Chapter 95 She Disappeared: Murder Case but No Body
Fang Rui and Captain Li followed Su Momo on the set for three days. The promotional film was finally finished, and their bodyguard mission was over.
Before leaving, Su Momo insisted on giving each of them a signed poster. They were not interested in such things and were going to refuse. But Su Momo insisted on giving it to them, saying that if they didn't accept it, they would go to the director to complain about them.
"Two police officers, I am a big star after all, you don't have to be so disrespectful."
Fang Rui originally wanted to throw it away, but felt that it was a bit disrespectful, so he decided to take it back. There was a crack in the wall of the forensic office, and this could be used to cover it up and beautify it.
Back in the bureau, Mu Mian approached Fang Rui again. She sniffed carefully for a while, "There is no smell of blood. There is a hint of perfume. I have smelled this smell on Chen Xue's idol. Fang Rui, is the case you are investigating related to her?"
Fang Rui smelled his clothes, and there was no smell of perfume at all. He didn't know how Mu Mian could smell it. He must have stayed on the set for too long, so he was tainted by the smell.
"Yes, you guessed right, but the case is over. We caught the person who made the cursed doll." Fang Rui handed the poster in his hand to Mu Mian, "Doesn't Chen Xue like Su Momo? Give this signature to her."
"Your gift is too late. Chen Xue already has her signature." Mu Mian took the poster, took a look at it, and still felt that the signature on the autopsy record book looked better.
"..." So, does Su Momo give autographs to people when she sees them?
"Fang Rui, you better not hide it from me next time. You see, I will know it in the end anyway." Mu Mian said in a proud tone, "Your ability to keep secrets is a bit bad."
"The director insisted on keeping it a secret from me. I don't know what is worth keeping about this matter." Fang Rui noticed that Mu Mian's eyes were heavy with dark circles. He asked, "Mu Mian, there have been no cases recently, why did you stay up late? Could
it be that you couldn't sleep because you were thinking about the corpse?" Something happened. I don’t think about corpses anymore. I’ve been studying metaphysics recently because I found that I am very lacking in common sense and need to learn a lot of books, but I can’t understand their logic, so I can’t imagine that there are so many weird magics in this world and so many people believe in them.”
"Any results?" Fang Rui thought of the talisman paper. Mu Mian must have felt frustrated because he couldn't crack the secret of the talisman paper, so he became interested in this.
"Of course. The talisman paper is a kind of evil magic in Thailand. It is usually used with the dried corpse of a fetus. It absorbs the good luck of the people around it through the yin energy of the fetus, allowing the user's luck to reach the peak in a short period of time."
Fang Rui frowned, "You mean, the doll is not only not a cursed doll, but will bring good luck to the owner of the doll."
"Yes. But there are more pinholes and dog blood on the doll. There is no such thing in regular witchcraft operations, and the name will not be embroidered on the doll. It needs the blood of its owner to nourish. After many tests, I detected human blood in the fabric of the doll's head. It should have been raised for some time."
Fang Rui suddenly realized something, maybe the person who made the doll and the person who put the doll in the room are not the same person.
"So, we shouldn't call the doll a cursed doll." Mu Mian corrected Fang Rui's statement.
Mu Mian gave the poster given by Fang Rui to Chen Xue.
"Mianmian, this poster is a limited edition and very hard to buy. Oh, there's an autograph on it! How much did you spend to buy it, Mianmian? I love you so much. I've decided to work overtime with you every day from now on."
"Then don't forget. I've already recorded it." Mu Mian took out her bone recorder. She decided to hide the truth so that Chen Xue would voluntarily work overtime with her.
Fang Rui was hesitating whether to re-investigate the case of the cursed doll when his phone rang.
"Captain Fang, we received a report that a homicide was suspected to have occurred in the dressing room of Jiangzhou TV Station..."
Fang Rui and others immediately rushed to the crime scene.
Jiangzhou TV Station is conducting the first rehearsal of the New Year's Eve concert. In order to increase ratings and advertising fees, the TV station spent a lot of money to invite a large number of popular stars and veteran artists. The entrance of the TV station was crowded with fans of various stars. Fang Rui and his friends had to work hard to squeeze in.
The waiting room and various aisles were also crowded with people.
In order to increase the makeup speed and avoid the artists being disturbed, the TV station provides independent dressing rooms for high-profile artists.
The entire makeup area is not monitored. The outermost is a public dressing room, where extras squeeze in to put on makeup. Going inside, there are several rooms side by side, which are dressing rooms allocated to artists of higher status. The dressing room where the murder occurred is at the innermost.
As soon as they entered the dressing room, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
The floor was a mess. The dressing table had shifted, and various cosmetics were scattered all over the floor. The hangers also fell to the ground, and the expensive dresses on them were covered in blood.
There was a lot of blood in the room. There was a pool of blood on the floor near the dressing table. The blood on both sides was dark in color, and lighter in the middle. There was also a small amount of splattered blood on the floor and walls.
"Preliminary judgment is that this blood is human blood." Mu Mian extracted blood samples from various parts of the pool of blood, and also extracted samples of splattered blood on the walls and the floor, intending to go back for a DNA test.
Mu Mian searched for most of the day and did not see the body, but if the blood on the floor was from the same person, then that person's life would be in danger.
"There are at least 500 to 600 milliliters of blood on the ground. We must find the injured person, otherwise he must be dead." Chen Xue said.
"Boss, it's strange. If someone was injured, where would he go? If he was dead, why did the murderer carry the body to such a crowded place? It should be easy to find the body." Xiao Zhang was confused.
Xiao Zhang expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts.
The person who reported the case was the program's director Zhang Dawei, who described the process of entering the murder scene.
"It was past midnight, and I came to the dressing room, intending to communicate with Su Momo about the details of the show. I knocked on the door for a long time and called Su Momo many times, but no one answered. I called her assistant, but her assistant went out to buy her milk tea, and she didn't know the situation.
I felt something was wrong, so I slammed the door. As a result, the door was not locked, and I fell to the ground. My hand felt wet, and I took a closer look and saw a large bloodstain on the floor of the room. So I quickly called the police."
Fang Rui asked: "The owner of this dressing room is Su Momo"
"Yes. This dressing room is specially for her."
Fang Rui thought of the cursed doll, which was also covered in blood. The murderer left the doll as a warning of murder, right?
If the murderer wanted to kill someone, then where was Su Momo's body?
Fang Rui looked at Zhang Dawei, "Can anyone of you contact Su Momo?"
"No one can contact her. Her agent has called her many times but couldn't get through. We suspect she is dead. We don't know where the murderer hid her body."
At this time, a cell phone ringtone rang in the room. It was a Japanese song. Fang Rui and the others followed the sound and found a cell phone under the foot of the dressing table.
The phone was vibrating, and the caller ID showed: Sister Sun, the black-hearted agent.
"This Sister Sun is Su Momo's agent," Zhang Dawei said, "This should be Su Momo's phone. I remember that her phone case was also red, with the words 'get rich' written on it, which is very similar to this one."
