"Oh dear, you're not interested, why ask so many questions?!" Hu Yue suppressed a laugh and continued to tease Song Mengmeng in a serious tone: "Let's leave it to Master Dukong. You get some rest, and when I come back from Fengtian City, I'll invite you to have hot pot together!"
"Wait, wait, wait, I'll go, I'll go, okay!" Thinking of that huge jar of demon beads, Song Mengmeng's mouth was practically watering. She quickly stopped Hu Yue from ending the cooperation and changed her mind very decisively, even more decisively than Hu Yue had expected.
For no other reason than that Hu Yue gave so much!
Hu Yue chuckled on the other end of the phone, but didn't tease Song Mengmeng any further. Instead, she simply told her the arrangements for picking her up early the next morning and then hung up.
When it comes to going out, Song Mengmeng always brings Hu Da along.
Hu Yue had no objection to this, since she had already decided to drive there, and with Hu Da there, there would be someone to switch the handlebars.
It was on the way that Hu Yue gave Song Mengmeng and the others a brief explanation of the case, which helped pass the time during the boring journey.
"At first, the Fengtian City police did not take this matter seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary case of a stolen corpse."
However, after three female corpses were found missing from the funeral home, the first murder finally occurred in the suburbs of Fengtian City, near the funeral home.
Hu Yue explained in great detail, starting almost from the beginning of the incident. She glanced at Song Mengmeng and the others and saw that they were listening attentively and had no intention of interrupting, before continuing to tell them the information she had gathered.
"And this murder was like the first domino to fall. In the next month, six more murders occurred in succession."
The victims were all young women, and they were all murdered on the roadside near the funeral home.
The killer was cruel and audacious; after murdering the girls, he would disembowel them and take one of their organs as a keepsake.
Originally, such cases were handled by the police station's major crime unit.
However, the police managed to extract two fingerprints from the victim. This should have been a great help in solving the case, but…
Hu Yue sighed, thinking about the report submitted by the police station. Even now, she was still amazed by the bad luck of those people in the police station. They really needed to go to a temple to burn incense and pray to get rid of their bad luck.
"But when they investigated, the fingerprints turned out to belong to the second victim who had been murdered!"
It has to be said that the Fengtian City Police Department was really unlucky this time. They thought the case was about to be solved, but the evidence they found led them into a dead end.
"The second victim lost both her hands. Although her hands were severed at the elbows, her body is still in the police station's morgue!"
How could she possibly be at the scene of the ninth victim's death?!
Police initially thought that the deceased might be connected to the second victim, which was why fingerprints of someone they knew were found on her body.
However, an investigation revealed that the two girls had never even met before, let alone known each other!
Therefore, faced with such inexplicable facts, the Major Crimes Unit reached out to our Special Cases Investigation Team for help, hoping we could go and help them resolve their immediate troubles.
This wasn't the first time Hu Yue had received a request for help from the police station, but this time the situation seemed particularly tricky.
"What's the police station's view on the whole case?!" Song Mengmeng was actually most concerned about the progress of the investigation. Although there might be some inexplicable mysteries involved, that didn't stop the Major Crimes Unit from summarizing, analyzing, and investigating the cases that had already occurred.
Surely it's not like we've already lost the ninth victim and still have absolutely no clue whatsoever!
"The investigators from the Major Crimes Unit initially thought this was a serial killer who had a tendency to hate society and was probably killing people out of revenge against society!"
Moreover, this series of murders seemed highly ritualistic, leading one to wonder if the killer was trying to vent some kind of pent-up frustration by killing these girls.
Hu Yue actually scoffed at the analysis given by the Major Crimes Unit.
Just as Song Mengmeng questioned, this was already the ninth victim, yet the police station's major crime unit still gave such a dismissive and perfunctory report.
Who do you think you are?!
"Let's go take a look first!" Song Mengmeng frowned slightly. She raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples, turned around, hugged her little pillow, and lay down on the sofa in the back seat, intending to take a nap first.
She had initially thought the police station would provide some reliable information, but...
It would be better if they investigated on their own after they arrived at their destination!
Starting from the capital city, driving to Fengtian is quite a long journey, so they didn't plan to arrive in one day. They chose to rest in Beijing that night and meet up with the special case team members who were also going to Beijing. When they arrived in Fengtian the next afternoon, the gloomy sky began to snow again.
Song Mengmeng was not yet able to adapt well to the cold weather. She tucked her head into her fluffy scarf, leaving only her bright eyes showing. She followed behind Hu Yue, quietly observing everything around her.
Knowing they were coming, the Fengtian City Police Department arranged for officers from the Major Crimes Unit to come and greet them early in the morning.
