Chapter 9 People will step into the familiar river
Du Yu opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief and shock beyond words!

He turned around, frowned and asked Li Dusheng: "What's going on?!"

Li Dusheng's face was gloomy. "It was placed at the entrance of the KTV this afternoon. It was in a blind spot of the surveillance camera. I don't know who it was."

He winked at his cousin, who understood and brought over a takeaway box.

"My sister's head was in this box at the time." Li Dusheng gritted his teeth and said, "There is also this in the box."

It was a note with typed words on it. The murderer was very cautious.

The note read "Come and catch me" and had been crumpled up a lot by someone in anger, who then tried to smooth it out.

Xu Yiqing frowned slightly, thinking what a vicious murderer!

Not only did they kill and dismember the person and send the head of the deceased back to the family, they also left a provocative note!
Du Yu's expression was also serious: "Is he really the delivery man?"

Xu Yiqing said: "Takeaway boxes can be bought on online shopping platforms, so don't be constrained by your thinking."

Li Dusheng had a vicious expression on his face: "You knew I was looking for him, but you still came to provoke me...Shame on his mother!"

He cursed twice in a low voice in dialect. Du Yu didn't understand what he meant, but he could guess from the emotion that they were not good words.

So he scolded: "Don't break the law knowingly."

Li Dusheng retorted sarcastically: "Sir, if you have the ability, you would have caught him earlier than me."

The atmosphere was tense for a while, and only Xu Yiqing signaled Lin Sheng to get tools from the car, put on gloves, and lie down next to the coffin to prepare to start.

Li's cousin yelled at him, "What are you doing?"

Li Dusheng stretched out his hand to signal him not to worry about it. During the confrontation with Du Yu, he glanced at Xu Yiqing out of the corner of his eye, tacitly approved of his action, and turned his attention to dealing with Du Yu.

Today, he would never let the serious crime squad take away his sister's body.

Originally, Li Dusheng planned to cremate his sister according to the procedure, but changed his mind because of the murderer's provocation... At least his sister's head was found.

It was impossible for him to cremate his sister's head separately and then put the ashes in the same jar with the body.

After death, the body had already been dismembered. Li Dusheng didn't want Li Yueyue's ashes to not even come out of the same furnace after cremation.

There was no choice before and I was forced to compromise. Now that I have a head, I should die with my body intact.

That's why he used some connections to have Li Yueyue's body taken home and buried together with her severed head when it was handed over from the Forensic Department to the crematorium.

While the serious crime squad and Li Dusheng were still at loggerheads, Xu Yiqing had already asked Lin Sheng to check the severed head.

"Brother Xu, the cross section is very rough, and the fracture joints of the jawbone and the spine do not match." Lin Sheng is an expert in bones, and he saw the clues at a glance: "Although the gap is very shallow, the cutting marks on the bones are in batches."

Xu Yiqing concluded: "This means that the murderer damaged the severed head a second time."

Lin Sheng was puzzled: "Why?"

Xu Yiqing pointed at Li Yueyue's neck with certainty: "This further confirms the speculation that the murderer is trying to exonerate the first person. The scars from this second treatment should be to cover up the marks on the neck... You see, the wound has been damaged to such an extent that it is difficult to collect useful clues."

Lin Sheng observed carefully and was suddenly surprised: "Brother Xu, there is a shallow mark of strangulation here!"

Xu Yiqing hurried to take a look, and sure enough, in the torn flesh, there was a thin mark from the strangulation that had not been destroyed.

Lin Sheng muttered to himself: "Such a thin mark, what could it be... a thread? A rope?"

Xu Yiqing shook his head: "It's so damaged that I can't tell. But at least the good news is that our previous reasoning was correct. Before Li Yueyue was killed, she was strangled."

The forensic duo made significant discoveries here, but a fight was about to break out over there.

Li Dusheng stared at Du Yu gloomily: "Sir Du, I respect you as a police officer. This is my sister's funeral hall, don't force me to quarrel with you here."

Du Yu did not back down at all: "Li Dusheng, I have been very tolerant of you. I didn't handcuff you and take you away because of your sister's face."

He put his hands on the handcuffs behind his waist. It was difficult to arrest people without evidence on normal days, but today Li Dusheng actually stole the body. The crematorium and the Forensic Department of the Criminal Investigation Division jointly reported the case and a case was filed.

Stealing a corpse can be a big or small crime. From Du Yu's personal perspective, he will try his best to make Li Dusheng's crime as serious as possible.

Du Yu dreams of making this tough guy pay the price for violating the law.

Li Dusheng said nothing, but just placed his hand lightly on the coffin, as if to say that this coffin must hold someone today, and who it will be depends on what happens next.

At this tense moment, a voice broke the atmosphere.

"Why don't you all give me some face?"

Xu Yiqing's bearded face, in his thirties, stood between the two of them.

He still clasped his hands and sighed slightly.

In terms of force, he was no match for Li Dusheng with just one arm; in terms of courage, he did not have the ruthlessness that Du Yu had in the past when a gangster stabbed him dozens of times but still held on to him.

Therefore, in front of these two representatives of Jiangcheng's underworld and white world, Xu Yiqing's face seemed insignificant.

But Xu Yiqing has such personal charm.

Because in his eyes, everyone is treated equally.

To the good guys, to the bad guys, to the police, to the gangsters, to the living... to the dead.

Everyone respects such a pure person, so pure that no matter who you are, if you die and lie on the dissection table in front of him, he will definitely give you the greatest respect and listen to what you have to say after death. People who respect the dead will also be respected by the living.

Xu Yiqing looked at Du Yu and advised: "Now that you know the body is not lost, there is no need to rush this night... The case is important."

Then he looked at Li Dusheng and proposed a deal: "I promised you that I would sew your sister up beautifully. A person must have an intact body. No matter what the final result is, please let me send your sister on her last journey."

Forensic doctors know how to sew up corpses. Otherwise, after the autopsy, they can't just take off their gloves and send the body, with its internal organs ripped open like a fish, to the crematorium or morgue.

And because of his outstanding professional ability and pure faith, Xu Yiqing's skill in sewing corpses is unmatched - he is the best forensic doctor in the country.

Li Dusheng acquiesced to Xu Yiqing's proposal.

Thus, a vicious fight that could have easily triggered a new round of crackdowns on gangs and evil in Jiangcheng was resolved with the intervention of Xu Yiqing.

Du Yu promised Li Dusheng to complete the funeral, so Li Yueyue could enjoy the traditional grand funeral in Jiangcheng.

Li Dusheng also promised to have his sister's body cremated after the funeral so that he could have an intact body.

Even though it was just a verbal promise, Du Yu was not worried that Li Dusheng would turn against him. The other party was an arrogant hero, and heroes disdain to deceive, and arrogant people disdain to go back on their word.

So he and Lin Sheng waited outside the old house of Li's family to sew Xu Yiqing's body, leaning against the corner with a white wreath with the word "葬" written on it.

Du Yu lit a cigarette, took a puff, then looked up at the moon in the night, enjoying the only moment of respite since the case happened.

"Aren't you going in to help your master?"

Lin Sheng shook his head: "I only have a set of tools in my car. Going in will only get in the way... and that Li Dusheng may not trust me."

When Du Yu thought about what happened just now, he laughed, "I'm really confused. Your master is a weird person. Everyone likes him."

Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Because Brother Xu is a pure person."

Du Yu thought of the October 10.25 major dismemberment case he had seen in the serious crime unit office, and his eyes dimmed a little: "Good people don't get good rewards."

Lin Sheng was slightly startled, then he realized that Du Yu was referring to that case. After a moment of silence, he said, "I believe Brother Xu, there is another hidden story behind the case... and it is related to Li Yueyue's case!"

Du Yu shook his head: "Without evidence, all speculation is empty talk."

Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Yiqing completed sewing up Li Yueyue's body.

After he came out of the yard, there was an unconcealable look of fatigue on his face.

"I took a picture of Li Yueyue's head for evidence and examined it. There was no obvious trauma on her head. I also took a blood sample."

In his hand was a dark red glass test tube, the blood inside had turned dark enough to be black.

"I'll take you back to rest." said Lin Sheng.

After all, humans are not machines. Working 24 hours a day will only reduce efficiency and increase the chance of sudden death.

On the way back, the prosperity of Jiangcheng under the night sky also revealed a sense of restlessness.

The prosperity is theirs, and the restlessness is Xu Yiqing's.

What happened on this day made his heart, which had been silent for a long time, become restless again——

To redress the injustice done to my brother.

To redress the injustice done to Li Yueyue.

Lin Sheng looked at his master who was sitting in the passenger seat with a tired face but bright eyes, and sighed, not knowing how to comfort him.

So while waiting for the red light, he turned his head and looked outside the windows of the shops that still had their lights on, including some fruit shops, trying to change the subject.

"Brother Xu, do you want to buy some fruit to eat? I remember you always have a simple dinner of fruit."

Xu Yiqing was thinking about something. After coming to his senses, he subconsciously shook his head: "No, I haven't been to this place before. I will be ripped off if I buy fruit here. It's better to go back to my house downstairs. I still have a membership."

Just after he finished speaking, Xu Yiqing was suddenly stunned, and in an instant he figured something out.

He slapped his forehead suddenly and called Du Yu.

Lin Sheng was startled by his sudden reaction, "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"I won't buy fruit in an unfamiliar fruit store, and antelopes won't go to unfamiliar water sources... People always tend to be familiar with things, and this is an instinct engraved in animals." Xu Yiqing replied: "So we made a common sense mistake."

The call was connected.

Xu Yiqing spoke quickly: "Captain Du, if Li Yueyue often eats dog meat, she will buy it at the store she often goes to, which is on the way home from work!"

Du Yu was puzzled. "We checked. Whether it was the Zhuangyuanlang Tuofu where Li Yueyue worked before her death, or the dog meat shops within a few kilometers around her residence, we checked them all."

Xu Yiqing asked: "Which residence?"

Du Yu said as a matter of course: "Hui Min Garden!"

Xu Yiqing immediately said: "Li Yueyue has moved, Huimin Garden is the rental house she recently rented!"

Du Yu understood what she meant, and said in a tone of sudden enlightenment: "So even though she has moved for a while, she still goes to the dog meat shop she is familiar with... to buy dog ​​meat?!"
