Be in low spirits

"The body was kept in the refrigerator for a long time, and some of the organs inside were taken away, including the stomach. The method was very cruel." Lao Sui lifted the cloth covering the body. Zhixi ran out to masturbate before she saw the face... Li Li and Lao Sui looked at her running out, rolled their eyes at each other, and were speechless.

"The only fatal injury that can be confirmed is on the chest. It should be caused by a blunt object like an axe. However, this is also my judgment based on the degree of skin damage. It may not be very accurate. The skin on the ankles has traces of ropes. It should be tied up after death. This is all we have found so far."

Kong Zhixi stood at the door of the forensic room. When she heard the axe, she remembered the axe in her game guide. There was a rope hanging on the axe, and the rope was dripping with blood. She walked between the two people and asked, "Are there any traces of nylon on the ankle?"

"We don't have the technology and talent to do trace inspection here, so we can't do it, but we can still test fingerprints." Lao Sui explained.

"So it turned out to be true?" Kong Zhixi was still somewhat expectant, but the two of them shook their heads, breaking her fantasy.

"What should we do then?" She looked at Li Li, thinking that he should be able to find out the murderer.

"I'm asking you. Your job is to solve the case." He was still very serious, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Lao Sui was also looking at her. She was a little embarrassed and pretended to look at the girl's head, then lifted the white cloth and looked at her feet. As a result, she was excited again. Li Li gave her a bottle of mineral water and said, "If you really can't do it, find a place to rest."

She took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth with it, and spit it on the floor. She stared at his expressionless but extremely sarcastic face and said, "Who can't do it? Just wait!"

In the forensic room, Lao Sui was already sitting in front of the computer writing a report. She mustered up her courage, walked to the body, lifted the entire white cloth, put on gloves, and began to tinker with every detail on the body.

"Lao Sui, this girl must have a lot of sexual experience, right? Is there semen inside her?" She spread the girl's legs and took a look, but never dared to do anything. "Yes."

"Then we should be able to tell whose it is, right? Isn't that the problem?" Kong Zhixi thought this was too easy. It was just like that. Just as she was about to take off her gloves, Li Li came over and said to her, "There are no conditions for analysis here."

"Huh?" Kong Zhixi spoke like a deflated ball after hearing Li Li's answer.

Li Li raised an eyebrow at her and confirmed her doubt once again.

She continued to study the body and found that there were indeed traces of ropes tied around the ankles. The wounds must have been caused by being tied for a long time. She remembered that the deceased had delicate makeup and was dressed neatly on the day of her death, but now she had no shoes.

"She died without shoes?"

"Yes, but only one foot was worn, the other one was not seen." Lao Sui replied.

"She only wore one shoe, and the other one should be with the murderer. Could she be a foot fetishist?" she said to herself. "She had her makeup and hair done, and she was dressed neatly, even wearing earrings, but he only let her wear one shoe, and let her fall from the building in broad daylight. Isn't this a provocation?"

Li Li agreed with her somewhat and nodded.

"Let's go to the scene and take a look." She wanted to take off her gloves, but then she remembered the child in the painting, so she walked over to the body and spread her thighs apart. Sure enough, she saw a few slight stretch marks on the inside. "She has given birth to a child, and the child is not young anymore."

"Child? I didn't see that." Old Sui also came over to take a look, but he did not see those few fine stretch marks, and there were no traces of stretch marks on the deceased's abdomen. "There is a child, and the birth should have happened many years ago, so the stretch marks are not obvious." Kong Zhixi was very sure, she took off her gloves and pulled Li Li back to the crime scene.

The crowd at the scene had dispersed, the road surface was restored, and the upper floor was surrounded by warning tape. Kong Zhixi looked at the water on the ground and the stool in the corridor, and she put forward her guess: "If the murderer tied the person to this stool during the day, then... someone should have seen it. So the person was placed here when no one saw it, but the deceased fell during the day... So it was placed in advance and then pushed down during the day."

"Isn't your analysis all nonsense?" Li Li said unhappily while holding a lollipop in his mouth.

"Shut up. Have you found where she works? Go check it out." Kong Zhixi took his lollipop and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road. Li Li stared at the lollipop in the trash can with his eyes wide open, muttering, "Why is he still so irritable?"

Before going downstairs, Kong Zhixi raised her hand and shouted, "Let's go." She looked so cool as if this place had become her home.

When they arrived at the hotel, Li Li asked the front desk to find the person in charge. Kong Zhixi stared at the hotel and asked, "Are all hotels doing this kind of business so blatantly now?"

"Didn't I tell you? The main thing is that no one will care. This is their own choice. There are causes and consequences. It's not illegal."

Kong Zhixi looked at Li Li in disbelief and thoughtfulness, and silently raised the thumb of her left hand, "Oh~ That's awesome." She nodded as she said this.

"Hello, Officer Li, I'm the person in charge of the hotel. You can just call me Xiao Chen. Is there any problem?" The person in charge came hurriedly, looking as if he didn't know anything yet.

"Hello, the sultry girl from your hotel's Cauliflower Group died this morning. I want to know if she has any abnormalities recently."

"What? Dead? She hasn't come to work for several days. We called her many times, and every time someone answered the phone, but no one spoke and then the phone was turned off." Xiao Chen also expressed shock, looking like he couldn't quite believe it.

"Did she behave in any unusual way before she disappeared? Did she have any friends or people she kept in regular contact with in this area?" Li Li continued to ask as usual.

"Well... there was a man before who would stand far away from the hotel to pick her up after get off work at around 7 or 8 in the morning. As for the others... there were also a few young ladies and stuff, basically they introduced clients to each other and so on." Xiao Chen seemed to be a little panicked and started looking around.

"Do you know who that man is? Is there any video or surveillance?"

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there." So the three of us went to the underground monitoring room together. Xiao Chen searched for a long time before finding the videos and logs that he had saved before. Kong Zhixi felt strange. Although it was a monitoring room, there were no cabinets or server equipment, only a large screen and a few computers. There was no one else guarding the monitoring room, but the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall was very conspicuous.

"Aren't videos generally only stored for 30 days? Why do you still have videos from a year ago? And where are your switches or servers?" Kong Zhixi asked.

The two looked at her in confusion, without answering, and continued to open the video. After searching for a long time, she finally found the man. He was indeed standing far away, and her face could not be seen clearly, but Kong Zhixi remembered that the clothes he wore were the man in the guide! "He is the murderer!" She couldn't help but shout.

"How do you know? What evidence do you have?" Li Li's question stumped her again. "Why don't you just ask him?" She felt a little guilty.

"Do you know who this person is?" Li Li turned and asked Xiao Chen.

"I heard it was her husband, but no one knows his name."

Li Li turned to look at Kong Zhixi again, and the clue was broken again at this moment.

Kong Zhixi pulled the mouse over and zoomed in on his clothes. She thought they looked like work clothes and judged that he was a blue-collar worker. "Judging from his clothes, he should be a worker. Is there any factory or unit here that wears clothes like this?"

"I'll ask Xiao Zhao to check it out."

Kong Zhixi nodded. It seemed that many clues came from Xiao Zhao, but she had never seen this person.

"Well... since we've found out, does that prove that our hotel has nothing to do with this matter?" Xiao Chen asked nervously.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it exists or not." Li Li spoke in an official tone. "Let's go back to the bureau." He called to Kong Zhixi.

Kong Zhixi sat in the car and felt something was wrong. What was Xiao Chen so nervous about? "Is there something wrong with this hotel?"

"Maybe, but we have to find this man first. Or, give you a cell phone first." Li Li said after looking at her hands for a few seconds.

"Is this true? You can even use mobile phones here. Are there any online games or apps like WeChat?" Kong Zhixi was quite interested in this.

"We can only make a video call. Fu Yan seems to be looking for you all the time."

"Looking for me? Where can I get a new phone?"

"It'll be there soon."

Then they came to a telephone booth on the roadside, where Li Li dialed a few numbers, then asked Kong Zhixi to stretch out her hand, and slapped her hand hard, and then the phone appeared in her hand. Kong Zhixi grimaced in pain and cursed, but Li Li didn't hear a word, and the beeping sound rang again around them.
