I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 423 - 256: Tracing the Source of the Corpse
"Captain Li, you’re so bad, look at that girl, she’s scared green."
Yang Ming laughed mischievously, obviously he had completely forgotten the embarrassing scene at the cemetery just now.
Now he actually has the time to laugh at others.
"If you’re worried, you can go comfort her and teach her how to vomit smoothly."
"Uh, forget it, it’s better if you don’t mention it. Once you do, my mind is full of rotten flesh, that smell is faintly lingering."
Hearing Li Xiang bring up old matters, Yang Ming felt his stomach acid reflux, and the stench returned to his nose.
After finishing up at Dongjin District, they all returned to the task force.
All of the victim’s belongings were packed and brought back, with someone dedicated to organizing them.
Trying to find some documents or other items that could prove the deceased’s identity.
"Captain Qiu, we found a work badge."
The team member who’s sorting the victim’s belongings suddenly found a work badge.
"Fresh Water World? Nana? Number 98?"
"Does anyone know what Fresh Water World is?"
"From the name, it sounds like a bathhouse."
"This Nana is probably using a fake name."
From the landlord, they got a photocopy of the ID card, the name says Li Wenna, but the work badge says Nana, it’s likely a fake ID.
"Is the photo at least her?"
"The photo is her, I asked the landlord, he said he saw the ID card, the photo is of her."
"Seems we can only use the photo to find her."
Everyone compiled the clues on hand again, the blood and human tissue collected from the bathroom wall and drain had been sent to the provincial office for comparison.
But based on the current evidence, it’s not hard to infer that the victim might be this ’Li Wenna’.
"Let’s issue a reward notice to see if we can find her."
Reward notice gathering clues, is a sword in the hands of the police, sometimes it works exceptionally well nationwide.
"Yes." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Field team, let’s go to Water World; video team, immediately conduct a full review of the Dongjin District footage."
Video team: "Yes."
Qiu Cang led the field team and hurried to investigate Fresh Water World where Li Wenna worked.
This time Li Xiang chose not to go, the victim used a fake ID, clearly wanting to keep secrets, so her workplace likely wouldn’t know much about her.
He might as well stay behind and check the surveillance footage.
With the video team combing through Dongjin District footage, Li Xiang saw the suspect appear in the video.
At 3 a.m. on October 6, the suspect returned to Building 9, very cautious, wearing a mask and baseball cap, keeping his head down and quickly passed by.
This camera was the closest to the suspect and captured the clearest footage, but the suspect had some counter-surveillance awareness, knowing how to disguise himself somewhat.
"Can’t see clearly."
In the video, they could only roughly make out the suspect’s height and weight, but knew little else. They then watched a few hours later, at 6 a.m., the suspect appeared again, this time with a blue backpack, quickly leaving the video.
Throughout, the video team couldn’t clearly see the suspect’s face.
"Split into teams to keep tracking his whereabouts, let’s keep flipping back to see previous surveillance footage."
Following Li Xiang’s instructions, the video team did not refuse, indeed, he had proved his ability to the task force, and everyone now recognized his skill.
Of course, quite a bit of this skill was thanks to Coal Ball.
The video continued to flip back, on the evening of October 5 at 11 p.m., the suspect went back and forth three times, carrying four plastic bags downstairs, he was already consciously disguising himself by then.
Continuing back to 7:05 a.m., he was carrying a blue backpack upstairs.
"I guess there might be the dismemberment tools in that bag."
At that point, the suspect probably came to dismember.
They watched in the video as this person came and went multiple times.
"Keep looking back, I want to see when the victim returned."
"Okay."
At 12:37 a.m. on October 4, Li Xiang finally saw the victim appear in the video, she returned shortly, then the suspect came over.
"The suspect came over at that time, clearly knowing the victim had returned home, which indicates the two knew each other and had contact, he probably wasn’t coming over for the first time, keep tracing back. I refuse to believe he always disguises himself."
When the suspect disguises himself, it implies he has murder intent, consciously hiding himself.
But this murder intent doesn’t come about suddenly, prior to this, they must have met and given their familiarity, the suspect definitely wasn’t visiting for the first time. It’s still very hopeful to track him down by checking earlier footage.
As they continued investigating, Qiu Cang returned.
"How’s the situation?"
"Li Wenna used a fake ID at her workplace; after finishing work on October 3, she didn’t return the next day."
"I already saw this in the surveillance. After she returned home at night, the suspect went in shortly after. I’m just curious why, since Li Wenna didn’t go to work, why didn’t the workplace look for her or report it?"
