I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 278 is far-fetched? A lapse in concentration! A coincidence? Where's the evidence?
Little did they know that once they left, they would never return.

Simultaneously.

The clean and tidy room also told Nan Shu that Wei Jiahui's room was not the primary crime scene.

Identifying the deceased is only the first step.

The police immediately launched an investigation into Wei Jiahui's network of relationships, starting with the people around her. However, after questioning everyone, they found nothing unusual.

Wei Jiahui left her hometown, claiming she was going to stay with relatives, but in reality, she wasn't very familiar with them and had a very simple social circle.

After ruling out the possibility of the crime being committed by someone known to the victim, the police investigation shifted its focus to random acts.

Anything with the word 'random' becomes even more uncertain, especially in those days when there was no surveillance and investigations relied entirely on inquiries. After more than half a month of investigations, nothing was found. On the contrary, online, a series of speculations and analyses began regarding Wei Jiahui's death.

Based on the method of dismemberment, many people speculated that the murderer might be a doctor or a butcher, and of course, the police had also secretly investigated all of them.

However, due to the scarcity of clues and the impossibility of sending people to inquire about all the doctors and related professionals in the city, the task force was disbanded after three months.

After reading the file, Nan Shu let out a deep breath. In fact, in her previous life, there was also a dismemberment case in her world.

Therefore, Nan Shu knew very well that the longer the time went on, the lower the probability of solving the case would be. In particular, the files did not mention the first crime scene at all. In other words, apart from the victim and the unique dismemberment method, there were almost no clues related to the murderer.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, so you and Captain Nan suspect Chen Ming?"

Close the file.

Nan Shu looked up at Xu Yunli.

"Hmm." Xu Yunli pushed the teacup towards her. "Be careful, it's hot."

"No wonder..."

She said, "Why would the South team suddenly ask such a strange question?"

Nan Shu thanked them, put the file aside, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.

"We've changed to a different tea today, what do you think?"

Xu Yunli sat down and gazed at her.

Nan Shu felt that she was no different from Team Leader Nan, so after thinking for a moment, she replied with two words: "Delicious."

Xu Yunli's smile deepened.

"As long as you like it."

"There are photos of dismembered bodies in the files. Do you think... the methods are similar?"

in fact.

Xu Yunli shouldn't have discussed this issue with Nan Shu, after all, she was just an ordinary person who had only read a few suspense novels and could understand animal speech.

In her persona, there's no forensic medicine aspect to her character!

Having spent so much time in the branch office, the warm and comfortable atmosphere made Nan Shu forget about having a persona. With a cup of tea and a chat with Xiao Tian, ​​her guard was completely down.

He leaned back in his chair, holding his teacup, and picked up the photo with his other hand.

Even though it's a black and white photo, the details are incredibly clear. Even if an ordinary person isn't afraid, they would never be as relaxed and calm as Nan Shu, as if she were looking at an ordinary landscape photo.

"The method was indeed very sophisticated, and the online suspicion that the murderer might be a professional is consistent with the reasoning. But to suspect Chen Ming based solely on this point is... far-fetched."

Xu Yunli looked at her expression. Perhaps the girl herself didn't realize that every time she analyzed something seriously, her eyebrows would change with her emotions.

Very...cute.

Are there any other clues?

Nan Shu put the photo down and turned to look at him.

He was taken aback when he met a pair of fox-like eyes brimming with laughter.

Perhaps due to spending so much time in the dissection room, Xu Yunli has fair skin, and his fox-like eyes give off an indescribable aloofness when he's not smiling.

But whenever she smiled, the corners of her eyes seemed to have tiny hooks, which made Nan Shu momentarily lose her focus.

"Ali."

The office door was pushed open. The romantic atmosphere inside vanished instantly, Xu Yunli's smile disappeared, and she glanced at him indifferently.

Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?

Nan Punian was not surprised to see Nan Shu there. It was as if the two of them had agreed beforehand that Nan Punian would examine people while Xu Yunli would answer Nan Shu's questions.

Nan Punian didn't think there was anything wrong with the arrangement, but when he saw the little girl's cheeks were flushed, whether from the heat or something else, Nan Punian felt that something was not quite right.

He pulled out a chair, plopped down next to Nan Shu, and glanced at the files on the table. "Well? Finished?"

"No…"

Xu Yunli lowered his eyes, fiddling with the tea set, his tone indifferent.

This is just one case, and we haven't even finished talking about it after half an hour?

That's so slow and indecisive!
Nan Punian gave Xu Yunli a disdainful look, then glanced at the tea set, thinking that all he knew was to put together some fancy and frivolous things.

Where were we?

Nan Punian turned his head to look at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu coughed lightly, recalling the last time she was deceived by appearances, it was Wei Yue's sudden, unannounced attack.

She cursed inwardly, realizing she'd been completely brainwashed by Sister D's recent "love talk"!

Why suspect Chen Ming?

Nan Shu whispered, lowered her head, and drank the tea in one gulp.

next moment.

A slender hand pushed the freshly brewed teacup towards them.

Nan Shu put down her empty cup, thanked him softly, and picked it up without looking up.

Seeing this, Nan Punian didn't think much of it. He naturally reached out, picked up another cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

He smacked his lips.

"This tastes good, better than last time."

Xu Yunli: ...

"Why suspect Chen Ming... because back then, Chen Ming's 'One Duck, Eight Ways' restaurant was located right at the entrance of the residential complex where Wei Jiahui rented a room."

Nan Shu was taken aback and looked up at Nan Punian.

"Surprised, aren't you? We were surprised too when we first discovered this information."

When the case was brought up, Nan Punian immediately composed himself and frowned, saying, "In the past two days, we have reviewed the police's interview records from back then, and Chen Ming's name was not among the people we questioned at the time."

"There was a female employee who used to work at the store who was quite familiar with Wei Jiahui and could chat with her when they met. The female employee was also questioned and there was nothing unusual. As for Chen Ming, the owner of the duck shop, perhaps because of his quiet and taciturn personality and his tendency to keep to himself, he was not included in the investigation from the beginning."

after all.

At that time, the street outside the residential area where Wei Jiahui lived was full of restaurants, with nearly a thousand employees and owners.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable that Chen Ming, who had hardly spoken to the deceased, was not formally summoned to the police station for questioning.

But it's different now.

Chen Cheng's case, with its similar dismemberment method, the father-son relationship between the two, and Chen Ming's disappearance in the original dismemberment case...

In criminal investigations, there are too many coincidences to describe them as mere coincidences.

only…

"Twenty years have passed, is it still possible to find evidence?"

Nan Shu frowned.

This is the most difficult part of the case. Even if Chen Ming is indeed the murderer, it will be difficult to arrest him if the chain of evidence is insufficient.
