"Commander Yun Xiaoxiao, who are you talking about?"
"Who is the murderer?"
Many people turned to look at Yun Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Why had a murderer suddenly been brought into the conversation?
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but instead raised her eyebrows and looked at the man who had first accused Ling Jing.
Everyone followed her gaze.
When they saw it was that man, they were all taken aback.
"He's the murderer?"
"Who did he kill?"
"What's going on here?"
Feeling all eyes on him, the man became uncomfortable.
But he knew that if he showed weakness now, it would be as good as a confession!
So, he maintained his composure and deliberately displayed anger at being falsely accused.
"Commander Yun Xiaoxiao, you can't make such reckless accusations. You can't slander me just because I voiced my suspicions about Ling Jing!"
Seeing that he wouldn't admit defeat until forced to, Yun Xiaoxiao gave a cold laugh.
Pointing at the corpse on the ground, she said, "He didn't fall by himself. You injured him and deliberately smeared zombie blood and brain matter into his wounds!
Then, you waited until he started to transform and couldn't control his consciousness to tell the truth, before bringing him here.
This way, you could have him die in front of everyone and clear your name without anyone knowing.
You first called for help loudly, getting Ling Jing to come save him - you had already planned to divert everyone's attention and shift the blame.
As long as everyone focused their accusations on Ling Jing, no one would think about the truth behind this incident."
At first, she hadn't noticed anything unusual either.
But just now, when everyone started targeting Ling Jing, this man had unconsciously revealed a smile of success.
In his moment of pride, he had exposed his true intentions.
That's when she understood that today's events were all deliberately orchestrated.
The purpose was to use Ling Jing as a scapegoat, perfectly clearing someone else of their crimes!
It was indeed a clever plan, but also truly vicious!
The man was shocked internally, amazed that Yun Xiaoxiao had figured everything out!
Had this young girl been at the scene?
Had she seen everything?
No, that's not right - she hadn't exposed him at first, so she couldn't have known.
Yes, she doesn't know!
She must be guessing, trying to trick him!
And even if she did know, so what?
She has no evidence!
Having made up his mind, the man regained his composure.
He glared angrily at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"You're spewing lies! I didn't kill him. Don't try to shift attention away from Ling Jing by directing accusations at me!
You say I killed him - where's your evidence?
Throwing accusations without evidence is called framing! It's slander!"
"Heh, who says I don't have evidence?" Yun Xiaoxiao gave him a sidelong glance.
Pointing at the corpse, she continued, "We can just examine the injuries on his body to see if you beat him.
Besides, injuries from being beaten by a person look very different from zombie scratches or falling injuries."
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled leisurely, her smile full of deeper meaning.
The man's heart skipped a beat, and before he could think of a way to stop it, Yun Xiaoxiao had already called someone over.
"Aunt Long, please help examine the injuries."
As soon as she finished speaking, a capable-looking middle-aged woman stepped out from the crowd.
"Aunt Long used to be the leader of the police special operations unit and has seen all kinds of criminal cases. Examining injuries on a body is certainly within her expertise."
Yun Xiaoxiao gave this brief introduction, then politely nodded to her.
"I'll leave it to you."
But the man wouldn't have it, glaring with furious eyes.
"She's from your Yun City, she'll just say whatever you want her to say!"
Yun Xiaoxiao stroked her chin, "In that case..."
She looked around the crowd, "Would anyone else with experience in examining injuries please come forward to help with the examination?"
After she spoke, people looked at each other and began whispering among themselves.
Soon, someone stepped forward from the crowd.
It was a man around thirty-five or thirty-six years old.
He introduced himself, "My name is Wu Da, I used to be a forensic pathologist."
Seeing him, the accused man tried hard to suppress his overwhelming joy.
Perfect!
With Wu Da here, he would surely speak in his favor!
Yun Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of the man's expression.
Although he had hidden it well, she still noticed the flash of joy in his eyes.
Lu Chen saw it too, and warned,
"We should find a few more people."
Yun Xiaoxiao had the same thought.
So, several more people were selected.
These people were all from other bases.
There were police officers, forensic experts, surgeons...
Once everyone was ready, they used a cloth to create a barrier around the corpse.
Then, the examining personnel went inside together.
Everyone watched the situation carefully.
Their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
The wait seemed long.
After about twenty minutes, Aunt Long and the others finally came out.
"How is it?"
"What's the result?"
"How did he actually die?"
Everyone eagerly asked questions.
But Aunt Long and the others said they needed to check the scene of the incident.
Yun Xiaoxiao saw from the man's evasive eyes that he would definitely try something.
Sure enough, when it came time to point out the exact location, the man's attitude was suspicious.
Yun Xiaoxiao took the initiative, and in just a few words, left the man nowhere to hide, forcing him to indicate the true crime scene.
While he was still regretting this, Aunt Long and the others went to investigate.
They used flashlights to examine everything carefully.
Shortly after, Aunt Long and the others stood up.
Seeing everyone looking their way, Aunt Long gestured for the others to state their findings first.
After all, she was from Yun City.
If she spoke first, people might not trust her assessment.
It would be better to let others speak first, and she could add supplementary information.
They were all professionals, and their findings should be similar to hers.
It didn't matter who spoke first.
So, one of the former forensic pathologists began speaking first.
"Looking at the victim's injuries, there are heavy impacts to the jaw, head, chest cavity, and abdomen.
Based on the severity of the bruising, these were inflicted recently.
Blood in the hair has been roughly wiped away.
The killer clearly tried to hide something.
The wound on the victim's ankle doesn't match the scrape marks on the wall at the crime scene.
Those wall marks must be from something else.
We found a bloody brick fragment nearby.
Judging by the color of the blood, it was recently stained.
That should be the weapon that caused the victim's ankle injury.
Additionally, we found a cigarette case.
The lower right corner of the case has two colors - black-red and light yellow.
Initial assessment suggests these are zombie blood and brain matter."
After he finished, another police officer added, "Besides what my colleague mentioned about the cigarette case, I also found a faint fingerprint on the upper left corner.
With professional equipment, we could extract the fingerprint for comparison."
