Chapter 63 Calculating the murderer
Huo Ning was just about to distribute lucky bags to invite new audience members when there was a knock on the door.
She could only temporarily stop the live broadcast and turned to walk to the door.
She randomly summoned a ghost that lived in the house.
"Go and help me see who's outside."
The female ghost in the white dress nodded, floated out the door and quickly floated back.
"Two policemen, a man and a woman."
police?
Huo Ning was a little confused, but still opened the door.
The people who came were indeed the Jiangcheng police.
The two men showed her their ID and asked her to go to the police station with them.
Huo Ning: “…”
She took out the certificate she had paid for when she came back from Yecheng, and said, "Hello, police comrade, I am not promoting feudal superstition. I have a certificate."
Although neither the police nor the official Tengjiao website were able to close her live broadcast room.
But being targeted by the police is still not a good thing.
So when Huo Ning had some money in his hands, he immediately spent money to get the certificate.
She is now a certified metaphysics anchor!
Two policemen: “…”
"It doesn't matter whether you have a certificate or not. We have something important to ask you."
Adhering to the principle of not offending the police, Huo Ning still went to the police station.
A police officer named Zhou asked her seriously, "The Yancheng police contacted us and said, did you predict that Xu Shanshan was dead?"
Huo Ning nodded, "Yes."
Officer Zhou frowned, and subconsciously wanted to educate Huo Ning so that she wouldn't promote feudal superstition.
But now they had something to ask each other, so he held back.
"Can you figure out where her body is?"
Only after finding the body and identifying its source can they start looking for the murderer and give an explanation to the deceased.
But the problem is that the Yancheng police currently have no clues.
The longer you wait, the harder it will be to investigate.
Huo Ning still cooperated with the police and nodded.
"In Yancheng Shangpo Mountain, enter from the east foot of the mountain, then walk about 900 meters southeast. There is a cave covered by bushes and vines. Enter the cave and walk 20 meters to the left of the cave entrance. You will see a black suitcase with the contents inside."
"But..."
After a pause, Huo Ning said, "But the body has been decomposed. You have to be mentally prepared."
Officer Zhou did not react much to this.
He has been a policeman for so many years and has seen all kinds of cases.
It's just a dismemberment case.
The most important thing is that this matter was not handled by their Jiangcheng police.
The ones who will go out to investigate at that time will be the Yancheng police.
After thinking for a while, Officer Zhou continued, "Since you can figure out the location of the body, can you figure out who the murderer is?"
Huo Ning: “…”
Good guy, this is the time to grab her.
Huo Ning forced a smile and said, "The murderer is a man named Zhang Peng."
"You can find it by following this person's information."
Officer Zhou nodded. "We understand. Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome."
Huo Ning smiled and looked at Officer Zhou with a sincere look in her eyes. "If it is found out that what I said is true, will I get any reward?"
Officer Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I will give you a banner."
Fly legs are also meat. Although there is no money, the banner is also a reward.
Huo Ning nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for your banner!"
After Officer Zhou had asked enough questions, he let Huo Ning go back.
When the Yancheng police received the information from the Jiangcheng police, they were almost speechless for several minutes.
A fortune-teller figured out where the body was and also identified the murderer?
Stop it, aren't you just teasing them?
However, despite all the complaints, the Yancheng police were unwilling to let go of any clues and began a crucial investigation into the information provided by Huo Ning.
It would have been better if I hadn't checked. After checking, I actually found the body at the location Huo Ning said.
Because there is a stream full of dead fish and shrimps next to that place, when it is exposed to the hot sun in the summer, the smell it emits is almost enough to make people's souls leave.
This smell just covered up the foul stench emanating from the corpse.
Therefore, even if pedestrians pass by, they will not notice anything.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by bushes and vines and could not be seen unless one looked carefully.
The police confirmed through DNA matching that the deceased was Xu Shanshan.
Xu's mother burst into tears in the police station.
After the body was found, the news that Huo Ning said the murderer was a man named Zhang Peng instantly attracted the attention of the Yancheng police.
The police launched an investigation and found that Zhang Peng was a major suspect.
He is a native of Yancheng. He has often visited Shangpo Mountain since he was a child and knows everything about the mountain.
Before the incident, he had purchased a suitcase online. The size, color and model of the suitcase were exactly the same as the one at the crime scene.
The police immediately launched an arrest warrant for Zhang Peng.
At first Zhang Peng was stubborn and refused to admit that he had killed someone.
But under the police's memory recovery technique, his psychological defenses collapsed little by little, and he finally collapsed and admitted the fact that he had committed murder.
When asked about his motive for murder, he acted more justified than anyone else.
"She cheated me out of money, so I killed her."
The police frowned and asked, "How did she cheat you out of money?"
Zhang Peng began to tell the police everything about how the two of them became friends, fell in love online, discussed marriage online, and finally broke up. He told the police everything in detail.
"I gave her hundreds of thousands of dollars of my savings. We had agreed to get married, but she suddenly changed her mind and broke up with me just because I didn't want to go to Country T. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have killed her."
During their relationship, Zhang Peng spent no less than 300,000 yuan on Xu Shanshan.
However, the police checked Xu Shanshan's bank statements for the past year and did not find any such money.
"The real Xu Shanshan doesn't know you at all. You've been deceived."
The Yancheng police informed Zhang Peng of the information given to them by the Jiangcheng police, as well as what they had found out themselves.
"You have encountered AI fraud. The scammer used a synthetic voice and face-swapped photos and videos to talk to you about love and defraud you of your money."
"Xu Shanshan's voice and video were stolen by them. She did not do these things. She is also a victim."
"You killed an innocent man."
Zhang Peng's face turned pale and he stood there in a daze.
His lips trembled and he could not utter a word.
He suddenly remembered that when he killed Xu Shanshan, he had questioned her why she lied to him.
However, Xu Shanshan kept saying that she didn't know him and that he had found the wrong person.
But he was in an extremely irritable state at the time and couldn't listen to anything she said.
"How did you come across the deceased? And how did you kill her?"
