"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Wan stood in front of the door, raising his hand to knock forcefully.

Thirty seconds later, there was no response.

Immediately afterward, Wan knocked on the door again with increased force, but still, no one answered.

Li Jian turned around and gave a signal to the police officer beside him.

The two officers behind instantly understood and quickly picked up a black cylindrical door-breaking device.

Wan quickly stepped aside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After several consecutive hits, the security door was breached.

Inside, it was pitch-black, with no light visible.

Li Jian and Chen He, each holding a black police pistol and a flashlight, crouched and moved forward to explore.

Immediately following them, two other young criminal investigation team members followed closely behind.

Three minutes later, Captain Li Jian said, "Clear!"

Then, he pressed the main light switch in the living room.

The pitch-black interior instantly lit up as bright as day.

The sight of mottled, dried bloodstains on the floor came into everyone's view.

Li Jian holstered his gun and took out his phone.

"Mr. Ma! We found the first death scene of the White Bone case."

Mr. Ma was taken aback and said, "You didn't have any leads by noon, and you found it this quickly?"

"Where?"

"Phase 1, Building 2, 6th Floor, Unit 1 at Jiangnan Lakefront."

"I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jian said, "Let's all head out for now and leave this to the scene investigation team."

Subsequently, Li Jian and the others withdrew outside the door.

Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and two other scene investigation personnel had already prepared themselves.

All four of them were wearing masks, gloves, and shoe covers.

Li Jian raised his hand and patted Jiang An's shoulder.

"There are many bloodstains in the room. Be thorough and aim to find more clues."

Jiang An's expression was grave as he nodded and said, "Mr. Li, rest assured, leave it to us."

Then, Jiang An and Zhang Yean, carrying scene investigation kits, walked in.

Just entering the hallway, Jiang An caught a strong smell of blood mixed with a musty odor.

Past the hallway, Jiang An stood at the entrance to the living room and saw a large area of dried bloodstains on the floor.

Moreover, around the dried bloodstains, there were many small dot-like blood spots.

Jiang An paused to observe that these spotted bloodstains were mostly aligned in a straight line.

The shape was similar to mud particles raised by a tire spinning on a muddy road.

Zhang Yean walked over and followed Jiang An's gaze.

After observing for a while, she asked, "There are so many bloodstains here. Did the killer dismember the body in this area?"

Just as she finished speaking, Captain Li Jian, wearing shoe covers, also walked in.

Jiang An looked up and pointed at the ceiling.

Li Jian and Zhang Yean both looked up simultaneously.

Where their eyes reached, they could still see many small dot-like bloodstains distributed in a banded pattern.

Jiang An observed and analyzed simultaneously.

"Apart from the large amount of bloodstains on the floor, which indicates that the killer dismembered the body here, the dotted bloodstains above also indicate this is the location of dismemberment."

"These tiny dotted bloodstains resulted from the blood on the saw blade being quickly flung away when the electric saw was running at high speed."

Li Jian nodded lightly upon hearing this.

Zhang Yean turned to glance at the floor and suddenly noticed a blank area among many flung bloodstains on the wall.

"This spot is so peculiar, why is this area blank?"

Li Jian also looked at Jiang An with confusion.

Jiang An replied, "The blank areas in the distribution of bloodstains precisely indicate that there was an object blocking the fling of fine bloodstains at the source of bleeding."

Hearing Jiang An's explanation, both of them looked more puzzled.

"What does it mean when an object blocks during the bleeding process?"

"If you still don't understand, I'll demonstrate it for you."

Subsequently, Jiang An opened the forensic scene investigation toolbox and took out a flashlight.

"Let's say this flashlight is the electric saw, and I am the killer."

Jiang An squatted down with the flashlight in his hand.

"The killer uses the electric saw in his hand to cut the body, and the bloodstains on the saw blade's flywheel quickly get flung away."

Zhang Yean said, "You mean circular motion in physics?"

Jiang An nodded and continued to explain.

"When these high-speed flung bloodstains are blocked by my body, the bloodstains will land on my clothes."

"Therefore, the wall behind me becomes a blank area."

Zhang Yean was enlightened, "Got it!"

Li Jian also nodded.

Jiang An stood up, looked at the floor, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, not only were the two victims dismembered here..."

"The accumulated 26 rib fractures in their bodies were also caused by the killer stomping violently on this tiled floor."

Subsequently, Jiang An went to the window in the living room, where the curtains were drawn together.

He raised his right hand, gently pulling the curtains aside, and found the window was closed, and there was a stainless steel burglar-proof window installed outside.

Next, he checked the windows and curtains at the two bedrooms and study, all in the same state.

Finally, he went to the kitchen.

He happened to see Zhang Yean taking pictures of the original item status.

"Any findings over here?"

Zhang Yean continued taking photos while responding, "Nothing of value has been found."

"All kitchen knives are on the knife block, with no signs of use or missing."

"None of the glass bottles in the kitchen are broken."

"This place doesn't seem to have been the scene of a skirmish."

Jiang An glanced around, nodding slightly.

In his sight, Jiang An noticed a double-door refrigerator in the kitchen corner.

"Has the refrigerator been photographed?"

"Not yet!"

"Once you've photographed the original state, I'll open it."

Subsequently, Zhang Yean brought her camera over, bent down, and pressed the shutter.

In the next moment, a "click" sounded.

"Junior, please open the fridge door so I can take another picture from inside."

Jiang An stepped forward, reaching to open the fridge door.

Instantly, a scream echoed inside, "Ah!"

Zhang Yean's face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear, frozen on the spot.

Upon hearing Zhang Yean's shout, Li Jian, Chen He, and Wan rushed in quickly.

"What happened?"

Just as Li Jian spoke, a woman's head appeared before his eyes.

This woman's appearance was identical to the photos in Qin Xiao's album.

Li Jian patted Zhang Yean's shoulder, consoling her, "It's just the head of another female victim."

"The woman had her hair down and eyes half-open, scared me to death."

With so many people around her, Zhang Yean's emotions soon calmed down.

Jiang An moved closer for a look, then turned to say, "Luckily, this room did not lose power, otherwise, it might have been disfigured already."

"There are two characters written on this woman's face."

"Only because it's been in the fridge for quite some time, the writing has faded."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian and Chen He quickly came over.

"What characters?"

"Liar!"
