Chapter 70 - 70 Hidden Truth
70 Hidden Truth
“What’s wrong? Are you in danger?” Bai Luo knew that Captain Chen had originally objected to Yin Tao going with them. It was only because Captain Feng had promised to take care of Yin Tao that Captain Chen had allowed them to take some risks.
“I can’t explain it in a few sentences. Anyway, it’s nothing. Don’t worry.” Yin Tao took a cup of water from the dispenser and felt that what happened last night was a little surreal.
“Sigh, it has been chaotic at the station. We have so many cases on our hands, and the Wei Corporation is still pressuring us. Captain Chen is reaching breaking point.” Bai Luo had just returned to rest for a while. The case meeting last night only ended in the wee hours of the morning.
“Wei Corporation?” Yin Tao knew that there was still no progress in Wei Feng’s case, but she didn’t expect the Wei Family to pressure the police.
“That’s right. President Wei has brought his daughter, Wei Jie, to the police station several times. It was Chief Wang who came forward to comfort her each time, but I don’t think he can last long.” Bai Luo felt sorry for the Chief. He, more than anyone else, would like to solve the case as soon as possible, but he couldn’t find any useful clues. It was useless being anxious.
“It can’t be helped. We can’t find the exact source of the drug found in Wei Feng and Li Chao’s bodies. There are no clues at the crime scene. The surveillance cameras haven’t captured the suspect, and there were no eyewitnesses. It won’t be easy for anyone to solve this case.” Yin Tao felt that the person who kidnapped Feng Jing and his brother in the original novel was very suspicious.
However, Feng Jing hadn’t solved his brother’s case yet, so Wei Feng’s case couldn’t be solved easily.
“That’s right, but we also understand how the family feels. The Wei Corporation is also secretly investigating this case, but they also found nothing.” Bai Luo actually felt sorry about Wei Feng’s murder. After all, with his family background, if nothing unexpected happened, he would have had a bright future.
“If the Wei Corporation can’t find any clues, it can only mean that the murderer is not any less resourceful than the Wei Corporation.” Yin Tao analyzed the suspicious aristocratic families. However, before she transmigrated, she didn’t pay much attention to the corporations in the novel. Her focus was on the love-hate relationships between the male and female leads.
“Although the Wei Corporation is very wealthy, there are still many people in City A who are more powerful and resourceful than them. If we include people from other cities, the scope will be even larger.” Bai Luo felt that this case would probably drag on, so it was also important to appease the Wei family for now.
“Any new development in the dismemberment case? Is there anything suspicious about that hooligan, Zhou Nan?” Through her experience in the black market last night, Yin Tao felt that this dismemberment case must be related to the black market.
“The victims of the dismemberment case have all been identified and their families have been informed. That Zhou Nan is still in remand. He’s very tight-lipped and we can’t get any special evidence from him.” Bai Luo had been busy taking statements from the victims’ families recently. However, the times of death of these victims was too varied. Some of them had been missing for more than half a year.
“Do these seventeen victims have anything in common?”
When Yin Tao was investigating the case with Feng Jing, they found a crime fiction in Sun Peng’s rented room. The state of these body parts was very similar to the murder cases in the novel, so Feng Jing and Yin Tao suspected that Sun Peng had imitated the crime after reading the novel.
However, Sun Peng didn’t have enough time to commit the crime. Yin Tao felt that Sun Peng wasn’t the only one responsible for all the body parts.
“Apart from what was stated in your autopsy reports, the fact that there wasn’t any blood in the blood vessels of the mutilated corpses, the victims’ were all rather down and out. They belong to the bottom rung of society. Except He Xuan, the four-year-old boy, he’s a little better. However, his mother is a single parent and they weren’t considered wealthy either.”
Bai Luo had been handling the dismemberment case recently. Although there had been some progress in the case, she could sense that there was probably something sinister lurking behind.
“We can only start with the black market, but this also means that the case won’t be closed soon.” Yin Tao knew that it wouldn’t be easy to crack the black market. Otherwise, the informant planted by the police wouldn’t have had to be undercover there for more than a year.
“That’s right. We can only pray that there won’t be any new cases.” Just as Bai Luo finished speaking, the cell phone in her pocket rang.
Yin Tao helplessly smiled as she watched Bai Luo pick up the call. She felt that what she was worried about might have already happened.
“Master, I’m in the dormitory.” Bai Luo’s expression was a little heavy. When she heard Captain Chen’s voice on the cell phone, she was extremely nervous. “Okay, Master, I’ll be there immediately!”
After the call ended, Yin Tao asked Bai Luo, “What’s wrong? Is there a new case?”
