Chapter 437: Don

Old Song seemed truly angry; as soon as the on-site investigation ended, he dragged Chen Fan straight to the police station.

Inside, they saw several women dozing on chairs, their winter attire shockingly revealing.

Their hair was dyed yellow.

They reeked of alcohol.

This scene stirred the livestream audience, overwhelming countless viewers with heavy dread.

Chen Fan waved a balloon near one woman, who immediately woke up and stared at him.

"You're Chen Fan."

"Yes. If you answer me honestly, I won't test you."

"Okay okay okay, ask."

Chen Fan said: "Do you have a best friend?"

The girl said: "I do, but which kind do you mean?"

"A virgin."

? 》？？？？

The girl stared blankly: "You want me to introduce you?"

Chen Fan said: "I'm asking you—if someone close to you, your best friend, was like this, would you protect her or betray her?"

"Isn't that just showing off? What's the point? I don't have one. If anyone tells me this, I look down on them—I'd get someone to seduce her. Honestly, it's easy to snag a handsome guy."

"Would you have someone rape her?"

The woman said: "Hmm, maybe, maybe not. Why are you asking this?"

Chen Fan said: "Nothing. A case came up—someone dismembered their best friend, apparently over rape…"

Oh my god.

The woman snapped awake: "I think… I think I know who it is…"

Old Song widened his eyes: "You know?"

"I don't know about the dismemberment, but I know about this incident. Back then, the guy in 083 went to jail, but the woman didn't. He took all the blame. This case was famous in our circle. What was her name again…"

Old Song showed a photo. The woman looked and said: "Yes yes yes, that's her—that's the one. Her family had connections, hired lawyers. The guy's still in prison…"

"Do you know her best friend?"

"I don't know her, but I know who the raped girl was. I've seen her."

Chen Fan said: "Alright, describe her. I'll draw."

The woman described, Chen Fan sketched slowly, and soon a woman's face appeared on the board. Old Song immediately ordered people to investigate her.

After finishing the drawing, the girl asked Chen Fan: "Does this count as helping the case?"

Chen Fan took one of her hairs: "Are you sure you didn't break any laws?"

The girl fidgeted, avoiding Chen Fan's gaze.

"Just kidding. You didn't break any laws…"

The girl froze: "Huh? Really?"

"This doesn't count as a drug test, but if you're running illegal operations, that's illegal. Still, telling you to turn good now isn't realistic, right?"

The girl stayed silent.

Chen Fan placed his hand on her head: "Don't blame yourself. Acting like this isn't your fault—you just met the wrong people. There's no need to still like him or feel resentful."

The girl's tears spilled over.

Outside, the others came out and saw Chen Fan.

Chen Fan briefly explained. They agreed not to press charges, settled the matter, and the girl was released.

"Let's take a photo. Can't let your help go unpaid, bro."

"Really?"

"Relax. With my photo, won't you easily score girls?"

The man grinned, nodded, took a photo with Chen Fan, then walked out.

The girl clutched her hair, standing frozen, unsure what to do.

Qu Yiling handed her a coat: "Put this on. It's cold."

The girl looked at the group.

Old Song sighed: "Hard to find. Just one photo… this girl doesn't have many social connections."

The girl said: "I can help you find her…"

Chen Fan and Old Song looked at her: "How?"

"Easy. I've got tons of group chats from our outings. I can do it."

The girl immediately sent the photo with some messages.

Soon, the photo spread widely, then was identified, and the woman's contact info was obtained.

Contact info found, location locked, person's whereabouts confirmed.

Old Song and Chen Fan went straight to arrest her.

But when they arrived, they found the woman had already left.

Damn. This case just got harder.

Old Song said: "Chen Fan, later, thank that girl for me."

"Not that I'm saying it, but you know a captain—she'll be safer now. You understand better than I do."

"Yes, I get it. Don't worry—I'll make a call. Some girls like her can still be saved. I'll send people to arrest her. You go back. This isn't your job as a forensic expert."

Chen Fan nodded.

He returned to the forensic office with Zhang Tianxiong.

Here, Chen Fan looked at some things on the autopsy table and said, "What are these?"
