Incomplete corpses were found when sewage flowed through the filter.

After a long period of soaking and the corrosiveness of the sewage, the body showed a fluorescent pale whiteness.

The forensic department conducted a preliminary autopsy, which can be concluded that the deceased was a female, aged between 25 and 35 years old, and the death time was more than one week.

There is no other significant feature on the body except for a red butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back neck.

Gu Qingtong was one step late, and the car carrying the body bag of the Forensic Department had already driven away. She could not see the true appearance of the deceased with her own eyes.

"Captain Pan, I'm here."

Pan Shaofang was not surprised by her appearance: "Xiao Gu, yesterday we discussed the plan to pray for you to go up the mountain, and today you will stand in front of me with great vitality." He stretched out his arms and slapped Gu Qingtong, "Auspicious people and heavenly appearances, we don't need to ask the Buddha, he will bless you."

Gu Qingtong asked: "Captain Pan, aren't you an atheist?"

Pan Shaofang changed the topic a little awkwardly: "The forensics transported the body away, we took some photos. When you go back later, you will ask Zhong Hao to get the autopsy report, and he promised me to report the results before 3 pm."

Cao Zhe hesitated for a long time and did not dare to come over. He only asked Gu Qingtong from a distance: "Sister Gu, are you going to look at the photos now or go back to see them?"

"Give it to me!" Gu Qingtong took the initiative to walk over and took the camera in Cao Zhe's hand.

"You must not take Guyu's incident to heart. I thought it was a good thing to match the beauty of adulthood, but I didn't know that his motivation was impure and wanted to treat you as a case study..."

"Da Cao, this is just the beginning. If I continue to contact Guyu, I'm afraid..."

Gu Qingtong suddenly stopped talking and quickly enlarged the size of the photos displayed on the camera's touch screen.

"No, it won't be her!"

"Sister Gu?" Gu Qingtong's panic made Cao Zhe feel uneasy. He asked, "What have you seen?"

"The red butterfly birthmark on the back of the neck—" Gu Qingtong remembered a name, a former classmate she just recalled before leaving the hospital, "Lin Zi, didn't she settle in Yandu with her parents?"

Pan Shaofang stepped forward and asked, "Do you know the deceased?"

Gu Qingtong calmed down and said, "The birthmark on the neck of the deceased is very similar to that of my middle school classmate Lin Zi. But as far as I know, she was admitted to Yandu University and stayed there, and her parents were also with her."

"There are many coincidences in the world," Pan Shaofang comforted, "There are more than one classmate who has similar birthmarks."

"The two moles above the birthmark are brown and red, very much like the top of the butterfly's antennae." Gu Qingtong's voice trembled, "I think this is no coincidence!"

-

At half past two, Zhong Hao sent the autopsy report.

The deceased's face was seriously damaged and could not be compared intuitively with the photos of the missing person. However, based on the deceased's dental condition, the Forensic Department found a matching person from the records of the missing person's dentist visit.

The deceased is Lin Zi.

Gu Qingtong closed the autopsy report and fell heavily on the chair.

The universal wheel of the swivel chair made a creaking sound, stirring her confused thoughts even more.

In her memory, Lin Zi was a lively and cute girl with good academic performance and good popularity. She had never seen anyone with whom Lin Zi became angry.

Moreover, what Lin Zi is most proud of is that kind and beautiful voice. However, the autopsy report shows that Lin Zi's vocal cords were removed.

The murderer is so cruel?!

"The deceased left Yandu and flew to Haicheng for vacation fifteen days ago, and took the train back to Jinyang ten days ago." Wu Chen showed a copy of the bill, "On the day she arrived in Jinyang, she checked in the Genting Hotel in the city center. But after checking in, she never showed up again."

Pan Shaofang rubbed his temples and turned to Shi Dong: "What is the result of the surveillance investigation?"

Shi Dong selected several key time points and cast the screenshots onto the screen: "Ten days ago, at 18:22, the deceased appeared in the surveillance of the passenger elevator of Genting Hotel No. 9. Combined with the analysis of the picture taken by the lobby probe, the deceased left the hotel at 18:37 and has never returned since then."

Pan Shaofang asked: "Is there only one entrance to the Genting Hotel?"

"The entrance to the lobby is on the south side, which is the main entrance." Shi Dong said, "There are two other doors, located on the east and west sides of the hotel, and are used by the guesthouse department and the catering department. Generally, guests will not enter and exit from these two places."

Pan Shaofang gave a questioning look, and Shi Dong hurriedly added: "I have clearly checked the surveillance videos of these two places, but no trace of the deceased was found."

"The Western Suburb Sewage Treatment Plant is just a place to throw the body away, and the real crime scene is not there." Gu Qingtong said, "The information we currently have is not enough to draw the trajectory of the deceased's activity during his lifetime."

Pan Shaofang agreed with her opinion: "You will lead the next investigation direction."

"Captain Pan," Gu Qingtong suggested, "I want to check all vehicles that appeared around the Genting Hotel at 18:37 ten days ago."

Pan Shaofang nodded: "Okay, the bus group and the taxi company will cooperate."

"You must also check your private cars!" Gu Qingtong's eyes were firm, "The person who took Lin Zi away is not necessarily a stranger."

-

On the day Lin Zi disappeared, a private car appeared outside the hotel gate attracted the attention of the Crime Team.

The owner is Gu Yu, a psychiatrist who has a different obsession with Gu Qingtong.

According to the monitoring of the hotel gate and the two-way driving recorder on the Guyu car, the Crime Team can confirm that Lin Zi got into Guyu's car when he walked out of the hotel.

"I kindly carried her for a long time, why did I become a suspect?"

Gu Yu was full of impatientness and his arms were placed on his chest. His upper body sat relatively relaxed, but his legs were clearly posing an x-crossing shape symbolizing tension.

Jin Haiyang and Shi Dong looked at each other and asked directly: "When did the deceased get off your car? Where did she go after getting off?"

Guyu's eyes quickly turned to the lower left, trying hard to recall the scene at that time.

"She said she didn't bring cash, and the atm repair next to the hotel was stopped and she couldn't withdraw money. She asked me if I could take her to the nearest self-service bank. I was waiting for my friend, but I was released with pigeons. I thought about it and I would just take her for a ride anyway."

These descriptions are consistent with the picture taken by the dash cam.

Jin Haiyang asked again: "Which bank did you go to?"

"Jinyang Commercial Bank, located on the corner of the east side of the financier, I am absolutely kind. Police Officer, you two can go and check. Commercial Bank does not charge cross-bank and cross-regional handling fees, otherwise I wouldn't take her there to withdraw money from afar!"

If it were before, Shi Dong would have been unable to help but get angry. Now he has accumulated enough experience and has been wise to all kinds of quibbling against the suspect.

"Your lie is not very clever. We have checked the details of the deceased card. Ten days ago, except for a hotel deposit and card swiping record, there were no other transactions."

Guyu slowly let go of his arms that were tightly held, put his hands back on his knees, and sat upright.

"Mr. Police Officer, the girl entered the self-service bank. She came out in less than half a minute and told me that she entered the wrong password card and was locked. She begged me to borrow some cash to her."

Jin Haiyang asked: "Did you borrow it? What is the amount?"

"It's raining, and I see that she's not familiar with the place, it's very pitiful..." Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I lent her all the cash in my wallet, about 600 yuan, and I haven't counted it in detail."

"What afterwards? Where did you go?"

"She said she hadn't returned to Jinyang for many years and had changed too much and refused to accept the road. She asked me to take her to the subway station. I saw that it was not too late, so I simply sent the Buddha to the west and took her to the place she wanted to go."

Jin Haiyang circled the word "Western Suburbs" in his notepad and pushed it under Gu Yu's nose.

“Is the final destination here?”

"No." Guyu flatly denied, "She was going to the 24-hour library in the North District of Jinyang City. I admire the people who love to study, so I sent her there."

Jin Haiyang winked at Shi Dong, who understood and immediately walked out of the interrogation room to check the surveillance video ten days ago in the library.

Ten minutes later, Shi Dong came back and whispered to Jin Haiyang: "At 20:25 that night, Lin Zi appeared at the gate of the 24-hour library."

Gu Yu heard this and said, "Mr. Police officer, the surveillance time you see may not be accurate. The girl got off the bus and happened to catch up with the time when the traffic channel reported the traffic conditions, at half past eight..."

Shi Dong was very annoyed when he was robbed of the words. He slapped the table suddenly: "I haven't finished speaking yet! At 20:39, Lin Zi left the library. She stayed in the library for only fourteen minutes, and since then, until she was killed, her whereabouts were unknown!"

Guyu was not shocked: "Mr. Police officer, I took a picture of the driving recorder. I went home just after she got off the car. I can prove my innocence."

-

In the observation room, Gu Qingtong looked solemnly, looking at Gu Yu through the one-way glass. His confession was both a pity that was deliberately revealed, and it also seemed like a line selected after many rehearsals.

Gu Qingtong whispered: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Chen said: "A cunning hunter, the prey is no longer exciting for him."

"The hunting process he yearned for was not a fierce confrontation face to face, but began with chasing, until he lured, tamed and subdued—" As he spoke, Gu Qingtong's tone suddenly became heavy, "In the end, it was bloody, slaughter, killing."

Wu Chen was stunned and immediately raised an objection: "Sister Gu, I am exactly the opposite of what you think, Gu Yu is not the murderer."

Gu Qingtong fell into deep thought. Her brain was running at high speed, trying to find the most valuable one from the trivial clues.

In the interrogation room, Gu Yu said: "Mr. Police Officer, if there is no other problem, can you let me go? Today is my friend's birthday, and I promise to go back and celebrate..."

"Follow him," Gu Qingtong suddenly said, "Xiao Wu, check his bottom line!"
