One day later, in the autopsy center of the Yunzhou Police Station.
Although the case had been upgraded, Miao Ying had a good night's sleep. She looked particularly energetic that day.
She knew that it would take at least one or two days to find out the identity of the deceased. So, instead of waiting, it was better to rest and recharge.
The autopsy center of the Yunzhou Police Station was the largest one in the entire Yuezhou Province.
But even so, the seven bodies could not be examined at the same time. They could only be examined in batches.
"We didn't find any clothes …" Zhang Peipei was examining the bodies as she explained to Miao Ying and the others. "There were no obvious injuries, so we couldn't find out the cause of death for the time being …"
"The seven bodies were obviously of different ages. Most of them had completely decomposed, but we could extract effective DNA." Zhang Peipei explained, "Last night, we worked overtime and extracted all the DNA from the seven skeletons. The laboratory is also working at full speed, trying to get the DNA data out as quickly as possible for comparison …"
"Mm …" Miao Ying nodded and said, "Just now, Director Zhang of the laboratory called me. They have already done the first one, and it has now been sent to the database for comparison!
As long as the victim's family leaves information in the missing persons database, we will soon know who she is! "
"Sister-in-law, oh no, Zhang Lizhu asked quickly," Let's get down to business first. Were all the seven bodies female? "
"Yes," Zhang Peipei nodded and said, "Just like the red bathtub case, the deceased were all young women, aged between 18 and 25 …"
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu exclaimed. "Seven girls were murdered! Zhang Fengyi is really ruthless! And she was buried at home. This case is much more serious than the Garbage Road Hidden Corpse Case at the Normal College! "
"Needless to say, there must be something wrong with Zhang Fengyi's mind. There are so many bodies at home, yet she still feels at ease …"
"Xiao Cui, it's too early to make such a conclusion," Miao Ying said objectively. "We still have to find out the exact time of death of these bodies before we can make any other inferences!
Zhang Fengyi died in 1994. If one of the bodies was hidden after 1994, it means that there is something fishy about this case! "
"Oh … Oh …" Cui Lizhu nodded and said, "That's true. If that's the case, the murderer might still be alive, and he must be someone close to Zhang Fengyi!
"At that time, Zhang Shixiong was still young, so … it can only be Zhang Shixiong's father? But that old man seems to be quite honest, and if he didn't tell us everything, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find these corpses, right? "
"But …" Zhang Peipei stopped what she was doing and said, "We made a hypothesis yesterday. The average weight of these murdered women was between 55 and 60 kilograms. According to Zhang Fengyi's information, she was only 1.55 meters tall and weighed 50 kilograms.
"In addition, Zhang Fengyi has a blood disease, and she often needs medication. Her body is already very weak, so …" Zhang Peipei said, "We need to make a reasonable argument, and we need to know the process of the victim's murder …
"Whether they knew the murderer, whether they were captured by the murderer somewhere else and sent to Zhang Fengyi's house, or whether they met with mishap when they went to Zhang Fengyi's house as a guest, all of this needs further investigation!"
"Um …" Miao Ying said. "The technical team examined the wine cellar, and the seal of the wine cellar had obvious traces of faults, which means that the owner of the house had sealed the wine cellar more than once!
"It's possible that she killed one person, hid the corpse, and sealed the wine cellar. Then, when she killed another person, she broke the seal, hid the corpse, and sealed the wine cellar again …"
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu said. "If that's the case, it means that these people were definitely not killed at the same time, and the time interval was very long!
"Sister Miao, I thought about the murderer's motive yesterday. I feel that if Zhang Fengyi was really the murderer, then she must have learned how to kill people from Peter!"
"Peter learned some kind of sacrificial ritual from Africa, which could save lives by killing people, just like in the Chinatown Detective!"
"After Peter died, Zhang Fengyi learned from her experience that she couldn't make it public after killing people. So, she chose to kill people in her own house and hide the corpse there …" Miao Ying said.
"Humph …" Zhang Peipei shook her head and said, "They are all advanced intellectuals, so how could they believe in such nonsense?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Zhang Fengyi is suffering from a terminal illness. She's desperate to live, so she believes in this kind of fallacy." Cui Lizhu retorted. "Anyway, she's already a dying person. Even if there's only one in a million hope, she dares to try!
"But, the truth is in front of us," Cui Lizhu said with a shrug. "Zhang Fengyi died at the age of 34, which means that this method of using living people as a sacrifice doesn't work at all!"
"Zhang Fengyi did it to prolong her life, but what about Peter?" Zhang Peipei asked. "What did he do it for?"
"He fell in love with Zhang Fengyi," Cui Lizhu guessed. "He killed those people to save Zhang Fengyi, didn't he?"
"Peter killed four people, and Zhang Fengyi killed seven, which adds up to eleven," Zhang Peipei said. "Are you saying that 11 young girls were needed to save Zhang Fengyi's life?"
"Who knows?" Cui Lizhu shook her head. "Anyway, Zhang Fengyi is the biggest suspect. The Red Bathtub Case was caused by her!"
"Team Leader Miao," Zhang Peipei stopped the discussion and turned to Miao Ying. "How are Zhang Shixiong and his parents? When they found out that there were dead bodies in the wine cellar, how did they react?"
"Two words can describe it." Miao Ying held up two fingers. "Shock! They were all scared, but Zhang Shixiong said that he didn't know anything, not to mention Zhang Shixiong's parents. They were almost sent to the hospital last night … "
"I still think that it would be too difficult for Zhang Fengyi to commit such a serious crime on her own," Zhang Peipei reminded her. "You should ask Zhang Shixiong's parents if there was anyone else around Zhang Fengyi."
"Mm … I got it!" Miao Ying nodded.
"Team Leader Miao, Team Leader Miao …" Zeng Ke suddenly appeared at the autopsy center. He excitedly reported to Miao Ying, "The database matches!
"The deceased may be Xie Xiaojun from 1989. Look …" He held the information and said, "Her hometown is Luotian County, and she was a female worker at a shampoo factory …"
"Shampoo factory …" Cui Lizhu asked, "Is it Piaorou or Head & Shoulders?"
"There was no Piaorou or Head & Shoulders in 1989," Zeng Ke replied. "The DNA data matches perfectly, and the police have found the missing person records. She disappeared on her way home from work one day. The factory is in Xinhuwan, next to the port, quite far from the city …"
"Oh?" Miao Ying frowned, then said, "Ask Zhang Shixiong's parents if they know Xie Xiaojun!
"If they know her, then that's another matter," Miao Ying said. "If they don't know her, does Zhang Fengyi really have an accomplice?!"
