Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 1374: How Can One Bear Such Shame!
After listening to what Situ Yan said, Jiang Feng finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
A mentally disturbed homeless man naturally has no ability to kill someone, but to be able to barbecue a human thigh indicates that - at least one person in the city has been murdered and cruelly dismembered!
The body parts were just picked up by that homeless man.
Seeing Jiang Feng frowning and pondering something, Situ Yan added, "In fact, a similar case occurred a week ago! Last Thursday, we also received reports from the public, finding a human arm, a thigh, and two ears in different places... These body parts and the ones found tonight should belong to the same person, I have that intuition."
"Isn't this just a murder and dismemberment case? Not too rare, right? Why do you look so exhausted?"
Jiang Feng turned to look at Situ Yan's face, which was as exquisite and perfect as ever, except for the dark circles under her eyes.
"Hey, don't underestimate this kind of case!"
Situ Yan replied irritably, "Unlike the things you've experienced, any dismemberment case can cause a huge sensation in this city, especially one as heinous as this!"
"You might not be aware that this case has already been the talk of the town, with many citizens discussing it... And the senior leaders are taking it very seriously, forming a special investigative team with me as the team leader. The mayor personally ordered us to solve the case within the specified time. Now, there's only three days left, but I practically have no valuable clues in my hands..."
"I see."
Jiang Feng nodded.
Indeed, he had killed without hesitation, even done more cruel things, so he didn't find a dismemberment case surprising.
But if ordinary citizens hear about such a murder and dismemberment case, it's easy to spread like wildfire and cause an uproar.
This is where Situ Yan's pressure lies.
And Jiang Feng recently stayed in the Provincial City, not paying much attention to this matter. Presumably, Nangong Qingcheng and the others were busy with company affairs and hadn't heard about it either.
"The preliminary identification results indicate that the deceased is a male between 25 and 30 years old, but the identity of the deceased cannot be determined! Because recently no victim's family has reported the case."
Situ Yan said helplessly, "Without a victim's family coming forward, all our manpower and resources are in vain, and as the deadline to solve the case approaches, I haven't eaten or slept well for two or three days..."
"Let me see that." Jiang Feng pointed to a few photos inside the file folder.
"Oh."
Situ Yan quickly took them out obediently, now unconsciously placing her hopes for solving this unsolved case on Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng carefully looked at the photos, the top one was a section of a human thigh, but it was already charred black from the barbecue, revealing nothing.
The next photo showed a human arm, slightly decomposed, but vaguely visible was a tattoo on the arm, seemingly of a horse.
"Is this tattoo a horse? Have you investigated it?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Of course."
Situ Yan also leaned in to observe the photo closely, "I immediately sent people to check. There are countless tattoo shops in our Binhai, and many have tattoos of horses on their arms, so it's difficult to trace anything through this tattoo. Moreover, if the deceased is not a local of Binhai and had the tattoo done in another city, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, no matter how many people we send out."
Jiang Feng nodded.
This statement is also possible, if Binhai was just a dumping ground for the body and not the scene of the murder, the small tattoo becomes meaningless.
But then, Jiang Feng suddenly noticed a small bite mark on the arm!
Had it not been for his sharp eyes, an average person would hardly have spotted this minute detail.
Judging by the shape, it appeared to be a human bite mark!
And near that bite mark, the skin showed a small patch of dark bluish-black, stained with some dried black blood!
Suddenly, Jiang Feng connected it to something!
Because he had seen similar bite marks and black coagulated bloodstains before!
Previously, whether it was the enchanting female corpse remotely controlled by Miao Renfeng or the walking corpses controlled by Gongyang Lu, they all had this kind of thing.
Thus, he could conclude that the deceased was likely bitten by some sort of walking corpse-like entity before death, causing the arm to become infected!
Afterward, presumably fearing something might be exposed, he was brutally silenced!!
Walking corpse!
Binhai actually saw the appearance of walking corpses again!!
Is it the work of those Jianghu Strange Men again?!
But the Five Gu Sect had been exterminated by him, Jing Hall had been destroyed, only a few stragglers remained...
Could it be the work of Jing Hall???
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Feng's mind, but he dared not make any conclusions.
After all, there are many Jianghu Strange Men in China, and evil demonic ways aren't limited to just the Five Gu Sect and Jing Hall.
If there are other strange people sects capable of similar methods, they could similarly commit crimes, and he couldn't just rely on his assumptions to determine the source.
In any case, this matter is very complicated and cannot simply be categorized as an ordinary criminal case. It's no wonder Situ Yan feels overwhelmed, and it's fortunate he came to her home tonight!
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Beside him, Situ Yan saw Jiang Feng lost in thought and couldn't help but wave her fair little hand in front of him.
"Nothing."
Jiang Feng didn't reveal anything to Situ Yan for the time being, as she had experienced the incident of Miao Renfeng controlling the enchanting female corpse last time, lest it scare her.
Jiang Feng carefully observed and discovered another clue.
On the hand of the arm, the fingernails on the five fingers were three long and two short!
The so-called three long and two short meant the thumbnails, ring finger nails, and little finger nails were deliberately kept long, like girls.
While the middle and index finger nails were trimmed extremely short and neatly.
In a flash, another spark of insight flashed in Jiang Feng's mind!
He raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together, and stretched them out...
"What...what are you doing?" Situ Yan increasingly couldn't understand him and asked puzzledly.
"Look at my two fingers. What does this gesture resemble?" Jiang Feng smiled helplessly, making a rather lewd gesture by pressing his index and middle fingers together.
"This..."
Situ Yan was initially stunned, and then something clicked in her mind!
Her face turned red in an instant, she shot Jiang Feng a furious look, and pinched the soft flesh at his waist hard: "You rascal, when did you become so obscene? I thought you were helping me analyze the case, but you... you're so vulgar and dirty!!!"
Indeed, she thought Jiang Feng was helping her analyze the details, but who'd expect him to make such an indecent gesture at such a serious moment; it left her, a young maiden, embarrassed, naturally mortified!!
