Chapter 92 Lin Cuo
It really was as Chi Xia said that they had a bad start. When Luo Xun and Chi Xia found Zhou Wanrou's house with their last hope, they learned that Zhou Wanrou and her family had gone out traveling.
I originally wanted to ask the neighbor a few more questions, but he slammed the door shut and never came out again.
The two went to the property management again, but the property management only had a vague understanding of the situation in Zhou Wanrou's home.
After all this time, it was all in vain.
It was almost time for dinner, so Luo Xun and Chi Xia randomly found a restaurant. Halfway through their meal, Luo Xun suddenly said, "Chi Xia, I want to go to the mountain again."
Chi Xia thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go back to the police station and make a portrait simulation."
"Yeah." Luo Xun finished eating the rice on the plate: "Are you sure?"
Chi Xia shook his head: "I can't guarantee it 100%."
"Do what you can." Luo Xun poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "A person wouldn't be killed by someone and still be nameless. Sooner or later, they will find out."
"good."
Chi Xia also finished eating. She wiped her mouth and looked at the time: "Then I'll go back now. You drive and I'll take a taxi."
Luo Xun did not object, and the two of them acted separately.
Chi Xia got into a taxi and after thinking for a while she decided to call Lin Cuo. She learned portrait simulation from her senior sister, but compared to her senior sister, her portrait technique was still not up to par.
Chi Xia dialed the phone and just called "Senior Sister" when Lin Cuo's calm but oppressive voice came over: "Chi Xia, you used the medicine without permission again."
Even Xia Xia stopped calling out, showing that she was very angry now.
Chi Xia's eyes flashed with guilt: "Senior sister, listen to me, I used it under the condition of ensuring safety."
Lin Cuo didn't listen to her explanation and asked directly: "Where are you now?"
Chi Xia softened her voice and said, "On the way back to the police station, Senior Sister, let's not talk about this for now. Can you do me a favor first?"
"explain."
Chi Xia was delighted: "We have a case of bones where the victim has not been identified yet. I want to try a portrait simulation. Can you give me some guidance? I have never done a simulation of this difficulty."
"Is it urgent?" Lin Cuo asked.
Chi Xia was even more delighted: "Urgent!"
Lin Cuo said slowly on the other end of the phone: "Give me your home address, bring the skull back, and I'll do it for you."
Chi Xia was startled and sat up straight: "Senior Sister, where are you now?"
"Dongzhou High-speed Railway Station."
Lin Cuo snorted: "I'm going to Linhai for a meeting, and I'll come to see you on the way. Think about the medicine and how to explain it to me when the time comes."
Chi Xia became nervous and said in a flattering tone: "Then... I'll pick you up?"
"No, just send me the address and we'll meet at your house."
Lin Cuo got into the car: "I am very short on time, you should seize the moment and think about how to make the most reasonable excuse."
Chi Xia immediately became depressed again: "Okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Xia urged the driver to speed up to the police station and rushed into the forensic room.
"Doctor Ning, can you lend me the skull?" She rushed in, "I want to make a portrait simulation."
"Where are you going to do it?" Ning Yi handed her his head: "Isn't it okay here? It's quiet and has a great feel. It will give you the ultimate enjoyment."
Chi Xia smiled and said, "Next time, next time. This time we need external help. The external help is not in the police station. I'm leaving first. I'll return it to you when the time comes."
She held a skull in her arm and quickly ran into the task force office. Seeing her like that, Lin Wenjue and others who had just returned were startled.
"Xiao Xia, you...you, you, what are you doing?"
Curly pointed at the skull and said, "We won't do that, we won't do that..."
Chi Xia waved his hand. "Captain Luo and I found basically nothing. He went to the mountain to recheck. I'll simulate the portrait, but my skills are limited and I may not be able to draw it. It just so happens that my sister went to Linhai for a meeting and passed by Dongzhou. She agreed to help us. I'll take the skull to her. Brother Cao, give me the car keys and everyone wait for my news."
"Lin is wrong?"
Lin Wenjue's tired face was swept away: "Where? Let's meet, Xiaoxia, you must introduce us to each other, let her come to our special project team to paint, prepare delicious food and drinks for her, let's get to know each other."
"She came in a hurry and will probably leave again soon. I'll try my best." Chi Xia took the car keys and quickly ran downstairs.
She still had to think about how to excuse herself on the way.
…
As soon as the door of the house opened, Chi Xia, holding a skeleton in his arms, stood at attention immediately, fully prepared to be scolded.
After waiting for Lin Cuo's voice for a long time, she looked up and saw that there was no one on the sofa.
After she breathed a sigh of relief, she tentatively called out, "Senior Sister?"
Just as he finished speaking, a slender figure came out of the study, holding a pencil and drawing paper in his hands, with long curly hair lazily draped over his shoulders, showing his charm in his laziness.
Lin Cuo raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You still know that there is a senior sister like me?"
Chi Xia smiled flatteringly, quickly moved closer, and stuffed the white bone head into her arms: "Senior sister, for the sake of your junior sister's career, let's do business first."
Lin Cuo took the skull, his fingers already feeling the outline of the bones, his voice already intimate: "So I'll give you some time to think about how to lie to me?"
"Tell the truth." Chi Xia raised her finger: "Drawing in the study? Can I come in?"
"Time is tight, so don't bother me. Look at your face, you've become so thin. Rest outside and wait for me."
Lin Cuo entered the study room and stood at the door to warn her: "Take a break, I'll come out and call you."
A warm feeling passed through Chi Xia's heart, as if this cold house suddenly became warm and she truly felt like home.
She choked up a little and shook her head: "There are many delicious foods in Dongzhou. Can I buy them for you?"
Lin Cuo smiled and reached out to touch her forehead: "I won't leave until tomorrow. I'll stay here tonight. I have plenty of time in the evening."
The surprise in Chi Xia's eyes deepened, but she had no intention of resting at all. While Lin Cuo was drawing her portrait, she had already bought a lot of things from outside, including food and daily necessities, just wanting her to see them as soon as she came out, regardless of whether she was leaving tomorrow or not.
I want to share everything about myself with the people closest to me.
It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Cuo came out of the study. Chi Xia immediately stood up and looked at her expectantly: "Senior Sister, how is it?"
Lin Cuo looked at her seriously at first, then sneered when disappointment appeared in her eyes, and handed her the most complete piece of paper in his hand: "Look how scared you are, here!"
Chi Xia immediately took it with surprise, looked down, and quickly frowned again.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lin Cuo asked her with a frown.
Chi Xia shook her head, but her eyes were filled with solemnity as she looked up at her: "Senior Sister, the person you drew is exactly the one we suspect the least."
What Lin Cuo drew on the paper was Zhou Wanrou's face.
“Sometimes, those who are most suspicious are the ones who should be most suspicious .”
Lin Cuo went into the study again and took out the skull: "Okay, go to the bureau first and tell everyone the results. I'll ask for leave for you and get off work early tonight."
Chi Xia nodded and asked her, "Are you going to Luo Xun to invite me?"
"What else?"
Lin Cuo nodded at her again, smiling: "I, your senior sister, still have some face. Go quickly. I'll take a rest and wait for you to come back."
Chi Xia was like a child who depended on her family at this moment. She pointed at the food and drinks on the table and said, "These are all bought for you. Senior Sister, you must eat them."
Lin Cuo looked down and saw that in such a short time, her junior sister almost moved a small supermarket upstairs for her.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Okay, I will definitely eat it."
Chi Xia was satisfied and rushed to the police station again, wanting to tell everyone the result as soon as possible.
As soon as she left, Lin Cuo called Luo Xun.
Luo Xun had just come down from the mountain when he received the call from the strange number.
"Captain Luo." A strange female voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Lin Cuo from Qincheng, I want to ask for leave from you."
Luo Xun was very surprised. He paused before saying, "I've heard a lot about you. Officer Lin, have you asked for leave for Chi Xia?"
"Um."
Lin Cuo said straightforwardly: "I just helped you restore the portrait of the bones, and the results will be at your place soon. I have something to discuss with Chi Xia, can I let her go off work early tonight?"
"Of course." Luo Xun got in the car: "Officer Lin, are you here in Dongzhou for personal matters?"
Lin Cuo chuckled: "Yes."
"Okay." Luo Xun said, "I hope we can meet each other someday."
"There will be." The person on the other end of the line said, "Officer Luo, I'm looking forward to it."
Luo Xun replied: "Same here."
They smiled at each other.
Luo Xun had just hung up the phone when he received a message from Chi Xia.
Looking at Zhou Wanrou's photo and portrait on the screen, he stared and pondered for a few seconds, then called Chi Xia.
"Your senior sister just asked for leave for you. You can leave work early tonight. Also, Chi Xia, I also found something here."
Chi Xia's voice was filled with a little excitement, but she still asked him, "What?"
Luo Xun said: "I suspect that the bones were deliberately placed here by someone just to be discovered by us."
