Chapter 534: I Never Expected You to Be That Kind of Person

Three criminal cases in one day; this case‑solving efficiency is unmatched.

Especially, two of them were Headless Unsolved Cases that had been delayed for several years, and the difficulty of solving them was extraordinarily high.

Because those two cases were cracked, the Police Station's clearance rate jumped straight to one hundred percent.

All the officers at the Police Station basked in Xu Mo's glory, each receiving the honor— a clearance rate of one hundred percent!

The matter even alerted the superiors, who were pondering how to reward Han Fei, Xu Mo, and all the other officers.

After all, they solved three criminal cases in a single day!

Indeed, every officer's clearance rate reached one hundred percent!

It would be impossible not to reward them.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening.

Another case arrived.

Han Fei received a call from a Porn Appraisal Officer.

"Han Team, I have a discovery!"

"While handling my work just now, I saw a girl in a video, and that girl… seemed not to be alive."

"Not alive? Could you have mis‑seen it?" At first, Han Fei was a bit skeptical.

The Police Station has a dedicated department, overseen by Porn Appraisal Masters, commonly known as Porn Appraisal Masters.

These officers' job is to watch irregular videos daily and identify them.

Logically, such videos should not contain dead people, so Han Fei harbored a slight doubt, thinking the other party had mis‑seen.

"Impossible. I watched it over and over dozens of times; there's no mistake. The girl in the video truly looks like a corpse; a living person wouldn't behave like that."

"The IP that uploaded this video is in Yangcheng, and it was uploaded yesterday. I'll send you the video to look at."

Moments later, Han Fei received a video.

He had just finished showering and was about to sleep, but after receiving the video, Han Fei immediately put on his clothes, left the bedroom, went to the sofa, lowered the volume, and began watching the video.

Han Fei's attention was fixed on the girl in the video; after careful examination, his brows tightened into a frown.

As a veteran officer, Han Fei possessed extensive criminal investigation experience and also noticed something off about the girl in the video.

As the Porn Appraisal Officer said, the girl in the video indeed resembled a corpse; her body was extremely rigid, she made no sound, and her breathing was invisible.

Han Fei, who had been drowsy, instantly perked up.

Although it was now rest time, in their line of work there is no absolute downtime; a case demands an immediate dispatch.

Han Fei immediately sent the video to Xu Mo, fearing his judgment might be wrong and wanting the professional Xu Mo to take a look.

The moment the video was sent, before Han Fei could type an explanation, Xu Mo's question marks appeared.

Xu Mo: "?"

"Han Team, you sending me this isn't great, does your sister‑in‑law know you like watching this stuff?"

Han Fei, being an older man and slow at typing, simply gave up typing and directly gave Xu Mo a WeChat call.

When the call connected, Han Fei explained: "What's up! Where are you going with this? The video I sent you was just sent to me by a Porn Appraisal Master. He said the girl in the video seemed not to be alive. Crucially, the video's upload IP is in Yangcheng, uploaded yesterday. I glanced at it and felt the girl seemed off, so I sent it to you for a look. Aren't you a forensic examiner? Check if there's something wrong with the girl in the video."

"You should have said earlier. I was wondering why you suddenly sent this video over. Hold on, I'll take a look."

During the WeChat call, the video wouldn't open, so Xu Mo simply hung up, grabbed a headset, curled up in a corner of the sofa, and opened the video.

As a professional, Xu Mo opened the video, glanced at it, and immediately concluded the girl was a corpse, because he saw a faint livor mortis spot on her calf.

Livor mortis typically appears two to four hours after death, most often in the lowest parts of the body.

Preliminary assessment: the girl in the video had been dead for some time, at least over two hours.

Additionally, there is Rigor Mortis, which usually begins one to three hours after death, spreads to the whole body in four to six hours, reaches maximum stiffness at twelve to sixteen hours, but after twenty‑four hours it eases, meaning the rigidity lessens and muscles soften again.

Combining these, Xu Mo judged that the female corpse in the video had died roughly twelve to sixteen hours ago.

At that moment, Yang Jingxuan, who was watching TV on the sofa, noticed Xu Mo's odd behavior.

The drama was going well—why did he suddenly put on headphones and crawl to the far edge of the sofa? What is Xu Mo watching? He's so absorbed.

Thinking this, Yang Jingxuan tiptoed over to Xu Mo's side, quietly glanced at his phone screen.

She discovered… Xu Mo was actually watching that kind of video!!!

"You want to die! Why are you so close? Do you walk silently?" Xu Mo jumped in fright.

"Who said I walk silently? It's you who's too engrossed, okay!"

"Did you see the video that was just playing on my phone??"

"Hmm! Who would have thought, Xu Mo, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're actually this kind of person…" Yang Jingxuan squinted, a look as if she saw right through Xu Mo.

Xu Mo: "…"

"It's not what you think. Let me explain… never mind, I don't have time to explain, I'm stepping out for a bit."

With the case urgent, Xu Mo simply didn't bother to explain, called Han Fei while putting on his shoes, and prepared to leave.

"Han Team, I've watched the video. The girl in it is indeed not alive; there's livor mortis on her leg, and the time of death is roughly twelve to ten hours before the video was recorded."

The video's upload IP is in Yangcheng, and it was uploaded yesterday, so they should be the ones to investigate.

"Really dead? Fine… got it, I'm heading out now." Saying that, Han Fei ended the call and simultaneously sent a message in the work group, summoning all officers back.

The work group instantly erupted in a flurry of messages.

"Another case?"

"Good thing I wasn't asleep, otherwise I'd have missed it."

"I'm already out; it's ten fifteen now, and there's a little over an hour until midnight. Do you think we can wrap this case up before twelve?"

"I think we can, with Team Leader Xu around, anything is possible!"

"Good guys, doesn't that mean our Police Station solved four criminal cases in one day?"
