212 Facts

“Good night.” Lian Jing turned off the bedside lamp and pulled the sweet-smelling woman into his arms. He slept soundly all night.

When the alarm clock rang the next day, Shen Yin was so tired that she could not open her eyes. She had slept rather late last night and had only slept for a few hours. It was obvious that she had not rested enough.

However, she could not be late for work just because she had worked overtime until midnight last night. She forced herself to wake up and get up from the warm and comfortable bed to wash up.

Lian Jing was already sitting at the dining table downstairs, reading the newspaper. Shen Nian sat next to him, nibbling on a piece of freshly toasted bread.

When they saw her come downstairs, they simultaneously put down what they were holding.

Shen Nian hurriedly ran towards her and looked her over carefully before he stopped worrying. “Mom, why did you work so late last night? Dad and I were very worried about you.”

Shen Yin stole a glance at Lian Jing, who was looking in their direction. She squatted down and wiped the bread crumbs from Shen Nian’s mouth. She asked curiously, “How did you know that Daddy was very worried about me?”

“Last night, Daddy insisted on waiting for you to come back before eating. But when you were still not home at 10 pm, Daddy could not sit still anymore. He paced around the room. Then he told me to go to bed while he went to look for you.”

Shen Nian vividly described last night’s scene.

Shen Yin narrowed her eyes in amusement and looked at the man who was looking uneasy after being exposed by her son.

She remembered that at 12:30 am last night, he said that he had just arrived at the police station. But he had gone to pick her up at 10 pm?

Clearly a deceitful man.

She pulled Shen Nian’s hand and sat beside him. She took her breakfast from him and her heart filled with warmth.

“Why are you smiling foolishly?” Lian Jing could not stand it anymore. He reached out and pinched her soft cheek. Then, he flicked Shen Nian’s forehead. “The chauffeur will send the two of you to work and school later. I’ll leave first.”

Shen Yin suddenly grabbed his hand and asked reluctantly, “Do you have another meeting this morning?”

“Yes, I signed many contracts the last time I went overseas. I have to arrange things properly now.” Lian Jing lowered his head and deliberately leaned close to her ear. In a low voice that only the two of them could hear, he asked, “Why? Can’t bear to part with me?”

“Of course not.” Shen Yin denied it and urged him to go about his business.

Lian Jing was supposed to set out very early today, but he wanted to see Shen Yin a little longer, so he had been sitting here waiting for her. Now the meeting was about to start and he had to leave immediately.

However, before he left, he planted a light kiss on her cheek before licking his lips and walking out of the house with a smile.

This portion of the work that Shen Yin was responsible for had been completed last night when she worked overtime. She was quite free the entire morning. However, just as she finished lunch with Zheng Ling, she received a call from Wu Zheng to go to a crime scene.

A body had been found near a residential building in Chengxi. The victim was also a woman. According to the report, the victim also had a flesh-colored female stocking tied around her neck.

The situation was urgent. Shen Yin and the police officers of Team 3 rushed to the crime scene as soon as they received the news.

This time, the crime scene was near an old building. The person who had reported it was a scavenger. The old man said that he had just eaten lunch and was about to go pick up trash when he saw the deceased in a dilapidated brick house.

Shen Yin put on her shoe covers and gloves, pulled open the police cordon, and walked in. As soon as they entered the crime scene, everyone smelled the strong smell of blood.

This time, the victim’s death was even more tragic. Her intestines had been yanked out and stuffed into her lower body. Blood was all over the ground, and a lot of mud had been poured into her gaping mouth. Her eyeballs bulged and she looked terrifying.

“F*ck, has he leveled up?” Zou Sheng could not help but lean against the wall and retch. He felt nauseous just looking at the corpse.

Compared to him, Meng Heng was relatively calm. However, his face was pale. It was obvious that he was disgusted by this severely mutilated corpse.

Wu Zheng frowned and asked the two of them to search the surrounding area to see if they could find any useful clues.

After the two of them walked away, he squatted down and looked at Shen Yin, who was doing a preliminary autopsy. He asked tentatively, “Can you confirm that it was done by the same person?”

Shen Yin frowned slightly as she carefully examined the degree of decomposition of the corpse and the open wound on the abdomen. She nodded slowly and said, “It’s also a fruit knife. We haven’t publicized this detail, so we can eliminate the possibility of a copycat crime. It was probably done by the same person.”

Wu Zheng sighed and stood up to look around the old building. He could not help but feel melancholic. “There are probably no surveillance cameras around here. It’s the same as the previous two times. It seems that the murderer knows the surveillance settings in Chengxi very well. He’s probably a local.”

“It’s also a man. He’s between 170 to 175 cm tall and is relatively thin. His right hand is his dominant hand and it is probably scratched.”

After Shen Yin finished surveying the crime scene, she compared it to the inspections of the previous two crime scenes to finally come up with some facts.

When Wu Zheng heard this, he looked at Shen Yin in shock. He could not follow her train of thought, and he asked in a bewilderment, “What? How did you come to these conclusions?”
