Unknowingly, they had already entered the city. The noisy sounds from outside the car window filtered through the glass into their ears. The car slowly came to a stop by the roadside. Captain Xing turned his head to look at them and asked, "Do you want to go to the police station?"
Su Jin'er thought of Linyuan's body still lying in the police station, and her body shivered slightly. She wanted to see her but was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her emotions, so she shook her head.
Chu Feifan held Su Jin'er tightly in his arms as she trembled continuously and then tightened his embrace, saying, "We won't go. Please ask Captain Xing to check if Zuo Yi is still at the police station and see if he wants to come to my house."
Captain Xing nodded and got out of the car with Jiang Jie. As they walked, Jiang Jie informed him about Du Xiaonan's autopsy report.
"Her heart was removed. You should take a look at the Autopsy Report for more details," Jiang Jie said, handing a stack of documents to Captain Xing.
He took out the documents from the folder and examined them closely. The more he read, the deeper his frown became, while Jiang Jie stood beside him, looking increasingly anxious.
"How could this happen?" Captain Xing placed the documents on the table and sighed with a face full of doubt.
"Isn't it strange? I feel like this doesn't seem like something a human would do," Jiang Jie whispered.
"If it's not done by a human, could it be done by a ghost?" Captain Xing said gruffly.
"Maybe it really is."
Captain Xing raised his head and looked at her angrily, saying, "You are a police officer; how can you believe in such things?"
"But this is clearly not something a human would do! How could someone possibly dig out another person's heart with their bare hands?"
"The Autopsy Report doesn't say it was dug out by hand!" Captain Xing glared at her.
"But look at her wounds; they don't look like they were made with a knife or any other sharp object."
Captain Xing shot her a glare and fell silent. He didn't know how to explain this matter. The wounds were so irregular that they didn't seem like they were made with a sharp weapon. What exactly did the Killer use to kill her and remove her heart?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. He sighed helplessly and said, "Let's go see if Zuo Yi is still there."
"He is. He has been guarding Linyuan's body and hasn't left; he's been sitting there for several hours," Jiang Jie replied. She had already asked while she was inside getting the documents.
"Go call him over and just say I asked for him."
After Jiang Jie walked out, Captain Xing leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples. The recent case had been giving him a headache. After ten years as a police officer, rising from a Junior Officer to the captain of the criminal investigation team, he had worked hard and fought long. He had solved countless cases, but he had never encountered such a tricky one. The Killer behind it was very clever, repeatedly leading them into traps and then using unknown methods to kill those he used as bait. But what was his purpose in killing so many people?
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and he straightened up, waiting for the person outside to come in.
Knock knock—
"Come in!"
"Captain Xing, Zuo Yi is here."
Captain Xing waved his hand, signaling Jiang Jie to step out first.
Watching Jiang Jie exit and close the door, Captain Xing pointed to the sofa and said, "Have a seat!"
"What did you need me for, Captain Xing?"
Zuo Yi's voice was calm, not as sorrowful as he had imagined.
"I know you're upset, but being upset won't solve any problems; it will only make a person's spirit more despondent."
"I know what you're trying to say. I just want to spend more time with her. Don't worry; I won't fall into despair because I still need to find the real Killer and avenge Xiaoyuan."
Captain Xing smiled and said, "It seems I didn't misjudge you. Take a look at this."
Captain Xing handed Zuo Yi the autopsy report of Du Xiaonan. He opened it with confusion and furrowed his brows tightly after glancing through it.
"What does this mean?"
"Du Xiaonan's death is very strange. The three holes in her body don't look like they were made by any sharp tools."
"Her heart was taken out?"
"Well! It's a strange method of killing. What does the Killer want with her heart? If it’s for selling organs, why are the other organs still intact?" Captain Xing seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps asking Zuo Yi.
"Why not give this information to Chu Feifan and the others?"
"Oh! I still need to give it to them, but they want me to ask you a question."
Zuo Yi tilted his head, frowning.
"He wants me to ask you if you want to go to his house."
Zuo Yi thought for a moment and said, "Sure, when do we leave?"
"Now."
A few minutes later, they got into the car together. Chu Feifan patted his shoulder. They had grown up together as brothers, even closer than biological siblings, so they could basically guess what each other was thinking.
Captain Xing handed Du Xiaonan's report to Su Jin'er and then said, "I know it's not appropriate to let you know this now, but you need to be aware."
Su Jin'er opened the report and began reading it with Chu Feifan. Their reactions mirrored each other as their brows furrowed deeper.
"How could this happen?" Chu Feifan exclaimed in surprise.
"I find it strange too. What method did the Killer use?"
"Has Captain Xing never seen such wounds before?"
"I’ve never seen anything like it. It looks like it was torn open by hand, yet also like something was directly stabbed in and then pulled out—the heart, that is."
"Let’s talk while we walk!" Su Jin'er calmly set the document aside. "What about Chu Bufan?"
Captain Xing sighed and looked at Chu Feifan through the rearview mirror. "Rescue was unsuccessful; he’s already dead."
"What was the cause of death?"
"Biting the tongue, several people all committed suicide by biting their tongues."
Since the death of Xu Mengguang, the bizarre nature of this case has completely exceeded their imagination. From a simple murder case at the beginning to a purposeful serial murder case now, they have experienced too much life and death. Perhaps for them, being together for even a minute is happiness, because in the next second, they do not know who among them might suddenly die.
Su Jin'er let out a heavy sigh. This breath had been held in her heart for a long time, and now that it was released, she felt much more comfortable, but the faint stinging sensation still lingered in her heart.
"Jin'er, don't worry. We will definitely find out who the killer is," Chu Feifan said.
Su Jin'er did not respond to Chu Feifan's words but instead asked Captain Xing, "When will their autopsy report be ready?"
"The earliest will be three days. Is their autopsy report very important?"
"Yes. Captain Xing, have you sent someone to bring Zhang Junsheng's body back?"
"They've already gone." Captain Xing looked at her with some surprise through the rearview mirror. Her face was very pale, as white as a sheet of paper, but her thoughts were still very clear. He suddenly felt that he was not the detective; Su Jin'er was the real detective.
"Why did they all commit suicide together? It's really strange," Chu Feifan muttered to himself.
"I think so too, which is why their autopsy report is very important."
"This is bad, Captain Xing! You need to quickly notify the police station to keep an eye on their bodies; someone might come to steal them," Chu Feifan said excitedly.
"Steal bodies?"
"How could I forget about this! Our forensic doctor might be in danger," Captain Xing quickly pulled over to the side of the road but was still one step too late.
Before he could take out his phone, it started ringing in his pocket. He took it out to check and then took a deep breath. "Hello! Jiang Jie, what's wrong?"
"Captain Xing, something happened. The forensic doctor is dead, and the bodies of those people are also missing."
"What?" Captain Xing stood up excitedly and hit his head hard against the car roof.
"What are you all doing? You can't even keep an eye on a single body!"
"What should we do now?"
"Go find the bodies! These corpses are key to solving the case, so we must retrieve them."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Su Jin'er's mouth; she should have anticipated this. This Killer is not just any ordinary smart person!
"Captain Xing, no matter what happens, we need to go to Fei Fan's house. I want to see what tricks this person will come up with to stop us."
"You mean..."
"That's right. Perhaps the answers we are looking for are in Fei Fan's house. He created this series of events to prevent us from going there. Now that I think about it, maybe that's why they didn't let Fei Fan and me go upstairs together."
"Because they were afraid I would see that room and remember that my house has a similar one."
"Exactly. So this time, no matter what happens, we cannot be stopped." Su Jin'er looked out the window with determination in her eyes.
