The Crack of Dawn (2022) Chapter 3
As soon as the report was received, the police rushed to the scene and salvaged the body, but no clues have been found so far, and they can only initially judge that it was homicide. Captain Chen Mu had a brief understanding of the situation at the scene and walked straight towards the corpse. When the white cloth was lifted, Su Rui’s pale face came into view. What surprised Chen Mu was that the corpse had no corpse spots.
The forensic doctor explained that it was not that there were no corpse spots, but that the scars were very shallow, and it was judged that the deceased had lost a lot of blood before his death. There was not too much sediment in Su Rui’s nails, no foreign objects in his nose and mouth, and his muscles did not meet the criteria for drowning and suffocation. The forensic doctor’s preliminary judgment determined that Su Rui’s death was caused by severe intracranial hemorrhage caused by the fracture of the skull at the back of the head.
After some investigation, Chen Mu found Xiaonan and asked her to go to the hospital to confirm the body. Hearing Su Rui’s death, Xiaonan’s face was very surprised. Seeing Su Rui, Xiaonan’s face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were full of sadness. Xiaonan said frankly that she and Su Rui went to the riverside last night, because yesterday was the anniversary of her sister Mu Nan’s death. At this time of the year, they would burn paper in the same place to pay homage. When Chen Mu asked about what happened after burning the paper, Xiaonan’s eyes flashed with panic, and a picture of himself struggling in the water while Su Rui stood on the shore and watched. Xiaonan told Chen Mu that after burning the paper, Su Rui answered the phone and left alone.
The police found Xiaonan’s mobile phone a little far away from the burning paper, but Xiaonan said bluntly that she didn’t remember when the phone was lost. Chen Mu then asked about the relationship between Su Rui and Xiaonan. Xiaonan suddenly became angry and aggressive. He got up and left as soon as he finished speaking. On the way back, Xiaonan looked out the window without saying a word. Mama Li wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed back in her stomach.
When she got home, Xiaonan went straight to the room and lay softly on the bed. Grandma knew that Xiaonan felt uncomfortable, so she asked Li’s mother to cook porridge and patted Xiaonan’s back lightly. At breakfast, Xiaonan proposed to move back to the rented house. But Li’s mother didn’t agree with her. She couldn’t stand the darkness and cramping there. Now that Su Rui is dead, there is no need to go back there. Although grandma didn’t understand what Xiaonan was thinking, since she brought it up, she would definitely support it. Seeing this, Li’s mother had no choice but to keep silent. After dinner, Xiaonan moved back to the dimly lit apartment.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a strange piece of paper pasted on the door, and the room was also turned over, creating chaos. Xiaonan squatted on the ground helplessly, sobbing. Lao Mai asked Li’s mother what she did when she borrowed a car from him in the middle of the night last night. Mama Li told Lao Mai not to ask any more questions, and then cleaned the muddy van together.
Xiaonan once revealed to the police that she and Su Rui separated before the heavy rain. However, it rained more than nine o’clock that night, and light rain began sporadically before nine o’clock in the south of the city, and the rain was heaviest at nine thirty. Before 9:30, Su Rui had a few missed calls, and only made one call at 9:30. So, Xiaonan lied. However, Chen Mu suggested another possibility. Su Rui was just pretending to answer the phone, because the missed calls and outgoing calls were all from Yu Hong.
Knowing that Su Rui died, Yu Hong felt uneasy in her heart, and she was in a trance all day. Chen Mu found a real estate company, but unfortunately Hong Qianjie just left. Knowing that the police were looking for her, Yu Hong hurried home to wash her clothes. When Chen Mu knocked on the door, Yu Hong suddenly appeared from behind, as if he had just returned from outside. Chen Mu brought Hong Hong back to the office to inquire, but he did not notice what Yu Hong had just thrown away in the trash can.
Facing Chen Mu’s questioning, Yu Hongya denied her lover relationship with Su Rui, and moved Su Rui’s photo aside with disgust on her face. As everyone knows, the police already have this clue. With the evidence in front, Yu Hong had to confess that Su Rui called her that night to tell her not to wait for him. So, on July 4th, Yu Hong and Su Rui met at the Jialing Hotel. Back home, Yu Hong squatted in the corner with a broken expression.
