Due to the severe decomposition of the victim's body, there was no way to freeze it.
Therefore, cremation was carried out after the autopsy.
Now that the identity of the victim cannot be confirmed, we can only start from the tattoo.
So, how to find as many relevant clues about butterfly tattoos as possible across the country has become a problem that currently plagues the task force.
In the evening, the task force discussed the matter.
Ye Xiaoyu proposed a method, which was supported by everyone in the task force.
That is to go to forums, post on the Internet, and seek help from netizens.
Don't underestimate the Internet forums of this era. There are a lot of weird netizens on them, and there are answers to all weird posts.
So, Ye Mo immediately asked Zhang Xiaofan to post on the forum that night.
…
Sure enough, within two days, many netizens responded to the post.
One of the netizens’ answer caught Zhang Xiaofan’s attention.
He claimed that in 2003, he went to the coastal city of Jianyang for bathing and massage, and saw more than one woman with butterfly tattoos on her buttocks. At that time, all the technicians in the bathing center had such butterfly tattoos on their bodies.
In fact, the so-called bath and massage is prostitution.
The so-called technician is a lost woman.
The implication is that this netizen often visits prostitutes in Jianyang City, and the girls there have this tattoo on their bodies.
If what the netizen said is true, then this clue will be very important.
Jianyang City is located in the south of Ninghai City, about 600 kilometers away from Ninghai City.
That place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, dark and evil forces are entrenched, and there are many unknown things hidden behind it.
There are also many hidden underground pornographic industries.
Some gang organizers will use human trafficking, coercion and inducement to control women and force them into prostitution.
Moreover, this industry also has its inside story.
There are territorial divisions.
If other ladies dare to come to other people's territory to grab business, their hands will be cut off if caught.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening, gangs will have their people tattoo a certain part of the body.
And it is mandatory. Regardless of whether the person is willing or not, they must get a tattoo, otherwise they will be beaten severely.
…
If the victim was really a woman who had fallen off her feet, then the investigation direction of this case would have to be transferred to Jianyang.
So, Ye Mo continued to ask Zhang Xiaofan to post.
Soon, more answers were received from netizens.
Moreover, netizens also revealed the location of the bathing center.
That is the Ashin Hotel located on Baoyue Road, Jianyang City.
On the surface, the hotel is a formal foot massage place, but in fact it is secretly providing prostitution services.
Moreover, many netizens said that the technicians there would tattoo butterfly tattoos on the same parts.
Even over time, so-called secret codes appeared.
Several workers would say this when they were on vacation: Let’s go see the butterflies at night!
Going to see the butterflies is actually looking at the young lady’s butt.
It means going to whore.
But then again, catching prostitutes is not Ye Mo's business.
The interest relationship behind this cannot be shaken casually.
But you can't let the case sit there like this.
So, Ye Mo contacted the Jianyang City Public Security Bureau and explained the situation.
After learning that the person in charge of the case was the daughter and son-in-law of the Ninghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary, the local police did not dare to be careless and immediately sent people to the Ashin Hotel to investigate.
Sure enough, three days later, there was new progress in the case.
There is a female technician in the Ashin Hotel who has been missing for more than a month.
Moreover, the height and body shape are also relatively consistent with the characteristics of the victim.
After learning the news, Ye Mo and Lin Xuan immediately led a task force to Jianyang City to investigate.
The missing female technician is named Wang Yanmei and she is 27 years old.
Through investigation, the police found personal items used in the dormitory of Wang Yanmei's work unit, and extracted DNA from the personal items for comparison.
Seven days later, the comparison results came out.
In the office, Ye Mo was still analyzing the case.
Ye Xiaoyu rushed in excitedly.
"Team Ye, the comparison results are out and the victim is confirmed to be Wang Yanmei." Ye Xiaoyu was extremely excited.
"Really?" Ye Mo stood up directly.
The other police officers handling the case suddenly became energetic.
"This is a fax report from the Public Security Department. It is absolutely true." Ye Xiaoyu was very excited.
"All hard work pays off. It's all up to you to come up with this solution this time, otherwise the case will really not be able to be solved." Ye Mo said.
"It's all thanks to everyone, I just made a suggestion." Ye Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed to be praised by Ye Mo.
…
Soon, the Sifang County Public Security Bureau also learned about the matter.
The director was as excited as if he had won the lottery.
Sure enough, the task force of Ye Mo and Lin Xuan was not in vain.
…
Today is the 16th day after the incident, and the case finally made a huge breakthrough.
The enthusiasm of the police in the task force for handling the case was once again high.
No one expected that this should have become an unsolved case.
But I didn't expect that I would be able to find clues through the help of netizens on the forum.
…
In the office, Ye Mo and the police on the task force began to investigate Wang Yanmei's personal information.
Wang Yanmei, from Nanhu, is 27 years old, 1.6cm tall, married and divorced, and has a 3-and-a-half-year-old child in her hometown.
Her parents are still alive at home, and she has a younger sister who works in Jianyang City like her.
The job is the same as hers, washing people's feet in a bathing center.
After investigation, it was found that Wang Yanmei had been engaged in prostitution before, but now she was doing regular foot massage.
The former owner of Ashin Hotel was sentenced to life imprisonment for operating a casino and organizing prostitution.
After the new owner took over, it was changed into a regular foot massage city.
After Wang Yanmei and other technicians were released from the detention center, they were trained and began to perform serious foot massage work.
Still working at Ashin Hotel.
After confirming that Wang Yanmei was the deceased, the next step was easier.
The first step is to investigate her social connections.
Wang Yanmei has a colleague named Xiaofang, and they live in the same dormitory.
In the interview room, Ye Mo and Lin Xuan questioned Xiaofang.
"Wang Yanmei, does she have any bad habits?" Ye Mo asked.
"I don't have any big bad habits. I just like smoking, drinking, and playing cards." Xiaofang replied.
"Is it playing cards or gambling?" Ye Mo asked seriously.
"Is there... any difference?" Xiaofang was a little confused.
"It's called playing cards when friends and family celebrate the New Year, and it's called gambling when strangers place bets in a casino." Ye Mo said.
"Then...that's gambling." Xiaofang replied.
"Does she have any foreign debt?" Ye Mo asked.
"There is no foreign debt, and Xiaomei often wins money playing cards, and her daily expenses are very generous. She always asks people for money and debts, and no one has ever asked her for money." Xiaofang replied.
