Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

When Shao Lin heard the word "corpse", he felt dizzy and his mind went blank.He opened his mouth slightly, but made no sound.Xia Yi said something loudly, but he didn't listen to a word.Although Shao Lin looked calm, he held on to the bookshelf and struggled twice to prop himself up.

On the intercom, the sound of "buzzing" from the scene continued——

"Fuck, this is really a hell, I lost a student first, and the student didn't find it, but a corpse was dug up!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how long has this corpse been buried? Is this completely boneless?"

"Damn it, it won't be auspicious if it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and I probably won't be able to go home for dinner again!"

"No, this skeleton is too small, is it still a child?!"

"Don't move! Don't touch the skeleton, don't touch this black bag! Save it for the forensic team to step on here and move there, and they will blame us for destroying the scene again!"

After Shao Lin's brain went down for a while, he slowly came to a conclusion—it wasn't Xiaoyuan.

Not Xiaoyuan!

Shao Lin blinked, this knowledge made his constricted heart relax again, the blood began to flow back slowly, and consciousness returned to him again.

"Let's go?" Shao Lin let out a long breath and looked at Xia Yi wearily.

"Don't worry." Xia Yi stretched out his five fingers, lightly touched Shao Lin's chest, and blocked his way, "We haven't finished talking just now. What did you bury under that tree?"

"A dagger."

Xia Yi was puzzled: "Dagger?"

"My father gave it to me." Shao Lin took a deep look at him and added in a low voice, "My biological father."

Xia Yi was momentarily at a loss for words.

What kind of father would give his son a dagger?

However, Shao Lin does have two skills when playing knives.Xia Yi has seen his fingertips turning knives, dazzled, and never cut himself.Moreover, he had seen Shao Lin cut salmon, it was so thin, it was almost transparent.He also rolls up such thin salmon slices, makes a flower, fixes it on a potato with a toothpick and bakes it, saying that it is a dish that his family would make when he was a child.

Various clips related to knives flashed through Xia Yi's mind, but the case is still important right now.Xia Yi grabbed the school magazine in his hand, and asked, "What happened to the corpse under the tree?"

"I have no idea!"

The lights on the second basement floor were dim, just like the emotion in Xia Yi's eyes.He lowered his voice: "Can I trust you?"

Xia Yi was half a head taller than Shao Lin, so when he got close, he naturally felt a sense of oppression.He took a step forward, and Shao Lin stepped back subconsciously, hitting his back directly on the bookshelf.

The passage between the iron frames was not spacious, Shao Lin only felt that the other party was too close.

"I'm stupid, don't lie to me." Xia Yi stretched out a hand and gently covered his side face, "Because I really will, trust you."

At that moment, Shao Lin only felt countless sweetness and bitterness welling up in his heart at the same time, and his chest was sore and swollen.

He looked at Xia Yi quietly, thinking, how could someone have such a confused and pious gaze?

In the end, Shao Lin covered the back of Xia Yi's hand with his palm, and repeated softly: "I said it. I won't lie to you. I don't know what happened to the corpse under the tree."

Xia Yi hooked the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

The air was silent for two seconds.

Suddenly, Shao Lin spoke, and for the first time took the initiative to talk about his past: "Xia Yi, I never liked that little boy Shao Yuan."

"Shao Haifeng and his wife adopted me back then. I think a large part of the reason was that they were almost 40 years old but had no children. It was probably because they were unable to conceive, so they stopped using protective measures. It is easy to integrate into the new life in China...they have their own children."

Xia Yi keenly noticed that Shao Lin was talking about "Shao Haifeng and his wife", not relatives such as "my uncle and aunt".

"I know—they adopted me, and I should be grateful—but after Shao Yuan was born, some of their behaviors always made me feel that I was an extra burden to the family." Shao Lin shrugged, "So I Study hard just to skip a grade, graduate early, go to college early, and move out early.”

Shao Lin changed the subject: "But it doesn't mean I will hurt Xiao Yuan!"

"I just feel redundant, but I look forward to the happiness of their family of three more than anyone else in the world."

He also once had, and longed for happiness for many years.

"I'm probably just jealous of him. I'm a lemonade, but I'm not a bad guy."

There seemed to be a crack in Shao Lin's usual calm tone, and it was rare for his emotions to leak into it.At that moment, Xia Yi was almost worried that he would cry suddenly.

Of course, Shao Lin didn't.He just blinked and looked away a little embarrassedly.And Xia Yi took advantage of the situation to hug him into his arms, let him rest his chin on his shoulders, and comforted him repeatedly: "I know, I know."

He patted Shao Lin's head, landed on his shoulder, and patted lightly: "Don't worry. We will find him."

……

When Xia Yi and Shao Lin returned to the mountain again, a bright yellow cordon had been pulled up near the twin trees.The front-line search and rescue personnel did a simple excavation and cleaning of the upper soil, and saw a large black travel bag buried in the pit. With a child's skeleton.

"Group leader Xia, what kind of eyes are you opening? How did you get here?!"

"The child has no mother. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later. Who are we lying here?"

The forensic team will be here soon.

Yu Min led a few students and began to carefully collect the remains from the skull to the toes.

Wearing gloves, he compared with his fingers, and quickly concluded: "From the size of the skull, the length of the long bones, and the condition of the teeth, the child should be between 6 and 10 years old. From the perspective of the pelvis, it should be It was a boy. The body was completely boneless, and the time of death was at least five years ago."

"Based on visual inspection alone, the bones on the left side of the corpse are much more broken than the right side. It is not yet clear whether this is caused by fractures during life, or damage caused by heavy pressure after death. The specific cause of death will have to wait until we find out. It will be analyzed after returning to the laboratory."

When the forensic team left, the police took an inventory of what was left at the scene, and there were only a pair of skeletons, a black travel bag, and some scraps of clothing.

Xia Yi asked: "That's all? Nothing else?"

Yu Min was puzzled: "Should there be something else?"

Xia Yi and Shao Lin glanced at each other and shook their heads.

—The dagger is gone!

At the same time, the trace inspection team found two kinds of footprints on the ground: a pair of size 40 sports shoes with unique patterns, and a pair of size 36 shoes with ordinary corrugated ground.

Shao Yuan came to Yan'an this time and wore the new sneakers his mother bought.Shao Lin remembered the brand, and found the model of the sports shoes based on the pictures on the Internet, and then found the pattern of the soles, which happened to match the prints of the size 40 shoes!

The police concluded that Shao Yuan had indeed been to this place.But the strange thing is that he seems to have dug a little under the twin tree and pushed the soil back. Moreover, there is no blood under the tree, and there is no overwhelmed vegetation, and there seems to be no violent conflict.

If Shao Yuan was knocked unconscious and kidnapped here, it would be no easy task to tie a 1.7-year-old boy nearly 14 meters tall down the mountain.

So where did Shao Yuan go?

The search and rescue team launched a new round of searches centered on Twin Trees.

At the same time, the forensic team raced against time to determine the source of the child's corpse.

About ten years ago, many coastal cities, including Yan'an City, experienced a peak period of "child missing cases". Every year, many children disappeared and their whereabouts remained unknown.Although the police had drawn portraits of several "child traffickers" based on the descriptions of relevant witnesses, they were still unable to detect the criminal gang.The stacks of missing children's files were shelved, which became the nightmare of countless parents and the regret of countless policemen.

Later, the cost of DNA testing fell off a cliff, and Zheng Jiansen of the Municipal Bureau took the lead in a project to rebuild the DNA database of these missing children.He led the police under his command to contact the immediate family members of the missing children one by one, collected DNA through hair and oral surface cells, and recorded it in the warehouse, hoping that, perhaps one day in the future, the child's DNA would suddenly appear.

Thanks to Zheng Jiansen's vigorous promotion of this plan, as soon as Yu Min ran the DNA, he found a match in the database——

The child buried under the twin tree was lost in Xishan ten years ago.His name is Liu Yutong, and he was only seven years old when he disappeared.

It was Tongtong who disappeared for so many years and survived in the ghost stories of college students!

It's just that no one expected that Tong Tong's body would be seen again in such a way.

Xia Yi couldn't help swearing: "I thought that story was fabricated by a fool!"

He hurried back to the bureau, and found out the case of Liu Yutong's disappearance ten years ago from the dusty file room.

At that time, Liu Yutong's family lived in "Xiaoqiuping" - only a small hill was separated from the back gate of Yan'an University.Back then, Xiaoqiuping was a one-story house with streams and farmland. Of course, Xiaoqiuping has been completely demolished and turned into the teaching building of Yanda Agricultural College.

Ten years ago, on an ordinary summer afternoon, Liu Yutong went to play in the mountains as usual, but never came back.

The police searched the mountain for several days, but failed to find the child's body on the west mountain. They suspected that the little boy, like the other missing children at that time, was kidnapped by human traffickers while playing.At that time, both criminal investigation technology and surveillance coverage were far inferior to what they are now... However, unfortunately, the old policeman who was in charge of this case died of a stroke last year.However, there are only a few records recorded in the ancient case file, so it is really difficult to restore many details of that year.

As time passed by, the Mathematical Olympiad training camp that Shao Yuan participated in before also rang the last bell for the end of the year.

Several children who came from Yanquan City together, seeing that Shao Yuan hadn't come back, felt that something was really wrong.Little Glasses and another boy bought their own tickets and left, while Chen Lingling's uncle was working in Yan'an and was planning to drive the child back to Yanquan, but who knew that the little girl refused to go back and insisted on meeting again police.

The pretty little girl hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.It turned out that she and Shao Yuan had known each other in school, and they happened to be student cadres, so the flirtatious flirtations in normal times had a little meaning.That day when they were playing Truth or Dare, everyone asked Shao Yuan if he had a crush on Chen Lingling, and the little girl secretly hoped that he would admit it.

Unexpectedly, Shao Yuan repented directly and changed it to a big adventure.

At that time, the little girl was a little angry.

As a result, a group of little kids burrowed into the grave, and Chen Lingling got scared when the wind was blowing in the winter, saying that we are not going, and this big adventure should be forgotten.Probably a little boy at Shao Yuan's age would bully whoever he liked.Shao Yuan laughed at Chen Lingling for being useless and timid all the way, which pissed off the little girl.

What happened next, Shao Lin made a good guess.

Chen Lingling thought to herself, Shao Yuan, didn't you say that you are brave?That night, she took her roommate's heated gloves and hung them all the way to the window of Shao Yuan's dormitory.Mushroom Head's heating gloves came with an anti-lost thread, and Chen Lingling took a clothes fork from the dormitory, and pressed the heating gloves on the window downstairs, and the handprint came out.

Worried that she would not see it if she fell asleep, she deliberately knocked on the downstairs door with a clothes fork.

Sure enough, the downstairs exploded very quickly, and Chen Lingling was still hiding under the covers and giggling.

She has never told Shao Yuan the truth, just to "punish" Shao Yuan, but who knows that Shao Yuan is getting more and more interested in Tongtong's affairs, so she dare not speak out.But now seeing the seriousness of the problem, Chen Lingling felt that she had to confess to the police.

"I don't want to go back to Yanquan," the little girl drooped her head in frustration, "I want to wait for Shao Yuan to come back."

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Shao Yuan's parents also came from afar.

When the two elders heard about this, they almost went crazy, but during the Spring Festival travel season, both high-speed rail and long-distance bus tickets were sold out, so they had to drive by themselves. After being stuck in traffic for seven hours, they finally arrived at Yan'an City Bureau in the evening.

At this time, Shao Yuan had also been missing for 24 hours.

Shao Lin felt that he was really ashamed to see his parents, so he asked Xia Yi to block him first.

But Zhang Jingjing heard Xia Yi's brief account of the cause and effect, and shouted loudly in the conversation room: "Impossible, I know our Xiaoyuan! Our Xiaoyuan is the most obedient, and it is impossible to deceive people to skip class. He said that my brother asked He, it must be brother looking for him! Why don't you ask brother? Why don't you ask brother!"

"And what other corpses—Xiaoyuan came to Yan'an for the first time, how could he touch such dirty things? You go and call Shao Lin out, I want him to explain clearly to me, what is going on? thing!"

"Ms. Zhang, we understand your feelings very well, but the police are currently doing their best to search and rescue your son. We are the same as you..."

"He didn't even dare to come and see him, he just has ghosts in his heart!"

After hearing this, Xia Yi became a little unhappy: "Shao Lin didn't sleep all night, and he searched the mountains with us just to find your son, don't you—"

But at this moment, Shao Lin opened the door and walked in.

Zhang Jingjing's eyes fell on Shao Lin, and she suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"I knew it, I knew it!" She pointed at Shao Lin almost hysterically, "I knew he was dangerous since I was a child! Xiao Yuan followed him, God knows what would happen! I told you earlier ——" She punched Shao Haifeng on the shoulder, shouting "Xiao Yuan" and broke down crying.

Shao Haifeng glanced at the two apologetically, and dragged his wife to the next room.

Shao Lin took a deep breath and let it out slowly to calm down.

He and Xia Yi whispered, "The kidnapper finally called."

Just now, Yan'an City Bureau received a call.

Judging from the voice, the other party obviously used a low-quality voice changer——the kidnapper only said one sentence, without giving the police any room for negotiation: "Please find the murderer who killed Liu Yutong within 72 hours, and Shao Yuan will live." Come back. Otherwise, another child will 'disappear' in the mountains."

Then Shao Yuan's voice came from the phone: "Help!"

The communication came to an abrupt end.
