I’m scared!
No, with Yan Kongyue here, there’s nothing to fear! Wei He’s face looked grim, but she gritted her teeth and comforted her friend.
“Let’s get in the car!” Yan Kongyue hurriedly ushered the two of them into the vehicle.
Lin Qian had also calmed down by now and drove into the police station compound.
“Hey? Lin Qian, what are you doing here?” The officer at the reception recognized Lin Qian.
“Sister Wang, where's my brother?”
“Lin Team, is he around?”
“I’m not looking for him; I just wanted to ask. A friend of mine just got a call saying she needs to come identify a body.”
“Oh, it’s your friend! Sister Wang quickly pulled Lin Qian a few steps inside. “Lin Qian, I was just worried about this. You need to prepare your friend; her sister’s body is quite tragic.”
Yan Kongyue could tell they had something to discuss and led the two girls to wait nearby.
“Is it confirmed?”
“It’s confirmed. The school reported it this morning, and your brother went to the scene!”
“What happened?”
“Campus bullying!”
“Kids these days don’t know what’s going on!”
“Who doesn’t say that? Come on, let’s talk to your friend.”
“Okay!”
The two returned to where Yan Kongyue and Lin Qian were waiting.
Yan Kongyue and Lin Qian didn’t know how to start, but Yan Kongyue was sharp and had already overheard their conversation.
“Are you Tang Zhi?”
“Yes, Tang Yuan is your sister, right?”
“Yes!” Tang Zhi understood immediately; her sister must be in trouble.
“You need to be mentally prepared.”
Tang Zhi suddenly stopped crying, straightened her back, wiped her tears, and solemnly nodded at Police Sister.
"Then follow me!"
The four of them remained silent, with Lin Qian bringing up the rear.
The morgue was empty, with a solitary bed placed inside, just like in the dramas on television. A white cloth covered it, and the unmistakable outline revealed to everyone that it was Tang Yuan.
Wei He linked arms with Tang Zhi as they approached the bed.
Tang Zhi hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and lifted the white cloth. What lay before her was a head with unevenly cut hair and a youthful face marred by bruises. Her forehead was split open in the center, one eye swollen to the size of an egg, and there was a large gash at the corner of her mouth. Two purple marks encircled her neck, while her shoulders and collarbone were also covered in alarming bruises.
Little Treasure Tang Zhi nearly choked on her breath and almost fainted. If it weren't for Yan Kongyue's quick reflexes to support her, she might have collapsed.
After leaving the morgue, Tang Zhi said nothing and didn't cry; she just sat in a chair in a daze.
"Sister Wang, where's the murderer?"
"We extracted semen from five individuals from Tang Yuan's body. It is currently being tested for matches. We expect results by tomorrow morning."
"Is that really so long?"
"This is actually quick; the autopsy took nearly four hours."
"Her cause of death is so obvious; does it really take that long for an autopsy?"
"It seems you've learned quite a bit from your brother. It's not just that the autopsy takes time; there were many things found in her body," Sister Wang's voice grew softer, as if afraid of upsetting Tang Zhi.
"What about surveillance?"
"Tang Yuan was attacked last night. We received the report early and rushed to the school, but by then, the scene had already been compromised, and the surveillance footage was destroyed."
"What do we need to do now?"
"There are some questions we need to ask Tang Zhi."
"Okay!" Without waiting for Lin Qian's response, Tang Zhi agreed.
"Tang Zhi, in order to find the murderer as quickly as possible, you need to cooperate with us."
"I understand."
It was nearly an hour later when they finally left the police station.
