Chapter 378 - Another Case (2/2)

Nalan Wuxia divided the crime squad into two teams. One team would stay here and wait for the organ trafficking gang, and the other team would follow them quickly to the scene of the crime.

It was nearly two o’clock in the morning. When they arrived at the scene, the local police station had already put up yellow tape to protect the scene.

The location was a large-scale hardware store. The owner of the store, who was about 50 years old, was shivering and looked pale. It seemed that he was really scared.

Nalan Wuxia and Qin Haodong showed their identities and entered the hardware store, which was filled with the smell of blood. They saw a young man in his 30s lying in a pool of blood with a big opening in his chest. The forensic expert was busy performing the autopsy.

Nalan Wuxia asked, “Where do things stand?”

When the forensic expert looked up and saw that the captain had arrived, he said, “It’s almost same as the previous cases. The technique is basically the same. However, this time, the lung of the victim is missing. The estimated time of death is two hours ago.”

“That bastard!”

Nalan Wuxia scolded angrily. However, she could not lose her senses right now. She turned around and asked the policeman who was on duty, “Who reported it? Who saw the scene first?”

“It was me!”

The boss came, his body trembling.

Nalan Wuxia said, “Don’t be afraid. Tell us about the situation briefly.”

The shopkeeper said, “Today, many relatives from my hometown come to visit me. After dinner, I didn’t have enough rooms to stay at home, so I planned to go to my shop to sleep for the night. When I opened the door, I unexpectedly saw a dead man on the floor. On the floor was nothing but blood, which scared me badly, so I immediately called the police.”

“What about the time? How long has it been?”

The shopkeeper took his cell phone out, looked at it, and said, “About an hour.”

Then, Qin Haodong also checked the scene. He noticed that there was a bright red Invoking Figure Talisman on the floor tiles about half a meter away from the dead man’s head. There was no soul under the Invoking Figure Talisman this time either.

After Nalan Wuxia checked out the situation, she immediately issued an order to check the security monitoring system footage in the store and the area within a 500-meter radius, focusing on the suspects who had showed up two hours ago.

The shopkeeper said, “I have a security monitoring system in the store. In order to prevent thieves, I installed a super high-definition camera with a night vision function.”

Nalan Wuxia said eagerly, “Show us.”

The shopkeeper led Nalan Wuxia and the others to his room and opened the door, only to see that the computer on the desk had been split apart. The mainframe box had been opened, and the hard disk used to store the monitoring video data had been removed. It seemed that the murderer had been prepared to take it.

Suddenly, a technician came over with a notebook. “Captain, I have access to the monitoring website of the Municipal Bureau. I can see the monitoring information of the cameras of the Municipal Bureau at any time. There is just a monitoring point set by us on the opposite side of the hardware store.”

“Let me see the video!”

Nalan Wuxia spoke urgently. Although the monitoring camera of the Municipal Public Security Bureau could only record the outside of the store, they could check whether any suspicious people had passed by.

The technician turned on the computer and retrieved the monitoring storage data from the camera on the opposite side of the hardware store. Soon, the video began to play.

Since the selected time period started at midnight, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the street. In order to save time, Nalan Wuxia told the technician to directly speed up the video ten times.

As they played the video, they saw a shadow flash across the screen.

Qin Haodong’s expression suddenly changed and he cried, “Stop, it’s here! Slow down and replay it!”

When the technician replayed the video, they saw a woman slowly appear. Impressively, it was Fang Yuqi, who had just said goodbye to him.

Fang Yuqi was not deliberate, like she had been during the day. Instead, she was holding a black bag in her hand and she looked flustered as she walked in a hurry. Soon, she disappeared from sight.

Qin Haodong’s mind was preoccupied. What he had been worried about had finally happened. Lu Fei was not the murderer, and Fang Yuqi had appeared near the scene of the crime. Now, it seemed that she was probably the murderer.

Nalan Wuxia was also obviously aware of this. She looked at Qin Haodong and nodded. Then, she turned to her subordinates and said, “The woman is Fang Yuqi, a doctor working at Guangren Hospital. Tell the technical department to check her whereabouts and arrest her immediately.”

Fang Yuqi’s phone number had been put on record in the technical department, so her location was quickly found. About half an hour later, she was taken to the interrogation room of the Criminal Police Unit.

Qin Haodong changed his expression and sat in the interrogation position with Nalan Wuxia.

Fang Yuqi was sitting on an iron stool, her face pale and flustered. Her white long skirt had been torn at several places, and there was still dark red blood on it.

Nalan Wuxia looked at her and said, “Doctor Fang, I didn’t expect that we would meet again here.”

Fang Yuqi just looked at Nalan Wuxia with a complex expression and did not speak.

Nalan Wuxia said, “Tell me what you did about an hour ago.”

“I… I…” After struggling for a while, Fang Yuqi cried, “Officer Nalan, I’m turning myself in!”
