After seeing off Mrs. Slyntel, Dino put his arm on Casey's shoulder: "What's the matter? I think you have some thoughts?"

Casey shrugged: "I don't know, I just have an indescribable feeling," he said, "Don't you think that as a stepfather, Andrew is a little too kind to Sean?"

Dino was taken aback.

"It's not that Andrew doesn't have a biological child, why does he treat Sean so well?" Casey frowned, "It always makes me feel something is wrong."

When Kathy said this, Dino also noticed something strange: "It would be reasonable if the relationship between Sean and Andrew was harmonious, but judging from this, Sean is completely opposed to the marriage of Andrew and Abby. Yes, it can even be said that Andrew is the main reason why Sean ran away from home—let’s say he ran away voluntarily.”

"Who knows," Casey spread his hands, "maybe he is the reincarnation of Jesus."

At this time, the landline on the desk rang, and Casey picked it up. It was James.

James said: "Come to the autopsy office, the inspection report is out."

When Casey and Dino arrived at the autopsy, Shen Lie had already arrived.

Shen Lie was still wearing a slim black suit, with a straight and slender figure, and he didn't even frown when he looked at the bloody corpse on the autopsy table.

Seeing them coming, James pulled off the medical mask on his face: "Just now when the Slyntels came, I didn't say the test results, so I can only let you go again."

All three expressed their understanding. After all, it would be too harsh to study the cause of death and autopsy results in front of the family members of the deceased.

James lifted the white cloth covering the corpse from the neck, revealing a body covered in bruises and various scars: "As you can see, this young and immature body is already covered in cuts and bruises." He sighed, "There are countless skin injuries, and I will write the details in the report, which is shocking."

"There are no fatal injuries, and it can be said that there are fatal injuries everywhere." As soon as the words fell, Shen Lie frowned slightly, very puzzled.

"Every wound was not caused by venting anger randomly," James said. "The technique confuses me. The murderer is said to be an amateur, but the force and angle of his knife will make Sean feel the maximum pain. Bleeding but not fatal; he is said to be professional, but he doesn’t seem to have a medical background at all, at least I can’t tell from the knife technique.” He walked up to Xiao En’s head, “Did you notice that his face is abnormally white? "

All three nodded.

It was white indeed, bloodless.

"At the scene of the crime, it was raining and the temperature was still low. I thought it was because of the sudden drop in temperature and the body turned pale due to excessive cooling. In addition, I didn't have time to do a careful inspection. I came back for a careful autopsy. It was found that there was very little blood in the deceased's body." James shook his head, "The cause of death was excessive blood loss."

Shen Lie was silent for a while, before he opened his mouth and said, "You mean he was thrown in the cold rainy night, and bled to death?"

James nodded: "In addition, there are obvious traces of sexual behavior on his body, and there are lacerations in the anus, but there is no semen residue, and I have not found traces of other people's DNA on him."

Shen Lie frowned even tighter.

"But one thing is very strange. I remember Casey telling me that this dead Sean disappeared more than two years ago?"

Casey nodded.

James covered Sean's body with a white cloth, turned around and walked to the computer in the outside room, and typed a few times on the keyboard: "After I knew Sean's identity, I asked a friend in the New Jersey hospital. Inquired and found Sean's medical records for me——Three years ago, Sean suffered from gonorrhea【Note 1】."

"Three years ago?" Dino frowned. "Three years ago, he was only 15 years old. It's embarrassing, but it shouldn't be so strange to you, right?"

James shrugged: "It wouldn't be surprising if it was just like this, but during my autopsy, I found that he no longer had gonorrhea."

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Lie was the first to ask: "What do you mean no more?"

"It means that during the two and a half years since he disappeared, his gonorrhea was cured." James touched his chin, "Are you sure he disappeared and didn't leave voluntarily? Now, those who trafficked children would be obliged to treat them." sick?"

Casey pointed out another question: "Then, can you tell if the scars on Sean's body are short-term formation or old injuries that have accumulated over the years?"

James said: "Most of them were formed recently, but there are also injuries over the years. As for whether it was formed before or after the disappearance, it is too close to be able to tell."

Everyone frowned, this case is very difficult.

After coming out of James' office, Shen Lie asked, "Do you have any clues now?"

Casey and Dino shook their heads, and Casey said: "I plan to start with Sean's disappearance, investigate the people around him, and see if anyone knows the secret of his sudden disappearance, and whether he left voluntarily or was caught People took it away."

Shen Lie nodded: "If you need anything, just come to me."

After speaking, he left, leaving Casey and Dino looking at each other, Casey shrugged: "It seems that we have to go to New Jersey again."

Dino patted his head: "It's not the first time to go on a business trip at public expense, but you didn't have a good rest when you came back from the field last time, why don't you let Jerry and Gloria go this time, you have a good rest .”

Casey shook his head: "No need, the last case they have recently has not been closed, I have nothing serious, this job is like this, I'm used to it."

Dino didn't say anything else, he knew Casey, he was stubborn and aggressive, and he had a strong sense of responsibility, and there would be no result if he tried to persuade him, so he kept his heartache and love in his eyes, and just said: "I'm going to drive, you must be hungry, pass by that burger shop to buy lunch, I remember you like that sandwich very much."

Casey blinked: "Great!" Then he narrowed his eyes again: "Stop driving your car, the police car is really good, if this continues, I will be asked to talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again."

Dino laughed.

It seems that every man is born with a yearning for luxury cars. The status and price of a car reveals a person's social status and economic strength, so few people are not interested in top sports cars like Dino, even Shen Lie I was very interested to borrow it to experience it.

But Casey was not interested for some reason.

He is actually a difficult person to understand.

Dino defined it like this, but there was a smile on his lips.

After get off work, Shen Lie came to the gate of the police station to pick up Ning Yuan as usual, and after a few minutes of parking, Ning Yuan came out, trotted into the car and put on his seat belt, smiling: "Good evening, what do you want to eat later?"

Shen Lie pinched his cheek: "How do you know how to eat in a day? It weighs a lot."

Ning Yuan glared.

Shen Lie stopped teasing him: "I reserved a table at a Thai restaurant."

Ning Yuan pursed his lips: "Thai food is very spicy at night."

Shen Lie: "..."

Ning Yuan blinked slyly: "But I think it would be much better if it is paired with the snow-capped mountains from Uncle Doro's dessert shop."

Shen Lie laughed.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Thai restaurant, Shen Lie got out of the car first, gave the car key to the person in charge of parking, and sat with Ning Yuan in the reserved seat by the window. There was a floor-to-ceiling window on the right of that seat, and there was a lot of traffic outside the window, and the neon lights reflected on the glass. It is refracted into a small lamp on the table, and I have to say that it has a romantic atmosphere.

Needless to say, Shen Lie, Ning Yuan also took the initiative to treat this dinner as a date. After he was seated, a waiter came to ask if the food was served. After Shen Lie nodded, the dishes he had ordered before were served one after another .

One thing Shen Lie likes about Ning Yuan is that watching him eat will really improve his mood. He enjoys food very much, not only likes to eat, but also likes to cook.Unless he was too tired during the day or had other arrangements, he would choose to cook for Shen Lie at home.It is true that they are more accustomed to the food of the motherland than the single food of the United States-it is really more than a few streets.

However, Shen Lie pulled Ningyuan out for dinner from time to time. The reason was simple. Prosecutor Shen was worried that Ningyuan would be tired from cooking after get off work at night while working as a consultant for the homicide team while running a clinic.

So once he hears that there is a delicious restaurant, he will definitely bring Ning Yuan to eat, right as a date. Lie is so cute.

Ning Yuan picked up a chopstick of curry rice and put it into his mouth happily. He chewed and swallowed it, and Shen Lie's eyes lit up when he saw him.

Just as Ning Yuan was about to praise the chef's skills, he caught a glimpse of a person sitting at the table behind Shen Lie from the corner of his eyes.

He put down his chopsticks.

[Note 1] Gonorrhea: Baidu Encyclopedia is too academic, in fact, it is a disease that is transmitted through sexual behavior, but it can be cured.
