To be fair, Sun Yu can be considered a member of the special case team, and it is indeed too much to sing the opposite side of the suspect.

Although she didn't know what was going on in Sun Yu's mind, Xia Lan continued her questioning.

"We found a male body in a forest near North Ring Road. Witnesses stated that they saw a man following you into the forest that night."

Sun Yu glanced at Yan Yuezhi, who shook her head at him.

"I need to know the identity of this witness. You also said that it was night. At what distance did he identify my client?"

"It was a taxi driver who was urinating on the side of the road. I saw him across the road." It was Liu Xian who spoke, and he did not realize the other meaning of Sun Yu's words.

Sun Yu asked Yan Yuezhi, "Do you have any friends who are taxi drivers?"

Seeing Yan Yuezhi shaking his head, Sun Yu smiled curiously, "You have also seen that my client does not have a driver friend. How did this person know my client?

If I remember correctly, there are very few street lights on Beihuancheng Road. How did this person identify my client late at night?"

Xia Lan frowned and stared at Sun Yu. They had very few things at their disposal, and they came here just to try their luck. Unexpectedly, they were directly blocked by Sun Yu.

Xia Lan placed a photo on the table and asked in a low voice: "Do you know this person?"

This photo was specially selected by Xia Lan. In the photo of the deceased's body, you can not only see the deceased's bloody face, but also the left hand with a finger cut off.

"I don't know."

Yan Yuezhi's calm voice sounded in the room.

But everyone else in the room was already in a panic. Yan Yuezhi was just a 15-year-old girl, but she was so calm after seeing the photo of the corpse.

You know, even a normal adult will have a strong reaction when seeing such a bloody photo.

At this time, Sun Yu, who had been pretending to be a stranger, finally made a move, and his fingers quickly jumped on his forearm.

That was the Morse code between him and Xia Lan.

Sun Yu was saying: A male teacher in the welfare home is missing and may be the deceased.

Sun Yu's judgment was very simple. The deceased was beyond recognition, and the murderer's purpose was naturally to hide the identity of the deceased.

It is rare for a murder case to occur in such a small county. Liu Feiguang disappeared mysteriously at this time. Coupled with Yan Yuezhi's weird behavior just now, he was basically certain that the deceased might be Liu Feiguang.

Xia Lan immediately responded in Morse code: Why did you help her?

Sun Yu responded: She is very smart. Whatever I can tell, she can also tell.

Very smart!

Being able to make Sun Yu admit that a person is smart shows how extraordinary this person is.

Xia Lan took Liu Xian away, leaving only Sun Yu and Yan Yuezhi in the library.

Sun Yu looked at Yan Yuezhi, his eyes fixed, "Did you really go to the crime scene with that person that night?"

"I don't know! I just went out for a walk." Yan Yuezhi scratched her head sadly, "I think I went to a small forest! But I didn't know there were other people!"

Yan Yuezhi still looked like a girl when she spoke, with an air of innocence that made Sun Yu feel that she would not be a lying girl.

"I don't like girls who lie." After saying this, Sun Yu stood up and prepared to leave.

"You are lying too! You obviously know the beautiful sister just now, but you just pretend not to know her."

Sun Yu didn't say a word, but felt that his steps were much heavier, and it was a waste of his energy to walk out of the room.

Not because Yan Yuezhi saw that he and Xia Lan knew each other, but because she said you were lying too.

Yan Yuezhi admitted that she was lying, which meant that she had indeed been to that forest and was related to the dead people in the forest.

When he walked to the door, Sun Yu turned back and glanced at Yan Yuezhi. She was also looking at him, with her brightest smile on her face.

······

Xia Lan sent all the information about the case to Sun Yu. It was already 12 noon when Sun Yu finished reading it.

Tong Yuqin prepared a sumptuous lunch, seemingly to repay Sun Yu for his morning teaching.

Lunch was still a pleasant one, and Tong Yuqin and the doorman Uncle Wang didn't pay any attention to the police's visit in the morning.

After lunch, everyone started preparing the Christmas tree. Tonight was Christmas Eve, and Tong Yuqin planned to prepare a gift for each child.

When Xia Lan left in the morning, she had someone extract some traces of life in Liu Feiguang's room. The results have come out and it is confirmed that the deceased was Liu Feiguang.

But everything about Liu Feiguang was false, and the police could not even confirm his real name.

The case seems to have reached a dead end here. The murderer is unknown, but Yan Yuezhi is the most suspected.

Sun Yu had studied the photos of the crime scene, and he didn't think that Yan Yuezhi's small body could complete such a complicated murder.

Assuming that Yan Yuezhi had an accomplice, then this accomplice was most likely the murderer of the massacre. After that, he hid around Yan Yuezhi and protected her secretly.

Protect her?

Sun Yu was hanging lanterns on the Christmas tree, and after thinking of these three words, he gradually understood the murderer's intention of amputating his fingers.

The family that adopted Yan Yuezhi was killed, and the reason why she was unharmed and not suspected was precisely because of her severed finger.

This time too, Yan Yuezhi and Liu Feiguang entered the woods. Wasn't Liu Feiguang killed so painstakingly and had his fingers cut off to reduce Yan Yuezhi's suspicion?

What was the murderer's purpose for cutting off his fingers?

You know, there are many ways to leave traces. Why leave such a label?

If we just judge from the perspective of a serial killer, the killer must have some meaning in doing this.

At the same time, Xia Lan, who was sitting in the Linxian Public Security Bureau office, was also thinking about the same problem. Using this professional tool to cut off a finger, the label was too obvious, it must mean something.

Xia Lan suddenly raised her eyebrows. She picked up her mobile phone and contacted Wang Lan who was far away in Mengshan City.

"Check, the key word in missing persons cases reported in China eight years ago was broken little finger."

"Oh!" Wang Lan exclaimed on the phone, "Captain Xia, aren't you and Brother Yu together? Why are you investigating the same case?

He just called a few minutes ago and asked me to check this. However, there is one more keyword than you."

Xia Lan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard that she was one step behind Sun Yu. When she heard that one word was missing, she felt even worse, "What?"

"Cigar Merchant!"

Cigar merchant?

Xia Lan thought for a while and immediately understood what Sun Yu meant. In the case eight years ago, it was determined that the murder weapon was a modified cigar cutter.

The police initially investigated in this direction, but the scope of the investigation was cigar merchants in Linxian County.
