The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Hou Peiting's face gradually appeared in Leng Yu's mind, becoming clearer and clearer, until she wanted to carefully track where she had met this woman, her face instantly became blurred again.

In this way, it became clear and vaguely entangled in Leng Yu's mind, seeming to laugh at the incompetence of the police, and also seem to accuse him of the tragic experience he has encountered over the years.

Just when Leng Yu was upset, the door of the reception room was knocked lightly, bringing her back to reality from the distant thoughts. When she looked up at the wall clock, she saw that it was already 10.30 in the evening.

She sat up straight, and when she saw Police Officer Chen, Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin walking into the reception room, she stood up and walked to the drinking fountain beside her. After receiving a glass of water, she asked, "How's it going?"

Officer Chen pulled a chair casually and sat down, sighed, and said, "I can't get any useful information at all. This woman is just thinking about how to get drugs in the future. We can't get anything out of her mouth." There was a deep frustration in his tone.

Leng Yu knew what Police Officer Chen was thinking at the moment. They all want to solve the case as soon as possible, but the murderer is really cunning, so they can't have more useful information to track down the murderer's whereabouts, making everyone feel discouraged and ashamed.

This undoubtedly rewarded the Public Security Bureau with a resounding slap, and at the same time made the Federal Bureau feel dull.

Officer Chen said again: "The murderer is too cunning. Even a forensic doctor can't find useful information from the corpse to help us solve the case. Apart from leaving a wheel mark at the scene, nothing was found. Moreover, the murderer also Deliberately chose the unmonitored section of the road to abandon the corpse, so we couldn't find out what style of car she was driving."

Leng Yu said with an "um" and said, "Everyone will take a break tonight. Let me tell you about what I found in the red light district."

She glanced at everyone's faces and said, "I found some news. Xu Zhenshui is a pimp in that area. He usually does some pimping business. However, in addition to pimping, he also does it. Many abducted and trafficked women from good families have acted in prostitution."

When Leng Yu said this, he glanced in the direction of Officer Chen and said: "You can pass this matter down to your colleagues, and tell them to do the anti-pornography action more seriously."

After listening, Officer Chen nodded, and said: "This matter really needs to be reacted to Officer Wu."

Leng Yu gave an "um" again and continued: "In the red light district, everyone praised Zhenshui as'A Shui'. He was really beaten by the gangsters there a few days ago, but according to what they said. Said that they did not attack the vital parts of his body, so this also verified the forensic's statement that those scars were not enough to make Ah Shui be beaten to death. Therefore, according to our previous inference, it was another person who killed Ah Shui. There is a person, and the way she kills is more like the same person."

She paused and said, "Then, I asked the head of the site over there. They had never heard of Hou Peiting's name, so I inferred that Hou Peiting might have never been in that area. Even if he did. , That was just a short time there."

Upon hearing this, Officer Chen said, "Officer Leng, that is the most famous red light district in Yang City. If Hou Peiting really hasn’t been there, then she must not be an ordinary prostitution. Female, otherwise it’s her. Her official position has nothing to do with prostitution. Maybe she has another official position?"

Leng Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is also a question I thought about before. If she has another legitimate career, what kind of career is she in? Since Hou Peiting hasn't even graduated from middle school, then I think she probably She has never been admitted to a university, so I think all she can do is to learn a craft, and she depends on the craft she has learned to support herself."

So, what does she do?

After listening to Leng Yu's analysis, the three people were immersed in thinking. After a few minutes, they still couldn't guess what industry Hou Peiting was in.

A smile appeared on Leng Yu’s cold face, and she said, “Do you remember the hole in the shirt of the deceased? When the murderer cut off a certain part of the shirt, the cut was very neat, and I think she The scissors used are not ordinary scissors!"

At this time, Huang Lin shouted: "Not ordinary scissors? Then they are the scissors used by tailors!"

Leng Yu nodded again, and she said, "Yes, these are the scissors used by tailors." She clapped her hands later and said, "Well, that's it for today. Let's go back and rest first. We will do it tomorrow. There is so much work."

Leng Yu walked out of the Public Security Bureau. After driving Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin, she drove towards her home.

Leng Yu took out the house key. After she opened the door, she saw that the light was on in the living room, but Lin Xin was no longer in the living room. She smiled slightly, knowing that this was the lamp Lin Xin left when she returned home in the middle of the night.

She took a quick shower, and when she came to the bed, she saw the sheet swelled up, and her tight face was finally removed. She climbed onto the bed and took Lin Xin, who was already asleep, in her arms. When the tip of her nose smelled the unique fragrance from her, she couldn't help but dropped a kiss on her cheek.

Lin Xin turned over, and when she saw Leng Yu in a daze, she smiled slightly: "Are you back?" There was laziness in her voice.

Leng Yu felt so soft that she kissed the other's forehead and whispered to her, "Yes, I'm back."

Lin Xin stretched out her hand and hugged Leng Yu's waist, then got into her arms and asked, "You went to the red light district. Have you found anything new?"

Seeing that she was still thinking about her case, Leng Yu lifted her chin, dropped a kiss, and said, "It's late, you can sleep well. When the matter is over, I will tell you slowly." There is tenderness in it.

Lin Xin nodded slightly, closed her eyes again, and said in a daze, "Well, I believe you will be able to solve the case, I believe you... I believe you..."

After listening to her affirmation of her ability, Leng Yu lay down with her hands tightly around her waist, and fell asleep.

***

The next day, Leng Yu came to the Federal Bureau early in the morning, saw Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin at a glance, and said to Xiao Cheng: "Xiao Cheng, as we inferred yesterday, the murderer is likely to be a tailor, so You and Police Officer Chen must cooperate. You must find the tailors in Yang City and investigate them one by one. Huang Lin, you will come with me, and we will go to Hou Zhongyang's hometown again!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, immediately packed his things and rushed to the Public Security Bureau.

Huang Lin followed to tidy up, and she asked, "What's the matter?"

Leng Yu said: "If the principal of the school told the truth that day, saying that she was the girl who was raped by He Risheng, then I guess Hou Peiting should return to her hometown."

Huang Lin asked curiously: "Why?"

Leng Yu replied, "That's where she grew up. She may have something unresolved there, so she will go back."

Huang Lin became more and more weird, and asked: "Is there anything she hasn't solved yet?"

Leng Yu frowned and said, "If she is vindictive to the dead, then I think she will go back to her hometown and do certain things there."

"You mean she wants to retaliate and vent her anger? Does she even want to set Hou Zhongyang's house on fire?" Huang Lin asked.

Leng Yu said lightly: "Well, it's possible. Even if the house is not burned, he will do something more radical."

When the two arrived at Hou Zhongyang's fellow villager again, they smelled a burst of burnt on the tips of their noses. They immediately raised their heads and looked forward to see the black smoke rising from Hou Zhongyang's house.

Leng Yu said: "She really burned something. Let's see what she burned."

The two immediately got out of the car and rushed to the backyard of Hou Zhongyang's house. When I came close, I realized that it was a pile of shirts that had been burnt down.

When the two looked closely at the edges of the shirts that hadn't been burnt, they all saw the gorgeous shirts in his closet.

Leng Yu pointed to Hou Zhongyang's room and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

When they stepped into Hou Zhongyang's home, they saw that everything was still in order, and they hadn't been disturbed.

Leng Yu looked up at the bedroom and said, "Let's go into the bedroom and have a look."

So they stepped into Hou Zhongyang's bedroom again.

When Leng Yu walked into the bedroom, she saw some shirts piled on the double bed. She walked forward and picked up the shirts that were thrown on the bed. They were all cut into pieces, and the closet on the side opened wide. .

She put down the shirt in her hand, and when she looked into the closet, she found that the shirt in the closet had also been cut into pieces.

Huang Lin opened her eyes wide and looked at these shirts that had long been cut to pieces, and muttered: "She has a great hatred in her heart. Not only did she cut her clothes, but also burned most of her clothes."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, she does have a deep hatred. However, the matter has to be investigated more than ten years ago. You think, she left home when she was a minor, and then she wanted to pin her hopes on When she was given to school, she met the beast He Risheng, which caused her to be helpless and chose to drop out. She broke into society by herself, and then encountered many difficulties in the future. So, if you take things back to many years ago, you I think Hou Peiting left the house back then. Is it because Hou Zhongyang disciplined her severely, or did Hou Zhongyang not let her fall in love early?"

After listening to Leng Yu's analysis, Huang Lin came up with a terrible thought in her mind. Her voice was trembling, and she asked, "Boss, what are you trying to say?"

Leng Yu sneered and said, "Hou Zhongyang has raped his own daughter!"

A short sentence caused Huang Lin to fall into extreme anger.

"This beast!" She couldn't restrain herself anymore, gritted her teeth.

Leng Yu glanced at her and said again: "Hou Zhongyang is the origin of all disasters. If she hadn't raped Hou Peiting, would she have left the house? Hou Peiting felt very desperate, even resentful, after Hou Zhongyang raped her. So, for so many years, she will never forget this, and it is even more impossible to erase the shadow in her heart, so killing Hou Zhongyang is not enough, so she chose to return to her hometown and destroy Hou Zhongyang’s clothes to vent her anger. ."

"Then why did she cut off the red part of the shirts of the other deceased?" Huang Lin asked again the focus of the murder.

"I still don't understand this." Leng Yu frowned and sat on the double bed, lost in thought.

Isn't it so simple as you think? Is there a deeper secret that I can't guess?
