Chapter XXIII, Cases

"By the way, let me tell you the details of today's commission, I just forgot to say it in the store. Lin Ruoyan and Li Mu were walking well on the street, Lin Ruoyan said suddenly.

Li Mu didn't answer, Lin Ruoyan saw this, and continued to speak, "This commission is a homicide case, in the morning a passerby saw a policeman who was shot dead on a certain step, originally this kind of thing must be kept secret, but we have a cooperative relationship with the police department, so I hope we can help them investigate this matter, after all, the deceased died of a gunshot in the abdomen, guns are not common, let alone carry, even the police can't easily carry a gun, this is a clear provision of the law." โ€

"Also, when you arrive at the scene, don't take pictures, don't mess with anything at the scene, so as not to damage the scene, if you have any questions, you can ask the police at the scene, remember, we are only helpers, not solvers, if we can help the police solve this matter, in fact, it is a betrayal of their favor. The premise is that you have the ability to solve problems with those bits and pieces. Lin Ruoyan continued, the more she spoke, the more strange her tone became, and the more angry she became.

Li Mu heard that Lin Ruoyan's tone was mixed with some anger, so he asked, "That, Miss Lin Ruoyan, is there something wrong with you?" Your tone feels a little angry, did you just say that you encountered something that can make you angry?" Out of curiosity, but at the same time feeling a little embarrassed, Li Mu stammered a little and said this.

Hearing Li Mu's question, Lin Ruoyan paused first, and at the same time stopped moving forward, and it took about half a minute before she spoke, "I won't answer your question for the time being, so what do you think the profession of police means to you?"

Lin Ruoyan's question seems very simple, but at the same time, it is not simple, which makes Li Mu unable to speak, and he doesn't know how to answer, but if he insists on letting Li Mu answer, Li Mu will definitely say this, " The police are the heroes of our people, whenever they encounter a problem, they will always come to help us solve the problem, but to a certain extent, the police are just a thing that human beings call for and linger on, and how many people can really respect the police, and how many people regard the police as an ordinary person like them. โ€

In the final analysis, the word police has put too much pressure on these practitioners, so that they can't do what they want, and they can't live on the tip of the knife every day, but they can't escape reality. Lin Ruoyan began to move, walked in front of Li Mu, looked at the policemen surrounding in front of her, turned around and said to Li Mu.

Lin Ruoyan's words seem to have some special meaning, but they don't seem to have any special meaning, Li Mu seems to understand a little bit why Lin Ruoyan spoke with a trace of anger just now, maybe she has some special feelings for the police, those emotions are not ordinary friends can have, but the kind of friends who have experienced life and death together, combined with what Shanggong Yirou said before, this tavern is just a stronghold for them to gather, and their occupations are different, so Li Mu guessed that Lin Ruoyan should have been a policeman beforeใ€‚

Although Li Mu guessed it, this was just his reasoning, and it couldn't be regarded as reality at all, and Li Mu was not completely sure that Lin Ruoyan's previous profession was a policeman.

Thinking of this, Li Mu began to wonder what Shanggong Yirou and Su Wenxuan had just said to him in the store, that is to say, the clue that could really make Li Mu understand everything about Lin Ruoyan was the incident that Su Wenxuan said about Lin Ruoyan a year ago.

So far, Li Mu has not paid attention to this, they seem to have arrived at the place of the crime, and the police have set up a cordon here, but there are still a lot of passers-by around, in the final analysis, Li Mu still thinks that these onlookers belong to the kind of people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, after all, this is also the normal state of people.

Lin Ruoyan seemed to be greeting those policemen, but Li Mu didn't go over, but came directly to the policeman's body, the deceased was a woman, but why is it considered a policeman, it should be because there are many acquaintances in the police, secondly, this policeman's face still has a light makeup, it doesn't look like she is on duty today, but she received an invitation from someone at home and went to see someone, dressed so plain and casual, it should be that person invited her out in the name of asking her out to buy things, it just so happens that today is the National Dayใ€‚

It was about eight o'clock in the morning, and the deceased's hair was a little damp, but it didn't look like there was water, so it wasn't the place where the first crime occurred? There should be that although the deceased was shot three times in the abdomen, the landing points of the three shots were basically the same, and at the same time, the bullet did not splash too much blood when it entered the body, so the deceased's clothes were not dyed red too much, and there were some wrinkles on the deceased's clothes, which looked like the deceased had obviously had an argument with someone before, and the person who argued with her was obviously the person who asked her out, and he was also a murderer.

But now there are still some doubts about this case, first, where is the location of the first crime, this is a relatively barren place, there must be no such thing as a surveillance camera; second, what does the appearance of the deceased being shot mean, Li Mu has never seen a person actually shot, so it is not clear what such a wound represents; third, why did the deceased have a conflict with the murderer before, and what was the reason for the murderer to be so ruthless.

When Li Mu just wanted to get closer and observe more things, Lin Ruoyan grabbed Li Mu's ears and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you on the road, don't touch the things at the scene, and the deceased is a woman, what do you want to do?"

"Uh. Being asked by Lin Ruoyan like this, Li Mu was suddenly speechless, and he really didn't know how to answer Lin Ruoyan's question, but at this time, a greasy-looking police uncle came over, he grabbed Lin Ruoyan, and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much, he probably just wants to check the wound, and how many times have I told you, don't be so mean when you bring a newcomer, how can you bring a newcomer well?"

Hearing the words of this police uncle, Lin Ruoyan let Li Mu go, and at the same time let go of the hand that grabbed Li Mu's ears, she pointed to the police uncle beside her, and said to Li Mu, "This is Jiang Tao, the head of the Jianghai Police Department, and he is an expert in these aspects of homicide cases. โ€

"It's nothing, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Jiang Tao immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "Little brother, did you just want to check the wounds of the deceased, did you find any clues?"

Hearing the question of this "expert", Li Mu said the things he had guessed just now, and Li Muhai wanted to ask a question about the deceased, but he didn't say it for the time being.

..................ใ€‚

"Well, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but I feel like you can understand it as a young man, and it's really amazing to be able to guess so many things, it seems that Ruoyan has a good newcomer to you." Jiang Tao patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and at the same time looked at Lin Ruoyan and said with a smile.

Lin Ruoyan heard that Li Mu had been praised by this "expert" who never praised people easily, and a smile appeared on his face, but at the same time, he said a little angrily, "Isn't this something he should do?"

When Li Mu heard this, his face darkened in an instant, and he couldn't say a lot of bitterness in his heart, okay if you don't "look down" on people like this, besides, you were obviously laughing just now, why did you give me this again, alas, the girl is really a complex creature.

"No, no, no, you have to give some encouragement to the newcomer, I remember you weren't a newcomer who was just as reckless as him before? Jiang Tao continued to laugh.

Hearing Jiang Tao say this, Lin Ruoyan said reluctantly, "Your reasoning is very useful, but it may be difficult for these things to completely solve this incident, but let me give you another hint, sometimes you can't explain too many things when you see them, and there are some things that are inconspicuous but the key to solving things, so come on." After Lin Ruoyan finished speaking, she stepped aside, and so did Jiang Tao.

Suddenly, only Li Mu was left alone, continuing to observe the corpse of the deceased and digest what Lin Ruoyan said just now.

"Hey, Ruoyan, you are too demanding of him, a child who is only less than eighteen years old can deduce that those things just now are already very powerful, but you don't praise him at all, I know you are afraid of his pride, but appropriate praise can help him go to the next level, isn't this also what your predecessors gave you when you were a newcomer? At the same time, there are some worries.

Lin Ruoyan did not answer Jiang Tao's question, but continued to walk to the front, looked at the sea not far away, squatted down, supported her chin with both hands, and her eyes were full of discomfort and heartbreak.
