Floating shadows

What do you do after killing the second one?

Ling Yuan quickly flipped through the files in his hand.

The two rich women are both around 40 years old, similar to He Junshan's wife.

Revenge again?

Ling Yuan put down the folder, took a deep breath, and said, "I request a merger."

"What?" Li Xunran didn't expect him to say that.In fact, Li Xunran also proposed the idea of ​​joining the case before, but was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, and has not studied this aspect since then.

"As a non-staff member of the criminal police team and a medical consultant, I am applying for a merged case." Ling Yuan's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.

Because of his words, the criminal police team temporarily held an emergency discussion meeting, and Ling Yuan took the stage to explain his thoughts.

Ling Yuan took a pen and listed key words on the whiteboard, writing and drawing while speaking, his thinking was clear and logical, and he talked freely, with a bit of domineering and calmness of a leader.Dean Ling used the state of the meeting in the hospital here, which is quite professional.

After the meeting, everyone admired Dean Ling a little. Sure enough, the industry elites are all top-notch wherever they go, and they have a set of methods when analyzing the case.Most people agree with his conception, but there is one point that cannot be ignored, the evidence is insufficient.Apart from the coincidence of time, there is no definite evidence to prove the identity of the murderer, so the case cannot be merged.

Ling Yuan led the worried Officer Li home.

In the car, Ling Yuan asked, "Is there a Mid-Autumn Festival holiday tomorrow?"

"……What do you think?"

"I also work overtime."

"Same sickness and sympathy for each other." Officer Li sighed.

"Let's celebrate the festival early tonight, what do you want to eat?" Ling Yuan drove the car to the vegetable market.

Li Xunran's thoughts were immediately drawn to food, and he couldn't care about He Junshan anymore.

"Let me think about it... some beef? Buy a chicken? And stewed vegetables? Or just cook a hot pot?"

"Don't buy bird flu chicken recently. Hot pot is fine."

"It's such a happy decision."

Li Xunran carried a large bag of ingredients into the back seat of the car.Most of the bag was filled with meat, except for the meat, which was meatballs, and the few handfuls of vegetables that Ling Yuan forcibly put in.Li Xunran is a carnivore, he only loves meat, like a lion.

Hot pot is interesting only when it is eaten steaming hot with the one you love. Li Xunran's wound has long since healed. He pinches the chopsticks with his slender and white fingers, skillfully pinching the meat into the pot.

Ling Yuan's stomach can't take spicy food, so he made a mandarin duck pot, half of clear soup and half of spicy, so that one person can eat comfortably.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Xunran's forehead, his face was flushed red, and his tongue was stretched out from the heat.

Ling Yuan got up and poured him a glass of milk: "This one relieves spicy food. Eat slowly, and be careful not to get angry."

Li Xunran stuck out his tongue and said: "It's just good to eat, a few bubbles in the mouth is nothing!" Enthusiasm is so high that getting angry is not worth mentioning.

Ling Yuan likes to quietly watch Li Xunran eating, eating the things he made, just watching him makes him happy.There is a lover by his side, who can cook him all the food he loves, and can share all the joys and sorrows with him. Is there anything better than this?

Li Xunran picked up a piece of mutton and put it into the clear soup for a rinse. The bright red meat slices were slightly curled. As soon as the color changed, they were taken out of the pot, soaked in the sauce with dripping soup, and then fell into Ling Yuan's bowl.

"Eat it too, mutton won't make you fat."

"..." Ling Yuan was speechless, and silently stuffed the meat into his mouth.The saltiness of the sauce and the freshness of the mutton exploded on the tip of the tongue, and the taste buds stretched out one by one, clamoring for continued enjoyment.It was really delicious. Ling Yuan, who had been eating green vegetables, couldn't hold back, and took another piece of meat.

Seeing that Ling Yuan finally started to eat meat, Li Xunran said with relief, "It's time to let go! Don't worry about weight loss and balanced meals."

Ling Yuan said: "This can't be a reason for you not to eat a single green leaf for the whole meal." Then he picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in his bowl, "I can't digest all the meat."

Li Xunran angrily snapped at the cabbage.

The phone rang.

Ling Yuan habitually took out his mobile phone to look at it, and suddenly remembered that he had turned off the phone early today in order to accompany Li Xunran.

It was Liu Xiaoling who called, and as soon as Li Xunran connected, she heard her loud voice: "Deputy team! There is a situation! There is another robbery and murder case in the villa area!"

"I'll be right over!" Li Xunran said without hesitation.

Ling Yuan could hear clearly beside him, the two looked at each other and nodded.

The hot pot on the table was still steaming white, Ling Yuan and Li Xunran had already got into the car and hurried to the scene.

The criminal police team had already arrived, and the scene was cordoned off, and Li Xunran bent down and got in.

Even if there were a group of policemen standing in the huge and beautifully decorated villa, it seemed a bit empty. Li Xunran jumped up the stairs in two steps in three steps, and stepped into the room where the incident happened.

His first reaction was shock.

All eyes are blindingly red.The rich woman's throat was cut with a knife, and blood sprayed all over the wall.shocking.

The woman fell to the ground with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and she couldn't close her eyes until she died.The gold and silver jewelry and pearl necklace on her body are all the same, still adorning the corpse in good condition.

Liu Xiaoling reported to Li Xunran: "The safe has not been touched, and no property has been lost at home. It seems that it was just a simple murder."

Ling Yuan followed slowly, and glanced around the room, but he didn't seem too shocked.He has dealt with blood too much, and this is the case for any patient with heavy bleeding, and he has become accustomed to it.

Li Xunran took the gloves and put them on, squatting next to the corpse to study carefully.The rich woman was wearing pajamas before she died. The loose top and bottom trousers had already been stained with blood so that the original color could not be seen clearly.

Li Xunran lifted the hem of her clothes, her hands in the air.

There are two blood words on the stomach:

"it's me".

Ten

Because of this temporary case, Officer Li successfully stepped into the beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival at the crime scene.

Ling Yuan also stayed up with him all night, and the emergency meeting at the police station ended at dawn the next day.Dean Ling took a rare leave of absence and fell asleep on the bed.

Li Xunran lay straight on the bed, unable to sleep, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

This is all right, finally there is conclusive evidence and the case was successfully merged, but this is not happy news.Another human life, just to demonstrate to the police.

Arrogant, rampant, lawless.

Li Xunran was so exhausted, there was a buzzing sound in his ears, but he lost sleepiness.Ling Yuan turned over and put his arms on Li Xunran's stomach.

"Don't think about it, go to sleep." Ling Yuan's lazy, sleepy voice came into his ears, half of his body was numb.

After hearing what he said, Li Xunran's drowsiness increased sharply, and he also fell into a deep sleep.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was very special. Both of them lay in bed for a whole day, did not do any discordant exercises, and just slept under the quilt.

In the evening, Li Xunran woke up from hunger, scratched his head and got up to find Ling Yuan sitting beside him holding a notebook and typing.

"What are you busy with..." Li Xunran yawned.

Ling Yuan didn't look up, and said, "There is porridge in the rice cooker in the kitchen. I'm writing an application."

"Oh..." Li Xunran put on his slippers and walked out in a daze. When he reached the door of the bedroom, he stopped and asked, "What application? Isn't the case already merged?"

"It's not an application for joining the case. It's about applying to advance He Junfeng's execution time to force He Junshan to surrender. My father asked me to write a written application to him."

Li Xunran understood immediately, brotherly love is deep, Ling Yuan wanted to play the emotional card.This move is a bit risky, but it is also a way.

After dinner, the two continued to sleep until dawn the next day.

Officer Li went to work refreshed again.

Dean Ling didn't go to the hospital for two days, and Wei Sanniu called a dozen times, but he couldn't go.Watching Li Xunran leave, Ling Yuan drove to the hospital.

In the parking lot, Mr. Tan came to see Dr. Zhao to work again. Ling Yuan stopped Zhao Qiping in the elevator.

"Deputy Director Zhao, good morning."

"Morning Dean Ling."

"Cough," Ling Yuan paused, "Just to remind you, there have been frequent burglary and homicide cases recently, you and your family should pay attention."

Zhao Qiping laughed, his bright eyes were a bit similar to Li Xunran's: "President Xie reminded me that the security guards in my house are not just for nothing."

The elevator reached the third floor, the orthopedics department arrived, and Dr. Zhao left first.Ling Yuan's dean's office is on the top floor, and it feels a little cold at a high place.

He Junshan's case was finally taken seriously by the superiors, not only approved Ling Yuan's application, but also temporarily transferred a wave of police forces from the bottom to help solve the case. Captain Qi and Deputy Captain Li were assigned an assistant.

Li Xunran greeted the person in front of him and introduced himself.

Opposite him was a thin and small man with big double eyelids and eyes that were inset on his face without any expression. He had the kind of appearance that would be drowned when he was thrown in the crowd: "Hello, Vice Captain Li, I'm from the district. , you can call me Lao Zhao."

"En." Li Xunran glanced at Captain Qi's assigned female assistant, feeling a little unbalanced.

After three months of recovery, Xie Nan was finally able to leave the hospital.Although the incisions on her body had healed, scars were still left behind. A good girl was ruined like this, and she had to live her whole life with the word "hate" on her stomach.

Ling Yuan personally came to see them off.Xie Nan's mother kept holding his hand and crying, thanking the hospital for taking care of her daughter.Xie Nan bowed his head and stood beside him with his luggage.The originally cheerful little girl has become taciturn, and there is an aura of not getting close to strangers around her.

The admission to the hospital almost used up all of their family's savings. Even though they were reimbursed by medical insurance, the remaining out-of-pocket expenses were still overwhelmed.Ling Yuan heard that they wanted Xie Nan to drop out of school and return to the countryside.Suddenly I remembered the scene when Professor Ling insisted on sending him to study after adopting him.

Ling Yuan stuffed a card into Xie Nan's mother's withered and chapped hand,
