"What case do you want to report?" Xiao Yu, the police officer on duty, didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just some petty theft, and asked casually.

"Homicide."

"What? Murder!" Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open. He had worked in the police station for two years, and no one had ever come directly to the police station to report a murder.

"Did you kill someone?"

"No, I didn't kill anyone." The middle-aged man shook his head, "My friend found the body."

"What body was found?" As soon as Chief Chen entered the room, he heard someone talking about a murder case. This was a big deal.

The middle-aged man turned around, saw Chief Chen, and waved to him.

"Director Chen, I was looking for you."

"It's Lawyer Hu. Why are you here today? Who did you say found the body?"

Chief Chen also recognized the middle-aged man in front of him. His name was Hu Weiqiang, and he was one of the most famous criminal lawyers in Jingzhong City. He had dealt with him several times and they had some friendship.

"It was my friend Zhao Wei. He found a woman's body the night before yesterday, or to be exact, in the early hours of yesterday morning."

"The body was found early yesterday morning. Why are you reporting it now?" Chen was a little confused.

"Let him speak for himself."

Lawyer Hu moved sideways and let Zhao Wei come to the front. At this time, Xu Mo and the others heard that Zhao Wei was coming and also ran over.

With so many people surrounding him, Zhao Wei was obviously a little nervous.

Lawyer Hu comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Tell Chen what you told me."

Seeing the beads of sweat on his forehead, Chief Chen told him to relax and sit down and talk slowly.

Zhao Wei licked his lips and said, "It's like this. A thief stole something from my car yesterday, and these two officers caught the thief."

He pointed at Zhang Qiang and Su Xiaoxiao standing beside him.

"They asked me to come over to take a statement, but I waited for a long time and no one came to take a statement with me. Then I had something to do at home, so I left first. Who knew that I would find this when I was packing the trunk at night."

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of hair wrapped in tissue paper from his bag and handed it to Chen.

"What is this?" Chen took the hair, a little confused. Zhang Qiang and the others looked at each other without saying anything.

"I didn't remember why there was a hair on my car, and I didn't take it seriously, because I was drinking and singing with a bunch of friends at Emperor KTV until the early morning the night before, and I was so drunk that I forgot how I got home. And I'm not a good drinker, so I might have been drunk and made a prank by knocking off some hostess's hair."

Su Xiaoxiao thought, you are quite good at making up stories, please continue with your performance.

"I always do some ridiculous things when I'm drunk, so I didn't take it seriously. I thought at most I could give her some more money to compensate her next time I see her, and then everything would be fine.

But this morning when I woke up, I had some more images in my mind. At first I thought it was a dream. But later I called the driver to ask him about it, and then I realized that I seemed to be in trouble. This hair was not taken from the hostess. "

Zhao Wei frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

"It was already past two o'clock after we finished drinking that day, so I asked my dad's driver to come pick me up. The driver said that halfway through the drive, I had to go to the bathroom urgently, so he had no choice but to stop the car, so I went to find a place to go. He said that when I came back, it seemed like I was holding something in my hand, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

The image that came to my mind this morning was that I saw a woman lying on the ground. I thought she was a hostess. She ignored me when I talked to her, so I got angry and cut off her hair.

When I was awake, I recalled the woman's appearance. She was lying there motionless with her eyes wide open. It should not be a living person, but a corpse. I, I actually..."

Zhao Wei had a frightened expression on his face.

Lawyer Hu took over his words: "In the morning, Zhao Wei came to see me. I am the legal advisor of their company and I am very familiar with both father and son. When he told me the situation, I advised him to report the case.

He was very scared at the time, afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain the matter clearly and that the police would think he had murdered the person.

I told him that there was no way to avoid the matter, but he didn't need to be afraid. He didn't kill anyone, so just tell the truth. He had to believe that the police would not wrongly accuse a good person.

So, I brought him here to report the case.”

Su Xiaoxin said carefully, it was just as she thought.

After taking the photos yesterday, she wanted to put everything back to its original state so as not to alert the enemy, but when she put her hair back, she suddenly changed her mind.

Sometimes scaring a snake is not necessarily a bad thing, so instead of putting the hair back to its original state, the author deliberately left a flaw.

This flaw may not be noticed by people who have nothing to hide, but it will definitely scare people who have something to hide.

She knew that Zhao Wei was not the murderer. In this case, he had only come into contact with Liu Lijuan's body.

But for a person who would even cut off the hair of the dead, his obsession with hair is definitely not just an ordinary obsession. It is very likely that he has taken more violent measures to obtain the hair, such as killing people to get their hair.

Seeing that his hair had been touched and that the other person was at the police station, he would have thought that someone had discovered the matter with his hair, or that the police had noticed something unusual about his hair and so tricked him into coming to the police station to take a statement, but took this opportunity to search his trunk.

If he had really done something more serious, it would not be a good thing for him to be noticed by the police. And sooner or later the woman's body would be discovered, and then someone would notice that her hair was missing, and the police would associate it with him.

If something else is found out, it would be more trouble than gain.

Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao deliberately left a loophole in order to alert the enemy.

She was betting that he would sacrifice the car to save the driver.

Dump the body, admit to making a small mistake, and divert the police's attention.

Anyway, he is not afraid of investigation in this matter, because he really did not kill the person.

Take the initiative to report the case, so that the police will not focus on the trivial matter of cutting his hair, but will make every effort to track down the murderer.

As she expected, Zhao Wei took the initiative to report the case.

But Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be happy, because this also indirectly proved that Zhao Wei had really done something more terrible.

However, this is not what she needs to consider now. Her first priority is to find the murderer of Liu Lijuan. Other things can only be discussed later.

Seeing that Zhao Wei didn't seem to be lying, Chief Chen asked him, "Do you remember where you found the body?"

"Actually, I can't remember clearly. The driver said that the place where he stopped to let me get off was near Jingji Building."

Jingji Building is quite famous in Jingzhong City because although it was unfinished, it is still in a good location in the city.

In the past few years, Jingzhong City has developed rapidly, especially the real estate industry, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

The boss of Jingji Group was not originally in the real estate business, but he was jealous of others making a lot of money and wanted to get a piece of the real estate market, so he paid a high price to acquire the land of Kingkey Building and planned to build a high-end office building.

The construction started with great fanfare, but unexpectedly, the economy declined in the past two years and the real estate industry was the hardest hit.

The residential sector is relatively better, but office buildings have been hit the hardest. Existing office buildings cannot be sold and their prices have been cut in half. No one is optimistic about real estate projects anymore and even investors who have been approached are unwilling to come in.

The capital chain broke when the house was half built. Not only did the company not make any money, but it ended up owing a lot of debt. It couldn't find anyone to take over the house, so it just rotted there.

When Chen Suo and his team arrived at Jingji Building, what they saw was the ruins of a half-built high-rise, with exposed steel bars and concrete, piles of bricks and tiles, and garbage mixed with mud and water. It was so ugly that it looked like a scar carved on a prosperous city.

It is indeed a good place to kill people and hide bodies.

Chen asked Zhao Wei to identify the location of the body.

Zhao Wei pointed to a pile of discarded bricks and stones and said that it seemed to be nearby, but he was too drunk to remember the exact location.

Chief Chen asked the police officers to spread out and search everywhere.

Soon, a discovery was made.

A man who looked like a migrant worker walked out of the ruins, holding a floral skirt in his hand. When he looked up and saw the police, he was stunned for a moment, dropped the skirt, turned around and ran away.

Upon seeing this, several police officers immediately chased after him and stopped him.

"Why are you running?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Comrade police officer, I, I, I didn't do anything." The man said he did nothing, but his body was honest and his legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the floral skirt. She recognized it as Liu Lijuan's and held it in front of the man.

"I didn't do anything, so where did this skirt come from?"
