The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Wouldn't it be such a coincidence?

Lin Xin heard Officer Tang’s report and immediately said to him: "Okay, let's go right now, and you can send us the location." After she finished speaking, she closed the phone and said to Yang Cong and Mei Hua: " Onion, turn around, Officer Tang and the others found a female body in the river."

"Good." Yang Cong said quickly. He hurriedly dropped back to the front of the car, followed Lin Xin's navigation and drove towards the riverside that they said.

"Sister Lin, what's the situation?" Mei Hua asked from behind.

"I don't know yet. Officer Tang just said that a corpse was found, but he shouldn't know what happened." Lin Xin frowned and said.

The corpse was found again in Longshi, which will definitely bring another sensation to such a quiet small town.

Lin Xin still remembered that about a year ago, they excavated Lu Hongyun's body in the grass field of a high school in Longshi. At that time, the whole thing caused a sensation in Longshi.

Now, after Lu Hongyun, another corpse was discovered in a river in Longshi, which is not sure what kind of shock it will bring to Longshi.

They drove quickly to the bank of the river and saw that many police officers had already gathered there, and Officer Tang had already arrived. The police officers and the forensic doctors entered the river together and were salvaging the bodies.

Lin Xin glanced at the river bank and saw that it was very remote. Apart from them, I never saw anyone else.

When they opened the door of the car, bursts of stench puffed their noses. Lin Xin said quickly: "Put on a mask, this smell is very strong, I think it should be a week since the deceased died."

Mei Hua asked, "Could the deceased be the same Chen Yanling who Xiaoying came to report this morning?"

"Well, it should be her." Lin Xin said.

Lin Xin and others later found Officer Tang. When they came to him, they saw that his brows were deeply furrowed and his eyes were heavy, and they knew that he felt a headache about this case and paid great attention to it.

The bright and dazzling yellow warning belts were later surrounded by layers of layers by the river bank, while Yang Cong and Mei Hua went to patrol the scene separately, leaving Lin Xin standing next to Officer Tang. When she looked around, she asked, "Officer Tang, what do you think?"

"Officer Lin, I think the identity of the deceased should also be clear." Officer Tang sighed.

"Yeah." After Lin Xin responded briefly, she turned her head and watched them salvaging the corpses.

After a long time, she asked again: "How did they find the body?"

"Did you see those two police dogs? If it weren't for the sharp nose and brought them here, I don't think anyone would have thought that there were dead bodies floating in the river. You see, there are so many weeds in this place. I don't know if anyone has been here before." Officer Tang said as he pointed at the two police dogs that kept barking by the river bank.

After Lin Xin glanced at the two police dogs that were controlled by the police officers, she turned her head and looked at the inspector who was crawling along the river bank and carefully inspecting the footprints, and said: "Yes, the murderer came here to throw Corpse. Let's listen to the trace inspector in a moment."

While they were talking, the body was successfully salvaged. At this time, the stench was even stronger and abnormal, but Lin Xin reluctantly came to the corpse with Officer Tang.

When they looked at the highly decomposed corpse at their feet, they saw that the deceased's pants had already disappeared except for his upper body's clothes. Lin Xin made a preliminary speculation and said: "The deceased was a woman, and she should have been sexually assaulted before she died."

Then, she looked at the feet of the deceased again and said, "The shoes of the deceased are gone."

Officer Tang followed Lin Xin's eyes and glanced at the feet of the deceased, and muttered: "After the deceased was thrown into the river, the shoes worn under his feet should have been washed away by the river."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xin shook her head and said: The shoes may have been washed away by the river, but what kind of shoes did I think of the dead woman? "

After listening to Police Officer Tang, he laughed and said, "Officer Lin, you are always thinking about the case of Yangshi in your mind, and the idea of ​​high heels has also been brought in."

Lin Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, I don't know why, I always feel that things are not that simple. Now there are even murders in such a quiet town as Longshi, which makes me feel very strange. . Maybe I think too much, or maybe it is really related to the murder case in Yangshi, alas, I don’t know. Let’s see what the forensic doctor said.”

After she finished speaking, she asked the forensic doctor in a low voice, "How's it going?"

The forensic doctor frowned and said: "According to the preliminary investigation, the deceased died for about a week. Then, according to the death of the deceased, she was likely to have been sexually assaulted. However, because the corpse was highly decomposed, we An autopsy must be performed to confirm whether she has been sexually assaulted."

Lin Xin nodded. Before she could say anything, she heard several other police officers who were searching in the river not far away calling out, "Officer Tang, we found a female wallet in the river!"

After they listened, they quickly came to the police officers. Officer Tang took the wallet from them, and when he glanced at the face and name on the woman’s ID, he said in a deep voice, “The deceased is indeed Chen Yanling.”

Lin Xin glanced at the photo and saw that she was beautiful and looked exactly like the girl in the photo Xiaoying showed them this morning. Then she glanced at her name again and said, "Well, she really got caught. Murdered."

Since the body has been soaked in the river for many days, the evidence on the body has probably been washed away by the river. The forensic doctor greeted several people and asked them to help them put the body into a black plastic bag, and then sent her to the autopsy room of the Longshi Public Security Bureau.

"Officer Tang, I'm still thinking about the shoes. I didn't find the shoes of the deceased one day, and I felt very uneasy in my heart." Lin Xin frowned and said. She had a big hunch that Chen Yanling's death should not be easy for her.

"They will continue to do the search. Why don't we go back to the Public Security Bureau to discuss it?" Officer Tang said.

"No, Officer Tang, we are more than just discussions. I want to meet people who have had contact with Chen Yanling, including her boyfriend, roommate, teacher and classmates."

"Well, why don't we wait for Chen Yanling's identity to be confirmed, and then go to the school to negotiate with the principal." Officer Tang nodded in agreement with her.

At this time, Yang Cong and Mei Hua had also come by their side. Officer Tang turned his head and ordered the police officers beside him, saying: "You must find the shoes of the deceased, or anything related to her. I will be with you these days. Officer Lin is going to XX University. If you have news, please notify me as soon as possible."

After the police officer listened carefully to the boss's instructions, he agreed in a low voice.

As a result, everyone rushed back to the Public Security Bureau again. Lin Xin reported the news of Longshi to Police Officer Wu in Yang City along the way, and then reported the information here to her boss, Director Wang. While talking, they have returned to the city's public security bureau.

Several people hurried to the autopsy room and saw that the forensic doctor was dissecting the autopsy. He looked up at them and said: "The deceased woman was confirmed to have been sexually assaulted, but she did not leave many sperm spots. I think first: she was soaked in the river for a long time, so the traces were washed away, and second : The murderer who sexually assaulted her and killed her probably put on a condom while doing the crime. So, I want to belong to the second person, then the murderer probably has already been prepared."

"If the murderer comes prepared, is it possible that an acquaintance committed the crime?" Officer Tang murmured.

Lin Xin lowered her head and thought, for a long time, she said, "Well, it is possible. If it is not an acquaintance who committed the crime, it may have been following the deceased for a period of time. If she is really followed, then what purpose did the murderer follow? What about?"

At this moment, Yang Cong, who was standing on the side, intervened and said: "If the murderer really followed the dead woman early in the morning, then he was probably attracted by certain characteristics of the murderer."

Just after Yang Cong finished talking, Lin Xin flashed in her mind. She quickly took out her phone, picked up the photos, and said, "Chen Yanling is taller than ordinary women. Does the murderer have a habit of tall women? ?"

For some reason, the murder case of Peng Jingchun flashed into Lin Xin's head again. She said, "Peng Jingchun is not too small, and taller than the average woman. Why? Normally men don’t look for short women to work. It’s easier to move the victims or even kidnap them. However, these two women don’t seem to be petite. Are these just coincidences? It just so happened that both murderers picked slightly taller ones. Women come to commit crimes?"

All kinds of speculations passed through everyone's minds in an instant, but until now, it seems that there is no speculation that can guess the real purpose of the murderer in killing people.

"Inspector Lin, what do you want to do now?" Officer Tang and Lin Xin and the others left the autopsy room and asked as they walked.

Lin Xin touched her chin and said, "Now the body is highly decomposed, and its appearance is unclear. Even if Chen Yanling's parents come to identify the body, it may not be able to identify it accurately. Therefore, we had to wait for the DNA department. After giving us the correct information, we can go to the school to inquire."

Officer Tang led them to the conference hall again. At this moment, the phone in his trouser pocket rang. Officer Tang turned on without looking, only to hear a rushing voice from the other side: "Officer Tang, we found the shoes of the deceased woman, a pair of blue high heels."

High heel. .

"Okay, I see." Police Officer Tang immediately covered the phone, then turned to Lin Xin and the others and said, "The shoes of the deceased woman were found. They are a pair of blue high heels."

When Lin Xin heard the news, she said: "So, the deceased woman was wearing high heels when she died. Then, if she is proven to be Chen Yanling, she is most likely murdered after the dinner. It was precisely in response to her roommate Xiaoying that she disappeared a week ago. Although the deceased’s high heels were found, it doesn’t mean that we can match the case in Yangshi, because they are very useful. It may be two completely different cases, not by the same person. However, Officer Tang, we still have to go to school. I want to confirm one thing to Xiaoying..."

"What's the matter?" Officer Tang asked curiously.

"I don't know, but I just want to ask Xiaoying whether there have been cases of theft of underwear, underwear, etc. in the female dormitory of their school..."

When Lin Xin said these words, her tone suddenly became cold.
