Chapter 1135 - 581: Another Corpse Appears! (Part 2)

As soon as these words were spoken, a young technician asked, "If the murderer had already committed the murder, why would they move the corpse?"

Another young officer smiled and said, "Perhaps you don’t quite understand yet?"

"Is it possible that the murderer’s goal wasn’t just to kill the girl, but to use the corpse for other purposes as well?"

"Other purposes? Are you suggesting they are a necrophiliac?"

"We can’t rule out that possibility."

"I once read a report about young people stealing from cemeteries, opening coffins, and desecrating corpses due to sexual orientation issues."

The moment these words were spoken, Mr. Chen and Director Hou looked slightly shocked.

"It’s a possibility we can’t dismiss."

"We need to understand that killing someone here may not be discovered by others."

"But moving the body from here requires effort and could easily expose the murder."

"Therefore, there must be a strong motive behind this behavior."

Despite the heated discussion, Jiang An felt that the murderer’s motive was somewhat far-fetched.

Even the reason for moving the body was not very convincing.

If the murderer was merely a necrophiliac, would they kill someone just to find a body?

If he already hated the girl and aimed to kill first, and then engage in necrophiliac behavior.

Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?

Just then, Mr. Chen picked up the phone and dialed Qin Feng’s number:

"Hello, Qin Feng."

"Immediately sort out all of He Qian’s social connections and focus on the investigation."

Qin Feng, on the other end of the call, was sorting through the cohabitant details of two girls.

He asked, "Mr. Chen, what’s the matter?"

"Did you discover anything significant during the site inspection?"

Mr. Chen, excitedly on the phone, said, "We suspect the murderer’s target is very likely He Qian."

"And the other victim was possibly killed incidentally."

"So next, focus on sorting out people related to He Qian."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng quickly responded, "Okay, Mr. Chen."

"We are currently sorting through males connected to He Qian, including phone contacts and room booking records."

After hanging up, Mr. Chen was very pleased—finally finding a direction.

He analyzed, "In this light, He Qian is probably in grave danger."

"Being naked and suddenly confronted by the murderer while bathing, she might have already been victimized."

Meanwhile, another team was conducting interviews within the residential area.

They arrived at the door opposite the death scene.

"Knock, knock!"

A grandmother wearing glasses came to the door.

"Hello, we are officers from the Guangling City Public Security Bureau’s criminal investigation team."

The officer immediately displayed the badge in his hand.

The elderly woman, wearing reading glasses, glanced at it and asked, "Officer, what brings you here?"

"We want to ask if you know the residents opposite?"

The elderly woman looked up at the opposite side and noticed the busy officers inside.

She shook her head and said, "Just familiar faces, but never made contact."

She then asked, "What’s happened to them? Why suddenly so many officers?"

Because the case was confidential, the officer simply said, "Investigating a case, can’t reveal information."

"We’re asking if aside from the two girls, have you seen anyone else come by?"

"Someone else?"

The elderly woman thought for a while.

"No, we rarely see each other, just occasionally when taking out the trash we bump into them."

"We retired seniors stay home, while the young ones often go to work."

"Oh right, the house belonged to a former neighbor, rented to the two girls."

The officer nodded and asked, "Did you hear any other noises last night?"

"Other noises?"

"Yes, like fighting or shouting?"

"No, my hearing isn’t great."

She gestured to her ears.

"Usually my hearing is not clear, your voice was small, I couldn’t hear well."

"Okay, thank you."

Then, they went upstairs opposite the deceased’s residence.

Opening the door revealed a young couple.

After introducing themselves and asking questions, the couple quickly shook their heads—not knowing the two downstairs.

When asked about noise last night, they shook their heads.

Because they were both at their parents’ house last night and had only returned today.

After understanding the upstairs residents, no results showed.

They went to the guardhouse carrying notebooks.

The guard was an elderly man watching short videos on his phone.

Only after several calls did he look up and say, "Hey, what’s up?"

The officer handed over the badge.

Only then did the guard say, "Oh, officer, what’s the matter?"

"We want to know if anyone special passed by last night?"

"Special person?"

The elderly man shook his head and said, "No, just community residents."

Before speaking further, the officer handed over the photos of the two girls found in the registration info:

"Recognize them?"

After a glance, the elderly man quickly replied, "Yes, yes, the two pretty girls from the second floor, very sweet."

"They usually give me a coin when coming home late."

"Since you know them, did you see them yesterday?"

"Not yesterday."

"Did any strangers come by last night?"

"No."

After speaking, he bowed his head and continued watching his phone.

The officer wanted to ask more but gave up the thought.

His interest in short videos might mean he wouldn’t remember seeing strangers.

Soon they left the guardhouse and investigated the grocery store next to it.

But after a round of inquiry, little valuable information emerged.

.....

At five in the morning, smoke filled the Guangling Criminal Investigation meeting room.

Mr. Chen, Director Hou, Jiang An, Qin Feng, and others had rushed back from outside.

They were about to have their first post-case summary meeting.

After a night of on-site investigation and information collection, everyone had made some progress.

At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Chen said, "Thanks for everyone’s hard work."

"Director Hou, Mr. Jiang, and everyone have stayed up all night, I truly apologize."

"Let’s sort out the current case situation for tomorrow’s investigation preparation."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Feng’s phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller display—it’s the Wuhe Police Station director.

Working in criminal investigation for years, everyone knows such moment isn’t good news.

Besides lovers, no one calls at 5 AM.

He furrowed his brows and answered, "Hello?"

"Mr. Qin, it’s bad! A woman’s naked body was found in our district’s river!"

At these words, Qin Feng’s heart suddenly sank.

He asked, "Are you sure it’s real? Not a blow-up doll?"

"Certain!"

"Caller was a fisherman, and our duty officer confirmed it!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng said, "Secure the scene immediately, I’m on my way!"
