The prefect nodded, but was a little embarrassed and helpless.

"If the daughter of a rich family is missing, we can still know if we go to investigate, but if it is a missing person in the land of fireworks, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."

"I understand, let's look for it first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work."

Shen Lian also knew very well that there were countless women coming in and out of that kind of place every day, and many of them didn't know where they came from, while some didn't know when they disappeared.

It may not be so easy to find the missing person from there.

The reason why the previous Oiran case was able to track down the last murderer was because the Oiran was already very famous, so it was easy to detect.

But if the deceased was just an inconspicuous woman there, no one would care if it was gone, or if something had happened.

Shen Lian didn't continue to dwell on it so much, let's see if it can be determined first, if not, then this case may be very difficult.

The exact circumstances will only be known after a search.

Soon they left, and there was no way to keep the corpse, so they had to bury it first.

In the face of all this, Shen Lian actually felt a little helpless.

After all, she is a modern person, and she is more accustomed to investigating and handling cases in a modern way, and various scientific methods and sophisticated instruments can provide a lot of help.

But here, she didn't need anything, she could only speculate based on the existing clues, and the difficulty increased a lot.

The only good thing is that the murderers of this era do not have so many schemes, and moreover, there will be more clues left at the scene, and the investigation can also provide deeper help.

But the case of this female corpse is a complete exception, because there is no scene at all, and it is not known when this woman was thrown into the river, which is too difficult.

If her identity can be determined, then Shen Teng's investigation can continue, but once her identity cannot be determined, then this case may become an unsolved case.

On the way back, looking at Shen Lian's melancholy look, Yin Chen also knew very well in his heart that it was not so easy to investigate, and it was indeed difficult.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take your time first, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

Shen Lian sighed helplessly, now she can only enlighten herself like this, there is no other way.

Unless the identity of the deceased could be determined, there was nothing they could do, so they went back first.

When I came to find the prefect again the next day, although the identity of the deceased was not confirmed, I got another piece of news.

The prefect explained, "When I sent someone to investigate yesterday, Mr. Wang's daughter hadn't come back for many days, saying that she had gone out to play and had secretly run out by herself, but it was not clear where she went. ”

After hearing this, Shen Lian guessed and said, "Are you suspicious that the female corpse is the daughter of Old Man Wang?" ”

"I just have this kind of speculation, but I don't know if it's specific, so I called you here and wanted to ask."

It was in vain to ask Shen Lian in this situation, after all, she didn't know Wang Yuyan, the daughter of Old Man Wang, and she couldn't be sure whether the female corpse was her or not.

If you want to know whether the person is the daughter of the old man Wang, then you can only go over and ask in person.

This old man Wang is an old woman, so he has a special love for his daughter Wang Yuyan and has developed the temper of an eldest lady.

In fact, she is also a veritable eldest lady, with money in the family, thousands of acres of land, and several large mansions.

Before going, the prefect reminded Shen Lian, and asked her to pay attention to her words after she went.

After all, Old Man Wang is very old, and he loves his daughter very much, and he must not tell the truth of the matter without certainty, otherwise, he will definitely be angry.

The prefect is at least an official, and the case says that there should be no need to be afraid of him at all, but after all, he is a rich man, and it is not good to offend him after all.

After going to the old man's house, his prefect came with two people, and he thought it was a little interesting.

"Is there something you're here for?" Without waiting for the prefect to speak, Shen Lian asked straight to the point, "Is there a red round birthmark on the back of your daughter Wang Yuyan's hand?" During the autopsy before, she noticed that there was a round dark patch on the back of the female corpse's hand, because it had been soaked in water for too long, so she didn't directly identify it as a birthmark at that time.

Hearing her talk about her daughter and knowing that she had a birthmark on her body, Mr. Wang was a little surprised.

"How do you know? Have you seen her in the past few days, hurry up and let her come back, I ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Lian, "She's dead." ”

The air froze for a while, and the prefect didn't expect Shen Lian to say it directly, without any euphemism, he carefully observed Old Man Wang, for fear that he would not be able to accept such a stimulus.

Old Man Wang looked at her in disbelief, "What did you say?" My daughter ......" Shen Lian nodded heavily, "That's right, it's true, she's dead, we came out of the river yesterday with a decomposing woman's body, and it's been more than a month since she died." ”

After hearing this, the old man Wang, who was desperate on his back, slowly affirmed the doubt in his heart.

The time is right, and the birthmark is right, I'm afraid it's true.

It's just that he still can't believe it, and he wanted to refute it, but Shen Lian's next words directly made him discouraged.

"We found that the female corpse's nails were dyed pink, so what kind of flowers must have been painted on, right? It is very long-lasting, even if it is soaked in water for a long time, it has not faded. ”

This sentence made Old Man Wang suddenly think of two months ago, Wang Yuyan was painting his nails in the yard, and he was still a little curious and went over to take a look.

Wang Yuyan said that the nails were coated with a layer of paint, and then covered with flower petals, and after a while, the color would be stained on the nails, even if you wash your hands, you don't have to be afraid, it will last for a long time.

Old Man Wang couldn't accept such a fact for a while, and passed out directly.

Just when he was about to fall to the ground, Yin Chen hurried over and helped him up.

Old Man Wang's sudden fainting was something that no one expected.

Fortunately, Yin Chen helped him in time and helped him to the mahogany chair next to him, otherwise if he fell directly to the ground like this, I am afraid that his body and bones would be severely damaged.

Yin Chen stood next to him and gently pressed his man, while the prefect on the side looked at Shen Lian with a slightly reproachful tone.

Knowing that she has some skills, she doesn't dare to blame too much, but she is still a little angry at her reckless behavior.

"You are too direct, can you be tactful when you say these words, but also take into account the old man Wang's age, after hearing such words, how can you bear it!" understood the worry in his heart, so Shen Lian didn't particularly care.

But she also has her own ideas in doing this.

"No matter how I say it, I'm afraid he can't accept such a fact, right?" Faced with such a sentence from Shen Lian, the prefect was speechless for a while, and he couldn't think of anything to refute.

Because he knew very well in his heart that this was the truth, no matter whether it was said directly or tactfully, Old Man Wang had no way to accept the fact that his daughter was no longer alive.

After a while, Old Man Wang finally recovered.

But his whole person was in a state of extreme sadness, and he looked at the few people in front of him, looking unwilling to believe it.

"My daughter is so decent, how could she die?"
