When the group arrived, they found that they were almost at the edge of the western city, in a rather remote location, and Li Zhaodi was staying in a small, three-room courtyard house.
Through Aunt Zhao's explanation, they learned that this was the house left by Li Zhaodi's deceased husband's family. Her husband's surname was Zhou, and this place also belonged to the Zhou family.
As expected, when Captain Yu knocked on the door, no one answered, just as Aunt Zhao had said.
He thought for a moment, then gave Sun Dahai a look. Upon seeing this, Sun Dahai climbed over the wall from the side and opened the door for them from the inside.
After the door opened, Aunt Zhao hurriedly followed her inside.
Once inside, she went straight to the bedroom and called out, "Zhao Di? Zhao Di, are you home?"
When she didn't hear a response, she pushed open the bedroom door, which could be opened.
Seeing this, Su He and the others followed them inside.
However, once inside, they clearly smelled a fishy stench.
Captain Yu immediately sensed something was wrong and grabbed Aunt Zhao, who was about to go inside, saying, "Don't move!"
Aunt Zhao was startled. "What's wrong?"
Captain Yu didn't say anything, but shook his head at Su He, telling her not to move either, and then led Sun Dahai inside.
The bedroom wasn't large; the first thing you saw was a canopy bed with a mosquito net hanging on it. When Captain Yu pulled it open, he found someone lying on the bed, but only the back of their head and hair were visible, covered by a blanket.
Su He and Aunt Zhao could be vaguely seen through the gap.
Su He breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed the person was alright, so the smell probably wasn't what she had guessed.
Aunt Zhao seemed to think Li Zhaodi was asleep, and forgot Captain Yu's instructions, and walked over directly.
"Zhaodi, why aren't you saying anything at home? I was worried about you, I knocked on the door for days and there was no response."
After she still didn't reply, he got so angry that he just threw off the covers...
Then, with a cry of "Ah!", Aunt Zhao was startled by the sight in the quilt, her legs went weak, her vision went black, and she fell straight backward!
Fortunately, Su He caught her from behind, preventing her from falling to the ground.
And at that moment, she also saw the scene on the bed.
It turns out that the person in the bed, except for their head which was exposed, had their body replaced by a pillow.
In other words, there is only a head left on the bed, but if you look closely, you will find that the head has decomposed quite a bit, and there are large brown marks on the bed, which should be bloodstains. It is obvious that this person has been dead for a long time.
And they were brutally murdered.
Su He was trying her best to control herself, but the thought of what she had just seen still made her stomach churn.
Even Captain Yu and Sun Dahai looked grim.
Seeing that Aunt Zhao had already fainted, Captain Yu turned to Su He and said, "Take her out first and get her to the hospital to see a doctor, just in case anything happens. Also, go back to the station and call Captain Sun and the others over. We need people to isolate the scene and look for evidence. It's not enough for just the few of us."
"I see."
Su He nodded with a grim expression and carried the unconscious Aunt Zhao out.
As soon as I came out, I saw a young man in his early twenties walking towards me.
She paused for a moment upon seeing the person in her arms, then looked at her more closely before asking, "Is this my mom? What happened to my mom? Mom? Mom! What's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Su He asked, "Are you Aunt Zhao's son?"
"Yes, what's wrong with my mom?" the man asked anxiously.
Su He explained, "She fainted. Let's take her to the hospital first."
Perhaps because Su He was wearing a police uniform, he trusted her and had no suspicions. He immediately squatted down and carried Aunt Zhao on his back.
They moved so fast that Su He didn't even have time to say that she had the strength to hug them.
