Chapter 11 Identity of the Deceased

After investigating for a long time, they did not find any lost items at the scene. They went down the mountain to the management office to inquire about the situation. The management office only had videos from a month ago, so it was impossible to see the murderer from the surveillance. Kong Zhixi also asked about the surveillance at the highest point to see if it was possible to see the person who dumped the body by the river.

The old man at the management office called up the surveillance camera at the highest point, but he could only see the road at the foot of the mountain. The river was still too far away, not to mention there were some buildings in between.

Xiao Zhao sent the information about the female corpse to Li Li. Li Li showed the information to Kong Zhixi, who understood what he meant, thanked the old man at the management office, and went back.

Li Li returned to the bureau, printed out the deceased's information and gave it to Kong Zhixi.

Kong Zhixi looked at the paper. She was a female, 32 years old, named Li Xiuli, which didn't look like an online name. She was a massage technician at Jusanmei, unmarried, and lived alone in this city.

"No one reported the person missing?" Kong Zhixi felt that since the person had been missing for so long, someone should have looked for him.

"Let's go and ask her at her workplace." Li Li felt that there was no point in discussing this in the bureau. If they went around more, they would always find some clues.

"Didn't you find any information about the corpse?" Kong Zhixi thought that the two cases could be linked in some way based on their identities.

"No, we can't find any information about the identity of the corpse." Li Li sighed. This headless case is the most difficult to solve.

Jusanmei is a chain massage platform that focuses on door-to-door services. Customers place orders on the platform and technicians provide door-to-door services. On the surface, these platforms claim to provide formal services, but in fact, they are all places that sell dog meat under the guise of sheep.

The person in charge was not panicked when he saw the police coming to check. He had prepared the business license and various qualifications. Looking at the information in front of them, Li Li and Kong Zhixi both laughed in anger. He was quite experienced. It seemed that he had been checked more than once or twice.

"Do you know Li Xiuli?" Li Li went straight to the point without even looking at the information in front of him.

"Sounds familiar, like an employee here. Let me check." The person in charge was fat and big-eared, and the buttons of the white shirt under his suit jacket were almost unbuttoned. He glanced at the girl next to him, and the girl understood, went out to check, and whispered something in his ear. The person in charge then said to Li Li, "Yes, she is an employee here, but she hasn't been to work for a long time, and we can't find her. What happened to her?"

Kong Zhixi looked at the few strands of hair combed on his head, wondering whether they were hair oil or hairspray.

"She's dead." Li Li told the person in charge seriously, watching his reaction sharply.

The person in charge and the girl beside him were shocked. "Dead?" the person in charge asked again, trying to confirm the authenticity of the information once again.

Li Li nodded, still watching their reactions, hoping to find a clue related to the death of the deceased from their emotions.

The person in charge was the person in charge after all, and he quickly got over his shock and accepted the fact. Then he asked, "She hasn't reported to us for many days. We don't require her to clock in at a fixed location. Only when we receive an order do we need to locate her online."

"Can I see her customer information?" Li Li felt that maybe he could find something here.

The person in charge hesitated and expressed his embarrassment. Li Li sighed. Some people always think they are very capable. If they don't struggle, it seems that they are incompetent.

"You don't think we really can't find any problems?" As he said that, he took out his cell phone to make a call. The person in charge quickly stopped him and nodded repeatedly, saying: "It can be seen, it can be seen. We have to pretend, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my superiors." The person in charge's expression changed quickly. It takes some ability for him to be a manager.

After saying that, he winked at the little girl, and the little girl understood and went out.

The person in charge poured Li Li some tea, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked, "This has nothing to do with our company, right?"

"Whether you are related or not, you must cooperate with the investigation." Li Li's voice suddenly rose.

The person in charge smiled in a flattering manner, nodded a few times, and said, "Yes, yes, we are all cooperative."

Kong Zhixi really admired the fact that this person in charge could adapt to the situation and could talk big without hesitation.

The girl took two A4 sheets of paper with densely written phone numbers and addresses. Li Li put them away and said politely, "I may need to contact you later to find out more. If you remember anything, please feel free to contact us." Then he wrote down his phone number.

Kong Zhixi felt that Li Li was in a hurry this time. She thought he had some new information and was going to the next place. As a result, when Kong Zhixi turned the car key and wanted to drive away, Li Li stopped her. Just as she was about to ask, Li Li pointed to the front, and then she saw the girl taking the bag and going out.

"Follow him." Li Li gave the order, and Kong Zhixi's blood boiled. She turned the car key and stepped on the accelerator in one go. Li Li patted her and frowned and said, "Following, I don't mean you to catch someone! Are you afraid that others don't know you are following them?"

"Oh, oh, oh." Kong Zhixi slowed down obediently. Sometimes, Li Li could be quite fierce when scolding people, like a criminal police.

The girl stopped in front of a building and made a phone call in the car. A man came out of the building and they talked for a while before leaving. Kong Zhixi watched from the car for a while, looked at Li Li anxiously, and asked, "What are they talking about? I can't hear it clearly."

Li Li looked mysterious and not in a hurry. After they dispersed, he got out of the car, went to the store in front of the building to buy two ice creams, and returned to the car.

"She's a girl named Liang Xi." Li Li said as he opened the ice cream bag. "She works at Tuhao Technology."

"Tuhao Technology?"

"Let's go back and check it out. It's probably related to the beauty of separation." It's still a bit cold to eat ice cream in this weather, but Li Li doesn't seem to feel anything.

Kong Zhixi sat in the office chair and felt a little strange. Fu Yan said that Li Li was only responsible for allocating and issuing orders, but now he started to interfere in the investigation. Was he dissatisfied with her investigation method? Or was his side mission to help her solve the case?

"Tuhao Technology is one of the shareholders of Jusanmei. It seems that they just went to tell the boss that an employee has died and wait for further instructions." Li Li threw the information to Kong Zhixi.

Kong Zhixi looked through the information inside. The information on it was all normal. It looked like a relatively normal company. There were a few lawsuits, which seemed to be just some business-to-business contract disputes. The boss looked no different. He was in his 40s, not fat, not thin, wearing glasses and had an old-fashioned : hairstyle.

"So, why don't you ask someone?" Although Kong Zhixi didn't notice anything unusual, she felt that maybe asking could reveal some clues.

"At the moment, there is nothing suspicious." Li Li felt that there was no clear connection at the moment, so there was no need to waste too much time here.

"Let's take a look at the body first and see if the two cases can be linked together."

In the forensic room, Lao Sui studied the corpse for a long time. The only useful information was the bullet hole on the forehead, the gender and age, and the inconspicuous scratch on the left chest rib.

Xiao Zhao still couldn't find any identity information about the corpse. No information meant that this person's existence in this world was not welcomed by others, and he must have a miserable life story, but there were thousands of miserable people, so where should he start?

Li Li stood in the corridor and took out a cigarette box that he hadn't opened for a long time. There were no cigarettes in it. He just sniffed it and put it back in his pocket. Kong Zhixi walked up to him and said, "You still smoke?"

"I've quit." Li Li's expression was a little complicated when he said these two words, and he looked at Kong Zhixi with a look as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Investigating a case is not something that can be rushed, so don't put too much pressure on yourself." Kong Zhixi thought that he wanted to learn how to smoke again because of the pressure from the case.

"This is your case, and you are the one who should be anxious. Tell me, what's next..." Before Li Li finished speaking, Kong Zhixi's stomach growled a few times again.

Li Li had no choice but to take her out for dinner.
