Chapter 192 Weird pattern!
After walking to the scene, Lin Yao saw Fan Jun and other police officers in the team standing in front of the container where the migrant workers lived.

"Group Leader Fan."

Lin Yao stepped forward and greeted Fan Jun.

"Little Lin, you're here!"

Fan Jun heard Lin Yao's voice and turned around immediately.

Several other colleagues couldn't help looking at Lin Yao in surprise.

"What's the situation now?"

Lin Yao went straight to the topic and asked him.

"Oh, that's what happened."

Fan Jun's face immediately became serious, and then he said to Lin Yao:

"The dead man inside is called Zhang Zhike, a migrant worker. He was stabbed three times, all in the chest. The time of death was around six o'clock."

"According to the deceased's co-workers, they all ordered meals, and every afternoon after get off work, a deliveryman would deliver the meals."

"But today when the delivery man went out, he found that the electric car suddenly broke down and could not deliver."

"So they discussed going to a nearby food stall to eat."

"At that time, Zhang Zhike went back to sleep in the container after get off work, and the workers told him that he would not eat tonight, so the others left."

"After they came back after eating, they found Zhang Zhike lying in a pool of blood."

Lin Yao nodded slightly after listening, and then asked:
"Has his relationship been investigated?"

"According to his co-workers, he is an introverted person, a foreigner, and he has no friends here, let alone any enemies. He works on the construction site every day."

Fan Jun frowned and shook his head.

"It seems that this case is a bit difficult to handle."

Lin Yao nodded slightly after listening.

A person with such a simple social relationship was suddenly killed.
"I'll go in and see."

Afterwards, Lin Yao raised his head and said to Fan Jun.

"Well, it's inside."

Fan Jun pointed to the container behind and said to him.

Lin Yao put on his shoe covers and gloves and walked in.

At this time, people from the Technical Squadron were taking pictures and examining the corpse.

Lin Yao looked inside.

I saw six bunks in this container, and on the ground next to one of the bunks near the door, I saw a corpse lying in a pool of blood.

After Lin Yao glanced at it, he looked around again.

He saw an empty drink bottle on the windowsill.

"Excuse me, let me borrow it."

Lin Yao walked past the police officers of the Technical Squadron and walked towards the window sill.

He picked up the empty bottle, only to see that it was a kind of fruit drink, and all the drinks in it had been drunk.

He opened the bottle cap and looked at the mouth of the bottle. Just as he was about to close the bottle cap, he suddenly saw a strange pattern printed on the inside of the bottle cap. This pattern was more like a language. The text is somewhat similar to "Mou".

Lin Yao couldn't help frowning.

This pattern is a bit unusual.
Generally, the patterns in the beverage bottle caps are some QR codes, which can be scanned to redeem prizes.

Or "thank you for your patronage", "one more bottle" and the like.

After thinking about it, Lin Yao's gaze quickly searched for the bottle, trying to find if there is any information about any prize redemption activities.

But the bottle of the beverage is only printed with some fruit patterns, without any activities.

"What's wrong? Kobayashi."

Fan Jun saw Lin Yao frowning inside, so he hurried in and asked.

"Leader Fan, take a look at this bottle cap."

After speaking, Lin Yao handed the bottle cap to Fan Jun.

"Any questions?"

"Look at this pattern."

Lin Yao pointed to the inside of the bottle cap.

"this."

After Fan Jun saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"I haven't drunk this kind of drink before. I don't know if there will be such a pattern in it."

"This pattern looks like it was printed."

After finishing speaking, Fan Jun took the beverage bottle in Lin Yao's hand and walked out:
"Has any of you ever had this drink?"

"No, this kind of drink looks like a very small crowd"

"And it looks cheaper."

The police officers outside shook their heads.

Lin Yao searched around in the container again, suddenly, he saw a woven bag in a corner inside.

He approached and opened it, and there were some garbage and beverage bottles inside, and this beverage bottle was the kind that was on the window sill just now.

"Team Leader Fan! Here!"

So Lin Yao quickly signaled to Fan Jun.

"what happened?"

"Here's a bottle of that drink."

After Lin Yao grabbed a few from inside, he opened the bottle cap.

"No pattern."

"Neither this one."

Lin Yao and Fan Jun opened all the bottles inside and found that they were all empty.

"So... this pattern is very likely to be related to the murderer?"

Fan Jun rubbed his chin, thinking,
"Could it be... this is the murderer's signature?"

I have also encountered some murderers before, who will deliberately leave their own marks at the scene of the crime.

"I called his workmate in to ask."

After speaking, Fan Jun hurriedly turned around and asked them to call in the migrant workers who lived in the container.

After a while, five honest-looking migrant workers walked in from the outside.

"Who bought this drink?"

Fan Jun held up the drink bottle and asked them.

"I bought this one."

A migrant worker immediately admitted.

"Have you noticed the pattern on this bottle cap?"

Lin Yao turned the inside of the bottle cap to him and asked him.

"Bottle cap pattern?"

The migrant worker couldn't help frowning, then shook his head and said,
"I don't have that."

"After lunch at noon today, I bought six bottles from outside and shared them with everyone. I didn't pay attention to any patterns. I didn't even notice if you didn't tell me."

Lin Yao stared at him and asked again:
"Who drank this bottle of drink on the windowsill?"

"This. I don't know. I just drank and threw mine outside."

The migrant worker shook his head and said.

Afterwards, several other migrant workers also spoke up:

"My bottle was thrown out too."

"Mine are thrown in the trash bag."

"Me too."

After hearing what they said, Lin Yao couldn't help asking:

"So, the bottle of drink on the windowsill was drunk by Zhang Zhike?"

"Well, it should be!"

A migrant worker nodded and said.

"Where did you get the drink from?"

Later, Lin Yao asked the migrant worker who bought the drink.

"It's the small shop at the entrance of the construction site. We usually buy drinks and snacks there."

The migrant worker replied immediately.

"Okay, I see, you go first, we will call you again if we need your assistance."

Lin Yao nodded and said to them.

"Okay, Comrade Police."

Several migrant workers nodded repeatedly, and then said:
"We have to go out to stay in a hotel these days, but we dare not stay here."

"Yeah, it's too dangerous. I'm afraid when I think about it now."

"Brother Zhang, he hasn't offended anyone, and he will be murdered like this."

"If I was the one lying on the bed at that time, I might have been the one who died!"

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, don't think so much before solving the case, go back and rest."

Fan Jun came up and patted their arms and sent them out.

Afterwards, he turned back, stared at Lin Yao solemnly, and said:
"The six of them bought six bottles of drinks, and only the deceased's drink had this pattern printed on it. Is this a coincidence?"

Lin Yao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said:
"The pattern on the bottle cap was printed. I don't know if the pattern was there before the deceased drank it, or it was printed after the murderer killed the deceased."

"However, I feel that there is a greater possibility of having this pattern before drinking it."

After Lin Yao finished speaking, Fan Jun immediately said:
"Then that means that whoever buys the drink with this pattern will die?"

"In other words, the murderer may have nothing to do with the deceased, and killed him only because he drank the drink with the pattern on it?"

"possible."

Lin Yao nodded.

"Then it seems that we need to investigate the supply channel of this drink."

Fan Jun thought for a while and said.

At this moment, Han Bin walked in from the outside.

"Group Leader Fan!"

"How about it?"

Fan Jun looked at him and asked.

"Just now I asked the guard at the construction site if he saw any suspicious people coming in and out around six o'clock, and he said no."

Han Bin reported immediately,

"But when I saw his eyes dodging, I felt something was wrong."

"So under my pressure, he admitted that he received a call at 05:30, saying that his wife had a sudden heart attack at home and told him to go back quickly."

"But after he went back, he found that his wife was fine at home without any problems."

"And I asked him, who knows his phone number."

"He thought about it and said that only a few friends and family members knew about it."

"The things on the construction site are also left with the phone number of the guard room, and there is no his mobile phone number."

After listening, Fan Jun frowned even deeper.

"It seems that this murderer is very capable and can arrange all the links."

Then, he raised his head again and asked Han Bin:

"Have you checked the nearby surveillance?"

"I checked, but found nothing."

Han Bin shook his head.

"I guessed it long ago."

Fan Jun was not surprised, but nodded slightly.

It would be abnormal if the murderer did everything seamlessly and left a video of him on the surveillance.

"Okay, let's close the team first, and check again tomorrow morning."

Afterwards, Fan Jun looked at Lin Yao and the two of them and said.

Immediately afterwards, he sighed:

"It is estimated that this matter has reached the ears of the leaders of the city bureau. Recently, there have been a series of homicides here, and he must have a headache."

"Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he greeted and walked out.

"Team Leader Fan, I'll come here to investigate tomorrow, mainly to investigate the issues related to beverages."

After coming out, Lin Yao said to Fan Jun.

"okay."

Fan Jun nodded,
"Find someone to go with you."

"I come!"

Cao Lin on the side listened to their conversation, immediately raised his hand and walked over.

Lin Yao turned to look at him and smiled slightly, then said:
"That's all right, Team Leader Fan, let him be with me. We had some tacit understanding before."

"Well, that's fine too."

At around seven o'clock the next morning, Lin Yao and Cao Lin met near the construction site.

"The convenience store they mentioned should be this one!"

Lin Yao stood at the intersection, pointed to a convenience store in front of the open space and said.

"Well, I checked just now, and this convenience store is the one closest to the construction site. The migrant worker said he bought it at the convenience store in front of the construction site, so he should be referring to this one."

Cao Lin nodded.

"Go, go in and have a look."

After Lin Yao finished speaking, he walked directly to the convenience store.

At this time, the convenience store owner had just opened for business and was tallying the goods.

"Hello, boss, we are from the Municipal Criminal Police Force."

Since the two of them are wearing police uniforms today, there is no need to introduce them.

So Lin Yao directly took out his ID and said to him.

Hearing the sound, the boss immediately put down the goods in his hand and turned around.

"Comrade police, hello! I heard that I saw a group post last night saying that someone died at the construction site last night. You are here to investigate this matter, right?"

The boss looked at Lin Yao and the two, and said immediately.

"Yes, that's right."

Lin Yao nodded, and then said to Cao Lin:
"You ask the boss to help you adjust the surveillance in the store to see if there are any suspicious people near the time when the deceased worker bought the drink."

"Ok."

Cao Lin agreed, and then said to the boss:

"Boss, is there surveillance in your store?"

"Yes, there is one at the door."

The boss nodded and pointed to the camera above the door.

"Okay, you can call me yesterday's monitoring."

"okay."

Lin Yao saw that the two of them were adjusting the surveillance, so he walked inside by himself.

Soon, he found the drink in the deceased's room on the shelf.

Lin Yao came out with a drink and asked the boss:

"Boss, where did you get this drink?"

"This"

After the boss heard Lin Yao's question, he immediately hesitated.

"The supplier is a commercial secret, let me tell you."

"What kind of business secret! I won't tell others, do you think I will open a convenience store to steal business from you!"

Lin Yao felt helpless after hearing his words.
"Let me tell you, this drink may be involved in this case. You must tell me the truth about the situation! Do you hear me?"

"Okay, okay."

Hearing what Lin Yao said, the boss was a little scared, so he nodded and said.

"Tell me quickly, where did this drink come from?"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yao asked him again.

"This drink was given to me by a supplier. Wait a minute, I'll give you his contact information now."

After finishing speaking, the boss took out his mobile phone and looked through the address book,

"Is there any problem with this drink? You may not know much about this drink, but it still has a certain market near the construction site."

"After all, his price is cheap, and the quantity is not small."

As he said that, the boss found a stored mobile phone number and handed it to Lin Yao.

"That's the man."
