Quill personally led his men to investigate the scene but they could not find any clues. He was feeling anxious again.
He had been swamped with work for the past two days, then such a big case popped up suddenly. If it went on like this, he would not be able to continue holding his position as sergeant of the Paramount Criminal Police Team.
He was so angry that he growled, "D*mn it!"
When one of the team members heard him curse, he tilted his head and asked, "Boss, does this case remind you of anything?"
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and find some clues." As the head of the team, Quill had the opportunity to come into contact with cases that other teams had handled before. Of course, he was familiar with the case in front of them.
Two years ago, there was a huge case at a farm in the western suburb. But, there were only a handful of people who knew its details; one of them was him.
It was also a dismembered corpse case!
The flesh from the corpses was arranged around the house, forming the word 'kill'.
The two were so similar that Quill believed that the current case must have something to do with the case in the western suburbs two years ago, but he didn't dare to speak irresponsibly.
The Western Suburb Criminal Police Team had just closed their case. The Liley Park victim was determined to be the killer from two years ago that committed the murder at that farm. This case had just been closed two days ago, yet such a case has emerged at the moment.
He wondered if the murderer was laughing at the incompetence of the Chatterton Town police.
Furthermore, what did the word 'kill' mean?
Did it mean that the murderer wanted to continue killing or was it something else?
Quill couldn't figure it out.
Then, what about Adrienne?
What was she thinking about at this moment?
He turned his gaze to search for Adrienne in the crowd. After looking for a while, he finally found Adrienne in a corner. She was dressed in her white work clothes.
She looked more delicate than usual as if a gust of wind would be enough to topple her over. However, she did not let it affect her work. She carefully put the pieces of the bodies into a bag, her face like an expressionless robot.
This scene inexplicably made Quill's scalp tingle again.
He had been a policeman for many years, hence he had seen more crime scenes than Adrienne. Earlier, when he rushed to the scene and saw the flesh pieces all over the floor, he got goosebumps. Adrienne was young, but her calmness was chilling.
"Sergeant Scott, we've finished searching the scene but we still haven't found anything," a member of the team came up to report. Quill withdrew his gaze, pushed his discomfort to the back of his mind, and ordered, "Secure the scene and get some men to guard the area. The rest can help Dr. Jacob and Dr. Carter carry the corpses back."
The team member replied, "Understood."
Quill walked up to Zelson and Adrienne. "Zelson, Adrienne, have you guys found anything?"
Zelson stopped his work and looked at Adrienne with his head aslant. Adrienne understood what he meant and told Quill, "The scene is very clean and the bodies are destroyed. We can't even determine the approximate time of death for the two bodies right now. We'll have to take the bodies back to complete the autopsy."
"Okay." Quill nodded. "Adrienne..."
