The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng searched Hou Zhongyang's home inside and out, and found no suspicious clues, not even traces of outsiders invading the home.

What they can think of at the moment is: After Hou Zhongyang's death, no one has been to his home.

"Boss, we checked inside and out and found nothing." Huang Lin walked from the kitchen to the master bedroom, stood beside Leng Yu, and said to her.

Leng Yu looked straight at the wardrobe in front of him, and pointed to the hanging shirts inside: "I don't think so."

Huang Lin followed her fingers and looked over. After seeing the gorgeous shirts hanging in the closet, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"Is Hou Zhongyang the legendary myth of immortality?"

At this time, Xiao Cheng also walked into the bedroom. After hearing what Huang Lin said, he couldn't help but smile: "Judging from the photo on his ID card, he is already wrinkled. How could it be an ageless myth? He wants to be a young man again. I think he probably didn't play enough when he was young, so when he is old, he will become more interested."

Leng Yu closed the closet door, turned his head and asked them: "Have you ever thought about the color of the fabric with the holes in the clothes?"

colour?

Yes, why have they never thought about this?

Leng Yu pointed to the gray shirt Xiao Cheng was wearing, and said, "Apart from black, blue, and gray clothes in your closet, there can be no other colors of clothes."

Then, she turned her head to Huang Lin, glanced up and down at what she was wearing, and said coldly: "And you, never wear any good-looking clothes, so you will definitely not use your mind about color."

Huang Liner heard that the boss was hurting herself so shamelessly, she couldn't help but retort: ​​"Aren't you the same? You don't have to wear black or white clothes when you come and go!"

"I'm different." Leng Yu left these four words and walked out of the bedroom.

Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin also followed her out of the house.

"Hou Zhongyang disappeared for 5 days, but no one came to check where he went. I think he doesn't interact with anyone, or he is particularly annoying." Leng Yu said, looking up. The sky has long been overcast with clouds.

Thunder and lightning flashed in front of her, and Leng Yu's head slammed. She shouted: "We have to go back to Hou Zhongyang's master bedroom again!" After finishing speaking, she pulled her leg and ran in.

Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng glanced at each other, a little puzzled why Leng Yu suddenly ran in and turned around and returned to the house.

Not long after they returned to the house, the heavy rain poured down, and Xiao Cheng gave a "hush" and said, "Fortunately, the boss is clever. He ran back into the house when he knew it was going to rain outside."

"Yes, yes!" Huang Lin passed Xiao Cheng and walked to the window, looking at the puffy rain outside the window.

"Huh? Where's the boss?" Xiao Cheng turned his head and looked around, but didn't find Leng Yu.

After hearing this, Huang Lin said quickly: "The boss said just now that we go back to the master bedroom. Let's go to the master bedroom to take a look."

The two came back to the master bedroom later, and were a little dumbfounded when they saw Leng Yu's behavior.

Leng Yu took out the shirts from the closet one by one and stacked them on the big bed in Hou Zhongyang's bedroom. After taking out the clothes from the closet several times, she turned around.

When she saw Huang and Xiao Shuangshuang standing at the door, she beckoned to them and shouted, "Come here and see if you can find out from the pile of clothes the exact same clothes that Hou Zhongyang wore after his death."

Leng Yu's words made the two of them understand instantly.

She ran into the house not to hide from the rain, but to think of a key point in the case.

Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin nodded, and they came to the big bed.

Leng Yu turned on his mobile phone, and after calling up a photo, he put the photo of the shirt he was wearing on Hou Zhongyang's body earlier and placed in front of him.

The three of them were looking for them, comparing them with the clothes on the photo one by one. However, the gorgeous shirts only made them feel dizzy for a while, but they couldn't find the same shirt as Hou Zhongyang was wearing.

"No." Huang Lin threw the shirt on her hand to the bed and sighed.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the trademark on the clothes." Leng Yu took out the small notebook he carried with him, turned the collar of the clothes, and noted the name of the manufacturer.

Huang Lin and Xiao Cheng helped turn over the collar of the clothes so that Leng Yu could write down the name of the manufacturer on the clothes.

It was not until they turned up the collar of the last shirt that Leng Yu spread the little book on the bed, and then crossed out the repeated manufacturer names one by one with the pen in his hand.

Until she crossed out the last one, there were only four manufacturers left with no duplicates.

"Is this easier?" Leng Yu pushed Xiaobenben in front of them.

Xiao Cheng nodded: "Let's check it now and see if we can find out some clues."

***

In a remote village in Yang City, a group of young men and women took advantage of the heavy rain and splashed in the water by the waterfall. The young men and women who have been in adolescence know that waterfalls in rain are obviously dangerous, but they hold themselves young, so they are more courageous than ordinary people, so they went to the waterfall to play without their parents.

Just as everyone was having fun, one of the young girls suddenly saw something floating on the water. She swam towards the thing quietly, and when she looked at the thing in front of her, her whole person Frightened his face and lips pale.

"Ah!!!" The shout of the young girl cut through the sky immediately.

"Xiaolian, what's the matter with you?" I saw a young boy wearing shorts and naked to the top. After hearing the young girl's yelling, he quickly swam to her side and hugged her in his arms.

I saw Xiao Lian buried her head in the arms of the young boy, and then she pointed her finger at something that was floating not far away, cried out in her mouth, she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, other young men and women swam over quickly, and everyone surrounded them.

"Yes... There are dead people..." When Xiao Lian said this, her voice was intermittent.

After listening, everyone's face changed.

A few bolder young boys hurriedly swam towards the thing, and when they got closer, they immediately smelled a burst of unpleasant odors in their noses, and all of them felt tight.

At this time, a young boy named Dayong wanted to swim forward again, but another boy behind him grabbed his wrist and shouted, "Dayong, don't go there!"

Dayong shook his hand quickly and shouted, "If this person is still alive, we can't help but save it!" After finishing speaking, he swam forward again, trying to find out if this person is dead or not. .

Everyone looked at the back of Dayong swimming towards the thing, everyone held their breath, and their hearts went up and down. Da Yong, who was larger in size and strength than others, swam to the side of the object, and with the help of the buoyancy on the water, he used his hands to vigorously overturned the floating object.

When he turned the object over, he suddenly threw the object into the water quickly, only to hear him yell: "Call 999! This person is dead!"

After listening, everyone hurriedly climbed to a flat ground next to the waterfall. They each took out their mobile phones and dialed numbers indiscriminately. All of them were shaking hands, and none of them could press the 999 button smoothly. Only a calmer boy successfully dialed the phone. He said, "Hey, is this the Public Security Bureau? We are in Yang City. A corpse was found in XX waterfall!"

***

After Leng Yu and others packed up the shirts left by Hou Zhongyang, they walked out of the bedroom.

It was still raining heavily outside, and regardless of whether they would get wet, they quickly ran to the car parked outside the house. After the three people got into the car quickly, Leng Yu took out his mobile phone in a hurry and quickly sent a message to Lin Xin: Yudashan road is slippery, you must pay attention to your safety.

Then, after turning on the navigation of the mobile phone, she threw it to Huang Lin and said, "Help us see the navigation guide."

Huang Lin caught the mobile phone that Leng Yu threw to herself, looked down at the navigation, and responded, "Yes."

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang an emergency ringtone, and Huang Lin immediately connected after reading the caller's name. She alertly turned on the speaker in the phone, and Boss Wang's low voice was heard immediately.

"Officer Leng, another corpse was found in the XX waterfall in Yangshi. According to the dictation of the Public Security Bureau, the condition of the deceased has something in common with the first corpse you found. You hurry up!"

Leng Yu frowned deeply.

She thought that she had just found a little clue from Hou Zhongyang's home. Just after she had a clue, the boss here said that another corpse had been found.

Moreover, the condition of the second deceased has one thing in common with the first deceased.

Could it be that there were holes in the clothes of the second deceased again?

"Our current location is not too far from the Federal Bureau, so we have to work separately. Xiao Cheng, you immediately go back to the Federal Bureau and take people to investigate the 4 clothing manufacturers to see if you can find some clues. You must find out the color on the fabric of the holes in Hou Zhongyang's clothes, whether it is a single color or a combination of multiple different colors."

After hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded quickly and agreed.

Leng Yu parked the car at the entrance of the Federal Bureau, Xiao Cheng quickly opened the door and ran towards the Federal Bureau in the rain.

Huang Lin looked at his running back and couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it's really a wave of unrest."

Leng Yu turned the front of the car and drove the car on the road again. She pressed her lips tightly, frowned, and said nothing. She was thinking about why the murderer wanted to kill people continuously, and what kind of deep hatred he had with these victims.

And what kind of person will the victim be this time?

When the car drove to a flat ground next to the waterfall, Leng Yu and Huang Lin ignored the heavy rain that was still falling, jumped out of the car, and saw from a distance the police officers who were carrying out reconnaissance operations under the rain.

In the middle of the waterfall, several police officers and a forensic doctor were salvaging the bodies.

In such a rainy day, salvaging the corpse without destroying the scene or the existing physical evidence, invisibly caused the work of salvaging the corpse to become extremely difficult.

Leng Yu walked to the scene and found Officer Chen, Officer Wu's deputy, but saw that he was questioning a group of young men and women who found the bodies.

So she stepped forward and walked towards them, standing aside listening carefully.

Since Xiaolian, who was the first to find the body, still had lingering fears, her voice was still trembling when she spoke, and she couldn't even speak clearly. When the other young men and women saw this, they all talked to Police Officer Chen about the discovery of the body.

After listening to the general idea, Leng Yu whispered to Officer Chen: "You immediately send someone to see if there are other things, such as buildings, such as huts, upstream of the waterfall. They also found it while playing in the water. The corpse coincides with the rainy season. I think the corpse was washed from the upstream to the downstream because of the rain."

The few words Leng Yu said are not unreasonable. After listening, Officer Chen nodded and said yes, and then sent someone to go upstream to check.

After 30 minutes, the corpse was finally salvaged by a few people, and it was laid down in an open area next to the waterfall wet and wet. The forensic doctor squatted down in a hurry and began a preliminary round of examination of the corpse. Following the forensic examination, he said: "The deceased was a male, aged between 50-60, and the time of death was about 3 days."

Since the degree of corruption of the corpse was not particularly serious, Leng Yu could still vaguely distinguish from the face of the deceased that he was a middle-aged man.

However, what attracted Leng Yu most was not the appearance of the corpse, but the shirt worn by the deceased.

I saw that the deceased was wearing a gray-black shirt, and there was a huge hole near his left chest, about the size of a fist.

When the forensic doctor carefully turned the body over, Leng Yu saw that the clothes behind the deceased were still intact, and there were no holes.

Leng Yu carefully observed the edge of the hole on the deceased's shirt, and saw that it was exactly the same as the previous corpse. The hole was very neat, as if it had been deliberately cut.

"There are holes in the deceased's clothes again." Huang Lin said while standing aside.

"Well, we can put the case together. But... he is not the last one." Leng Yu pointed to the deceased in a harsh tone.

"Officer Leng, do you mean that there will be another victim?" Officer Chen's voice came from behind them, and he had already come to them at some point.

"One of the murderers' purpose in killing the deceased was for something on the clothes, otherwise he would not deliberately cut some cloth into the clothes of the deceased, forming holes. As long as the murderer did not get what he wanted, He will definitely not give up. It's just that... what does he use to cut the fabric on his clothes?" After Leng Yu said this, he paused and then continued: "There is another question: why? There were many small holes in the clothes worn by the last deceased, but only one big hole appeared in the clothes of the second deceased?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at everyone's faces one by one.

Huang Lin said at this time: "I have a question. I'm thinking, if the murderer only wants something on the clothes of the deceased, why doesn't he just go and buy these clothes? If he buys all the clothes At that time, you can do whatever you want with the clothes, and you can even cut off the clothes one by one and turn them into rags, so why bother to kill."

After hearing Huang Lin’s question, Leng Yu rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, the murderer can buy his favorite clothes at a clothing store, and then he can do whatever he wants with the clothes. But, things Back to the original point, why did he commit murder? Moreover, after he murdered, he deliberately cut some parts of the deceased's clothes. Did he want to cut the cloth and make it into something else?"

"Boss, are you saying that the murderer is a pervert?" Huang Lin frowned and asked.

Leng Yu stood up and said to everyone: "He may be a pervert, or he may have deep hatred with the deceased, or both. In addition, I have discovered a little bit. The first deceased and The time of death of the second deceased was actually not too far apart, it was only two days later, so I believe the murderer should have already started looking for his third target."

When Leng Yu said it to the end, everyone felt a panic of fear in their hearts, and the hairs on their bodies immediately stood up.

The ruthlessness and coldness that the murderer showed on his face when he killed someone could not help but appear in everyone's mind.
