However, now that she had become a forensic doctor, would the plot continue to be all about murder cases? Yin Tao was a little worried about the safety of City A in the future.
In the original novel, Feng Jing was the second male lead. He did not appear until he solved his brother’s case. However, now that the plot had changed, Feng Jing had made no progress in Feng Ye’s case. Could it be that the major cases in City A would stop only after Feng Jing had solved his brother’s case?
Yin Tao didn’t know what she could do, so she could only do her job as a forensic doctor to help solve the case.
The atmosphere in the detective team was especially tense. Almost all the police resources were used on the dismemberment case. The suspects’ identities were quickly confirmed, but there didn’t seem to have any special connection between them.
The old, the young, men and women. It was as if everything had happened at random. There was no commonality between any of them.
Yin Tao had also received a copy of the victims’ information, so she followed Bai Luo and Xia Jin to conduct visits and investigation. Most of the family members of each victim had reported their disappearance, and the time of the victim’s disappearance matched the time of death. However, the other body parts had yet to be discovered. Most of the family members of the victims were very agitated, and after an entire morning of interviews, Yin Tao and the rest were on the verge of breaking down.
“There are two more cases in the afternoon. Our group was assigned five cases. Sigh, we didn’t find anything.” Bai Luo was a little discouraged. He had visited three families in the morning, but he had not been provided any clues. The victims’ social relationships were relatively complicated. There was no way to determine the suspects from the people they had interacted with.
“Bai Luo, who are the other two victims?” Yin Tao felt that their visits were futile. The family members were too upset to provide any useful clues.
“He Xuan, a four-year-old boy. DNA was taken from the body parts at the crime scene to confirm his identity.” Bai Luo felt a little sorry. The victims’ identities and ages were all different. “The other one is called Zhao Han. He’s twenty-five years old and is not from this city.”
“Is this child called He Xuan in kindergarten?” Yin Tao felt that it was unlikely that He Xuan’s family would be able to provide any clear clues. However, there were many teachers and surveillance cameras in the kindergarten, so there might be new discoveries.
“It’s at Xingwen Kindergarten. Why don’t we go take a look first?” Xia Jin couldn’t bear to witness the family’s grief. If they went, they would only be agitating the family members further. Xia Jin couldn’t bear to do so.
“Alright, then let’s go to the kindergarten to take a look.” Bai Luo also agreed with Xia Jin’s suggestion.
The three of them quickly arrived at Xingwen Kindergarten where the victim, He Xuan, attended.
When the kindergarten director saw the police visiting, he politely invited Yin Tao and the rest in.
“He Xuan didn’t go missing from the kindergarten. He was on his way home. At that time, his mother thought that he had been kidnapped by human traffickers and immediately called the police.” The kindergarten director was a middle-aged woman in her forties and appeared very kind.
“Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? That child was especially obedient. He had never been mischievous in kindergarten.” The director looked a little sad, as if the child He Xuan had come to her mind. She couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.
“Who was He Xuan’s teacher?” Yin Tao asked the director.
“It’s Teacher Xiao Lan. I’ll bring you to meet her.” Under the director’s lead, Yin Tao and the others saw a pretty female teacher in her twenties.
“Teacher Xiao Lan, these are police officers. They’re here to ask about He Xuan.” The director explained the situation and then left to handle other matters.
Teacher Xiao Lan brought Yin Tao and the rest to an empty lounge and slowly said, “He Xuan was a very sensible child. On the day of his disappearance, he even gave me a small paper crane.”
Teacher Xiao Lan took out a lime-yellow paper crane from the pocket of her jacket. Although it was not exquisitely made, it was considered not bad for a four-year-old child.
Teacher Xiao Lan looked at the paper crane and her eyes slowly turned red. She sobbed and asked Yin Tao and the others, “Have you caught the murderer? How heartless of him to kill a four-year-old child!”
“Not yet. On the day He Xuan disappeared, was there anyone suspicious in the kindergarten?” Yin Tao pulled out a tissue and handed it to Teacher Xiao Lan.
“It’s no different from usual. He Xuan’s mother came to pick him up after school. I heard from his mother that He Xuan disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
Teacher Xiao Lan calmed down a little. She thought for a moment and continued to say to Yin Tao and the others, “At that time, the police investigating He Xuan’s disappearance didn’t find any surveillance footage of the suspect. He Xuan’s disappearance happened to be in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras. Nothing useful was recorded.”
