Eye of Sin

Chapter 671 Beating
Ning Shuyi was a little amused and helpless.

This young couple must have cried so hard before, otherwise their voices wouldn't be so hoarse now.

After the interrogation was completed, the two people refused to get off the car no matter what, saying that it was getting dark outside and they were too scared. Their legs were too weak to ride the shared bikes, so they asked to go back with the criminal police team's car later.

Such a request was not excessive, so Ning Shuyi agreed to it.

The young couple expressed their fear again, thinking the police car had a "strong yang energy", so they decided to sit inside and not get out.

After hearing their request, Ning Shuyi looked a little embarrassed.

"Please, police sister, I'm really scared!" The girl in the couple pleaded with Ning Shuyi in tears, "Just let us sit in this car! We will cooperate with your work, just take care of us, please!

We just sit here quietly, touching nothing and not going anywhere!"

"It's not that I don't want you to sit in the car," Ning Shuyi had been trying to explain it to them, but the couple was so frightened that they kept talking and begging her for permission, so she had no chance to say, "I just want you to change the car, that's all.

This car belongs to the forensic doctor, they will bring back the victim’s body soon…”

After hearing this, the girl screamed again, opened the car door in a panic and ran out, her legs went weak and she fell against the side of the car.

Her boyfriend wasn't in a much better condition, barely managing to not fall down. The two of them, looking embarrassed, supported each other and followed Ning Shuyi to sit in the back seat of the SUV.

"Officer, why didn't you tell me earlier that the truck was used to transport corpses..." The girl rubbed her arms, still in shock, "Oh my God, I was scared to death..."

"I wanted to tell you, but you two kept complaining that your legs were weak and you couldn't walk another step. I had no choice." Ning Shuyi was a little helpless and looked at the time. "You should just rest here for a while. We will send you back after we finish dealing with it here."

After settling the young couple who had reported the case, Ning Shuyi returned to the unfinished villa.

This villa is considered to be one of the most highly built in the area. At least the outer walls have been sealed, but the interior appears much simpler. The stairs leading to the second and third floors are just the simplest cement steps with no guardrails on both sides. It looks bare and not very safe.

There is no glass installed on the windows of the villa. The original design may have been to ensure good lighting and ventilation, but now it is in a state of being windy from all directions. The house is littered with broken stones and cement, and is bumpy and uneven.

Ning Shuyi came to the third floor, where the body of the deceased was lying. There was plenty of light here, and everything was clearly visible.

Huo Yan was waiting for her at the stairs. When he saw her coming up, he asked, "How is the reporter?"

"I settled down in the car and was very scared. What's going on inside?" Ning Shuyi replied.

"The on-site inspection is basically over, and the people have just been unloaded." Huo Yan pointed to the high roof above his head, "Originally, they were hanging on the concrete beams."

Ning Shuyi nodded, mentally prepared to see a hanged corpse.

But when she and Huo Yan got closer, they found that the situation seemed a little different from what she expected.

The deceased was a man who looked young, in his early twenties. His upper body was wearing a bloodstained T-shirt, but his lower body was too exposed, and it was clearly visible. However, his lower body was as bad as his upper body, or even worse, and his skin was almost torn apart. At a glance, there was not a single piece of intact skin.

Only that face did not look too seriously injured, and there were no facial features that would cause mechanical asphyxiation due to the rope strangling the trachea.

"Wasn't this man strangled or hanged?" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised.

"No," Forensic Doctor Zhang, who came to handle the scene, waved his hand at her. "The deceased had countless blunt force trauma all over his body. I think he was tied up and hung on a beam, and then beaten with a stick or something. The beating caused a traumatic rupture of the spleen, which led to his death."

"A real beating?" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing since she became a police officer.

"That's right, the kind where they were hung up and beaten." Forensic Doctor Zhang shook his head. "Looking at the extent of this, there is a big contradiction!"

Apart from the bloodstains on the ground, the ground was very rough and covered with lumpy cement particles, so only an incomplete shoe sole pattern was collected, and nothing else was found.

So everyone quickly dealt with the scene, put the deceased into a body bag, carried it downstairs, loaded it into a truck and took it away.

On the way back, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan took the young couple who reported the case back to their residence. The two were scared like two frightened quails from beginning to end, trembling with fear and not saying a word. When they got out of the car at their residence, they supported each other and hurried home.

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The two people who claimed to be senior horror movie fans were not afraid of those grinning, ferocious monsters, but were almost scared to death when they came across the crime scene.

It turns out that everyone is very rational at heart.

No matter how visually impactful fake ghosts are, they can never really hurt people, so people can always enjoy the safe excitement.

The real crime scene is just a corpse hanging there quietly, motionless, with no possibility of any reaction, but it still makes people feel deep uneasiness and fear from the bottom of their hearts.

When the two returned to the team, the identity of the deceased had been confirmed.

The deceased was named Jia Hui, 22 years old, unemployed, a native of W City, and lived with his grandmother who was over 80 years old.

Judging from the time of death, it should have been more than 48 hours, but there is no record of his relatives or other people going to the police station to report Jia Hui's disappearance.

In other words, nearly three days had passed and no one had noticed that Jia Hui was missing.

Or maybe no one tried to contact him during this period and discovered that he was missing.

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of person was Jia Hui when he was alive? Why was he so hated when he was alive, so much so that people hung him up and beat him to death? And no one cared about him after he died. If he hadn't been found by accident, there wouldn't even be a report of his disappearance.

Sorry, sorry, it's even later... The kids are at home on the high school entrance exam holiday recently, so I'm a bit confused about time... There will be extra chapters in the evening for those who buy monthly tickets!
