Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 283 The Second Victim

Since the police were alerted, Shen Tong must have received a report.

Lu He couldn't get through to Shen Tong no matter how hard he tried.

At that moment, Shen Tong was indeed searching for Zhou Ziyin with his colleagues.

At that time, Shen Tong had only brought Guo Qi back not long before he received an urgent mission notification to the entire team.

It is said that a student from the school reported that a classmate had gone missing.

She originally wanted to make Guo Qi suffer, and planned to spend the whole night tormenting him.

However, because the police department required them to return to their posts as soon as possible, she had to make up an excuse to give herself an extra hour to prepare.

That's how they managed to perform a full-pain surgery on Guo Qi without anesthesia.

Just as she was getting ready to leave, Xia Lan showed up uninvited. Fortunately, Xia Lan was on the same page as her when it came to dealing with Guo Qi.

Besides, she was only castrated, not killed, so Xia Lan shouldn't have reported her.

So now it's become this: Xia Lan is at her house watching over Guo Qi to make sure he doesn't run away, while she goes out to carry out the mission of searching the whole city for him.

The girl who was reported missing is named Zhou Ziyin.

She attended her tutoring class as usual in the evening, and many classmates witnessed her slipping notes to Guo Qi.

Zhou Ziyin then left the tutoring school early and quickly walked into a small alley where the surveillance cameras were blind spots.

After school, Guo Qi walked down that road, but did not enter the alley, and quickly disappeared from the surveillance camera's view.

Shen Tong squinted and touched his chin, wondering if Zhou Ziyin's disappearance had anything to do with Guo Qi.

Then all the students passed by this alley one after another.

According to the information they searched, Zhou Ziyin had been missing from the surveillance footage for about half an hour when she made a phone call to her roommates, indicating that she wouldn't be returning to the dormitory that night and planned to visit Su Qing at the hospital.

Su Qing...

Isn't this the girl Guo Qi assaulted that those two old men were talking about tonight? How is it related to Zhou Ziyin?

Shen Tong frowned, her expression slightly displeased. Those two had withheld some information from her.

They still didn't treat her like one of their own.

However, they were in the same boat; she also kept a lot of information secret and did not disclose it publicly.

A city-wide, door-to-door search lasted for more than an hour, and a female corpse was found at a sewer outlet on the outskirts of the city; it had already decomposed from being submerged in water.

The area was cordoned off, and Shen Tong also arrived at the scene.

"What did the forensic doctor say?" Shen Tong wanted to confirm if this was Zhou Ziyin.

"It shouldn't be. Our initial assessment is that the timeline doesn't match up; this person has been dead for more than five days." The colleague answered Shen Tong's question: "We'll have to wait for the forensic doctor to take the person back for further examination."

"If it's not Zhou Ziyin, should we continue searching?" Shen Tong asked thoughtfully.

"We can't spare that many police officers. This murder case is more important. We'll continue the search, but we can't search the whole city anymore..."

Shen Tong nodded: "Okay, I understand. Do you know why this is a murder case?"

"The corpse had many knife wounds, so it definitely did not die of natural causes."

Shen Tong didn't ask anything more. She just silently watched them put the body into professional bags, load it into the car, and wandered around the scene.

The clothes on the corpse were soaked and rotten, making it almost impossible to see anything. The items related to the corpse that were pulled out of the sewer were not particularly useful.

For example, there are no identity verification devices such as ID cards or mobile phones.

She carefully searched the roadside bushes for any signs of struggle or dragging.

Whether it's the initial crime scene or the disposal of the body after death, there will always be dragging involved. Perhaps the murderer left something behind and dropped it nearby.

Sure enough, perseverance pays off. Shen Tong found a small clump of broken trees. Wearing gloves, she carefully rummaged through the branches and weeds.

Finally, on a small branch, I saw a tattered strip of cloth with an incomplete pattern on it.

"It looks so familiar," Shen Tong thought for a moment. "This is... isn't this the school badge on my school uniform?"

It was the same school where she went undercover.
