The residents here are very simple. They have lived here for generations and have never thought about going to big cities.

But times are changing. The next generation of children all want to move to the city, find a good job, and then buy a house. This is the process for everyone, and many people yearn for Nanjiang City and Jiashao City.

Therefore, if the houses are not demolished, it will be difficult for their children to buy houses in the city with only their current income.

As soon as Lin Yu returned to the team to work, Du Ming stood next to a new jeep and smiled at him mysteriously.

"How about it?"

"what you mean how?"

"How about this car? Isn't it handsome?"

"It's okay, did you buy a new car?" Lin Yu wondered.

Du Ming: "Haha, silly, this is for you." As he said that, he threw the car keys to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu caught it and said, "The car key is so high-end, this car must be very expensive, right?"

Du Ming told him: "You have solved a major gangster case and have made a great contribution. The leader has personally applied for a new car for you as a personal reward. You don't have to take the bus to work anymore."

Lin Yu wanted to tell him: I actually came here by running.

But he still accepted the car, believing that obedience was the best way to show respect.

Wang Qian picked up Zhang Xiaonan and Yu Xiaoyu to the team. When they saw Lin Yu's new car, their eyes lit up and they were happy for Lin Yu.

"Brother Lin, your car is much more luxurious than this one. Take us for a ride today." He pointed at Lin Yu's car, then pointed at the car he was driving.

Lin Yu made an OK gesture: "Take my car for lunch."

Just like that a week passed uneventfully.

But things were not dull in his hometown.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen got off work as usual, bought some groceries, came home, ate, watched some TV and then went to bed. Their house is not an apartment building, but on the first floor.

It was a windy day, and the door was creaking.

Lao Chen went to check it out, then plugged the noisy place with a cloth, and it became quiet.

Lao Chen habitually drinks some water before going to bed.

After the two of them lay down, the wife always felt that there was something in the next room, so she said she wanted to go and check it out. Then she shook Lao Chen and found that he had fallen asleep a long time ago.

Then she muttered to herself: Maybe it's a mouse.

In winter, mice always come out to steal scraps of paper and cloth to make nests.

Her wife didn't pay much attention to it and continued to sleep. In the middle of the night, the door was opened. In a daze, her wife saw a figure approaching their bed.

She wanted to sit up, but the other person covered her mouth with his hand. In an instant, the knife in his hand swept back and forth on her neck, and bright red color flowed out all at once.

The murderer patted the sleeping Old Chen, but there was no response, so he took the opportunity to slash Old Chen with the knife.

Then he took out the axe he had prepared long ago and chopped down on the necks of the two men.

Then the dark shadow closed the door and disappeared into the darkness. That day was the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month.

The next day, the town was still the same as usual, except that the next day was the New Year's Eve, so every household started going to the supermarket to buy things.

But why didn’t the Chen family come to buy anything? When residents passed by their house, they found the door was closed and there was no movement.

They didn't take it too seriously and continued shopping in the supermarket.

It was not until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month that his son came back to prepare for the New Year's Eve. He pushed the door open and found that it could not be opened. It turned out to be locked from the inside and bolted, so it could not be opened.

He asked his parents to open the door, but there was no response. He called the phone and his parents' cell phones, but no one answered.

He was puzzled. Did they all go out traveling?

Lin Yu's parents heard the noise and came out to ask him, "What's the matter? Can't you open the door? Can you try to call?"

Old Chen's son: "I called, but no one answered."

"Maybe he's resting in the inner room?" said a passerby.

"Old Chen never sleeps in, and it's almost noon now." Lin Yu's parents retorted.

Lin Yu's parents continued, "Why don't you go to the back door and go around my house."

The residential houses in these old streets are connected in a row. There are no roads in the backyards, only doors, so if the front door is closed, you have to go around from the next door.

Old Chen's son was very grateful and gave them some gifts in his hand: "This is the food I brought back from the city for uncle and aunt to eat."

Lin Yu's parents: "This child has grown up to be very sensible."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Old Chen's son went around to the back door of his house. This back door was a small door with only a lock and no bolt, so it could be opened with a key.

After opening it, he strode into the house: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Suddenly I saw this horrible scene in my parents' room and cried out loudly.

The residents passing by were so scared that they stopped to look. What was going on?

Lin Yu's parents heard the crying and ran to their house immediately. When they saw two headless bodies, Lin Yu's mother fainted from fright.

When the police received the report, the old director immediately notified the Municipal Bureau and the forensic doctor was on the way.

This place belongs to Jiashao City. The New Year is coming soon and Jiashao City attaches great importance to this vicious murder case.

After confirming that the two bodies were the old Chen couple, Lin Yu's father hurriedly called Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, you came back on New Year's Eve. Did your mother faint?"

Lin Yu was surprised: "Why did my mother faint for no reason? We don't have a holiday on New Year's Eve. But I have a car and can come over now."

"Your uncle Chen and his wife were killed and their heads were chopped off. Your mother passed out when she saw it."

Lin Yu was also shocked: "What? Uncle Chen and his wife were killed? When did it happen?"

"This morning, but the police said it seemed like 36 hours had passed. I think it was the night of the st day of the twelfth lunar month."

Lin Yu sighed. After comforting his father, he hung up the phone. He couldn't calm down. He couldn't believe that he was still helping them calculate the demolition compensation at their home just last week.

I was eating the pickled duck I brought back yesterday. How could this happen?

Naturally, this case was not his responsibility, and he could only get some information from the news and old classmates.

Nanjiang City was calm, but the beheading case in Jiashao City had spread to Nanjiang City.

That night, people were discussing the case and saying all kinds of things.

Lin Yu and his friends were having dinner when a discussion started at the table next to them: "Look, the internet says they might have killed someone for love."

Some people also said that someone was taking revenge on them, but the reason was very infuriating. Some people said that it might be a grudge from a previous life?

Lin Yu was eating next to him and couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed the table and said, "Who said it was a love murder?"

The table looked at him in shock: "This is what the Internet said, not what I said."

Seeing Lin Yu's angry look, they immediately paid the bill and left.

Yu Xiaoyu asked him, "What's the matter? Do you know this Chen couple?"

Wang Qian opened his phone and said, "It seems to have everything."

Lin Yu also turned on his phone, looked at it for a while, and then turned it off.

He ate in silence, and after he finished, he sighed, "He lives next door to me. He watched me grow up. I saw him last week."
