As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

"You don't have to pay me back. Just take good care of the child and that's it."

After saying that, Ye Lin left without leaving any phone number and took Qi Shan away.

On the way, Qi Shan mustered up the courage to ask, "Captain Ye, are we not going to investigate anymore?"

Ye Lin smiled slyly, "Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't investigate, it's just that I don't have any clues for now."

Qi Shan understood, and looked at Ye Lin with more respect in her eyes.

Just after Ye Lin and the others left, a man appeared in the hospital corridor. He was wearing a hat and looked at Jin Niang at the other end of the corridor from a distance.

......

Throughout the month of May, Ye Lin was busy finishing up the case. Due to a shortage of manpower, and the data-related work had to be done, Ye Lin was so busy that he was almost annoyed.

As June approaches, the weather in Yuezhou begins to get hotter, and the summer rainfall gradually becomes more abundant, with thunderstorms occurring from time to time.

Summer is a good time for late-night snacks and also a good time for delivery riders to make money.

Lanyuan Community is not a separate community. It is divided into District 1, District 2, and District 3. It is a large residential area. Since it is an old community, the houses are generally small, the population density is quite high, and most of them are low-rise buildings without elevators.

The population composition is also very complex. There are many local residents in the city who do not have high incomes but have inherited this house from their ancestors. There are also many deliverymen, couriers, and decoration workers who rent the house. There are also some white-collar workers who work in the city. Although this place is a bit shabby, it is on the edge of the city and has convenient transportation. It is a good choice if you are on a tight budget.

It was June 6th, and Ye Lin was on night shift. The weather was sunny in the afternoon, but it suddenly started to rain heavily in the evening. It seemed as if the sky was leaking, and water was pouring down.

Ye Lin was unable to leave and could only eat something in the cafeteria and ordered a cup of milk tea.

The heavy rain lasted for a long time and was still raining at ten o'clock in the evening. From time to time, a few delivery guys rushed past the street.

There’s a saying that goes, rainy days are better suited for takeout.

In Lanyuan District 2, the gate of the community was casually open. A security guard was boredly browsing his mobile phone in the security booth. A delivery man rode his electric donkey into the community quickly in the heavy rain and stopped downstairs of Building .

He opened the box, took out a takeaway bag, and walked into the corridor without taking off his helmet.

On the third floor, he knocked heavily on the door on the left.

Boom boom boom!

"Hello, your takeaway is here." The young man shouted skillfully.

An angry voice came from the door, "Why are you knocking? Why are you knocking? Someone is going to die."

The door was opened with a whoosh, and a girl in casual clothes stood inside. She wore a pair of glasses, had a thin face, and looked a little mean.

She looked unhappy and yelled on her phone, "Why are you knocking? I didn't order any takeout. Why are you knocking so hard? I want to complain to you."

The delivery guy was wet all over, and his helmet was wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

He looked at the house number in confusion and said, "Yes, it's here."

"Look at this address, right?" The delivery guy raised the takeaway in his hand and handed it over.

"I told you I want to complain about you, did you hear me? You, a delivery man, don't understand, right? Shit, you didn't study hard, no wonder you have to deliver food." The girl didn't take the food, but still kept shouting that she wanted to complain to him.

The young man was not in a hurry. He picked up the takeaway bag and opened the takeaway with a gentle pull.

"You dare to open the takeaway privately? Well, you stinky delivery man, you dare to open the takeaway. I will file a complaint against you now, deduct your money, and block your account." The girl excitedly took out her mobile phone, ready to take a picture of the guy's illegal operation.

The delivery guy was not in a hurry and took something out of the takeaway bag with his right hand.

The girl saw a flash of white light before her eyes and felt a chill on her neck, as if something was flowing out of her neck.

She reached out and touched it; it was sticky and smelled of blood.

Bleeding!

She tried to press the bleeding wound in panic, but found that her hands had no strength at all, and the phone fell to the ground with a bang.

"This is the right meal." The young man said softly, then quietly closed the girl's door.

One minute later, a figure riding an electric donkey sped away from the community gate and disappeared in the heavy rain. No one knew what had happened.

Two days later, on June 2, the police station received a call. When they arrived at the scene, the stench was already overwhelming. In such hot and humid weather, the body decomposed quickly.

When Ye Lin arrived at the scene, many people were already busy.

"Captain Li, what's going on?" Ye Lin said to a policeman in his forties, who was Deputy Chief Li of the local police station.

"Captain Ye, you're going to have to work hard again. The deceased, Zhang Liqin, was a single woman. She had her throat slit with a knife. She's been dead for two days. The stench was wafting out of the door, and the neighbors couldn't stand it anymore, so they called the police." Chief Li gave a brief introduction.

Ye Lin listened and observed. The position of the deceased was a little strange. He pointed at the white line at the door and asked, "Did he die at the door?"

"Yes, he died at the door. It felt like he opened the door, sang, and then closed the door." Chief Li was a little speechless. He had handled so many cases, but he had never seen such a murder directly at the door.

"There's no surveillance camera in the corridor." Ye Lin looked up at the corridor.

Li Suo sighed softly, "Captain Ye, you know this area is an old neighborhood, the property fee is extremely low, just enough to pay the salaries of a few security guards, where would the money come from to install surveillance cameras?"

This is his jurisdiction, and he would certainly be happy if surveillance cameras were installed everywhere, so that if anything happened he could just turn on the surveillance camera and find out everything.

Ye Lin smiled calmly to show his understanding.

While everyone was busy, Ye Lin put on shoe covers and went into the room, which was a two-bedroom apartment.

For a single woman, it is a big house, estimated to be more than 50 square meters.

There is not much furniture, and it is very typical of local rental houses. The deceased should not have made any major changes. There are not many things in the house overall, just a small table and a small sofa.

However, the cleanliness in the living room really made Ye Lin frown. There were several piles of garbage beside the sofa and the table, including takeout, milk tea, potato chips, and drinks. Some were packed in takeout bags, and some were just thrown on the ground.

"This girl's dormitory is even dirtier than our boys' dormitory back then." Ye Lin was speechless.

"It was a bit chaotic. When we first came in, we thought we were being robbed," Li explained.

Ye Lin looked at the bathroom again. There were only one person's toiletries and no signs of a male living there.

The two bedrooms still maintain the style of the living room, but one has been used as a storage room, with a lot of boxes and crates in a disorderly manner.

The bed, floor, and clothes rack in the bedroom were filled with used clothes, which made Ye Lin shake his head. If that was the case, even a three-bedroom apartment, let alone a two-bedroom apartment, would not be enough for her to throw around so much.
