Chapter Fifteen: A Heart-to-Heart Talk
"What's wrong with me? How did you find me?" he asked. At this moment, he was fully awake and remembered what had happened last night.
"After you left, I woke up Rong Jie as you told me to. But she refused to stay in the room and wait for you, since you didn't come back, we were worried so we called the police."
"It's really shameful for a police officer to ask others to call for help!"
Linglong couldn't help but smile at Yanfeng's frustrated expression: "It's okay, anyway it was Rongjie and Gudage who found you, so you won't be laughed at by others."
"What was I like back then?"
"There's nothing, just bloodstains all over his face and arms, with a dart stuck in his neck."
"Shuriken? What kind?" Yan Feng recalled that at the time, he only saw a flash of white light from the straw man's mouth, and after his neck hurt, he fainted.
"At Old Brother's place."
"Alright, I'll go find him right away." Yanzhong jumped down from the bed but felt a wave of dizziness and Linglong hurriedly supported him.
"Rong Jie said you've been poisoned by a rare plant anesthetic and need to rest for 24 hours to recover. You can't run around now. She asked me to watch you while she goes to analyze the anesthetic!"
Ling saw a lovely little dog guarding the house, and Yan Feng wanted to argue, but a flash of light appeared in his mind, although it was fleeting, reminding him that there must be something suspicious about last night's events, he had to sort out his thoughts.
He obediently lay down and fell asleep, but actually sank into deep thought.
The first thing he did after recovering was to go back to the riverbank and take a lap, then go check out the dart that had knocked him unconscious.
The dart shape was very simple, just a sharp bamboo skewer with a few turns of hemp rope tied behind it. But he looked at it for a long time and sniffed it again and again, his eyebrows furrowed all the time.
"What did you see?" Gu Long asked.
Yan Feng shook his head and sniffed the flying dart again before putting it in the evidence box.
Because Kung had brought the police officers to look for him, the riverbank was already covered in footprints, but between him and the riverbank, there was a string of relatively clear footprints. It must have been Kung who found him later and took protective measures so that the scene wasn't destroyed. Colleagues from the forensic department had gone to collect evidence, but he knew intuitively that the person was a tall man; otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to have that physical strength.
That scarecrow has also been pulled back. From the appearance, it is completely imitating that criminal suspect, even the black thing on his face is actually a green grass medicine, but he can't see clearly at night. This situation makes some people start to speculate and guess that the scarecrow came alive and ran out to kill someone. That's why the case got stuck. Yanfeng doesn't believe this, but what kind of evil prank is this or does he want to tell him something? Since that person knows the characteristics of the criminal suspect, it proves that he is an insider.
Who is he?
Why did he say: It was her who did it! Was it really Linglong who did all of this? No. Impossible!
In his view, this case is related to the missing person case ten years ago. He had no evidence but had such a hunch that he had already sent someone to dig up Wang Lizi's missing person file records for research. If he also went missing near Er'ershan, it would prove his point. That year, Linglong was only 16 years old and was in high school without any absences, and she absolutely had nothing to do with it!
What is his purpose? Transfer of audio and video?! Why did he choose Linglong?
Many problems were entangled together, and the investigation of the crime scene and eyewitnesses had not made progress, which made him feel a little annoyed. He knew he should go to Ershan Mountain personally, but he needed some evidence to support it before taking action across provinces.
Kulon thought he was too concerned about the case, too focused on one thing, and blocked some of his thinking. He should relax a bit. This kind of case can't be solved overnight. That ten-year-old missing person case wasn't solved until now, was it?
He thought his old friend was right, but the situation didn't allow him to relax at all because within a month, two more murder cases occurred in the surrounding areas of A City. Similar to the case handled by Yanfeng, these victims were also dismembered and their heads and bodies belonged to different people. However, they were all men's heads on men's bodies, unlike the previous two cases which had male and female mismatched corpses. It seemed like a killer was playing a killing game with the police.
The nature of this case is really too heinous, and in order not to cause panic in society, the news was strictly blocked from the outside. But the pressure on Yan Feng to crack the case has increased again. He had thought that among the eight limbs, there would be at least one pair that matched, but unexpectedly, there wasn't even a single matching pair! And Ula's head hadn't appeared at all!
Moreover, the two newly appeared heads were not young and did not appear in the missing persons' file records, but the two corpses were very young!
So how many people did the murderer kill in total?
The swallow's headache wouldn't stop. He felt that this was no longer just a matter of detective work and reasoning, but a downright mind-boggling math problem.
What made him even more headache was that during this busy time, Rong Yi actually started a passionate pursuit of him. Now they meet every day for the case and she still sends him food, writes letters to him, and finally even gives him flowers!
This made him a joke in the eyes of the Panorama County detectives, their stress-reliever during intense investigations!
She not only started to ask Ling for advice on how to dress up better, but also clung to him every day, making people think she had bisexual tendencies. She was overly enthusiastic towards Ling and yearned for him three feet away. Although Rong Yi was full of energy, Yan Feng and Ling made her exhausted, so they could only make an appointment to sneak out and take a walk to relieve the tension in their hearts.
This period of time every day is the most peaceful and comfortable for Yan Feng, and even nightmares are rare.
"Shall we talk about Wura? If it's okay with you." Ling asked courageously as the two stood by the river.
"A very clichéd love story. Childhood sweethearts and first loves, we had planned to get married after graduation, but then a persistent suitor appeared by her side and mine. Maybe it was because of our youth or the distance between us, but misunderstandings arose. I remember that our last meeting ended in a quarrel. Originally, I had promised to accompany her to Erxian Mountain to help her complete her internship for herbal medicine studies, but I stood her up. As a result, I never saw her again. This was my fault; if I had gone, maybe she wouldn't have disappeared. At least I would have been with her through thick and thin, not abandoning her."
She could hear the self-reproach in Yan Feng's tone and suddenly understood his mindset all along. She wouldn't advise him, she just reached out to hold his hand, but unexpectedly he hugged her instead.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
"No." Linglong hadn't expected him to suddenly hug her, and her heart was racing as if it was going to jump out of her throat. She understood that the stronger a person is, the more fragile they are, and he was fragile at this moment, so she didn't struggle and let him hold her. However, she felt that although she was infatuated with him, his whole body was stiff.
"It's really my fault!"
"If you think tormenting yourself will make things better, then that's your mistake," Ling said; "However, I still think you're a good man who just did one wrong thing. But in any case, I'll - be with you!"
Her words made Yan Feng relax, although he still couldn't untie his own knot, but the nearly two months of getting along and the sentence just now slowly warmed his heart.
He couldn't say anything, he just held her tighter, as if she would run away the moment he loosened his grip. The two of them stood there for a while until Linglong felt herself melting when Yanfeng suddenly pushed her to the ground and shouted: "Get down, don't move!"
