Chapter 2 The Missing Girl 2

  "Are you still unmarried?" Liu Chunxiao's eyebrows slightly raised.

  "We're in a tough line of work as forensic doctors, it's hard to get married." Zhang Tong subconsciously stretched out his hands and smiled helplessly, "These hands, they touch dead people all day long, they can scare people off just by looking at them."

  Finished!

  At that moment, Liu Chunxiao clearly saw deep loss in Zhang Tong's eyes.

  At this moment, a pleasant mobile phone ringtone came from beside her ear. Zhang Tong quickly opened her handbag, took out the mobile phone and answered it, while nodding apologetically to Liu Chunxiao.

  "Uh... okay... I'll be right there!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tong stood up, "Sorry about this, Liu Chunxiao, a case I'm in charge of has a new lead and I need to get back to the office immediately. Next time..."

  "Let me treat you to dinner!"

  "It's okay, shall I see you home?" Liu Chunxiao also stood up.

  "It's okay, I'll go myself." Zhang Tong smiled faintly and quickly turned to walk towards the stairs of the teahouse.

  As he watched Zhang Tong's back, Liu Chunxiao felt a deep sense of loss in his heart. He had thought of many things to say to her - this time he came back not just to see Zhang Tong again, but more importantly,

  He wanted to tell Zhang Tong about his astonishing discovery, and he firmly believed that this discovery might just unlock the terrible secret hidden in Zhang Tong's heart for many years!

  The conference room of the Tianchang Public Security Bureau was brightly lit. Although it was packed with people, there was not a sound to be heard except for an occasional cough or two, as everyone waited patiently.

  Waiting for the arrival of an important person.

  As the attending forensic doctor, Zhang Tong sat in the position closest to the door. She raised her head and swept a glance over the entire conference room, finding that Wang Ya Nan and Zhao Yun were not among them.

  Soon, a hurried footsteps came from the door, and the door was pushed open. Wang Yan walked in hastily. She went straight to the whiteboard in front of the conference room, picked up the magnet, "slap"

  "Bang, bang, bang", six enlarged photos were posted in one breath, then turned around to introduce everyone: "The source of the body has been found, it is a freshman majoring in finance and accounting at Dongshan College in our city, named Wang Ya.

  Jing, who is just seventeen years old this year, is from Kaili County.

  As she spoke, she pointed to the first photo on her left, and in front of everyone was a thin and quiet girl with dark skin and firm eyes.

  The deceased's height, age and weight mentioned in the autopsy report of Wang Ya-jing and Zhang Fa-mei are basically consistent with hers, and her body type is slightly thin. She was originally from Kaili, which belongs to the Lingnan region, so the ethnic group is also consistent.

  The face also completely matches, and it can be confirmed that she is the deceased in this case. When he said this, Wang Yan pointed to the remaining five photos, "These were just taken from the dormitory where the deceased lived."

  "This shows that the deceased's disappearance was not intentional, everyone take a look at her bed."

  Everyone's gaze followed Wang Yan's finger to the fourth photo. The photo was of a simple double-layer iron frame bed, with a pink sheet spread on it, and a thin quilt was laid out.

  A plush toy is casually placed on the headboard, this is a typical girl's bed.

  "Look at this book lying face up on the blanket. This action is very casual, and it can be concluded that the owner of this book was reading halfway through when..."

  Everyone has the habit of lying in bed to read a book, reading halfway through it, and when something suddenly comes up and interrupts their reading, they will subconsciously put the book aside.

  According to the clue provided by Wang Yajing's roommate who reported the case, Wang Yajing claimed that she was going to see a friend and would be back soon, and also asked her roommate to keep the door open for her at night. However, since then

  "Never appeared again."

  "Captain Wang, according to the forensic report, we no longer have a way to conduct DNA matching on the deceased. Is it not too careless to confirm the identity of the deceased based solely on physical characteristics?" Li Ju asked with furrowed brows.

  "Officer Zhang provided me with a composite sketch of the deceased, and the deceased's roommate also identified the clothing the deceased was wearing when he went missing as the same clothes we found in the snakeskin bag at the scene. To be on the safe side,"

  The forensic side is extracting the victim's dental pulp, and the report will be out tomorrow. Hopefully, we can find some useful clues. I have also sent Deputy Captain Zhao and the school's security teacher to go together

  Kaili County has arranged for the parents of the deceased to be brought over tomorrow morning for identification and follow-up work.

  During this period, I asked the security team to help me retrieve all surveillance videos from Dongshan College starting from the day Wang Ya-jing went missing and sort them out one by one, trying to restore the deceased's departure from the college that night.

  “all subsequent actions.”

  The head of the security team nodded: "No problem, we'll handle it right away!"

  After the meeting, Zhang Tong stopped Wang Ya Nan in the corridor and they walked downstairs together.

  "Yanan, are you sure it's that girl?"

  Wang Yanan nodded solemnly: "Right, Xiao Tong, can't determine the cause of death yet?"

  Zhang Tong shook his head regretfully: "I told you, the body was torn apart so badly that on average each piece is only 0.5 cm thick, I have no way to examine the victim's external injuries, let alone...

  The corpses had all been boiled in high-temperature water, and many useful clues were destroyed. I am currently powerless to do anything about it. Moreover, there are no obvious wounds on the skeletons. Now the only inference is that...

  "The deceased is very likely to have died from poisoning or asphyxiation."

  "Poisoned?"

  Zhang Tong nodded: "My assistant Pan Jian has applied for toxic substance testing. He collected some bone marrow samples from the deceased. High-temperature water boiling will destroy the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, but it is not possible to determine whether

  "But for some poisons it's not possible, these toxic substances, especially chemical toxins will quickly precipitate on the deceased's bones and penetrate into the deceased's bone marrow."

  "How long will it take to get results?"

  "Zhang Tong shook his head: 'There are many types of toxins, we need to conduct a systematic screening, this will take time.'"

  Wang Yan frowned: "This murderer is very cunning and knows a lot about pathological knowledge!"

  "I also think so. Although the girl said she was a bit thin, she still weighed nearly 100 kilograms, and in our forensic view, to dismember a person weighing 100 kilograms within just three days is"

  Cut into such uniform pieces and throw them all over the place, it must be someone who is proficient in human body structure distribution, physically strong, with extremely high psychological quality, and even cold-blooded and unfeeling to a certain extent.

  "It takes people of this level more than nine hours of non-stop work to complete it!"

  "My goodness! This is simply inhuman!" Wang Yanan exclaimed.

  Zhang Tong nodded, adjusted the bag on his shoulder, and turned to face Wang Yanan with a serious expression: "This person's mind is very abnormal, death doesn't mean anything to him at all. So, Yanan,"

  "Be careful!"

  "Don't worry, I'll get him! I'll definitely catch that bastard!"

  As she stepped out of the elevator, Zhang Tong felt an inexplicable fatigue. She trudged along with heavy footsteps to her front door, fished out her keys, and was about to open the door when it suddenly swung open by itself, revealing a figure standing in front of her.

  "Quickly come in, you must be exhausted, child!"

  Zhang Tong smiled and shook his head, changing shoes while asking: "Thanks for your hard work, Uncle. How's my mom?"

  "She's fine, she's sleeping." Uncle pointed to Zhangtong's mother's bedroom. "I gave her medicine at 9 o'clock, and she should be able to sleep until tomorrow morning. If you have any situation later, just find me."

  "I don't have anything else to do anyway."

  Zhang Tong felt apologetic: "Uncle, I've troubled you!"

  "Silly child! We're all family, why say such distant words? I'm leaving. I left some food in the fridge for you, just heat it up and eat it yourself."

  Zhang Tong nodded.

  After seeing off his uncle, Zhang Tong quietly made his way to his mother's bedroom.

  In the room, a small pale purple lamp was on, and in the dim light, my mother lay quietly on the bed, curled up like an infant, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Zhang Tong stood in front of her mother's bed, silently gazing at her sleeping mother. She knew that only in her dreams would her mother feel that deep love that had long been distant.

  She looked up at the photo of her parents hanging on the wall, and in the somewhat yellowed picture, her young father's life was frozen in those bygone years. Since her father had made up his mind

  From the moment she jumped off the building and thoroughly freed herself, her mother lived forever in her own world.

  Looking at her father's smiling face, Zhang Tong burst into tears, and silent tears fell down her cheeks...

  "Old friend, are you really not going to give me any face and won't even drop a hint?" Although Zhao Junjie looked like he was already a bit drunk, his face red and flushed, Liu Chunxiao knew very well that Zhao Junjie

  His drinking capacity is not something that can be satisfied with just one bottle of beer.

  "Cut it out, I knew you had an ulterior motive for suddenly inviting me to drink today." Liu Chunxiao chuckled and shook her head, "Actually, I'm not too clear about what's going on in Xiaotong's family either, truly..."

  To be exact, she and I were only classmates for two years. Speaking of which, why are you interested in such an old case? Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Aren't journalists always busy?

  Really?

  Zhao Junjie couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "To be honest, little brother, I'm very busy, but spending my whole life as an unremarkable journalist really isn't my dream. The leader's baton points to where

  Son, I have to follow him closely to report, who is Zhao Junjie? The future Pulitzer Prize winner! This is my goal! I like old cases, especially those that haven't been solved yet.

  If this case can be solved because of my report, I will be satisfied! A great man dies without regret!"

  Listening to his old classmate's boastful words fueled by alcohol, Liu Chunxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, then let out a long sigh, shook his head, picked up the beer glass in front of him, and downed it in one gulp.

  He then said seriously, "I've only heard about it, and it seems that the missing girl, Xiao Tong's sister Zhang Qiu, still hasn't been found after all these years."

  "There is no news and I don't know if he is still alive in this world."

  Zhao Junjie nodded: "I have the same feeling. I carefully reviewed the case files, and when the child went missing, he was already eight years old. At this age, children should already have their own fixed...

  "Memories. If she were still alive, after more than 20 years have passed, she would definitely come looking for her family! I heard that the Zhang family still lives in their original old house?"

  "Yes, they didn't move house. Her dad killed himself soon after, it was a terrible scene, apparently he jumped from the building."

  "Little brother, have you noticed if there's anything different about this classmate of yours?" Zhao Junjie asked casually while refilling Liu Chunxiao's beer glass.

  Liu Chunxiao thought for a moment: "No, everything is normal, it's just that such a big change happened at home, she seems to be out of place and very lonely." As he said this, Liu Chunxiao's eyes welled up again.

  The figure of that frail but resolute back appeared.

  The file records that Zhang Fa was also at the scene of her sister's disappearance. Unfortunately, Zhang Tong was injected with anesthetics by the perpetrator and almost became a vegetable, but after waking up

  "I forgot that memory." Zhao Junjie pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a nearly perfect smoke ring. "Old friend, I really can't believe those things in America were true."

  The scene that just appeared in the video can actually be found around us, isn't it strange?"

  Liu Chunxiao didn't make a sound, but instead lowered his head and continued drinking, gradually falling into deep thought.

  Tianchang City Public Security Bureau Technical Team Forensic Laboratory, a row of precision testing instruments were silently flashing red and green lights in turn, the data display instrument was constantly updating with the latest inspection results.

  The test results came out. Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly the testing instrument emitted an unusual "beep" sound, followed by a dull "click" from the printer connected to the analyzer.

  It started the "ding-dong" printing work. Almost a minute later, the printing finally ended, and Pan Jian, who had been waiting on one side, hastily tore off the report sheet and excitedly opened the door to run upstairs.

  Go.
