Chapter 85 Testing for Selection (5)

After Lu Lin ruled out the three most likely suspects in the address book, she was a little speechless about the case.

At this time, Yao Liu actually appeared. Judging from his state, he should be ready to investigate this case.

"Xiao Liu, you came here first? What's the situation here?"

"Some cards, how many have you completed?" Lu Lin didn't mention the situation of the case. After all, this is a single-player competition. Although Yao Liu helped her in the last case, but in order to abide by the rules, she still didn't say anything. good.

Of course, she also believed that what Yao Liu asked was not about the case, but about her.

"I finished the nearby one. If you have a problem here, go and see the nearby one first. It's difficult to estimate. Anyway, the rules don't require that one must be broken before going to the next one."

Lu Lin thinks Yao Liu's suggestion is very reasonable. After all, she is stuck here, and now that someone is coming, she might as well give up her position and investigate other things by herself.

Maybe we can get some inspiration from other cases.

"Alright, then I'll go first." Lu Lin greeted Yao Liu and went to the next place.

The next place is also near this Wan'an community, so it is also a place with many tenants.

Moreover, the density of houses here is very high, and the crime scene is in the middle of the two houses.

The person who reported the case was a sanitation worker in this area. There was a gap between the two houses, which was usually requisitioned by their sanitation workers, and there were some cardboard boxes they picked up.

Today, she was just about to sort out these paper shells and sell them, but when she pulled them, she saw a foot, which scared her enough and hurriedly reported it to the police.

When Lu Lin came here, the cordon had already been pulled up, and the corpses were gone, only the lines of a human figure and the autopsy report handed over by an NPC could be seen in the gaps.

The name of the deceased was Shen Xiaoman, female, 37 years old, and the cause of death was mechanical asphyxiation caused by being strangled by a rope around the neck.

The time of death was around 6:8-[-]:[-] last night.

The body was thrown into the crack of the wall after death, which means that this is not the scene of the first crime.

And Shen Xiaoman and his son Xiang Xueqiang rented the sixth floor of the left one of the two houses in the gap between the walls, so the place where they lived is very likely to be the scene of the first crime.

But now there is no one at home. According to the interviews with neighbors, I learned that Xiang Xueqiang should be at school at this time.

It is said that the third day of this year is a critical period for early rise.

Xiang Xueqiang's studies are excellent, so he transferred from a rural school to a school in M ​​City. This also shows that his parents have high expectations for him, hoping that he can enter a key high school in the city or something.

Of course, because there are old people in the family, Xiang Xueqiang's father stayed in the countryside to take care of the old people.

This is why only mother and son live here.

But even though this is a critical period for Xiang Xueqiang to learn, even if something happened to his mother, he should inform the child, after all, he is the only relative of Shen Xiaoman in the city now.

However, when I contacted the school, I found that Xiang Xueqiang did not go to school today. The teacher said that Xiang Xueqiang asked for leave today. It was his mother who sent a message to the teacher to ask for leave, saying that it was to send Xiang Xueqiang to the hospital for medical treatment.

Hearing this, Lu Lin was stunned. The time of Shen Xiaoman's death was last night, but the teacher said that he had asked for leave today, and the time was wrong.

And Xiang Xueqiang didn't go to school, nor was he at home, so where did he go?
As for the hospital you are talking about, there are so many hospitals in the city, how do you check it?

Of course, the timing of asking for leave is also very strange, so Lu Lin even felt that there was no hospital at all, and the reason why Xiang Xueqiang didn't go to school might be because he was taken away by the murderer.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin thought of the previous case of taking away the child but killing the nanny.

The only difference here is that this child is already 15 years old, and it is not as easy to brainwash him as it is for a child.

So soon she dismissed the possibility of being taken by strangers.

That leaves only acquaintances.

Another factor for determining the acquaintance is that the door lock of their house has not been damaged.

Since Xiang Xueqiang could not be found, Lu Lin asked the NPC who was in charge of unlocking the door to open the door. From the NPC's feedback, she confirmed that the lock was not damaged.

But after entering the room, the messiness of the room made Lu Lin, a non-professional gamer, see traces of fighting.

The stools that fell on the ground, the rice cooker that rolled to the corner, the bowls that were smashed...all of them did not explain what had happened in this room.

The person who could let Shen Xiaoman open the door and let her in, fought with her after entering the room, and even took Xiang Xueqiang away. What kind of person is this?

Moreover, Xiang Xueqiang is already 15 years old. If he sees someone fighting with his mother, should he help?

Then there will be a state of two fighting one, so will there be a possibility of one dying and the other disappearing?

The more Lu Lin thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she even started to have other ideas, but she felt that this idea was impossible when she first thought of it.

After all, she is a child with excellent academic performance, so she probably wouldn't kill her mother and throw her body away.

It's just that after this kind of thought comes out, even if I keep denying it, it will pop up.

Especially when there are more and more clues, this kind of thinking has even surpassed the idea of ​​having an acquaintance come.

First of all, Xiang Xueqiang is also an acquaintance to Shen Xiaoman, he is not only an acquaintance, he even has a door key.

Secondly, the table that was overturned at the scene can show that they should be eating when the incident happened.

On the dining table, there are only two sets of bowls and chopsticks besides the dishes.

In other words, Shen Xiaoman and Xiang Xueqiang were the only people eating, and no one else was there.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the two of them came while they were eating.

But the current evidence still cannot rule out Xiang Xueqiang's suspicion.

At the same time, an ID card and a bank card were found in Shen Xiaoman's bag, and precious jewelry such as gold rings were also found on her body, but no cash was found.

Although it is said that most of the payments are made by mobile phones now, and it is rare to use cash, but most people have some money on them, not like Shen Xiaoman who has no money at all.

When this happens, it is usually taken away by someone.

But just taking the money and not the jewellery, that doesn't look like a mugger would do anything.

This once again deepened Lu Lin's suspicion of Xiang Xueqiang.

Of course doubts are doubts, and everything must be based on evidence, so she still asked the neighbors if they heard or saw anything around six o'clock yesterday.
