Chapter 496: Personally Search For Evidence
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During the day, Shi Man obediently handled her own matters in the company. However, at night, she transformed into an omnipotent agent and sneaked into the police station’s morgue at night.
There were some clues that she had to personally investigate to grasp the ins and outs in detail.
Xiao Hui had fallen from the middle of the building and hit his head on the hard stone on the ground, causing his death on the spot. Otherwise, he would at most be paralyzed and crippled.
She took off the white cloth covering the corpse. The corpse was cold, and the smell had gotten more pungent.
However, Shi Man seemed to have completely lost her sense of smell. She lowered her eyes without changing her expression and carefully observed every trace left on the corpse’s surface under the weak light.
Xiao Hui was only 19 years old this year, and he was still at the age where appearance was the most important. Almost every day, after returning to the dormitory from the construction site, he would go to the shower hall to take a shower. His skin looked clean and fair, and it was impossible to tell that he usually worked outdoors.
What was worth noting was that there was an obvious burn mark on Xiao Hui’s right arm. From the shape of the scar, Shi Man guessed that it was very likely burned by a cigarette butt.
As he had died from falling from a high altitude, there were many external injuries on the surface of the corpse caused by the violent impact. Shi Man automatically ignored these and flipped over the corpse to check his back.
No moonlight could leak into the morgue at night. The only thing in charge of lighting was the pale fluorescent bulb above their heads.
The cold corpse was covered in a layer of frost. Under the light, one could vaguely see the cold air rising around the corpse.
The girl fiddled with the corpse in her hand expressionlessly, as if she was fiddling with an ordinary toy. After she checked it carefully, she placed the corpse back into the freezer unhurriedly.
It was already ten in the evening.
The police officer on duty was patrolling the corridor outside as usual. When he heard a soft click from the morgue, he immediately arched his back in horror and shone his flashlight nervously at the door.
Shi Man sensed a strong light seeping in through the crack in the door. Her eyes turned cold as she quickly turned around and leapt out of the window. Before she left, she went to the evidence department. After finding Xiao Hui’s phone, she connected it to her phone and copied his phone data.
Yi Zheng was waiting for her in the car outside the police station. Seeing that a black shadow was about to quickly disappear into the night, he hurriedly asked Tang Zhe to turn on the headlights to catch her attention.
Shi Man narrowed her eyes, her expression terrifyingly cold.
She subconsciously raised her hand to block the strong light that suddenly shone over. She saw the license plate of the car through her fingers and heaved a sigh of relief.
Before Shi Man got into the car, Tang Zhe quickly complained to his master in the backseat, “Miss Shi is really bold. She dares to barge into the morgue alone in the middle of the night. She’s really a heroine!”
Yi Zheng smiled smugly, as if he was the one being praised. His eyes were filled with smiles.
After Shi Man got into the car, she rolled her eyes at him and pursed her lips speechlessly. “How did you know I would come here?”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and seemed to really think about it. Then, he said with a serious expression, “Maybe this is our telepathy?”
Shi Man couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him again. “You guessed that I didn’t ask Sean to do this, right?”
Yi Zheng tidied her messy hair matter-of-factly. “You’re worried about them, but what about me? Why didn’t you borrow someone from me?”
“Do we let the mercenaries come to the police station to let them walk into a trap?” Shi Man teased with a smile and naturally shared the clues she had found with him.
Yi Zheng was very satisfied with Shi Man’s trust in him.
“A cigarette burn?” Yi Zheng looked at the scar in the photo and quickly recognized the cause of the scar. He frowned fiercely and said, “1 heard that this level of stimulation will make some people with special hobbies achieve the pleasure brought by sex. I wonder if the deceased is one of these people.” “Damn, Master, you know this!” Tang Zhe turned around in surprise and interrupted.
Yi Zheng glanced at him suspiciously. “Why are you so agitated?”
Shi Man couldn’t help but look up at him curiously, her gaze sized up his arm repeatedly.
Tang Zhe immediately hugged his arms tightly. “Don’t doubt me! I’m really not that kind of person!”
Shi Man’s expression was clearly one of disbelief.
Tang Zhe wanted to defend himself, but after being glared at by Yi Zheng, he immediately held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
After checking this small wound, Shi Man quickly contacted Chen Wei to ask if Xiao Hui knew how to smoke. The answer was no.
When they were together, the men at the table would smoke and drink. Only Xiao Hui would only drink one glass every time he drank. He would not even touch the cigarettes.
Seeing that he was young, they naturally did not find it strange..
