Chapter 162: Chapter 159 The Same Person Died Twice in Different Places

Breaking into the Lu Family mansion at night, I discovered many unusual things.

Qin Zhao turned around for a while longer, but when she didn’t find anything else out of the ordinary, she decided to leave first.

She arrived at the parking spot only to see Chu Yan leaning against the car, staring at her with a brooding gaze.

"Why did you follow me?"

"And you have the nerve to ask!"

Chu Yan’s temples throbbed as he said irritably, "Did you find any clues?"

"There’s more than one victim."

"What do you mean?"

"There’s a dismembered body in the garden, the deceased is named Gong Leyi."

"Gong Lexin, Gong Leyi, what’s their relationship?"

"They look somewhat alike, they must be relatives, I guess."

Qin Zhao released Gong Leyi’s soul.

Gong Leyi stood there woodenly, looking at Qin Zhao with unfamiliar eyes.

"Who are you?"

She clearly asked this question but acted as if she didn’t recognize Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao furrowed her brow, a strand of golden light appeared at her fingertips, touching the soul’s forehead.

It was then that she discovered a seal on Gong Leyi’s soul, a seal that would erase her memory periodically, keeping her forever in a state of confusion and ignorance.

Gong Leyi’s soul was obviously being exploited, which was why it was suppressed under the Feng Shui Bureau in the garden.

The person who placed this seal probably did it out of fear that she would regain her memory, thus absorbing the dense Yin energy from beneath the ground and turning into a powerful evil ghost.

Qin Zhao took some effort to remove the seal on Gong Leyi’s soul.

But upon removing the seal, she didn’t regain her past memories, only that she wouldn’t forget them anymore.

"My name is Qin Zhao, I found out that you died unjustly in the garden of that mansion."

Qin Zhao pointed in the direction of the Lu Family.

"Died unjustly? Why?"

Gong Leyi looked at her puzzled, her thoughts as blank as a sheet of paper.

Qin Zhao felt that for the time being, she couldn’t extract any useful information from her, so she recaptured Gong Leyi’s soul.

"She does bear a resemblance to Gong Lexin."

Chu Yan saw Gong Leyi’s soul, his eyes slightly darkened.

"How did you find her?"

Chu Yan still remembered that Qin Zhao said she hadn’t seen any souls during yesterday’s banquet.

"There’s a Feng Shui Bureau in the garden, she was suppressed underneath. Also, in the soil of the Bellflower patch, I discovered human broken bones, likely hers."

Qin Zhao brought out the broken bones, showing them to Chu Yan.

As a doctor, Chu Yan quickly confirmed they were human bones.

"We can have the Criminal Police Team compare the bones with Gong Lexin’s DNA, there is definitely a connection between them. Understanding this connection, we might be able to solve the case."

Qin Zhao nodded, "Okay, we’ll go to the Criminal Police Team right now."

On the way, Qin Zhao was driving.

Chu Yan, holding the bones, had a face that alternated between light and darkness.

"If their deaths are related to the Lu Family, what do you plan to do?"

Suddenly hearing Chu Yan’s question, Qin Zhao was taken aback.

"Of course, let the police arrest them, is there any doubt?"

Chu Yan laughed enigmatically, "Zhaozhao, in this world, there are many people who commit illegal acts and do not necessarily get punished. If the Criminal Police Team dares to arrest them, they might even lose their jobs."

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but think of the conversation between Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing; they seemed to want to use their connections to transfer Huo Xun away from the Criminal Police Team and stop him from continuing to investigate this matter.

The beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, with a few hints of coldness mixed within.

"First we find out the truth, then we’ll talk."

The two of them arrived at the police station and handed over the broken bones to the forensic doctor.

Qin Zhao also told Huo Xun about his overhearing Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing’s conversation.

Huo Xun’s face turned ashen, "I knew there was something wrong with them! I didn’t expect that one dead Gong Lexin wasn’t enough, and now there’s another victim! Even if they transfer me, I’ll continue to investigate!"

"Perhaps Gong Leyi died first, was there any bad blood between them?"

A criminal police officer went to look into Gong Lexin’s dossier.

The Best Actress came from the slums of HK, and later entered the entertainment circle there, but her career didn’t take off for a long time.

It wasn’t until she came to the mainland to develop her career and starred in several movies that became blockbusters, winning highly prestigious awards, that she slowly began to rise to fame.

Given her complex background, her family relations were difficult to investigate.

The Criminal Police Team called and asked Gong Lexin’s old friends in HK, and only then did they find out that she had a sister, but the other party did not know what name the sister went by.

Moreover, Gong Lexin’s sister had disappeared seven years ago.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan didn’t stay at the police station for long, the relationship between Gong Lexin and Gong Leyi could only be confirmed after the DNA results were in, which would be available the next day.

The two returned home very late, washed up, and went to bed.

The next afternoon, Qin Zhao received a call from Huo Xun.

The DNA results showed that Gong Lexin and Gong Leyi had no blood relation!

"I didn’t expect this outcome; I thought Gong Leyi was Gong Lexin’s sister who had been missing for many years."

Hearing the disappointment in Huo Xun’s tone, Qin Zhao didn’t speak.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Qin Zhao’s mind.

"Are you sure the Gong Lexin you found is really Gong Lexin?"

Huo Xun paused, "What do you mean?"

"Gong Lexin’s face showed signs of cosmetic surgery, but a person’s Fate Diagram and Qi Fortune don’t change just because of plastic surgery. I felt from the beginning that the Fate Diagram of the corpse didn’t match her identity.

If someone had cosmetic surgery to look like Gong Lexin, and you were led to believe the deceased was her, that’s why there would be no blood relation in the DNA test. Is that possible?"

"That’s possible, but your conjecture is far-fetched."

Huo Xun exhaled lightly and said, "Gong Lexin is an actress; it’s normal for her to have work done on her face. Her fans often complain that she doesn’t look quite the same as before.

If it’s not her, why would the victim have surgery to look like her?

Could it be the murderer’s doing, purposely finding someone to undergo surgery to resemble Gong Lexin and then kill her?

It’s a hassle, and how could the murderer convince the victim to have surgery to look like Gong Lexin?"

Towards the end of his thoughts, Huo Xun felt a chill run up his spine.

Cosmetic surgery requires a healing period, and if the deceased truly isn’t Gong Lexin, that would mean the murderer has been planning for a long time and their motive is certainly not simple!

At that moment, an officer ran in.

"Captain Huo, there’s been another incident!"

"What happened?"

Huo Xun didn’t hang up the phone, quickly asking for details.

"During a press conference Lu Tingming held today, halfway through, a corpse fell from the ceiling and landed in front of everyone."

Huo Xun’s expression immediately turned grave, "Another person is dead?"

"Yes, and the victim, she’s also Gong Lexin!"

"What?!"

Huo Xun’s eyes widened in shock as he rose from his seat.

Wait, wasn’t Gong Lexin’s body still at the police station?

The same person dying twice in different places? How is that possible!
