In the center of the room, there was a thin bed, covered with white cloth. Through the undulating curves of the white cloth, you could tell that there was a person lying underneath.
Ms. Wu approached shakily.
A policeman gently lifted the white cloth.
Screams of pain immediately erupted.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling's hearts trembled suddenly, and Wen Ling's eyes trembled. She looked at the woman kneeling beside the body and crying bitterly. Her heart-wrenching screams echoed in her ears, as well as the sound that filled the surroundings. Slightly rancid.
Wen Ling covered her mouth and started retching again.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, breathe through your mouth," Qin Yin quickly patted her on the back, "Let's go over and see the condition of the body."
"No..." Wen Ling pulled Qin Yin in fear.
"Then...then you lean here for a while, and I'll go take a look."
Qin Yin stepped forward and looked at the corpse with a frown.
The head of the corpse should have been simply cleaned, and the rotten areas were removed. Through the outline of the bones, the appearance of the deceased could be barely recognized. Of course Qin Yin could not recognize it, but looking at Ms. Wu's appearance, until this moment , she may have really given up.
Qin Yin sighed hastily, and then looked at the torso of the corpse.
Compared to the rotting head, the torso was quite well preserved. There was a hint of cold air all over the body, and the skin was pale with purple in it. It should have been stored in the corpse refrigerator opposite.
The deceased Xiao Wu was slender and should have been a young and beautiful girl when she was alive.
"It seems that there are no obvious wounds on the body," Qin Yin observed the upper body of the corpse. "Even if there are any, they can't be seen. I can't take off the clothes I'm wearing... Hey, wait..."
Qin Yin lowered his waist and got close to the female corpse's neck.
"Handprint." Wen Ling's voice sounded in his ears, startling Qin Yin.
Wen Ling came over at some point, his light-colored eyes widened and looking particularly deep.
"You saw it too," Qin Yin pointed at the female corpse's neck, "There seems to be someone's fingerprints here. Do you think it looks like it?"
Wen Ling nodded, "That's right."
At the broken part of the female corpse's neck, three deep purple finger marks were faintly visible. The marks were so shocking that one couldn't help but feel chills in one's heart.
It turns out that killing someone is such a simple matter.
A few simple marks were left, and a living human life ended.
When a murderer reaches out his hand, when he feels a body temperature similar to his own, and when he touches skin similar to his own, how does he convince himself to continue killing?
Does he need convincing?
"It seems that Xiao Wu was strangled to death," Qin Yin shuddered, "If we hadn't made that call last night, would Lu Jieyi have also been..."
Wen Ling thought for a while and shook his head, "No change."
Qin Yin took a few seconds to decipher this sentence, "No change... Oh, I understand, you mean, our phone call did not change the development of things."
Wen Ling nodded.
"It's true," Qin Yin said, "If we change, we will definitely be dragged into that swamp... So, in reality, there are other factors that prevent the gangsters from attacking Lu Yueyi, and Lu Yueyi is not because This is what’s going to kill you.”
What could it be?
The two of them held their chins together and pondered. As they thought about it, their eyes invariably focused on the mobile phone in Qin Yin's pocket.
"Telephone!"
"Could it be that the fool really called Lu Yueyi?" Qin Yin took out his mobile phone and looked at it. "Did the fool really save Lu Yueyi?"
The body identification session ended quickly. Ms. Wu had cried so much that she had no tears left and could only move limply out of the morgue with the support of two police officers.
Qin Yin and Wen Ling bid farewell to Ms. Wu sympathetically and walked toward the stairs in silence.
When he returned to the sunshine in the lobby on the first floor, Qin Yin suddenly thought of something, "Does Xiao Wu have no father?"
Wen Ling was stunned for a moment by the question, "Dad?"
"The aunt just now is named Wu, and her daughter is also named Xiao Wu," Qin Yin said, "And for such a big thing as identifying the body, both parents should normally be present. You see Ms. Wu collapsed like that. If there is one It might be better to have a companion you can rely on."
Wen Ling pondered this line of thought, "Single parent..."
"By the way, Lu Yuiyi is also a single-parent family," Qin Yin said, "she has no mother."
The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of enlightenment in their eyes at first, and then they fell into new confusion.
"But... would there be a murderer who would specifically pick out children from single-parent families to kill?" Qin Yin scratched his head, "What's the motive? I've only heard of people who specialize in killing special professions and people who are rich and unkind. The girl in the red dress, but who did the single-parent family provoke? Even if the gangster is from a single-parent family, he wouldn't look for his own kind to kill, right?"
Wen Ling pouted in agreement. She thought that she could be considered a single-parent family. Then she thought about it and then she remembered that her grandfather had left and she was in a family without relatives. She felt sour in her heart again.
"I really can't figure it out," Qin Yin walked to the conference room at the end of the corridor, "If I catch that stinky murderer, I will give him a good beating."
Wen Ling also said "hmm" indignantly.
Before the two of them reached the door of the conference room, the door opened with a creak, and the voices of Lu and his daughter came from inside.
"Comrade police, let's go then."
"Thank you, you two," the little policeman said just now, "our colleagues should still be searching your home. Please don't worry, we will not let gangsters sneak into your home again."
"Thank you." Lu Yueyi's voice was still a little hollow.
"Then can we go back now?" Lu Shoucai said and walked out of the door. Lu Yueyi stood on his right side, holding his arm tightly.
"Okay, we'll take you back right now."
"No need to bother, I can ask the driver to come over," Lu Shoucai said. "With so many people, it is inconvenient to occupy your police car."
Qin Yin and Wen Ling breathed a sigh of relief beside them, as they no longer had to huddle in the trunk of the police car and go back.
While the father and daughter were waiting in the hall, they happened to see the distraught Ms. Wu. After they learned Ms. Wu's identity from the policeman next to them, they both showed complex expressions of reluctance and fear.
Not long after, Lu Shoucai's car arrived. The car was indeed spacious. Qin Yin and Wen Ling also successfully found empty seats. When everyone left, Ms. Wu, who was sitting quietly in the hall, never raised her eyes to look at them. It seemed that in her world There was no one else but herself.
