Talk About The Case

Early the next morning, Lin Xin and others gathered in the small conference room in the institute. They had been busy last night until almost two o'clock in the morning before they found all the shops selling jigsaw puzzles in Yang City.

When everyone gathered together, they all found the faint black under each other's eyes, but in order to get justice for the little dead, such tiredness was nothing at all.

Lin Xin put the puzzle on the table in the conference room and said, "You can take a picture of the puzzle. When it is convenient to find it, you can ask the store for help. Then I will bring this puzzle with me. As for the rest, we will assign it."

After all, Lin Xin spread out a few pieces of white paper on the table and recorded densely packed business names, addresses, and phone numbers.

She pointed to the paper and said: "I sorted these businesses according to their addresses last night. We must act separately. Onion, you go east, Meihua, you go west, Sakura, you go south, Xiaojie, you go north , And I’m in the middle, these are the business names you need to look for."

Lin Xin said as she distributed the paper to everyone.

"Let’s do things separately. If the other party has a closed-circuit television, that’s the best. You can check the records of the most recent month. If you don’t have it, it will be more difficult. Although the jigsaw you photographed in your hand may not be able to find the complete picture smoothly. Pattern, but it’s better than none."

"Furthermore, we can check the payment and charges of the merchant. Although I think the murderer will not use a credit card or any bank transfer. If any suspicious people appear, please pay more attention. There are also photos of the children’s clothes that Director Wang showed us at the meeting yesterday. I will send you a copy later. Maybe you can recognize the children from the clothes."

"In addition, the size of the only puzzle piece we have looks like a 3,000-piece puzzle, so the search range can be narrowed. If we can't confirm it, we have to ask a merchant for help."

Lin Xin glanced at everyone, and seeing everyone listening carefully, she said: "Okay, these are what I want to explain. Do you have any questions?"

The other four shook their heads.

Seeing that the matter was clear, Lin Xin clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's go now! Whether we can find all the merchants or not, we will come back to the police station around 8 o'clock to meet."

After receiving the order, everyone set out to inquire, leaving Lin Xin in the conference room.

Holding the jigsaw puzzle in her hand, she said softly in her heart: No matter who you are, I won't let you die just like that.

The weather in October was neither cold nor hot. Originally it was a wonderful season, but when something like this happened, Lin Xin had no intention of admiring the scenery outside. What she was thinking about was the flaw in the case.

She remembered the professor in the police academy saying: No matter how shrewd you are, you will always leave flaws.

Until eight o'clock in the evening, five people gathered in the conference room again, except that they all brought back a box of puzzles.

Lin Xin secretly groaned when seeing the multiple boxes of puzzles in their hands.

This proved that everyone could not accurately identify the puzzle pieces found from the children, so they bought them all, including themselves.

When Lin Xin saw that everyone had arrived, she smiled bitterly, "It seems that everyone's fate is the same."

Looking at the forty boxes of 3,000 pieces of puzzles on the table, everyone’s faces are full of gloom and mist, so I don’t know how long it will take to complete the puzzle, and after the puzzles, it may not be the right pattern. If the pattern is wrong, it will take longer to find the murderer.

In fact, there are many murder cases in the world that take a while to find the real murderer. Some are five years, some are ten years, or even twenty or thirty years. So this time Lin Xin felt that she was very It is possible that the whole case will become illicit, and it may even become a headless case.

Yang Cong put a box of jigsaw puzzles he bought on the table. He looked at these 3,000 pieces of jigsaw puzzles, his face turned green, and he looked up and said, "Sister Lin, these puzzles are so many, and we only rely on a few of us. There is no way to finish it in a short period of time. Or, let’s ask the cold police officer next door for their help."

At this moment, Lin Xin knew that in order to find the murderer as soon as possible, the problem of face must be put aside for the time being. Thinking of asking her for a little more time, I felt a little upset.

She said: "Well, I will look for her later. By the way, have you found any suspicious characters or any children similar to the little dead so far?"

Everyone disappointed Lin Xin again.

In fact, the murderer is so meticulous, maybe he will find a business that does not have CCTV. These things Lin Xin can think of, the murderer must have thought about it.

When Lin Xin thought of this, she knew that the only way to find the real culprit was these puzzles. Without delay, she walked out of the conference room and came to the door of Leng Yu's office.

She grabbed a glance at the office, and saw Leng Yu sitting in her seat, lowered her head not knowing what she was turning over. She stood up straight, knocked on the door three times, opened the door and walked in.

Leng Yu heard the door opening and looked up. Seeing Lin Xin came in, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but the soft light disappeared in a flash.

"It's rare for Police Officer Lin to come here by car, what's the matter?"

The voice was the same as before, without a trace.

"Officer Leng, I have something to ask you and your team members for help."

Lin Xin heard her slightly alienated but sarcastic tone just now, although she was angry, she had to pull herself down.

"What's the matter?" Leng Yu asked.

"Please help us with the puzzle." Lin Xin said.

The tone was earnest.

Leng Yu raised an eyebrow, and then replied, "Okay."

The short answer is unusually firm.

In this way, ten people gathered in the conference room in an instant. This is the first time they have cooperated. Lin Xin didn't expect that Leng Yu would agree in one fell swoop. She thought it might take a while for Leng Yu to mobilize her members.

Everyone moved away the tables and chairs in the conference room to make a large space, and then everyone put the bought puzzles in a corner of the room, everyone picked up the puzzles, and then two people started to put together a box.

Mei Hua sat in front of Huang Lin, and saw that in the puzzle piece that was poured out, there were several pieces that were similar to the pieces from the child, and the shapes and colors were not too different. I really don’t know how to distinguish them accurately. I don't know when I want to put it together. I want to come to other jigsaw puzzles in the corners of the room.

She looked at Lin Xin and Leng Yu, and whispered: "Huang Lin, I really didn't expect Officer Leng to promise you to help us with the puzzle. If there are so many boxes of puzzles, if there are only a few people, it would be strange if we didn't fight to death. Also. I don't know what Sister Lin said that made her agree so easily."

Huang Lin followed her gaze and looked at the two bosses, and then turned to Meihua and said, "There are some things you shouldn't see too clearly."

Mei Hua asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Huang Lin said: "It's okay, let's continue, if you don't finish the spelling, your sister Lin will have a headache."

Mei Hua thought that there were so many boxes of jigsaw puzzles beside her, so she put together intently.

Yang Cong on the other side said to Xiao Cheng, "Old Xiao, thanks to you, now I feel bright."

Xiao Cheng said: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with our team now. Please ask me to have a meal after solving the case, haha!"

Yang Cong said: "I don't know if I can solve the case. It feels tricky to get a case."

Xiao Cheng said: "Your sister Lin was not built, and her staff have solved many cases so far, which is almost the same as our boss."

Yang Cong replied, "Well, that's true."

Lin Xin and Leng Yu sat cross-legged face to face. The two looked at the jigsaw puzzle that Lin Xin had obtained from the young deceased. They compared it with the pattern of the jigsaw puzzle box. There were a few things that were similar to that piece of jigsaw puzzle. I don't know if it's right or wrong.

Lin Xin sighed and said, "It seems that I still have to fight to know."

Leng Yu raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said: "We put this puzzle piece in front of us. If we encounter a puzzle piece that is somewhat similar to this one, we should pay attention to it for a while, and then check it, in case it is really here. It's in forty boxes."

Lin Xin nodded, and the two of them joined their heads together carefully.

Since both of them are serious people, once they started, they didn't talk any more. Leng Yu said few things at first, and Lin Xin was eager to find out the real culprit soon, so she didn't say any more insignificant nonsense.

For a while, the room was quiet.

Leng Yu sat opposite Lin Xin, and occasionally looked up at her and saw her frowning. Seeing that a small amount of hair fell off Lin Xin's forehead, she raised her hand to keep her from behind her ears.

Her behavior is the same as when she was a child.

It's just that Lin Xin on the opposite side is the same as before. She didn't notice Leng Yu's behavior at all, she concentrated on the puzzle.

Seeing her attentively, Leng Yu smiled at the corner of her mouth. When she raised her hand to take the puzzle piece next to her, it happened that Lin Xin's hand was also heading in that direction, so her two hands inadvertently touched her. Together.

The two took away their hands like an electric shock, and Lin Xin recovered from her concentrated thoughts, only to realize that she had just accidentally touched her hand.

When she raised her head, she happened to see the look in Leng Yu's eyes. Although there was no ups and downs in her eyes, Lin Xin felt that there was a little starlight inside, which attracted herself.

She hurriedly looked away, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry."

Although he couldn't hear anything in his tone, his ears were already red.

Leng Yu stared at Lin Xin for a few seconds. There was a little embarrassment in the air around her. She glanced left and right. Seeing that everyone hadn't noticed them here, she coughed softly and said, "Are you thirsty? Go get some water for everyone."

After that, he got up and walked out of the meeting room.

When Lin Xin saw her leaving, she raised her head, staring at the tall and straight back she was leaving, and then looked down again at the right hand that she had accidentally touched her hand just now, there seemed to be the same touch. She could feel that although it was not a slippery hand, it was warm enough.

Lin Xin raised her hand and touched her cheek, there was some heat there, and then she put her hand on her heart, there was something strange there, and she jumped constantly.

Not long after, Leng Yu brought in a bag of mineral water and put it on the table next to him. Then he took two bottles and handed one to Lin Xin. Got... the face is blushing."

Lin Xin:.........
