We arrived at the Tianlan City Public Security Bureau. From the outside, the building was brightly lit, indicating that a large number of police officers were working overtime. A few of us shook off the rainwater from our bags and walked inside, where several officers who had been waiting for us took our luggage and arranged our accommodations.
Before everything was fully settled, we requested Yuzelin to take us to see the body. Upon reaching the autopsy room of the Police Department, we saw the outline of a corpse. As we uncovered the white cloth draped over it, we found the body of a woman in her twenties lying quietly beneath.
Examining the body closely, there were no visible bruises on her exterior, suggesting she had not been beaten before death. However, upon further inspection, we noticed a large gash on her throat, with the left side wider than the right (from the victim's perspective). This indicated that the Killer was not left-handed, which aligned with what we knew about the Demon Boy.
Juan Juan brought over the autopsy report from the Police Department and said to us, "The fatal wound is this cut on her throat. The cause of death is multifaceted. The Killer's strike was deep; although it did not sever her cervical spine, it sliced through her trachea, esophagus, and blood vessels."
"The carotid artery was severed, causing a significant amount of blood to flow into her Lungs through the trachea, leading to respiratory distress," Juan Juan continued. "Excessive blood loss combined with blood accumulation in the Lungs resulted in brain hypoxia. This process likely took about a minute. Due to the severed trachea, the victim could not make any sound in her final moments and died in desperate agony."
Looking closer at the body, we saw that her mouth was open, revealing a glimmer of light through the cut in her throat. The hollow mouth lacked a tongue, creating a terrifying sight reminiscent of a dark abyss that stirred unease within us.
Juan Juan used forensic forceps to probe inside the woman's mouth to assess the situation further. After a moment, Juan Juan remarked, "It seems that after she died, the Killer inserted a knife into her mouth and sliced downward, directly severing her tongue from its root."
In a nearby container lay a long tongue. An adult tongue is typically about nine centimeters long; usually only two or three centimeters extend outward from the mouth. However, seeing it laid out before us was unsettling and evoked images of hanging ghosts with their long tongues exposed. This was indeed the woman's tongue.
Yuzelin stated, "When the forensic expert extracted this tongue from her lower body, it had already been soaked in semen for quite some time." Upon saying this, Yuzelin's face involuntarily displayed a look of disgust. "According to the forensic expert, it was inserted only after she died."
Rape, throat-slitting murder, and removing and inserting the corpse's tongue into her lower body—this series of methods mirrored a case from three years ago that occurred in Silver City known as the Throat-Slitting Demon Case. Both Silver City and Tianlan City are located in the northwest; after selling his possessions and evading police surveillance, it is highly likely that this Demon Boy came to Tianlan City.
"Have you identified this woman yet?" I continued to inquire.
Yuzelin nodded and replied, "By around evening today, we had confirmed her identity. Her name is Roland; she was a second-year Marketing Major at Tianlan City's Industrial College. Yesterday was Thursday, but she did not attend class. She claimed to her roommate that she was going to find her Prince Charming and did not return all night until around noon today when her roommate reported her missing."
"But at that time, Roland was still alive," Yuzelin explained. "It wasn't until later that evening when we discovered her body that we found her identification on her clothing confirming her identity. In other words, we learned about her disappearance before discovering her body."
From Yuzelin's words, we could analyze several things: first, Roland likely did not have a habit of staying out overnight; otherwise, her roommate wouldn't have reported it so soon. Secondly, Roland had been missing for two days and one night—what had she been doing during that time? Who had she met? This should be our breakthrough.
I said, "What exactly happened during those two days and one night when Roland went missing? This is our breakthrough point; who is this Prince Charming she mentioned? Is he related to this case?"
Yuzelin nodded and said, "Yes, we have already started investigating this matter."
Now that it was late, there was nothing more to uncover tonight. Whatever needed to be done could wait until tomorrow. The rain outside continued to fall, showing no signs of stopping. Feeling somewhat damp, I lay in bed and found myself thinking about the Demon Boy, eventually drifting off to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the results of the semen samples sent to the center for comparison had already been returned. Yuzelin looked at the document in shock, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor. Seeing her reaction puzzled me; I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Yuzelin handed me the document, and upon glancing at it, I was equally astonished. According to the report, the mixed semen did not belong to a single individual. The center had identified DNA from about a dozen different people, one of which indeed matched that of the so-called Demon Boy.
However, there were still eleven other DNA samples whose identities remained unknown. This meant these individuals had no criminal records and were not listed in the police DNA database. I passed the document around for everyone to see, and they too were taken aback; no one had anticipated this outcome.
"It's been raining lately, and aside from the Killer's footprints at the scene, we only found traces of other people's footprints. We've already ruled out any suspicion of him being a murderer. If there really are a dozen people involved, why is there only one set of footprints? If Roland's footprints were absent, we could assume that the Killer carried or controlled her, but what about the others?" Yuzelin voiced her concerns regarding this unusual finding.
Such results could not possibly be a mistake on the center's part. If no other footprints were found at the scene, then it could only mean one thing: Roland must have already had this mixture of semen inside her when she went to the greenhouse. If that's the case, things were heading in an unpredictable direction.
I rubbed my temples and addressed everyone, "If that's true, then Roland might be far more complicated than we initially thought—just an ordinary college student on the surface. There must be some hidden identity behind all this. Our immediate priority is to investigate who Roland really is!"
A student claiming to seek her Prince Charming goes missing for two days and nights, only to be found dead in a suburban greenhouse with semen from over a dozen individuals. The Killer had committed four sexual assault cases three years ago as a minor and was now a millionaire; meanwhile, in Tianlan City, a house costs just four hundred thousand.
I shook my head; there were many secrets hidden within this case.
The Industrial College in Tianlan City is located in the northern part of town and belongs to a relatively underdeveloped area. Aside from an exceptionally popular internet café, there are no luxurious places for spending money since most of the audience here are students. We managed to find Roland's classmates and learned about how they viewed her.
To her classmates, Roland was simply cute-looking with average academic performance and kind-hearted—a typical student at an ordinary school. She was currently in her second year and had yet to find a boyfriend. Normally she never skipped classes; however, on Thursday she broke that pattern by skipping class to seek her Prince Charming.
Initially, her dorm mates thought she had gone out on a date and didn’t think much of it. But when Roland didn’t return that night and calls to her phone went unanswered, they began to worry.
As night fell and everyone went to bed without any sign of her return, their concern grew even more when she still hadn’t come back by morning. They reported her missing when calls continued to go unanswered. As for what Roland was doing or who this Prince Charming might be—no one knew. However, before she left, she had chatted on QQ; perhaps there would be some clues hidden within those conversations.
Death is the most important thing, and now is not the time for us to think about anything. We opened Roland's computer, which was probably Doraemon's desktop. QQ recorded the password, so we didn't have to work hard to solve the puzzle. But since it is a girl’s thing after all, it’s better for Dezi and I to stay away and wait for Mary, a computer expert, to find any useful clues. We sat on the girl's bed. From time to time, various girls deliberately looked at us at the door. After a while, many people gathered around. They looked at me and Dezi as if they were monkeys. I really couldn't believe it. Nowadays, girls like the uncle type. If you put it this way, I am quite attractive. About an hour later, Mary finally found something useful in Roland's computer. Mary looked at the people around her and could only whisper to me: "I found some useful clues, but it's a bit * *, there are a lot of things you shouldn’t see inside, there are too many people here, let’s get to the car.” I nodded and could only say goodbye to these girls reluctantly. When we got into the car, Mary spoke to us: "I just found an encrypted document in Roland's computer, but it's obvious that she is a computer novice. I cracked the encryption of this computer with almost no skills. Documents. There are a lot of incredible things inside. "What?" I asked curiously. Mary said: "I found a lot of photos of Roland wearing sexy underwear in it, and I also found a lot of photos of Roland's sex, if my guess is good. This Roland is not an ordinary student, in fact, she is very likely I have masochism, which is M.
