Chapter 599

The audience was discussing as well.

"I think someone else must have tied the boy up; with this kind of binding, if there were no one else, he certainly couldn't have tied himself."

"What? Why would the deceased tie himself up? And hang himself? Was it suicide?"

"Very likely. This way of hanging doesn't look like something someone else did, and Old Li also said there were no traces of anyone else being at the scene. So it must be suicide."

"That doesn't sound right. Although the boy's family wasn't well-off, he was only thirteen. What could make a thirteen-year-old boy, disregarding pain and his parents, hang himself at home? People his age shouldn't be so afraid of pain, right?"

"That's you, isn't it? Someone who truly has scars in their heart won't fear that kind of pain~."

"Is it possible this little boy was just seeking abuse?"

……

Everyone was discussing very intensely, but the strangest thing was the clothes on the little boy.

"Don't you think the strangest thing is the red skirt on the little boy? Our country has said that people who die wearing red skirts will turn into vengeful ghosts after death! This might be a supernatural event."

"Damn, that makes sense. A boy wearing a red skirt, and inside there's a women's one-piece swimsuit, and he even made fake breasts on himself. That's really outrageous. Could he have been possessed by a ghost?"

"Oh my god, I'm alone at home, don't talk nonsense, I'm scared!"

"Luckily it's not night now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be watching this program."

"If it really is a supernatural event, I wonder if Chen Fan can figure it out."

……

The crime scene.

Chen Fan said, "I don't know. Asking me won't help; this is something your police department should investigate."

"I'm just here to perform the autopsy. As for other clues, you have to find them yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Old Song, passing by nearby, couldn't help but laugh.

Li Tian got annoyed, caught Old Song, and said, "What are you laughing at? Chen Fan wasn't just speaking to me; he was speaking to you too."

Old Song shrugged and said, "I didn't call him for this case; you called him."

"Alright, alright. If there's nothing else here, I'll take the body back."

"The current cause of death is asphyxiation, but it's not confirmed yet. I'll perform an autopsy after I return."

Chen Fan said.

Li Tian stopped Chen Fan: "Wait, let's discuss this binding first. Can someone bind themselves like this?"

Chen Fan said, "No need to discuss. I just checked; the single-loop noose on the deceased's hand is very easy to open."

"If someone else had tied him, they would definitely have tied it very tight in that spot, after all, to prevent the deceased from escaping."

"Also, look closely again. The multiple loops of rope around the deceased's body clearly aren't meant to restrain the whole body, but to stabilize himself while hanging from the beam."

"The binding method found on the body is all the same: multiple horizontal wraps and horizontal wraps. This method is quite stable."

Old Song thought for a moment, combined with the clues at the scene, and asked, "So that means it's very likely suicide?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I don't do reasoning like that. I can only tell you these things based on the autopsy results."

"Also, I found some white viscous substance on the deceased's lower body clothes."

Li Tian asked, "Is it semen?"

Chen Fan nodded. "Yes, but I don't know if it belongs to the deceased. I need to run tests after I return."

The bullet comments surged rapidly.

"Damn! Could some old pervert have played with the deceased like this?"

"Didn't the scene show no traces of anyone else entering? This is too eerie. Is it really ghost possession? A female ghost possessing a child's body, then doing that kind of thing?"

"No way. How could something so sinister happen? We still have to believe in science. Besides, no particularly substantial clues have been found yet."

"Regardless, in our country, dying while wearing red clothes is really taboo. It's too terrifying!"

……

After the few of them discussed for a while, Li Tian and Chen Fan went to the deceased's father.

Because the deceased's father was the first witness to the incident, some details still needed verification.

The deceased's father was now sobbing uncontrollably. Seeing Li Tian approach, he noticed Li Tian's police rank was higher.

So he grabbed Li Tian and said, "Officer, I beg you, you must find the murderer who killed my son. He was only thirteen, only in the first year of junior high, with such a bright future ahead."

Li Tian comforted him, "Rest assured, we will definitely find the truth. However, before that, we have some questions to ask you."

"This is our forensic examiner, Mr. Chen Fan. You must answer his questions honestly."

The deceased's father was very cooperative, nodding like a chick pecking rice.

.. 0 0

Chen Fan asked, "Do you have any enemies in the village?"

The man shook his head and answered very seriously, "Our family is very honest in the village. We get along peacefully with everyone. We have no enemies."

Chen Fan asked again, "Before the incident, did you notice anything unusual about your son?"

The man thought for a moment, seemed to recall something, but immediately said, "No. My child has always been very honest. Although his grades at school weren't that good, he never did anything bad. There was nothing unusual at all."

Clearly, the man was lying.

Even without using his ability, Chen Fan saw this. So Chen Fan looked at the man and saw one thing from his heart.

"I must not let my child go down the wrong path. Even though he is already dead, I must protect his reputation."

It seems the deceased did have some unusual behavior before his death.

And it was behavior his father would consider going down the wrong path.

"You need to think carefully. Since you want to find the murderer, you must tell the truth. If you hide anything and delay us from finding clues, it will be your own fault."

Chen Fan warned.

His father hesitated, but after thinking it over, he still shook his head.

"Really not, Officer. Our whole family are honest, decent people."

Chen Fan was now more certain of one thing, but he had to keep pressing: "Fine, then my next question—do you know what your son's favorite thing is?"
