Corpse
Hey, what have you been up to lately? Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days, and my mom suggested I ask if you can co over for a al, for a little family reunion.
Lin Yan still had that nonchalant look on her face: Eat what? Im busy, no ti.
Is it still that White Whale case?
Oh, even you know about it.
Lin Ge laughed a bit: It made the front page of the newspapers. How could I not know?
Well, thats true, Lin Yan replied, switching her phone to the other hand and reaching for so potato chips to snack on.
Lin Ge paused, hesitating to speak: When will you be done with your work? Its been a long ti since Ive seen She doesnt even answer my calls.
Lin Yan glanced at soone who was quietly drinking tea and reviewing case records at the table, feeling secretly pleased but not showing it on her face: How would I know? In any case, until we solve the case, we wont have any rest. Look, shes right here now. Do you want to talk to her on the phone?
Lin Ge quickly declined: No, no, you guys are busy, and solving the case is important. Take care of yourselves and stay safe.
For soone she had grown up with, Lin Yan didnt claim to understand him completely, but she knew him fairly well. This kid was probably entangled in a romantic relationship.
Lin Yan looked at Song Yuhang with a complex expression, then turned away and said, Can you do it, or should we find soone else? You two really arent suitable
Whats the matter? Do you have a bias against her?
Its not that Lin Yan recalled the day in the car when they couldnt resist their desires. It was supposed to be an examination of injuries, but it had turned into Song Yuhang gently licking her neck, and she had surprisingly experienced a physical reaction herself.
This was simply too difficult to put into words. How could she tell Lin Ge that his future wife might not be straight and seed to have taken an interest in her sister-in-law?
It was too complicated, better to keep it to herself.
Seeing her hesitating and stumbling over her words, Lin Ges voice carried a hint of amusent as he said, Well, I cant say for others, but if she becos your sister-in-law, she will definitely treat you well.
Lin Yan had an uneasy feeling about that statent, but she couldnt quite put her finger on what was wrong with it.
Before she could think too much, Song Yuhang approached and patted her on the shoulder, saying, We have new leads, co over.
Lin Yan was startled, almost dropping her phone. She hastily hung up the call and got up.
I wont bother you with this anymore, off to work.
Song Yuhang intentionally fell a half step behind others, waiting for her to walk by her side and whispered, I heard it all.
Lin Yan gritted her teeth, You eavesdropped on my conversation?
Its not really eavesdropping, is it? You didnt hide to make the call, Song Yuhang shrugged, leaving her with one last question before quickly walking ahead.
Why dont you want to be with Lin Ge?
Lin Yan blushed, as if she were about to strike, but she was already three steps ahead and swiftly entered the training room. She had no choice but to bite her lip and follow.

Captain Song, we found this in the mobile phone recovered from Forensic Doctor Lin, Zheng Chengrui enlarged the image for them to see.
It looks like a shop, maybe a restaurant, judging by the interior decor. And the food appears to be,
Lin Yan leaned in, Steak.
Several people exchanged glances, all of them looking delighted.
Lets imdiately cross-reference the surroundings, locate this shop, and well find out who the person dining with Wu Wei that day was.
As soon as Song Yuhang finished speaking, another mber of the cybersecurity team called out, Captain Song, co take a look at this, its its unbelievable!
Song Yuhang walked over, asking, Whats going on?
The cybersecurity team mber vacated a seat, Based on the phone number, the owner is listed as Yu Xinye, but but this person died twenty years ago!
The internal network of the Ministry of Public Security displayed a black-and-white record.
Deceased: Yu Xinye.
Cause of Death: Passed away due to illness.
Contact Information: xxxx, which is the sa string of numbers on that ledger.
On the open computer screen, the deceased person gazed at them silently. A chilling breeze swept in through the open window, and nearly everyone felt a shiver down their spine.
Soone cleared their throat, and the sound of a gulp beca increasingly pronounced in the hushed atmosphere.
Duan Cheng hesitated and finally broke the silence, Could it be could it be a ghost?
Song Yuhang cast a stern glance at him, As law enforcent officers, we dont believe in ghosts and spirits. Its a fundantal requirent of our profession.
How could a deceased person make a phone call to the living?
Song Yuhang furrowed her brow, To my knowledge, as long as the number isnt voluntarily canceled at the service center and there are continuous paynts made for the phone number after the owners death, it wont be suspended. That ans, whoever has this phone number might not necessarily be the owner; it could be soone else. But regardless, whoever it is, they must have a close connection to this case.
Check if this Yu Xinye has any other relatives?
The cybersecurity team mber typed on the keyboard, No, Captain Song, according to our records, there are no surviving family mbers in their household. Both parents are deceased.
Song Yuhang pondered for a mont, Find out where this person is from.
The registered residence is Xiaohe Village in Wuli Town, Qingan County, Jiangcheng City.
Imdiately contact the local police station for verification.
Before long, the phone rang, and the operator covered the receiver before handing it to Song Yuhang.
Hello, my surna is Song, Im the Deputy Team Leader of the Criminal Investigation Division in Jiangcheng City.
Upon hearing her official position, the person on the other end instantly showed respect and began flipping through a booklet, creating a rustling noise. Lead Leader, I checked. There is indeed a person from Xiaohe Village who died ten years ago. Were not sure about the specific illness, but what we can confirm is that he had a distant relative still living in the local area. This relative ca to our towns social security office just last month to collect welfare.
Song Yuhang had a hunch that once they established the identity of this person, they would be closer to the truth.
Thank you. Ill go there in person.
As she hung up the phone, she selected a few people to accompany her. Unusually, Lin Yan didnt volunteer this ti.
Just as she was about to direct her gaze at Lin Yan, the latter swiveled her chair, took a sip of coffee, and placed it back down, saying, Hey, dont look at . Its a remote and impoverished area, and I really dont want to go.
Song Yuhang shook her head in resignation, gathered her belongings, and holstered her sidearm in her waist holster. Lets go.
As she passed by Lin Yans seat, she intentionally slowed down, expecting Lin Yan to say sothing to her. However, Lin Yan was engrossed in playing the Russian block gaTetris on her phone, seemingly carefree.
Song Yuhang sighed quietly to herself and continued to stride ahead of the group.
Once she had moved a considerable distance away, the police car, with its flashing lights, departed from the city bureaus gate. Lin Yan stood up from her seat and walked to a dim corner of the hallway to make a phone call.
Hey, last ti you said, where is Li Bin from?
Hes from Wuli Town in Qingan County. He worked as a forensic doctor at the local police station for half his life. Because of his diligent work and outstanding performance, he was transferred to work at Jiangcheng City Bureau. However, he didnt stay there long and voluntarily returned to his hotown.
Is the source of this information reliable?
Its reliable. You can find his transfer records on the internal network.
Lin Yan clenched one hand into a fist, her fingernails digging into her flesh. After a long pause, she exhaled a heavy breath and said slowly, Thank you, the money will be transferred to your account.
