The Case of Love

Chapter 49 Abandoned Well
"Okay, Brother Nanfeng knows his phone number, I'll ask." After saying that, Su Xiaohan took out his cell phone to make a call.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she saw a hint of displeasure on Zhou Yifeng's face, as if he didn't want her to mention Zhu Nanfeng. Su Xiaohan began to fantasize like a young girl, she suspected that Zhou Yifeng liked her, so he didn't like her to mention other men in front of him.

"Xiaohan, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Su Xiaohan's hand holding the phone hanging in the air, Zhou Yifeng waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Su Xiaohan came out of her pink world and said awkwardly: "Ah, nothing, I...I'll call right away!"

After that, she left the security room and called Zhu Nanfeng outside. Zhu Nanfeng sent her Zhang Yong's phone number on WeChat.

They left the security room together and walked around the ruins of the factory.

Zhou Yifeng suddenly said, "Xiao Han, find a way to find the floor plan of the factory and send it to me on WeChat."

"Well, okay, my sister should have it." Su Xiaohan didn't understand why Zhou Yifeng wanted the factory floor plan. However, she guessed that he must have thought of something. She didn't dare to ask more about the boss's ideas, so she just obeyed.

The two walked out together and got in the car. Zhou Yifeng suddenly asked, "Su Xiaohan, are you afraid of me?"

"Ah? No, why would I be afraid of you, Captain Zhou? I'm not afraid of you, I respect you!" Su Xiaohan reacted quickly.

"You don't have to be so reserved. Just be like Li Zhisong and the others!" Zhou Yifeng smiled at her, with stars shining in his eyes.

Su Xiaohan didn't know how to respond for a moment. She was indeed a little reserved in front of him, because she admired him and liked him, and she couldn't let him know this feeling.

On the way, Su Xiaohan sent a message to her sister, asking her if she had the floor plan of the garment factory. Su Xiaoxin was very curious and asked her why she suddenly wanted this. Su Xiaohan didn't want to hide it from her, so she told her what Zhu Nanfeng had investigated, and also told her that it was Zhou Yifeng who wanted the floor plan of the garment factory. However, she was afraid that her sister would worry, so she didn't tell her that she had just come out of the garment factory.

Knowing that Su Xiaohan's request for the floor plan was related to the truth of the garment factory fire, Su Xiaoxin immediately asked someone to find it, and soon sent the floor plan to Su Xiaohan via WeChat. Su Xiaohan forwarded the floor plan to Zhou Yifeng.

Zhou Yifeng pointed at the floor plan and said, "From this picture, if Zhang Yong saw someone climbing over the wall, he should be standing in this position. But why didn't the surveillance camera capture this video of someone climbing over the wall?"

"That's right. The police watched the surveillance video at the time and found nothing wrong, nor did they find anyone climbing over the wall." Su Xiaohan was also very confused.

Zhou Yifeng started the car while thinking. On the way, he invited her to have dinner with them again. Su Xiaohan couldn't refuse and agreed.

In the restaurant, seeing Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan appear together, Li Zhisong started to make a noise as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret: "Boss, Xiaohan, why are you two together? Didn't Xiaohan say she couldn't come? Are you hiding something from us?"

Although Zhou Yifeng was serious and strict at work, he was easy-going in private, and Li Zhisong and the others dared to joke with him. Seeing Li Zhisong's words, Zhu Xiaofeng and the others also asked: "Boss, you and Xiaohan won't..."

"What can't you do? Can you use your crooked minds to think about something more serious? Xiaohan and I went out to do something, so we came here together!" Zhou Yifeng glared at them both.

"What do you want to do together? Do you need our help?" Li Zhisong continued to ask fearlessly.

Su Xiaohan didn't want to tell them that she was going to re-investigate the garment factory fire case, so she didn't say anything. Zhou Yifeng said, "Wait, we'll need you when we need you!" Seeing how mysterious they were, Li Zhisong and the others were curious, but they all thought of that aspect. In their opinion, Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan were a perfect match, with the man being handsome and the woman being pretty.

After dinner, Li Zhisong and the others thought they were tactful and left first, so the task of sending Su Xiaohan home naturally fell to Zhou Yifeng. Thinking back to what Li Zhisong and Zhu Xiaofeng had said, Su Xiaohan became more and more uncomfortable, and there seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere in the car.

Along the way, the two spoke very little until they arrived at Su Xiaohan's house, where Zhou Yifeng promised her again that he would help her find evidence and reopen the garment factory fire case. Su Xiaohan thanked him and got out of the car, watching his car leave before entering the house.

After returning home, Su Xiaohan called Zhang Yong, who assured him that apart from seeing someone climbing over the wall, he knew nothing else.

Because there were no new cases, the police had a relatively idle time until one day, when villagers in Village F found a body in an abandoned well.

Zhou Yifeng led his team, forensic doctor Sun Yidan, and trace investigator Xiao Liu to the scene.

An abandoned farmland in F Village on the outskirts of the city is located in a remote area and few people have set foot in it. On this day, when villager Li was wandering in the farmland, he found something unusual in a little-known well in the farmland and immediately called the police.

When Zhou Yifeng and his companions arrived at the scene, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw a highly decomposed naked male corpse stuck upside down in a well that was only slightly larger than the diameter of a basketball.

This was not the first time Su Xiaohan had seen this kind of scene. After a brief moment of discomfort, she quickly returned to normal.

Li Zhisong, Zhu Xiaofeng and Ma Nan took great pains to pull the body out of the narrow well, and found that the body was too decomposed to be recognized. But judging from the body shape, the deceased was about 25-30 years old, about 1.80 meters tall and weighed about 70 kg. The scene was an abandoned farmland, desolate and desolate, with almost no valuable clues. After the body was "taken out", they found a tool axe at the bottom of the well.

"This murderer is too cruel. He killed the man and didn't even let him wear clothes!" Li Zhisong sighed.

"The murderer probably did this to prevent the identity of the deceased from being identified," Su Xiaohan speculated.

Zhou Yifeng looked at her approvingly, "Yes, that's the murderer's purpose!"

They searched the area but found no valuable clues. Judging from the degree of decay of the body, the victim had been killed for many days. During this period, there were many rains in the capital, and even if there were traces left by the murderer, they were washed away by the rain.

Next, they could only take the body and the axe from the scene back and look for clues through autopsy and trace examination to determine the identity of the victim.

After returning to the bureau, Sun Yidan quickly got to work and quickly told Zhou Yifeng the results. After the autopsy, it was determined that the deceased died of a comminuted fracture caused by a heavy blow to the back of the head. The time of death was estimated to be 3 months to 1 year. There were no fingerprints on the axe found at the scene.

After getting the results, Zhou Yifeng organized a meeting to discuss the case. He sat in the middle and motioned Su Xiaohan to express her thoughts first.

Su Xiaohan had almost finished thinking about it. When she heard his question, she analyzed, "First, the deceased was a young and strong male between the ages of 25 and 30, and was strong and healthy. So the murderer should be a young and strong man with a certain ability to act. Second, the body was dumped in a farm well that even the villagers rarely knew about, which shows that the murderer is familiar with the surrounding situation and is a local or someone who has lived here before. Third, the deceased was naked, which means that the murderer did not want the identity of the deceased to be identified by others. Therefore, the deceased is likely a villager, and the murderer is afraid that someone will recognize him."

"Xiao Han's analysis is very good! We can follow this clue to look for missing persons in the village and identify the victim." Zhou Yifeng agreed.
