Chapter 80: On-site Inspection



"It was the victim's younger brother who reported the case, and he was the first to discover the body."

The police officer pointed in the direction he pointed. Xu Yao and Mo Xiaoqing looked in the direction he pointed. Through the wooden lattice of the wine cabinet, they could see a man sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He buried his head deeply in his hands, motionless.

After going around, Xu Yao walked up to him and asked directly: "Are you Liu Lidan's brother? Were you the first to find your sister's body?"

He finally turned his head, his eyes were empty, his handsome face was decadent, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he muttered to himself:

"Dead, dead, my sister is dead! How come she was gone when I woke up?"

Liu Lidan, whose parents are both dead, has a younger brother who has been studying abroad and has only returned in recent years.

After her parents passed away, the two sisters depended on each other, so she treasured this younger brother very much. They have a very harmonious relationship and usually just quarrel a few times.

These are some information Xu Yao learned when dealing with Liu Lidan.

Xu Yao was sad. After Liu Lidan's death, Liu Lixuan was left alone.

Xu Yao understood his sorrow and pain.

For Xu Yao, every time he heard about a murder over the years, there seemed to be a cold light flowing through his heart. But this feeling was gone in the blink of an eye.

Now he has become so cold that he is almost cold-blooded. He can look at every corpse calmly and objectively.

In a way, Liu Lidan is still his friend.

Mo Xiaoqing was an emotional person. She squatted down in front of Liu Lixuan, looked him in the eye, and tried to soften her tone word by word:

"I know you are very sad, but please calm down and tell us what happened?

Tell the police everything about how you found your sister's body."

Mo Xiaoqing's calm and soft voice had a soothing effect, and Liu Lixuan gave her a trusting look.

"My sister has been in a bad mood recently. She always needs sleeping pills to fall asleep. If my sister was in a bad mood, she should have moved back earlier.

Then, this kind of thing would not have happened."

Xu Yao replied calmly: "Don't blame yourself. Just say it calmly. No one can predict everything."

He looked around and asked, "What time did you get here?"

"I came here at 10:30 in the morning. I heard from the nanny, Mrs. Du, that my sister had not gotten up yet, so I waited in the villa lobby.

But it was already 11:30 and my sister had not come down yet. I had no choice but to go upstairs and knock on my sister's door.

But no matter what I did, the door wouldn't open. My sister has been very anxious recently, and I was afraid that something might have happened to her. I

quickly asked Mrs. Du to get the spare key, opened the door, and found my sister lying in a pool of blood."

Liu Lixuan choked up countless times while speaking this part, and calmed down several times before he spoke it out intermittently.

Xu Yao asked again, "I heard that you have a very good relationship with your sister, but why didn't you choose to live in a villa with your sister after returning to China, but lived in a single apartment?"

Liu Lixuan rubbed his hands with a gleam in his eyes, "I am engaged in design work in the city, and I live day and night in reverse, and the villa is too far away from the city, which is not convenient at all.

Besides, my sister has several villas all over the country, and she rarely lives here. She only came to stay here this time because she came to Kuala Kangsar to participate in an event."

As he spoke, his emotions became excited again, so Xu Yao had to give up and let Liu Lixuan go back to the room to rest for a while.

Xu Yao began to investigate the scene. He found that Mo Xiaoqing was far away from him. He shouted unhappily, "Little one, stay behind me!"

Liu Lidan died in the large bedroom on the left side of the second floor of the villa, which was connected to a very spacious open-air balcony.

From the balcony, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire lake. The villa was built beside the lake, and you can fish with a fishing rod extended from the second floor.

The lake water is blue and clear. The area of ​​the lake is not too large, at most a dozen meters wide, and rows of white poplar trees are planted on the opposite side.

Although Xu Yao had been with Liu Lidan for a week, she had never brought Xu Yao back to the villa.

I didn't expect that Liu Lidan also loved reading. Xu Yao walked over and flipped through the books on the bookshelf.

"Stars and Planets", "A Brief History of Time"; Jules Verne's trilogy - "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Mysterious Island", "Children of Captain Grant"; Japanese popular science writer Nomoto Yoyo's books: "Looking at the Universe through Hubble: Cosmic Heritage", "Looking at the Universe through Hubble: Endless Starry Sky", "Looking at the Universe through Hubble: Ocean of Stars"

There are more than a dozen books on astronomy and geography.

The bedroom was a mess. The safe was opened, and there was nothing inside. All the drawers were opened, and even the bed in the bedroom was turned upside down.

Xu Yao was very serious during the case handling process. His usual casual smile disappeared, and now he was serious as if he was cutting with a knife.

Since the technical survey department had not yet arrived, Xu Yao decided to survey it himself first.

His gaze stayed on the corpse, his expression a little painful, after thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Little guy, remember what I said."

"Yes, Captain Xu." "

There are traces of a fight in the bedroom. There is a purple bruise on Liu Lidan's head, which is likely caused by being hit by an object when fighting with the murderer. She was stabbed seven times, but only two of the fatal wounds were in the abdomen."

Xu Yao shook his head and used his hands to tear open the wounds, "Such wounds will not cause fatal injuries..."

Mo Xiaoqing interrupted, "Captain Xu, even if these injuries are not fatal, it is possible that they were delayed too long, causing her to lose too much and die?"

Xu Yao did not comment, stood up again, and analyzed the layout of the entire villa. The left side of the bedroom is connected to the cloakroom, and the right side of the bedroom is connected to a large living room. On the other side of the living room, there is a study and a lounge.

Most of the books in the study are new and have never been flipped through.

Xu Yao once again stood at the door of the master bedroom and looked around. The room was elegant and tidy, all in a unified European style.

He came to the cloakroom again. When he saw the room full of clothes, shoes and bags, Xu Yao was a little confused as to why women needed so many clothes to dress themselves up.

Women are really complicated creatures.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise, and Mo Xiaoqing leaned in from Xu Yao's side. "Wow, there are too many clothes!"

She said as she walked to the closet, opened the door, and observed carefully with sparkling eyes.

Xu Yao saw Mo Xiaoqing's expression like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His originally tense heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

Xu Yao also walked to the closet. When he smelled the fresh soap scent on Mo Xiaoqing, he couldn't help but get closer.

Suddenly, Xu Yao felt a cool and soft touch on his face. The tingling sensation distracted him.

He looked up and found that it was Mo Xiaoqing's fair face that touched his face.

If it was another female police officer, Xu Yao would have retreated without a word, but because it was Mo Xiaoqing, he wanted to get closer.
