"It's Madam Jin." Lan Wangji nodded. Although the body was bloated and maggots were all over her, she was still recognizable. Barely.

"Madam Jin as Jin Guangshan's wife? Jin Zixun's mother?" Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji. He did not come close at all because he hated those little creepy crawlies. 

"One and the same." Lan Wangji looked at the wounds all over her body. "Stabbed?" He asked Dr. Xue.

"Many times, with a small knife, probably a fruit knife." Dr. Xue nodded, then he inserted a special ruler inside one of the stab wounds. "Fifteen centimeters deep."

"That must be some kind of a grudge to be able to stab her that many times." Wei Wuxian counted the stabs, but it was hard since some of the skin already peeled away.

"Yeah, thirteen stabs." Dr. Xue gave Lan Wangji the autopsy report. "Do you think Jin Guangshan killed her?"

"Mm… Detective Jiang, can you find out the whereabouts of Jin Guangshan a week ago?" Lan Wangji asked the detective who stood a little bit far away from the autopsy table. He couldn't understand how Lan Wangji's girlfriend, who strangely resembled Mo Xuanyu, could stand being so near to the table with the decaying corpse and without a mask.

"Sure, no problem." 

"How tall is this Jin Guangshan?" Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji while holding the ruler and pushed it inside the wound, it made a roughly fifteen degree angle. "Because, based on the angle of the entry here, the unsub was not that much taller than the victim." He took the autopsy report from Lan Wangji's hand. "She was 160 centimeters tall, so the unsub is probably 165 to 170cm."

"Jin Guangshan was around 185 centimeters tall. While Jin Zixun and Jin Zixuan are around the same, more or less." Lan Wangji guessed their height, based on the few occasions he met them. 

"Probably another female. Did she have any enemies? Maids? Scorned children?" Wei Wuxian asked Lan Wangji, since he did not remember about Jin Su at all.

"She had one daughter, and she… well, she's kinda delusional. I won't be surprised if she's the one who killed her own mother." Lan Wangji could not tell him that she was the one behind his demise the last time, especially since there were Detective Jiang and Wen Qing there. But Dr. Xue seemed to get the gist. "You probably should find out about Jin Su too, since she was still missing after the last time she crashed my parents' anniversary party." Lan Wangji talked to Detective Jiang, and the latter nodded. He wrote something in his little notes he carried everywhere. 

"What about the oldest corpse, Dr. Xue? Were they all died of ero-asphyxiation? Do you have their identities?" Wei Wuxian walked to the nearest table where the oldest corpse was being autopsied.

"We will need to do quite a search in the police database since I suspect these people were some kind of prostitutes or runaways." Dr. Xue took one of the corpses' hands, "see how the nails were uneven?" Then he opened his mouth. "The teeth were misaligned, and showed some kind of decay. Poor hygiene, no dentals treatment, and there were signs of malnutrition. But I should finish the autopsy first, before I can make any conclusion."

"Sure. Meanwhile, can you put a tail on Jin Guangshan, Jin Zixun and Jin Su if she reappeared? She seemed to have disappeared without a trace and she couldn't do that without someone's help." Lan Wangji talked to Jiang Cheng, who became more alert.

"Meng Airan?" 

"Better find out what she's up to. She also disappeared along with Jin Su, right?" Then Lan Wangji turned to Wen Qing. "Did you hear anything else when Meng Airan took you? Any names, places, anything?"

Wen Qing was surprised when Lan Wangji talked to her, she thought the man was angry at her because she kidnapped Mo Xuanyu and got her killed. But it seemed like he did not. He even got himself a new fiance, who looked and sounded like Mo Xuanyu. A little unnerving, but who was she to judge.

"I can't think of anything right now, but I will let you know if anything comes up." She was still traumatized because of that crazy person, Meng Airan, who took her brother and rendered him almost dead, and she would do anything to make her pay. She was still lucky because Jiang Cheng vouched for her and she only got probationary, but that did not mean that she was not guilty. She was one of the reasons why Mo Xuanyu was dead. If only…

"Wen Qing. I trust you will be fine and do the best that you can to continue your life. There's still so much that you can do." Lan Wangji's soothing voice seemed to calm her down. "Just let me know if there's anything you remember, and remember that you still have your brother." It seemed that Lan Wangji could see through her after all. No wonder he was the Hanguang Jun.

"Yes, I will." She looked straight to Lan Wangji's eyes with determination in her mind. "I will use this second chance that you gave me to live my life to the fullest."

"Good. Learn from Dr. Xue, he will be glad to teach you. Right, uncle?" 

Dr. Xue only mumbled his response since he already nose deep in the body.

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian walked out the precinct, with promise from Detective Jiang that he would contact them as soon as there were news about Jin Su, Jin Guangshan and Meng Airan, although Lan Wangji doubted it. But an extra helping hand was always good.

"What's that with the girl, Wen Qing? You both were so intense. Was she your ex-girlfriend or something?" Wei Wuxian couldn't help but feel rather irked. 

"Why, are you jealous?" Lan Wangji smirked at him while he opened the door to the car for Wei Wuxian.

"I plead the fifth." Wei Wuxian pouted and it made Lan Wangji laugh then he ruffled Wei Wuxian's hair fondly.

"Right. So, I want to show you something before we see your cousin." Lan Wangji pushed the start button and he drove away from the precinct.

"What is it?"

"Just wait and see, it's not far from here."

Wei Wuxian wondered what made Lan Wangji look happy. Did he buy something and wanted to brag about it?

He didn't wait too long since it was only a stone throw away. The place they were stopping in front of was located right smack in the middle of the meat district, the busiest district of the town. It was a huge old fashioned church, complete with big yards and two levels of industrial style seminary at the back. There were also vegetable and flower gardens near the seminary, with a pond complete with ducks and a huge willow tree, which seemed rather out of place.

"Uhm, this is a church?" Wei Wuxian was baffled. 

"Yes. It was a church. But now it's empty, and it was on the list of properties that Meng Yao bought with my brother's money. But rest assured, it was already cleared and it was under your name now." Lan Wangji took Wei Wuxian's hand and walked him to enter the church's yard. 

The church had very impressive stained-glass windows all around, and for a church that was built in the 1800s, it was still impressive, although repairs were surely needed.

"Uhm, oookay…"

"This is yours now." Lan Wangji was smiling so bright, the sun couldn't compete with him. "You can do anything you want with it. Although your cousin and I had made a few suggestions."
