"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Please take a closer look and see if there are any other missing clues."
After Mu Wen finished speaking, she stood up. She also looked around. The environmental conditions here should not be able to provide anything, because this small river is a flowing river, so even if there is any evidence If it were something, it would have been washed away long ago.
"Professor Luo, do you have any ideas?"
"Well, one thing I have in mind is that the murderer was very cruel and cruel when committing the crime. Only this murderer should have very rich experience in committing crimes. At least it proves that this is not the first time he has committed a crime. As for the others, I can only make careful inferences based on subsequent investigation clues."
"Then where do you think we should start now? If DNA cannot be detected on the corpse, we will not be able to determine the true identity of the deceased."
"No, didn't the forensic doctor just say that? The deceased should not have been dead for more than a month, so we have to rush back to the bureau as soon as possible to search for the missing persons registration in the past month. If we can really find a suitable If there are clues, the identity of the deceased will probably be determined soon.
And he has just said that the deceased was a woman and she was not very old. I remember that I had some impression in the missing person registration database that there was a young girl who was indeed reported to the police by her family. . "
"Oh, really? Then let's hurry back to the station and determine the identity of the deceased as soon as possible. Only in this way can we launch the investigation as soon as possible."
After Mu Wen finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave the crime scene, and she also knew that this was actually just a salvage site. The real place where the body was dumped was definitely not here. The river was constantly flowing. It is very likely that it flows from somewhere else, and the most likely location is upstream.
The three people rushed to the bureau and turned on the computer. Here they could directly see the registration database of the missing persons. He searched for the information of the past month. After a large number of searches, they soon found a person named Li. Ting's girl came into their sight.
"look at this."
Mu Wen pointed to the information about the missing person, and then said to the two of them.
The two people came together and carefully looked at the information displayed on the computer screen. This was indeed a girl, and she was only 22 years old. She was reported to the police two weeks ago by her family. This is basically the same as the time of death inferred from the discovery of the bones. It can be matched within a month.
"Well, apart from this, is there anything else? If there is any doubt, we must also file the case together."
"No more. The others are all males or their ages don't match. The only one that matches completely is this girl."
"That's good, let's register the address based on his family, and then go look for it to see what kind of occupation this girl had before her death, and what kind of people she had been in contact with before. We need to determine her social circle as soon as possible. , only in this way can we find clues to the murderer."
While Xu Jinran was talking, she began to pack her things, because she knew that the next step was to go to the deceased's home to investigate.
Since the missing person has been reported, the contact information of the deceased's family is still very clear, including the current address, which is also registered very clearly. They found this family quickly and effortlessly.
After knocking on the door, they found that the person who opened the door was an old man who looked a little old, and his hair was completely white, and his back was a little stooped. It didn't look like he was from the city, because judging from his clothes, From the looks of it, he looks more like a rural person.
"Who are you?"
Although the old man said he was a bit old, he was relatively clear-headed when he spoke. They looked at the three uninvited guests and asked curiously.
"Hello, Grandpa, this is our ID. We would like to ask, did you go to the police station to report a crime before? A girl named Li Ting is missing. I would like to ask who you and that Li Ting are. what relationship?"
As Mu Wen spoke, she showed her ID, but she always felt that Li Ting was 22 years old, and this old man must be at least 70 years old. It seemed that he was not her father.
"Oh, it's a police officer, what? Has my granddaughter been found? Where is she now?"
After hearing this sentence, everyone understood that this person should be the grandfather of the deceased, but they were curious about her parents? Why were her parents not found?
"Can we go in and talk?"
Mu Wen asked softly. She really didn't want to stand at the door, so she went to explain the matter of the deceased. The old man nodded and hurriedly let them in.
After entering, Mu Wen discovered that this should be a very small room. Although the room was small, it was very neatly cleaned. Photos of the deceased were hung everywhere on the wall. It seemed that the girl was a beauty-loving girl. , after all, only 22 years old, which is an age that loves beauty.
"What's wrong, old man?"
At this moment, an old lady slowly walked out with a cane.
Mu Wen could tell that there seemed to be some problem with her eyes, because she used crutches to walk tentatively when walking. After seeing this, Mu Wen hurried over and supported the old lady's body.
"You, who are you?"
The old lady seemed to have sensed a stranger coming to her home, so she asked nervously.
"Old lady, don't be nervous. They are all police. They are here to investigate Tingting's disappearance."
"Really? Are you really here to investigate Tingting's disappearance? I tell you, I must beg you. You must investigate quickly. My granddaughter has been missing for more than half a month."
After the old lady spoke, she started to choke. Mu Wen felt really uncomfortable seeing all this.
"Grandma, don't be anxious. Sit down and let's chat slowly. We are here to investigate this matter, so we need to ask you for some clues."
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask. I know this child very well. She has grown up with me since she was a child. The child is very sensible and filial to us."
As they talked, they walked over and sat on the sofa.
"Grandma, can't you see?"
"Hey, we are old and no longer useful. When we learned that our granddaughter was missing, we were very anxious and rushed to the city by car overnight. Later we found out that the child was never found, so I cried and cried all day long. Ah, I cried my eyes out without thinking."
Xu Jinran had a sad expression on his face after hearing this. In fact, he could really understand the mood of the family, and after knowing this clue, she was even more afraid to tell them the truth of the matter, so Xu Jinran just said to Mu Wen He shook his head gently.
When Mu Wen saw all this, she naturally understood what it meant, so she had already decided that she would not tell the two old people about this today. He was really scared when they learned that his granddaughter had been killed. Mu Wen didn't dare to try what kind of changes would happen to his body under such circumstances.
"Don't worry, we are also investigating this matter, and I believe it will be found out soon. I would like to ask what Li Ting does for a living?"
"We don't know exactly what kind of work we do. Anyway, we know that my children have liked drawing since they were young. When I was in my hometown, I would squat in the yard outside and draw on the ground with a branch. Anyway, I see The painting of my granddaughter looks better than any other and is just like a real photo.”
"Are you saying she's a painter here?"
"I'm not a painter. I heard that I also learned painting here. It seems that I am engaged in this in some institution. In normal times, I just take on some scattered painting tasks, and then I can earn some money. Thanks to As a granddaughter, we keep sending money home, so we old people can live a very happy life."
"I would like to ask, where are Li Ting's parents?"
This is something Mu Wen has always been curious about. He didn't seem to hear them mention Li Ting's parents since he entered the door. Moreover, for such a big thing like his daughter's disappearance, he should have appeared here, but they didn't see it. No trace of him.
"Hey, it's been more than ten years. If you don't ask, we really don't want to talk about it anymore. In fact, when Tingting was very young, his parents all passed away because of an accident, so The child has been living with us, and his grandma and I have raised him over the years."
Now they finally understand Li Ting's life experience. It seems that she is really a child from a rural family, and her situation is still so miserable. After Mu Wen heard this, he was not only a little moved by it, but also felt a little for this girl. It's a pity that at the age of flower season, why did he die in vain?
"In addition to knowing that she is studying painting, do you also know if she has any other close friends? For example, does she have a boyfriend?"
"We don't know this either. The child told us some things before, but since he left our house when he grew up, he hasn't told us any news. He always reports good news but not bad news. I also know that the child is alone. Life here is not satisfactory, yet I rent a house like this.”
Now Mu Wen understood that it turned out that this house was rented, and it was not Li Ting's own house.
"Grandpa and grandma, please sit down for a moment. Can I go to his room and take a good look?"
