Chapter 105: 105

Xu Xiaodong confessed, "Just then in the store, I saw that he gave you a necklace . ”

Lin Dongxue was very embarrassed . "He doesn't mean anything when he gives me something . "

"I understand you . You rarely owe things to others . You usually use the AA system where you pay for your own portion when you go out to eat and you wouldn’t take the flowers I gave you . However, you’re willing to accept his gifts . ”

Lin Dongxue blushed to the tips of her ears . "Don’t talk nonsense . "

"What nonsense do you mean? The nonsense where you like Brother Chen?”

"You’re still on about that?" Lin Dongxue hit Xu Xiaodong with a light punch .

"Okay, okay! Confidential! It’s confidential! I won’t tell anyone . "

"I should go home . Be careful on the road . "

"Alright!"

Looking at Lin Dongxue's silhouette disappearing into the community, Xu Xiaodong felt a bit at a loss . He remembered the first time he saw Lin Dongxue at the police academy . She was wearing a police uniform and stood in the team . Her eyes were keen and she stood tall . She exuded soft and gentle light like a goddess . She was the object of affection across almost all the students who lived in the academy .  

Later, when they were assigned to a team together, Xu Xiaodong was very happy and began to go on the offense to pursue her . He thought of various ways to please her, but he was repeatedly rejected .  

Besides the sense of loss, he also felt a bit of relief . This war of unrequited love had a peaceful finish . He didn’t need to hold onto it from now on .  

"Friends are good too . Friends are also good . " He muttered to himself repeatedly and started the car .

Although he slept very late, Chen Shi still got up very early . He cooked breakfast and called Tao Yueyue to wake up and eat . The breakfast was just a simple egg and ham sandwich with milk, but Tao Yueyue had no appetite . She often grumbled that she was tired of eating the dishes Chen Shi made recently .  

After eating, Tao Yueyue stood up . "I’m going back to my room to study . "

"You are very motivated . You didn't play games last night?"

"Who wants to play that kind of boring thing? I have so much homework to do . How else am I going to make up for the time I lost?”

"That makes me relieved . "

"I don't like to study, but I just don't want to be a bad student . The worst students academically are the most discriminated people in each class . " These words were spoken in a childish manner, making Chen Shi want to laugh .  

He took out his wallet and put two hundred yuan on the table . "Here’s your pocket money . If you go out with friends on weekends, you should have a little money on you . "

Tao Yueyue took the money, "Thank you . . . But I have no friends . "

"You can make friends . "

"Everyone is all very naïve . They’re still watching cartoons even though they’re so old now . Otherwise, they’re playing games . ”

"Don’t you think that you’ll be isolated if you think like that? You need to learn to integrate with the crowd . I was also very smart when I was young, but I pretended to be very ordinary . ”

Tao Yueyue pulled a face again . "I don't believe it!"

Chen Shi’s cell phone rang and he found that Lin Dongxue was calling him . She reported, “The woman yesterday died in her own home last night . I just received the report this morning since her neighbors smelled blood . ”

"Tell me the address; I will come right away . "

Tao Yueyue was eavesdropping . After Chen Shi hung up the phone, she asked, "Why is there always a murder case?"

"Now you know how dangerous the world is! Be a good girl and stay at home . If you’re hungry at noon, you can call for takeout . I’ll come back at night . ”

"Buy me a kitten . I’m bored at home all by my lonesome . "

"As long as you are within the top 30 at the end of year exams, I’ll buy one for you . "

Tao Yueyue muttered with disdain, "The trick of adults!"

"If you give me money, I would listen to you . Rights and obligations are equal . Do you understand?”

At ten o'clock, Chen Shi rushed to the scene of the crime . Peng Sijue was telling people to take samples from the scene . Lin Dongxue and Xu Xiaodong were also there . The room was messy, like a dispute had happened there . There was a woman lying on the living room floor face down . The blood that was all over the place had coagulated .  

Chen Shi put on the rubber gloves that Lin Dongxue had handed over . "It shouldn’t be due to retaliation, right?"

"Not sure . "

Peng Sijue said, "From the body, the time of death is estimated to be about 20 hours ago . The cause of death is due to excessive blood loss from the stab wounds on her chest and abdomen . This blood loss caused a lack of oxygen . The deceased's clothes are intact, suggesting that she wasn’t violated . Additionally, some bloody dandruff was found underneath her nails . ”

Chen Shi said, "Old Peng, your estimate is a bit inaccurate this time . When Wang Shilun called at seven o'clock last night, the deceased was still alive . This places the time of death to be about 15 hours ago . ”

“I only talked about the ‘body’ . When we came in, the air conditioner was still on . The room temperature reached 30 degrees, so it accelerated the decaying process of the corpse . ”

Chen Shi squatted down and Peng Sijue turned the body over . The sweater of the deceased had been stained red with blood . There was a slash wound on the left breast and there were three stab wounds on the abdomen . Chen Shi used a ruler to measure the length of the wound . "The weapon is about five centimeters wide with a sharp edge . "

Peng Sijue went on to say, "The deepest stab wound on the abdomen only reached ten centimeters . The knife’s handle left a mark on the skin, so the weapon is about ten centimeters long . ”

"Then it’s a dagger . " Chen Shi concluded and looked around . He then stood up and walked towards the door . He checked the lock . “The lock is intact and there’s a peep-hole on the door . This crime should have been committed by an acquaintance… The welcome mat at the front door is displaced by thirty centimeters . There was something that fell off the shelf at the entrance . The first blood splatter found was twenty centimeters from the door . After the murderer entered the room, they pushed the victim, forcing her to lose balance, and then they slashed her . ”

Peng Sijue continued, "The deceased tried to struggle and knocked down some vases on the TV cabinet . The murderer grasped her left shoulder and pulled her back towards them, then stabbed her a few times in the abdomen . There’s no visible theft in the house . The murderer must have planned the murder and it should be due to revenge . ”

Lin Dongxue smiled and commented, "You two really know how to work well with each other . "

"Come over here; you and the deceased are about the same height . Stand here . " Chen Shi pulled Lin Dongxue in front of him and acted out the stabbing before shaking his head . "The angle is wrong, the murderer should be even taller . "

"Let me try . " Peng Sijue came over and acted out the actions of the murderer . Lin Dongxue, who was being used as a mannequin was a little embarrassed .

"The angle is just right . Then the murderer should be around 180cm tall . . . How are you so tall? You haven’t worn pads, right?”

Peng Sijue glanced at Chen Shi coldly in response .  

A police officer came over and held a test strip in his hand . They said to Peng Sijue, "Captain, the results are out . "

Peng Sijue glanced at the results . "You’re not mistaken?"

"I tested it three times . "

Peng Sijue turned to Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi . "The deceased tested negative for AIDS!"

"Negative?" Lin Dongxue was shocked .

"Is she really the woman we were looking for?" Chen Shi raised a question .

The mobile phone of the deceased was on the sofa . They picked it up but the phone was out of power, so they found the charger .

When they finally turned it on, the phone held the photos they had seen previously . There were also several apps with the chat records from the officers who were trying to “fish” her out yesterday . They compared her photos to her body . Although the photos were modified, the victim was undoubtedly Kong Tingting .  

"I’ll tell the CDC expert about this and ask him to check everything again . " Lin Dongxue called the expert and told him about it .

Chen Shi was a little thirsty . He stood up to open the refrigerator door and took an unopened drink . Lin Dongxue said, "Hey, pay attention!"

"This isn’t part of the evidence . " Chen Shi opened his mouth and took a sip . “Huh? That’s odd . Why has the food in the refrigerator gone off?”
