Qin Ran carefully flipped through the information on the murder case of the missing person in the document.

The information in the entire folder can be roughly divided into two parts.

Part I: It's about Roque the Missing.

Ten years ago, Roque, who was only 15 years old, suddenly disappeared on his way to school.

The police invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but they did not find any trace of the other party until about three days ago.

Roque, who was supposed to be missing, or even confirmed dead, appeared after ten years of disappearance.

Not only did he appear, but he brutally murdered a taxi driver: Mente.

As for the taxi drivers who were killed, they are classified in the second part.

Mente, taxi driver, 50 years old.

He was killed in his own home.

The room was covered in Roque's fingerprints.

Gate is a kind man, a lover of reading, and has nothing of interest except that he is divorced.

Of course, this one is nothing of concern, just a record of information inside the folder.

More doubts had already appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

"Is there anything else to add to this Mr. Mente?"

Qin Ran raised his head and asked Shi Qi.

"I know what you mean!"

"A teenager who has been missing for 10 years, when he reappeared, killed a taxi driver, there must be something to do with the two!"

"Even, this taxi driver may be the kidnapper back then!"

"That's what I thought at the beginning, but ...... After our investigation, everything works fine! ”

Shi Qi shook his head helplessly.

"Everything is normal?"

Qin Ran frowned.

"Everything is normal in our eyes, so we need the help of special people like you who can see things differently!"

Shi Qi spread his hands. Generously admits his shortcomings.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go see this Mr. Mente first!"

Qin Ran stood up.

Although he wanted to reject Shi Qi, he stayed in the study and continued to read.

However, the agreement with Ni Kailei made him have to help Shi Qi, because this was the premise that he could continue to stay in the study and read.

……

Morgue.

Morgues are arranged along one side of the wall. Two dissecting tables are placed in the center of the room.

A medical examiner who had been waiting for a long time was standing nearby.

"Shiqi, the next time you work overtime late at night, please pay me an extra salary!"

As soon as Qin Ran and Shi Qi came in, the other party began to complain.

"If you can get the director's approval, I don't have any opinion!"

Shi Qi said as he walked towards the morgue on the side.

Obviously, it's not the first time Shi Qi has been here.

The forensic doctor followed quickly, one step ahead of Shi Qi, and opened the morgue.

"Hey, there's surveillance here!"

And according to the regulations. Something has to be done by me! ”

"Otherwise, my salary will be reduced quite a bit!"

The forensic doctor reminded Shi Qi, smiled at Qin Ran, and introduced himself: "Derek, it's an honor to meet Mr. 2567, your analysis of the 'Heart Picker' is really great!" If you can......"

"Alright, Derek!"

"2567 and I are here to get down to business!"

"It's not a greeting, it's not a party. Do you understand? ”

Shi Qi interrupted the medical examiner's words.

"Okay, okay!"

"The deceased Mente, 50 years old. He was stabbed to death by more than a dozen knives all over his body, and the deadliest one was a stab through the heart......"

The medical examiner recounted as he opened the body bag.

Qin Ran's gaze instantly locked on the corpse.

The other party is extremely strong.

That level of brawler is not like a taxi driver at all, but a professional wrestler.

There are extremely thick calluses on the other person's hands, both on the back of the hand and in the palm of the hand. Qin Ran could completely imagine that with the other party's body shape, such a palm could easily smash the masonry.

But it's such a party, but he was easily killed.

There was a piercing wound in the other party's chest. From the front chest to the back, the incision is smooth and neat, running directly through the heart.

It shows the sharpness of the weapon and the skill of the person who wields it.

However, Qin Ran paid more attention to the remaining knife wounds on Mente's body.

Each knife is neither deep nor shallow.

It's roughly in a way that makes Ment painful, but not fatal.

"Roque is torturing Mente!"

Qin Ran came to such a conclusion.

And on the premise of such a conclusion, if there is nothing to do with the disappearance case of Gate and Roque, Qin Ran is the first to disbelieve it.

However, there is one more doubt.

"The fight between Roque and Mente is definitely not silent, and none of the surrounding neighbors hear the sound or scream?"

Qin Ran asked.

In the previous folder's information, this was not mentioned.

"Nope!"

"I asked all the neighbors around Ment, and none of them heard screams or fights!"

Shi Qi replied in the affirmative.

"We should go to Mente's house and have a look!"

"Derek, thank you for your help!"

Qin Ran said, and after thanking the forensic doctor, he walked outside.

"This is what I should do!"

The forensic doctor smiled and waved his hand to Qin Ran.

And Shi Qi had already walked out of the morgue.

The relationship between the two is destined to not need such greetings.

……

Gate resides, 155 Ceylon Street.

It is a town where low- and middle-class families are concentrated.

They can't reach the real middle class, but they don't want to go to the slums, so they are concentrated here.

Therefore, Ceylon Street has the characteristics of both.

There is a little bit of 'chaos', but also regular patrols by the police.

All in all, it's a safe environment.

The surrounding residents are also kind.

However, it is precisely because of this that after the murder of Mente, it caused an uproar.

Along with some of the messages, people became panicked.

The police department had to increase its police presence.

From the entrance of the street to the residence where Gate was located, Qin Ran had already seen two shifts of fixed simple guard boxes and one shift of patrol police.

"We explained enough!"

"But the residents here are still uneasy, and they believe that a serial killer comparable to the 'Heart Picker' killed Ment!"

"And it shouldn't be Roque's poor kid!"

Shi Qi said helplessly.

"The inhabitants here are familiar with Roque?"

Shi Qi's tone made Qin Ran ask subconsciously.

"Hmm!"

"The disappearance of Roque at the beginning, just like the murder of Gate now, caused a sensation!"

"And now the two are combined...... I can already imagine what will appear in the newspapers lately! ”

Shi Qi nodded, and replied in a more and more helpless tone.

In fact, Qin Ran had already seen some reporters squatting around with cameras.

Among them, some even pressed the shutter on him and Shi Qi repeatedly.

"Go away!"

Shi Qi, who got out of the car, expelled these reporters in a very bad tone.

In exchange, the reporters pressed the shutter more and more.

Qin Ran shook his head.

He finally understood why Shi Qi had been a sheriff for ten years, but he couldn't get any chance of promotion.

With such a temper, it is strange to be promoted.

Listening to Shi Qi's increasingly angry yelling in the face of reporters, Qin Ran got through the cordon, pushed the door and entered Mente's home.

Coming with Shi Qi is the best pass.

No patrol officer will stop you.

And as soon as he entered the door, Qin Ran's brows furrowed.
