"There are no obvious external injuries on the surface of the corpse, but the skull is severely damaged. There is a large area of ​​​​depression at his temple, the mandible has fallen to the side, the forebrain is almost shattered, and the two eye sockets are empty. It looks very weird.

Mo Xiaoqing looked at the corpse and suddenly exclaimed, "Captain Xu, is it true that the owner of the house is missing, but was murdered?"

Xu Yao took the flashlight and looked carefully again. He found that the fracture line on the left rear of the skull was radioactive, the fracture socket was dark yellow, and there was a large and obvious depression in the middle.

It is certain that the deceased was murdered, and he suffered a fatal blow to the back of his forehead, and he must have had a fierce fight before his death.

His injuries were at the rear and diagonal part, so it was very likely that the murderer attacked him from behind when he was least prepared.

Mo Xiaoqing looked around and didn't find any other clothes, not even shoes, so she began to speculate: "Captain Xu, could it be that the deceased was moved to the cellar after his death? Because he was not wearing shoes or other clothes."

Xu Yao looked up at the exit of the cellar and nodded, "It should be very likely, and this corpse is very likely to be Johnson, the owner of this house."

Mo Xiaoqing asked again, "Then can you tell how long he has been dead?"

"He should have been dead for many years. The exact number of years must be determined by the forensic doctor.

It has been almost eight years since Johnson was reported missing. If it was really him, the reason he disappeared was that he was murdered and hidden in the cellar, and no one has found him."

Who wanted to kill him? Mo Xiaoqing muttered this, and she had a partial answer in her heart.

This has always been the house where Li Tieer and his American adoptive father lived together. His adoptive mother has been dead for nearly ten years, which means that Li Tieer has lived alone with this adoptive father for about five or six years since he came to the United States.

In addition, Mo Xiaoqing and Xu Yao once visited and investigated the neighbors nearby, and they also claimed that Li Tieer's American adoptive father had a tendency to abuse children and had been imprisoned for child abuse.

Mo Xiaoqing said loudly: "Captain Xu, this body is Johnson, and could it be that Li Tieer killed him?"

Xu Yao did not answer him. A scene suddenly appeared in front of him:

in the kitchen, young Li Tieer was in tears, kneeling on the ground, dragging Johnson's thigh, begging for mercy

, asking Johnson not to beat him anymore, not to torture him.

But Johnson did not listen, holding the cigarette butt in his mouth and pressing it hard on his body, his face, and his thigh.

Li Tieer began to beg for mercy, but he did not get the mercy of this adoptive father in a foreign country, but instead he punched and kicked him even more fiercely.

Li Tieer's eyes were blurred and blood dripped from the corners of his eyes. He kept pushing back, and kept retreating. His hands couldn't help but groping behind his back, and he unexpectedly touched an iron hammer.

He took a deep breath quietly, and after his breathing calmed down a little, he cast his eyes fiercely at this adoptive father.

The corners of his mouth curled up, pulling out an arc of smile, and without hesitation, he swung the iron hammer in his right hand and smashed it directly at the left side of his father's head.

There was a thud, and the adoptive father from a foreign country fell to the ground.

Li Tieer's smile became wider and wider, and in the end he opened his mouth and laughed loudly. He finally got rid of

him and he would no longer need to be afraid in the future. He used all his strength to drag the adoptive father into the cellar, leaving a streak of blood on the tiles in the room.

After dragging his father into the cellar, Li Tie'er was still afraid that his adoptive father would sit up, so he found another axe and smashed it hard.

"Captain Xu, what should we do now?" Mo Xiaoqing's call brought Xu Yao back to his senses.

Xu Yao was not in a hurry to call the police, but he and Mo Xiaoqing looked around. After confirming that there were no useful clues, the two climbed up the iron ladder and went back to the house again.

As soon as Xu Yao returned to the ground, he called the police station that had jurisdiction over the area.

The two people standing in the courtyard patted the dust on their bodies and breathed in the air outside.

The air outside was indeed not like the cellar, where there was a musty smell mixed with corpses, and it would be suffocating if you stayed there for a while.

Mo Xiaoqing asked Xu Yao directly, "What should we do next?"

Xu Yao thought for a while and replied: "Let's stay here for two days and see what evidence the police can find. Because we are in a foreign country, we have no right to interfere in this matter.

In addition, we did not follow any legal procedures to enter this villa to search. If we interfere too much in the case, the police here will definitely complain."

Mo Xiaoqing asked doubtfully: "Then what should we do?" "Captain Xu, you just said that he has been dead for a long time. If that's the case, can we still test DNA from physical evidence such as hair to confirm whether it was Li Tieer who did it?"

Xu Yao said that the possibility was not too high. Even if it was the adoptive father in the house who had just been in the United States, if the body had been there for too long, there would be many complicated procedures to go through if we opened a case for investigation. So we couldn't continue to waste time in the United States, and we could only wait for the results here.

——After

waiting for more than ten minutes, the sound of sirens was heard. Mo Xiaoqing's English could only hide behind Xu Yao

. Xu Yao was very familiar and communicated with the local police in fluent English.

Xu Yao asked Mo Xiaoqing to go back to the hotel first, and he followed the police here to deal with things.

Mo Xiaoqing also decided not to follow him. After all, she didn't speak English and she was unfamiliar with the place. It would be a burden even if she followed Xu Yao.

Mo Xiaoqing returned to the hotel and did not sit idle. She started searching for some online information about Li Tieer on her computer.

After Li Tieer came to the United States, he changed his name to Sidi.

Mo Xiaoqing found Li Tieer's social media account in the United States on the Internet, but there was no content in it, as if it had been deliberately deleted.

No matter how hard Mo Xiaoqing checked, she could not find any information about Li Tieer on the Internet.

This made Mo Xiaoqing very confused. Perhaps Li Tieer killed his adoptive father and hid him in the cellar. He was aware of his crime and deleted all traces of himself.
