Talk About The Case

Chapter 36: Rose fragrance

After taking two days off, Lin Xin dragged a somewhat lazy body to the Federal Police Station. When she stepped into the serious crime department, everyone in the bureau was discussing in a low voice, but because there were so many people talking, it was not clear what they were talking about.

She approached everyone and asked, "Is there any gossip early in the morning?"

Mei Hua turned around, saw Lin Xin, and said: "Someone sent flowers to Officer Leng this morning."

flower?

What flower?

Lin Xin couldn't figure it out for a while.

Seeing her at a loss, Mei Hua said: "Just the rose, you go and look at her desk."

Lin Xin's heart tightened when she heard the three words "rose". She looked towards Leng Yu's office, and as expected, there was a bunch of bright red roses resting on her desk.

As long as an adult understands what a rose means.

Lin Xin's head was buzzing at this moment, as if she had been hit by a stone, her thoughts were a little confused, and her heart seemed to have been pried away.

She walked to her office unsteadily, put the bag on her back on the office chair, and then sat down. What she saw in front of her and what she thought in her head was the bunch of red roses.

Before long, Leng Yu came in, and her tall figure passed Lin Xin's office. Lin Xin inadvertently raised her head and glanced at her, and saw that she looked calm and vigorous.

An idea came up in her heart: Leng Yu, the demon secretly had a dog during the holidays.

But, who is it for?

Male female?

The truth or dare game in my memory appeared again. Lin Xin remembered that when asked if she had someone she liked, Leng Yu said that she did. Does that mean that she has become the one she likes?

Lin Xin was a little empty in her heart.

I don't know if it was because she couldn't accept Leng Yu's getting out of order for a while, or because she actually left her behind and secretly fell in love.

Lin Xin's office door was knocked, Mei Hua walked in and said, "Sister Lin, a meeting is taking place."

She temporarily put aside the chaotic emotions she had just received, took away some papers and pens, and went to the meeting room. At this time, the room was already full of people, and Lin Xin saw that there was a seat in the corner on the right hand side, so she walked over.

When she came to the corner, she saw that Leng Yu was sitting there steadily, with the same expression as usual. When Lin Xin saw her, the depression that had just calmed down in her chest rushed up again.

She subconsciously looked at other corners of the room and saw that there were people sitting there, so she pulled the chair beside Leng Yu away and sat down.

I didn't know that as soon as I sat down, I smelled the scent of roses next to me.

Then, I heard a cold voice: "Morning."

Lin Xin turned her head and glanced at Leng Yu. Seeing her deep eyes looking at herself, she opened her mouth and said, "Morning."

Leng Yu lowered her head, but looked at her secretly from the corner of her eyes. Seeing that she was still looking at her, she flipped through the report, then raised her eyes to Lin Xin's eyes and asked, "Does Officer Lin have anything to say? ?"

Seeing her black eyes staring at her, Lin Xin asked, "What perfume did you use this morning?"

This question was a little caught off guard, Leng Yu was sluggish for a second, then said: "It's useless, just changed the shower gel, what's wrong?"

Lin Xin leaned over, sniffed her clothes, and asked, "Why do I smell the fragrance of roses?"

Leng Yu chuckled and said, "Officer Lin, are you a dog?"

Lin Xin said, "Anyone can smell such a heavy rose fragrance."

Leng Yu said: "Really?"

Lin Xin did not answer, and ignored her.

Leng Yu stared at Lin Xin's side face closely, observing her expression, trying to see something from her, but Lin Xin just looked down at the paper on the desktop, and wrote and painted on the paper. Silent.

Seeing her doing this, Leng Yu sighed inwardly. She knew that the whole office was rumored that she was in love because of the bouquet of roses. Since the office is full of uproar, everyone in front of you must know it.

However, she didn't seem to care.

Although Lin Xin on the other side pretended to scribble casually on the paper, her thoughts had already flown far away. She kept reminiscing and guessing who would give her roses.

I haven't heard of her having a date recently, nor have anyone come to pick her up at the gate of the police station. Is it a relative of the victim? A big bunch of flowers as a thank you?

Thinking of this, Lin Xin felt that this idea was absurd, so she put it aside.

Just as the two of them were guessing each other's thoughts, Director Wang had already walked into the conference room from outside. I saw that he was wearing a pale yellow shirt today, with heavy eyes behind the heavy glasses on his face. Lin Xin and Leng Yu have been following him for many years. Seeing his solemn expressions, their hearts trembled.

Did another murder happen?

Director Wang walked to a corner of the conference room, reached out and turned off the indoor lights, then turned on the switch of the projector, and placed a set of pictures on it.

The original noise in the room was muted because of the display of the picture.

Lin Xin looked at the pictures, her face gradually became serious, especially when she saw that the pictures showed a small body.

Director Wang adjusted the clarity of the projector, and the picture was displayed clearly in front of everyone. He stood in the front, his eyes turned to the members present, and he did not speak for a long time.

He walked to the middle of the conference room, inserted his right hand into his pocket, and a deep voice came out: "You have all seen it, the headless corpse on the photo belongs to a child."

"The body of this child was found in an area called Wangcun on the outskirts of Yang City. There is a river and a small forest beside the river. The body was found by an old man. The corpse was found in a dilapidated wooden house. Inside." Director Wang said slowly.

Lin Xin and Leng Yu heard of Wangcun in Yangshi and looked at each other. Isn't that the spot where they were fishing? It has been three days since they were fishing. When was the body discovered?

At the same time, Yang Cong and others were looking at them, and everyone saw a look of surprise from the other's face.

Why didn't they find out that day?

On the contrary, was discovered by an old man?

Director Wang noticed the movements of the people in the seat, turned his head to look at Lin Xin, and asked, "Officer Lin, do you have anything you want to share with you?"

Lin Xin said, "Director Wang, Officer Leng and I, as well as a few of you here, went fishing on the riverside of Wangcun on the first day of the National Day holiday three days ago. There is indeed a forest there."

Director Wang said: "Is that so? Let me tell you that the body was discovered by this old man three days ago. It rained for a while that morning. According to the source, the old man came here to hide from the rain. The grove, followed by the wooden house."

At this moment, Lin Xin and others' faces changed even more. A few of them had been fishing there for two hours, but they didn't find any suspicious people around, nor did they notice the wooden house that Director Wang said.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Director Wang continued: "The body was already highly decomposed when it was discovered. According to the forensic doctor's autopsy report, it has been four to five days since the death."

Then, Director Wang walked to the projector, took a pen from his shirt pocket, pointed to one of the photos, and said: "When the child's body was found, the head had been cut, but according to the description of the local police in Yang City. They searched the woods and the surroundings of the house, even in the river, but they didn’t find the child’s head. After the murderer cut off the head, but did not discard it. This is indeed puzzling."

Lin Xin stared at the corpse of the child in the photo, and saw that she was still wearing underwear under her neck, and she saw that the costume was a boy.

Everyone in the conference room gritted their teeth because of the terrible news. Who on earth can hurt such a small child, even cut off his head, and abandon him into the wilderness.

What's the motive of the murderer's attack on a child?

Director Wang sighed and said: "The identity of the child has not been confirmed yet, but he is about seven years old. Moreover, according to the recent missing persons report, no reports from parents regarding the missing of their children have been received."

He flipped through another picture, which was a close-up of a child's arms and legs.

Director Wang pointed to one of the photos and said: "This child has new scars on his arms and thighs. I think the murderer should have abused him before he was alive. However... the report from the forensic department said that the child He did not suffer any sexual assault. It seems that the murderer did not act obscenely towards him. It can be temporarily concluded that the murderer is not pedophile."

"Furthermore, looking at these scars, it seems that they are not fatal injuries. The fatal injuries of the children who want to come are on the head." Director Wang continued.

After all, Director Wang took out a small transparent bag from his pocket, then held it to the top of his head, and showed everyone: "This was found in the child's body."

Lin Xin's eyes were sharp and she saw the contents of the transparent paper bag at a glance. She turned her head and whispered in Leng Yu's ear, "It's a puzzle!"

At this time, the police officers sitting in the front also saw one after another, and everyone immediately talked about it.

"That's a puzzle!"

"Why does this puzzle appear in the child?"

"Did the murderer deliberately hide the puzzle in the child's body?"

"That's not right, judging from the corpse, there is no trace of a broken stomach!"

"Does the murderer force the child to swallow the puzzle?!"

"Hey! It's cruel!"

Leng Yu and Lin Xin looked at each other again, thinking in their hearts: Why did the murderer do this?

Director Wang waited for the crowd to stop for a while, and then said: "This puzzle was in the child's stomach when it was discovered, so it is obvious that he let the child swallow the puzzle, and he didn't put it in later."

He patted the table in front of him and said, "Well, this is the preliminary understanding of the case. Next, we must find out the murderer of the child. Do you have any other questions about this case?"

The members of the serious case team shook their heads to express clearly Director Wang's explanation of the case.

Director Wang nodded and said, "Then, for the arrangement and team formation of the case, Officer Lin, you will lead the team this time!"

Lin Xin stood up from the chair and said, "Yes!"

A serious face.

After Lin Xin accepted the case, Director Wang walked out of the conference room, leaving behind a group of police officers.

Leng Yu glanced at Lin Xin and curled her lips: "Jigsaw puzzles are what you love. This kid may also love puzzles. You have to help him find the murderer."

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Well, I know."

Lin Xin stood up, and when she passed Leng Yu, she smelled the scent of roses again. .

It's really upsetting floral fragrance. .
