After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 298 Are you the murderer?
The moment the suitcase was opened, a chorus of gasps filled the air.

A pungent and unpleasant odor emanated from the suitcase, and an indescribable stench of decay permeated the air.

"It stinks!"

"My God, that's terrifying..."

"vomit--"

The onlookers began to vomit.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips, mentally preparing herself repeatedly, and slowly opened her eyes to look at the suitcase in front of Si Heng.

The body, soaked in water, became pale and swollen. Its skin, which should have been smooth and firm, was full of wrinkles, and its wet hair clung to its skin, making it look horrifying and eerie.

But the scariest thing wasn't the water-soaked corpse, but... that it wasn't a complete corpse!

Her hands and feet were dismembered.

Jiang Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, goosebumps rose on her arms, and her stomach churned. She quickly looked away.

Xiao Xu looked at her and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Yuan nodded. "I'm fine."

"Okay," Xiao Xu said. "Just say what's on your mind, don't try to hide it."

Among the crowd watching outside the cordon, Minmin watched this scene in shock.

Female corpse...

There really is a body?
Does this have anything to do with He Linwen?

Her brows furrowed, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.

At this point, the police began to disperse the crowd and transport the body to the forensic identification center.

**
Police station.

After Si Heng and his group returned, Chen Ziqi immediately stepped forward to report, "Boss, He Linwen is very uncooperative and won't say anything no matter what we ask."

"I understand." Si Heng's eyes were deep, and he said coldly, "Leave him hanging for now, and interrogate him after we confirm the deceased's identity."

Chen Ziqi: "Okay."

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu returned to the police station.

The two of them went to take Fu Xiaoxiao home.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Heng received a notification that the deceased's identity had been confirmed.

The deceased was named Fang Mengyun, 26 years old, unmarried, and currently unemployed.

Si Hengmo frowned: "Contact Fang Mengyun's family and ask them to identify the body as soon as possible."

“Received.” Meng Xiaokai replied immediately.

Si Heng's gaze fell on the interrogation room, and his thin lips moved slightly. "Xiao Xu, go to the interrogation room."

"Received." Xiao Xu quickly grabbed his notebook and hurried after him.

He Linwen's handcuffed hands were clasped together, his forehead pressed against his chest, his face ashen.

He thought he had done everything perfectly, but he never expected to be discovered so quickly...

The interrogation room door was pushed open from the outside.

He Linwen looked up for a moment, then looked down again.

"What's your name?" Si Heng asked calmly.

"He Linwen".

What is your relationship with Fang Mengyun?

A hint of surprise flashed in He Linwen's eyes, amazed by the speed at which the police handled the case.

So that's how they found out Fang Mengyun's identity?
He frowned, then slowly looked up at Si Heng. "Fang Mengyun is my ex-girlfriend."

"Ex-girlfriend?" Si Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. "When did you break up?" He Linwen: "Two months ago."

What was the reason for the breakup?

"The relationship broke down."

"why?"

"Why would there be?" He Linwen raised his hand to adjust his glasses and sneered, "If you don't love someone anymore, you just break up. It's that simple."

Si Heng scrutinized him with a cold gaze, then asked, "When was the last time you contacted Fang Mengyun?"

He Linwen: "When we broke up."

"You two haven't been in contact since the breakup?"

“Anyway, I haven’t contacted her,” He Linwen said. “She does send me WeChat messages frequently, but I haven’t replied.”

Si Heng asked, "Didn't your relationship break down? Why does she still send you WeChat messages frequently after the breakup?"

"I don't know." He Linwen shrugged. "You'd have to ask her. How would I know?"

After saying that, he sighed regretfully, "But she's dead now, so there's no way to ask her. What a pity."

Jiang Yuan stood in front of the one-way glass, looking into the interrogation room. She couldn't detect any regret in He Linwen's words, but rather a hint of mockery and ridicule.

"How do you know she's dead?" Si Heng said in a deep voice. "I don't think I told you whether Fang Mengyun is alive or dead."

He Linwen's expression stiffened, and he forced a smile as he explained, "Of course it was my analysis. You guys inexplicably accused me of dumping a body at the bottom of the lake, and now you're asking about my relationship with Fang Mengyun. If she's not dead, then who is?"

"A body was dumped at the bottom of the lake?" Si Heng's gaze was piercing, his tone serious. "When did I tell you the body was at the bottom of the lake? When the police retrieved the body, you had already been taken away from the scene. How did you know the murderer dumped the body at the bottom of the lake? Or are you the murderer?"

He Linwen nervously pursed his lips, clenched his hands tightly on the table, then released them a few seconds later and adjusted his glasses.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I saw it on my phone; it's all over WeChat groups."

"Is that so?" Si Heng said with a half-smile, "Open the WeChat group you saw where the body was dumped at the bottom of the lake."

He Linwen met his gaze through his glasses and slowly nodded: "Okay."

He picked up his phone, pressed the lock screen button to turn it off, and said with a regretful expression, "I'm sorry, officer, my phone is out of battery."

"Out of battery?" Si Heng stood up, walked over to him, and beckoned him with his hand. "Give me your phone."

He Linwen tapped the screen, trying to prove, "It really is out of power."

Si Heng reached out and grabbed his phone, then pressed and held the lock screen button. The screen quickly lit up, showing that there was still 55% battery remaining.

"Isn't there electricity? Why are you lying?"

He Linwen's back was stiff, and his face was ashen as he remained silent.

Si Heng tossed the phone back in front of him. "Open that message about a body being dumped at the bottom of the lake and let me see it."

He Linwen remained silent and did not move.

After about several tens of seconds, he reached for his phone, tapped the screen a few times, and said apologetically, "Sorry, officer, I accidentally deleted the group chat history."

Si Heng placed his hands on the table, leaned over and stared at him, his deep black eyes as sharp as a hawk's, extremely oppressive. "He Linwen, confessing the truth is your only way out now."

"What?" He Linwen looked confused. "Officer, I really don't understand what you're talking about. I was just eating barbecue and suddenly you're saying I disposed of a body, bringing me here and asking me all sorts of questions. My mind is completely blank."

"Think it over carefully." Si Heng straightened up, glanced at him indifferently, and turned to leave the interrogation room.

Xiao Xu also left with his laptop.

She bumped into Jiang Yuan, who was coming out of another door, and whispered, "This guy is too difficult to deal with."

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan frowned. “I was observing his expression the whole time, and I didn’t see a hint of fear on his face.”

“Yes.” Xiao Xu nodded. “That’s what’s scary.”

The group returned to the conference room to discuss the case when they suddenly heard a piercing scream, followed by painful cries.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan was startled, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Sitting next to her, Xiao Xu explained softly, "It's probably the deceased's family who have arrived."
