her condition worse."
"How long has she been in the hospital?"
"More than a year."
"Then are you her attending physician?"
"No, she came to see me in June of this year. I don't know where she went to see me at other times."
"Does she usually come alone?"
"Let me think about it. There was a time when she was accompanied by a man. The man looked to be in his forties."
After questioning the attending physician, Officer Wang investigated the man who appeared next to Jin Xiaoli.
He showed Jin Xiaoli's photo to the hospital front desk staff, and a woman said, "I have some impression of her. She always greets me every time she comes."
"Have you ever seen her bring anyone else with her?"
"Yes, she once brought a handsome man here for treatment. I don't know if he was her boyfriend."
"We asked her about it at the time, but she didn't say anything, she just smiled."
"I can tell she's smiling happily. Who wouldn't be happy to have a handsome guy accompany her to see a doctor?!"
“I was taking pictures.”
Officer Wang looked at the blurry man in the photo and quickly investigated him.
It turned out that the man's name was Yao Yicheng, a surgeon at a hospital, and he was in a relationship with Jin Xiaoli. He was on a business trip and was unaware that his girlfriend had died.
According to the nurses, Yao Yicheng is a super workaholic. Once he gets into work mode, he is hardly affected by external things. It is normal for him not to reply to messages and not be able to be contacted.
Just as the police were still trying to solve the case, another tragedy struck. Two women were murdered one after another. Their bodies were found in a garbage dump, broken into pieces and wrapped in black plastic bags, emitting a foul odor.
(Sunday)
Hua Jinyue, Ye Qingliu and Yan Yu were sitting in the living room watching TV.
[Recently, a serious dismemberment case occurred in our city. The details are still unknown. We would like to remind the public to pay attention to safety, lock doors and windows, and especially women, not to walk alone at night. Try to walk in groups.]
"Murder...dismemberment?!" Hua Jinyue was watching the TV news while chewing a sandwich.
"In that case, isn't Xiao Yueyue a little dangerous?"
"No, I believe my brother will protect me, right?"
Ye Qingliu smiled lovingly, touched her head, and said, "Of course."
