Chapter 1052: Who Was The Victim?

Di Ziyan didn’t expect Quan Jue to ask such a question. His eyes widened and he immediately denied it. “Of course not!”

“If you’re not the murderer, you can’t blame yourself. What happened? Who is the victim?” Chi Jiao asked.

“The deceased, Cao Mei, is 25 years old. She’s a member of the 117 Security Department and my subordinate. About an hour ago, our security department just got off work. Cao Mei lives alone, so as her division head, I was responsible for escorting her home. I thought that escorting her to the entrance of her district would be enough. I didn’t expect her to be killed within the district.” Di Ziyan lowered his head in guilt. He looked very disappointed in himself.

Seeing that he was so affected, Chi Jiao quickly comforted him. “You can’t be blamed for what happened today. You can’t predict the murderer’s actions. Where’s Cao Mei’s corpse? I want to take a look.”

“As this murder was discovered very quickly, our people managed to immediately take control of the crime scene. You can go straight to the crime scene to take a look.” Huo Chen raised the police tape and entered the district.

He kept the tape raised and glanced at her.

However, Chi Jiao did not follow him. It was Quan Jue who ducked under the police tape first.

After crossing the border, Quan Jue nodded at Huo Chen and took the police tape from him. “Thank you, Officer Huo. Jiaojiao, come on.”

Quan Jue had cleverly maneuvered him out of the way. Huo Chen frowned and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.

Chi Jiao took a step forward and entered the restricted area.

Seeing them walking side by side, Huo Chen pursed his lips. Exasperated, he walked with Di Ziyan.

The four of them arrived at the crime scene.

At this moment, the police were already taking photos and collecting evidence. To protect the victim’s privacy, the police had already warned the residents not to approach the corpse. They were also forbidden from taking photos and making any kind of recording.

Therefore, although every resident was very curious about the murder, no one dared to go near the scene. They just stood at their windows and peered over curiously.

People had an innate curiosity about murders. When people realized that there was a corpse, they would not choose to avoid it. Instead, they would go and take a closer look.

Although Chi Jiao knew that it was human instinct, she couldn’t allow it.

She squatted down and examined Cao Mei’s corpse seriously.

Cao Mei’s death was very tragic. Her eyes were open and she seemed to have experienced great pain before she died. Her expression was distorted, and there were still tears on her face.

Chi Jiao squatted down and looked at Cao Mei’s nostrils and ears. Her brain matter was leaking out. Chen Rao’s corpse was in a much better condition than Cao Mei’s. It was obvious that the murderer had killed in a hurry this time.

However, the murderer still managed to dig out Cao Mei’s heart and eat the entire thing.

Cao Mei’s corpse was ruined beyond recognition. There was a huge hole in her chest, and her death was extremely hideous. Just looking at her made one shiver.

“It’s all my fault…” Di Ziyan couldn’t bear to look.

Cao Mei was his subordinate. In addition, he felt that today’s incident could have been avoided. Who knew that it would end up like this? He felt heartache!

“My condolences. There’s nothing you could have done about it.” Huo Chen patted Di Ziyan’s shoulder gently.

Quan Jue walked to the side and saw a cigarette butt lying on the ground not far from Cao Mei.

There was a lot of cigarette ash on the cigarette butt. It was obvious that no one puffed on the cigarette after it was lit. That was how so much ash managed to accumulate.
