Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 799: Rising to the Surface

    

ate ancient martial arts. The cultivation in the world of Xianxia is similar to that in the task world. When you first became a tasker, the requirements included bringing your own natal sword and cult..."Rest assured, officer. I understand the rules. I'll move out in the next two days and won't spread rumors around."

Wang Cuizhi immediately assured.

Sun Sanshan then closed her work notebook and, with the help of Team Leader Zhao, listed everything in the woven bag. She and Team Leader Zhao were the handlers, and she handed Wang Cuizhi a stamped note.

"Aunt Wang, we took Jiang Yiy's belongings. Keep this note. If anyone comes looking for her things, tell them to find us. The top has our office phone number."

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Cuizhi carefully put away the note after reading it.

As the visit ended, Zhao Fengnian was about to take Sun Shanshan back, but Sun Shanshan smiled and asked:

>

"Wang Da Jie, how did you resolve the dispute over your demolition compensation"

"Don't you know, officer"

Aunt Wang asked in surprise.

“We’re not in the same area as Xiao Dong, so I was just curious to ask.”

Sun Shanshan said with a smile.

My younger brother and I had a fight, which led us to the police station. When I presented my property deed, along with the document he signed years ago relinquishing his claim to the house in exchange for cash, and the notarized copy, he backed down!

Officer Xiao Dong even said, eight years ago this house had nothing to do with him, not a single cent. Even if he sued me, no one would accept the case.

Wang Cuizhi said with a slight air of pride.

"Big sister is really clever, how did you think of going to notarize"

"I know my younger brother best. He is the most selfish and self-serving person I know. Back then, he definitely wouldn't have looked at this worthless old yard. He had his eyes on the money Dad left behind, so he chose money. To silence others, he said he would give me the house. This way, it seemed like he wasn't treating me unfairly."

But as a daughter, I also have inheritance rights. It's not the old society anymore. My brother and his family know this very well. As long as I hold on tight, the money won't all go into his pocket.

But I feel sick about him and don't want to have anything to do with him, so I took the house. But all the necessary procedures were followed. Don't think that just because my sister is older, she doesn't know what she's doing. When the police station held legal education sessions, I was there listening attentively, so I blocked all his escape routes.

He signed everything so quickly to get me to stop worrying about the money. Isn't this a normal outcome given the circumstances!”

Sun Shanshan immediately gave Wang Cuizhi a thumbs up after hearing this, and she also exchanged contact information with her elder sister. The two then left the village.

"Zhao team, now ordinary people's awareness of law is increasing."

"This is the norm, rule of law isn't just an empty phrase."

Zhao Fengnian said with a smile.

"Come on, let's take the things back to the station first. Have Lemon forensics test the DNA on the clothing to see if it belongs to the deceased."

"Yes!"

The two continued on their journey back without stopping.

On the other side, Qian Siming and Lian Yi, after meeting the two people, also preliminarily determined that the owner of the phone was the Lulu in the painting. The rest is to find out the true identity of this person, and then they can follow the clues to investigate further.

The two of them had a quick lunch outside, then went to interview two more candidates from the list. They just made it back to the team before work ended.

Zhao Fengnian saw the two of them return in such a flurry, first pouring each of them a cup of chilled rice wine before asking:

"Lian Yi, Si Ming, did you harvest anything today"

"Yes! I've basically confirmed the number belongs to a woman, and based on the image, she appears to be a hostess. Now we need to find out who this person is, and then follow their social connections to see if we can locate her."

Qi Si-ming said directly.

The Household Registration Office hasn't given us any updates yet.

After Sun Sanshan came back, she went to the household registration office to inquire. They said they couldn't find any information about that person.

We also have some leads, and the identity of the victim in the dismemberment case is almost confirmed.

Zhao said, then nodded at Sun Shanshan.

Sun Shanshan, in a few words, told the two people all the news she and Team Zhao had found out during their visit today.

"Everything has been sent to Sister Lemon's place, and the test results will take another two days. She said she will help us expedite the process."

Sun Shanshan also added.

Li Qiang and Bai Ningyu haven't returned yet, they are estimated to go straight home from work. You guys can leave at the appointed time too. Tomorrow when they both arrive, we'll have a meeting to report on each person's progress over the past two days.

Zhao Fengnian waved his hand and said.

Everyone was tired, so the leader spoke up and everyone got off work on time.

At this moment, in the basement of a suburban villa, there is a naked woman hanging upside down, bound with ropes. Her body is covered in scars of varying depths, old wounds layered over new ones. Not a single piece of her skin is intact.

The woman's eyes were tightly shut, her breathing very faint. There was a blue tinge around her eyes, and there wasn't a trace of blood on her face. Her mouth was sealed with tape. If Qian Siming were here, he would certainly recognize this woman as Lulu from their sketches - the very owner they were looking for.

"Creak," the basement door swung open, and a man in slippers stepped down into the gloom. He fixed his gaze on the girl before him, a chilling smile spreading across his face. He reached out and gripped her neck, jolting her awake, then said coldly:

"Don't think that by feigning unconsciousness, I will let you off the hook."

“Ouch!” The woman was being choked, gasping for air. She twisted her neck desperately, trying to escape the man’s grip like a vise. Due to lack of oxygen, her eyes were bloodshot with tears welling up at the corners. A tear rolled down and landed on the man's finger, only then did he loosen his hold.

With a "rip," the man tore the tape off the woman's mouth. As she gasped for air with her mouth wide open, he bit down and kissed her. Fear flashed in her eyes, and she tried to turn away, but her chin was held firmly in his grasp.

"Baby, don't struggle. You know, the more you struggle, the more I enjoy it!"

The man's voice was like a spell, and the girl trembled all over, mumbling helplessly:

"I don't require you"

The rest of the words were choked in her mouth.

Then screams of pain from a woman echoed from the basement. The cries continued until the middle of the night, until the man left the basement satisfied.

Even though Ripples was back in her dorm, she was worried about Lulu who might be caught right now. So she asked Shiu:

"Is anyone still alive"

"Living."

"Don't let her die."

"I'll try my best."

The stone mill replied.

The next day, all the members of the Criminal Investigation Team One arrived at the captain's office on time and reported their work progress individually.

"We have preliminarily confirmed that the victim of the dismemberment case is Jiang Yiy, and we will wait for the test report for the rest."

Si Ming and Lian Yi found out that the last phone number dialed by their former captain belonged to a woman named Lulu. Her detailed information needs further verification, and the household registration department should have news in the next two days.

The

garbage dump where the body was dumped currently has no findings, but it is confirmed that this is not the first crime scene.

Before Zhao Fengnian could finish his words, someone knocked on the glass door.

"It's Lemon the Forensic Pathologist! The autopsy report should be out!", after clicking rapidly on its transparent surface for a moment, responded:"Ripple, I've already made the connection."Thank you! What was the original's wishThe original's desires had three points: f...
