w.a.n.g Ke pushed open the bedroom door,

the door opened,

he saw Zhou Ze lying on the bed, fast asleep. Yingying and Lin Ke were lying on the mat next to the bed, covered by the quilt, and sleeping together.

w.a.n.g Ke didn't go in to disturb them. He closed the door gently, turned around, and went down.

After w.a.n.g Ke left..,

lin Ke immediately opened his eyes. Yingying, who was beside him, also opened her eyes,

the two girls lifted the quilt together and realized that their clothes were pathetically few. They lifted Zhou Ze's quilt and found their clothes hidden inside. They immediately took them out and put them on.

As for Boss Zhou, who was sleeping soundly..,

he did not notice anything,

zhou Ze was indeed tired.

“Why didn't you lock the door?”Bai Yingying said with some dissatisfaction.

“Wouldn't it be more guilty to lock the door?”Lin Ke retorted.

“It's better than this.”

“He's the father of this body of mine.”

“Your father-daughter relations.h.i.+p is really messy.”

After the two girls tidied up, Lin Ke got up, pushed the door open, and walked down.

w.a.n.g Ke was sitting on the first floor reading a book,

lawyer an and old Zhang were standing at the door discussing something. Old Zhang was still holding his cell phone. It seemed that the police station had something to inform him about.

“You're Awake?”

w.a.n.g Ke put down the magazine in his hand and looked at his daughter who was walking down the stairs.

“Yes,”Lin ke replied.

“School is about to start. Have you had enough fun?”w.a.n.g Ke asked.

Lin Ke was stunned when she heard that. “Where's My Mother?”

“I brought her back with me. Her condition is stable now. There won't be any problems for the time being.”w.a.n.g Ke looked around and said, “Are you used to living in the bookstore?”

“I'm quite used to it.”

“Do you still want to continue living there?”

“I'll listen to you.”

“I think it's better to go to school. Don't just think about playing.”

“Okay, I'll move back in two days to go to school.”

w.a.n.g Ke smiled and got up. He walked to Lin Ke's side and wanted to touch his daughter's head, but Lin Ke took a step back and avoided w.a.n.g Ke's hand:

“I'm not a child anymore. I don't have to touch her head all the time.”

w.a.n.g Ke nodded. “My daughter has grown up.”

The conversation between the father and daughter was very simple. w.a.n.g Ke looked at the time and said, “I'll pick you up in two days?”

“Sure.”

“Then I'll leave first.”

“Okay.”

w.a.n.g Ke left and drove off in his car.

Old Zhang also left. It was said that the provincial special task force had called an internal meeting, and all the relevant personnel had to attend. Old Zhang originally did not need to attend because he had already been separated from the special task force because of his previous mistake, but perhaps because he had just provided new information, he was also informed to attend the meeting.

Lawyer an stretched his back. He was already prepared to be an experienced defense lawyer. Based on the evidence he had at hand, he was quite confident.

“Yo, why is your father leaving so quickly?”

Lawyer an teased.

“He came to tell me that school is about to start.”

“He misses his daughter.”

The Little Loli raised her head and looked at lawyer an. In a deep voice, she said, “I know.”

“It's good that you know.”

As she said that..,

lawyer an twisted open his large thermos cup,

he realized that the coffee in the pot was about to run out again,

he sc.r.a.ped the rest,

then..,

lawyer an simply placed the card that he had intended to donate to his boss in the morning on the side.

“You'll feel bad if you keep drinking your expensive coffee for free, won't you?”

It was a pity that boss Zhou was currently in a deep sleep,

if he knew about this when he woke up..,

he would definitely be so happy that he would have a snot bubble.

Zhang Yanfeng returned to the station and went straight into the meeting room. There were many people in the meeting room. After all, it was a big case that involved more than ten lives. Not to mention the province, even the ministry was very concerned about it.

Every detail and progress of this case affected all aspects of the nerves.

Zhang Yanfeng found a seat in the back row and sat down,

he took out his notebook,

he prepared to draw a comic.

It wasn't that Zhang Yanfeng was intentionally slacking off. The main point was that he already knew the ins and outs of this matter. He really didn't have much interest in listening to any more meetings.

In the extremely solemn atmosphere of the entire meeting room,

old Zhang felt like he was a stream of clean water.

“The meeting will now begin. Officer Chen, please inform everyone of the latest developments in the case.”

Officer Chen?

Old Zhang raised his head in surprise,

a female police officer walked forward. Old Zhang Glanced at the other party's police rank. Tsk..

Then he looked at the other party's appearance,

tSK TSK..

Old Zhang closed his notebook and prepared to listen attentively.

It was not that Lao Zhang was daydreaming about other things. His son was about to get married. Although he looked like he was only 30 years old now, he had long pa.s.sed the age where he could not move his legs when he saw a beautiful woman.

Because he had heard of this woman. She was very famous in the provincial department. In the past few years, she had solved many big cases consecutively and gained fame.

It was common for men and women to be unequal in the workplace, even in the police station. However, it was not because of discrimination in the true sense, but because the job of the police was inherently more biased toward men, if women wanted to be the best here, they often needed to do better.

As for the police or other TV series, each task force would have a few female police officers. That was not very realistic. It was a compromise to take care of the audience.

“Everyone, I came a few days late and did not partic.i.p.ate in the preliminary investigation and evidence collection work with everyone. After I came to Tongcheng, I spent two days to integrate the physical evidence and various clues. In the morning, Tongcheng City bureau handed over a very valuable piece of evidence.”

Officer Chen wore a ponytail and stood on the stage valiantly. The projection screen behind him was slowly being pulled open.

“There is one thing I want to say. I took the time to take a look at the crime scene after that. It was destroyed by someone and it is not decent. I hope that the person responsible for this will be held accountable.”

Everyone was silent. To directly pursue responsibility, his temper was really bad.

Old Zhang smiled in his heart. The crime scene was destroyed because the boss and the maid had a fight there.

“After I came, I received news that everyone had basically accepted the fact that the suspect, Lu, was the murderer of this serial murder. The suspect also admitted it after he was arrested, but in the past few days, the suspect has changed his confession.

“I'm not surprised that the suspect would recanted his statement. In fact, it would be really strange if he gritted his teeth and insisted that he was the one who killed the person.”

“Everyone, please look at the picture behind you. This is a picture of the wound on the body of the deceased, Luo. The cause of death of the deceased was excessive blood loss. However, I have personally identified these few wounds. The posterior b.u.t.tocks, calves, arms, and these few places were identified as the result of the kitchen knife used at home.

It was also the kitchen knife that the suspect, Lu, was holding when he was caught at the crime scene.

Everyone, please pay attention to the details of the wounds. Here, I have done a 3D simulation. Everyone, please pay attention to the cutting methods of these few wounds.”

Many of the people present were experienced criminal police officers. At first, they might not think much of it, but when the simulation picture came out, everyone's expressions changed.

“Does everyone feel that the position of the blade and the direction of the cut are very strange?”

Officer Chen made a cutting motion,

“Everyone can do a simulation. Use your palm as the blade and cut a piece of tendon on your calf. Then, simulate it again. If you take a knife and cut a piece of meat on someone else's body, the direction of the blade and the force used are different.

“If only one part is like this, then it might be a coincidence. However, if there are many parts like this, then it can't be described as a coincidence.”

“Officer Chen, what do you mean?”

“Yes, I think that the person who cut off the meat on the victim's body is not the suspect, Lu, but the victim, Luo.”

For a moment, the policemen who were doing the simulation showed shock on their faces.

The victim cut off his own flesh?

“That could also be because the murderer forced him…”a policeman suggested, but as he spoke, he stopped.

The murderer gave the victim a knife and let him cut off his own flesh?

Wouldn't the victim resist?

“There are no traces of being tied up on the victim's body. Be careful, there are no traces at all. This means that the probability of the victim being in a state of freedom before he died is very high.

“In addition, among the physical evidence that was brought back, the blood stains and fingerprints of the deceased were found in the kitchen's seasoning pot and the gas stove.

“It is very normal for the fingerprints of the deceased to be found on the things in the deceased's home. However, other than the knife in the suspect's hand when the police arrived at the scene, none of the other appliances in the kitchen have Lu's fingerprints.

Lu was already holding the knife and waiting for the police to arrive. Moreover, he admitted that he had killed the victim at the beginning. Therefore, there was no need for Lu to clean up the fingerprints here. He had no such motive. Moreover, how did he do it, he simply removed his own fingerprints but kept the victim's fingerprints?

Therefore, I believe that the victim cut off his own flesh and cooked it personally.

Finally, according to the fingerprint test on the refrigerator, found in the inside of both sides of the refrigerator, there are very clear fingerprints of the victim, you can see this picture, I tried to follow the direction of the fingerprint and the details of further processing, from this, we can deduce the victim's movements at the time.

After my inference, the victim was the initiative to enter the refrigerator, and, although we found the suspect Lu's fingerprints on the outside of the refrigerator, we did not find them on the inside.

In the morning, colleagues from the Tongcheng district criminal police unit sent over a new piece of evidence. It was preliminarily confirmed that the dead Xia Chunhua with the serial number F in the nameless body was killed by the victim of this case, Luo, in 2016.

In conclusion, I came to the conclusion that the victim, Luo, was the real murderer of this serial murder case. and the current suspect, Lu, didn't have the motive to kill.

Lu is old, probably because when he returned to the crime scene from Miss Lu's place to look for his phone, he found the dead body. He was mentally stimulated and had hallucinations

“You want us to inform the public that the deceased cut off his own flesh and then used his own flesh to stir-fry vegetables. Then, he would eat and chat with Lu. After Lu has left, the deceased would lie down in the freezer and die?

“Officer Chen, do you think the public will believe such a report? “Will the public believe it? “How should we, the police, explain to the public

“We are police officers, not the foreman at the entrance of the clubhouse.

“We only need to explain to the national emblem above our heads, to the truth that we have discovered!”

Officer Chen turned off the projector and continued:

“Now, I suggest that the prosecution of the suspect, Lu, be dismissed due to insufficient evidence. In this case, Lu may very well be a victim. What did the serial killer trick him into coming to his home for? There's no need to explain too much, right?

“As for us..,

“We locked the real victim in the detention center for such a long time. Lu has already suffered mental damage once. If Lu's condition worsened because of our custody..,

“This is what the police should think of to explain!”
