Qin Ran carefully read the information about the missing person murder case in the file.
The information in the entire folder can be roughly divided into two parts.
Part One: It's about the missing Rock.
Ten years ago, Rock, who was only 15 years old, suddenly disappeared on his way to school.
The police invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but they did not find any trace of the other party until about three days ago.
Rock, who was supposed to disappear and was even confirmed dead, reappeared after a decade of disappearance.
Not only appeared, but also brutally killed a taxi driver: Mente.
As for the taxi driver who was killed, it was classified into the second part.
Mente, a taxi driver, is 50 years old.
was killed in his own home.
The room was covered with Rock's fingerprints.
Mente is kind and loving. Apart from being divorced, there is nothing worth noting.
Of course, there is nothing noteworthy about this, it is just a record of information in the folder.
More doubts had already appeared in Qin Ran's heart.
"Is there anything else to add to this Mr. Mentor?"
Qin Ran raised his head and asked Shi Qi.
"I know what you mean!"
"A teenager who disappeared for 10 years, when he reappeared, killed a taxi driver, there must be some relationship between the two!"
"Even, this taxi driver may be the kidnapper back then!"
"I thought so too, but... After our investigation, everything is normal!"
Shi Qi shook his head helplessly.
"everything is normal?"
Qin Ran frowned.
"Everything is normal in our eyes, so we need the help of special people like you who can see things differently!"
Shi Qi spread his hands. He readily admits his shortcomings.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go and see this Mr. Mentor first!"
Qin Ran stood up.
Although he really wanted to reject Shi Qi, he stayed in the study and continued.
But the agreement with Nichelle made him have to help Shi Qi, because this is the prerequisite for him to stay in the study.
…
morgue.
The mortuary cabinets in all directions were placed along one side of the wall. Two dissecting tables are placed in the center of the room.
A forensic doctor who had already been waiting was standing by.
"Shi Qi, next time you work late at night, please pay me extra salary!"
The other party began to complain as soon as Qin Ran and Shi Qi entered.
"If you can get the director's approval, I have no opinion!"
Shi Qi walked towards the morgue beside him while talking.
Obviously, this is not the first time Shi Qi has come here.
The forensic doctor followed quickly, and opened the morgue one step ahead of Shi Qi.
"Hey, there is surveillance here!"
"And according to the regulations. Some things must be done by me!"
"Otherwise, my salary will be reduced a lot!"
The forensic doctor reminded Shi Qi, smiled at Qin Ran, and introduced himself: "Derek, it's a great honor to meet Mr. 2567, your analysis of 'Heartbreaker' is really great! If you can..."
"Okay, Derek!"
"2567 and I are here for business!"
"It's not a small talk, and it's not a party. Do you understand?".
Shi Qi interrupted the forensic doctor's words.
"Okay, okay!"
"The deceased, Mente, was 50 years old. He was stabbed more than a dozen times and died. The deadliest one was the one that pierced the heart..."
The forensic doctor opened the body bag while talking.
Qin Ran's gaze locked onto the corpse instantly.
The opponent is extremely strong.
That kind of sturdiness doesn't look like a taxi driver at all, but a professional wrestler.
There are extremely thick calluses on the opponent's hands, whether it is the back of the hand or the palm of the hand. Kieran could imagine that with the opponent's size, such a palm could easily smash bricks and stones.
But it was such an opponent who was easily killed.
There was a penetrating wound on the opponent's chest. From the chest to the back, the incision is smooth and neat, directly through the heart.
It shows the sharpness of the weapon and the skill of the wielder.
However, Kieran paid more attention to the remaining knife wounds on Mente's body.
Each cut is neither deep nor shallow.
It is roughly in an effect that makes Mente unbearably painful, but not fatal.
"Rock is torturing Mentor!"
Qin Ran came to such a conclusion.
On the premise of such a conclusion, if it is said that Mentor and Roque's disappearance have nothing to do with each other, Kieran is the first to not believe it.
However, there is one more question.
"The fight between Rock and Ment must not have been silent. Didn't any of the neighbors hear the sound or scream?"
Qin Ran asked.
This was not mentioned in the previous folder information.
"No!"
"I asked all the neighbors around Mente, and no one heard screams or fighting!"
Shi Qi replied in the affirmative.
"We should go to Mente's house and take a look!"
"Thank you for your help, Derek!"
Qin Ran said, thanked the forensic doctor, and walked out.
"This is what I should do!"
The forensic doctor smiled and waved to Qin Ran.
And Shi Qi had already walked out of the morgue.
The relationship between the two is doomed to not need such pleasantries.
…
Mentor lives at 155 Ceylon Street.
It is a street with concentrated low-income families.
They can't reach the real middle class, but they don't want to go to the slums, so they are all concentrated here.
Therefore, Ceylon Street has the characteristics of both.
There is not only a little bit of 'chaos', but also regular patrols by the police.
All in all, it's a safe environment.
The surrounding residents are also considered friendly.
However, it was also because of this that after Mente was killed, there was an uproar.
With some messages, people became panicked.
The police station had to deploy additional police force.
From the entrance of the street to Mente's residence, Qin Ran had already seen two groups of fixed simple sentry boxes and one group of mobile patrolmen.
"We explained enough!"
"But the residents here are still uneasy. They think that a serial killer comparable to a 'heart picker' killed Ment!"
"It shouldn't be that poor kid of Rock!"
Shi Qi said with a helpless face.
"The residents here are familiar with Rock?"
Shi Qi's tone made Qin Ran ask subconsciously.
"Um!"
"Rock's disappearance back then caused a sensation just like Mente's killing now!"
"And now the two are combined... I can already imagine what news will appear in the newspapers recently!"
Shi Qi nodded, and replied in a more helpless tone.
In fact, Kieran had already seen some reporters squatting around with cameras.
Among them, some of them pressed the shutter repeatedly at him and Shi Qi.
"Go away!"
Shi Qi, who got out of the car, drove these reporters away with a very bad tone.
In exchange, the reporters pressed the shutter more vigorously.
Qin Ran shook his head.
He finally understood why Shi Qi didn't get any chance of promotion after ten years of working as a sheriff.
It is strange that such a temper can be promoted.
Listening to Shi Qi's increasingly angry yelling at the reporters, Qin Ran slipped through the cordon, opened the door and entered Mente's home.
Coming with Shi Qi is the best pass.
No policeman will stop it.
As soon as he entered, Qin Ran frowned.
