Chapter 234 It’s not suicide

Zhao Lei followed He Feng closely and came to a secluded place. He looked at He Feng with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Director He, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

He Feng stared at Zhao Lei with a burning gaze, and said in a serious tone: "Let me ask you, during your investigation these few days, have you found that the neighbors around you always come to take a look seemingly casually, or ask you about something?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lei frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he looked up at He Feng and replied, "Director, after your reminder, I remember that there is indeed such a person. He is an old shepherd who lives at the foot of the mountain. He often comes to ask me about the case!"

He Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he had already understood the situation. He pondered in his heart, and various thoughts emerged like a tide, but he knew that in the absence of solid evidence, he must not easily jump to conclusions, let alone spread unconfirmed news at will.

So, he suppressed his inner thoughts and ordered Zhao Lei: "Okay, now go and help me investigate how many people in the village are related to this person named Zhao Ying. Remember, you must check it carefully!"

Although Zhao Lei felt somewhat puzzled by He Feng's instructions, he did not dare to ask more questions. He could only agree to it and turned to carry out the task. After all, being in such an environment - needing to guard a cold corpse day and night, Zhao Lei always felt a chill in his heart, and he wished he could finish the work and leave here as soon as possible.

After Zhao Lei left, He Feng still stood there quietly, waiting for Ma Xin's investigation results. After all, this involved a life, so how could such a serious incident be concluded so quickly?

Time passed by minute by minute, and He Feng waited patiently. After a while, he noticed that Ma Xin was skillfully operating several professional instruments, carefully conducting a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the corpse. She looked focused and meticulous, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Seeing Ma Xin handling the corpse so seriously and fearlessly, He Feng couldn't help but have a great change of heart towards her. You know, most girls would be scared to death in such a scene, not to mention checking it repeatedly and calmly like Ma Xin. Even an average adult man might not have her courage and bravery.

Finally, Ma Xin completed the preliminary investigation, walked quickly to He Feng and said, "Director He, based on my investigation, it can be determined that the deceased did not commit suicide, but was brutally murdered by someone else."

Hearing this conclusion, He Feng frowned slightly, stared at Ma Xin and asked: "Oh? How can you prove that the deceased did not commit suicide?"

Without hesitation, Ma Xin turned back to the corpse and pointed to the bone marks on the neck and explained: "Look here, it is obvious that someone put the rope around the woman's neck after she died. In other words, the murderer killed the deceased first, and then deliberately created the illusion of suicide to cover up the truth."

He Feng praised Ma Xin generously: "It's amazing! You know, these seemingly insignificant details are not something that everyone can notice." As he said this, he looked at Ma Xin with admiration.

Then, He Feng said thoughtfully: "However, while we were here to investigate this case, I also noticed another thing. At that time, there was a shepherd at the foot of the mountain who kept coming to us to ask about the progress of this case."

After hearing this, Ma Xin immediately turned his gaze to He Feng and asked, "So, Director He, do you think this person might be the murderer?"

He Feng nodded slightly in agreement: "Yes, there is indeed such a possibility. After all, Zhao Ying lives alone on this mountain. If that shepherd guy is attracted by her beauty... it is very likely to happen."

At this moment, Ma Xin suddenly seemed to remember something and said quickly, "Oh, right! When I was checking Ma Xin's body just now, I found that she was holding a knife in her hand, and the knife was stained with blood. I plan to go back to the bureau to check it out. As long as you can find a way to bring the shepherd back, it will be fine."

He Feng nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing determination: "Okay, I have sent Zhao Lei to investigate the villager who was herding sheep. I believe that there will be feedback on his clues and background soon."

Ma Xin was still investigating the crime scene in detail, not missing any possible details. She squatted down and used the flashlight to illuminate every inch of the ground. After all, she had to check carefully to see if she could find any clues to provide more clues for the case, so that she could find the cruel murderer more smoothly.

Although He Feng was a little scared, after all, he was facing a murder case, but he still tried to calm himself down and stayed with Ma Xin obediently. He thought, Ma Xin, a girl, did not flinch, so how could he, as a male colleague, be easily scared? So he plucked up his courage and continued to assist Ma Xin in the investigation.

Time passed by minute by minute. When Ma Xin finally finished the investigation, the sky was already covered with sunset glow and night had quietly fallen. The two men worked together to carefully lift the body into the car and then drove back to the Public Security Bureau. When they arrived at the Public Security Bureau, it was already late at night and the lights were dim. The building of the Public Security Bureau was silent. It was obvious that everyone had already gone off work.

As they missed the meal, they could only smile at each other helplessly, thinking that they would have to work overtime on an empty stomach again tonight. However, compared with the investigation of the case, what was this little bit of hard work?

He Feng looked at Ma Xin: "Comrade Ma Xin, I'm really sorry, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau have all gone off work."

Ma Xin shook his head: "It's okay, I often skip dinner, I'll go back and rest first."

He Feng looked at Ma Xin, who was so young but worked so hard. "Comrade Ma Xin, how can that be possible? Come with me to the kitchen. I want to see if there is anything to eat."

Ma Xin smiled and looked at He Feng: "I didn't expect that the director of the Public Security Bureau could actually cook. It's interesting."

He Feng brought Ma Xin to the back kitchen of the Public Security Bureau. Only Old Guan, who was guarding the gate, was left. "Uncle Guan, open the door. Let me see if there is anything to eat."
