TPODN Chapter 7

Wang Linfei hadn’t been home in a long time. On the day the meeting ended, he asked Hu Shi for a short leave. He planned to go home to get some essential living supplies. He knew this case would definitely be a protracted battle, and it would be reasonable not to return home for a month or two.

For Wang Linfei, there was only one thing that could be considered essential: “coffee.”

Wang Linfei was addicted to coffee. Regular instant coffee or Americano ordered from takeout simply didn’t work for him. Wang Linfei needed high-end coffee beans, and he only enjoyed the process of brewing it himself. He often told Li Ke and others that he was a “slave” to coffee.

African coffee beans are among the highest quality coffee beans in the world, boasting a rich taste and unique aroma. Ever since Wang Linfei started drinking coffee, African coffee beans had been his favorite choice, bar none.

Wang Linfei had a college classmate in Kenya, Africa, who often sent him fresh, local Kenyan coffee beans. Wang Linfei cherished them. Drinking Kenyan coffee beans made Wang Linfei feel like he was injected with chicken blood, and he could handle working on a case for three days and three nights straight without any problems.

Most importantly, Wang Linfei felt that high-concentration coffee could accelerate his thinking. That’s why he asked Hu Shi for leave this time, because the coffee beans in the office were running low. With a major case approaching, these Kenyan coffee beans at home were his “magic weapon” for solving it.

Before Li Ke and Lu Yao contacted Wang Linfei, Wang Linfei leisurely brewed a cup of coffee at home. The locally produced Kenyan coffee beans brought Wang Linfei’s thoughts back to the entire case. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his speech at the meeting during the day. Currently, on the one hand, they had to find the remaining body parts of the “dismemberment case,” and on the other hand, they had to pay attention to the Jin Sisi fan club group. There was no problem with the overall logical reasoning, and even if there were objective circumstances, these clues were still clear.

Just then, someone made a WeChat video call. Wang Linfei thought it must be Li Ke, but when he picked up his phone, he realized it was Wang Qianqian.

Wang Qianqian is Wang Linfei’s younger sister, currently in high school in Wang Linfei’s hometown, Linyuan City. Wang Linfei reluctantly answered the video call.

“What’s up?”

“Brother~ Let me show you my good friend! We’re eating, hahahaha!”

The carefree Wang Qianqian didn’t feel any pressure from her brother’s workload. She enthusiastically introduced her new friend, while Wang Linfei was absentminded, his thoughts not at all with Wang Qianqian.

“Brother~ this is Liu Di, she…”

“Wait!”

Liu Di was helping Wang Qianqian adjust the camera in the video. Wang Qianqian was still vividly describing, but Wang Linfei suddenly interrupted his sister.

“Brother~ What are you doing!” Wang Qianqian complained.

“Liu Di, your clothes…” When Liu Di helped adjust the camera, her cuff was revealed. Wang Linfei noticed that Liu Di’s cuff was also lace, and very similar to the white lace accessory on the severed hands in the two cases!

“Haha, brother, I think it looks good. This is Jin Sisi’s same style lace dress… I didn’t expect my almost thirty-year-old sister to still like this, huh!” Wang Qianqian was completely on a different wavelength from her brother.

Wang Linfei was very excited. He didn’t know how much energy this cup of coffee had given him. He grabbed the screen and asked Liu Di when Jin Sisi wore these clothes? And asked Liu Di where she bought them?

Wang Qianqian thought her brother was chasing after Jin Sisi and wanted to chat more, but Wang Linfei hung up the video call in a hurry and immediately sent a WeChat message to Wang Qianqian. He said: “Quickly have your friend answer those two questions. I don’t want to explain anything else to you. Quickly!”

Wang Linfei ordered Wang Qianqian in the tone of an older brother. Wang Qianqian was very unhappy, but after all, her brother was still her brother. She quickly asked Liu Di about the origin of this dress and immediately replied to Wang Linfei.

Liu Di said that this was the same style dress that Jin Sisi made popular last year. It was very popular online. Many boys who were not Jin Sisi fans thought it looked good. Moreover, Jin Sisi not only wore it to concerts last year, but also wore it when she went out on the street. The colors were also various. Her dark blue dress was one of the color schemes, and she also bought it online.

Wang Linfei quickly found many photos of Jin Sisi wearing this dress online. Sure enough, they were diverse, and this dress was a popular item for online shopping. Tens of thousands of people bought it in different stores every month, including Jin Sisi’s same style popular white dress!

Wang Linfei carefully observed this black dress, and its cuffs were indeed very similar to the white lace accessory being investigated! It was foreseeable that this was definitely the same style worn by Jin Sisi!

The direction of the investigation had become clear. It seemed that Wang Linfei was right to let Li Ke investigate Jin Sisi’s fan club!

In fact, Wang Linfei had always had a knot in his heart, and that was what was the white lace accessory that appeared on the severed hands? Li Ke had previously investigated that the rings worn on the two severed hands were once worn by Jin Sisi at a concert, so was this white lace accessory also the same?

Through Liu Di’s description and his own investigation, this white lace accessory was the cuff of the white dress that Jin Sisi had worn at the concert!

The murderer may want to piece together the bodies of different people into Jin Sisi’s concert look!

So, has this look ever appeared in Jin Sisi’s concert?

“Art… If it’s true, then it’s too artistic…” Wang Linfei’s forehead was sweating. For a moment, he didn’t know if he was feeling emotional or if he really admired this method of piecing together corpses in his heart.

The troublesome murderers abandoned those barbaric methods of killing. They didn’t kill simply because of a momentary impulse, but rather planned in advance. These perverted and extreme people can be called “artists.” While some were practicing “art theory,” they were also improving their “artistic creations.” There has been no shortage of such “perverted artists” in the long river of history.

How will this “serial murder combination case” end? As a criminal investigation police officer, Wang Linfei couldn’t express his inner excitement, but out of instinct, Wang Linfei enjoyed the time spent competing with the murderer.

At this moment, Li Ke called as expected.

“Brother Linfei! We found a suspicious person! Quickly go to the City Public Security Bureau. This guy seems a little suspicious!”
