How did you, a gangster, end up in the police force?

Chapter 516: Flesh and blood have been separated

"Captain Ye, you're here. Thank you for your hard work." Chief Meng of the police station said with dark circles under his eyes.

"We are not as hard-working as you are. You have to patrol during the holidays. We are just investigating cases." Ye Lin shook hands with Chief Meng enthusiastically. Although the police station does not investigate such major cases, they are very busy during the holidays.

"But now that we see Captain Ye, we see hope. Let's hurry up and catch the murderer as soon as possible so that the brothers can rest early." Chief Meng praised Ye Lin.

"You're kidding. Show me what you ate. One moment you said you ate people, and the next moment you said someone died."

Just now, the person on the phone said that someone might have died, and then he heard someone downstairs talking about cannibalism, which confused Ye Lin.

"Look at this." Meng pointed to a short object on the table. "Preliminary judgment is that it is a human finger."

Ye Lin picked up a chopstick from the table and scraped the thing, which was about 2 centimeters long. There was a piece of nail on it, but it had been boiled and fell off.

At first glance it looks like the top half of the three middle fingers.

However, the whole thing had been cooked for too long and the meat had fallen off. Ye Lin just pulled it apart and the flesh and bones were completely separated.

Looking at the finger stewed in the soup, Qi Shan felt uncomfortable in her chest. She retched and went outside to breathe fresh air.

Ye Lin also sighed, "It's basically a human finger, but I don't know whose it belongs to."

"We asked earlier, and the five members of the old Jin family are all present. It's not theirs," said Meng.

"Well, one is whose finger it is, and the other is how did it get into the soup."

Ye Lin pointed to the pot of old duck soup. A thick layer of fat floated on the top. Judging from the color of the soup, the soup was indeed cooked well.

The forensic doctor had not arrived yet, and neither had the technical department, so Ye Lin could only take a quick look at the environment in the house.

Aunt Liu's house doesn't have many rooms or halls. The living room and dining room are right at the entrance, with a small octagonal table.

This kind of table is square when folded, but the four sides can be propped up to become a large round table.

This retractable table is very suitable for small apartments. It can be folded away at ordinary times and set up when someone comes.

There are two bedrooms in total, one with a big bed and the other is like a storage room.

The kitchen and bathroom are together. When you enter from the kitchen, the bathroom is on the left. This is a bit unacceptable in modern times, but it was designed like this in the past to save space.

The kitchen was still a mess, with pots and pans scattered everywhere, and there were still some vegetable leaves left in the pot, just like before the meal.

There is a window in the kitchen, looking out onto a very small patio, and then the neighbor’s kitchen. I don’t know how the layout of this house was designed, it’s so compact.

After taking a rough look, Ye Lin said hello to Chief Meng and went to the hospital first. The scene here had to wait for the forensic doctor to come and see before he could proceed.

Grandpa Jin and his family went to the No. 1 Municipal Hospital. Ye Lin saw Aunt Liu in the emergency room, lying on the observation bed sighing, with Grandpa Jin sitting beside her.

Their son and daughter-in-law didn't see it.

"How are they?" Ye Lin looked at the doctor on duty.

"There's nothing wrong with his body, he's just mentally frightened. Plus he's old, so he has trouble changing gears. He'll be fine after a while." The doctor on duty said calmly.

Ye Lin felt relieved when he heard the doctor say this.

He pulled Qi Shan and asked her to walk over with him. With a female police officer around, he would appear more gentle.

It was late at night and Mr. Jin was feeling a little sleepy.

Compared with his wife, he feels much less burdened. After all, men have eaten everything and can eat anything.

Besides, he had also come through that difficult time and was not that fragile.

"Uncle, we are from the Criminal Investigation Team and would like to understand the situation." Qi Shan said softly.

Grandpa Jin pointed outside and walked out with Ye Lin and the others. "Well, I don't know much either. Maybe the old lady knows more, but she's already asleep."

"Don't worry, let's find out first." Ye Lin comforted.

"Okay, what do you want to ask? Do you have cigarettes?"

"Yes, let's go outside and talk." Ye Lin took Uncle Jin to the door and started chatting.

After lighting a cigarette, Grandpa Jin calmed down a lot and started to talk, "Police comrade, isn't tomorrow the Mid-Autumn Festival? We are thinking of asking my son and his family to come back for dinner."

"My son and his family usually live in their own home. As you can see, the place we live in is small, so they don't come back often."

"Then my wife wanted to make something delicious for them, so she went to the market early in the morning to buy an old duck and planned to come back and stew it into old duck soup."

"She stewed it for four hours. She was very careful." Lao Jin said as he choked up a little.

"Who would have known? They would find something like this during dinner. I guess my son and his family will be even less willing to come back in the future."

Old Jin was concerned about whether his son would come back for dinner in the future, while Ye Lin was concerned about where the finger came from.

"Have you ever looked at the things your wife bought from the market? Those ducks and other things?" Ye Lin asked.

"No, my wife usually does it herself, and she never calls me. I just sit in the room and rest." Lao Jin said.

"Have you asked your lover if she has read it carefully?"

"She was so scared that her heart almost couldn't take it, and she also has cardiovascular disease. How could I dare to ask?" Lao Jin said with a bitter face.

"Did anything special happen to you today? Or anything very special?"

Lao Jin thought about it and shook his head.

Seeing that Old Jin didn't know anything about anything, Ye Lin knew that he couldn't get anything out of him for the time being.

He comforted Lao Jin, left half a pack of cigarettes for Lao Jin, and took Qi Shan to find his son.

Lao Jin's son is called Jin Chao. He works in a bank and his wife also works in the bank. They lead a relatively affluent life.

They booked a ward on the third floor for hospitalization, intending to undergo the most comprehensive examination.

The child had fallen asleep, but Jin Chao and his wife were still sitting on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Seeing the police coming in, Jin Chao’s wife turned away with a look of disgust and didn’t want to pay any attention to Ye Lin.

"I'm sorry, we're from the Criminal Investigation Team. According to the procedure, we need to record a statement from both of you." Ye Lin didn't care whether you were willing or not. No one could escape what had to be done.

"Police, why do we need police? You should check the food safety carefully. If anything can be sold, we will not be able to survive." Jin Chao's wife said unhappily.
