The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Because Yan Shikai's bedroom was not cleaned up, the clothes he wore were randomly thrown on the bed, which made the work of Leng Yu and others smoother.

"Fortunately, the clothes and pants that have been worn have not been cleaned. The remaining hair on the clothes can make it easier for us to confirm whether the blood stains belong to Xiaokai." Lin Xin checked carefully and said.

"Well, and he also left these underwear." Leng Yu lifted up the underwear that was left in the corner of the bed. Immediately, she immediately smelled a stench on the tip of her nose.

She frowned and said, "Lin Xin, we only need to have his underwear, with his body fluid and hair on it."

"What?" Lin Xin asked, leaning over.

Then, she also instantly smelled a fishy smell.

So, she handed a material evidence bag to Leng Yu, and said with a frown, "Hurry up and throw it into the material evidence bag, it smells really strong."

Leng Yu took the evidence bag in Lin Xin's hand and threw the underwear into it. Then the two searched carefully in his bedroom, and saw that there was nothing special except the messy sheets on the bed.

Later, Lin Xin walked to Xiaokai's closet, reached out and opened the closet, and saw that Xiaokai's clean clothes and trousers were hanging inside. She flipped through it and saw that there was nothing particularly suspicious.

It was not until she bent down and looked down at the depths of the closet that a small cyan iron box was placed inside.

"Leng Yu, come here for a while." Lin Xin called.

"What's the matter?" Leng Yu walked to her side, bent down in the same way, and asked.

"Look." Lin Xin pointed to the iron box and said.

Leng Yu looked in the direction of Lin Xin's fingers and saw a rusty iron box hidden inside. She frowned and said, "Let's open it and take a look."

"Uh... Wouldn't it be bad if you opened it at will?" Lin Xin hesitated, turning her head to look at her and asked.

"No. Since the iron box is hidden deep in the closet, it is even more proof that Xiao Kai did not run away from home, nor did he leave Longshi by himself, and his disappearance is not accidental. Otherwise, he should put this iron box away. They also took them together." Leng Yu analyzed.

"Well, it makes sense. Moreover, if the iron box is not important, he will not hide it in it." Lin Xin said. Then, she reached out and took the iron box out of it, but unexpectedly found that the box was not heavy.

Lin Xin shook lightly, and did not hear any noise inside, so she gently placed the iron box on the floor.

"The iron box is not locked," she said.

"Let's open it and take a look." Leng Yu said in a deep voice.

Lin Xin nodded and opened the old iron box, and then unexpectedly discovered that the iron box lid had been opened so easily. If in normal times, a rusty iron box is extremely difficult to open, but now she just picks it lightly and opens the lid.

She raised her head and glanced at Leng Yu, and saw that the other's eyebrows were the same as her own, showing a trace of surprise.

They guessed that Yan Shikai must have moved this iron box recently.

Then, when Lin Xin lowered her head and looked into the iron box, she saw that the box was covered with a layer of old newspaper. Leng Yu also squatted down at this time, reaching out and taking out the old newspaper.

They didn't see the contents of the old newspaper until they were taken out.

"Money?!" Lin Xin said in surprise.

"Yes, money." Leng Yu nodded.

She reached out and took out a stack of banknotes, and saw 100 yuan in red. When she looked inside, she saw that the box was empty and there was nothing else.

"Leng Yu, this is the salary that the magic troupe gave Xiaokai." Lin Xin pointed to the big red banknote in Leng Yu's hand and said.

"Yes, otherwise he would not hide these money gods secretly here. Obviously, he didn't want his parents to know that he was working in the magic group." Leng Yu said.

She immediately put the banknotes in her hand back into the box, then stretched out her hand to lift the box and observed it carefully, but she didn't see anything special.

"I think, let's first hand over the clothes, underwear, etc., to the laboratory. It doesn't look weird here." Leng Yu stood up and said.

"Well, I don't know if Meihua and the others have found anything else." Lin Xin said, and then walked out of Xiao Kai's bedroom behind Leng Yu.

As they walked out of the bedroom, they saw Mei Hua and Huang Lin already standing in the living room. Since Xiaokai's home is not particularly large, the place to look for should have been searched.

Seeing that Mei Hua and Huang Lin didn't show any unnatural look on their faces, they knew that since Xiao Kai's home, they probably hadn't been able to find more useful information.

Lin Xin walked up to Mrs. Yan later and said, "Mrs. Yan, we took away all the clothes Xiaokai wore, so that we can do DNA identification."

At this time, Mrs. Yan said with tears and snot again: "If you think these clothes are helpful to find Xiaokai, then take them, I... I am no longer able to... Where did Xiaokai go? … Woo woo woo..."

When she said this, she sat down on the sofa again, crying intermittently.

Mei Hua couldn't help it anymore, walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Yan, why don't you let your husband go to work for the time being. You should stay at home and spend time with each other. It's better. Staying at home alone like you are now, it is easy to think about it. Then, we will find your son for you as soon as possible. If we have news, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

Mrs. Yan cried and nodded in agreement. She didn't know if she really listened to what Mei Hua said.

After the crowd comforted Mrs. Yan again, they left her home, got in the car and drove in the direction of the Public Security Bureau.

Along the way, everyone remained silent, imagining that if something happened to them, then they would be like the former Mrs. Yan, not eating or drinking all day, just thinking about the child and crying.

"Boss, it's still early. After handing over the things to the laboratory for a while, what should we do?" Huang Lin asked after breaking the silence.

Leng Yu glanced at Huang Lin from the rearview mirror, and said calmly: "Let's go to the Municipal Council. We have to ask them about the magic group and see if we can find out anything."

"Boss, are you so sure that Xiao Kai's disappearance must be related to the Magic Group?" Huang Lin asked again. To be honest, apart from the blood on the park, she really couldn't imagine that a magic show could just wipe out a person like this.

"Well, Lin Xin and I found a sum of money in Xiao Kai’s bedroom. Moreover, the money was hidden in an iron box. I think since he is only a junior high school student, so I don't think he should have collected so much money. In addition, the family of three is not particularly rich, so where did the money come from?" Leng Yu asked, raising the corners of his mouth.

"Huang Lin, we guess that the money is the salary that the magic troupe gave Xiao Kai." Lin Xin turned and said to Huang Lin who was sitting in the back seat.

"Sister Lin, so you mean Xiao Kai disappeared before he could take the money?" Mei Hua sat up straight and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I also think that Yan Shikai was taken away before finishing his work. Therefore, his bedroom was the same as before. It was not cleaned up, and even the money was not taken away. We even found him. A lot of clothes were still neatly hung in the closet, and there was no trace of him wanting to leave at all. Therefore, Yan Shikai's disappearance was definitely man-made, not because he wanted to leave." Lin Xin said.

Then, she turned around and looked out the car window again, with anxiety in her eyes.

She felt that Yan Shikai was really bad this time.

For a long time, Leng Yu drove the car to the door of the Public Security Bureau smoothly. She said to them: "You can stay in the car. I'll be back as soon as I go."

The other three people agreed, and looked at her back gradually away.

"I have a bad feeling." At this moment, Mei Hua said suddenly.

Huang Lin reached out and hugged her shoulders, and said, "Whether Yan Shikai is dead or alive, we must find him. If he is still alive, then it is best. If he does not live, he must be found and killed. His murderer."

"Huang Lin is right, no matter what we do, as long as we take over this job, we must follow up." Lin Xin said.

Even so, she still felt faintly inappropriate. After police officer Tang received the report last night, he sent his deputy to look for and ask questions, but there is still no result.

Xiao Kai won't just evaporate in this world, right?

When the three of them were lowering their heads to meditate on the case, Leng Yu came back. She opened the car door, then started the car and headed towards the city council.

"The magic troupe came to the Dragon City in a hurry. It was definitely not accidental. Everything was planned." At this moment, Leng Yu said suddenly.

"Boss, what do you mean by that?" Huang Lin asked curiously.

"What I mean is that even if we go to the Municipal Council, we should not be able to find out anything." Leng Yu said lightly.

"Why?" Huang Lin and Mei Hua asked in unison.

Leng Yu smiled coldly, and said, "Come and go in a hurry. In such a hurry, apart from passing the money to the municipal council, they can't get the permit so quickly and then hold a magic show. If you really want to make a small magic show, you will definitely make some marketing strategies. However, during the time when Lin Xin and I stayed in Longshi, we didn’t even hear them coming. When they handed out flyers to recruit for temporary work, they knew that there would be a performance here. Moreover, they did some publicity only two days before the magic show started, and did not intend to spread the publicity widely. If they were true If you want to be famous, the audience who come to watch the show may include people from other cities."

"Leng Yu, how do you know that there are only people from Longshi in the audience?" Lin Xin turned her head and asked, somewhat curious.

"Because I met Officer Tang's deputy just now, they even searched the city next door and said that few people there had heard of magic performances here, so I guessed that the magic group's propaganda didn't reach the next city town at all. The citizens know it only because they heard it, and have not been truly confirmed." Leng Yu said.

"Then why do we still have to go to the Municipal Council?" Huang Lin asked interjectively.

"Because, I want to try my luck." Leng Yu hooked the corner of his mouth again and said.

Lin Xin looked at her and instantly understood what she meant.

Leng Yu wanted to find out the workers who worked in the park that day, and wanted to ask if he could find out everything about the magic group, even a little clue.

It's better than doing it now, not even knowing the name of the Magic team.
