Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 114 - 87: You’ve Got a Life on Your Shoulders
The colleagues in the police force moved quickly, and by now, they had already transported the body to the station.
Watching Wen Xu walk into the autopsy room, Zhou Zhicheng led his team to the meeting room.
They needed to fully integrate the information obtained from the scene investigation and further form the direction of the subsequent investigation.
The female officer organized all the records together, and after placing them on the table, a loud voice echoed in the meeting room.
"According to our investigation, the deceased’s name is Zhu Hong, aged twenty-seven, unmarried, not a local."
"The place where we found the body is her rented apartment."
"As for her occupation... she didn’t have a stable job; she was a dance broadcaster on the Whale platform."
She tried to outline the basic situation of the deceased as succinctly as possible.
Zhu Hong didn’t have a good relationship with the neighbors.
Almost no one around her had a close connection.
Most were even the kind of relationship where they wouldn’t greet each other even if they met on the street.
"However," the female officer paused, "I personally think the reason they disliked Zhu Hong was that they viewed her as improper."
Most residents of this old building were people in their forties or fifties.
In their conception, they instinctively rejected Zhu Hong’s kind of profession. It was no different from those performers who couldn’t make it to the stage in ancient times.
Not to mention if they saw her dressed seductively, dancing enthusiastically in the live broadcast room.
Of course, apart from disgust, most housewives among the neighbors also held some hostility and wariness towards Zhu Hong.
The female officer didn’t want to say this, but during the investigation, she even felt a sense of relief from the tone of one or two people.
They even said she might have been killed by a lover because of fooling around in relationships.
Zhou Zhicheng cursed out loud.
"These brainless fools."
Seeing his face, one could tell that it was even more vulgar than his words.
It was obvious that Zhou Zhicheng was truly angry.
According to their understanding, it was clear that he was holding back with just one curse.
The officers around the table looked at each other, but no one spoke, clearly accustomed to this scene.
But actually, they weren’t feeling comfortable about it.
Whether what they said was true or not, the deceased was gone, and even if it was true, they should at least maintain some basic respect.
Moreover, the female officer vaguely sensed there were other things here they didn’t know.
Sipping a cup of tea that had already changed color, Zhou Zhicheng calmed down slightly.
Then he asked, "Did we find anything on the deceased’s phone?"
"There were quite a few accounts chatting with her, and most of them were male, with only a very small number of females."
"They seem a bit like online friends," the female officer added.
Given the deceased’s occupation as a broadcaster, it was quite normal in this era to frequently interact with others online.
"But there were a few that seemed quite intimate, and from the conversations, it was evident that they had met in real life."
However, whether they were boyfriends couldn’t be determined.
That couldn’t be seen from the conversation between the two.
"So, could it be that the one who killed her was her lover?" Hu Chi blinked, following up on the previous words.
As a result, because of that sentence, everyone’s attention was drawn over.
Hu Chi instantly felt a tingling on his scalp and became stammering, but had no choice but to continue, "For instance, the murderer might be a male friend close to her, and during a usual interaction, he saw many ambiguous chats on the deceased’s phone and got angry..."
This type of situation wasn’t uncommon in the murder cases they encountered over the years.
Impulsive murders caused by jealousy.
Not receiving any rebuttal, Hu Chi became increasingly confident, thinking his guess was very possible.
Eventually, he started to speak incessantly.
"This can also explain why we didn’t find any ’forced entry’ or lock picking marks on the door."
Because the killer got into the house with the deceased’s consent.
"Yes, that’s right, exactly like that!"
He spoke to himself, completely oblivious to Zhou Zhicheng glaring at him.
At the end, he even nodded as if to encourage himself.
"Then why do you think she was lying on the ground like that?" Zhou Zhicheng seemed to ask unintentionally.
He was referring to the deceased lying with her back facing the ceiling, completely naked.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a normal situation between a man and a woman.
Not to mention the bluish-purple bruises on her body.
"This..."
Hu Chi touched his nose, his brain was running fast, but seemingly to no avail.
"Maybe the two of them had a conflict during the process."
"Or perhaps the murderer wanted to vent his anger in this way?"
"Or maybe he wanted to have a final intimacy with the deceased before killing her?"
He gave his three guesses one by one.
Zhou Zhicheng’s face visibly darkened.
It seemed like if Hu Chi said another word, he would slap him.
At this point, Hu Chi finally sensed something was off with the crowd around him.
He turned his neck to see the expressions of others looking at him, then belatedly asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Did... I say something wrong?"
He felt he made a valid argument.
Zhou Zhicheng just opened his mouth when he caught a glimpse of a white figure from the corner of his eye, along with a certain scent of soap handwash.
"It wasn’t a lover."
Hu Chi: ???
Upon hearing someone refute his guess, Hu Chi’s first reaction was displeasure.
However, just as he was straightening his neck, he saw who refuted him.
Instantly, his temper deflated by more than half.
He forced a smile and said, "Forensic Wen..."
"How come you’re so fast?"
He felt like the other party hadn’t been in the autopsy room for very long.
And the attention of the others was also drawn by the sudden appearance of Wen Xu.
To be precise, it was by what he said.
After all, since he said so, it indicated he found evidence during the autopsy to disprove Hu Chi’s guess.
It might even provide them with crucial clues.
Zhou Zhicheng asked, "Wen Xu, what did you find?"

The moment Mu Yunchu saw Xia Ling’s hand, her brow furrowed.
How could this be?
Seeing her not showing a relaxed expression like before, the netizens thought she might be encountering some difficulty.
[Oh no, looking at the streamer’s expression; is it possible she can’t calculate it?]
Some people were happy, while others were worried.
Seeing this guess made Xia Ling feel delighted inside.
However, just as the corners of her mouth began to rise, she saw Mu Yunchu’s expression suddenly turn cold.
Her tone carried a chill, and her words made everyone’s hairs stand on end.
"You have a life on your back."
"A human life."
