Yan Jiang is an owl and has difficulty falling asleep at night. After receiving the call, he said hello to Song Ci and went to Zhoulou County.
The crime scene was well protected. Apart from Lin Jing and Yan Jiang, the junior forensic doctor, no one else had entered the scene.
Yan Jiang put on shoe covers and gloves and walked into the crime scene. He took pictures of every detail in the house and checked everywhere before having the body of the deceased transported to the autopsy room.
The junior brother was afraid of ghosts and always followed Yan Jiang. Although he was very timid, no matter what professional questions Yan Jiang asked, the junior brother could always give a quick answer.
Lin Jing smiled at Yan Jiang and said, "I told you that although your junior brother is afraid of ghosts, he is a Baidu expert."
Yan Jiang patted his junior brother's head, and seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, he said, "Let's go have a midnight snack."
The junior brother stared at the blood-filled room, but couldn't muster up an appetite. "You guys go ahead. I'm a little tired and need to take a nap."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go now." Lin Jing let his junior brother go, and then said to Yan Jiang: "This kid has just arrived not long ago. It's the first time he has seen such a tragic scene. It's inevitable that he can't accept it."
"You'll get used to it slowly."
Yan Jiang and Lin Jing found a roadside stall. There were fewer people there at that time, just the two of them.
Yan Jiang pulled Lin Jing to sit at the simple table in the corner. The owner was grilling, so they couldn't hear their conversation. As soon as they sat down, Yan Jiang handed a bottle of lemonade to Lin Jing and said, "I have something to tell you."
Lin Jing didn't drink alcohol while working on a case. This lemonade was his favorite drink besides beer. Lin Jing held the lemonade, his eyes drooping, and said tiredly, "You say."
He didn't sleep last night, nor did he sleep during the day today. He was so sleepy that he could fall asleep while sitting.
Yan Jiang wiped the table in front of Lin Jing with a piece of paper, saying, "I might know who the real culprit who assaulted Su Run is."
Lin Jing woke up immediately from his sleepiness.
His first reaction to the news was not joy, but suspicion. He stared at Yan Jiang thoughtfully and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"
Why, these three words are used very cleverly.
Yan Jiang knew what Lin Jing was worried about, so he gave him a reassurance. "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with me."
After hearing Yan Jiang's assurance, Lin Jing finally nodded. "How did you know this? Tell me the truth."
Yan Jiang told Lin Jing about the scene that Song Ci witnessed on the cruise ship eight years ago.
"This matter should not be made public. Right now, only you and I know about it. If others knew that Song Ci had witnessed the crime scene of Li Feng and his men, I'm afraid it would be dangerous."
Protecting the safety of witnesses is of paramount importance, and Lin Jing naturally understands the seriousness of the matter. "I understand, and I will naturally not disclose the information."
Lin Jing unscrewed the cap of his drink bottle and took a sip of the sour lemonade. He smacked his lips, put down the cup, and said, "First, we have to confirm that Su Run was indeed on that boat and find the crime scene. Only then can we track down the real culprit."
"That's true." But this happened eight years ago, and it is difficult to find out who boarded the ship eight years ago.
Yan Jiang couldn't help but feel discouraged. He said, "Even if there were surveillance devices on the cruise ship back then, they would have been deleted and disappeared after eight years. Besides, if Su Run was really murdered on that cruise ship, the murderer would have destroyed the surveillance equipment long ago. It will be difficult for us to find evidence."
The shopkeeper came over with two plates. He placed the grilled eggplant, eggs, and squid in front of Lin Jing and the others. "You two, eat first. I'll continue grilling. Do you want some beer?"
Yan Jiang waved his hand: "I want to drive, not drink."
"Okay."
After the barbecue restaurant owner left, Lin Jing suddenly asked, "Song Ci, do you still remember what that person looked like? I'll go get a photo of Su Run when he was alive, and you can show it to Song Ci. If Song Ci can recognize the girl, then this matter will be easy."
"As long as it is confirmed that Su Run is the girl Song Ci saw, I will have my own way when the time comes." Don't forget, Gu Qinchuan is in his hands.
"good."
Yan Jiang stayed in Zhoulou County for a week, and together with his junior fellow apprentice, he sorted out the autopsy results of several victims before planning to go home.
On the day he returned, Lin Jing called him to his temporary dormitory building alone.
Lin Jing was cooking the self-heating rice he had bought online. The rice wasn't done yet, but puffs of steam were coming out of the hole in the middle of the lid. Sitting at the table, Lin Jing counted the time, eager to try the rice.
Yan Jiang walked into the room and saw the self-heating rice on the table. He said, "You should eat less of this stuff. It's not clean."
Lin Jing said, "My mom snatched thirty buckets for me from the livestream room. Do you want a few?"
Yan Jiang quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it."
Lin Jing stood up and took out a cardboard bag from the drawer. He stuffed the bag into Yan Jiang's arms and told him, "This contains Su Run's photo. Show it to Song Ci later. I hope she saw Su Run's face clearly that night."
"Can I see it?" Yan Jiang asked, holding up the bag.
"Why not?"
Yan Jiang then lowered his head to open the paper bag. He heard Lin Jing say, "Su Run is a young painter who has participated in several art competitions. The photos here include those of her when she won awards, as well as photos of her daily life. I asked someone to look up these photos from her WeChat."
"Let me see."
Yan Jiang took out a thin stack of photos from the paper bag, about seven or eight of them, all of which were printed out by Lin Jing.
