Chapter 47: Murder Case

Xu Zhizhi cried out in surprise, but realizing that the loud noise would cause panic, she quickly lowered her voice.

Zhong Man and Zhou Ling, who were watching the dog, stopped and looked back at Xu Zhizhi. "What's wrong?"

"That dog...that dog carried something that must be a human bone!" Xu Zhizhi said in a serious but certain tone.

Hearing Xu Zhizhi say this, Zhong Man and Zhou Ling were stunned. They stared at Xu Zhizhi's face, wondering if they had heard it wrongly.

"Human bones!" Zhong Man covered her mouth, her eyes fell on the person four or five meters away from them, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Zhou Ling was also shocked. "Zhizhi, are you sure? Maybe you saw it wrong. It's normal for a rural dog to hold a bone."

What he actually wanted to say was, has Xu Zhizhi become obsessed with memorizing scripts recently?

It is common for people with good acting skills to get so absorbed in a role that they cannot get out of it. There are even news reports of actors both at home and abroad who have not been able to get out of the role after the filming was completed, and some have even committed suicide due to depression.

In order not to irritate Xu Zhizhi, he could only mention it in this euphemistic way.

Xu Zhizhi turned around and looked at the dog that had walked away, her eyes firm.

"I was not mistaken. I am an expert on human and bird bones," Xu Zhizhi explained.

She judged based on her "experience" that someone had died here.

Zhou Ling stopped talking. Human life was at stake, and he didn't dare to really make up his mind that Xu Zhizhi must have had an illusion.

That's how Xu Zhizhi called the police. Because she knew which village the victim was from, she was able to give the address and the call went smoothly.

By the time the police from the police station arrived, Xu Zhizhi had already followed the dog with Zhong Man and Zhou Ling to the small house at the easternmost end of the village.

The two of them thought that Xu Zhizhi's words were mysterious, and since she had already called the police, they came along to take a look, and they were also afraid that Xu Zhizhi might be in danger.

Xu Zhizhi was even more certain based on follow-up observations that it was a human arm bone, with some flesh and blood still remaining on it. Although it was very little, Xu Zhizhi was sure it was there.

So she called the police without hesitation, hoping that the police would investigate.

As for whether it was dug out from the grave, Xu Zhizhi was basically certain that it was impossible. Not only because cremation was popular nowadays, but also because collective burials had long been practiced in the countryside around Beijing.

Moreover, the bone it was holding in its mouth was an unburned bone.

The knowledge of anatomy in her mind told her this very clearly, and if possible, the knowledge of anatomy could tell her even more.

They stopped and told us the approximate location.

Because it was their first day here, they didn't know the details.

After the other party responded, he hung up the phone.

The village was quite lively because it was almost afternoon and the crew had to use a few empty houses to film. Everyone liked to see the excitement so they gathered around with their hands behind their backs and watched in low voices.

Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and there are not many young people.

It is five hours away from Beijing, close to another province. There are many mountains and little land, so the young people have gone out to work.

The arrival of the crew will undoubtedly provide a long topic of conversation.

Everyone is also curious about how the TV series on this TV are filmed.

However, this peaceful atmosphere came to an abrupt end when a police car rushed in.

It was not easy to dispatch police to the village, and they did not come often, so twenty minutes had passed by the time the police arrived.

The villagers gathered around the police car and watched, wanting to know what had happened. When the police asked who had called the police, they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Xu Zhizhi stepped forward and pointed to a chicken coop next to a household and said, "The dog is carrying the bone to the side. You should be able to see it when you go in."

"Tell me first, what did you see?" Most of the policemen in the grassroots police stations were in their forties or fifties. They did not often watch movies and online dramas, and did not know Xu Zhizhi. They just looked at Xu Zhizhi and said.

A younger police officer nearby pushed the police officer who was questioning them and pointed at Zhong Man and Zhou Ling, "Are they Zhong Man and Zhou Ling?"

The police officer who was questioning the case looked at Zhong Man and Zhou Ling who were standing beside Xu Zhizhi, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You are Zhong Man and Zhou Ling!" he shouted in surprise.

Zhong Man and Zhou Ling have been active in TV and movies for a long time, so they were not surprised at all when they were recognized. Instead, they pointed to the place Xu Zhizhi mentioned and said, "We are filming here. Um...some things should wait for a while. You should go and see what the dog has!"

If they really are human bones, it would be really creepy, because there are similar scenes in the TV series they filmed.

The plot of the TV series is reflected in reality, and it is so terrifying that it makes people's scalps tingle.

"Then tell me, what happened? Did you see it wrong?" The policeman had no intention of stepping forward, but looked at Xu Zhizhi and continued to question her.

There was nothing wrong with his tone and demeanor, except that he was contemptuous of an unknown little star making a fuss. He thought Xu Zhizhi must have seen it wrong, because it was most likely a pig bone that someone in the village fed to their dog, not a human bone.

However, when the police are on duty, they have to solve the problem carefully, so he still asked with the idea of ​​handling the case.

Xu Zhizhi saw that he didn't go, and she still didn't understand. She didn't argue angrily, because this was not a debate. She recalled and whispered: "I have some knowledge about human bones. Just now, the big yellow dog passed by us with a bone in its mouth when we were walking around the village."

"I looked at it carefully and it should be a human arm bone, the humerus. It is about 22 centimeters long. Judging from the size of the bone, it should be the humerus of an adult female."

"Looking at the degree of decay of the flesh and blood, the body should have been dead for about a week. It must have been buried somewhere and dug out by a dog that smelled the flesh and blood."

Xu Zhizhi gestured as she spoke, indicating that she was not mistaken.

The police officer was stunned for several seconds before he responded and frowned, "You seem to know a lot about human bones!"

As they spoke this, they moved aside so that no one else could hear them.

The village is not like the big cities. If someone dies here and is brought back by a dog, they will argue for half an hour.

"Of course, I'm a professional!" Xu Zhizhi said this confidently, because although the system is evil, its skills have not been compromised at all, and it is very, very good and easy to use. Thinking too far, Xu Zhizhi pulled back his thoughts, paused for a moment, and said: "I have learned some forensic knowledge, and I have some understanding of bone identification and autopsy."

After hearing what she said, the two policemen stopped their routine questioning and decided to find the bones first to see what was going on. Regardless of whether the actor was a complete stranger or not, they had to verify it.

If it is really a mistake, then just criticize and educate him and it will be over.

If not, it would be a murder.

The two men found the owner of the house and the dog, then called the dog outside and tied it up with a chain.

Nothing was disclosed during the process to avoid causing panic. If it wasn’t a human bone, it would be passed off as one, and the rumor would even become extremely outrageous.

The chicken coop was on the left side of the house, and there was a low fence outside. Two policemen stepped in, one in front and one behind. They endured the smell and searched around the chicken coop, and finally found the bones on the ground two meters away.

The police officers did not wear any protective gear, and they had no experience in handling murder cases. The moment they saw the bones, they looked at each other and prepared to pick them up directly.

"Wait!" Xu Zhizhi, who followed over, said immediately.

Physical evidence still needs to be protected. Xu Zhizhi hopes to preserve more evidence, so she spoke up.

The two policemen were stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Xu Zhizhi who was walking behind them, "What's wrong?"

"Our crew has evidence bags and gloves. Let me collect them!" Xu Zhizhi suggested.

The two policemen looked at each other, nodded and agreed.

When Xu Zhizhi saw the two policemen agreed, she turned back to the crew and took the forensic doctor's box.

Zhou Ling and Zhong Man looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the operation, and at the same time, they began to wonder if Xu Zhizhi was really getting too immersed in the role.

Xu Zhizhi didn't care what others thought. She quickly returned to the crew based on her memory and got the gloves and evidence bag.

Director Meng is a very pragmatic director, so the things in the boxes that appeared on the scene were basically all usable, and Xu Zhizhi didn't need to worry about whether they were useful or not.

After Xu Zhizhi arrived, she put on gloves under the watchful eyes of two police officers, picked up the evidence bag and put the bones into the bag.

After inspecting the evidence bag, Xu Zhizhi looked at the two police officers who were flustered and short of breath after her handling and said, "Just protect it well. If it's true, it will be easier to find the real culprit."

"Okay..." said the older policeman.

Then three people came out. Xu Zhizhi held the bone, looked at it carefully, and nodded, saying, "This is consistent with my previous guess. Now the preliminary judgment is that it is a young woman. You can take it back for testing."

After hearing what Xu Zhizhi said, Zhong Man and Zhou Ling took several steps back, looking at Xu Zhizhi in horror... and the bone in her hand.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the two of them and decided to explain later and let the two policemen go and do the test quickly.

The police looked at each other, and the older policeman reached out and picked up the corner of the evidence bag that Xu Zhizhi was holding. He looked carefully and found that it was indeed different from all the poultry bones.

It really looks like human bones.

Thinking of this, he nodded to Xu Zhizhi.

"Okay, we'll go back and test it. If it really is human bones, we'll open a case for investigation as soon as possible." He said with a firm look in his eyes and a serious tone.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely talk about it, or just ignore it.

But Xu Zhizhi was obviously a talented person, and his analysis was very logical, so he felt that he should be more serious.

Xu Zhizhi smiled and said, "Okay, I hope you guys can hurry up and take people to look for other bones or... corpses in the village."

She just saw knife marks on the bones, which should have been caused by a sharp knife such as a boning knife.

Preliminary judgment shows that the body should have been dismembered.

Because if it was a complete corpse, the dog would tear off a piece and it would definitely be covered in blood and flesh, instead of being as clean as she saw.

Xu Zhizhi spoke casually, as if she was talking about today's weather, but the other people present felt a chill down their spines and looked at Xu Zhizhi with horror.

"Dismember!" The younger policeman shouted in panic, but considering that there were villagers listening a few meters away, he tried to keep his voice very low.

Xu Zhizhi tapped her chin and softly expressed her analysis.

After hearing what Xu Zhizhi said, everyone swallowed hard.

The two policemen looked at each other immediately, their expressions became less careless and more serious. They decided to do as Xu Zhizhi said. If it was confirmed to be human bones, then the truth was likely as Xu Zhizhi said.

Take out the phone to call for support, then drive urgently to check whether it is human bones.

Once confirmed, this was an extremely brutal case of dismemberment.

The police left, leaving the villagers looking puzzled.

Xu Zhizhi took Zhong Man away quickly. She thought that she should tell Director Meng quickly and leave this ominous place to shoot somewhere else.

Zhong Man and Zhou Ling looked at each other, with a hint of uneasiness on their faces.

The same case of dismemberment in the village, the same dog carrying bones. Although one was a hand and the other a humerus, it was still too horrifying.

Both of them believed in Xu Zhizhi's judgment because Xu Zhizhi said that she really studied forensic medicine. It was not just speculation or drama, but such a horrible story really happened in reality.

They didn't believe that Xu Zhizhi was no good. During the filming period, they also clearly understood that Xu Zhizhi had studied hard and didn't just learn some superficial things for the sake of filming.

The possibility of getting too immersed in the drama is eliminated, and what remains is the horror of reality.

They are all in their thirties and know very well that sometimes reality can be more terrifying and absurd than in TV dramas.

Director Meng must be informed!

The three of them thought so and hurried home.

The crew had prepared a good resting place, a small hotel and farmhouse built by the village for tourism. Because the scene only needed a simple modification, Director Meng was having someone set up a camera.

If all goes well, they can start filming tomorrow.

Zhong Man walked over to the director and told him what happened when they went out. They had just come here and there was no suspicion on them, so it should be fine to leave directly.

After listening to this, Director Meng looked at Xu Zhizhi and said jokingly, "I asked you to learn about forensics, but you came back with your knowledge!"

Xu Zhizhi's face suddenly turned red. She didn't want to do this, but the main thing was that she already knew how to do it! The crime assistance system didn't give her any serious skills, so she had no choice but to do this.

"Hahahaha!" Zhong Man laughed smugly. Xu Zhizhi had learned this forensic technique so well, she was good at it both in and out of the play.

Zhou Ling held his fiancée's shoulders and smiled as well.

He saw that the three people were a little nervous, so he spoke to liven up the atmosphere.

Seeing that their expressions had calmed down, he added, "It's okay. It hasn't been confirmed yet. Even if it is confirmed, it doesn't matter. We have a big crew here. Nothing will happen."

Meng Shijun is already in his 50s and almost 60s. He started making movies when he was young and even went to Hong Kong Island to study when he was young. There were too many chaotic things in Hong Kong Island in those years, and the film and television industry was in a mess because of the money it could make.

He had seen so much that a murder wouldn't scare him.

Because he had seen even bloodier things, such as being forced to film by Mu Cang, and kidnapping and extorting people because he saw that Mu Cang had money in his time.

Those people are vicious and evil, and the world is full of gangsters.

Compared to those, this is nothing.

"What if the murderer is nearby?" Xu Zhizhi asked tremblingly and looked at Director Meng.

Zhong Man and Zhou Ling nodded, this is a big problem.

Director Meng also hesitated, thought for a moment and said, "Then don't go out today. Let's wait until the police come tomorrow. When we find out who the person is, we can continue filming."

Director Meng estimated that it wouldn't take long, and there were too many people in the crew, so the other party would definitely not dare to touch anyone in the crew.

"Okay, but the plot we shot is a bit too similar to this case," Zhong Man said with a frown.

Zhou Ling nodded, "Yes, this matter may have an impact on our crew!"

He didn't mean to blame Xu Zhizhi, it was just too coincidental and there might be other things to follow.

Xu Zhizhi hugged herself unconsciously, but subconsciously analyzed: "I thought about it carefully again. The deceased should not be from the village, because every household in the village is basically connected. If they are too close, someone who hasn't been out for two days will be found. It feels like an outsider committed the crime, and the body may even be dumped near this village."

Everyone listened to Xu Zhizhi's serious analysis and did not feel it was inappropriate. Some even thought it was quite good.

At least it's a bit reassuring.

"When enemies come, we have soldiers to stop them; when water comes, we have earth to block it. There are a lot of people in the crew. Even the most vicious person would not dare to do bad things when there are so many people around." Director Meng waved his hand and said.

Mainly because of the advanced surveillance, their crew even hired security guards. Although they are mainly protective equipment, they are also trained professionals.

After Director Meng's advice, everyone relaxed a little, found a seat to sit down, and reviewed the script.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of sirens was heard, and then the loudspeakers in the village sounded, summoning the villagers to gather in the village square.

Xu Zhizhi knew that this was a plan to look for the body during the afternoon.

At the same time, it can also determine whether there are any missing people in the village. This method is fast and accurate.

The crew also noticed it and started talking about it. Everyone was curious about what was going on.

Director Meng and Xu Zhizhi looked at each other and finally decided to just wait.

If the case is solved quickly, they will continue filming. If not, they will prepare to move to other villages to film.

Director Meng also comforted a few people and let them eat first. There were quite a few villagers, so the search would be completed quickly.

Xu Zhizhi was not curious and ate the prepared meal in silence.

They lived in a farmyard with a carved iron gate at the entrance, and the whole building was full of people. The danger was small, so even if everyone heard something, they just discussed it for a few sentences and then waited for the result.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the young men in their twenties and thirties and understood why Director Meng was so calm.

Lin Yu didn't come this time, so only Su Yue came. She looked at Xu Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid. Just go out less in the future," Xu Zhizhi said while eating quietly.

Su Yue looked at Xu Zhizhi's calm expression and also calmed down, "I just felt scared, as if there was some perverted murderer behind it."

Xu Zhizhi smiled and said nothing more.

Because there were so many people around, Xu Zhizhi felt a lot more at ease. Then she washed up and went to bed.

There is no time to worry about so much, she has to get up tomorrow morning to film.

The small hotel was renovated in the past two years. The style is simple white walls and wooden closets. The room is simply decorated with some pastoral style chairs and lamps, which looks very fresh.

Su Yue replaced the bed in the hotel with the bedding that Xu Zhizhi used in the apartment. She learned this from assistant Zhong Man next door. She said that this way she could sleep better and be in a better state for acting.

Xu Zhizhi thanked her, told her to go back and rest, and closed the doors and windows.

This is necessary no matter where you are.

Su Yue nodded and left. Xu Zhizhi washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.

The episode about human bones no longer affected Xu Zhizhi's sleep. Perhaps it was a habit, so she even simulated the scene of a peasant woman killing someone and dismembering the body.

This way I felt more confident and it was easier to get into the role of Jiang Ningfu searching for the corpse.

After the simulation, Xu Zhizhi lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After a good night's sleep, Xu Zhizhi was woken up by the alarm clock. But unlike the previous discomfort, she was refreshed as soon as she opened her eyes after getting more sleep.

After washing up, I went downstairs to put on the prepared costume, found the dressing room on the set, and waited for the makeup artist to do my makeup.

Today's scene is about them entering the village to investigate, and first checking the scene of the dismemberment case.

The dismemberment took place at the farmer's cousin's house. Because the scene was too bloody, the local police did not dare to collect the bodies. In addition, they were afraid of ruining the crime scene, so they sent the serious crime team to collect the bodies.

Jiang Ningfu and her assistant, and the rest were Wen Qing and Fang Cheng. In order to confirm the evidence as soon as possible and calm the panic in the nearby villages, the Municipal Bureau dispatched these three most capable people.

Entering the cordoned yard, the strong smell of blood made everyone frown.

Then there were the bodies in the pig and chicken pens. The ground was dark brown, just like the blood stains on the ground when pigs were slaughtered in the countryside. There were black hairs on the piled straw, and through the door of the small building, you could directly see the dried blood inside.

The horrifying scene chilled everyone, including the person filming it.

Of course, it won’t be so straightforward in the later stages, but there will definitely be certain scenes, such as shots of the ground and seats.

Wen Qing and Fang Cheng, who were experienced in many battles, were a little hesitant because they didn't know where to start.

Jiang Ningfu, however, began to inspect the scene with an expressionless face, and the camera fell directly on her seemingly unmoved face.

It's not the kind of acting that's unmoved like being dull, but that kind of dangerous eyes and cold attitude. Muddy will only be criticized by the audience as having no acting skills, but the latter will not.

The person here was motionless because he was used to this scene. He was doing the related work very steadily, and the assistant beside him was taking pictures of all the traces of the scene.

There is a strange aura in his movements, which is serious yet chilling.

Jiang Ningfu's actions were apparently normal, but they gave off a dangerous and cold vibe that made people feel like they were being entangled by a snake.

The photographer had filmed many people before, but he was frightened when he saw Xu Zhizhi's eyes. He felt that she was not acting like Xu Zhizhi now, but like a murderous peasant woman.

Indifferent, cold, numb, and cruel, it seems like you can see the scene of a peasant woman swinging a knife to kill scum.

The camera was staring at and filming everyone, and from time to time everyone discussed a few words.

Jiang Ningfu picked up the extremely realistic corpse and stepped into the pigpen without a care in the world, collecting the remaining corpse, nails, hair, etc.

If it weren't for the stabilizer, the photographer couldn't imagine how shaky the footage would look.

After the collection, the bodies were taken to the police station for autopsy and analysis. The scenes were all in the yard. After filming, we immediately filmed again standing in the yard to infer the process and conduct a rehearsal.

Jiang Ningfu corrected the wrong cutting angles for everyone with a smile on her face.

It was not until noon that these scenes were successfully completed.

Xu Zhizhi calmed down, and the emotions about Jiang Ningfu in her eyes gradually faded.

Only then did she notice the three people standing by her side. All three of them were looking at her with the same shock in their eyes.

They are lean and strong, and you can tell at a glance that they are trained people.

Xu Zhizhi looked over curiously, and the other party also looked over.

One of the girls' eyes changed and she smiled at Xu Zhizhi.

Because a murder had occurred, Xu Zhizhi immediately guessed that these three people might be police officers.

Seeing the three people holding out their police IDs, Xu Zhizhi confirmed that they were probably looking for her.

Director Meng stepped forward and asked them what brought them to the set.

"We're here to find Xu Zhizhi. We have some questions for her," said the short-haired policewoman.

Everyone looked in Xu Zhizhi's direction, and Xu Zhizhi raised her head from her lunch. She had just thought that these people might interrupt her meal, so she ate quickly in the hope of finishing it as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, she finished her last bite of rice, stood up from the wooden stool and said, "Okay."

After Xu Zhizhi stood up, the three told Director Meng that it was just a routine inquiry. Director Meng said he knew and chose a quiet room for them to be questioned.

This room is actually the room where the peasant woman lived after she killed someone and dismembered the body.

Xu Zhizhi felt that they were quite good at choosing, as they picked this place right away.

The four of them sat down around the sofa, and the man in the lead asked first, "I heard that you could tell at a glance that there was a human humerus in the dog's mouth. You have a very good eye!"

The three people looked at Xu Zhizhi with different eyes, some were wary and questioning, some were curious, some were puzzled, and some were admiring.

Xu Zhizhi was sure she was not mistaken, and the other party admired her.

She smiled at the girl with admiring eyes, then looked at the captain who asked the question, "This is not difficult. I have learned some forensic-related knowledge in Jiang City, and I have also read relevant books. Of course, learning these is not what I want to do, but it is necessary for filming the TV series."

She didn't want to be misunderstood as someone who wanted to commit a crime, she really didn't.

"We have consulted the police in Jiang City and this is indeed true. The main purpose this time is that we want to ask you about your opinion on the case. We heard from them that you have certain talents in criminal profiling." The captain continued to ask.

Xu Zhizhi was stunned. "I don't have any opinion. This is just a coincidence. I just discovered it and called the police."

The police force is full of talented people, and Xu Zhizhi feels that there is no need for her to stand out.

"But you are really talented. According to my senior sister, you learn forensics very quickly and are very good at criminal profiling!" The short-haired girl looked at Xu Zhizhi and said, "You can give it a try. This case covers a wide area and we encountered some difficulties."

Another person suddenly spoke to help: "And if we solve it earlier, the crew will be less worried. With us here, we can also protect the crew from filming smoothly during the period."

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes were all kind.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the three people with her eyelids drooped. After thinking for a few seconds, she smiled and nodded.

"It's okay, we just need assistance. Just give us some ideas," the captain soothed.

Since I'm a non-staff member, there's no need for me to get involved too much. I just need to give some ideas.

Xu Zhizhi nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll do my best."

"Okay, I'll briefly explain the case," said the captain.

In fact, this case is not a simple case, but a case that is already under investigation. It can be said that the bones found by Xu Zhizhi are one of the corpses of the victims in this case.

This is a very rampant criminal who seemed to be provoking the police by dumping the victims' bodies in surrounding areas of Beijing.

The bone the dog brought was just one of them.

As early as five days ago, the case was opened for investigation because the deceased's internal organs were found.

"Then we gradually found the deceased's thighs, calves, torso, and hands. The only thing that was not found was probably the deceased's head." The captain took out a photo, looked at Xu Zhizhi, and then handed the photo to Xu Zhizhi.

When Xu Zhizhi reached out to take the photo, she always felt that something was wrong, as if an inexplicable feeling was enveloping her.

After receiving the photos, Xu Zhizhi's eyes fell on the photos of corpses. She flipped through a few of them and saw that they were all bloody and cruel, with internal organs piled up at the crime scene, giving off a different kind of disgust.

It's not that the corpse is disgusting, but the way it is handled is disgusting, as if it is declaring or provoking something.

Xu Zhizhi narrowed her eyes, then put down the photo and looked at the three people, "Has the deceased's identity not been determined yet?"

"No, the murderer corroded the fingerprints and palm prints of the body, and no biological samples were left at the scene. It is impossible to determine where the first crime scene was." The short-haired girl looked at Xu Zhizhi and slowly told the police what they had found.

Combined with what I said before, since the head was not found, there are no fingerprints.

Xu Zhizhi inquired about the situation of the missing persons and found that they did not find any suitable candidates.

Xu Zhizhi smiled bitterly, "Do you want me to make the judgment or to perform an autopsy?"

"We found another limb in the village, and the forensic doctor is on the way. If you are free, you can go and help us take a look." The captain invited very naturally.

Xu Zhizhi always felt that this statement was a bit absurd, but she didn't realize what was wrong.

Thinking that the crew needed to film quietly, Xu Zhizhi thought about it and nodded in agreement. There would be a two-hour break at noon, which was enough time.

She reported to Director Meng and went to the crime scene where the body was found with three other people.

When leaving, Xu Zhizhi was still thinking about what she had missed.

Unable to figure it out, she had no choice but to go along and take a look.

After getting in the car, several people introduced themselves to each other. The captain was very polite to Xu Zhizhi and even gave her a bottle of mineral water.

Xu Zhizhi looked at the captain in surprise, somewhat amazed at his sharp observation ability. She didn't drink water while eating, and now she was a little thirsty, but he actually noticed it.

Xu Zhizhi took the water and held it in her hand. When she arrived at the scene, she saw other policemen setting up a cordon. After preparing herself mentally, she unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a little before getting out of the car.

Like everyone else, Xu Zhizhi put on gloves, goggles and a hood. Since there were no extra simple isolation suits, she didn't put them on anymore and just lifted the cordon and walked in.

She is not a police officer and cannot be touched. She can only watch or make comments.

It is equivalent to inviting foreign aid.

She was allowed to enter the scene because it was already badly damaged. This place is not far from the village, and when the villagers found the hands on the ground, they swarmed to the front to watch.

There are quite a few brave ones who even touch people's hands directly.

The ground around them was covered with footprints, and even as they were checking, many villagers gathered around. They stood on the hillside outside the cordon, staring at everything in front of them with curiosity, and some even wanted to take pictures with their phones.

The police directly covered the camera, and the people from the local police station began to advise people not to take photos and try not to watch.

This is the flat land under the road. The place where the human hand was found is a small platform under the flat ground. Xu Zhizhi followed them down and his eyes fell on the human hand.

It was a severely decayed hand, covered with all kinds of bugs and maggots because it was in the wild, and there was bright red flesh and blood in the rotten black.

Because it was spring and the weather was good for a few days, the decay was aggravated and the stench was overwhelming. The unpleasant smell made many police officers who had never seen such a scene cover their mouths and run outside the cordon to vomit.

Xu Zhizhi felt a little itchy in her throat, because she had seen it so many times that she was used to it. She squatted down and looked carefully, then raised her head to look at the road.

Captain Li Feng squatted beside Xu Zhizhi. As a member of the criminal investigation team, he was used to seeing these things. He looked at the severed hand and then looked at Xu Zhizhi.

"The incision on the hand is neat, and the person who did it was an experienced person. The skin of the body is delicate, and based on the bones, it can be determined that it is a young woman, about 25 to 30 years old. Judging from the color of the remaining skin and the fine thread, it can be judged that the person is probably working as an office clerk."

Xu Zhizhi looked at the wound and added, "It should be the butcher's bone-chopping knife that was used to cut the body. Although the cuts on the body are neat, there are traces of chopping. The knife must have become a little blunt here, or the knife has not been sharpened and has not been used for a long time. A small amount of rust should be able to be extracted from the wound."

The others squatted quietly and listened to Xu Zhizhi's analysis, while Wang Yuyan took a notebook and wrote down the information.

Because the forensic doctor is handling other cases, it is too late here. You can give it to the forensic doctor for reference when he comes later.

Xu Zhizhi stood up, stepped onto the land above, and then stood on the road and looked at the platform. "We can take a similar object and throw it from the car to determine the strength and size of the murderer."

"You already have the basic inference," said Li Feng.

Xu Zhizhi thought for a moment before saying, "Based on preliminary judgment, this person is between 30 and 35 years old, male, financially challenged, has failed in several business ventures, has a bad temper, and should have been in the raw meat or brined meat business. He owns a van."

This was all Xu Zhizhi could get, at most a little more than Li Feng and the others.

"We will take it into consideration. Thank you for your cooperation," Li Feng said with a smile.

Xu Zhizhi shook her head indifferently, because the most important thing was that there were police officers with her. At the same time, she was also sure that the criminals had only dumped the body here, so the crew could still shoot safely.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there were some other discussions.

This dismemberment case is of a very heinous nature. The bodies were dumped in so many places, which shows how arrogant the murderer's personality and temper are.

Wang Yuyan looked at the records and said, "I wonder what he is spreading, or what his actions are for revenge. Is it society or individuals? Are there other victims? Where is the victim's head? And so on."

"I heard that you, Zhizhi, had previously drawn the face of the victim in the Nanhu corpse-drenching case in Yujiang City. It seems that you have a good ability in profiling. If there is a chance, I wonder if you could help draw it." Captain Li Feng seemed to remember something and asked Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if the case is solved soon, I can film the movie well."

Ever since she joined the Crime Assistance System, Xu Zhizhi felt that no matter what she did, she would be involved in the case.

If she had not been certain that this system could not affect the real world, she would really have thought that everything was arranged by the system.

Adhering to the idea of ​​solving the problem if it can't be avoided, Xu Zhizhi also wants to help the police solve the case as soon as possible and let this matter pass quickly.

At this time, Xu Zhizhi felt that there was news, so she opened her phone and checked.

It was a message from Shen Junyu, asking her if she was used to living in the village.

Xu Zhizhi smiled slightly and typed a reply quickly.

Knowing to Not Know: It’s my habit. The crew has made good arrangements and the filming will officially start tomorrow.

She shares all the emotions and memories with the original Xu Zhizhi, and it can be said that the two have become one, so it is not difficult for Xu Zhizhi to accept all of this.

If that Xu Zhizhi went to his own world, he would also accept all his growth memories and emotional experiences.

Although she doesn't know what their lives will be like, Xu Zhizhi believes that their lives will become wonderful.

"Is this a message from a family member? But I heard that Zhizhi seems to have no contact with her family." Li Feng stood opposite Xu Zhizhi, looked at Xu Zhizhi with a kind look as she replied to the message, and asked casually.

After Xu Zhizhi replied, she raised her head and nodded gently, "Yes, they are not adoptive parents, but biological parents who were found recently. Although we are not sure yet, we have done a paternity test and the results will be out in three or four days."

There is nothing wrong with saying this about the police; they are not paparazzi who will expose their information at any time.

Wang Yuyan opened her eyes wide, looked at Xu Zhizhi in surprise, and sincerely congratulated her, "Congratulations! You have found a family that truly loves you."

"Thank you," Xu Zhizhi smiled shyly, with happiness in her eyes.

She thought she would not be able to accept it and would have a hard time accepting strange parents, but from chatting with them from time to time in the past two days, she felt that they were really nice, responsible, gentle and warm.

They are the best parents, and she can confide in them whatever troubles she has.

Li Feng continued to ask, "That's good. I've seen some children from abducted families who couldn't adapt to being with their biological parents after returning home and wanted to return to their original families. I see that you've adapted very well and are having a good time with them."

"It may have something to do with the fact that my adoptive parents didn't raise me for a few days. After I was adopted, I lived with my grandmother and rarely saw them. After my grandmother passed away, I was forced to cut off contact with that family." Although Xu Zhizhi felt that the person in front of her talked too much, she still answered truthfully.

The three of them nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They had not learned about this part in detail and only found out after hearing Xu Zhizhi's explanation.

Xu Zhizhi felt that the three people were easy to talk to, so she talked about the filming situation and their recent life trajectories.

She felt a little strange, but before she could think, a police car drove up with sirens blaring.

The car stopped not far from the road, and then the forensic doctor got out carrying a box.

Xu Zhizhi continued to watch, occasionally taking out her phone to reply to some messages.

After the forensic doctor got out of the car, he began to carefully investigate the surrounding situation. After finishing, he began to collect the body. Together with the humerus, it was a complete body except for the head.

The identity is uncertain. There is no skull or fingerprints, and the DNA entry system is not widely used. All these factors combined make it difficult to determine the identity.

But since the other party is doing this, it won't be too far away for the skull to appear.

Xu Zhizhi chatted with a few more people and was finally sent back.

For some reason, she felt like she was being interrogated.

Could it be that this case is related to me?

Xu Zhizhi thought of this at an inopportune time.

Then she shook her head.

How could this case be related to her? No matter how you analyze it, it is not even remotely related.
