Chapter 727: Veteran’s Retreat

Lin Dongxue frowned, clearly uncomfortable with the conversation. Chen Shi steered the topic back on track, asking, “So who identified the head that was received?”

Xiao Si shrugged. “”

“What help?”

“To dispose of the body… Later, he also said, if the police ask who received which part, don’t say anything.”

“Tell me everything you know about someone receiving specific body parts.” Chen Shi changed tactics, using the process of elimination.

“Xiao Wei got the leg, I got the right hand, Da Niu’s bag felt soft, probably the internal organs.”

“Can you be more specific?”

“I can’t, I really only know this much. On the day we dumped the body, each of us had a big black plastic bag, couldn’t see anything.”

“Alright!” Chen Shi sighed helplessly. “Show me your group chat.”

Xiao Si pulled out his phone. The group was indeed named “Mushroom Cultivation Technology Exchange Group” with nothing inside. Xiao Si shrugged. “Xiao Ge deleted everything to avoid the police.”

“What are you guys so afraid of?”

“Guilt makes you nervous!” Xiao Si smirked.

At this point, Zhang Xiao posted a message in the group, “This is not a drill! This is not a drill! Xiao Wei was killed by a psycho. The police just came to me. Everyone, don’t hide, actively cooperate with the police to solve the case. Life is precious!”

Below was another message, “Be cautious in what you say, don’t end up landing yourself in jail helping others!”

Everyone exploded in outrage, scrolling the screen quickly. Chen Shi felt dizzy looking at it all. He thought, these people probably all had experiences with fraud and deception for money or love. Right now, it’s just a homicide investigation, this matter will be settled after the autumn!

Chen Shi handed the phone back to Xiao Si. “Tell them to confess about the body parts they received themselves.”

Xiao Si sent out the message as instructed, claiming it was the police’s request. As soon as the message went out, an anonymous message appeared, “Please, don’t say! The police are using the process of elimination! If I say, I’ll be exposed!”

Everyone condemned him, saying, “Bastard, who the hell are you? You killed Xiao Wei!” “From start to finish, you don’t show your face, you’re not a man!”

Chen Shi counted and except for Xiao Si, the other seven people were all condemning the anonymous person. In other words, the anonymous person himself was pretending to condemn himself.

What’s this, Werewolf Kill?

Da Niu made an amazing discovery, “Why isn’t Xiao Si speaking? Xiao Si is that turtle grandson!”

Xiao Si was angry and sent a voice message on his phone, “Fuck you, I’m talking to the police! Whoever the hell comes out first, I declare, I got the right hand!”

Under his leadership, No. 2 said, “I received… B!”

No. 3 said, “Intestines!”

No. 4 said, “Chest!”

Zhang Xiao said, “Head.”

Everyone said it, the anonymous person disappeared like a ghost in the sunlight, never to speak again. Xiao Si excitedly said, “Is this clue enough?”

Chen Shi said, “Let me ask, did Zhang Xiao’s head get disfigured?”

Xiao Si conveyed this meaning, and Zhang Xiao replied, “My face doesn’t know what was poured on it, it’s a mess.”

Chen Shi was amazed for a while and said to Xiao Si, “Alright, let’s go first.”

Xiao Si, however, stared at his phone, daydreaming. Chen Shi said it twice before he reacted, saying, “Oh, then I’ll get back to work.”

Leaving the studio, both Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue were full of doubts. Lin Dongxue couldn’t wait to speak, “This is so strange, the dismemberer’s intention was to test, why disfigure the head sent out?”

“One possibility is that Zhang Xiao is lying. Duan Lin was his girlfriend. Think about what he did at the party, it was him who took the initiative to announce the breakup, conveniently leaving to clean up.”

“Another possibility is the special part I proposed, Duan Lin had something like a birthmark on her!”

“This can also be checked, the body is in the morgue, let Lao Peng check it again.”

“Wait, should we reorganize and try this motive, is just our reasoning.”

Chen Shi shook his head, “Do you remember what the anonymous person just said? He actually saw us want to use the process of elimination, it shows that he knows that the parts he received will expose him as Duan Lin’s boyfriend thing, trying out this idea is correct!”

Chen Shi immediately called Pence Jew. He thought it was necessary to visit Zhang Xiao once.

As a result, Zhang Xiao was still at work, saying it wasn’t very convenient now. Lin Dongxue suggested, “Go see Duan Lin’s father!”

“Okay!”

On the way, Xu Xiaodong sent Chen Shi the information he found. Duan Lin’s father had been a soldier before, and he had been killing pigs and sheep part-time in the village because he had a slaughter permit.

In addition, his identity card usage information clearly reveals that he arrived in Long’an by train on March 23.

Duan Lin’s father also lived in her rented house, and he hoped the police would come as much as the stars and moons. He was happy to see the two of them, handing tea and cigarettes, asking, “Has my daughter’s case been solved?”

“Not yet, we’re here to verify some information.” Chen Shi said.

“Oh, oh……” Uncle’s face was clearly lost a few points, “You guys ask!”
