One day, three criminal cases were solved, and the efficiency of cracking these cases was truly remarkable.
Especially since two of them were long-standing unsolved mysteries that had languished for years, making them especially difficult to solve.
Due to the resolution of these two cases, the police station's case clearance rate soared to an impressive 100 percent.
All the police officers in the station benefited from Xu Mo's brilliance, each earning the distinguished honor of achieving a 100 percent case clearance rate.
Even higher authorities were impressed, pondering how to commend Han Fei, Xu Mo, and all the other police officers involved.
After all, they had solved three criminal cases in a single day!
And every officer's case clearance rate was an astonishing 100 percent!
A commendation seemed more than warranted.
……
At ten o'clock in the evening.
Another case surfaced.
Han Fei received a call from a content review officer.
"Captain Han, I've made a discovery!"
"Just now, while processing some work, I spotted a girl in a video. That girl... doesn't seem to be alive."
"Not alive? Could you have been mistaken?" Initially, Han Fei was skeptical.
There is a specialized department within the police station responsible for content review, commonly referred to as "content reviewers."
These officers' jobs involve watching illicit videos daily for identification purposes.
Normally, such videos wouldn't feature deceased individuals, which is why Han Fei harbored some doubt, believing the officer might have misinterpreted the situation.
"Impossible. I've watched the footage over a dozen times; I can't be wrong. The girl in the video definitely resembles a corpse. Living people don't exhibit her characteristics."
"The video was uploaded from an IP address in Ram City. The upload time was yesterday. I'll send you the video to take a look."
Shortly after, Han Fei received the video.
He had just finished taking a shower and was about to sleep, but upon receiving the video, Han Fei immediately threw on some clothes and left the bedroom, heading to the sofa where he lowered the volume to watch the footage.
Han Fei's focus was entirely on the girl in the video. After a thorough examination, his brow furrowed tightly.
As an experienced officer, Han Fei possessed extensive criminal investigation expertise. He too noticed something amiss with the girl in the video.
Just as the content review officer had stated, the girl in the video indeed appeared to be a corpse. Her body was extremely stiff, she made no sound, and her breathing wasn't visible.
The drowsiness that had previously plagued Han Fei instantly vanished.
Despite it being rest time, for those in their line of work, there's no such thing as absolute rest—cases require immediate action.
Han Fei promptly forwarded the video to Xu Mo, fearing his judgment might be flawed, and wanted Xu Mo, the expert, to take a look.
The video had just been sent when Xu Mo fired back with a question mark.
Xu Mo: "?"
"Captain Han, sending me this... not very appropriate, is it? Does Sister-in-law know you enjoy watching such content?"
Han Fei, being an older officer, typed slowly, so he gave up on typing and directly called Xu Mo via WeChat.
As soon as the call connected, Han Fei explained, "What are you talking about! Where are your thoughts wandering? I sent you this video because the content reviewer just forwarded it to me. He said the girl in the video doesn't seem alive. What's more, the video was uploaded from an IP address in Ram City yesterday. I glanced at it and felt the girl might be problematic. I sent it to you so you could take a look. You're skilled in autopsy, right? See if the girl in the video has any issues."
"You should have said so earlier. That's why you suddenly sent such a video. Hold on, let me take a look."
While on the WeChat call, the video couldn't be played, so Xu Mo temporarily ended Han Fei's call, plugged in some headphones, and nestled into the corner of the sofa to watch the video.
As a professional, Xu Mo had already determined that the girl in the video was a corpse after just one glance. He spotted a faint livor mortis on her lower leg.
Livor mortis typically appears two to four hours post-mortem, most noticeable in the lowest parts of the body.
Initially, Xu Mo estimated that the girl in the video had been dead for some time, at least two hours or more.
Additionally, there was rigor mortis. Rigor typically starts one to three hours post-mortem, spreading throughout the body in four to six hours, reaching its peak in twelve to sixteen hours, but after twenty-four hours, rigor begins to ease. In simple terms, rigor decreases, and muscles soften again.
Combining these observations, Xu Mo concluded that the female corpse in the video had probably died between twelve to sixteen hours before the footage was recorded.
At that moment, Yang Jingxuan, sitting on the sofa watching TV, noticed Xu Mo's peculiar behavior.
She wondered, "What's Xu Mo watching so intently that he's wearing headphones and huddling in the farthest corner of the sofa while the drama unfolds right in front of him?"
Curious, Yang Jingxuan stealthily approached Xu Mo, sneaking a glimpse at the content on his phone screen.
To her surprise... Xu Mo was watching such risqué videos!
"You scared me to death! Coming this close, do you walk silently or something?" Xu Mo was startled.
"Who says I walk silently? It's you who's too engrossed in what you're watching!"
"So you saw the video I was playing on my phone just now?"
"Yeah! Never would have guessed it, Xu Mo. With that thick, bushy eyebrow look, you're the type... scandalously inclined." Yang Jingxuan squinted her eyes, wearing an expression that seemed to have completely seen through Xu Mo.
Xu Mo: "……"
"It's not what you're imagining. Listen to me explain, I... forget it, I don't have time to explain. I'm heading out."
With the urgency of the case, Xu Mo decided there was no point in explaining and quickly called Han Fei while putting on his shoes, ready to leave.
"Captain Han, I've watched the video. The girl in it is indeed not alive. There's livor mortis on her leg. Her time of death was probably between twelve to sixteen hours before the video was shot. I'm already on my way out. Let's meet at the station."
Since the video was uploaded from an IP address in Ram City and the upload time was yesterday, it fell within their jurisdiction to investigate.
"She's really dead? Alright... I understand. I'm heading out too." With that, Han Fei ended the call and sent a message in the work group, summoning all officers back to duty.
The work group immediately lit up with activity.
"Another case?"
"Good thing I'm not asleep yet, or I would have missed it."
"I've already left the house. It's ten-fifteen now, and there's still over an hour until midnight. Do you think we can solve this case by midnight?"
"I think so. With Captain Xu around, anything is possible!"
"Wow, doesn't that mean our police station solved four criminal cases in one day?"
"……"
