Cherish You as My Life - Chapter 28.1

Chapter 28.1

Changing into a surgical gown, Ji Yao walked into the autopsy room with Han Xi.

“The cause of death was suffocation. After death, the scalp of the deceased’s head was peeled off in one piece, and the hair was missing. The marks on the waist were also caused after death. Most likely after tying the rope with heavy objects to sink the body. There were no scars elsewhere.” Han Xi started to explain what she had found so far.

Ji Yao: “Hm…”

“After the rope was soaked in water, it broke, and the body floated up and was discovered. The deceased had undergone breast augmentation surgery before her death,” she said after opening the chest of the corpse and tapping the silicone exposed there.

“She had a nose job too. And the deceased had not been sexually assaulted before her death.”

*****

After Ji Yao came out of the forensic room, Zhu Han handed him the autopsy report.

At the same time, the DNA report also came out, confirming that the deceased was Wang Xiaoning, who had been missing for two months.

Quickly, the Missing Person Team transferred Wang Xiaoning’s case to the Criminal Investigation Team.

Ji Yao flipped through the file.

Wang Xiaoning, who was a professional model, was only twenty-one years old. She started working before graduating from high school. As her parents died when she was small, she had depended on her grandmother.

Meanwhile, Grandma Xiao was still waiting for the test results in the reception room.

As per Ji Yao’s order, Zhao Jingjing went downstairs and invited the old woman to the Criminal Investigation Office on the third floor.

“Are the results out?” Grandma Xiao held a disposable water cup and looked up at Ji Yao with a worried expression.

Looking at the old woman’s bloodshot eyes, the tough man didn’t know what to tell. So after pondering for a few seconds, he just gave a nod.

Grandma Xiao didn’t move for a while. Two lines of tears flowed from her cloudy eyes. “Is it my Ningning?” she muttered with trembling lips.

Zhao Jingjing said gently, “We will definitely bring justice for your granddaughter.”

More than half an hour passed before the old lady became emotionally stable.

At that time, the investigation team started to question the old lady to find more information about Wang Xiaoning.

According to her, her granddaughter disappeared on her way home after getting off work two months ago, and the Missing Person department verified it.

They had already checked the cameras along the road and found that several of them had been damaged and no useful information was captured.

As the police found out, Wang Xiaoning’s life was simple with a few relatives and friends, and she didn’t have a boyfriend. She was quiet, had no debts, and had not offended anyone.

After the questioning process was over, Ji Yao asked the old lady with a soft voice, “Grandma Xiao, the forensic doctor has already stitched up the body. Do you want to go and see it for the last time?”

“My poor girl…” The old woman leaned on her cane and wiped her tears. Her voice was a little hoarse from crying. “I’ll go see my Ningning.”

Ji Yao took the old lady to the forensic room.

“Grandma, you may need to be mentally prepared. Wang Xiaoning’s appearance does not look very good after being soaked in river water.” Han Xi reminded the old lady before she showed the corpse to her.

“My Ningning is always pretty,” Grandma Xiao muttered, staring at the dissection room in front of her.

Han Xi took the old lady to the autopsy room and lifted the white cloth.

“W…where is…Ningning’s hair?” The old woman who had been calmed down just a moment suddenly burst into tears. “Where did you put Ningning’s hair? Ningning cherished her hair so much. You can’t do this, you can’t do this!”

After saying that, she fainted.

“Grandma Xiao didn’t even mind Wang Xiaoning’s appearance, but she was angry and sad about her missing hair,” Ji Yao said to Zhao Jingjing after sending the old lady off.

“Captain Ji, I feel like Wang Xiaoning’s death is very likely related to her hair. But why would the murderer want her hair? If it is to make a wig, the hair can just be cut off. There’s no need to peel off her scalp.” Zhao Jingjing looked very puzzled.

Thinking of Zhao Jingjing’s words, Ji Yao went to the office and assigned some work tasks, including sending an officer to re-investigate Wang Xiaoning’s social relations.

Then he sat down and opened the fashion magazine on the table.

It was the last photo shoot of Wang Xiaoning before her death.’She was a model before her death.

‘It is not surprising that she would have breast augmentation surgery; after all, she made a living by her face and figure.’

In the picture, the young girl was wearing beautiful clothes, smiling at the camera, with her long jet-black hair hanging behind her shoulders.

Have a nice day!
