Talk About The Case

Chapter 40: Butter bread

The quiet conference room became enthusiastic because of the clues that everyone had finally found. It was just thinking of the murderer's cruelty and feeling a bit of chill.

Lin Xin said: "Let's see which producer this box of puzzles comes from."

Meihua turned the box over immediately, and saw the following small line in the font that read: Produced by Chengsong

Meihua said: "Sister Lin, the puzzle maker is made by Chengsong."

Lin Xin gave a "um", then took out the two puzzle pieces from the second corpse and compared the puzzle pieces found in the first piece, and said in deep thought, "If you look at the color and the surface of the puzzle, it is indeed the same as this one. The puzzles produced by the merchants are almost the same. Let’s try our luck. Let’s start with this merchant and see if we can find the same pieces as these two puzzle pieces to confirm our guess."

After listening, everyone looked for the puzzle of this merchant and found that there were eight boxes in total. Without saying anything, everyone took them apart one by one, and then slowly looked for the two puzzle pieces.

Because of some breakthroughs, everyone has forgotten fatigue, and the search speed is faster and more accurate than before.

The voice of Yang Cong in the corner shouted: "I found a piece!"

Everyone rushed to him and saw that the puzzle he found out of the box was exactly the same as the one found by the second corpse. Lin Xin glanced at Leng Yu and said, "This is the box."

Then, everyone started to put together these three thousand pieces of jigsaw puzzle.

After about an hour and a half passed, the puzzle was finally completed. It was also a landscape picture, but this time the pattern was not a city night scene pattern, but a beach at sunset. On the beach, there are families with children playing on the beach, and the legs of the two puzzle pieces are from the right leg of the boy on the pattern, and the other is from the left leg of the girl next to the boy.

Both children have smiles on their faces. However, when the two pieces of the puzzle were removed, the two children each lost a leg.

It was originally a very ordinary jigsaw pattern, but as the murder happened, it appeared strangely weird.

Kozakura stared at the puzzle and muttered: "It's terrible..."

Lin Xin slowly said: "Actually, the puzzle is not terrible. What's terrifying is the motive behind the murderer and what will happen next. We don't know how many children will be brutally attacked by this demon. But, until now, Except for this clue on the puzzle, everything else is still kept in the dark."

Leng Yu stared at the wall clock on the wall. Seeing that it was already five thirty in the morning, she said to Lin Xin, "Officer Lin, it's already morning. Everyone here hasn't had enough rest, or let them go home to sleep. Police Officer Chen Chongchen is still collecting evidence there. If anything is discovered, he will notify him."

Lin Xin saw that keeping everyone here is no way, so she nodded and said, "Well, okay, everyone will go back now. If we find anything, we will contact you by phone."

Following her words, everyone went home one after another, leaving only Leng Yu and herself in the meeting room.

Leng Yu looked around in the conference room and said: "We will put these puzzles here for the time being, and we will tell the cleaner Uncle Jian not to clean them up later. Maybe we still need to use them."

Lin Xin said: "Well, I will tell him. How about you? Don't you go back?"

After that, Lin Xin stood up and looked sideways at Leng Yu.

Leng Yu took a step forward and came to her side, and said, "It's already morning. I was supposed to go for a run at this time, but it's already past that time. Why don't we go have breakfast?"

Lin Xin asked, "Is there a breakfast shop here so early?"

Leng Yu curled her lips and said, "You come with me."

Lin Xin saw that she would definitely not be able to sleep when she went back anyway, and she was a little hungry, so she agreed, "Okay."

The weather in October had begun to cool down, and the two of them walked out side by side wearing a coat. Leng Yu took Lin Xin and turned left and right to a bakery.

Lin Xin looked up at the bakery and asked, "So there is a bakery here?"

Leng Yu stared down at her side face slightly, and smiled: "I sometimes come here to run, so I know the existence of this store."

Lin Xin said "Oh" and said, "Then I will come here for a run too. After running, I can buy some hot bread to eat."

Leng Yu didn't answer, opened the door and walked in, Lin Xin followed. As soon as she stepped into the door, Lin Xin's spirit was lifted, and the fragrant butter bread smell came over her face, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Moreover, the bakery was not colder than the outside. She felt her body warmed, and with the fragrance of the bread, Lin Xin temporarily forgot the depressed mood that she had been unable to solve the case for the past few days.

She whispered to Leng Yu, "Why didn't you tell me that there is such an exquisite bakery here?"

Leng Yu also whispered to her: "Because you didn't ask me. But... it's too late to ask now."

Lin Xinbai glanced at her and sighed, "Why do you always know more than me..."

Leng Yu said, "Because I am smarter than you."

Lin Xin pushed her gently, and scolded: "Narcissism!"

Leng Yu smiled and said, "Okay, look at all the bread there. Go and see what you like."

Lin Xin followed Leng Yu's gaze and saw the baker put out the baked bread one by one. The fragrance immediately aroused her appetite, and she walked straight in that direction.

Leng Yu had already tasted the bread here, and didn't say he really wanted to eat it at this time. She followed Lin Xin and accompanied her to buy bread.

Lin Xin rubbed her hands and said, "This is just right, the bread is so fresh."

Then, after seeing a few things she wanted to eat, and after instructing the staff there, she went to the counter and planned to pay.

After the payment, she saw that Leng Yu hadn't bought a single one, so she asked, "Why didn't you buy it?"

Leng Yu said indifferently: "I'm not hungry yet, I'll just go back and make a bowl of porridge and drink it myself."

Lin Xin looked at the bread in her paper bag, then raised her head and said to her: "There is a park there. Let's go and sit there for a while, just as you eat with me."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

The two came to the park near the police station and saw that there had been a group of old aunts who practiced Tai Chi. They chose a clean bench, and they sat next to each other.

Lin Xin took out a piece of bread from the bag, handed it to Leng Yu, and said, "Eat one? Is it true that you will see me eat it?"

Leng Yu smiled, took one from her hand, and said, "Thank you."

Then, the two people stopped talking. While eating bread, watching the old aunts play Tai Chi.

Lin Xin could see it, and suddenly said, "If I retire in the future, I would like to practice Tai Chi like them and live a more freehand life."

Leng Yu turned to look at her quietly without speaking.

Lin Xin turned her head and looked at her when she saw that the other party was not talking. She saw that her deep and pitch-black eyes were looking at her, there was no ripple in it, but she didn't feel cold when she looked at her and felt very comfortable.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong?" Lin Xin asked.

"Nothing. It's just that I was thinking, when you reach that age, I don't know if this park is still there." Leng Yu said calmly.

"If we are not there, then we can go to another seat." Lin Xin said.

Leng Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "We?"

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Yes, just us!"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence.

Leng Yu responded in a low voice, lowered his eyes and stopped talking, looking thoughtful.

Seeing this dull gourd, Lin Xin didn't know what she was thinking, so she always kept silent all of a sudden.

After the two were silent for a few minutes, she suddenly thought of the bunch of red roses, and the thought that the bunch of red roses was placed in front of Leng Yu's desk that day was a bit dazzling to herself.

She was always curious about which wild man or wild woman gave her flowers.

So, she pretended to ask casually: "Leng... Leng Yu, why did you throw away the bunch of red roses that day?"

Leng Yu heard her ask about this, looked at her slightly, and said, "Because I don't like it, so I threw it away."

Lin Xin said "Oh", then asked: "Then why don't you like it?"

Leng Yu curled her lips and asked, "Why do you care about that bouquet of roses so much? I remember you asked me more than once."

Lin Xin said: "It's nothing, I just ask casually, it doesn't matter if you don't say it."

Leng Yu saw that she was a little dull in her tone, lowered her head and smiled, then said, "Because the person who sent me is not the one I like, so I threw it away."

Lin Xin asked, "Who gave you that? Isn't it your object?"

When Leng Yu heard her say this, she remembered the truth or dare game they played two months ago. At that time, Lin Xin asked if she had a favorite, and she replied that she did.

So, Leng Yu looked into her eyes and said, "No... The people I like don't know that I like her."

Lin Xin asked in surprise: "What? He doesn't know that you like him? Then why don't you tell him? Your condition is so good. If you don't like you, you will be blind."

Leng Yu felt sour when she said this.

No matter how good you are, as long as the person in front of you can't see yourself, it's useless.

Thinking of this, Leng Yu turned around and asked, "Do you think I am excellent?"

Lin Xin nodded, stared at her face, and smiled: "It's not just excellent, it's pretty good-looking!"

A gleam of light flashed in Leng Yu's eyes, but soon disappeared. She said, "No matter how good it is, you can't get her eyes. Don't talk about me, what about you? Do you have anyone you like?"

When Lin Xin asked her, she said, "No. But that day, my mother told me to go home for a blind date."

Leng Yu felt tight when she heard her say, "Blind date? Are you going to go?"

Lin Xin said: "No. She wanted me to have a blind date with Xiaohong, who used to live near our house. Do you remember Xiaohong? It was the boy who wanted to puzzle with me before, but was scared away by you later."

Having said this, Lin Xin laughed and continued: "Do you know that? You were fierce at that time, and looked at people coldly. People who didn't know thought you were going to eat him."

When Leng Yu heard her mention this past event, she remembered that she had vaguely possessive towards Lin Xin at that time, but she didn't realize that her friendship for her had risen from friendship to a deeper level until she was in high school.

Leng Yu said cautiously: "It turned out to be him, then... Do you want to give it a try?"

Lin Xin said: "No, I don't like him either. Later my mother said, if it was me...I..."

Having said that, Lin Xin hesitated a few times and never said any more.

Leng Yu asked curiously: "What if you?"

Lin Xin paused, pretending to pack up the eaten bag of bread, then stood up and said to her, "Are you full? We will go back when we are full. I will go back to sleep for a while."

After that, he turned around and left. Leng Yu looked at her inexplicably, then stood up, and the two returned to the police station together.

Along the way, Lin Xin didn't speak anymore. She suddenly felt that Leng Yu, who was walking next to her, was like a stove. It was obvious that in such a cold weather, how could her ears become warm because of the heat.

At the same time, she thought of what her mother said to herself that day. . .

If it weren't for you to see her not pleasing to your eyes, I would have let your dad go to her house to propose a marriage.
