Chapter 208 - 208 Another Murder
208 Another Murder
“Brother, aren’t you concerned about your relationship status?” Zou Sheng leaned over and tried asking again.
Meng Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him seriously. “Do you like Dr. Shen?”
“Me? How could I?” Zou Sheng thought it was a huge joke. He could not help but wrap his arms around Meng Heng’s shoulder and smile. “You’re still too young to understand. My liking is different from yours. Mine is called admiration.”
He rubbed the stubble on his chin and imagined the beautiful Dr. Shen standing in front of him. He could not help but say, “Who doesn’t like beautiful women? But I don’t have any dirty thoughts. I purely admire beautiful women!”
Meng Heng sneered and continued walking, not letting Zou Sheng continue leaning on him.
Without something to support him, Zou Sheng lost his balance and almost fell over. He immediately scolded angrily, “Brat, I’m doing this for your own good! How dare you give me a hard time!”
The two of them bantered as they went to the police station to settle official business. Shen Yin returned to the office and repeatedly looked at the photos of the corpse.
Zheng Ling gnawed on an apple as she moved closer to Shen Yin’s computer. When she saw the autopsy video on it, she almost spat out the apple in her mouth. She pointed at the computer screen in a daze and said, “Boss, why are you looking at the autopsy replay?”
“I wanted to see if I missed any details.” Shen Yin stretched her sore back. She finally tore her eyes from the bloody video and moved to Zheng Ling. “Aren’t you busy this morning? Are there any other cases?”
“Just minor cases, not like the major case you’re handling.” Zheng Ling leaned on the table curiously and asked, “Sister, did that kind of thing happen to the old lady?”
She spoke rather discreetly. Although she was a forensic pathologist, she was still an inexperienced young woman and was too embarrassed to mention “sexual assault”.
Shen Yin understood her question and shook her head. “No, the victim’s lower body was not assaulted at all. The murderer just took off her pants and put her in that position.”
“I see.” Zheng Ling heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She brought Shen Yin an apple that had been washed. “Boss, you should eat more fruits and remember your vitamins. We forensic pathologist do physical work. We must have proper nutrition.”
“You’re quite particular about health.” Shen Yin took the apple and took a bite. Then, she took some snacks from her drawer and gave her some. She smiled and said, “Do you want to go out for lunch together? It’s my treat.”
“Sure! Of course!” Zheng Ling happily chewed on the apple, her cheeks bulging like a hamster that was stuffed with food.
The two of them were discussing what to eat for lunch when someone knocked on the office door.
Shen Yin looked up and saw Wu Zheng standing at the door with a solemn expression. He said in a deep voice, “Dr. Shen, sorry to disturb you. I’m afraid you have to follow me to the crime scene again. There’s been another murder.”
Shen Yin gathered her equipment and followed Wu Zheng to the back alley of a bar in the Chengxi. The police officers who had arrived at the scene before them had already cordoned off the area
When Shen Yin and the others got out of the car, they were surprised to see a familiar figure outside the cordon.
The moment that person saw Shen Yin, she immediately rushed over like a madwoman and tried to slap Shen Yin. Fortunately, Wu Zheng stopped her in time. If her blow had landed, Shen Yin’s fair and tender skin would definitely be swollen.
“Are you crazy?” Shen Yin frowned and glared at the shrewish Shen Luo.
Shen Luo had changed drastically since their last meeting. At first glance, she looked like an uneducated woman who had let herself go for a long time. Her face was covered with thick makeup, her clothes were very revealing, and the choking scent of perfume wafted from her. She was a completely different person from the previous times they met.
“I’m crazy? It’s all your fault! You jinx, if it weren’t for you, would I be in this state?” Shen Luo tried to rush over and fight Shen Yin, but Wu Zheng grabbed her arm and she could not break free. She was forced to resentfully put down her hand and stare at Shen Yin fiercely. “Just you wait. I definitely won’t let you off!”
Shen Yin frowned slightly, not knowing why she had suddenly become like this.
However, her impression of Shen Luo was that the latter was always illogical, so Shen Yin ignored her. She pulled aside the cordon before entering to take a look at the corpse that had appeared this time.
The alley behind the bar was often used to store trash. Not only did it smell bad, maggots crawled on the ground from time to time. People did not usually frequent this area.
The police officers at the crime scene led Shen Yin and Wu Zheng to a trash can in the back alley. Only then did they clearly see the victim’s appearance.
At first glance, the victim was only about 24 years old. She had died a tragic death. Her clothes had been stripped off, and there were injuries caused by repeated blows to her head. Most importantly, there was a pair of female stockings wrapped around the victim’s neck.
