love story

The meeting didn't last long.Director Wang is not a middle-aged man who likes to talk nonsense. When he explained everything clearly, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and left the rest to his proud subordinates.

Therefore, when Lin Xin walked out of the conference room, it was only after ten o'clock in the morning.The sun was shining outside, but after the short meeting of more than an hour, Lin Xin's heart was shrouded in layers of darkness, and her mind kept circling what she had just seen.

The child is only seven years old. .

Lin Xin said to Yang Cong and Mei Hua, her left and right hands, "Let's go to the mortuary of Dongfang Hospital to see that child."

Yang Cong and Mei Hua nodded in agreement.So, the three of them took a car together to go to the hospital.

When the three arrived at the hospital, Lin Xin showed her work ID to the counter there, and then they were led to the morgue.

The temperature in the mortuary was extremely low. After they put on the robes and masks prepared by the hospital, they stepped inside and saw the small body covered by a white cloth at a glance. Standing beside them was the person in charge of the mortuary. a medical worker.

The medical staff uncovered the white cloth, and what they saw was the decomposed corpse, and the neck had been cut.Clothes had been removed from the body, and they could see scars on the body, including arms and thighs.

Lin Xin walked to the end of the corpse and looked at the wound marks on the feet. It seemed that the child had tried to escape before being killed.

The little deceased had been lying in the morgue for two days, with no one around him, and it seemed that no one had claimed it.None of us knew the real origin of this child, nor did he know whether he had declared his household registration.

According to the forensic department, the real identity of the little deceased has not yet been confirmed.

After checking for a while, they walked out of the morgue.Before leaving, Lin Xin turned her head to look at the little deceased again, and murmured: "If no one claims it, this child will probably lie in this cold mortuary forever. Then, he will wait to be buried hastily."

Having only been in this world for seven years, but left in a hurry because of a ruthless murderer, Lin Xin clenched her hands into fists.

When the three of them came out, they met a doctor in their forties. Lin Xin recognized him as Dr. Cheng Yancheng who helped Leng Yu take care of the wound that day.

She went up to say hello and said, "Hello, Doctor Cheng."

When Cheng Yan saw her, he was slightly surprised and was speechless for a while, thinking he didn't recognize Lin Xin.

Lin Xin didn't care either. After all, a doctor has to deal with so many patients every day, so maybe he won't remember people who he only met once.

She smiled and said, "Doctor Cheng doesn't remember me? I was the one who accompanied another police officer to look for your knife wound that day."

Cheng Yan thought for a while, then searched out the memory in his mind, and said, "So it's you. Is your friend okay?"

Lin Xinqi asked: "It's been a long time ago, didn't you help her remove the stitches that day?"

Cheng Yan said: "I happened to go back to my hometown that day, so another doctor took my place."

Lin Xin said: "Oh...is that so..."

Cheng Yan nodded and said, "It seems your friend didn't tell you?"

Thinking of Leng Yu, Lin Xin thought of the bouquet of roses, and that feeling came back in the morning, feeling a little depressed.However, she quickly returned to normal, after all, she still had official duties.

After Lin Xin said goodbye to Cheng Yan, she left with Yang Cong and Mei Hua.

After being so busy, it was already lunch time, Lin Xin said, "How about we have a meal in the hospital cafeteria?"

Yang Cong and Plum Blossom naturally have no objection.

When the three came here, they saw that the canteen was full of medical staff and some family members of patients having lunch.

Lin Xin said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Next to the canteen is a rest room for the staff in the hospital to rest.

In the rest room, Tang Jianhui was competing with another male doctor named Dong Lin on a puzzle, and the two of them focused on the puzzle in front of them.

Tang Jianhui looked at the [-]-piece jigsaw puzzle in front of him, and regretted the bet with Dong Lin.How can it be done in such a short time?And Dong Lin also regretted secretly, he really underestimated Tang Jianhui, but he didn't know that the other party didn't lose him at all.

Seeing that the rest time was coming to an end, Tang Jianhui looked at the pile of jigsaw puzzle pieces with a slight frown, then lay down on the chair and shouted, "Forget it, you'll win this game!"

Dong Lin wore a pair of rimless glasses on his face. He looked up at Tang Jianhui with deep eyes. A smile appeared on his gentle face, and he said, "Why did Doctor Tang give up so quickly? Let the two fair men next to him Let us do the math and see who can fight more."

Tang Jianhui just waved his hand and said, "Let's do the math."

In the end, when the results came out, Tang Jianhui was indeed the loser. He said, "No matter how hard I try, I still lose to you. Puzzles are really not my specialty."

Dong Lin walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Keep going, let's make an appointment next time to gamble."

Immediately, he reached out to Dr. Tang and said with a smile, "Bring it."

Tang Jianhui took out one hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to Dong Lin, then walked out.

When Lin Xin on the other side passed the rest room, she saw the door was opened and several doctors came out. She took a look inside and saw bridge cards and puzzles on the table inside.She vaguely heard the intermittent words of "puzzle", "lost", and "not a specialty".She just happened to see one of the doctors pay the other doctor. It seemed that they were in a competition, and they even made a bet.

Looking at their interaction, Lin Xin recalled that she and Leng Yu often competed when they were young.She lost to Leng Yu almost every time, and she won only once or twice.

At that time, they sat together to solve puzzles.

"Lin Xin, you lost." Leng Yu said while sitting there, holding her short arms.

"I know!" Lin Xin's immature voice sounded.

Just like that, willing to bet, Lin Xin and Leng Yu stayed together to do their homework all afternoon, and Leng Yu didn't let them go home for dinner until they were done.

After maintaining such a small game for a year, Lin Xin got a new gadget, so she forgot about the puzzle, and the communication between her and Leng Yu gradually decreased because she had new friends and new gadgets.

Thinking of this, Leng Yu's cold face suddenly appeared in Lin Xin's mind.

Don't know what this guy is doing now.

Thinking of this, she swept her head and went straight to the toilet.

After she was full, Lin Xin took out the puzzle piece she got from Director Wang from her pocket, that is, the jigsaw puzzle she took out from the little deceased.

The size of this jigsaw puzzle is so small, Lin Xin knew that such a small jigsaw puzzle might be made from [-] pieces.It's just, how can such a young child have the ability to spell everything?

Lin Xin carefully observed the surface of the puzzle. Since it was too small, it was impossible to see what pattern was on it.

She handed the puzzle piece to Yang Cong and Mei Hua, and said, "Can you see what this is?"

Yang Cong and Mei Hua looked down, then shook their heads and said, "Sister Lin, you don't know what it is at all."

"Well, I can't see it either. That's the most difficult part because of this. First: We don't know what the original pattern of the puzzle is. Without the pattern, we can't guess the murderer's motive. Second: Danyang City, There are already so many independent stores selling puzzles, and this does not include shopping malls. Therefore, it is very difficult to find out who bought the puzzle and what kind of puzzle it is. Third: customers who come to buy puzzles may There are a lot, and it should take us a while to find out."

Lin Xin expressed so many opinions in one breath with just one piece of the puzzle. Yang Cong and Meihua listened quietly, knowing that such a search is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"However, I have a guess. You can see that although the jigsaw puzzle was taken out of the stomach of the deceased, the color of the pattern is still very new, and there are not many signs of damage on the surface, unlike the old jigsaw puzzle. Moreover, if the murderer There was a murderous intention at the beginning, they might not go to buy it in person, they would probably send someone there. However, in order not to let their purpose be discovered, whoever they send to buy it is likely to let the little dead man buy it himself. And he Cut off the little dead man's head, making it impossible for us to recognize his appearance, the murderer is very meticulous in his work." Lin Xin said.

"Sister Lin, so you mean that we might be able to narrow down the scope and find out who the children who came to buy puzzles are?" Mei Hua asked.

"Yes, let's start with the children first, to see if we can find a clue. Then, by the way, we can also see what the pattern of the puzzles they bought may be able to find out the murderer's motive. The body of the little dead is in Yangshi If we are found, let's check from the shop that sells puzzles in Yangshi first." Lin Xin said.

After the discussion, the three rushed back to the police station.

Along the way, Lin Xin frowned. In fact, she was really not sure about this case. Everything was in a thick fog.The most troublesome thing is that the identity of the little deceased has not been found out so far, and there is no news to report the disappearance of the child. And do the parents of the little deceased know that their child has been murdered?

When they returned to the police station, the three summoned Sakura and Xiaojie to search for shops selling puzzles, and recorded them one by one.

Clues are unlikely, and hope is slim, but they must do everything in their power to find this brutal killer before another victim emerges.

I don't know how long this busy work will last, the sky is getting dark gradually, after Lin Xin and the team members have a hasty dinner, they continue to stay in the police station to search.

In fact, this kind of search is just the beginning. After finding these stores in the future, there is only one step to see and one step to take for further actions.

Lin Xin glanced at the time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, she stretched herself, and suddenly she smelled a light fragrance again from the tip of her nose, but this time it was not the fragrance of roses, but the smell she was familiar with.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

A cold voice crossed her ears, Lin Xin raised her head and saw Leng Yu standing beside her.

Lin Xin glanced at her and said, "No, thank you."

Leng Yu nodded her head and said, "Okay, then I'm leaving."

Lin Xin watched her walking away, suddenly stood up and chased after her, hugging her and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't I see you take that bouquet of red roses away?"

After asking this question, Lin Xin felt a little regretful, but if she didn't ask, she would feel uncomfortable.

Leng Yu stared at her closely, seeing a flash of expectation in her eyes, she said flatly, "I'll throw it away."

Then, turn around and leave.

Lin Xin felt a sense of relief in her heart for some reason, and her head suddenly became clear, sweeping away the faint haze that accompanied today, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes looking at Leng Yu's back.
