155: Chapter 155: The Corpse in the Refrigerator 155: Chapter 155: The Corpse in the Refrigerator “Alright, I’ll go look for it now.” Zhang Ting immediately went to the computer and found the address of the cleaner. “No. 76 Xinjie Road, let’s go there now.” After finding the address, Zhang Ting pulled Ye Shikai into the police car, the siren blared, and they had an unobstructed drive. “Hey, even if that cleaner has been killed, how can you be sure his body is definitely in his home?” Zhang Ting drove at almost breakneck speed, showing she was really eager to solve the case. “Yanjing is densely populated, and the police checks are strict. It would raise suspicion to move a corpse out, and if it was disposed of randomly, it would be even more likely to be discovered. If you were the assassin, where would you put the body?” Ye Shikai countered. “At home, in the cleaner’s house. If the killer impersonating the cleaner wasn’t discovered, then nobody would check his home, making it an ideal place to hide a body,” Zhang Ti realized, clapping his hands together. “You’re finally getting it.” Ye Shikai smiled, but his expression was serious. While they could find the cleaner’s body, the assassin had surely already fled. The purpose of an investigation was to bring Xun Long back to justice, so finding the body was just a clue, and they were far from done. Zhang Ting quickly arrived at No. 76 Xinjie Road, an area in the old part of the city with dilapidated houses and eye-catching “demolish” signs everywhere. “This place is secluded, and with few residents nearby, it’s a very suitable hiding place for the killer,” Ye Shikai surveyed the surrounding environment. “I’ve already notified colleagues at the police station, they’ll be here soon. Should we go in first?” Zhang Ting said, taking out two police pistols from her chest, adeptly loading them, and handing one to Ye Shikai. “Do you want one?” “Child’s play,” Ye Shikai glanced at the pistol and went straight ahead. “What an egomaniac,” Zhang Ting muttered behind him. “I’m going to ask the property manager for the keys, wait here,” Ye Shikai approached the front door and looked at the locked iron gate. “No need for that, watch me,” Zhang Ting stepped back, took a breath, and kicked the door open with a frontal kick, leaving Ye Shikai speechless. This woman, is this really how she conducts her cases? With the pistol in hand, Zhang Ting quickly entered, checked every room, and found no one, “Damn it, not a single person, he must have slipped away.” “He’s not going to wait around to get caught, is he? Let’s check, if my guess is right, the body should be here,” Ye Shikai flipped over the sofa and looked around. “Okay,” Zhang Ting said. The two searched the bedroom, living room, and kitchen but found nothing, leaving Zhang Ting agitated, “What’s going on, how could such a big corpse not be here?” “Don’t rush, do you remember when that cleaner took a day off, what day it was?” Ye Shikai tried to soothe Zhang Ting. “Probably about fifteen days ago,” Zhang Ting recalled. “With the weather still very hot, after fifteen days, a corpse would have seriously decomposed and the smell of decay couldn’t possibly go unnoticed, unless...” Ye Shikai seemed to think of something and immediately rushed to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator. “As expected, the body is here,” Ye Shikai said calmly. The fridge had been modified, with all the compartment panels removed, enough space for an adult, “Zhang Ting, is this the person?” “Yes, that’s him.” Zhang Ting looked carefully at the corpse and confirmed that after killing the original cleaner, the assassin had been keeping the body in this freezer. But really, this assassin is quite twisted. After a while, the sound of police sirens came from downstairs, and about a dozen police officers arrived, accompanied by several forensic experts. Upon seeing the body, they all displayed unnatural expressions and immediately sealed off the room. “Ting, you’re here.” At this moment, a female police officer ran over. She was a size smaller than Zhang Ting. Seeing Zhang Ting together with Ye Shikai, she showed a sly smile. “Let me introduce, this is Dong Yue, a trainee at the police station and also my junior from the police academy,” Zhang Ting said to Ye Shikai. “Nice to meet you, Ye,” Dong Yue was quite forward, extending her hand and shaking hands with Ye Shikai. “Do you know me?” Ye Shikai smiled awkwardly yet politely. “Ye, I saw you beating up Li Li at the police station just now; it was really cool. Could you teach me how to fight?” Dong Yue’s eyes sparkled with admiration, her fangirl demeanor left Zhang Ting facepalming. “Yueyue, stop it, we’re working on a case,” Zhang Ting said with a hint of displeasure. “A case? Great, let me have a look.” Dong Yue immediately got excited upon hearing about a case, but when she turned her head and saw the corpse in the freezer, she screamed in terror and ran out, her face losing all color. “Your police station really is full of talent,” Ye Shikai teased. “Yueyue is just a trainee officer, of course she hasn’t seen a murder before. I was pretty much the same at her stage,” Zhang Ting said with a laugh. “What about you? Didn’t you feel sick the first time you killed someone or saw a dead body?” “Of course, back then, I was so nauseated I threw up for three days,” Ye Shikai replied, comparing the blood and gore on the battlefield where limbs were missing, that was real carnage, now this, the type of bodies the police investigate, it was child’s play. “I didn’t expect you to have such a rough time,” They chatted for a bit while the forensic experts examined the body until Dong Yue came back. “How about it? All done throwing up?” Zhang Ting patted Dong Yue’s head and couldn’t help but laugh. “Cut it out, I just wasn’t used to it, I’ll be fine next time. Ye, teach me how to fight later, that Li Li is considered a combat expert at our station, but he was brought down by you in just a few moves,” Dong Yue’s interest was piqued upon seeing Ye Shikai. “Alright, I’ll teach you when I have time,” Ye Shikai said with a smile, getting up and walking over to the forensic expert, “How’s it going, did the examination results come out?” “They’re out, Mr. Ye. The deceased is named Xu Feng, previously a cleaner at our police station, estimated time of death is about two weeks ago. From the time he was killed till now, the body has been kept in cold storage.” “How did he die?” Ye Shikai asked. “The fatal wound is this slash on the neck. The preliminary assessment is that the killer used a razor or similar sharp blade, a swift cut to the throat.” The forensic pointed at the deep gash on Xu Feng’s neck. “It looks like a professional hit,” Ye Shikai commented as he examined the wound closely with a magnifying glass. Suddenly, he felt the wound looked familiar—as if he had seen this kind of injury somewhere before.
