A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

27

Early in the morning, the temperature dropped sharply.

　　In Team D of Kowloon Police Station, Zhou Fengxu pushed open the door of his office and a white round object was thrown to him. He took it and unfolded it to see that it was a steaming bun.

　　Shi Boren was still asleep. Even though he had sprayed mousse all over his short hair, a strand of it still stuck up. He took a bite of the meat bun and tugged at the collar of his jacket. "The weather has changed. It's really getting colder. I got up early to buy some of the most famous Chung Kee buns in Causeway Bay before I checked in. Let me try it."

　　Zhou Fengxu took the bun and thanked him, then put it on the table and asked, "Is there any new progress in the human skin case?"

　　The victims of the human skin case, except for the known female, have not yet been identified. Team D has worked overtime for the case.

　　Gan Yizu stood up and picked up a document from his desk. "In addition to recording the information about dandruff, the Law and Politics Department also recently discovered oil in the nails. After three rounds of identification, it was determined to be lard."

　　Important clues!

　　After Gan Yizu's report, the indoor temperature rose significantly.

　　Zhou Fengxu picked up the marker in the office and wrote the word "lard" on the whiteboard.

　　"Lard?" Shi Boren bit a bun and looked at the whiteboard. "The marks of chopping meat bones do look like a machete chopping pig bones. Could it be that the murderer is a pork seller?"

　　"Lard has a wide range of uses. Some Hong Kong residents also like to use lard when cooking."

　　The voice came from the corner. Luo Qizhong was sitting by the window drinking coffee, blowing on the warm coffee, his eyes looking at the whiteboard.

　　"Uncle Zhong." Zhou Fengxu closed the cap of the marker pen, "The body was found at the Kowloon Street Market. Take your men to the market to find the stall selling lard and investigate the customer list."

"Boren, take Yizu to check the Jiulong slaughterhouse and see how many markets they supply their products to. Also check out the private pork sellers."

　　"Yes, sir!" Luo Qizhong responded immediately after putting down his coffee.

　　Everyone went out together.

　　The landline rang.

　　Gan Yizu picked up the phone, listened to what was said on the other end, and looked at Zhou Fengxu with an embarrassed expression: "Brother Xu, a male corpse was found in Kai Tak River, and the case has been assigned to Team D."

　　Isn't there no time to look for clues about lard?

　　"All Hong Kong citizens are keeping a close eye on the human skin case! If there is any mistake, why are you assigning me another task?" Shi Boren was dissatisfied.

　　"Let's go to Kai Tak River first." Zhou Fengxu took the ID card on the table and said, "Let's go."

　　Kai Tak River is one of the main open channels of Hong Kong. It is about 2.4 kilometers long to the east and both sides of the ditch are full of garbage.

　　The serious crime squad arrived and a cordon had been set up at the scene, with nearby residents being kept outside the cordon.

　　Zhou Fengxu raised the cordon, bent over and entered, followed by Shi Boren, Gan Yizu, and Luo Qizhong. Also present were people from the forensic department.
