Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 180 Treasure
Song Haichen ignored their words and continued to record his statement.

"Have you ever moved the body?"

"No, no." The three men denied repeatedly.

"When you found the body, was there anything unusual around you?" Song Haichen asked.

The three men thought for a while, you look at me, I look at you.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"No, I didn't find out."

"I didn't find out either."

Song Haichen: "Did you record videos, take photos, and post them on social media?"

The three men were dumbfounded.

Although they didn't make a sound, their frozen expressions had already answered for them.

Song Haichen spread his hands: "Hand over your mobile phones. You can't take pictures, record videos, or post them on the Internet. This will affect the handling of the case."

Song Haichen had a firm attitude and asked them to hand over their phones and unlock the screen. He carefully checked their phones and deleted the photos or videos stored in their phones, as well as the relevant information they posted on Moments or the Internet. .

While Song Haichen was doing this, Zhuang Xun came over.

"Captain Zhuang!" Song Haichen straightened his waist and greeted Zhuang Xun loudly when he saw Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun nodded: "You are busy with your work, I have a few questions to confirm with them."

"Okay!" Song Haichen continued to check the mobile phones of the three men.

Zhuang Xun's deep brown eyes swept across the three men one by one.

The three men were swept away by his sharp eyes, and their backs couldn't help but straighten a little.

Obviously the man in front of them looked younger than them, but the cold and calm aura he carried made their hearts tremble, and they were too nervous to act rashly.

"Have you ever moved the corpse?" Zhuang Xun asked.

The three men shook their heads.

"Not moving."

"Not moving."

"Not moving."

"When you went in, was the body on the ground?" Zhuang Xun asked again.

The three men quickly recalled.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Is there any trace of the corpse being moved from the bed to the ground?" Zhuang Xun asked.

This time, the three men thought about it for a long time.

"Probably not. As soon as we entered, the male body was on the ground, near the front of the bed." Man A said.

Zhuang Xun nodded, indicating that he understood.

He turned around and entered the abandoned building, and searched for it with the police officers.

It was already afternoon when they finished work.

Sitting in the police car returning to the station, Zhuang Xun took out his mobile phone to check the time, and only then did he see the message Wen Mi sent him in the morning.

As he expected, he was unable to reply to this message. He sent a message to Wen Mi, but he couldn't send it.

"Captain Zhuang, what do you think of the male corpse case this time? Do you think it was the serial murderer who did it?" Guan Xisheng said.

Zhuang Xun pressed off the screen of the phone, and unconsciously rubbed the back of the phone with his fingers, pondering.

"Judging from the place where the body was dumped and the cause of death, it is quite similar to the first three cases."

"But?" Guan Xisheng guessed that Zhuang Xun might have discovered something, and he raised his eyebrows lightly at Zhuang Xun with a smile, throwing him a turning point.

"However..." Zhuang Xun continued: "The death state of the deceased is different from the previous three incidents."

"Why is it different?" Guan Xisheng asked.

Song Haichen, who was driving in the front row, also pricked up his ears and listened distractedly.

"The first three female corpses were all found in the abandoned buildings of the Republic of China, and the corpses were all decayed to varying degrees." Zhuang Xun said.

Guan Xisheng replied: "Yes, we also speculated that the murderer might be very interested in the abandoned buildings—especially the ones of the Republic of China—so he dumped all the corpses there."

"Have you ever noticed that the bodies of the female victims in the first three cases were all well placed. If their bodies hadn't rotted, they would have looked as if they were just asleep," Zhuang Xun said.

Guan Xisheng recalled the relevant files he had read, and remembered.

"Indeed. The first female corpse, I remember, had her hands folded on her chest, the second female corpse had her hands next to her body, and the third one was the same as the second one. "

Zhuang Xun nodded: "But the male corpse found today was thrown on the ground very casually. The posture was not carefully placed, and the hands were placed casually."

Guan Xisheng was awakened by Zhuang Xun, and suddenly said: "You said so, it is indeed so."

He asked again: "Is there something wrong with that bed? I see you stared at the bed for a long time."

"There is no bed in the room where the first three female bodies were found," Zhuang Xun said.

"Probably not, there is no relevant information written in the materials." Guan Xisheng said.

Zhuang Xun pondered: "I was wondering, if there were beds in the room where the female corpses were found in the first three cases, would the murderer put their corpses on the bed?"

Guan Xisheng was at a loss: "Why should I put it on the bed if there is one? Is there anything special about it?"

"Judging from the posture of the murderer's corpses, the murderer is very fond of the first three female corpses..." Zhuang Xun was silent for a while, looking for a suitable word: "...precious."

"Treasure?" Guan Xisheng murmured.

Zhuang Xun nodded: "Yes, it is very precious. He didn't want to destroy their bodies. Even if they were dead, the murderer wanted them to look as if they were asleep. However, for the male corpses in today's case, the murderer was It's casual, it doesn't matter."

Guan Xisheng understood what Zhuang Xun wanted to express.

"Do you think today's case is a copycat crime, and the murderer is someone else?" Guan Xisheng said.

"I don't know, we can't make such a conclusion yet," Zhuang Xun said, "It can't be ruled out that this may also be done by the same murderer."

Guan Xisheng nodded: "We first confirm the identity of the deceased, and then investigate his social and family relations. Basically, we can determine whether it is the same murderer."

Zhuang Xun nodded in agreement with Guan Xisheng's search ideas.

Back at the police station, everyone was busy with their duties.

With a new case, and it may still be related to the serial murders that spanned ten years, Zhuang Xun was very busy.

By the time he came back to his senses, it was already past the time to get off work.

Zhuang Xun ordered a takeaway and continued to work overtime after eating casually.

As the night wore on, he was alone in the office.

Zhuang Xun was reading the files of the first three cases carefully when his mobile phone on the table vibrated a few times.

The office where he was alone seemed particularly quiet, so even the vibrating sound of the mobile phone was particularly obvious.

Zhuang Xun picked up his phone, it was Wen Mi who sent him a message.

[Wen Mi: Are you off work? 】

[Wen Mi: Are you home yet? 】

[Wen Mi: Can I take the video? 】

Zhuang Xun's original calm expression eased, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied warmly.

【Zhuang Xun: Yes】

Not long after the message was sent, Wen Mi made a video call.

Zhuang Xun quickly connected.

Wen Mi looked at Zhuang Xun's background and said in surprise, "Are you still working overtime?"
