Chapter 84: All are orphans
The dismemberment quickly made headlines in the local media, and people speculated whether it was a perverted murderer.
Anxiety and fear spread throughout Newt, and George, the deputy commissioner, struggled to cope with reporters.
Qin Lin and Wells led a group of police officers to the bank of the river where the severed hand was found and continued to search, hoping to find other body parts.
There are many tents on the riverbank, which is a gathering place for many wanderers, the environment is dirty and messy, and I don't know where the so-called philanthropists in the United States donated their money.
The homeless also said they had not found any suspicious people, and no valuable clues had been found in their dilapidated tents.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Qin Lin stopped everyone.
"So, you start investigating Cook's relationships tomorrow, and I'll go find out about Taylor's situation, and then we'll meet!"
Wells had no objections, in fact, he had long been accustomed to Qin Lin's command and arrangement, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Qin Lin asked Qiyu to leave some money for the poor homeless people before driving back home.
"It's probably a perverted murderer!You must catch him!" Qiyu said hatefully as she ate fruit after taking a shower.
"Don't make up your mind so early, maybe an acquaintance did it?" Qin Lin sat on the sofa and spat out a cigarette and muttered.
"Do you suspect that one named Taylor? On the way back just now, you said that these two are like father and son?" Qiyu pouted, very cute.
Qin Lin kissed her and said, "So what? Haven't you seen the news of your own father and son killing each other? We fathers and sons who solve the case should look at this kind of thing rationally!"
"And tomorrow we're going to find Taylor?"
"No, let's go find another person first...."The corners of Qin Lin's mouth rose.
.........
After lunch the next day, after confirming the address with Wells, Qin Lin took Qiyu to an apartment building.
The target of their inquiry is Taylor's girlfriend, Kaylin.
The grade of this apartment is not high, there is not even an elevator, and the monthly rent is quite cheap, which shows that this Kailin lives very poorly.
After knocking on the door on the fifth floor, Qin Lin took out his police station adviser ID: "Hello Miss Kailin, I want to trouble you with some questions, it's about your boyfriend...."
Young Kailin is blonde and blue-eyed, very beautiful and pure, dressed very plainly, giving people the feeling of a little girl next door, and it is estimated that she has just come of age.
After she heard Qin Lin's words, there was no wave on her face, but she didn't smile either, but she still politely invited the two into the house.
This is a single room of only 30 square meters, and there seems to be nothing valuable at home, even the quilt for drinking water looks very old.
After Qin Lin observed for a while, he asked, "When did you start falling in love with Taylor?"
Kelly took a sip of water and whispered, "Two months ago...."
"Oh, the relationship is good, right?" Qin Lin opened the notepad.
She didn't seem to be the kind of talkative person, she just nodded slightly about Qin Lin's question, and she couldn't see this person's joy, anger and sorrow from her expression.
"Do you know who Cook is?" Qin Lin looked at the photo of a middle-aged man on the table, looking at his appearance, it was estimated that it was the other party's father, this photo was taken in overalls, and there was the company's logo on his chest, called Conder Decoration Company.
After Kailin heard this, her reaction became noticeably faster, and she shook her head: "I don't know!"
"Oh.... What does your family do?" the other party's slightly abnormal appearance made Qin Lin a little interested.
Kailin lowered her head and whispered, "My father died two years ago, he was a renovation worker, I.... There are no other relatives anymore...."
Qiyu was a little heartbroken and wanted to hold the poor girl's hand, but as soon as she made contact, she was subconsciously pushed away by Kailin!
"Yes... I'm sorry. Kaylin apologized.
The work of the inquiry ended in embarrassment, this girl is obviously not the kind of cheerful and generous type, and I don't know how to work in a bar, probably to take care of the accounts or something.
"Master, is there a harvest?" In the corridor, Qiyu held his arm.
Qin Lin shook his head: "The only thing worth noting is that he is an orphan like Taylor! and I always feel that she is hiding something, but I can't say it..."
Next, they went to a renovation site, which was Taylor's place of work.
After seeing Taylor, Qin Lin didn't say hello immediately, but watched the other party's work status from a distance.
It can be said that he is very steady, no matter how you look at it, he is a good guy who is skilled and responsible for his work.
"Are you?" Taylor found Qin Lin as he was about to drink water.
Qin Lin stepped forward: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you about something yesterday, so let's check it." ”
Taylor's expression was a little defensive: "What's the problem?"
"May I ask how long you and Miss Kailin have been in love?" Qin Lin looked very gentlemanly.
But Taylor was upset, and his voice was a little louder: "How do you know her name? You went to her? What do you want to do?! She doesn't know Cook! I warn you! Don't bother her again!"
Taylor held a chainsaw in his hand and stared at Qin Lin.
Originally, she wanted to use her girlfriend as an entry point to ask more questions, but it turned out to be self-defeating.
Taylor then ignored them and went on with his work.
Qin Lin and the others had no choice but to leave in a huff.
However, Qin Lin did not finish his work, and they drove to Taylor's orphanage.
The orphanage was a kind old man who was willing to cooperate with the police after serving two cups of tea.
"Dean, can you tell us about Taylor's family situation?" Qiyu asked politely.
"Oh, of course, this kid is also pitiful, he came to us at the age of four, the reason is naturally that he has no family!" The dean knew each child's background very well, and continued: "Before he came, his only relative was his father, and his father fell and died due to an accident at work...."
"However, there is a man named Cook who is very good, it is said that he was a good friend of Taylor's father before his death, and he often buys things to see Taylor, and takes him to the playground to play, and the other children are quite envious of him!
"I like it so much, why don't you adopt it?" Qiyu asked again.
The dean sighed: "Hey, isn't it because of money? This Cook is not rich, he can't meet the standard line for adoption at all, and he doesn't know what is wrong with the world? Isn't it that being poor is not qualified to become a parent?"
Qin Lin asked at this time, "Excuse me, do you know where Taylor's father worked before his death?"
The dean thought for a while, and then said with an affirmative expression: "Well, it won't be wrong! It's a renovation company, called Conder Renovation Company!"
Qin Lin instantly remembered the identity of Kailin's father, who was also Conder's renovation worker!
