bad man

In the police station, Lin Yan was walking while eating pancakes, flipping through the documents in his hand, and listening to the report of the thin monkey beside him.

"The body has been identified, male, probably in his early twenties, we have checked the missing persons information and compared the DNA, but there is no way to confirm the identity of the deceased.

Lin Yan frowned. It was the first murder case after seven years, and the evidence was almost destroyed. It might not be easy to solve the case.

At this time, they walked to the forensic department, where the fat man in a white coat was researching in front of the computer.

"Old Zhang, how are you?" Lin Yan greeted.

Lao Zhang is the director of the forensic department and an old friend of Lin Yan, and the two often get in and out of each other.

"It's more difficult. It's been seven years, and the bones are extremely corrupted, so it's hard to judge the identity of the deceased." Lao Zhang said with a frown.

"No way? Then there's no way to solve the case!" The thin monkey said anxiously.

"That's not necessarily the case." Lao Zhang looked calm and composed, with an old god present, "I reshaped the deceased's appearance, and it should be able to restore his appearance in life."

At this moment, a "beep" sounded on the computer screen.

"It should be done." Old Zhang said, Lin Yan and Shouhou quickly looked at the screen on the computer.

The figure is gradually revealed.

The expressions of Lao Zhang and Shou Hou became strange and complicated for a moment, and Qi Qi looked at Lin Yan.

I saw Lin Yan's pupils shrank sharply, his face turned pale, his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

how come?

It was the same face as Lin Yanyi.

Within a day, there was a lot of discussion in the police station.

"What's going on? I heard that the deceased looks exactly like Captain Lin?"

"Is it a relative of Captain Lin?"

"I don't know. You didn't see Team Lin's face at that time, and you all turned pale with fright."

"Only twin brothers can look that much alike. Do you think it's Team Lin's older brother or younger brother?"

"I've never heard that Team Lin has an older brother or younger brother."

"Yeah, I've been here for so long, and I haven't heard Team Lin mention any brothers."

At this moment, Lin Yan was sitting in the corridor outside the department, holding his knees tightly with his hands. This was a subconscious movement that he only had when he was very nervous.

After a while, Lao Zhang came out.

Lin Yan immediately stood up, with undisguised anxiety in his eyes.

"The result is out." Lao Zhang said in a deep voice, "You have to be mentally prepared."

Lin Yan's heart sank immediately.

"The DNA results show that the similarity between you is as high as 90.00%." ​​Lao Zhang said in a solemn tone, "In other words, you are twin brothers."

At this moment, the strings in Lin Yan's mind broke, and he became bewildered and fell down on the chair.

"Old Lin, I have known you for so many years, but I have never heard of any twin brothers you have." Lao Zhang's face was serious, "Did something happen?"

"Let me be quiet first." Lin Yan's voice trembled even as he spoke, and he clenched his hands tightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain his emotions.

Lao Zhang also knew that it would be better to let Lin Yan be alone at this time, so he patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, "I really can't do the case, let others take over."

"No need." Lin Yan's voice was jerky but firm, "I'll just calm down a bit. I'll handle this case myself."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Lao Zhang could only sigh and let him go.

Lin Yan sat in the corridor, thinking a lot.

He has a twin brother who disappeared 23 years ago, and he hasn't told anyone about it.

He vaguely remembered that that summer, when his mother was not at home, he pestered his younger brother to go to the amusement park together, and his younger brother agreed to his begging because he couldn't stand it.When he arrived at the amusement park, there were many people, so he took his brother's hand.Later, he wanted to play a roller coaster, so he told his younger brother to wait for him where he was and not to go away.However, when he came back, he was gone.He cried and searched the entire playground, from dawn to dark, until the playground closed, but he couldn't find it.

That was the worst thing Lin Yan did in his life, and the most regretful thing. In the days to come, he blamed himself, felt guilty, and tortured himself constantly.He tried to find his younger brother, but after so many years, there was no news at all.But he still held out hope that one day he would find it.

Now, he finally found it, but what stood in front of him was an inhuman rotting skeleton.

Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, carrying his remorse and guilt, like a hand tightly strangling his throat, and at that moment, he almost stopped breathing.

Clenching his hands tightly into fists, he will never let the murderer who killed his brother go, absolutely not!

"The neck bone of the deceased showed obvious signs of fracture. It looked like someone had twisted his neck. Who could be so cruel?" Just as everyone was discussing the case, the door was pushed open.

"Lin... Team Lin? Are you okay?" Skinny Monkey's face was a little embarrassed, and the faces of the people in the room were also a little stiff. Obviously, they all knew that the deceased was Team Lin's younger brother.They thought that Lin Yan would not be able to recover for a long time, so they would not touch this case again.

Lin Yan's face was calm, as if nothing happened, he sat down, "Continue talking."

Seeing Lin Yan like this, the thin monkey had no choice but to bite the bullet and continued, "The place where the body was found was in the woods in the south of the city, and the surrounding area was deserted. The murderer probably took a fancy to this, so he chose to kill and abandon the body there."

"Is there anything on the deceased?" Lin Yan asked slowly.

"It's been seven years, and most of the items are corroded, but we found a lighter, which may have a clue."

Lin Yan's eyes darkened as he looked at the picture that Shouhou handed over.

Changhong Street is a famous red light district in the city, and it is the site of Gu Xiao, the boss of Nancheng.After nightfall, the streets are full of lights and feasting, and it is very lively.

Changhong Bar is the property under Gu Xiao's name.It was night when Lin Yan came, the bar was full of people, and the loud music couldn't cover the restless crowd.

In the corner, a small-haired boy was selling pills. Just as he was about to take the money happily, suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Who is it?" The inch-headed boy turned his head impatiently, his face suddenly became colorful, and he smiled flatteringly, "It's Police Officer Lin."

Lin Yan grabbed him by the neck, grabbed him all the way to the bar, and pushed him against the wall in the alley.

"Ah! Officer Lin, don't use so much force!" Cun Tou shouted.

Lin Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and took out the lighter from his pocket, "You should know this, right?"

"Officer Lin, I don't know what you're talking about!"

"The pattern on this lighter is exactly the same as Changhong Bar, don't tell me you don't know what it is?"

"Officer, I really don't know! Anyway, I have given you a lot of information, so talk slowly if you have anything to say!"

"Talk slowly? How many years will you spend in prison for selling pills in public places?" Lin Yan sneered, grabbing Cun Tou's neck, "Shall we go back to the police station and talk slowly?"

"Don't!" Cun Tou's face immediately changed with fright.

"Then hurry up!" Lin Yan said impatiently.

Seeing that there was no other way, Cun Tou said, "This lighter was a Christmas Eve prize from Changhong Bar seven years ago."

"What prize?" Lin Yan didn't understand.

"Changhong Bar holds a wine competition every Christmas Eve, and the person who drinks the most will win the night's prize."

"How do you know it was seven years ago?" Lin Yan asked.

"Different logos are engraved on the prizes every year." Cun Tou said with a wry smile, "I happened to be there that year. In order to get this pure gold lighter, I almost drank so much that I was hospitalized."

Lin Yan frowned, "Do you still remember who won in the end?"

Cun Tou thought for a while, "It seems to be... ah, I remembered, it's a bartender in a bar named Jack."

"Is Jack's Chinese name Lin Ming?" Lin Yan asked urgently.

Not wanting to, Cun Tou shook his head, "No. But after Jack won that night, it seems that he gave the lighter to someone, and that is Lin Ming."

"Do you know Lin Ming?" Lin Yan asked quickly.

"It's just a few drinks back then." Cun Tou said casually, "He was also with Brother Xiao at the time, but that kid was gay. It was rumored in the gang that he was having an affair with Brother Xiao."

Lin Yan's expression turned ugly instantly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Cun Tou swore, "Back then he had a boyfriend who was a lawyer, but after hearing that they had a quarrel, Lin Ming started messing around with men and women. That's when Jack played with him."

"Lawyer boyfriend?" Lin Yan looked serious, "What's his name?"

Cun Tou shook his head, "I don't know about that, I heard that person doesn't like Lin Ming to publicize their relationship, so no one knows what that person's name is or what he looks like."

Lin Yan frowned, "Then where is Jack now?"

"He quit five years ago, who knows where he went."

Lin Yan let go of Cun Tou's hand, frowning deeply.

"Boss, I found it!" Xiao Li hurried over.

After hearing this, Lin Yan rushed to the interrogation room.

The young man has a handsome face and is dressed in a plain suit. He looks like an ordinary office worker. He doesn't look like a bartender at all. I saw him frowning impatiently, "What do you want me for?"

Lin Yan put the lighter in front of him, "Is this yours?"

Jack took a look, "Yeah, but I gave it away. Officer, it's not illegal to give something away, right?"

Lin Yan said coldly: "Is the person you gave away named Lin Ming?"

Jack looked cold, "Everyone is out to play, how can I remember so much."

"He's been dead for seven years, and his bones have just been discovered." Lin Yan stared at him, trying to see what expression he would have on his face.

Jack was indeed a little surprised, and then he looked at Lin Yan's expression, his heart suddenly changed, and his face changed suddenly: "You don't suspect that I killed him, do you?"

"He has your lighter on him." Lin Yan said blankly, "What's the relationship between you two?"

Seeing that the matter could not be kept secret, and it was such a serious matter as murder, Jack quickly said: "Officer, it really has nothing to do with me. We only slept a few times, not even friends."

Lin Yan stared at Jack firmly.

"Really." Seeing that Lin Yan didn't believe what he said, Jack said, "Okay, let's talk about it. I met Lin Ming in a bar back then. He had a fight with his boyfriend and he had no place to live. I simply took him in for two or three days, other than that, we really have no other relationship."

"Why didn't you say it when I asked you just now?" The thin monkey patted the table and said angrily.

"Officer, I've changed my mind a long time ago." Jack tugged at the suit on his body, "Look, I've stopped working in bars a long time ago, and besides, who would talk about homosexuality?"

"When was the last time you saw him?" Lin Yan asked in a deep voice.

Jack thought for a while, and said, "It's probably at the end of February. He left in a hurry that day, as if there was something urgent, and he never came back after that, nor did he come back to pick up his luggage."

Lin Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "What about his luggage?"

"Boss, here it is." Xiao Li pushed open the door and came in, holding a box.

Jack pointed to the box and said, "Hey, everything is here. I was afraid he would come back to pick it up, so I kept it in the basement."

Lin Yan opened the box, and it was full of clothes and daily necessities, as well as a few photos. In the photos, the young man had a bright smile on his face, and it could be seen that he was very happy when taking these photos.

"Have you checked with Lao Zhang?"

"Well, because the box is damp, no DNA can be collected."

Lin Yan frowned, the clue was broken again.

"However, if you want to check, you'd better check his lawyer boyfriend." Jack said suddenly.

Lin Yan's attention was attracted, "Have you seen him? What's his name?"

Not wanting to, Jack said: "I only saw him once, and it was from the back, so I don't know what that person looks like. However, he and Lin Ming had a fierce argument that day."

Lin Yan was a little disappointed, but then he asked again, "Do you know why they were arguing?"

Jack shook his head, "It seems to be because the lawyer wanted to break up with Lin Ming, and Lin Ming was entangled in every possible way. To be honest, even I was used by Lin Ming to anger his boyfriend. Lin Ming hurried out that day, as if to go I saw him. At that time, I thought they had reconciled, that’s why Lin Ming didn’t come back. But thinking about it now, maybe Lin Ming was killed by that lawyer.”

Lin Yan's heart sank.

Things were far beyond his imagination, first Gu Xiao, then a bartender, and a mysterious lawyer who never showed up, Lin Ming seemed to have inextricably complicated relationships with these people.

Lin Ming, what have you experienced all these years?

Looking at the boy with a bright smile on the photo, suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a touch of silver, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
