After the on-site investigation, Lynn and Eden took the car back to the Sheriff's Bureau and went directly to the room where the bodies were stored for autopsies.
Just as he approached the door, Linn could smell an unpleasant smell.
As soon as I thought about it for a moment, my stomach immediately started to churn, and I felt a strong sense of vomiting.
"Huh..." Lin En breathed out softly, steadying his mind and suppressing his nausea.
"Is it possible?" Eden saw Linn's subtle strangeness, "Actually, there is nothing interesting to see. Nothing that can be detected can escape our eyes."
Lynn put on her mask and gloves: "Let's take a look. I don't want there to be clues in there that I didn't find, but I missed them because of my temporary withdrawal."
"Okay." Eden had seen a lot in this area, put on his mask skillfully, and led Linn inside.
The morgue is very cold.
In the adjacent room used for autopsies, the exhaust fan was always turned on, but the smell of corpses was still extremely strong.
"No one usually comes to this place. It's the most deserted place in the Sheriff's Bureau." Eden first pushed a bed on wheels, then looked at the sign on the morgue, and quickly found the first old man.
Wife, "Look at each one one by one?"
"Yeah." Linn felt that the mask was not very effective. In order not to affect efficiency, he had to slow down his breathing as much as possible.
"Come and help." Eden pulled out the morgue of the first deceased, put the body bag on the bed with Linn, and pushed it into the autopsy room next door.
After fixing the wheels, Eden looked at Lynn for final confirmation before opening the body bag: "I'm going to open it, are you ready?"
"Open it." Linn was mentally prepared.
"Stab it."
Eden opened the body bag, and the body of the first victim appeared in front of Linn's eyes.
Fortunately, it was winter, and although no treatment was done at the beginning, the degree of decomposition of the corpse was not exaggerated. At least it was still far away from forming a giant.
The only problem is that the smell of corpses has gotten worse.
Lin En didn't rush forward. Instead, he took a moment to get used to it, and then came to the body to check it out.
The face of the deceased was very peaceful.
"Did she look like this when she died?" Lin En asked.
"Probably not, the remains were sorted out later." Eden shook his head.
Linn pulled open the body bag and saw the scars on the deceased's body caused by falling from the building: "Are there any other injuries on the body besides the fall?"
"No." Eden calmly lifted the body so that Lynn could have a more comprehensive look.
"Well..." This was the first time Lin En observed the corpse in such detail and explored the truth. "We still have one question we haven't figured out yet."
"What's the problem?"
"The murderer's killing method is different every time." Lin En said, "The previous few times were understandable. For example, to deal with the old lady, it was easy to push her downstairs. To deal with the young apprentice, I used a knife and killed her with one blow. To deal with
The lady walking on the road, in order to prevent her from making any noise, pushed her into the sewer as quickly as possible. But the fourth, fifth, drowning, allergic death, all seemed too complicated, and the murderer could have used a simpler solution
method."
"Maybe the murderer didn't want to go to such trouble, but for some reasons, he had to do it." Eden had some ideas, "For example, if he fired rashly at the home of the fourth or fifth deceased, he would definitely alert the nearby people at night.
people, thereby exposing themselves.”
"A gun is just a tool of deterrence," Lynn summed up Eden's point of view.
Eden said "Yeah": "That should be it."
"Let's look at the next deceased person." Lin En studied for a few minutes, but really couldn't draw any clues from the deceased person.
"Anything gained?"
"No, I'm sorry." Linn said frankly.
"It doesn't matter." Eden didn't feel dissatisfied because of this.
He likes Linn's serious and rigorous character, who never misses any opportunity to grab clues. This is much better than the many people in the Public Security Bureau who are just doing nothing.
Not to mention, Lin En had only been involved in the investigation for half a day and had already helped him sort out the case and clarify the direction of the investigation in the future.
Next, the two spent nearly an hour pushing the bodies of the other four deceased people over for inspection.
Unfortunately, Lynn still hasn't found anything.
He focused on the fourth and fifth deceased.
The fourth person had vomited before drowning.
The fifth person who died died of allergies.
The murderer obviously put a lot of effort into them.
But this time the opponent was really strong enough, and he didn't leave any trace behind.
Based on the opponent's performance.
If we really want to actively trigger this task tomorrow, the difficulty rating should be between level three and level four.
It's a good thing to say reluctantly to Lin **.
After all, his current physical condition is suitable for using his brain more, rather than moving his muscles and bones to do things that require high-intensity consumption of physical energy.
"You should rest first. It's hard for you after running around for so long." After walking out of the morgue, Eden took off his mask, "I went to the director to ask for instructions to send more manpower, and then the troops were divided into three groups overnight to carry out the investigation."
In order to maintain energy to cope with tasks every time, Lin En has changed most of her work and rest schedule: "It doesn't matter, I usually write until dawn and then go to bed."
"No, no matter how energetic you are, I don't dare to let you do anything." Eden was afraid that something would happen to Lin En. He was here to ask for help, not to recruit coolies.
"Then I'll rest at the Public Security Bureau. I can also look at the files and other things. If there is any progress on your side, I can learn about it as soon as possible." Lin En then took off his mask and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"You are so caring. When the case is solved, I will treat you to a nice drink." Eden was very touched.
From his point of view, Lin En was purely trying to help him and save others, so he persisted in the investigation regardless of his own injuries.
Of course, Lin En had these two ideas, but more importantly, he wanted to ensure that he could complete the task with the greatest certainty.
When faced with level 3 or level 4 tasks, if you don’t take the time to prepare, and you have to officially start before you work hard, you will most likely die in the end without knowing how.
Lin En received special care from the mysterious existence, but still did not dare to be so arrogant.
"Oh no, you are injured and cannot drink. Then I will treat you to an expensive meal and express my feelings!" Eden settled Linn in his office, and then left alone to coordinate all parties.
Lin En gave a wry smile, turned on the desk lamp, and first found a notebook to list the current clues.
After writing for a while, he felt that he still smelled like corpse, so he could only take off his coat and hang it by the window...
——
January 18, early morning
Eden, who had been busy outside all night, returned to the office with dark circles under his eyes: "Have you slept, or have you not slept?"
Lynn, who was sitting at the desk, looked up at Eden: "Not sleeping yet."
"It's too hard...it's too hard..." Eden murmured and walked over.
If Linn's [Peeper's Eye] could see the [Touching Value], then he would definitely find that Eden's [Touching Value] was already off the charts.
"You must have worked hard. You haven't rested for at least a day and a night." Linn noticed that Eden's eyes were bloodshot.
"I have nothing." Eden waved his hand and sat opposite Linn. "Three groups of people have been sent out. I went over and took a look. I estimate that the report form about the suspicious target will be handed over this morning. If everything goes well,
We can catch the murderer in the afternoon. Even if it doesn't work, before 11 o'clock in the evening, we can keep an eye on the suspicious targets to prevent the murderer hidden among them from committing crimes again and expanding the negative impact."
"Well, we must ensure that no one will die tonight. Another death will not only slap the Public Security Bureau hard in the face, shake its credibility, but also double the level of panic and spread outwards." Lin En thought deeply.
It's just that the rhetoric of 'shaking credibility' was a polite way of saying it.
In the eyes of people at the bottom, the Public Security Bureau has long lost its credibility.
"Is there any new progress on your side?" Eden felt that Linn had studied it for another night and might have gained more important insights.
Lin En groaned and nodded: "I do have some ideas."
"Tell me about it."
"We mentioned three possibilities last night, the second of which is that the murderer is a psychopath with a high IQ." Lin En said, "If this is the truth, then there is a high probability that this psychopath with a high IQ is also a solitary person.
.”
Eden was a little stunned and came to his senses: "If that's the case... the people I sent out to visit people living alone have probably met the murderer?"
"The most important thing is not this," Lin En said, "but that your previous idea is actually feasible."
"Are you saying that if the murderer is not found before eleven o'clock, all the people living alone will be gathered together to protect him?"
"Yes." Linn changed his mind. "Previously, I was worried that if people living alone were gathered together, the murderer would expand his target range and cause greater harm. But if the murderer is also 'protected' by us, then we
At least it can be guaranteed that there won’t be another tragedy tonight.”
"Okay!" Eden had no objection.
"Then let's do this." Lin En yawned, "Let's all take a rest. Tonight is the tough battle. Don't make yourself depressed before then."
Eden laughed a few times: "It makes sense. To be honest, I was really sleepy."
The two stopped talking nonsense and headed to the lounge of the Public Security Bureau.
Most of the police officers on shift had gotten up, and there happened to be quite a few empty seats.
In order to ensure that Linn had a good sleep when he was injured, Eden gave him his own separate lounge, and he just found an ordinary empty bed to lie down on.
Lin En didn't shirk his kindness and went in and fell asleep.
Time flies.
When Linn woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
When he went to the common room to look for Eden, he found that Eden had disappeared. It was probably that everyone had not rested long before they got up and started working again.
Really dedicated and hardworking.
If the people in the Public Security Bureau had half the attitude he had, the security in Tswold City wouldn't be that bad, and the people at the bottom wouldn't be disappointed in the police officers.
While going to Eden's office before going out, Linn had a new idea.
Do you want to find a way to support Eden to become the director of the Sheriff's Department?
