In the early hours of the morning, it was announced that Zhong Tiantian could not be revived. They found a note in her pocket.
As Lin Yuan got out of bed, he felt genuinely tired; he had only slept for three hours the previous night. The crime scene had not changed much, with only the case files slowly disappearing. For Lin Yuan, who had a photographic memory, this was not a problem.
Just as he was wondering if there would be any newcomers besides himself, there was a knock on the office door.
When he opened it, he saw Captain Zhang.
"Xiao Lin, do you know the girl from last night?"
Lin Yuan's drowsy eyes paused for a moment upon hearing this, and he immediately realized what had happened.
"I don't know her. What's wrong?"
"They found a note on her body with your name on it."
Captain Zhang did not bring the note with him; it had already been sent to the forensic department for testing to see if there were any other fingerprints on it. However, they still had the photograph.
After seeing the words on the note, Lin Yuan understood why this was significant.
"Lin Yuan, do you like this gift?"
The direct mention of his name indicated that this was not a simple suicide case.
"Do you remember I mentioned a planner by the sea who orchestrated these criminal cases?"
Seeing that Lin Yuan's face showed no signs of surprise or shock, Captain Zhang chose not to speak immediately and listened to Lin Yuan's words instead.
In fact, the police department had already conducted several covert searches, but the connections between these cases were too tenuous. With the investigator now dead, that lead had effectively been severed.
Now that their opponent had resurfaced, it was a provocation to the police department—a challenge to see if they could catch him.
The trap set for you is certainly more than this; the contents of that note have already been leaked by some small media outlets. Now Zhong Tiantian's parents are at the police station.
Both her father and mother were good to her. Early in the morning, they received a call from the police station specifically asking for Lin Yuan.
When Captain Zhang and Lin Yuan arrived in the lobby, they saw a couple with red eyes standing up.
"You must be Lin Yuan! My daughter died because of you! You must pay for her life!"
She was so agitated that she nearly rushed over to grab Lin Yuan's clothes, but fortunately, Zhong Tiantian's father was more rational and pulled her back.
"Calm down. Let's investigate the cause of our daughter's death first," he said.
Before Lin Yuan could say a word, the woman's furious gaze collided with his. Her tone was laced with sarcasm and unrestrained anger.
"I've known about your relationship for a long time. Just look at your age! How dare you lay a hand on my little girl? Do you even have any shame?!"
"How can you wear that outfit? Officer, is this how your police station treats a murderer?!"
"What?!"
Zhang, the officer, immediately grew serious and stepped forward to confront the woman.
"Ma'am, do you have any photos of your daughter with Lin Yuan? We need to understand the situation in detail."
After all, Lin Yuan wasn't always at the police station. If he had a criminal record, that would complicate matters significantly.
The woman ignored him completely.
"Photos? Every time they went out together, they were dressed so tightly! Just show me his phone, and everything will be clear!"
She tried to rush over again to snatch Lin Yuan's phone.
Lin Yuan felt utterly confused by the situation, especially since he was being implicated due to his private interactions with Zhong Tiantian.
"I don’t even know your daughter! You must have mistaken me for someone else!"
"Keep pretending! Then why did my daughter come to the police station to commit suicide? And that note had your name on it, right?"
The woman glanced around and then sneered.
"I’ve already inquired about this police station. You're the only one named Lin Yuan! If it's not you, then who else could it be?"
It was clear she had come prepared.
With no other option, Zhang could only take her to the mediation room. There were enough seats for everyone to sit down comfortably.
As soon as they sat down, the woman started demanding to see Lin Yuan's phone. To prevent it from being damaged in her hands, Lin Yuan tossed his phone to Zhang.
This way, he could ensure that he had no issues while also protecting his phone.
"Open this app first. Yes, that one," she instructed.
She found Lin Yuan's social media app and began opening each conversation one by one.
However, since Lin Yuan usually delivered food, even though he was at the police station now, there was only one green bubble and one video chat app on his phone.
As for his contacts, they were equally straightforward.
After repeatedly checking, the woman clearly showed confusion in her eyes when she couldn't find her daughter's contact information.
"That's not right. She clearly went out with a boy," she said, turning to her husband for confirmation. "The last time I saw, it should have been a boy, right? It was too dark tonight, but it should have been someone with short hair."
So the couple wasn't completely clueless; they just couldn't determine who it was at that moment, and Lin Yuan happened to stumble into this situation.
"You mentioned that the person who was closer to your daughter is a boy? Could you tell me his age?" Lin Yuan seized the opportunity to ask.
"I'm sorry, Officer. We misunderstood you earlier," the woman replied. "The last time we saw him, it was from a distance. He seemed quite young, probably over 1.7 meters tall."
They were thinking of a boy because their daughter had reached that age.
"My poor daughter..." The woman sitting beside them calmed down a bit, her eyes red as she looked at Team Leader Zhang. "My daughter would never commit suicide. We've never stopped her from dating or having contact with boys; my husband and I always support her decisions. Besides, she has never mentioned anything that would make us think otherwise. There must be something we don't know."
Due to the special nature of this case at the police station, Team Leader Zhang couldn't disclose any leads from their side. He could only say, "If you can provide information about anyone your daughter has been in contact with recently, including some chat content from school, it would definitely help the case."
"I actually brought my daughter's phone," the woman said. "We didn't know the password because we wanted to protect her privacy."
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly when he saw the high-end phone that most high school students had nowadays. As Team Leader Zhang reached out to take the phone and prepare for the technical team to unlock it, Lin Yuan took the phone back and said, "Let me handle this."
Team Leader Zhang looked at Lin Yuan with a peculiar expression. "You can do this too?"
