"I'm a detective fan and I'm playing the role of the victim. After getting to know the character's heart, I really want to bring justice to the victims." Han Fei's expression was calm. No matter how one looked at him, he did not appear to be lying.
"Is this what it means to be in character?" Li Xue sat down across from Han Fei.
"Before I start, I need to ask you something first." Han Fei did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "If we work together to solve the human jigsaw case, what kind of effect will it have?"
"The human jigsaw case is an unsolved case from 10 years ago. Even now, many police officers are still worried about it. If we solve this case, then we'll be heroes." Li Xue took a sip of water. "You're an actor, you need fame. After such a big case is solved, there will be many media outlets coming to interview you. Other than the reward money, you'll gain many hidden benefits. That's even more important to me. If we can solve this case, the head of the crime unit will personally invite me back. "
It was clear that Li Xue wanted to return to the police force as soon as possible. That was one of the reasons why she had been so eager to help Han Fei.
"I don't care about money or fame now, I just want to build a good relationship with the police. Perhaps we'll cross paths again in the future." Han Fei was being honest. His honest demeanor was very touching.
"Let's cut to the chase. I'm also curious about the 8th victim's face." Li Xue took out her phone like she was looking for something.
"I don't have the victim's picture but I remember her face." Han Fei opened the computer software and used the auto-generating function to input all the information.
A moment later, a petite girl of about 14 years old appeared on his computer.
Staring at the picture, Li Xue's eyes were glued to the screen. About 10 seconds later, she took in a deep breath. "Kid, you're quite something. Now I believe what you've said."
"You didn't believe me before?"
"Not really. After all, a comedian like you has found important information about the Body Grafting Case. Any normal person would be shocked by that."
"But you haven't seen the real 8th victim. What if I've made up a picture to trick you?"
"Aren't you underestimating the police too much?" Li Xue took out her phone to show Han Fei another picture. The girl in the picture was eighty to ninety percent similar to the girl Han Fei drew. "The police deduced the age of the 8th victim based on the remains of the 8th victim's flesh and bones. We used the computer to simulate the child's appearance but we have not released it to the public."
"It seems that the police have more information than I thought, but this is even better." Han Fei planned to gather the information from both sides through Li Xue. "What do you think of this case? Or have the police locked onto a general area? "
"The murderer has a medium build and is slightly thin. He has a certain level of fighting and dissection skills, and he's very meticulous. Considering the special nature of the 8th victim, the murderer is very likely to have adopted an unregistered abandoned baby … "
Li Xue explained a lot and expanded Han Fei's train of thought.
"You're thinking the same thing as me, but you seem to have overlooked something." Han Fei pointed at Wei Youfu's picture and shared his speculation. He believed the killer knew Wei Youfu.
"Putting aside whether the killer knows Wei Youfu or not, to tell you the truth, the police have investigated everyone related to the victims." Li Xue logged into the police's internal database with her own identification. "From the owner to the workers, no one at the puzzle shop that you mentioned has committed the crime."
"Then can you help me investigate one more thing?" Han Fei wrote down Meng Changan's name on the paper. "I want to know if any of Meng Si's 3 sons know Wei Youfu."
"You think the frozen body case and the human jigsaw case are related by the same killer? But their modus operandi is completely different. Other than that, the 3 Meng brothers have alibis. Everything you're thinking about now, the police have considered it as well. "
"Even if the killer for the frozen body case and the human jigsaw case are not the same person, they must be related." Han Fei was so sure because he knew Meng Changan had predicted the human jigsaw case in the game.
Looking through the police report, Li Xue searched for a long time before she found a point in Meng Changan's and Wei Youfu's lives.
"According to the police report, a few days before the human jigsaw case, Meng Changan and Wei Youfu went to the same puzzle shop but they did not know each other, they were just strangers."
The police had to go through hundreds of people to search for clues, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack but Han Fei was different. He had a specific direction and the difficulty was much lower than the police. It was like an open book exam.
"Meng Changan also went to the same puzzle shop?" This time Han Fei was even more excited. "There's definitely something wrong with that shop! We can't just focus on the shop owner and the workers, we have to focus on all the customers that interacted with Wei Youfu at the shop! "
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Han Fei nodded confidently. Then he continued, "Other than that, there's something else I need to tell you. The 8th victim did not leave any trace on the internet. She was kept by the killer in a place that was isolated from the modern world. She lived inside a black house surrounded by a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see."
"How did you know all this?" Li Xue jotted down the hints Han Fei gave her.
"If I told you this was told to me by the victim herself, would you believe me?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I? A forensic doctor can make the victim talk, perhaps you have your own way. I'm not curious about that, I just want to solve the case as soon as possible. " Li Xue stood up. "The database from 10 years ago does not contain the information of the puzzle shop's customers. I'll go to my teacher's house now. He was involved in the human jigsaw case investigation 10 years ago and this case has been a thorn in his side."
"Okay."
"I'll contact you once there's a new development." After putting the information and phone into her bag, Li Xue turned back to look at the pictures of the victims on the wall. "From a certain perspective, you're quite professional as an actor."
"It's nothing, it's just a basic courtesy of an actor."
Han Fei was embarrassed. Ever since he started playing Perfect Life, there were more and more praises for him in real life.
After sending Li Xue off, Han Fei was about to go study criminal psychology when his phone rang.
"Director Jiang? Haven't I finished my scenes already? "
"After some discussion, we've decided to add more scenes for you. We'll make Wei Youfu the most typical of the 7 victims." Director Jiang was more polite to Han Fei now, perhaps he was impressed by Han Fei's acting.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
Han Fei hurried to Northern Street. When he arrived, all the workers were already there.
