“Who is it?” Chi Jiao asked.
“The victim’s name is Fang Xiaowei. The time of death is more than 24 hours ago. We will need more time for further testing and investigation. Mr. Chi Mingwei was the first to discover the body. So, for the time being, we have to treat him as our first suspect. We’re going to get his statement now,” An Cheng said in a business-like manner.
Chi Jiao said with certainty, “My father is not a murderer.”
Fang Xiaowei had already been forced into a corner by them. There was no need for Chi Mingwei to do so.
“Currently, Mr. Chi Mingwei is just a suspect. We haven’t confirmed that he is related to Fang Xiaowei’s death. It’s just that the dead body appeared in Mr. Chi Mingwei’s trunk. We have no choice but to take this seriously. I hope everyone will forgive us,” An Cheng said.
“Jiaojiao, if I didn’t do it, the evidence will prove so. I’m an upright citizen and will fully cooperate with the police’s investigation.” Chi Mingwei sat calmly in his seat, not flustered at all.
He had a clear conscience and had nothing to fear.
“Yes, Daddy. Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” Chi Jiao also comforted him.
Chi Mingwei was brought to give his statement.
“Someone is obviously targeting Uncle,” Quan Jue said.
“No matter who that person is, I won’t let him off easily if he dares to touch my father!” Chi Jiao’s eyes were burning with anger. After she finished speaking, she looked at Huo Chen. “Officer Huo, I want to see Fang Xiaowei’s body.”
If they wanted to prove that Chi Mingwei was innocent, then finding clues from the body was undoubtedly the fastest way.
“Alright, wait for a moment. I’ll help you with the application.” Huo Chen agreed without hesitation and went to ask his superior about the procedure.
Ten minutes later, Chi Jiao arrived at the morgue in her status as part of 117.
“This child…” Huo Chen looked at Shen Xing right before they entered the mortuary.
Shen Xing noticed Huo Chen’s gaze. It blinked and smiled mischievously. “What’s wrong with children? Who said that children must be afraid?”
“Don’t fool around. Wait here.” Chi Jiao didn’t want Shen Xing to become a weirdo in the eyes of others. Therefore, she ignored Shen Xing’s objections and forced it to stay outside.
Huo Chen brought Chi Jiao and Quan Jue into the morgue. After putting on protective gear, he took out the body.
Fang Xiaowei’s face was ashen, her lips completely pale. There were no injuries on her body. Only her head tilted at a strange angle to the side. Her body was not completely straight but curled up slightly.
Fang Xiaowei had been dead for more than 24 hours and had been stuffed into a trunk. It was normal for her body to be curled up this way due to rigor mortis.
The air was cold and smelled bloody. It was not a pleasant smell.
Chi Jiao didn’t mind. After putting on her gloves, she reached out and pressed on Fang Xiaowei’s crooked neck. She discovered that there was an unusual bruise on the back of her neck. “Is her neck broken?”
“Yes, the medical examiner has already done a preliminary examination. Fang Xiaowei died from an injury to her neck. Her neck was twisted like a fried doughnut twist, but the surface of her skin is perfectly preserved. There’s only a little bruise, which looks very strange,” Huo Chen said.
Fang Xiaowei’s neck was broken, which meant that there was only a thin layer of skin and flesh connecting her head and body.
