Chapter 313

And the kitchen utensils, after cooking human flesh, even if cleaned, would leave traces.

A murderer who knows how to clean up a scene couldn’t possibly not know this.

There must be some doubts.

Qu Yiling was eating her food, also lost in thought.

At this time.

Liu Mengyan, who was sitting opposite Xiang Qinqin, said: “The girl who reported the crime has a problem.”

“You think so too?”

Xiang Qinqin looked at Liu Mengyan in surprise.

Liu Mengyan nodded and said: “The actual time of this case, according to the girl’s statement, should have been two months ago.”

“At that time, it was still autumn, the weather was hotter than it is now, so the body would smell and attract many insects.”

“And inside that Hello Kitty, there is a lot of cotton, which can maintain a constant temperature.”

“This also provided a certain environment for those insects to eat away the skin and flesh on the surface of the skull, thereby destroying evidence…”

“Just from this point alone, the three men who killed the girl had extraordinary minds.”

“But regardless, there is still no evidence pointing completely to the three men as the murderers.”

“These are all one-sided words from the girl who reported the crime.”

“From these doubts, the girl indeed has a problem.”

When Liu Mengyan was speaking.

Chen Fan appeared behind her with his food and tapped Liu Mengyan on the head with the tip of his chopsticks.

“You three, as forensic practitioners, are actually playing detective here?”

“Aren’t you afraid of Old Liu hearing you and making you write a self-criticism?”

Liu Mengyan covered her head and said: “I’m not playing detective, I’m making reasonable judgments based on the clues of the case.”

“Anyway, I think that girl has a problem.”

Chen Fan said: “Of course that girl has a problem, but that’s not something we should worry about. Do you understand?”

“What we need to do is provide evidence to the police.”

Liu Mengyan nodded obediently: “I know.”

The time reached seven o’clock in the morning.

The cameraman also arrived at the cafeteria on time and started the live stream.

The audience couldn’t wait any longer and were discussing yesterday’s case in the bullet comments.

“Yesterday, for that short moment, someone actually took a screenshot. I really regret clicking on that picture, it’s so disgusting… now seeing rice makes me feel like it’s insects.”

“Damn! Can you stop talking, upstairs? I’m still eating porridge, and with you saying that, I feel like the porridge has all turned into insects.”

“What’s the big deal? We’ve even seen human flesh being cooked. You guys are still too bad at this…”

…

After finishing breakfast.

Peng Xiaoran and Ju Jingyi, as guests, naturally had to go to the observation room.

Qin Ming also wanted to go to the autopsy room with Chen Fan and the others, and have Old Zhou go to the observation room to sit.

But Old Zhou really wouldn’t do it.

“Sitting there is too boring, I’m not going. You old guy, you’re quite good at thinking.”

“You are the forensic doctor with the highest status, if you don’t go sit there, who else is qualified to sit there?”

Old Zhou flattered Qin Ming.

“Then what you said is wrong. Shouldn’t the forensic doctor with the highest status now be Chen Fan?”

Qin Ming said without hesitation.

Old Zhou had originally only intended to fob Qin Ming off; he truly hadn't considered this layer of the matter.

"Even so, your status is higher than mine. In any case, I’m not going; go if you want, or don't."

Old Zhou’s defeatist remarks left Qin Ming with nothing more to say.

In the end, he returned to the observation room.

……

Li Tian sent people to retrieve the girl’s photograph from her school to facilitate the skull superimposition test for Chen Fan and the others.

Holding the photo, Xiang Qinqin looked at the delicate and shy girl in the picture, sighing continuously in her heart.

A girl like this, only in her twenties; her life had just begun.

Yet because of some scum, she ended up in such a state. It is too tragic.

The audience felt the same way upon seeing this photo.

"This girl looks quite cute. Those bastards were actually able to lay a hand on her; they're perverts!"

"There are so many perverts in this society. Her encountering such a thing is already a settled fact, there's no way to change it. I only hope now that our country becomes increasingly powerful and the people increasingly prosperous, so we can fundamentally prevent the emergence of such perverts."

"I agree, but many perverts are born that way; there is something in their genes that is different from ordinary people."

"This is why, since ancient times, the relatives of some criminals have been unable to hold official positions."

"Right, such scum don't deserve to have descendants. They should spend their whole lives paying for the sins they have committed."

……

Chen Fan and his team were unaware of what the audience was discussing.

Chen Fan took the photo from Xiang Qinqin’s hand, picked up the photo of the skull, and had them aligned.

After comparison.

A conclusion could finally be drawn.

"This skull is indeed this girl's."

Chen Fan said.

Now that the victim's identity was confirmed, the next step was to capture the murderers.

The first to be captured, naturally, was the owner of that property.

According to the reporting girl's account, that house belonged to one of the three boys.

But when Li Tian went to make the arrest, the result was not good.

The news received was:

This family had already immigrated abroad a month ago.

If an arrest were to be carried out, it would require the cooperation of the police in that country.

In this way, the time to solve the case would inevitably be extended.

Besides this person.

Of the other two boys, one had gone to another country, and one had gone missing.

Nothing was gained.

This undoubtedly dealt a blow to everyone's confidence.

Especially the audience watching the live stream.

"I see these criminals, they ran away early because they were afraid their actions would be exposed sooner or later."

"Really, why didn't this girl come to report it sooner? That way, these criminals could have been caught."

"If I were this girl, even if I turned into a vengeful spirit after death, I wouldn't let them go."

"As a fellow forensic practitioner, although we use the latest technology in many methods, many cases still become cold cases. I find it quite sad. If we want to truly eradicate criminals, the judicial system still has a long way to go."

……

Because the three men mentioned by the reporting girl could not be found, the case once again reached a stalemate.

But Chen Fan had found the girl who reported the crime.

He did not let the cameraman follow.

Seeing Chen Fan enter, the girl’s eyes dodged involuntarily.

"Before coming to report the crime, you should have watched my live stream, right?"

Chen Fan asked.

This wasn't because Chen Fan was confident, but because the girl’s behavior had led him to discover this.
