Chapter 97: The Vanished Her: Good Person
Chapter 97
Chen Xue said, "Mian Mian, I won\'t like any other celebrities either."
Mu Mian seemed to understand the irreplaceability of Su Momo as an idol for Chen Xue.
Su Momo\'s room had many traces of her life. There was fallen hair on the bed, which, judging from the color and texture, should be hers; there was also hair on the comb; minute oral epithelial tissue was detected on the toothbrush; and there were cut fingernails in the trash can. Mu Mian collected all of these as samples for DNA testing.
The police also notified Su Momo\'s father, informing him that Su Momo was missing. At first, Su\'s Father appeared very indifferent, saying that Su Momo\'s life or death had nothing to do with him. Later, when he learned that DNA testing was required and that Su Momo might already be dead, he immediately changed his tune, saying he would definitely cooperate with the police\'s work.
"Officers, you must find my daughter\'s body as soon as possible!" Su\'s Father choked out a few dry sobs, but his voice was still full of vigor and devoid of emotion. "My poor daughter, I want her to rest in peace quickly. Officers, you must notify me immediately if you have any news."
Fang Rui corrected him, "Mr. Su, we haven\'t confirmed whether your daughter is dead or not yet."
"In any case, you must notify me first if there\'s any news! By the way, how will my daughter\'s assets be handled? I\'m her biological father, I have the right to dispose of her inheritance, right? That manager of hers is very bad and extremely cunning, she hurt me terribly before. I\'m worried she might swindle away all of my daughter\'s inheritance..."
Fang Rui was speechless. Su Momo\'s father didn\'t care about his daughter\'s life at all, only her property.
He specifically investigated Su Momo\'s father. When Su Momo was in high school, Su\'s Father had absconded with the family\'s wealth and eloped with his mistress. Su Momo\'s mother couldn\'t handle the shock, developed mental problems, and soon after committed suicide by slitting her wrists at home.
After Su Momo became famous, Su\'s Father shamelessly came back asking for money. When he didn\'t get it, he threatened to spread rumors and smear Su Momo as unfilial. Later, it was Su Momo\'s manager who used tough measures to warn Su\'s Father, and he never dared to trouble Su Momo again.
Fang Rui somewhat regretted contacting Su\'s Father. If something really happened to Su Momo, letting such a scumbag get the inheritance would be too infuriating.
Fang Rui quickly found out that his worry was unnecessary. Su Momo\'s lawyer said she had made a will. 60% of her estate would be donated to charity organizations, 20% would be given to Liu Yaying, 10% would be given to her manager Sun Qin\'s daughter Sun Miaomiao, and the remaining 10% would be set up as a fund to regularly send money to the rural schools she had been supporting.
Even though Su Momo had fallen out with Liu Yaying, she still hadn\'t told her lawyer to modify the will.
Fang Rui asked Li to retrieve the surveillance footage from near the crime scene.
To protect privacy and prevent unauthorized filming, there were no cameras installed in the entire makeup area. However, there was a camera installed at the entrance of the makeup area - a long corridor.
The camera faced the corridor entrance, and anyone entering this corridor would have their face captured by the camera.
Fang Rui and his team obtained the surveillance footage from the day of the incident.
The footage showed that around 3:21 PM, a woman who was wrapped up tightly and suspected to be Su Momo appeared in the frame. She was accompanied by Qi Fang and two bodyguards wearing black jackets.
The woman was wearing a gray coat, a mask, and a baseball cap, with her eyes hidden behind large sunglasses. If you only looked at her face, it was hard to tell who this person was.
So Fang Rui asked Su Momo\'s manager and assistant to help identify her.
"This is Momo," Su Momo\'s manager Sun Qin said confidently. "This coat is a limited edition from V brand, and in China, only Momo, as the brand ambassador, has this coat. The appearance and figure are very similar. And look at her wrist, that diamond watch is Momo\'s favorite watch. Unless she\'s filming, she never takes it off."
Qi Fang also agreed: "Sister Momo was wearing these clothes when she went out. And there\'s me and two bodyguards beside her, it must be her in the surveillance footage."
The surveillance showed Su Momo entering the makeup area, but it didn\'t capture her leaving.
This meant that Su Momo was either still in the makeup area, or had already been taken out by the killer in some way.
Fang Rui led a team to conduct a thorough search of the entire makeup area, but they didn\'t find Su Momo or any suspicious traces.
Logically, an injured person moving around would inevitably leave traces.
It would also be difficult for the killer to move a corpse out without attracting attention from others.
The next afternoon, the DNA test results came out.
"The blood found at the scene belongs to the same person, and it\'s highly likely to be Su Momo\'s," Mu Mian said.
The samples found from Su Momo\'s home belonged to the same person, and those samples matched the blood samples collected from the scene, belonging to the same person. Moreover, Su Momo\'s father\'s DNA sample also matched the blood samples collected from the scene, showing a parent-child relationship. These could prove that the blood at the scene was very likely Su Momo\'s.
Mu Mian continued: "Based on the analysis of the blood pool area and blood viscosity, there was about 800-900 milliliters of blood at the scene."
"This amount of blood loss is definitely life-threatening. It\'s been a day now, if Su Momo didn\'t receive treatment, she should be dead by now," Chen Xue analyzed, her expression a bit sad. "But where could Su Momo\'s body be? Why would the killer go to such lengths to hide the body?"
Mu Mian reconstructed the crime scene situation on the whiteboard:
A person was lying flat on the ground, both of her wrists were cut, and blood flowed out forming a pool.
Mu Mian reported: "Based on the blood situation at the scene, she was lying flat on the ground, the arteries on both wrists were cut open, and blood flowed out from the wounds on both hands."
Looking at Mu Mian\'s drawing, Fang Rui suddenly remembered that cursed doll. That cursed doll was also covered in blood, with a scar on each wrist.
"Fang Rui, doesn\'t this way of dying seem a bit similar to that doll?" Mu Mian reminded.
Everyone looked at Fang Rui and Mu Mian. Chen Xue asked curiously, "What doll?"
The matter of Su Momo definitely couldn\'t be kept secret anymore, so Fang Rui decided to tell everyone: "Previously, someone placed a cursed doll covered in dog blood on Su Momo\'s bed. The chief thought she might be in danger, so he sent Captain Li and me to investigate."
