demons lurk beside you

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

All they can think of now is: no one has ever been to Hou Zhongyang's home after his death.

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

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

Huang Lin followed her fingers to look over, and couldn't help opening her mouth when she saw the gorgeous shirts hanging in the closet.

"Could it be that Hou Zhongyang is the legendary myth of immortality?"

At this time, Xiao Cheng also walked into the bedroom, and after hearing what Huang Lin said, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Judging from the photo on his ID card, his face is already wrinkled, how could it be a myth of immortality?" ?He wants to be a young man again. I think he thought he didn't play enough when he was young, so he became lustful when he was old."

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

color?

Yeah, why haven't they thought about it before?

Leng Yu pointed to the gray shirt that Xiao Cheng was wearing, and said, "Besides black, blue, and gray clothes in your closet, it is impossible to have clothes of other colors."

Then, she turned her head to Huang Lin, glanced up and down what she was wearing, and said coldly: "And you never wear nice clothes, so you must not think about color."

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

"I'm different." Leng Yu dropped 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 either doesn't associate with anyone, or he is very annoying." Leng Yu said, looking up Looking at the sky already covered with dark clouds.

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

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

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

"Yes, yes!" Huang Lin passed Xiao Cheng and walked to the window, looking at the bean-like raindrops outside the window.

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

After hearing this, Huang Lin quickly said, "Just now the boss said to go back to the master bedroom, let's go to the master bedroom to have a look."

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

Leng Yu took out the shirts from the closet one by one and piled 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 waved to them and shouted: "Come here quickly, and see if you can find the exact same clothes that Hou Zhongyang wore after his death from this pile of clothes."

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

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.

On the other hand, Leng Yu turned on her mobile phone, called up a photo, and put the photo of the shirt on Hou Zhongyang's body that she had taken earlier in front of her.

The three of them searched and compared them with the clothes in the photos 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 in her hand to the bed and said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the trademark on the clothes." Leng Yu took out the small notebook she carried with her, turned over the collar of the clothes, and wrote down the name of the manufacturer.

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

It wasn't until they turned up the collar of the last shirt that Leng Yu spread out the small book on the bed, and then crossed out the repeated manufacturer's name one by one with the pen in his hand.

By the time she crossed out the last one, there were only four unrepeated makers left.

"Isn't this easier?" Leng Yu pushed Xiaoben in front of them.

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

***

In a small remote village in Yangshi, a group of young men and women are playing by the waterfall while taking advantage of the heavy rain.Boys and girls who are just in adolescence know that the waterfall in the rain is obviously very dangerous, but each of them insists on being young, so they are more courageous than ordinary people, so they come to the waterfall to play without telling their parents.

When everyone was having fun, one of the young girls suddenly saw something floating on the water, and she quietly swam towards it. His face turned blue and his lips turned white from fright.

"Ah!!!!!!" The shout of the young girl pierced the sky.

"Little Lian, what's the matter with you?" A young boy wearing shorts and topless, after hearing the young girl's screams, quickly swam to her side and hugged her in his arms.

I saw Xiao Lian buried her head in the young boy's arms, and then she pointed at the floating objects not far away, crying "Woooo" from her mouth, unable to utter a word in a daze.

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

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

After everyone heard this, their expressions changed accordingly.

And a few more daring young boys hurriedly swam towards the thing, and when they swam close, they suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell in their noses, and their hearts tightened.

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 over!"

Dayong quickly shook his hand and shouted: "If this person is still alive, we have to save him!" After finishing speaking, he swam forward again, wanting to check whether this person was dead or not. .

Everyone looked at Dayong's back as he swam towards the object, and everyone held their breath, their hearts fluttering.And Dayong, who was larger in size and strength than others, swam to the side of the object, and used the buoyancy of the water to vigorously turn over the floating object with both hands.

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

After everyone heard this, they hurriedly climbed to a flat area next to the waterfall. They each took out their mobile phones and dialed numbers indiscriminately.I saw that all of them had trembling hands, but none of them could successfully press the 999 button. Only a relatively calm boy successfully dialed the phone. He said, "Hello, is this the Public Security Bureau? We are in Yangshi A dead body was found in XX Waterfall!"

***

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

It was still raining heavily outside, and they ran to the car parked outside the house quickly, regardless of whether they would get wet from the heavy rain. After the three of them quickly got into the car, Leng Yu pulled out her mobile phone in a hurry, and quickly sent Lin Xin a message: It's raining and the mountain road is slippery. Be careful.

Then, after she turned on the phone's navigation, she threw it to Huang Lin and said, "Help me to look at the navigation and lead the way."

Huang Lin caught the phone that Leng Yu threw to her, looked down at the navigation, and replied, "Yes."

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang an emergency ringtone. After Huang Lin saw the caller's name, he connected it immediately.She alertly turned on the speaker in the phone, and Boss Wang's deep voice came over immediately.

"Officer Leng, another body was found in the XX Waterfall in Yang City. According to the dictation of the Public Security Bureau, the condition of the deceased has something in common with the first body you found. Hurry up!"

Leng Yu frowned deeply.

She thought that she had just discovered a little clue from Hou Zhongyang's home, and just after she had a clue, Boss Wang said that another corpse had been found.

Moreover, the condition of the second deceased had something 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 split up. Xiao Cheng, you go back to the Federal Bureau immediately, and take people to investigate the 4 clothing manufacturers to see if you can find some clues You must find out the color of the holed fabric on Hou Zhongyang's clothes to see if it is a single color or a combination of many different colors."

After hearing this, Xiao Cheng quickly nodded in agreement.

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 ups and downs."

Leng Yu turned the car around and drove on the road again.She pursed her lips tightly, frowned, and said nothing.She was thinking about why the murderer kept killing people in a row, 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 jumped out of the car regardless of the heavy rain, and saw the police officers carrying out reconnaissance operations in the rain from a distance.

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

In such a rainy day, the body was salvaged without destroying the scene or the existing physical evidence, which made the work of salvaging the body extremely difficult.

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

So, she took a step and walked towards them, standing aside and listening carefully.

Because Xiao Lian, who was the first to discover the body, was still in lingering fear, her voice was still trembling when she spoke, and she couldn't even speak clearly.Seeing this, the other young men and women hurriedly told Officer Chen how they found the body.

Leng Yu listened silently for a while, and then whispered to Police Officer Chen: "Send someone immediately to see if there are other things found in the upper reaches of the waterfall, such as huts and other buildings. They also found it while playing in the water." The dead body, it is the rainy season, and I think the dead body was washed from upstream to downstream because of the rain."

What Leng Yu said was not without reason.After hearing this, Police Officer Chen quickly nodded and said yes, and then sent someone to go around the upstream to check.

After 30 minutes, the body was finally salvaged by several people, and it was dumped wetly in an open place next to the waterfall.The forensic doctor hurriedly squatted down and began a round of preliminary examination of the corpse.Following the forensic examination, he said: "The deceased was a male, aged between 50 and 60, and the time of death was about 3 days."

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

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

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

When the forensic doctor carefully turned the body over, Leng Yu saw that the clothes on the back of the deceased were still intact without any holes.

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

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

"Well, we can merge the cases. But...he's not the last one." Leng Yu pointed at the deceased, her tone a bit serious.

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

"One of the murderer's reasons for killing the deceased was for something on the clothes. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately cut some fabric from the deceased's clothes, forming holes. As long as the murderer didn't get what he wanted, He will definitely not give up. It's just...what is he cutting the fabric from his clothes for?" 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 there was only one big hole in the clothes of the No. 2 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 was thinking, if the murderer only wanted something on the clothes of the deceased, why didn't he just go and buy the clothes? If he bought all the clothes , when the time comes, I can do whatever I want with my clothes, and even cut out pieces of clothes as I like, turning them into rags, why bother killing people.”

After hearing Huang Lin's question, Leng Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, the murderer can go to any clothing store to buy his favorite clothes, and then he can do whatever he wants with the clothes. However, things Back to the original point, why did he commit murder? Moreover, after he killed someone, he deliberately cut off certain parts of the deceased’s clothes, did he want to cut out the fabric and then make it into something else?”

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

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

When Leng Yu spoke to the end, everyone felt a burst of fear for some reason, and the hairs on their bodies immediately stood on end.

Everyone couldn't help but see the ruthlessness and coldness on the murderer's face when he killed people.
