Chapter 464: Unraveling the Brutal Crime

Chapter 464: Someone’s Lying (Update 2)

One hand wielding a blunt weapon, the other a blade?

Xiao Yu clenched his fists and swung a few times.

Isn’t that inhumane?

Moreover… both hands showed incredible strength. How was that possible?

A normal person without specialized training wouldn’t display such a disparity in hand strength.

The victim’s skull bore signs of a crushing blow, and the thrust wounds carried immense force.

Excessive power from both hands… something is very wrong!

Besides…

If a normal person intended to kill, one deadly weapon should suffice, right?

Whether a blunt object or a blade, either can be lethal and easy to maneuver.

In fact, wielding weapons in both hands usually gives no extra offensive advantage – it might even be a burden.

Of course, we can’t rule out that the murderer might be mentally unstable!

“Shall we check out the next scene?”

At the scene, Criminal Police were already investigating. With nothing remarkable about the corpse, Xiao Yu asked He Li.

“Mm.”

He Li stood up, tidied up her forensic tools, and followed her little brother.

Inside the police car.

Wang Cheng was driving while Xiao Yu and He Li chatted idly.

“That little baby is just adorable!”

He Li glanced at Baby’s photos on Little Brother’s phone, a gentle warmth uniquely feminine on her face. “Did you both inherit all each other’s best traits?”

“Hehe!”

Xiao Yu grinned foolishly with pride.

440 – Indeed, their son was quite handsome.

Only two months old, yet he already resembled a little angel.

However…

A too-handsome son can also be a headache for parents.

Why?

Because Xiao Yu himself is rather ‘beautiful’.

Luckily, he managed to keep himself in check and didn’t develop a notorious heartbreaker complex.

Otherwise, how many young ladies would suffer and how many debts of affection would he accrue?

I remember whenever we went out with my older sister…

Mu Qingwu’s gaze swept over the surrounding girls, exuding a domineering air.

It was as if she were watching over a herd of sows trying to snatch her prized cabbages.

On the flip side, whenever a man glanced at Mu Qingwu,

Xiao Yu felt an urge to gouge their eyes out.

Sometimes the young couple bickered, complaining that the other was too good-looking.

It was exhausting!

In an industrial area, in the spacious basement of a single-story building.

Three bodies lay scattered messily on the floor.

Two men and one woman.

Hou Xin, male, 37, a native of Bin City… a fitness trainer and the secret lover of Hu Xinran’s wife.

Wen Yangji, male, 31, from Bin City, unemployed… suspected to be a member of a human organ trafficking ring.

Qi Xuecui, female, 29, from Bin City, unemployed… also suspected to be involved in the human organ trafficking ring.

“Their clothing is actually quite ordinary.”

He Li squatted down, pulled out her forensic kit, and began the on-site autopsy.

Indeed, all three victims wore very plain clothes.

One man and the woman wore work uniforms.

But Hou Xin was also dressed in work clothes?

“Huh?”

Xiao Yu’s expression shifted as he glanced at He Li.

What do you mean?

To put it simply: Are these steamed cornbread pieces four for a dollar?

Are you marveling at how cheap things are in Bincheng?

Or perhaps venting your inner shopping desires as a woman?

In the next moment… Xiao Yu’s scalp burned as his gaze zeroed in on the three corpses.

He compared the clothing on each body meticulously.

The uniforms were identical?!

According to the testimony from Gong Hongyun, the reporting witness,

the apparent cause of death for all three victims should have been…

Three criminals involved in human organ trafficking found out their ‘boss’ had been killed.

Was it a collusion between the ‘sister-in-law’ and the ‘lover’ to take down their leader?

Afterwards, they kidnapped the sister-in-law and lured the lover here.

Then a shootout ensued?

In the end, two of the criminals were killed by the lover, who in turn was also slain.

Is that how it went?

Now for a hilariously puzzling detail.

Why was the lover dressed in the same uniform as the criminals?

Did they plan to take a crap together beforehand?

Snapping back to focus, Xiao Yu sneered.

He recalled the cause of death at the first scene: Hu Xinran had suffered four consecutive explosive blows, shattering his skull.

And then those two stabs…

It clearly indicated that the killer was murdering for the sake of killing!

Another perplexing question arose.

Imagine being a lover, sneaking around with someone else’s wife, getting caught, and then—

Would you feel no shame?

No sense of guilt?

That’s not all.

You then go on to ruthlessly attack the husband?

Determined to wipe him out?

Really, who exactly is the lover?

How can you sleep at night after committing such a murder?

The situation was unraveling… Xiao Yu’s eyes turned ice-cold.

Endowed with the skill of Psychological Expert and a knack for criminal profiling, he sensed far too many inconsistencies.

Why would the witness Gong Hongyun lie?

After surveying the scene and the causes of death of the three victims,

Xiao Yu noticed too many suspicious details.

Firstly, there were indeed signs of conflict at the scene,

deduced from the arrangement of the bodies and the footprints.

It was clear that Hou Xin had clashed with the others.

However… judging by the footprints and the wounds on Hou Xin’s body,

the attacker must have been at least… five persons!

Five attackers?

So apart from the three criminals, who were the other two?

The reporting witness Gong Hongyun?

Or… the sister-in-law?

Could it be that all five conspired to kill Hou Xin?

Xiao Yu’s mind was in chaos.

Hou Xin wasn’t even the sister-in-law’s lover, was he?

If the sister-in-law had indeed participated in the murder,

why would she kill her own lover?

…

One hour later.

On a rural roadside.

Xiao Yu squatted beside a corpse.

This was the fifth victim in the case.

Qiao Hui, male, 35, a resident of Bincheng… suspected to be linked to the human organ trafficking ring.

Cause of death: Knife stabbings, visceral rupture…

“Seven stabs—judging by the direction, the torn wounds, and the severity, the killer was likely male.”

He Li peered at Xiao Yu, who squinted in deep thought, “It’s strange; the wounds on this body bear a striking resemblance to those on Hu Xinran at the first scene… almost a match!”

“Hmph!” Xiao Yu snorted.

He Li was just a step away from bluntly revealing that it was the same weapon.

Both victims were slain by the same murderer!

…

Approximately 1,100 meters away, about 200 meters below a highway,

a flipped car lay completely burned out.

Xiao Yu examined the charred vehicle carefully.

He also noticed a body, already burnt to a ravaged state, being extracted.

A female corpse, so badly charred that even her identity was unrecognizable!

Falcon’s Eye… Xiao Yu strode around the car in search of clues.

Apart from the investigation team, he discovered two sets of footprints.

The spacing between the prints clearly indicated

they were not running, but walking…

“Lying to the police, huh?”

Xiao Yu chuckled mockingly. “Alright then, have fun!”

Gong Hongyun’s testimony was completely debunked!
