demons lurk beside you

Officer Zhang's visit undoubtedly brought some useful information to Leng Yu and others, which made Officer Tang feel very relieved.Because, he felt that they were one step closer to the truth.

"The murderer is very smart, it is undeniable. At the same time, he left many loopholes, just because he wanted to cover up his crime, but he failed..." Leng Yu said, crossing his arms.

"But...we don't know his identity yet." Officer Tang sat up straight at this moment, and said to Leng Yu, his words were anxious.

Then, he said: "If we don't find the murderer, we won't be able to explain to Yan Shikai's family."

After hearing this, Leng Yu and Lin Xin naturally understood what he meant.

Therefore, Lin Xin smiled slightly and said to him: "Officer Tang, since we have taken over this task, we will do our best to find the murderer. Now, let us start to piece together these fragmentary clues, so that perhaps We can guess the identity of the murderer, and then we can start looking for it from there."

"Okay, let's start now. Officer Zhang, you also stay and listen to the analysis results of Officer Lin and the others." Officer Tang ordered, and at the same time fixed his eyes on Lin Xin, looking forward to what she will do next. analyze.

After Officer Zhang agreed, he also sat down in his original position and cheered up.

Lin Xin glanced at Leng Yu, saw the other party nodded, stood up from the chair, and walked to the center of the conference hall.After she bowed her head and thought for a while, she said to them: "Everyone, let's start with the young man Yan Shikai. Yan Shikai is the missing person and the victim of this case, but he is only 15 years old. He was only a junior high school student, but he disappeared for no reason after playing temporary work in the magic team for nearly two weeks. However, we only recently found his body parts, while the upper body skeleton and head are in Yan's house Officer Leng and I went to Yan’s house to search for a while earlier, and found a small blue iron box hidden in Yan Shikai’s bedroom, and a sum of money was hidden in the iron box. "

When Lin Xin said this, she glanced at Officer Zhang, and re-concluded and explained everything she found.

She paused for a moment, and then said again: "When Police Officer Leng and I went to Yan's house for the first time, we found this clue, and I wondered why a small magic team would be able to give so much to Lingong." Therefore, we guessed that maybe the entire magic team is being controlled by a person with a lot of money. Later, we came to Yan's house again today with Police Officer Tang, and this time we counted the money that Yan Shikai hid We found out that it was 1 yuan, and then we learned from you that the daily salary of temporary workers is 2 yuan, which is impossible to be 500 yuan no matter how we calculate. In addition, we also asked Mrs. Yan , She said that she had never given her son so much money, so where did the extra money come from? Here, we make another guess, the money may really come from the Magic team , but the salary the team gave him was different from other temporary workers, and he obviously got more."

"Why does the magic team want to pay Yan Shikai more?" Officer Zhang frowned and asked, his thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't understand why the magic team did this.

Officer Tang interjected at this time: "Officer Zhang, because the murderer targeted Yan Shikai early in the morning. They came to Longshi to perform not because they wanted to make a name for the team, but just as a cover to attract Yan Shikai, and then Kill him. As for why this happened, Officer Lin will analyze it for us later." When Officer Tang said this, he looked at Lin Xin again and said, "Officer Lin, continue talking."

Lin Xin nodded, and then said: "Officer Tang is right. The murderer probably targeted Yan Shikai early in the morning, and then came all the way to Longshi. As for why Yan Shikai was sought, we guess it was because the murderer and the Yan family There may have been hatred. However, things come back to the original point again. What kind of hatred can a 15-year-old boy have with the murderer? So, we locked the target on Yan Shikai’s parents. Then, today we went to After visiting Yan’s house, we found out that Yan Shikai’s father, Yan Jie, had a lot of affairs. We found that Yan Jie had a lot of romantic affairs when he was young, and he didn’t seem to have repaid these romantic debts properly. And he didn't take them seriously, which may have caused all the disasters today. Therefore, we speculate that the case may be related to hatred, but the object of hatred is not Yan Shikai, but Yan Jie, but the debt It will be repaid by Yan Shikai."

At this time, Police Officer Zhang interjected again and asked: "So, is this bloody case related to Yan Jie's romantic debt?"

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Maybe that's it. However, I want to ask you... When you got the information out of Lingong's mouth, did anyone ever reveal that Yan Shikai was in the magic troupe with others? Were there any disputes, even fights?"

"That's not true." Officer Tang and Officer Zhang said in unison.

"Well, that's it. Since there was no dispute, how could there be any enmity?" Lin Xin said, and then walked in the conference hall.

After a long time, she spoke again: "The next thing we want to talk about is why the Magic Troupe chose to dismiss Temporary Workers before the 14th day. We have already discussed this reason, so let's turn our focus to another Let’s start with a clue. Before, we mentioned to Police Officer Tang that before the magic show started, there were two groups of employees to decorate the venue. The first group was made by Longshi XX Service Company, while the other group It was sent by the magic team. According to Zhang Qingzhang, the foreman of XX service company, the second batch of employees said that the way they set up the backstage was very unfamiliar, as if they were laymen. Then, if we transfer the matter to the magic After the regiment dismissed Lingong on the 12th day, which group of employees replaced Lingong to do these backstage and aftermath work? According to me, I think it is still replaced by that group of unfamiliar employees gone."

"I agree with Officer Lin's point of view. These employees are still in Longshi, so if they are not allowed to do the aftermath, who should do it?" Officer Tang said.

"Well, I think so too." Leng Yuhe said, then looked at Officer Zhang and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think so too." Officer Zhang nodded.

Lin Xin glanced at the crowd and said, "Okay, since everyone thinks so, then I will continue. Earlier, we also learned from Foreman Zhang of XX Service Company that this group of employees with jerky skills If their skin is dark, it proves that they should be exposed to the sun for a long time like Mr. Zhang and others. However, what kind of work did they do? Why is their skin darker than ordinary people? What do you think about this matter? ?”

Officer Tang frowned and said, "I think it's really possible that they have been exposed to the sun for a long time. Otherwise, I can't imagine why their skin is so dark."

Lin Xin nodded, and then asked Officer Zhang, "What about you? What do you think?"

"I have the same opinion as Police Officer Tang." I only heard Officer Zhang say so.

"Yes, I am the same. It's just that we have to pay attention to another clue." Lin Xin put her hands behind her and said slowly.

"What clue?" Officer Tang asked again.He was very interested in Lin Xin's methodical analysis, and his eyes were wide open.

Lin Xin smiled slightly and asked Police Officer Tang: "Where did Yan Shikai's father, Yan Jie, work when he was young?"

"Ah! He crossed the sea to country T!" Officer Tang said with his eyes wide open, his head was clear and he knew exactly what Lin Xin would say next.

"Yes, he went to country T. Then, what kind of country is country T?" Lin Xin asked with raised eyebrows, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Country T is a tropical country and it is hot all year round. People there have darker skin. Officer Lin, do you mean that this group of people are all from country T?" Officer Tang asked in surprise.

"It can't be ruled out that they are from country T. Why? Then we have to start with rice grains and rice grains." Lin Xin said with a smile, her eyes were very lively.

"Ah! That's right! Both the rice grains and the rice grains come from the same place, that is fragrant rice from country T! So, these people are all engaged in the production of white rice! They may be farmers, or they may be in a rice factory. Employees at work! No wonder, no wonder... That's why they don't know how to set up the backstage at all! Also because they have stayed in country T for a long time, their skin is darker than that of domestic people..." Police officer Tang suddenly realized that, for such a discovery I was very surprised, but also novel.

In this way, a grain of rice brought another turning point in the case, and it can even be said to create another direction of investigation.

Lin Xin and Leng Yu looked at Police Officer Tang with satisfaction at this time, and when they saw the old man's face appear bright again, they knew that they were not far from solving the case.

"Then what should we do now?" Officer Tang asked, his tone trembling.

It was caused by being too excited. .

"Officer Tang, we haven't mentioned the identity of the murderer yet." Lin Xin still kept smiling and winked at Officer Tang.

"Haha, don't you think I'm too confused? I haven't found out the identity of the murderer yet, so I'm anxious to think about what to do next." Police officer Tang scratched his head with his hand and said in embarrassment.

"The murderer's identity is already obvious, I'm reminding you. Do you still remember the white van that was burned by Peng Dahu?" Lin Xin asked.

Police officer Tang looked at her, and a flash in his head: "Ah! I know!!! The van belongs to the murderer!!! The van is not rented from outside, but originally belonged to the murderer!"

Lin Xin clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's right, the van belongs to the murderer, and the magic team also belongs to him. Those employees are all hired by him, even the people in the acrobatic troupe, magicians, etc. He hired it. So, isn't this person's identity already obvious? Rice grains were found in the van... Officer Tang, what does this remind you of?"

Officer Tang stared at Lin Xin in a daze, then turned his head to look at Leng Yu who was sitting beside him again, his eyes showed endless admiration and disbelief.

That's it!

The real identity of the murderer is really not simple!

However, Lin Xin and Leng Yu pieced together the outline of the whole case from these fragmentary clues and guessed the occupation and identity of the murderer. .

The author has something to say: the inspiration for this case came while the author was eating, haha.
