The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space

Chapter 547: Under careful investigation (page 14)

Xia Meng entered the morgue and saw the body that had been sewn up.

The body was headless and a piece of its chest was missing; all that could be seen was that of a female, of medium build and on the thin side.

Captain Hu stood aside and said to Xia Meng,

"Looking at these cuts, the murderer probably didn't hesitate at all when he struck."

Xia Meng nodded, "Besides, he must have a place to dismember the body."

Even dismembering a body is a strenuous job.

And the murderer must have a hiding place since he has not been discovered for such a long time.

Faced with the corpse that was sewn up with thread and looked like a rag doll, Xia Meng showed no fear or discomfort. She carefully observed the details on the corpse, hoping to smell some special clues that could help solve the case.

"Huh?" Xia Meng suddenly pointed at a small wound on the body's ankle and asked Captain Hu,

"This is?"

Captain Hu said, "It looks like it was torn by something...a wire, or cut by a knife or a small piece of metal."

The wound was very small and was not worth mentioning compared to the horrific cut, but Xia Meng somehow felt concerned about this tiny wound.

"Such small wounds are not uncommon," Captain Hu pointed to some other small wounds on the body.

"When the murderer dragged the body, it was inevitable that he would bump into it or cut the skin."

Xia Meng nodded without saying anything. She sniffed the corpse carefully and smelled a faint stench.

The victim had been dead for less than a day, so logically, it should not have been time for him to rot.

However, the body was found in the river. It had just rained, and the water was rather turbid. A lot of dirt flowed into the river, so it was not surprising that there was a foul smell.

Xia Meng didn't find any useful clues on the body.

Xia Meng returned to the office building and took care of her work first. After get off work in the afternoon, Xia Meng went to the place where her aunt sold milk tea yesterday.

When Xia dreamed, the old lady from yesterday was already there. There were many children and older children gathered in front of the stall.

These children are very polite and lined up to get milk tea.

The old lady had a warm smile on her face. She picked up a large paper cup with her left hand, scooped milk tea from the bucket with a spoon in her right hand and poured it into the paper cup. She then inserted a straw and handed it to the child in line.

Today, the old lady put several buckets of sweet milk tea in her cart. Although Xia Meng could smell the fragrance from it, she...

For the children in the queue who haven't had milk tea for a long time, a cup of milk tea at this moment is enough to make them feel happy.

These kids called their friends and actually brought quite a lot of people.

When the aunt saw Xia Meng, she waved to her happily. Xia Meng walked forward and asked, "Do you need help?"

"Yeah!"

So, Xia Meng helped the aunt pack milk tea for the children.

Some children who didn’t know before later came to line up when they were seen on the street, and finally there were more and more people lining up.

Fortunately, Auntie prepared enough milk tea, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to share.

However, in the end, some children who arrived late did not get any milk tea. With tears in their eyes, they looked at the aunt with disappointment and sadness.

Auntie apologized.

"Kids, we're really out of milk tea. I'm so sorry."

Fortunately, these children were relatively sensible and shook their heads, saying: It’s not the aunt’s fault, they just found out too late.

After the children had dispersed, the aunt smiled and said to Xia Meng,

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would not be able to handle it alone."

Xia Meng, "Thank you for your hard work."

Auntie smiled and said, "This is not hard work. Don't forget that you gave me money. I am happy to be able to make money!"

Xia Meng picked up the rag and helped her aunt clean the car, but she saw a cup of milk tea in the car with a lid on. Xia Meng thought it was empty, but when she picked it up, it was full.

When the aunt saw this, for some reason, her expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

"This...is reserved for you."

Because Xia Meng had her back to the aunt, she did not see the momentary stiffness on the old woman's face.

"Left it for me?"

After Xia Meng was surprised, she was moved, "Thank you so much."

"Of course, of course," Auntie said with a smile, and then she said to Xia Meng,

"Take your time to drink. I'm going home first."

Xia Meng, "Okay!"

Watching the aunt walk away, Xia Meng looked at the milk tea in her hand. She really didn't want to drink it. Not only was the milk tea made by the aunt too sweet, but the aroma might be difficult to detect for others, but for Xia Meng, the smell was too strong and it was really hard for her to ignore.

But wasting food is shameful!

So, Xia Meng gave the milk tea to a little kid who was squatting on the roadside, who had just waited in a long line but didn't get any free milk tea.

The child was very happy when he saw the milk tea Xia Meng handed to him.

"Thank you, sister. Thank you, beautiful sister."

Xia Meng laughed, "What a sweet little mouth!"

The little boy chuckled twice, then impatiently inserted the plastic tube and took a big gulp.

"cough cough..."

Perhaps the little boy drank too quickly and choked.

Xia Meng waited for the little boy to stop coughing and asked worriedly, "It's okay, it's okay," the little boy waved his hands.

"Sister," the little boy moved his mouth as if he was chewing something, and then looked at Xia Meng with surprise.

“There are pearls in here!”

The little boy ate with such happiness on his face that his eyebrows were curved.

When Xia Meng saw the child’s happy expression, the corners of her mouth curled up as well.

However, the smile on Xia Meng's face suddenly disappeared, and she recalled what the little boy had just said:

Sister, there are pearls in it!

Sister, there are pearls in it!

Xia Meng is not picky about food. When she buys milk tea, she will put some small toppings like pearls, pudding, and grass jelly in it.

But why did the aunt put pearls in her milk tea?

Her aunt never asked her if she liked pearls.

However, it is normal for the aunt to have pearls at home since she sells milk tea. Did the aunt put pearls in the milk tea specially to thank her?

It's not impossible.

But Xia Meng always felt that something was wrong.

Another possibility is that this cup of milk tea was not prepared for her at all, but for someone else.

But even if this cup of milk tea was not prepared for her, the aunt could just say it directly. Why should she hide it?

Are you afraid that she will be unhappy?

There are too many suspicious points.

But these doubts can be explained by other reasons. Is she thinking too much?

Xia Meng was thinking about this question while eating dinner.

Today, Xia Meng ate a whole roasted lamb.

Xia Meng saw a new whole lamb roasting shop opened on the street, and because it was a new shop, it offered a 10% discount.
