Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 592: Chapter 585: Cold Case

Sisi could hear the anxiety in Zhong Anmei’s voice, so she patiently chatted with her on the phone until Shangguan Qing finished work before hanging up.

"What’s wrong? Who has disappeared?" Tian Xinhua asked.

"Lu Yunfei, do you remember her?"

Tian Xinhua shook his head without hesitation; the name sounded like a woman, how could he possibly remember her, and even if he did remember, he would pretend not to!

However, the name did sound familiar, and seemed slightly recognizable.

Sisi didn’t really expect Tian Xinhua to remember someone who couldn’t even be considered a friend more than ten years ago, so she reminded him, "It was in 1975, when we went to play at our uncle’s in Inner Mongolia, and camped on the prairie with Brother Gangzi and Brother Junzi; she was the one who danced the Dai dance."

Then Tian Xinhua recalled her; indeed there was such a person, not very good-looking, she clashed with Ah Nan, not a good person,

"Could it be that this Lu Yunfei is the one who disappeared?" Upon hearing that the annoying woman was mentioned, Tian Xinhua immediately lost interest, but still casually asked about it.

Feeling somewhat gloomy inside and not much in the mood to eat, Sisi thought about showing the photo to Tian Xinhua, so she took it out of her bag.

Tian Xinhua took the photo and examined it under the light for a while, not understanding it, and used a questioning look to ask Sisi what it meant.

"Do you think what’s on this man’s hands is mud or bloodstains?" Sisi asked.

Tian Xinhua became interested upon hearing this and studied it intently, saying with certainty after a few minutes: "Bloodstains, the color of mud isn’t this dark."

Seeing that Sisi looked uneasy, Tian Xinhua asked concernedly, "Ah Nan, why suddenly ask this question? Who is the man in this photo? Did he do something?"

Sisi then explained the origin of the photo and the unidentified female body discovered in the past few days, as well as the affair between Doctor Guo and Lu Yunfei.

"So, Feifei and I think this Doctor Guo must be the murderer. We were going to warn Lu Yunfei about it, but unexpectedly she has been missing for three days now, don’t know if anything has happened?" Sisi said uneasily.

Tian Xinhua hardly thought that such a murder case had occurred in Capital City, it sounded like the murderer was abnormal.

"Did you guys turn the photo over to the police? This sort of thing should be handled by the police." Tian Xinhua said.

Sisi weakly replied, "An Mei said she has already handed the photo over to the criminal investigation team."

"Well, that settles it then, the police will find the murderer, you don’t need to worry unnecessarily, just hurry up and eat." Tian Xinhua put the bowl in Sisi’s hands.

Sisi thought it made sense; everyone has their own expertise, she, who totally lacks logical thinking, should not worry about this matter!

In the following days, Sisi did not visit Capital City, and since she was leaving in a few days, she had packed her luggage. During the daytime when she had nothing to do, she would take her two children out shopping for snacks. She bought a lot of local snacks and filled up her storage space so that even after returning to the Capital City, she could eat them whenever she wanted.

Zhong Anmei called every day to report the progress of the case, saying that Lu Yunfei had not been found up to now, and not a single clue was found, the police station had already filed the case, and the identity of the deceased had also been clarified.

The deceased was a Wudan from Capital City Dance Troupe, somewhat famous locally, thirty-two years old, divorced without children, reportedly had three abortions for the sake of her career, and it was for this reason her ex-husband could not endure and divorced her.

The police also found that Lu Yunfei had a history of two abortions, both times because the timing of the pregnancy coincided with major performances, and Lu Yunfei, not wanting to lose the chance to be the lead dancer, went to the hospital for abortions without her husband’s knowledge, finally Rong Zhen Sheng made the ultimatum ’divorce if no child’, forcing Lu Yunfei to give birth to Rong Ziqi.

Both Wudan and Lu Yunfei were patients of Doctor Guo, who is a gynecologist and quite renowned locally.

And the police also found that Doctor Guo had been married once before, his ex-wife was a dancer and even a principal dancer at the City Dance Troupe, though that was many years ago.

At that time, his ex-wife aborted the child she had difficulty conceiving, simply because she didn’t want to give up the opportunity to lead a major dance drama to her competitor, which caused a fallout between Doctor Guo and his ex-wife, resulting in a divorce six years ago.

"Where is Doctor Guo’s ex-wife now?" Sisi asked with an unsettling feeling in her heart.

"She disappeared, five years ago, and remains missing to this day," Zhong Anmei said dryly.

Indeed, she had disappeared!

Sisi sighed. Everything fit the characteristics of a serial murder—the selfishness of the ex-wife led to Doctor Guo’s psychological paranoia, which then led him to seek out women similar to his ex-wife and exact revenge.

"Why did his ex-wife have so much difficulty conceiving? Was it because she was ill?" Sisi asked.

"No, it was Doctor Guo’s own issue; he had oligospermia and found it very hard to conceive naturally, which is why his ex-wife was so angry about the miscarriage," Zhong Anmei explained.

So that was it. A long-awaited child, difficult to conceive, and then lost—an agony unbearable for anyone, let alone for Doctor Guo, who dearly loved children.

It appears these three women all had something in common—they had all aborted for rather selfish reasons, and Doctor Guo, being traumatized by the loss of his hard-earned child, became psychologically paranoid, taking advantage of his position to identify and approach these targets, and ultimately killing them using such brutal methods.

Although these three women were indeed selfish, they didn’t deserve to die, especially not in such a tragic manner.

Doctor Guo was undeniably a deranged individual. Sisi shivered, unable to comprehend how such a twisted person could have such a pleasing aura, seemingly devoid of any hint of bloodshed.

And Sisi was certain, Doctor Guo must have taken more than just these three lives; it was just that the other victims hadn’t been found yet.

"Did the police arrest Doctor Guo then?" Sisi inquired.

Zhong Anmei’s tone was peculiar, "No, after all the investigations, the police found no direct evidence linking Doctor Guo to the murder, and his colleagues and friends all testified that he could not possibly be a murderer. They also mentioned he was a very kind person, particularly charitable, using his salary every month to buy supplies for orphanages, having done so for six years straight. How could such a compassionate person possibly be a murderer? Plus, Doctor Guo himself consistently denied being a murderer."

"Is there not that photo? Photos are direct evidence, aren’t they?"

"It’s useless, Doctor Guo insisted that day he had fallen and was washing off the mud in the stream. He’s responded the same to numerous police interrogations, and there was nothing the police could do, as even if it was truly blood, it was long washed away by the stream water."

"So this case will remain unsolved?"

"What else could be done? However, I heard from Ah Qing’s comrade that they are still watching Doctor Guo, waiting for him to slip up."

Until Sisi left F city, the police had yet to catch any mistake of Doctor Guo’s, and perhaps they never would.

Because Doctor Guo’s request to serve on a medical aid mission in Africa was approved, and he left G city a month later to become an honorable overseas aid doctor, with uncertain return.

Doctor Guo’s ex-wife and Lu Yunfei remain missing persons, perhaps one day their bodies will be discovered by accident, or perhaps they will never be found.

Perhaps they were cooked and eaten by Doctor Guo, maybe their bodies were dismembered and thrown into the sea, or perhaps they ended up in the vast wilderness...

After all, who could predict how a psychopath might dispose of bodies?

And who knows if this psychopath will continue to kill even in Africa?
