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

"Help Linzi to check the taxi driver first. And the last person who contacted Shen Xiaomei. His phone has been turned off. He is the most suspicious now."

"Yes, Captain Yu."

The taxi driver was contacted very quickly. He had a name and was a taxi driver, so his contact information was quickly sent to Ye Lin's mobile phone.

Ye Lin called to confirm what Lin Xiaolei, also known as Huangmao, said. The master remembered it quite clearly because Huangmao gave him 100 yuan more.

According to the driver, Huangmao took his car to Xihe Town that day, saying that he wanted to pick up a friend.

They kept in touch to confirm their location along the way, but neither of them had a strong sense of direction, and they became a little confused as they talked.

Finally, he parked his car on the bridge over Xihe River, and then the person on the other end stopped answering the phone. Finally, Huangmao went back in a huff.

It was basically the same as what Huangmao said, but he also mentioned a detail, which was that when Huangmao was bored, he stood by the river and smoked.

Then he said he saw a box floating over and this guy just picked it up and threw it in his trunk.

It was this incident plus the 100 yuan that left a particularly deep impression on him.

"Box? Did you see what kind of box it was?" Ye Lin's heart skipped a beat.

"I didn't see it. I was sitting in the car the whole time. He asked me to open the trunk, so I did. After we got back to the city, he took it down himself. It felt quite heavy, and the tires were pressed down when he put it in."

Nima!

Ye Lin just wanted to curse someone, most likely because of the suitcase that contained Li Zhen, the yellow-haired guy.

The DNA comparison results came out, and there was no match. So Huangmao was not the murderer.

However, Ye Lin still walked in angrily, and as soon as he entered, he started asking, "Did you pick up a box?"

The yellow-haired man was still confused, and said with his neck hanging open: "Ah, yes, what's the matter? I picked it up, it's not against the law."

"Not against the law? You can't escape this time. Where are the things?"

Seeing Ye Lin's ferocious look, Huangmao felt a little panicked. After he took the things back, he threw them in the warehouse. He hasn't checked them yet. There couldn't be anything real.

"The stuff is in my utility room."

"Did you open it?"

"No...no, I wanted to pry it open when I got it back that day, but someone asked me to go out for a drink, and I was so drunk that I forgot about it. It should still be there now."

Ye Lin was also speechless. No wonder they couldn’t find it after searching for so long. After talking for so long, even the person who picked it up had forgotten it.

"Lead the way, take us to get the things." Ye Lin pulled him up.

As he walked, he instructed Wang Longxin and the others, "Call the forensic and technical department, they are probably rotten."

Huangmao was confused at first, but he immediately understood after hearing this.

So he picked up a corpse and took it back.

vomit!

Thinking about how he was dragging the corpse around and even tried to bite the padlock, the yellow-haired man knelt down and started vomiting.

In the storage room of Huangmao's house, Ye Lin finally saw the suitcase that Yu Zefa mentioned. It was scarred from all the hardships it had gone through, with marks that had not dried out and mud brought from the fields still on the outside.

An unpleasant smell has filled the utility room; it is the stench of a corpse.

Li Zhen was killed in the early morning of September 9th. Today is the 8th, and it has been 12 days. In this weather, coupled with the fact that the body was soaked in water before, it has begun to rot.

The technical department used tools to pry open the lock, and the suitcase was slowly opened, revealing the contents.

A naked female corpse had begun to partially rot, but the face could still be seen. This was the missing grocery store owner Li Zhen.

Maybe she herself didn't expect that after she was killed, she would go through such a long journey before being found.

The remaining matters were professional matters handled by the forensic and technical departments, and Ye Lin had no say in them.

He took his men to carefully search Huangmao's house again and verified that he had indeed gone out drinking that night, basically ruling out the possibility that he deliberately concealed the body.

Although he was not guilty, Huangmao would probably feel uncomfortable for a while, as he had just seen the slightly rotten corpse with his own eyes.

At the same time, the third person who contacted Shen Xiaomei received a message, with three big characters written on his name: Zhang Dongxin.

Depend on!

Isn’t this the guy holding the obedient water we caught before? I was so busy these past two days that I forgot about him and just left him at the police station. I guess his phone is out of battery, no wonder we can’t find him.

When Ye Lin brought Zhang Dongxin out, the boy was about to collapse, crying and shouting about his injustice.

"Comrade police, I didn't do anything. I just stayed for one night, but you have locked me up for two days and ignored me."

Ye Lin's face was full of embarrassment. He was so busy that he forgot about it. He pretended to cough to cover it up.

"I'm here to ask you questions now. I'm leaving you alone so that you can tell the truth. Don't take any chances. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Please ask me quickly, police officer. I will tell you everything."

Now he just wants to finish his work quickly, go home, and never meet his online friends again.

"I bought the obedient water from a fat man named Sun. I can take you there." Before Ye Lin asked any questions, Zhang Dongxin started to explain directly, but what he explained was not about Shen Xiaomei, but about the obedient water.

"Fatty Sun? Also in Yuezhou?" Ye Lin did not reveal the truth and continued to ask. He had to ask about Shen Xiaomei's matter, and also investigate the matter of this obedient Shui.

"Yes, yes, he is a specialist in this. He has been selling it for a long time. Police comrades, you will have no problem arresting him."

"Does this count as meritorious service?"

Ye Lin estimated that if everyone agreed to let him go, he would even betray his own mother.

"First, tell me how and where you did the transaction with him, and how we can contact him?"

"I can take you there, right to the door." Seeing that Ye Lin was interested, Zhang Dongxin volunteered to lead the way.

"You are so familiar with it, have you bought it many times?" Ye Lin asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Dongxin's face changed, and he hurriedly explained, "No, it's my first time, really my first time."

"This is against the law and will result in a prison sentence. If you are responsible, you'd better tell the truth. If we find out, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail."

"I really didn't. It was my first time." Zhang Dongxin insisted.

"Okay, it's your first time, right? What about Shen Xiaomei? Did you make a date with her?" Ye Lin suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's her. How did you know? But it wasn't me who asked her out, it was her who asked me out." Zhang Dongxin looked at Ye Lin in surprise.

"She's dead!"

...

Zhang Dongxin, who was about to say a few more words, was suddenly stuck. How come the conversation ended up like this?
