Chapter 17 Speculation on the Killer's Gender

"Is the fat under Brother Li's place the three corpses? We'll find out if we dig it up."

Feng Nan said in a deliberately profound tone.

Feng Nan thought to himself: "It's right down here. Dig quickly! I guarantee that, apart from the murderer, I know the burial site better than anyone else!"

Li Biao was a man of action. Hearing what Feng Nan said, he no longer hesitated and immediately ran out of the abandoned brick kiln and grabbed an iron shovel.

"Xiao Feng, stand further away!"

Li Biao picked up his shovel and started digging.

Feng Nan immediately backed away.

She was afraid that Li Biao would bury her too.

Li Biao wielded a shovel and dug two meters deep. As he swung the shovel to dump the soil, a piece of charred yellow pelvic bone was pulled out with it.

Li Biao was stunned when he saw the complete pelvic bone on the shovel, but Feng Nan was not surprised at all.

This is the place where those four corpses were dug up four years later. It would be strange if they didn't find any corpses here.

"Fuck!"

"There really was a corpse!"

"Xiao Feng, you're amazing!"

Li Biao was completely numb.

I was absolutely shocked.

Feng Nan smiled and reminded him, "Now that Brother Li has dug up the body, he should call for backup quickly."

Li Biao nodded, put down his shovel, and immediately dialed Yueyang's number. He recounted in detail how he and Feng Nan arrived at the scene, how Feng Nan suspected the remaining four bodies were buried in the abandoned brick kiln, and how the two of them discovered the bodies after arriving at the abandoned brick kiln.

"Fuck!"

"There really is a corpse?"

"Xiao Feng, you're amazing!"

Li Biao heard Yueyang's exclamation through his phone receiver.

Feng Nan's lips twitched a few times as she listened, thinking to herself, "No wonder he's my old partner, their compliments are so perfectly in sync..."

Li Biao hung up the phone: "Xiao Feng, let's go outside and wait. To preserve the integrity of the remains as much as possible, the technical investigation team will come over later to continue the excavation."

Feng Nan nodded, offering no objection.

Facing several skeletons, she felt a chill run down her spine.

If Li Biao hadn't been with her, she would never have dared to dig up the body by herself.

After leaving the abandoned brick kiln, Li Biao squatted on the ground and smoked, while Feng Nan returned to the police car and looked through her notes.

The breakthrough in this case is not the thirteen skeletons unearthed in this timeline, but the murder of Nango that occurred four years later.

In this case, a total of fourteen people died, of whom only Nango was a woman.

The other thirteen skeletons were all identified as male, ranging in age from eighteen to seventy.

This point also caused Yueyang and his team to take many detours during their investigation.

Even four years later, after Yue Yang's sacrifice and Li Biao's appointment as head of the Major Crimes Unit to reopen the case, the internal debate over whether the killer was male or female continued. The clues Feng Nan gathered from the future chat group detailed the opposing viewpoints. After reading them, Feng Nan was also completely bewildered, even questioning whether the killer she had identified was truly the culprit.

Both sides have their own valid points, and each has a degree of truth to it.

It's no wonder that Yue Yang and Li Biao, these two veteran criminal investigators, were also caught up in it and unable to make a consistent and correct investigative decision.

The detective, who believed the killer was a man, had a simple argument: no woman could kill thirteen men of varying ages in a row.

The detectives who disagreed focused on the motive, believing that the perpetrator was most likely a woman who had been hurt by these men.

This was a premeditated series of revenge killings.

If it weren't for a deep-seated hatred, who would kill thirteen completely unrelated strangers in succession, and then, as if venting their anger, chop off their heads?

In such cases, female perpetrators have an advantage over male perpetrators.

Because a seemingly weak woman is more likely to make male victims lower their guard.

Conversely, if a strange man approaches you in an extremely desolate or secluded place, many people will instinctively become wary.

With such vigilant victims, how could they not resist when the murderer intended to harm them? The forensic doctor conducted tooth wear analysis on all thirteen bodies. Except for one teenager and one man in his seventies who had little fighting ability, the remaining eleven victims were all adults with well-developed skeletons.

An ordinary man, if the other party is on guard, will find it difficult to kill another strong and healthy man if the victim puts up a little resistance.

Conversely, in similar cases, female perpetrators have a greater advantage. They are less likely to arouse the victim's suspicion and are more likely to succeed by using methods such as sneak attacks or seduction.

After reviewing the debate content again, Feng Nan pinched her temples and said, "My head hurts!"

"The most urgent task is to identify the murderer and determine his/her gender."

"The suspect I've identified is a man, but if I can't produce solid evidence to prove his motive for murder, I won't be able to get past the internal dispute between the male and female murderers within the Major Crimes Unit."

Feng Nan closed her laptop, took out her phone again, opened Leisure Town, entered the Future Chat Group, and checked if there were any new messages in the group.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Everyone, does anyone have any new information about the Nango murder case, or the nine corpses and thirteen heads case from four years ago?]

For the first time, Feng Nan realized that the uncles who work in criminal investigation really have it tough.

Even with her superhuman abilities, able to find clues directly from the future, she still found cases like the Nine Corpses and Thirteen Heads case extremely difficult to handle.

Not to mention Yueyang and his team, who didn't have any special abilities and could only rely on investigation, evidence collection, and trial and error to get things done step by step.

Behind every murder case that is solved lies the hard work and dedication of countless criminal investigators, who tirelessly search for clues day and night in monotonous and tedious tasks.

Feng Nan looked out of the car and saw Li Biao squatting on the ground, smoking one cigarette after another. His eyes were full of admiration. He secretly made up his mind to help the Major Crimes Unit catch the murderer so that the Major Crimes Unit could hold its head high in the future, instead of showing guilt whenever the Nine Corpses and Thirteen Heads case was mentioned.

Quack, quack, quack——

Just then, Feng Nan's phone rang.

Feng Nan snapped out of her daze and immediately unlocked her phone to see who had sent her the message.

[Jing Xiaoqi: @Meicai Kourou, great writer, I have a copy of Nan Ge's post on Weibo, which was quickly deleted. Shortly after that, Nan Ge posted a video on a short video platform about reporting the murderer. I think there might be some connection between the two.]

Jing Xiaoqi also posted a screenshot from a Weibo account below the message.

Upon seeing this message, Feng Nan's eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked on the screenshot to examine it carefully.

Solving a case is nothing more than a process of trial and error. Having clues is always better than having none. If you make a mistake, you can simply eliminate a wrong answer.

"Was the murderer gay?"

After a long while, Feng Nan let out a gasp.
