love story

The quiet conference room became lively because of the clues that everyone finally found, but they felt a little cold when they thought of the cruelty of the murderer.

Lin Xin said, "Let's see which manufacturer this box of puzzles comes from."

Plum Blossom immediately turned the box over, and saw the words in small lines below: Produced by Chengsong

Mei Hua said: "Sister Lin, the puzzle maker is Chengsong."

Lin Xin let out a "hmm", then took out the two pieces of the jigsaw puzzle found on the second child's body and compared it with the first piece of the puzzle found, she pondered: "If you look at the color and the surface of the jigsaw puzzle, it is indeed the same as the one found in this room. The jigsaw puzzles produced by the merchants are almost the same. Let’s try our luck and start with this merchant to see if we can find pieces that are exactly the same as these two puzzle pieces, so as to confirm our guess.”

After hearing this, everyone searched for the puzzles of this merchant, and found that there were eight boxes in total.Without further ado, everyone took them apart one by one, and then slowly searched for the two pieces of the puzzle.

Thanks to some breakthroughs, everyone forgot to be tired, and the speed of searching was faster and more precise than before.

Yang Cong's voice in the corner shouted: "I found a piece!"

Everyone rushed to him, seeing that the jigsaw puzzle he found in the box was exactly the same as the one found in the second corpse, Lin Xin glanced at Leng Yu and said, "This is the box."

Then, everyone began to put together the three thousand pieces of the puzzle.

About an hour and a half later, the jigsaw puzzle was finally completed. It was also a landscape picture, but this time the pattern was not a city night scene pattern, but a beach at sunset.The beach is full of families with children playing on the beach, and the legs of the two pieces of the puzzle are from the right leg of the boy on the pattern, and the other is from the left leg of the girl next to the boy.

Both children had smiles on their faces.However, when the two puzzle pieces were removed, both children lost a leg each.

It was originally a very common jigsaw puzzle pattern, but with the occurrence of the murder case, it appeared surprisingly strange.

Sakura stared at the jigsaw puzzle and murmured: "It's so scary..."

Lin Xin said slowly: "Actually, the jigsaw puzzle is not scary, what is scary is the motive behind the murderer and what will happen next. We don't know how many children will be brutally murdered by this devil. But, until now , except for this clue on the puzzle, the rest are still kept in the dark."

Leng Yu stared at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that it was already 05:30 in the morning, she said to Lin Xin: "Officer Lin, it's already morning, everyone here hasn't had enough rest, or let them go home to catch up on sleep Police officer Chen Chong is still collecting evidence, if he finds anything, he will notify."

Lin Xin saw that it was not an option to keep everyone here, so she nodded and said, "Well, well, everyone, go back now. If you find anything, we will contact you by phone."

Following her words, everyone went home one after another, and only Leng Yu and herself were left in the conference room.

Leng Yu looked around in the conference room and said, "We'll put these puzzles here for the time being, and we'll tell Uncle Jian, the cleaner, not to clean them up first, maybe we still need to use them."

Lin Xin said: "Well, I will tell him. What about you? Won't you go back?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xin stood up and looked sideways at Leng Yu.

Leng Yu took a step forward, came to her side, and said: "It's already morning, I should go for a run at this time, but now it's past that time. Why don't we go have breakfast?"

Lin Xin asked, "Is there a breakfast shop here so early?"

Leng Yu pursed her lips and said, "You come with me."

Seeing that Lin Xin would definitely not be able to sleep anyway and was a little hungry, she agreed, "Okay."

The weather in October had begun to turn cold, and the two of them wore a coat and walked outside side by side.Leng Yu led Lin Xin to turn left and right, and came to a bakery.

Lin Xin looked up at the bakery and asked, "So there is a bakery here?"

Leng Yu looked down at her profile slightly, and said with a smile, "I sometimes come here for a run, so I know the existence of this store."

Lin Xin let out an "oh" and said, "Then I'll come here for a run in the future, and after the run, I can buy some warm bread to eat."

Leng Yu didn't answer, pushed the door and walked in, Lin Xin followed.As soon as she stepped into the door, Lin Xin's spirit was lifted, and the delicious smell of butter bread rushed to her face, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Moreover, the inside of the bakery was no colder than the outside of the shop. She felt her body warmed up, and with the smell of bread, Lin Xin forgot for the time being the depressed feeling that she had been unable to solve the case for the past few days.

She whispered to Leng Yu, "Why didn't you tell me that there is such an exquisite bakery here?"

Leng Yu also whispered to her: "Because you didn't ask me. But... it's too late to ask now."

Lin Xin rolled her eyes and sighed, "Why do you always know more than me..."

Leng Yu said, "Because I'm smarter than you."

Lin Xin pushed her lightly and reprimanded, "Narcissism!"

Leng Yu smiled, and said: "Okay, look at the bread there, go and see what you like."

Following Leng Yu's gaze, Lin Xin saw the baker laying out the baked bread one by one. The smell immediately whetted her appetite, and she walked straight in that direction.

Leng Yu had tasted the bread here a long time ago, and didn't say that she particularly wanted to eat it at this time.She followed Lin Xin and accompanied her to buy bread.

Lin Xin rubbed her hands together and said, "This is just right, the bread is so fresh."

Then, she looked at a few things she wanted to eat, and after instructing the staff there, she went to the counter to pay.

After paying, she saw that Leng Yu didn't buy any, so she asked, "Why didn't you buy any?"

Leng Yu said indifferently: "I'm not hungry yet, I'll just make a bowl of porridge for myself when I go back."

Lin Xin looked at the bread in her paper bag, then raised her head and said to her, "There is a park over there, let's sit there for a while, and treat it as you eating with me."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

The two came to the park near the police station together, and saw a group of old aunts doing Tai Chi gathered there.They chose a clean bench and sat next to each other.

Lin Xin took out a piece of bread from the bag, handed it to Leng Yu, and said, "Eat one? Is it true that you can watch me eat it?"

Leng Yu smiled, took one from her hand, and said, "Thank you."

Then, the two stopped talking.While eating bread, I watched the old aunts doing Tai Chi.

Lin Xin was fascinated, and suddenly said: "If I retire in the future, I also want to practice Tai Chi like them, and live a more comfortable life."

Leng Yu turned her head and looked at her quietly, without speaking.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Lin Xin turned her head and looked at her, and saw that her deep and dark eyes were looking at her. There was no wave in it, but for some reason, Lin Xin felt very comfortable looking at her, and didn't feel cold.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Lin Xin asked.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking, when you reach that age, I don't know if this park will still exist." Leng Yu said flatly.

"If not, then we can go to another one." Lin Xin said.

Leng Yu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Us?"

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Yes, it's just us!"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence.

Leng Yu responded in a low voice, lowered her eyes and stopped talking, looking thoughtful.

Lin Xin didn't know what she was thinking when she saw this boring gourd, she always fell silent suddenly.

After the two were silent for a few minutes, she suddenly thought of the bouquet of red roses, and thinking of the red bouquet of roses placed in front of Leng Yu's desk that day made her eyes a little dazzling.

She has always been curious about which wild man or wild woman sent her flowers.

So, she pretended to ask casually: "Leng... Leng Yu, why did you throw away that bouquet of red roses that day?"

Leng Yu heard her ask about this matter, looked at her slightly sideways, and said, "Because I don't like it, so I threw it away."

Lin Xin let out an "oh" and asked again, "Then why don't you like it?"

Leng Yu curled her lips and asked, "Why do you care so much about that bouquet of roses? I remember you asked me more than once."

Lin Xin said: "It's nothing, I'll just ask casually, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

Seeing that her tone was a little dull, Leng Yu lowered her head and smiled slightly, before saying, "Because the person who gave me the gift is not someone I like, so I threw it away."

Lin Xin asked: "Who sent you that? Isn't it your partner?"

Hearing what she said, Leng Yu remembered the truth or dare game they played two months ago. At that time, Lin Xin asked if she had someone she liked, and she answered yes.

So, Leng Yu looked into her eyes and said, "No...the person I like doesn't know that I like her."

Lin Xin asked in surprise: "What? He didn't know you liked him? Then why didn't you tell him? You have such excellent qualifications, if you don't like you, you are blind."

Hearing what she said, Leng Yu felt sour in his heart.

No matter how good you are, as long as the people in front of you can't see yourself, it's useless.

Thinking of this, Leng Yu turned around and asked, "Do you think I'm excellent?"

Lin Xin nodded, stared at her face, and said with a smile: "Not only is she outstanding, but she is also very good-looking!"

A gleam of light flashed in Leng Yu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She said, "No matter how good you are, you can't catch her eyes. Don't talk about me, what about you? Do you have someone you like?"

When Lin Xin heard her question, she said, "No. But that day, my mother asked me to go home and go on a blind date."

Hearing what she said, Leng Yu's heart tightened, and he asked, "Blind date? Are you going?"

Lin Xin said: "No. The person she wants me to go on a blind date with is Xiao Hong who used to live near our house. Do you remember Xiao Hong? It's the boy who wanted to do puzzles with me before, but was scared away by you later."

Speaking of this, Lin Xin laughed, and continued: "Do you know? At that time, you were very fierce. You looked at him coldly, and people who didn't know thought you were going to eat him."

Leng Yu heard her mention this past, and remembered that he had vaguely possessive towards Lin Xin at that time, but it was not until high school that he realized that his friendship with her had risen to a deeper level than friendship.

Leng Yu said cautiously: "It turned out to be him, then...do you want to try?"

Lin Xin said: "No, I don't even like him. Later my mother said, if I...I..."

At this point, Lin Xin hesitated a few times, but did not continue.

Leng Yu asked curiously, "What if it were you?"

Lin Xin paused, pretending to pack up the bag of bread she had eaten, then stood up and said to her, "Are you full? We'll go back when we're full. I'm going to go back and sleep for a while."

After that, he turned around and left.Leng Yu looked at her inexplicably, and stood up, and the two returned to the police station together.

Along the way, Lin Xin didn't speak anymore. She suddenly felt that Leng Yu, who was walking beside her, was like a stove. In such a cold weather, how could it transmit heat to her ears, making her ears warm.

At the same time, she thought of what her mother said to herself that day. . .

If you didn't like her, I would have sent your father to her house to propose marriage.
