Chapter 152 - 152 Reunion

152 Reunion

Pain flashed across Hu Jin’s face. He looked at the female police officer who was sitting opposite him and accusing him righteously. The pain gradually turned into malevolence. “He’s dead. The child is dead!”

Shen Yin clenched her fists tightly, and her voice was trembling. “It’s impossible for you and Wang Gang to have mutilated the corpse to that degree. I’ve checked, and all the internal organs were completely removed. The cuts are neat, so it must have been done by a professional! Who’s the other accomplice?!”

Hu Jin’s eyes suddenly bulged, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Meng Heng knocked on the door of the interrogation room and asked Shen Yin to leave with him.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Yin asked, suppressing her irritation.

Meng Heng took out a small transparent packet filled with powdered drugs. “This was found under Hu Jin’s sofa.”

Exhausted, Shen Yin held her forehead and walked to the surveillance room with Meng Heng.

The surveillance cameras showed that Hu Jin, who had been nervous and aggressive just now, was now lying on his back. He was foaming at the mouth and his entire body twitched and trembled. It was obvious that he was addicted to drugs.

Zou Sheng smacked his lips. “No wonder he had so much savings but still needed so much money. He’s a drug addict.”

Meng Heng frowned and could not bear to watch anymore. He looked away from the screen and looked at the gloomy Shen Yin. “Sister, why did he insist on cutting out a child that’s about to be born?”

“He sold it.” Shen Yin closed her eyes. She could only think of one answer. “The child was already at full term and was ready to be born. My guess is that Hu Jin privately contacted a human trafficking ring. Wang Gang was only in charge of bringing Tan Li to the ring. The rest was done by the people in the ring.”

“How are we going to trace that?” Zou Sheng looked at Hu Jin through the camera again, his eyes filled with disgust. “This person is so vicious to have done such a thing.”

“If you’re addicted to drugs, you won’t stop at anything.” Shen Yin expressionlessly took the drugs to run tests on them. “You can go to where the body was found to see if there are any new clues. Also, you can contact the narcotics police and see if they have any clues.”

Wu Zheng nodded and gave Meng Heng a look.

Meng Heng immediately understood and walked off to begin investigating.

The case was under intense investigation. Shen Yin left the laboratory and collapsed into her office chair. She wrote a report and handed it to the Drug Enforcement Unit and Wu Zheng.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, her phone suddenly rang.

Ever since Old Master Lian’s accident, Shen Yin had turned up the volume of her phone, afraid that she would miss a call from home.

Now the phone rang unexpectedly, scaring Zheng Ling, who was also in the office.

She hurriedly patted her thumping heart and looked at Shen Yin timidly.

Shen Yin apologized to her in embarrassment, picked up the phone, and hurried out of the office.

Cheng Huo said mysteriously over the phone, “Beautiful forensic pathologist, are you free for lunch?”

“Sorry, I don’t have any appetite today. Maybe next time.” Shen Yin refused immediately. Lian Jing was difficult to get along with, and Cheng Huo was a playboy. She did not want to provoke either of them. Moreover, today’s investigation had revealed a series of secrets which had made her lose her appetite.

“Do me a favor.” Cheng Huo whined pitifully over the phone. “I specially reserved a place at a restaurant today. You’ll definitely like it.”

“No.” Shen Yin rubbed the space between her eyebrows. Then she remembered that she could pick up the dry cleaning after work. She paused and added, “Where do you work? I’ll bring the clothes to you tonight.”

Cheng Huo was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he realized that she was talking about the gown and jacket that she had not returned to him after the charity gala. He shook his head helplessly and smiled. “It’s better for me to pick you up. This way, we can go for dinner directly. You still owe me a meal!”

At this juncture, it would be rude for Shen Yin to refuse. Moreover, Cheng Huo had paid for the previous two meals, which made it even more difficult for her to refuse. She smiled and agreed. “Alright, then you must let me treat you to this meal. You’re not allowed to pay again.”

Satisfied, Cheng Huo hung up the phone and spent the entire afternoon watching the clock. When it was finally time for Shen Yin to get off work, he immediately set off and obediently waited for her at the entrance of the police station.

After picking up Shen Yin, the two of them went to the dry cleaner’s to get the clothes.

Cheng Huo casually threw the clothes into the backseat and asked her with a smile, “Where are you going to treat me to a meal?”

Shen Yin knew that although this person seemed to be idle, he was actually a tycoon. She was afraid that he would not like the places she frequented, and she would appear to be insincere about treating him to a meal, so she let Cheng Huo decide.

Cheng Huo thought for a moment and drove to a high-end restaurant.

“Let’s eat here.” Cheng Huo got out of the car and opened the door for Shen Yin. He smiled and tried to hold her hand.

Shen Yin discreetly avoided his hand and nodded with a distant smile.

When they walked into the restaurant, a woman in a black uniform was standing in the lobby. When she saw Shen Yin, her warm smile froze.
