Chapter 310 Identifying the Corpse

Liu Tuiguan shook his head: "There is no list. There are really too many female visitors to Tianyuan Temple, and the female body had been dead for a while when her body was found. There is no way to start the investigation from the pilgrims."

"Just judging from the scars on the body of the female body that the murder weapon was a hairpin does not rule out the suspicion of the monks from Tianyuan Temple. Not to mention that hairpins are too easy to obtain, men also use them to tie their hair, and there are many sharp things similar to hairpins..."

Liu Tuiguan said that Prince Jing was really straightforward in his words. Because of the difference in status between the two, there was no resentment: "The monks in Tianyuan Temple have asked, but it took at least a month for the person to die before being discovered. So far, no one has been found."

It is impossible to find out his identity and find the suspect through investigation."

Qi Shuo looked away from the case file: "The deceased found yesterday was killed not long ago. Do you have any clues about his identity?"

Liu Tuiguan smiled bitterly: "Because there is no head, it is difficult to find out the identity for a while."

"Master Liu, have you asked the counties under your jurisdiction, especially the two capital counties, to see if people have reported missing family members in recent days? If so, if the age and gender of the missing person can match the headless female corpse, you can ask

Come and identify the body."

Liu Tuiguan looked ashamed: "I was busy looking for clues at the scene yesterday and didn't come back until dark. I didn't have time to ask questions."

He immediately arranged for people to go to two county offices to question him.

There were officials at Tianyuan Temple who continued to investigate. Qi Shuo did not rush to the scene, but waited for news from the county government together with Liu Tuiguan.

The two county offices were both in the capital, and it didn't take long for a reply to arrive.

There were five missing cases reported in Dongcheng County and three missing cases in Xicheng County in three months, for a total of eight missing cases, four of which were missing children, two missing girls, one adult man, and one old woman.

Regardless of other circumstances, the two reporters who reported the girl missing were soon invited to the government office.

"I've met Mr. Qingtian."

Liu Tuiguan called the two of them to stand up in a warm voice.

There were two reporters, one was an old man in his fifties, and the other was a woman in her thirties.

"I'll tell you about your granddaughter first."

The old man rubbed his eyes, his voice full of bitterness: "Caomin's granddaughter is called Lanhua, and she is sixteen years old. Five days ago, Lanhua said she had an appointment with her friends to pick wild vegetables, but she didn't come back until dark. Caomin went to her friend's house.

After asking around, the girl said that Lan Hua picked a basket of wild vegetables and left first... The grassroots people looked everywhere but couldn't find anyone, so they went to report to the official..."

The old man knelt down as he spoke: "Lanhua's parents left early, leaving this granddaughter to depend on each other. I beg you to help the common people find your granddaughter back..."

Liu Tuiguan comforted her and asked the woman again.

The woman's eyes were swollen, and she had obviously been crying for the past few days: "The little woman's daughter is called Yan'er. She is fifteen years old. She said she went out to play the day before yesterday, but she never came back. The little woman went to ask her about her usual habits.

All the friends I played with said they had never seen her that day..."

The sound of a woman crying could be heard in the hall.

Liu Tuiguan glanced at Qi Shuo and saw that the other party had no intention of speaking. He sighed secretly and said: "Yesterday, a female corpse was found in Tianyuan Temple. It is estimated that she is between fourteen and twenty years old -"

"Sir, are you saying that something happened to Cao Min's granddaughter?"

"Yan'er, my Yan'er!"

Liu Tuiguan hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, please come here just to identify the body."

The old man and the woman looked at each other and both looked at Liu Tuiguan.

The look in his eyes made Liu Tuiguan unable to bear to look at it any longer, and he reminded him tactfully: "It's just that the corpse is a bit scary, so you two need to be prepared."

"How scary?" the woman asked immediately.

The old man also stared closely at Liu Tuiguan.

Liu Tuiguan hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "There is no head."

No head?

After the old man and the woman reacted, their faces turned pale. One was shaking, and the other was covering her mouth in tears.

A group of people came to the place where the body was temporarily parked.

It was a bright sunny day, but it was cold and cold in the morgue, which made people feel chilly.

Liu Tuiguan stopped and didn't come any closer: "It's right there, you two can go and take a look -"

The old man walked a few steps and couldn't walk anymore. His whole body was shaking violently.

On the contrary, the woman was obviously very frightened, but she dragged her heavy footsteps closer step by step, and walked to the body covered with white cloth.

The yamen servant stretched out his hand to lift up the white cloth, but the woman stopped him: "I...I will do it myself..."

The yamen officer looked at Liu Tuiguan, saw Liu Tuiguan nodded, and took a step back silently.

The woman stared at the corpse through the white cloth, her eye circles getting redder and redder, and finally gathered enough courage to lift off the shroud.

Even though she was fully prepared mentally, the moment she saw the headless body, the woman couldn't help but scream in surprise and backed away.

The old man closed his eyes and then opened them, but first he saw the corpse clearly.

"It's not an orchid!" the old man shouted with joy.

Liu Tuiguan immediately asked: "Why is the old man so sure?"

The old man was a little excited, but tried his best to suppress his emotions, so that his expression was a little distorted: "My orchid is black and strong!"

Although the female corpse has become corrupted, a person's background can still be seen. This headless female corpse has slender hands and feet and delicate skin. It can be imagined that she is a fair-skinned and graceful girl.

"The orchid is strong. This is not an orchid, not an orchid -" The old man was incoherent and stopped suddenly when he saw the stunned woman.

The woman woke up from a dream, rushed over and held the board with her hands, staring at the corpse.

In just a few breaths, she burst into tears: "Yan'er, my mother's Yan'er! How could you do this, how could you do this!"

Seeing that the woman was about to pounce on the corpse, the government officer quickly stopped her.

Qi Shuo walked over: "Sister-in-law, are you sure this is your daughter?"

"It can't be wrong." The woman covered her face with her hands, tears welling up from the gaps between her fingers, "There is a birthmark on Yan'er's wrist, the location and shape are exactly the same..."

Qi Shuo nodded towards Liu Tuiguan.

Liu Tuiguan understood and ordered his men to bring the old man and the woman back to the hall.

The woman kept crying, and the old man became silent after the initial rejoicing.

Even if the body identified today is not that of the granddaughter, it does not mean that the granddaughter is safe. Besides, no one feels comfortable looking at a mother who has lost her daughter.

"I can go back first. I will arrange for someone to find out the whereabouts of your granddaughter."

"Thank you, sir." The old man kowtowed to Liu Tuiguan.

In Beijing, many people go missing every year, especially young children. It is almost impossible to expect the government to find them, and many people will not even report them to the government.

As for murder cases, there are actually more unsolved cases than solved cases.

The old man left, leaving the woman crying bitterly. Liu Tuiguan wanted to ask questions several times, but seeing Qi Shuo waiting quietly, he patiently gave the woman time to vent her emotions.

Finally, the woman stopped crying and knelt down in front of the two of them: "I beg you, sir, to find the murderer of my daughter!"

Qi Shuo helped the woman up and asked warmly: "Sister-in-law, do you still remember the specific time when your daughter went out?"

? ? ? It was almost 11pm when I came home from doing errands yesterday, and I have to take my child to the hospital today. The update time may be a little later in the past two days.
