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

"That's impossible. Didn't he go out that night? Didn't we hear the door closing?" Aunt Liu became more and more terrified as she thought about it. "It couldn't be a ghost."

"Oh my God, could it be that Feng Yingcai resented me for knocking on his door, so he turned into a ghost and closed the door? I..." The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Her eyes rolled back and she passed out.

After finding the body, Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng first put Aunt Zheng down to lie on the sofa. The old lady could no longer sit still and could only lie there and cry quietly, which made Ye Lin's heart ache.

He had just checked and saw that a part of the little finger of the headless corpse's right hand had been cut off. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the part that Aunt Liu and the others had eaten.

Today is September 9th, the third day since the incident.

In other words, the body had been here for at least three days. I had been here so many times but hadn't discovered it. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

Yu Haifeng urgently called the bureau and gathered everyone together. Now there was no need to compare anything or investigate Aunt Liu's social relations. Everything was clear.

The severed finger belongs to this corpse, and this corpse is most likely Feng Yingcai.

Of course, this still needs forensic identification.

Chief Meng is speechless now. He thought it was just a case of severed fingers, but now it has turned into a murder.

Still an unsolved case.

Because the previous finger amputation case had already spread throughout the community, and now it has become a headless case, it will definitely spread throughout the entire jurisdiction at the fastest speed.

By then, I will be under a lot of pressure, as there will definitely be many elderly people coming to complain and demand that the case be solved as soon as possible.

People from the forensic and technical departments arrived one after another. Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng helped Aunt Zheng out first. Now that was the crime scene, a comprehensive search was needed.

"A cold case, another cold case." Yu Haifeng sighed. He had just solved a cold case, so how come there is another one now?

"Yes, the last one has been arrested. Who is it this time?" Ye Lin shook his head and said.

On September 9, the third day after the incident, the severed finger case was officially upgraded to a cold case.

Forensic and technical work is still ongoing, and Yu Haifeng and his team have begun to hold the first case analysis meeting.

"Comrades, I believe you all already know the case. It was originally a search for a severed finger as a prank, but now it has turned into a murder case."

"The bureau attaches great importance to this case because it happened in a neighborhood. Compared with the previous headless case, it may have a greater impact and the people are more panicked. The bureau hopes that we can solve the case as soon as possible."

Everyone lowered their heads in silence. This was the only move made by the higher-ups. Whenever a case happened, there was a deadline to solve it, and it would have a huge impact, so they hoped everyone would work hard.

"The identity of the deceased has been confirmed. He is the owner of the house, Aunt Zheng's son Feng Yingcai. Director Meng has a clearer understanding of this person's situation. Let Director Meng tell you about it."

Yu Haifeng handed the microphone to Meng Suo.

Chief Meng was also helpless. Such a tragedy had happened in his jurisdiction and he couldn't escape. Now he just hoped the case could be solved as soon as possible.

"Dear leaders, let me give you a brief report." Meng said modestly.

"Lao Meng, we are all comrades-in-arms, so stop talking nonsense and just speak quickly." Yu Haifeng interrupted him.

"Okay, I'll talk about it first." Meng stopped talking nonsense and started directly.

"The deceased, Feng Yingcai, was 47 years old, currently single, had no children, and lived alone in Room 2, Building 403, Qinghe Community."

A photo of Feng Yingcai, a middle-aged man with decent looks, appeared on the screen where Meng was.

"Feng Yingcai is a native of Yangzhou. His parents were both factory workers in the past, and his family situation is average. He didn't get married until he was almost 30 years old. His ex-wife was from a rural area in Yangzhou, and she married him in order to get a city hukou."

"His parents bought this house for him to get married. The house price was relatively cheap at that time, and it was in an old neighborhood."

"After getting married, Feng Yingcai also found a few jobs, but he didn't stay in any of them for long. He was a typical city-waste man, lazy and greedy. He always thought he was a city dweller and was unwilling to do ordinary jobs."

"So his family's economic situation has never been very good. His wife's original goal was to get a city hukou, so after a few years of marriage, seeing that he had not achieved much, his wife decisively ran away with him."

After hearing this, everyone wrote it down in their notebooks, saying that this kind of person has unstable work and life and is most likely to get into trouble.

"Later, he wanted to get married again, but no one was interested in him. He had basically no other assets except this house, and he didn't even have a car."

"So he started chatting up random girls, or going to hair salons to look for girls. Our police station has caught him several times. He's a regular customer."

"No wonder you, Chief Meng, know him so well. Turns out you're a regular customer too." Ye Lin joked.

"Old Meng has explained it in great detail. Does anyone have any questions?" Yu Haifeng looked at everyone.

"Does Feng Yingcai have any enemies or creditors?" Qi Shan asked, raising her hand.

Meng thought for a moment, "In fact, according to Feng Yingcai's personality, he is not likely to cause trouble, so he usually just has some minor disputes with his neighbors."

"It's just like Aunt Liu next door dislikes him for not taking out the trash."

"But he has a shortcoming, which is that he likes to look for women, so he often conflicts with others."

"As for the debt issue, I don't know much about it. I haven't caught him yet."

Yu Haifeng said, "Right now, the motive for Feng Yingcai's murder is still unclear. Qi Shan, check his personal financial situation tomorrow to see if he owes any money."

"Director Meng, could you please help us understand Feng Yingcai's social situations outside, the places he often goes to, and the people he might be dating."

"Old Zhao and Xiao Wang, go check the surveillance to see if there were any special people entering or leaving the community that night."

"Then Ye Lin and I will mainly look at how to break through from the method of killing."

"Everyone, get moving."

After everyone left, Yu Haifeng handed Ye Lin a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "How is it? Any ideas?"

The two of them had just been to the scene, so there was no need to go again.

Ye Lin took a deep puff of the cigarette and shook his head. "I don't have any idea. I just think this murderer is very brave. When Aunt Liu went to knock on the door, he should still be inside. He was not scared at all and even brought a severed finger with him. His mental strength is too strong."

"Yes, that's true. He killed someone and instead of running away, he cut off his head and fingers. He is definitely a pervert among perverts. This kind of criminal is not easy to deal with." Yu Haifeng sighed.
