The Devil is Lurking By Your Side - Chapter 145
At about 8 o’clock in the morning the next day, Leng Yu and others arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau. One of the police officers on duty recognized Lin Xin and quickly ran to Officer Tang’s office to report to him.
“Boss, Officer Lin is here!” The little officer said breathlessly.
Officer Tang listened, walked out of the office without saying anything, and hurriedly took them to the large conference hall.
“Have you eaten breakfast?” Although Police Officer Tang asked, everyone could see that his mind was not at all about eating breakfast, it was just a polite question.
Although Leng Yu, Xiao Cheng and Huang Lin met and cooperated with him for the first time, they all saw his anxious and impatient personality, and instantly felt that this old man was also quite cute.
“Inspector Tang, we had breakfast in the hotel a long time ago. Why don’t we just enter the subject?” Lin Xin said with a smile, and then blinked at Officer Tang.
“Okay, what do you think?” Officer Tang asked eagerly.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yu spoke at this time. She said, “Why not as well as Police Officer Tang tell us your plan first?”
Facing Leng Yu, Officer Tang hesitated, but Lin Xin said: “Yes, Officer Tang, we want to hear your opinion. Then, let’s see if there is anything we need to add.”
The disappearance case occurred in Longshi, and the Federal Bureau just came here to assist, so it is necessary for Officer Tang to have the autonomy to make proper arrangements and plans.
What Leng Yu said was just to let Police Officer Tang preside over the entire meeting and arrange things, instead of ignoring his duties and authority.
Although Officer Tang did not have much experience, Leng Yu and others wanted to give him enough respect.
Officer Tang is an old river and lake, and he understands Leng Yu’s meaning naturally. So, he nodded, got up and walked to the center of the conference hall, and said loudly: “Now, I think we must act separately. We must send people to interrogate nearby residents to see what everyone thinks of the magic group. There may be more clues in their words. Second: I think the Public Security Bureau will post a missing person notice in response to the disappearance case, and I hope that the public can participate in this search operation. If you get news about Yan Shikai, then Report to the police immediately.”
When Police Officer Tang said this, he paused, and then glanced at the crowd.
At this time, Leng Yu turned to Lin Xin and others and asked, “Do you have anything to add?”
Lin Xin nodded and said, “Yes. Officer Tang, I think when we interrogate the people, it is necessary to find out besides Yan Shikai, other students who are on school holidays, or young people who have been in the magic troupe. Part-time job, because maybe they know where Yan Shikai went, or they may know what Yan Shikai said and did, so they should get more useful clues.”
“Well, what Police Officer Lin said is.” Police Officer Tang nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at Leng Yu again and asked, “So, what about Officer Leng? What advice do you have?”
Leng Yu hugged her arms and said calmly: “You found the brown stains that are suspected of blood stains last night, so I think Officer Lin and I will wait until the report is released and after confirming the blood stains belonging to people, we will find Yan Shikai’s parents. Then bring up their son’s hair or something from their home to compare the DNA with these brown stains. Later, we will do a close inspection in their home to see if we can find anything useful from their home. “
When Officer Tang heard this, his eyes brightened and he clapped his hands and said, “Okay, let’s plan like this. We scored into 3 different teams and acted according to the plan!”
In this way, they were divided into three groups:
The first batch: Interrogation of residents: Officer Tang led a team to conduct simple interrogations one by one of the residents living in the small town of Longshi. By the way, they asked if anyone had seen Yan Shikai nearby.
The second batch: Posting of missing persons notices: This team, led by Yang Cong and Xiao Cheng, posted the notices on all important areas of Longshi.
The third batch: mention DNA: led by Leng Yu and Lin Xin, they first found Yan Shikai’s home and brought up favorable things for DNA comparison and identification.
Just after the preparations were completed, Lin Xin said to everyone: “We will return to the Public Security Bureau at 7.30 in the evening. After dinner, we will discuss the findings and results?”
“Okay, let’s do it!” Everyone agreed.
Then just when everyone wanted to walk out of the conference hall, they heard a rapid knock on the door. Officer Tang opened the door with a leap, and when he saw a young police officer standing outside the door, he asked, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Yes! Boss, the laboratory got the result, saying that part of the bloodstains found in the park are human bloodstains, while the other part is animal bloodstains!”
Hey-hey! Sure enough, human blood was found, then the case is likely to be classified as a murder case, not just a disappearance case!
“Officer Leng and Officer Lin, have you heard?” Officer Tang turned his head and asked.
“Well, without further ado, let’s act now.” Lin Xin said, and then walked out of the conference hall first.
Later, Leng Yu and Lin Xin drove away from the Public Security Bureau together with Mei Hua and Huang Lin, and after turning left and right a few small paths, they drove to the door of Yan Shikai’s house.
When they looked at the closed door of their home, they frowned slightly.
“Boss, is there no one in their house?” Huang Lin asked first.
“I don’t know, let’s go take a look.” Leng Yu said. She really doesn’t know if the Yan family will not go out to work for the time being because of the disappearance of their son, or what they think about the disappearance of their son.
After all, apart from Xiaojun, none of them had a deeper understanding of Xiaokai’s family.
After the 4 people got out of the car, Lin Xin first rang the doorbell outside Yan’s house. After they waited for about a minute, they didn’t hear any movement inside.
So she pressed the button again, and then listened to the movement behind the door. This time, she heard hurried footsteps resounding in the living room.
So she nodded slowly to Leng Yu, and then the door was opened by one person.
When they raised their heads to see who opened the door, they saw a middle-aged woman standing at the door with red and swollen eyes.
“Who are you looking for?” the middle-aged woman asked, crying in her tone.
Leng Yu showed the police officer’s ID and said, “We came to you for the case of Yan Shikai’s disappearance. Why don’t you let us in first? We have something to tell you.”
The middle-aged woman looked down at the police officer’s IDs hanging on Leng Yu and others’ chests, and was convinced. She opened the door and let them walk into the house. After closing the door, she asked, “Does the police officer want something to drink?”
Leng Yu quietly looked at the house, and seeing that there was nothing special here, he said casually: “No need.”
The middle-aged woman pointed to a few sofas and chairs in the living room and said to them: “Sit as you please. My husband has gone out. There is no one else here, only me. You said it was about the disappearance of my son. What did you find when you came here?”
Lin Xin was anxious when she heard her tone, and then when she looked at the dark circles under her eyelids, she knew that she had suffered a heavy blow because of her son’s disappearance, and she hadn’t slept well in the past few days.
She thought, if they told the mother about the blood stains found in the park, she would not know how she would feel.
However, in order to identify the DNA, even if the news is heavy, they must tell her the truth.
“Mrs. Yan, let me tell you, the Long City Public Security Bureau found a brown stain that was suspected of blood in the park last night, and then found the cat’s body in a few trash cans next to the park. Then, this morning we I got a report from the laboratory that the brown stains are indeed blood stains, some of which are human blood stains, and some are animal blood stains…”
Just when Leng Yu said this, Mrs. Yan was immediately frightened. She murmured, “Human blood, human blood… What happened to my son? My son was killed. Is it? Whom does the bloodstain of those people belong to? Whom does it belong to? Is my son killed or dead?
When I talked about the later, I started to sob, and also vented the depression of the past few days. Before, she had been holding on to the hope that her son was not dead, and that the police could find him as soon as possible. However, after receiving news from Leng Yu this morning, she immediately collapsed and fell on the sofa crying, looking very sad.
Although Leng Yu and others felt unbearable when they saw her appearance, they had to tell her why they came to Yan’s house. So Lin Xin stood up, sat next to Mrs. Yan, and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Yan, we have not yet confirmed who the blood stain belongs to. It may not belong to your son. That’s why. We have found you now…”
“Why are you looking for me? Why are you looking for me? My son was killed. Why don’t you find the murderer, why are you looking for me? Uuuuu…” Mrs. Yan still cried intermittently, and then she relied on On Lin Xin’s shoulder, tears immediately wetted her clothes.
Leng Yu sighed secretly. She knew that when parents knew that their son was missing, and possibly even murdered mercilessly, the feeling of colic was understandable.
However, their work must continue. As a result, she hardened her heart and said in a deep voice: “Mrs. Yan, we must get your cooperation in order to find out, so that we can find the whereabouts of Yan Shikai. However, we have not found Yan Shikai’s body yet. And the bloodstains are not necessarily his. Therefore, you need your high degree of cooperation to let us identify the DNA in the bloodstains.”
Mrs. Yan cried for a while, then looked up at Leng Yu, choked up and asked, “What do you want from my son? What should I do to find out the whereabouts of my son?”
“We want to take a look at your son’s room.” Leng Yu said. Then, she looked around the house again and said, “I want to search your house again, hoping to get more traces of your son.”
Mrs. Yan looked at Leng Yu blankly.
After a long time, he nodded and said, “You can find it whatever you want. My son’s bedroom is the same as before he disappeared. We haven’t cleaned up or moved anything in his bedroom, and kept the original appearance before he left.”
“Okay.” Leng Yu nodded.
Then, they separated and searched inside and outside the house.
