I'm a New Police Detective: Specializing in Solving Strange Cases

It is always a good thing to have new members in the group. One more person means more strength. Du Ming encouraged them.

Yu Xiaoyu immediately got to work: "The deceased, Zhang Li, had knife wounds all over her body. It was determined that it was caused by a kitchen knife, which was the main fatal injury. In addition, two bruises were found, which were caused by fist violence."

"A man was injured. Does she have a boyfriend?"

“This needs to be investigated!”

Wang Qian asked: "Brother Lin, do you think this is a revenge killing or a love killing?"

Zhang Xiaonan hit him: "Do you think Lin Yu is a god? Who dares to make a conclusion before we check it out?"

"If we want to know whether it is a murder of love or revenge, we must first find the first crime scene. As long as we find the first crime scene, it will not be difficult to solve the case!" Lin Yu explained.

Wang Qian and Xiaoyu nodded to show their agreement with Lin Yu's point of view.

In the downtown city square, in the lobby of Tenglong Nightclub, the employees had just finished the money-grabbing dance when a young man in a suit and tie asked a girl angrily, "She didn't go to work yesterday, and she didn't go to work today. I think she doesn't want to go to work anymore!"

"Mr. Liu, I'll give her another call."

The young man waved his hand and the girl immediately dialed the number, but the phone on the other end was still turned off.

The young man took the phone, looked at it, and returned it to the girl: "You are Zhang Li's best friend. Didn't she tell you where she went?"

"You used to tell me every time you went out, but you really didn't tell me this time." The girl lowered her head, and it was obvious that she was quite afraid of this young man.

The young man snapped his fingers, and a young man next to him came over to greet him.

"Go inform the finance department that Zhang Li has been absent from work for two days. Your attendance bonus will be deducted, and your performance bonus for half a month will also be deducted!"

"Yes, Mr. Liu!" The young man ran out of the hall immediately!

The young man then instructed the girl who was looking down: "Notify me immediately when Zhang Li comes back!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I will." The girl watched him walk away and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

Before Mr. Liu arrived at the office, a secretary was waiting for him. When he approached, the secretary said to him respectfully, "Mr. Liu, two police officers are waiting for you!"

"Officer, do you know anything?"

"It seems to be about Zhang Li."

Mr. Liu didn't say anything, but went in directly and saw the two police officers: "Xiao Li, why don't you make tea for the two officers?"

Lin Yu and Wang Qian stood up immediately: "You're welcome, Mr. Liu, we are here to find out about Zhang Li's situation!"

"Zhang Li? She hasn't been to work for two days!"

"It's like this. We received a report this morning that someone found a female corpse by a bridge in the suburbs. After investigation, it was confirmed to be Zhang Li." After Lin Yu finished speaking, he handed Zhang Li's photo to Mr. Liu.

"It's her, it's Zhang Li, how, how come she died?" Mr. Liu took the photo and his hands began to tremble.

"Don't be nervous. We want to know where she lives and if she has any friends."

"She lives in the company's single apartment with her best friend. Xiao Li, call Liu Juan over!"

Lin Yu was overjoyed and said to the secretary: "No need, just take us there."

Liu Juan was the girl who had just been scolded by Mr. Liu in the hall. She was currently working at the front desk in the living room.

When she saw Secretary Liu coming with two policemen, she realized that something might have happened to Zhang Li.

Lin Yu gave Liu Juan the photo of Zhang Li, and Liu Juan nodded, it was Zhang Li.

Lin Yu asked: "Do you know if she has a boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend? I don't think she's ever mentioned him. But, but."

"But what? Tell me now?"

"It was last year, when we were working as KTV waitresses together, we had to accompany the guests to drink. At that time, a man often came over and stopped her from drinking. It seemed that their relationship was not ordinary. Because he often came over to make trouble, we later both worked as receptionists."

"When was it last year? Have you been here now?"

"Last summer, she hasn't been here for a while now, so I asked her and she said it wasn't her boyfriend!"

Lin Yu turned on the recorder and recorded this information.

"We want to go to her room and take a look. Please take us there!"

Liu Juan agreed. When they arrived at the apartment, Lin Yu observed the environment and found that the apartment was quite high-end.

Although it is not a hotel-style management, it has all kinds of facilities.

There are two rooms in the apartment. Liu Juan opened the door and introduced to Lin Yu: "This is where Zhang Li lives. We share the bathroom, living room, and balcony."

Lin Yu went straight into Zhang Li's bedroom and turned on the light. He looked around first. The whole room was very clean and tidy. It was obvious that Zhang Li cleaned it frequently.

There were some photos on the bedside table. Lin Yu picked them up and looked at them. They were all photos of Zhang Li herself, and there were also photos with Liu Juan: "It seems that Zhang Li really has no boyfriend!"

There seemed to be no male belongings in the whole room. Liu Juan said: "We don't allow men to enter our room, so it has always been just the two of us living here!"

Lin Yu opened the closet again and even checked under the bed, but found nothing unusual.

He walked out of the room and went to the bathroom to observe. Liu Juan introduced: "Here are her tooth cups, toothbrushes, towels, shampoo, and handmade soap."

Lin Yu listened and nodded, then picked up the toothbrush cup to look at it, but there seemed to be nothing unusual or clues!

When they arrived at the living room, Lin Yu seemed to have discovered something and squatted on the ground. Wang Qian also bent down and looked at the floor. They found a footprint, which was very big. It was a man's shoe print!

"Didn't you say no man had ever entered your room? Then what is this?"

When Liu Juan heard this, she came over immediately and looked at the ground where Lin Yu pointed, and was dumbfounded.

"Is this, is this a footprint? It doesn't look like it's mine!"

"Of course it's not yours, because it's a man's footprint, about size 42."

At this time, Liu Juan pointed at the coffee table and TV cabinet and said, "No, someone has been here. There is a thief!"

"Why, did you find something?"

"Well, the cups and fruit knives on the coffee table have been moved, and the drawers of the TV cabinet have been opened. Look!"

Sure enough, there was a gap in the drawer of the TV cabinet and it was not closed properly.

Lin Yu opened the drawer and said to Liu Juan, "Take a look, is there anything missing?"

Liu Juan checked and shook her head: "It seems that nothing is missing, but someone has rummaged through it. I remember clearly that these were put in order, but now they are all messed up!"

"Is it a thief who steals things?"

Liu Juan shook her head, not sure!

Then Lin Yu returned to Zhang Li's room and asked, "Look carefully, is there anything missing here?"

Liu Juan frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "I don't know exactly what's missing, but I remember Zhang Li always liked to put her notebook on the bedside table, and the mobile hard drive, even when she was at work or sleeping, they were all on the bedside table.

Also, she has the habit of keeping a diary, and she always puts it by her bedside!"

"Laptop? External hard drive, and diary?" Lin Yu muttered to himself. He found where these three things were. Could they have been stolen?

Then Wang Qian took a few photos, and then Lin Yu went to check the door lock. He looked at it for a long time with the flashlight on his mobile phone, and finally asked Wang Qian to confirm it.
