Join hands in handling cases

  What is called a helper is Lin Yuanbo looking at the corpse over there, and Xia Zhu standing quietly beside him.

  When Lin Yuan suddenly clapped his head, he still had to patiently keep silent.

  Lin Yuan's movements were very light and careful, as if he was worried about destroying the scene. He walked back and forth in the empty room with big strides, his eyebrows furrowed all the time. Xia Zhu also followed him to look at the body, this time the victim was different from before, a 46-year-old woman, her husband lived abroad for many years, and there were no signs of forced entry at the door, she lay on the kitchen floor, with a long wound cut on her chest, her face still had a smile stuck to it, looking very stiff.

  The most crucial point is that this time the murderer did not abandon the corpse.

  He left the body here, and also left here was a photo of the child.

  "If nothing had interrupted him, then it wouldn't be consistent with his behavior." Xia Zhu thought to herself as she heard Lin Yuanbo whispering.

  At this moment, she suddenly realized that sometimes, she seemed to be in sync with his thoughts for no reason.

  What's the reason for leaving this rookie behind? For the first time at a crime scene, Xia Zhu was distracted.

  "Tell me your opinion." Lin Yuanxi seemed to have finally walked out of his thoughts and asked with a rare kindness.

  She began her statement, speaking slowly as if thinking: "Firstly, the body was not abandoned, and it's clear that the killer was caught off guard. The same can be said for the undamaged photos that were left behind." She paused before continuing: "I don't understand why the killer suddenly changed his target to a woman, and after provoking the police, he didn't take any further action. If this was an impulsive crime, then there should still be no fingerprints or hair here, making it impossible to verify DNA...this doesn't match the basics of an impulsive crime..."

  She raised her head and met Lin Yuan's rather satisfied gaze, Xia Zhuo's heart slightly moved as she blinked: "Mr. Lin thinks..."

  "Not bad for the first case," said Lin Yuanxi.

  Lin Yuan said so, in a sense, it was equivalent to acknowledging. Xia Zhu thought very self-consolingly and waited for Lin Yuan to speak up.

  Unfortunately, he seemed to have no intention of speaking this time, and walked out in big strides, leaving only one sentence: "The perpetrator's behavior has escalated, it is clear that this is not a case of imitation crime, you need to find someone with more obvious characteristics, he will often look around when walking on the road, and when encountering police, he will not be nervous or hesitant, but will calmly pass by. Similarly, he is someone who can enter other people's homes at will without being suspected, so..."

  He furrowed his brow and paused in his speech, seemingly quite perplexed.

  Xia Zhu had already clapped her hands together and taken over, her eyes shining: "Uniformed personnel."

  Lin Yuan's gaze seemed to fall on him, and then he heard Xia Zhu explain seriously: "Whether it's pretending to be a community worker or a water and electricity gas bureau staff member, they can easily gain the trust of others. This is just an assumption, what does Teacher Lin think?"

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow: "Hypothetical assumptions with a basis can serve as supplementary evidence when there are no leads. Committing a crime in someone's most trusted home already reveals the suspect's extreme distrust of home." The extremely socially inept person couldn't help but analyze Xia Zhu: "Then let's proceed according to this for now."

  Having gained Lin Yuan's approval, Xia Zhu was overjoyed and even the discomfort she had just felt from seeing the corpse was completely gone.

  It was clear that Lin Yuanqie had no idea about this, he simply nodded at Xia Zhuo with his chin in a very natural manner, as if calling a little dog, and smiled: "Let's go."

  Xia Zhu blinked her eyes and hurriedly followed a few steps behind.

  Watching the two of them walk away, Zou Mu Yuan shook his head and sighed: "I think Xia Zhu can stay for a long time."

  "I think so too," said Bi Tianqi, a forensic doctor from the Major Crimes Unit, nodding vigorously beside him. "How to put it, they complement each other pretty well."

  Zou Mianyuan, the leader of the Eight Trigrams, was silent and pensive.

  The two people who had walked far away actually had an important issue to discuss——

  "You don't have to call me Mr. Lin from now on."

  "Then, let's call you teacher, I'm your assistant, should show some respect."

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow imperceptibly: "I'm only 27 years old."

  "Oh..." Xia Zhu was completely unaware of the key point and hastily introduced herself: "Uh, I'm 25 years old."

  "So just call me by name then." I don't have such old-fashioned words, Lin Yuanxiang will always be unspeakable.

  Xia Zhu was taken aback: "Lin Yuanli... senior?"

  Lin Yuanxu hesitated for a moment between "Teacher Lin", "Mr. Lin" and "Senior Lin Yuanxu", before finally saying with great pride and conciseness, "You may call me as you wish."

  The summer bamboo is shrouded in misty rain, and the person who brought up the topic has already walked away with big strides, completely unaware.

  The meaning of "random" is... still prefer the last one?

  Xia Zhuo had a slight urge to laugh inwardly, but her face remained serious as she followed: "Mm, Lin Yuanqie senior."

  Lin Yuan said calmly: "He will continue." Xia Zhu's heart skipped a beat.

  "This time the crime occurred with a significantly shorter interval than last time. If we don't take action in time, things will become increasingly out of control."

  Lin Yuanxi is a man of few words, always speaking concisely as if saying one more word would cost him his life. However, when it comes to reasoning, he becomes extremely meticulous and thorough in his explanations. Even when facing someone with no analytical foundation, he will patiently dissect his thought process, resembling a teacher with great patience.

  Such a personality can't even establish a character model, Xia Zhuang just wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered the scars under his long sleeves, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

  Lin Yuanxu waited for half a day without hearing her speak, and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her face. Even with such a simple action, his expression remained indifferent: "Daydreaming?"

  "Oh," Xia Zhu snapped back to attention: "Sorry, I've been wanting to ask, why did the murderer stick people's faces into a smiling expression."

  Lin Yuan said: "The murderer who enters the room to kill usually has extreme confidence in himself. However, the fact that this murderer chooses his targets with limitations proves that he does not have strong physical strength or motivation. It is more likely that he psychologically needs a kind of compensation, perhaps because of the shadows of the past, or perhaps because of the defects in his personality. And choosing to stick a smile on the victim's face in a uniform manner, it is clear that he needs social attention."

  Xia Zhu immediately perked up: "I'll go ask Officer Zou to request that the media temporarily refrain from releasing any information."

  "Too late," Lin Yuan opened the radio function on his mobile phone, and the latest news was a follow-up report by a provincial TV station reporter.

  He raised his eyebrows solemnly and turned off the recorder.

  Xia Zhu watched from the side, only feeling a sense of nostalgia. Lin Yuanli was still as confident and determined as when he first came to her home to analyze things, but over the years, he had lost some of his sharp edges and gained more of a calm and steady demeanor.

  "What's on your mind? Speak from the beginning." Lin Yuanxi leaned over to look at him, his hand resting on the steering wheel without moving.

  "Putting aside public perception, I think the suspect's choice of location is very telling. Now that he has chosen mostly F district, perhaps it's related to his work. Similarly, he chose a crime scene within his work area, which confirms the conflict between his confidence and weakness. If we follow Professor Lin's opinion, he is an unhappy middle-aged man with physical defects, having a not-so-decent job, very dissatisfied with life, so he keeps committing crimes one after another...” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Lastly, I think the patrol police were about to catch him, which is why his procedure wasn't completed."

  Lin Yuanxiao smiled and before he could speak, someone rushed over from outside the window: "Mr. Lin, this is the material you wanted."

  Lin Yuanjie took it over, and Xia Zhu hurriedly thanked the person. He saw Lin Yuanjie's slender fingers quickly flipping through it, and it was clear that it was a surveillance video taken from the street, with the location being outside the last household's door.

  "This is..." Xia Zhuping held her breath.

  "As you can see," Lin Yuanxiao smiled, with a rare excitement in his eyes: "We're about to catch him."

  Because of those two words "we", Xia Zhu's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look over.

  However, he met Lin Yuanxi's gaze head-on and said calmly, "Not bad, Xia Zhu."

  It has to be said, being praised by clever people feels really great, Xia Zhu thought with a smile.

  In the corner of his eye, he saw Zou Mianyuan hastily running over in this direction.

  If you have any questions about the reasoning process, feel free to point them out. I will also try to put all the clues needed for reasoning in the future.

  This is a small case that is temporarily not closely related to the main line, just to let the two people hone in for a bit, and after a few chapters, enter the first key case.
