Chapter 420: The Missing Cleaner

At about nine o'clock, most of the officers had already left and the criminal police department was deserted . Xu Xiaodong looked at the documents faxed over from the public security offices around the whole of China and said, "How nice . We’re the only ones left here . If we have any police reports come through today, it’ll definitely find its way to us . ”

Lin Dongxue said, "Don’t worry about those . We should only check our own . "

Chen Shi bought some food and beverages before coming back . "How’s it going?"

Xu Xiaodong read the faxed file in his hand . "In the file sent by xx police, a girl disappeared in xx in 2005 . There was a call record between the missing girl and Luo Zuyu . But the investigation was suspended due to insufficient evidence . "

Lin Dongxue read, "In 2007, a girl’s corpse was burned in the suburbs of xx City . The police found that she had booked a hotel room with Luo Zuyu before her death, but the hotel's surveillance footage was wiped out by someone, and the case fizzled out after that . "

Xu Xiaodong read another one . "In 2010 in xx, a girl’s corpse was thrown into the sewers . Similarly, Luo Zuyu was an important suspect at the time, but at the critical moment, he produced an alibi and was released . "

Chen Shi reasoned, "One time might be a coincidence, but a few times indicate premeditatedmurder . "

"Is there a pattern to his murders?" Lin Dongxue asked .

Chen Shi shook his head . "This should be discussed later . I need you to investigate the identity of the deceased . "

"This . . . How do we investigate this?"

"The deceased should be a fan . Since Luo Zuyu can contact her, it means that she’s not just an ordinary fan . She should have participated in fan activities like welcoming him at the airport or train station and so on . You can go to the local fan support group to try to find out . . . Remember her characteristics are that she’s 24 years-old, 167 in height, with size 34 shoes . As for her looks…"

Chen Shi grabbed the faxed documents in their hands . There were several photos of the missing and deceased girls on them . Chen Shi laid out all these photos on the table . "Luo Zuyu likes this type . Follow this feeling to investigate!"

Xu Xiaodong mumbled, "Upon a closer look, these girls all have very large eyes and slightly protruding foreheads . "

Chen Shi said, "Close the door when you leave . I don't want to be disturbed . "

Xu Xiaodong saluted, "Yes, sir!"

After the two left, Chen Shi turned on the computer and searched for "Luo Zuyu" and "interview" . He put on headphones and began to go through his interview records .

Lin Dongxue found the Luo Zuyu Fan Support Group in Long'an City by phone . The group leader said that there was indeed a person named Ling Shuangshuang who matched those characteristics . The group leader remembered that she had handed over the flowers to Luo Zuyu on the day that they welcomed him at the airport .

After that, Lin Dongxue and Xu Xiaodong went to Ling Shuangshuang's residence . They knocked on the door and no one answered . They found a locksmith to open the lock . The moment the door opened, the locksmith exclaimed, "Aiya, my mother!" . There was a pool of blood on the living room floor .

Lin Dongxue gave Xu Xiaodong a glance and entered the house holding her gun with him . They found a female body in the bathroom .

Xu Xiaodong was startled and said, "I’ll call for back-up . "

"There’s nobody else in the team!"

"Then . . . Do we both have to check the body ourselves then?”

"Did you bring gloves?"

"No . "

"Go to the kitchen to see if you can find rubber gloves . "

Xu Xiaodong found two pairs of plastic gloves . Lin Dongxue began to examine the female body after putting them on . The female body was damp . The corpse seemed to have been washed with water and her face was corroded beyond recognition by something acidic .

Of course, Lin Dongxue wasn’t well-versed in forensic pathology . She compared the female corpse's feet with her hand and said, "Her feet are bigger than mine . Definitely bigger than size 34 . . . Looking at the skin, she doesn’t seem to match the age bracket either . Is this Ling Shuangshuang's home?"

"I just saw Luo Zuyu's photos and newspaper clippings all over the wall . The owner of the property is a typical groupie . ”

Lin Dongxue picked up the female corpse's hand and found that her palm was rough and covered with old calluses . She suddenly had a frightening thought . "This . . . This wouldn’t be the missing female cleaner, right?!"

"Why did they leave the corpse here?"

Lin Dongxue shook her head . "I'll take some photos first . "

Without a camera, she could only use a mobile phone . She carefully photographed every detail . Xu Xiaodong inspected the house . There was only a pool of blood in the living room, but the bedroom had been ransacked, as if something had been taken away .

The locksmith was still standing at the door and asked weakly, "Officers, can I go now?"

"Oh, you can go . By the way, don’t speak carelessly about this matter outside . "

When the locksmith left, a girl happened to come upstairs . She glanced at Xu Xiaodong a few times, walked up to the floor above, came back and then went back down the stairs . Xu Xiaodong found it a bit suspicious and stopped her . "Who are you looking for?"

"I . . . I went to the wrong place . "

"Don't be afraid . We’re the police . " Xu Xiaodong showed her his credentials .

"You really are the police!" The girl said in surprise . "Did something happen to Shuangshuang?"

"You are…"

"I'm her friend . I haven't been able to contact her for a few days . I was a little worried, so I came to have a look . . . I just saw you standing at the door and thought that you were a bad person . That’s why I didn’t dare to come over . ”

Lin Dongxue came out and asked, "What's wrong?"

The girl said, "Elder Sister, are you also a police officer?"

"Yes!" Lin Dongxue blocked her view and prevented her from seeing the blood stains on the floor of the living room . "We want to find out some things from you . Let's go to another place to talk!"

"Okay . . . Okay . "

Lin Dongxue told Xu Xiaodong to go down with her first and locked the door herself . She left the scene to Chen Shi . After all, she couldn’t handle it herself .

The three found a pavilion in the neighborhood to sit down in . The girl asked, "What exactly happened to Shuangshuang?"

Lin Dongxue asked, "When was the last time you were able to contact her?"

"Can't you tell me first? I care about her very much!"

"You need to tell me first . I'll tell you after you finish, okay?"

The girl accepted this condition and showed them her mobile phone . Ling Shuangshuang's last WeChat message was sent at 8:00 PM on July 14th . There was a photo in it . A man in a black sweater was driving but his face wasn’t captured in the photo . They could tell from the photo that the person had a good physique and was driving a nice car .

The girl asked in WeChat, "Who’s that? Don’t tell me you’ve become some rich man’s mistress?"

Ling Shuangshuang replied, "Hehe, I’ll reveal his identity later . "

"Tch, you need to keep it confidential even from me? Let's sever all ties with each other!"

"Okay, okay, I’ll give you a hint, his initials are NS . "

"NS? Who’s that?!"

"Stupid, think about it again . "

After that, the two didn't talk again . The girl sent a lot of messages asking, "Are you there?" but Ling Shuangshuang didn't reply . Lin Dongxue thought, "NS? Nansen? Boys? Male god[1]?!"

"Yes, male god! It must mean that!" Xu Xiaodong agreed .

"Police Elder Sister, who is it? Is Shuangshuang missing? Or has she been . . . " She covered her mouth in shock .

Since she had agreed beforehand, Lin Dongxue told her, "She was killed . "

The girl turned pale in fright . "Was . . . Was it the person in the photo who did it?"

"We are still investigating . Please send this photo to me and don't talk about this carelessly before the case is solved . "

"Okay, I know . Please get justice for her," the girl said sadly .

After getting the photo, the two of them gave the girl a lift . Then they returned to the bureau and pushed open the door of the office . Chen Shi was actually watching a TV program and recording things down in a small notebook while watching .

Lin Dongxue stepped forward and smacked him on the shoulder . “You’re so relaxed . You’re actually watching TV?!"
