When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1053 Policewoman 135
Inside the meeting room, the police officers who had been working through the night investigating clues were moved to tears as they watched the food delivery person follow Tan You in. They couldn't care less about the case now; their only thought was to eat first.

Old Huang was also holding a box of rice topped with several pieces of pork belly. "This place has good food. It's late at night, so you have to eat something like this."

Xiao Zhang was eating while leaning on the table: "The beef skewers and pork belly skewers that Captain Lu ordered last time were also delicious."

Old Huang glanced at him, then looked at Tan You: "How was your rest?"

Tan You smiled and said, "You rested quite well. Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

"We've confirmed two, the two from the most recent year, both from Y province." Although Old Huang didn't personally handle the case, as the chief supervisor, he was fully aware of all the developments within the task force.

“Song Haiyan, twenty years old, came to stay with a fellow villager. That fellow villager of hers is also on the list of the dead.”

Tan You put down her half-finished soup: "That doesn't make sense. Since her fellow villager is dead, who did Song Haiyan contact? The murderer?"

Xiao Liu: "Many people have this guess. Song Haiyan's family is poor, and she can't afford a mobile phone even though she works. So how Song Haiyan and her fellow villager got in touch is worth investigating."

Shunzi suggested, "Should we write a letter? Or check with the post office?"

Old Huang nodded: "It's not impossible. Then the three of you can investigate this lead."

Koyanagi Shunko and Koji exchanged a glance: "Yes!"

Tan You tapped her fingers on the table: "It's still a bit difficult. The murderer is so meticulous and cautious, could he have disguised his mailing address?"

Old Huang: "That's possible, but let's check it out first. Hopefully, the post office can give us some clues."

To be honest, Tan You wasn't optimistic about this lead. The known perpetrator likely lived in Luoxia District, yet he committed over ten crimes right under everyone's noses without being caught; this person was undeniably cautious.

There's no need for Tan You to say anything discouraging now. With morale so low, giving everyone something to do would only further dampen their spirits.

Have you contacted Song Haiyan's relatives? When will they be coming?

Xiao Zhang is now being used like half a person. He quickly found the information on Song Haiyan's parents: "Their place is in a remote mountain village, and communication is extremely underdeveloped. From what I heard from them, they won't be able to get to the district bureau until the day after tomorrow."

Tan You nodded: "Okay, but we don't have any information on the other identities yet?"

The man with glasses shrugged. "Communication isn't advanced enough right now, and there's no nationwide network, so there won't be any results immediately."

Tan You understood this principle, of course, but she was helpless and could only wait. But did she really have to do nothing? Tan You didn't want to just sit there doing nothing.

She simply picked up the photos taken yesterday and started looking through them one by one.

As she looked at it, Tan You fell into deep thought.

Old Huang poured Tan You a cup of tea: "What's wrong? You've been staring at this photo for almost an hour."

Tan You suddenly put down the photo: "Is Forensic Doctor Yang still at the funeral home? I want to go see the bones."

Old Huang nodded: "They're still here. The Luoxia District Bureau has its own forensic doctors, and Changluo City also sent two forensic doctors. They should be changing shifts and resting by now."

Tan You: "Then let's go to the funeral home. I want to see the bones first."

Old Wu was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open: "Xiao Lu, what did you discover? It's not good to keep people in suspense." "It's not that I'm keeping people in suspense," Tan You hesitated for a moment, then picked out a few photos: "Look at these photos, do you notice anything different?"

Old Wu wiped the sleep from the corner of his eye: "What's the difference? I'm just so sleepy, my eyes are getting blurry."

As the team's most capable officers, Xiao Zhang and Shunzi stared at the photo for a long time and finally figured something out: "There are scratches on the bones here, and the angle is different."

Tan You nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. This is the femur. The murderer probably severed the fascia first, and then removed the bone and flesh. There's no difference in that respect."

"But if you look closely at the scratches on the bone, aren't the angles completely opposite?"

Everyone nodded in agreement when she said that. Old Huang slammed his hand on the table: "Left-handed? There are two murderers?"

Tan You shook her head: "We can't conclude from this that the other person is left-handed, nor can we deduce that there are two murderers. I looked at the photos of the newly unearthed skeletons yesterday, and only this skeleton has this kind of mark, and only on the femur and tibia."

"The same marks are still visible elsewhere."

Old Wu also came to his senses: "So there are two possibilities: either there are two murderers, one of whom is left-handed."

"Either there is one murderer, but the murderer's left hand is just as dexterous as his right."

Tan You nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. There's not much to see in the photos, so I want to go to the autopsy room to see if I can find any more clues."

In the end, almost all the police officers crowded into the autopsy room of the funeral home. They carefully examined the newly unearthed skeleton number seven, and soon discovered the same marks on the lumbar vertebrae, in addition to the thigh and shin bones.

Captain Qian gritted his teeth: "That's still a clue. Let's focus on screening whether anyone's left hand is equally dexterous. Just like Captain Lu said, the murderer may not necessarily be left-handed."

"We must find this pervert!"

No one would object to this suggestion; the point is to stir things up. Only then will those hiding beneath the surface reveal their true colors.

The people in Qian's team got busy. Apart from Tan You and Xiao Zhang, all of Lao Huang's men went out to investigate and visit people. Tan You also met Song Haiyan, who had come from afar, and the parents of her fellow villager Song Haixia at the Luoxia District Bureau.

Although the test results were not yet available, just by looking at the appearances of the two couples and their children's palaces, she knew that numbers 9 and 10 were Song Haixia and Song Haiyan.

It's heartbreaking to see an elderly person outlive their child.

Tan You felt heavy-hearted and didn't want to stay with them any longer, so she made up an excuse to leave the funeral home. Xiao Zhang, with his arm in a sling, walked beside her, also feeling distressed.

The funeral home of Luoxia District Police Station is only 20 minutes away from the station. When Tan You and Xiao Zhang arrived at the station, they saw police officers leading several people into the interrogation room.

Tan You stared at these people for a few moments before turning to Captain Qian: "Are these the ones whose left hands are more dexterous?"

Captain Qian: "Yes, bring him back and ask him. I don't think it's likely."

Tan You narrowed her eyes: "I don't think so either."

She didn't see any signs of cause and effect on these people's faces, so the person they were looking for must not be among them.

Sure enough, two hours later, all the interrogation records were completed, and no one was found to be a suspect. Captain Qian ran his fingers through his hair: "This is tough. We'll continue this afternoon."
