Chapter 233 Ma Xin
He Feng did not answer Zhao Lei's question immediately, because at this moment his mind was all on the mysterious person who was about to arrive.
Although I have reservations about whether this person can really play a key role in solving the case, since he was specially sent by his superiors, I still have to show him due respect and welcome.
Thinking of this, He Feng no longer hesitated, nodded to the police officers under his command, and then walked towards the gate in person to prepare to welcome the legendary expert.
He thought to himself that he must see for himself whether this expert was as good as the rumors said, and whether he could really use his professional ability to solve the complicated mystery before him.
He Feng followed the people from the Public Security Bureau out, but he didn't expect that the person who came was a girl who looked about the same age as He Feng, or even younger than him.
Before He Feng opened his mouth, Zhao Lei on the side could no longer hold back his thoughts. His eyes fell straight on the young girl, and he muttered, "Chief, look, could this be some rich girl who came to our Public Security Bureau to gild her reputation? Such a little girl can solve the case? And she is actually called an expert!" His words were full of doubt and disdain.
He Feng was somewhat puzzled when he heard this. After all, the girl in front of him looked so young and immature, and it was hard to believe that she was an experienced and capable criminal investigation expert.
However, He Feng still understood the truth that heroes have always emerged from youth, so he looked at the young "expert" with a faint smile on his face.
Unexpectedly, the young expert named Ma Xin was obviously not happy to hear such words. Her bright eyes quickly swept over He Feng and his colleagues beside him, and she said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "My name is Ma Xin, and I was specially sent by my superiors to help you solve this case! Director He, do you doubt my ability just because I am young?"
Facing Ma Xin's questioning, He Feng could only smile again, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Oh, how could I not believe you? Of course I know that you must have something extraordinary." However, how could Ma Xin not know that this was just a polite remark, she knew in her heart that the other party did not really trust her. But she knew very well that no matter how much she defended herself at this time, it would be in vain, and only after the case was successfully solved, everything would be self-evident.
Thinking of this, although Ma Xin was anxious, she knew that she should not be too impulsive, so she suppressed her inner anxiety and said no more.
Ma Xin stared at He Feng with his bright and sharp eyes, and asked in a firm and serious tone: "Director, please tell me where the crime scene is!"
He Feng smiled slightly. He could feel Ma Xin's enthusiasm and dedication to work. However, out of concern and consideration, he still said softly: "Mr. Ma, you have traveled for several days to get here. It must be hard work. In my opinion, you should have a good rest first. After all, it has been several years since this case happened. One or two days won't make a difference."
Ma Xin looked at He Feng and said, "Director He, you should just call me Ma Xin instead of expert."
He Feng nodded: "Okay, then I will call you Comrade Ma Xin. You should rest for a night. It will be in time for the investigation tomorrow morning."
However, Ma Xin was not shaken by He Feng's words. She looked at He Feng with a sharp gaze and responded decisively: "Director He, I am very aware of the importance of this matter. For me, understanding the case as soon as possible and finding clues to solve the case is more urgent than anything else. Therefore, I have decided not to rest now, and please take me to the crime scene immediately!"
Hearing Ma Xin's words, He Feng could not help but nod secretly, with a gratified smile on his face. He thought: It seems that this expert is really capable. Not only is she professionally qualified, but she is also very serious and responsible in her work. I just wonder if this difficult case can be solved successfully with her efforts?
Thinking of this, He Feng no longer hesitated, nodded decisively, and responded: "Comrade Ma Xin, I have to say that I didn't think it through just now. Since you insist so much, let's set off to the crime scene now!"
Seeing that He Feng agreed to his request, Ma Xin quickly nodded in agreement, turned around and began to pack up the things he needed to take, preparing to leave immediately.
He Feng and Ma Xin followed Zhao Lei closely and came to the mysterious and horrifying crime scene. When they stepped into the area, a gloomy atmosphere hit them. There was only a pale skeleton lying alone on the ground, and there was no other clues or items left around.
He Feng stared at Zhao Lei and asked seriously, "Tell us quickly, what did you find out?"
His voice seemed particularly loud in this silent environment.
Zhao Lei did not dare to delay and hurriedly looked at He Feng and Ma Xin, and at the same time took out a thick document from his briefcase.
Zhao Lei took a deep breath and said, "Director, Expert Ma, after our detailed investigation, we can confirm that the deceased's name is Zhao Ying. The preliminary judgment is that she committed suicide, but the specific reason... may be caused by many factors intertwined, and we cannot know it for sure at present." After saying this, he carefully observed the reactions of the two.
Just when He Feng was about to ask further questions, Ma Xin on the side suddenly interrupted and said, "Suicide? Let me see where the body is first!" As she said that, she quickly walked to where the bones were, squatted down and looked at them carefully.
He Feng didn't expect that such a woman would be so brave to accompany Ma Xin to the side of the corpse.
Although He Feng has killed many people since he joined the army, he has never seen corpses like this. If he says he is not afraid, he would definitely be lying.
He Feng didn't want to lose face in front of this girl, so he pretended to be calm and walked to the corpse: "Comrade Ma Xin, what do you think of it?"
Ma Xin looked at the corpse and said, "Don't talk yet."
He Feng listened to what Ma Xin said, but he was not angry. Instead, he stood up and walked to the side. After all, this was not within his scope of knowledge, so it would be useless even if he watched it here.
He Feng looked at the surroundings. There was no one living nearby. Even if it was a homicide, there were no witnesses, so this case was a bit difficult to handle.
He Feng looked at Zhao Lei: "Come here and I'll talk to you."
