demons lurk beside you

Could it be such a coincidence?

After Lin Xin heard Officer Tang's report, she immediately said to him: "Okay, we'll go there right away, please send us your location." After she finished speaking, she put the phone on and said to Yang Cong and Meihua: " Onion, turn around, Officer Tang and the others found a female corpse in the river."

"Okay." Yang Cong said quickly.He hurriedly turned back to the front of the car, followed Lin Xin's navigation and drove towards the direction of the river they said.

"Sister Lin, what's the situation?" Mei Hua asked from behind.

"I don't know yet. Officer Tang just said that a corpse was found, but he probably doesn't know the specific circumstances." Lin Xin said with a frown.

A dead body was found again in Long City, which would definitely cause another commotion in such a peaceful small town.

Lin Xin still remembered that about a year ago, in the pasture of a high school in Longshi, they dug up Lu Hongyun's body. At that time, the whole incident caused a sensation in the whole Longshi.

Now, after Lu Hongyun, another corpse was found in a river in Longshi. I don't know what kind of shock this would bring to Longshi.

They quickly drove to the river bank, and saw that many police officers had already gathered there, and Officer Tang had also arrived.I saw the police officers and the forensic doctor entered the river together and were salvaging the corpse.

Lin Xin glanced at the river bank, and saw that the place was very remote.Apart from them, no one else was seen.

When they opened the car door, bursts of stench came to their nostrils.Lin Xin said quickly: "Put on the mask, the smell is very strong, I think the deceased should have been dead for a week."

Mei Hua asked, "Could the deceased be the same Chen Yanling who Xiaoying came to report missing this morning?"

"Well, it should be her." Lin Xin said.

Lin Xin and others found Officer Tang later.When they came to him, they saw that his brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes were heavy, so they knew that he was very troubled by this case and took it very seriously.

The bright and eye-catching yellow warning tape was then surrounded by layers by the river bank, while Yang Cong and Mei Hua went to inspect the scene separately, leaving only Lin Xin standing beside Officer Tang.After looking around, she asked, "Officer Tang, what do you think?"

"Officer Lin, I think the identity of the deceased should be very clear." Officer Tang sighed.

"En." Lin Xin responded briefly, then turned to watch them salvage the corpse.

After a long time, she asked again: "How did they find the corpse?"

"Did you see those two police dogs? If the dogs hadn't had a sharp nose and brought them here, I don't think anyone would have thought that there were dead bodies floating in the river. You see, there are a lot of weeds here. I don’t know if anyone has been here before.” Officer Tang said while pointing to the two police dogs barking by the river bank.

After Lin Xin glanced at the two police dogs controlled by the police, she turned her head and looked at the inspector who was crawling by the river bank to carefully examine the footprints, and said, "Yes, the murderer came to this area to throw Dead body. Let's hear what the trace inspector has to say in a moment."

While they were talking, the body had been successfully salvaged.At this time, the stench was even stronger and abnormal, but Lin Xin still reluctantly came to the corpse with Officer Tang.

When they looked at the highly decomposed corpse under their feet, they saw that apart from the upper body clothes, the pants on the lower body had long disappeared.Lin Xin made a preliminary guess and said, "The deceased was a woman, and she should have been sexually assaulted before she died."

Then she looked at the dead man's feet and said, "The dead man's shoes are missing."

Officer Tang followed Lin Xin's eyes to look at the deceased's feet, and said in a deep thought, "After the deceased was thrown into the river, the shoes he was wearing should have been washed away by the river."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xin shook her head and said: The shoes may have been washed away by the river, but what I thought was what kind of shoes the dead woman was wearing? "

After hearing this, Officer Tang laughed and said, "Officer Lin, you are always thinking about the Yangshi case in your mind, and the idea of ​​high heels has also been brought into it."

Lin Xin smiled wryly, and said, "Yeah, I don't know why, but I always feel that things are not that simple. Now in such a quiet town as Long City, there is a murder case, which makes me feel very strange .Maybe I was thinking too much, or maybe it was really related to the murder case in Yangshi, alas, I don’t know either. Let’s see what the forensic doctor has to say first.”

After she finished speaking, she asked the forensic doctor in a low voice, "How's it going?"

The forensic doctor frowned and said: "According to the preliminary investigation, the deceased died for about a week. Then, according to the death of the deceased, she was likely to have been sexually assaulted. However, since the corpse is already highly decomposed, we An autopsy will have to be done to find out if she was sexually assaulted."

Lin Xin nodded. Before she had time to say anything, she heard several other police officers who were searching the river not far away shout: "Officer Tang, we found a female purse in the river!"

After hearing this, they quickly came to those police officers.Police officer Tang took the wallet from them, glanced at the face and name on the woman's ID card, and said in a deep voice, "The deceased is indeed Chen Yanling."

Lin Xin glanced at the photo and saw that she had a pretty face, exactly the same as the girl in the photo that Xiaoying showed them this morning, and then glanced at her name before saying, "Well, she really was murdered."

Since the body has been soaked in the river for many days, the evidence on the body has probably been washed away by the river.The forensic doctor greeted several people and asked them to help him put the body into a black plastic bag, and then sent her to the dissection room of the Long City Public Security Bureau.

"Officer Tang, I'm still thinking about the shoes. I feel very uneasy if I haven't found the deceased's shoes for a day." Lin Xin frowned and said.She had a big premonition that Chen Yanling's death should not be easy for her.

"They will continue to search, why don't we go back to the Public Security Bureau to discuss it?" Officer Tang said.

"No, Officer Tang, we are more than discussing. I want to meet people who have had contact with Chen Yanling, including her boyfriend, roommate, teacher and classmates."

"Well, why don't we wait for Chen Yanling's identity to be determined, and then go to the school to negotiate with the principal." Officer Tang nodded in agreement with her.

At this time, Yang Cong and Meihua had also arrived beside them. Officer Tang turned his head and told the police officers beside him, "Be sure to find the deceased's shoes, or anything related to her. I will accompany you in the next few days." Officer Lin is going to XX University, if you have any news, please let me know."

After the police officer listened carefully to the boss's instructions, he agreed in a low voice.

So, everyone rushed back to the Public Security Bureau again.Along the way, Lin Xin reported the news about Long City to Police Officer Wu in Yang City, and then reported the information here to her boss, Director Wang.While talking, they had already returned to the city's Public Security Bureau.

Several people rushed to the dissection room and saw the forensic doctor dissecting the corpse.He looked up at them and said, "The female deceased was confirmed to have been sexually assaulted, but there were not many semen spots left. I think first: she was soaked in the river for a long time, so the traces were washed away, and second : The murderer who sexually assaulted her and killed her probably wore a condom when committing the crime. So, I think it belongs to the second party, then the murderer probably came prepared.”

"If the murderer came prepared, is it possible that an acquaintance committed the crime?" Officer Tang murmured.

Lin Xin lowered her head and thought for a long time, before she said: "Well, it's possible. If it wasn't an acquaintance who committed the crime, it might have been following the deceased for a period of time. If he really followed her, then for what purpose did the murderer follow her?" where?"

At this moment, Yang Cong, who was standing by the side, interjected, "If the murderer really followed the dead woman early in the morning, then he was probably attracted by certain characteristics of the murderer."

Just after Yang Cong finished speaking, Lin Xin's mind flashed, she quickly took out her phone, picked out the photos, and said, "Chen Yanling is taller than ordinary women, does the murderer have some kind of obsession with tall women?" ?”

For some reason, the case of Peng Jingchun's murder flashed into Lin Xin's head again. She said, "Peng Jingchun is not small, and she is taller than ordinary women. Why? Usually men don't look for short women to do it." In this way, it is easier to move the victims or even abduct them. However, the figures of the two women are not usually petite. Is this just a coincidence? It just so happens that the two murderers chose a slightly taller woman A woman is here to commit the crime?"

All kinds of guesses flashed through everyone's minds in an instant, but until now, none of them seemed to be able to guess the murderer's real purpose of killing people.

"Officer Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Officer Tang asked as they left the autopsy room with Lin Xin and others.

Lin Xin rubbed her chin and said, "The corpse is already highly decomposed, and the face can't be seen clearly. Even if Chen Yanling's parents come to identify the corpse, they may not be able to identify it accurately. Therefore, we have to wait for the DNA department After giving us the correct information, we can go to the school to inquire."

Officer Tang led them into the conference hall again.At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.Officer Tang connected without even looking at it, only to hear a hurried voice from the other side say: "Officer Tang, we found the shoes of the dead woman, they are a pair of blue high heels."

High heel. .

"Okay, got it." Officer Tang immediately covered the phone, then turned to Lin Xin and the others and said, "The dead woman's shoes were found, and they were a pair of blue high-heeled shoes."

When Lin Xin heard the news, she said, "So, the deceased woman was wearing high heels when she died. Then, if it is confirmed that she is Chen Yanling, she was probably murdered after the dinner party. It is exactly what her roommate Xiaoying said, she disappeared a week ago. Although the high heels of the deceased were found, it does not mean that we can join the case in Yangshi, because they are very important. It may be two completely different cases, not committed by the same person. However, Officer Tang, we still have to go to the school, and I want to confirm one thing with Xiaoying."

"What's the matter?" Officer Tang asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but I just want to ask Xiaoying if there has been any incident of theft of underwear, underwear, etc. in the female dormitory of their school."

When Lin Xin said these words, her tone suddenly became cold.
