Li Yanmei is the first confirmed victim.
When Xu Lin, Zhang Zisheng, Yang Zhiyun, and a criminal policeman named Li Bin next to Zhang Zisheng came to each other's house, Li Yanmei's family was having lunch.
"Hello, we are from the Yuebin City Criminal Investigation Brigade, and I am the captain Zhang Zisheng." Zhang Zisheng first introduced himself.
Li Yanmei's father is a middle-aged man in his 40s who looks a bit honest and dull.
When he saw the police uniform Zhang Zisheng was wearing, his eyes immediately turned red.
The man grabbed the former's hand and asked with a choked tone: "Comrade police, have you found my Meimei? Where is she? Has... something happened... already?"
The mother is worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away, not to mention the girl who suddenly disappeared.
Li Guangmao has been in a state of despair during this period, and has not even gone to work. He calls the police every three days to ask if his daughter has been found.
His wife is similar to him.
Even Li Yanmei's brother Li Yanjin is worried about his sister every day. Two months have passed and the family seems to have lost its life.
Mother Li even shed tears every day.
Zhang Zisheng looked slightly apologetic when he saw the three people from the Li family.
He fell silent, and even did not dare to look at Li Guangmao, who was full of expectations.
Seeing this, Xu Lin said: "Hello, uncle, although this news will be difficult for you to accept, I still want to tell you that your daughter Li Yanmei... has been killed."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
To every victim's family, he wanted to use the gentlest words to tell them the bad news.
But later he figured it out. No matter what words he used, it was useless. Bad news was bad news. Once spoken, the other party would despair.
When he came outside and lit a cigarette, he took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke.
When he was inside, he had already scanned it with the eye of good and evil. This family was all good people, and the sin points of the three people were all 0.
This made him feel as if something was stuck in his heart. It was said that good people don't live long, but harm will last for thousands of years. How could it be true?
"ah!"
"Girl!"
"Woooooooo..."
"Sister..."... Hearing the cries from inside the door and the surrounding neighbors coming out to watch, Xu Lin was a little upset. After stubbing out the cigarette butt and throwing it into the trash can, he returned to the car. superior.
In any case, the case must be solved as soon as possible to give justice to the victim's family.
The murderer must pay with his life.
He began to examine the entire case in detail. The victim disappeared two months ago and was made into a wax figure two months ago. The family did not lie, so the time of her death was absolutely unreasonable.
where is the problem?
He asked a question in his mind.
It would be easier to say that the time of disappearance was pushed forward a month.
But it makes no sense that the time of death overlaps with the time when the wax figure was completed.
Is it possible...
A living wax figure?
No, no, it’s still a matter of time.
At this moment, the car door was opened, and Zhang Zisheng got into the car with a sigh.
After he, Yang Zhiyun and another criminal police officer comforted and reassured him, the excitement of the Li family calmed down. It was mainly because of the enthusiastic neighbors who helped take care of the Li family that he felt relieved.
When Xu Lin saw Zhang Zisheng, he immediately said, "May I ask, how long does it take to make a wax figure like that?"
Zhang Zisheng nodded immediately after hearing this. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number left by Master Jiang.
Soon, he got a reply.
"Master Jiang said that it would take at least half a year, or even longer, to make a wax figure like that. The coating on the outside will also take at least half a month."
When Xu Lin heard this, he frowned and nodded.
Half a year later, the time gap is even bigger.
He already knew that Li Yanmei had always been a good girl. Her family reported the case 48 hours after she disappeared. According to what the Li family said, she never stayed out at night.
But making a wax figure takes half a year or even longer. So where did Li Yanmei’s wax figure come from?
Xu Lin's eyes suddenly condensed. He took Zhang Zisheng's phone and asked Master Jiang on the phone: "Master Jiang, if it is just a head, how long will it take to complete it?"
After hearing his words, Master Jiang was obviously stunned, and then said: "If there is only one head, it can be completed in a few days."
"Okay, thank you, Master Jiang." Xu Lin was a little excited. After thanking him, he said, "Master Jiang, please come over again. You are an expert in this area. I hope you can help us."
"It is my duty." After hearing this, Master Jiang immediately replied.
Xu Lin put down his phone, threw it back into Zhang Zisheng's hand, and said, "Go back to the warehouse right away. I have a question. I need to see the bodies of those wax figures."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zisheng immediately asked Xiao Li to start the car and drive towards the warehouse.
After a while, they returned to the warehouse, and Xu Lin couldn't wait to come to the wax body marked with Li Yanmei.
After squatting down, he asked Li Shu to get a scalpel and carefully began to cut the neck of the wax figure. He cut away the wax film on the epidermis bit by bit, revealing the specially treated dry skin inside. .
He said: "Bring Li Yanmei's head over and compare it."
After Li Shu heard this, she immediately ran to pick up Li Yanmei's head, and then carefully observed the skin at the broken neck.
As he looked down from section to section, Xu Lin's brows gradually wrinkled.
Observing from the fracture position of the neck, the skin of the head and body are almost the same, but this can only be judged visually.
To know whether they belong to the same person, it still needs to be authenticated.
But identifying this thing is probably not easy. After all, after the entire body has been treated with chemicals, it is almost difficult to collect clues from it.
As for the internal organs, they had been ripped out by the murderer a long time ago, leaving only the skeleton and skin tissue. There was nothing that could be done about it.
"Wait, Li Shu, come here with the tools and let's check the bone marrow." Xu Lin raised his head and said.
Li Shu: "Team Leader Xu, we have checked it a long time ago. It is empty. The murderer... has cut off almost all the clues to his identity for us, that beast."
Xu Lin frowned again after hearing this.
He had to admit that what he met this time was indeed a master.
Taking a deep breath, there was only one direction left, and that was to check the people around Li Yanmei, hoping to find clues from the people she came into contact with.
I thought I could handle it easily, but I didn't expect...it turned out to be a challenge.
