Zhao Yan finished speaking, and everyone present fell silent.
Having been a police officer for so many years, Uncle Qin was very familiar with this case.
He immediately went to Zhao Yan's side and looked at the victim's neck.
Zhang Yi also walked over, looking at Zhao Yan with confusion: "There are no marks on the victim's neck, how did you determine it was a left-handed person?"
Zhao Yan's face was calm: "I told you, I'm a fortune teller and physiognomist, and I pay special attention to every part of a person."
"You can shine a UV light on the victim's neck, it will definitely leave a trace."
Li Mulan personally followed Zhao Yan's suggestion, and there would be no falsehood in this.
"Can a flashlight do?" Zhang Yi asked.
Zhao Yan hummed softly.
Uncle Qin said, "Turn off the lights."
With a "click," the lights went out.
The flashlight shone on the victim's neck. Indeed, there was a very faint pinch mark, and it was indeed the left hand when compared.
"Holy cow, there really is! It's miraculous." Zhang Yi's expression couldn't be described as just surprised, but rather as if he had seen a ghost.
The lights in the room were turned on, and Old Qin extended his hand, looking at Zhao Yan with surprise.
"Xiao Jiang, the person you invited is quite capable. If it weren't for her suggestion, we might have fallen into a misunderstanding."
"If we had treated this killer as the serial killer from 1996, the consequences would have been severe."
If Zhao Yan hadn't been there, such a small detail might have been discovered.
But it wouldn't have been discovered so soon, perhaps after some time, and during that time, another victim might have appeared.
This judgment undoubtedly saved someone's life.
Old Qin extended his hand: "Qin Guozhang, what is your name, young lady?"
Zhao Yan extended her hand and said, "Hello, Elder Qin, my name is Zhao Yan."
Jiang Yu's face showed surprise. Old Qin introducing himself like this was enough to prove his high regard for Zhao Yan.
"Miss Zhao, I'd like to hear more of your reasoning. You've truly surprised me," Old Qin said earnestly.
Zhao Yan nodded: "Since Elder Qin thinks highly of me, I will share my own thoughts."
"This killer is arrogant and cautious, and also a perfectionist. Whether it's the backflow technique or carving the letter 'h' on the victim's ankle, both were done exactly like the 1996 killer's crimes."
"This is also what led Dr. Zhang into a misunderstanding, after all, replicating such things is extremely difficult."
"Therefore, this killer must have found a practice subject."
Jiang Yu said, "There haven't been any missing person cases recently."
Zhao Yan remained silent. Jiang Yu thought for a moment and immediately grasped what Zhao Yan was about to say.
"Miss Zhao, are you suggesting that the killer didn't practice on living people, but on dead bodies?"
Zhao Yan nodded: "That's right. Some villages still practice burial, and the bodies remain."
"Or they buy corpses. I once saw online that a internet celebrity died and was bought by someone to be used as a corpse bride for an arranged marriage."
At the time, seeing that almost shattered Zhao Yan's worldview.
There are still beasts in the world, and many of them.
"This is indeed a clue," Jiang Yu made a phone call, instructing people to start an investigation immediately.
"Since he is a perfectionist, he will commit another crime."
"It's best if he doesn't, but we can't be too careful."
The reason Zhao Yan dared to be so sure was that she saw the ominous signs on Officer Qin's face, and he was likely to encounter the killer tonight.
Thinking this way, the ominous signs on Officer Qin's face could be explained.
"Miss Zhao is right, we can't be too careful, dispatch more police force quickly."
A bold idea popped into Zhao Yan's mind: "I'm a fortune teller and physiognomist. You might not believe what I'm about to say, but I still want to share my judgment."
"Officer Qin has a great misfortune sign and may encounter the killer. Instead of dispatching police forces to blindly search for clues, it's better to let events unfold naturally. We just need to follow Officer Qin."
"To prevent this event from deviating, we must keep it from Officer Qin. The fewer people who know, the smaller the deviation."
"Fortune telling and physiognomy?"
If it weren't for the astonishing deduction just now, if she had spoken of fortune telling and physiognomy, Elder Qin would naturally have dismissed it.
To make others believe you, you naturally need to demonstrate some ability.
But now, although he had some doubts, he felt it was worth a try.
"I must say, Miss Zhao, your suggestion is very bold!" Elder Qin said.
Jiang Yu scratched the back of his head and said, "Master, this Officer Qin is your grandson, Qin Xuan."
Elder Qin was stunned and immediately said, "What's wrong with my grandson? Should my grandson get special treatment? Don't do anything unnecessary!"
"On our first day as police officers, we should understand our mission. Protecting the people is our top priority! Let alone him being my grandson, even if he were my father or my ancestor, he would have to do his duty when the time comes."
Zhao Yan was filled with respect.
Jiang Yu saluted: "Yes, Master!"
"Only a few of us know about this matter. No one else should be told, to avoid any leaks," Elder Qin instructed.
"Understood, understood."
Zhao Yan said softly, "Elder Qin, can I go back to my shop first and come back around six or seven?"
During this time, she wanted to make more protective talismans. These were lovely people, and she didn't want to see them in danger.
"Yes, let Xiao Jiang take you," Elder Jiang said.
Zhao Yan did not refuse.
She got out of the police station with Jiang Yu and got into the police car.
Arriving at the shop entrance, Zhao Yan got out of the car and said goodbye to Jiang Yu.
As soon as she entered the shop, Wu Jiaxin stood up and asked, "Sister Zhao, how did it go?"
Zhao Yan said softly, "It's not clear yet."
As she spoke, she heard voices from upstairs.
"It's like this, do you still remember Brother Liu from the live stream?" Wu Jiaxin said.
"You mean the one whose wife was a man?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Yes, he found our shop and brought a guest, saying he had something to ask you."
Zhao Yan was about to say she was busy, but before she could, Brother Liu slowly helped an old woman downstairs.
He was completely different from his previous scruffy image. Wearing a small suit, carrying a small bag, and a designer watch, his style had instantly elevated several notches. He was confident, with a hint of the arrogance that a young person should have.
"Finally, I've waited for Master Zhao. I came here specifically to ask you for a reading."
Since the person had come, Zhao Yan couldn't refuse. A reading wouldn't take ten minutes.
Glancing at the old woman behind Brother Liu, Zhao Yan asked, "Are you here to have your grandmother read?"
Brother Liu let out a sound of "ai," rolled his eyes, and chuckled: "Master Zhao, you lack foresight. This is my dear!"
"She's celebrating her seventieth birthday tomorrow, and we specifically came here to ask you to pick a good day and get a longevity charm."
Zhao Yan said "oh" and chuckled inwardly. Picking a good day was fake; the real intention was to find out when the person would die.
