Animal Detective

Chapter 359 The Process of Premeditatedly Murdering Oneself
Meilin Jiayuan is a resettlement community located about four kilometers from the aquarium.

Unit 28, 702.

"That's it."

Ye Xinyi's father, Ye Guangquan, took out the key to open the door.

After entering, he made way for me, then looked around the room and said, "I originally wanted to sell this house, but people were hesitant to buy it after hearing about the trouble my family had gone through."

“I was thinking of renting it out, but then I realized that the person is gone, so what would I do with the money?”

"Keep it, so that whenever we can come back and visit, sit here, it will feel like the mother and son are still here."

Ye Guangquan sniffed and told Shen Xin and the others to look around as they pleased, saying that everything was there and hadn't been touched.

Shen Xin thanked him and then gestured for the three of them to proceed.

The Lishan Precinct has inspected and searched the area.

After the case was reopened, Ding Yuwei and the other person came to see it again.

Logically, there shouldn't be any omissions.

But a new perspective might reveal something new.

This is what Shen Xin was thinking.

Lin Zenghui is a womanizer who tried to rape Hou Shishi; he's no good.

If he dared to blackmail Li Fusen and make Li Fusen obediently comply, then could he be holding something up?

These things concerned Li Fusen so much that he did not hesitate to kill Lin Zenghui.

This is speculation. Shen Xin is unsure what it is or even if it exists, but it's a direction worth exploring.

Shen Xin, wearing gloves, looked around the room.

Just as Ye Guangquan said, it remained as it was and was not touched much.

Even the photos on the right-hand wall were restored after the search.

Shen Xin stepped forward and examined all the photos.

I saw Lin Zenghui as a child.

"This must be Lin Zenghui's father, Lin Weidong," Shen Xin asked, pointing to a man in the photo.

Ye Guangquan glanced at it and nodded, saying that was correct.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Guangquan said, "Officer, should we continue investigating this case? It's already come to this, is there any point in investigating it anymore?"

Shen Xin paused for a moment, then nodded.

Of course it makes sense.

The significance lies in thoroughly investigating the matter, allowing the deceased to rest in peace, and ensuring that the perpetrators receive the punishment they deserve.

Ye Guangquan remained silent, then reached out and picked up a photo of Ye Xinyi and her son. He said in a bitter and desolate tone, "What good does it do to know, and what good does it do to not know?"

“The child is dead, and my daughter is about to be executed. That girl is dead, and her whole family is ruined.”

"And then there's Huihui's dad. That girl's parents kept causing trouble for him, which led to him losing his job and getting divorced last year. The last time I saw him, he was too embarrassed to even talk to me."

“We only have one daughter. My husband cries every day, saying he wants to go and be with our daughter.”

"If she dies, what's the point of my life?"

Ye Guangquan stroked his glasses frame, speaking in the calmest tone the most desperate words.

Shen Xin remained silent, feeling suffocated as if his heart was stuffed with straw.

Just as Ye Guangquan said, from Lin Zenghui to Ye Xinyi, three people died and three families were ruined because of this case.

And that doesn't even include Li Fusen or Hua Zi.

"Sir, try to think more positively," Shen Xin advised.

No use.

Ye Guangquan sat down on the sofa, his steps unsteady, and stared blankly at the photo of his daughter and grandson.

Shen Xin sighed slightly and turned to enter Lin Zenghui's room.

It's a two-bedroom apartment, but the second bedroom isn't very big.

Shen Xin sat in the gaming chair, looked around at everything, and sketched out Lin Zenghui's image in his mind.

Yang Zeran sat down on the bed next to Shen Xin and asked him what he thought.

"What do you think?" Shen Xin asked in return.

Yang Zeran said, "He's a pretty ordinary person, but he's quite energetic."

Shen Xin nodded in agreement and reached out to touch the mouse pad on the computer desk.

It's made of 3D silicone, and its main function is wrist support, but it's really just for rubbing edges.

Lin Zenghui also bought a larger size.

But when Shen Xin touched it, the feel was far inferior.

Seeing Shen Xin's action, Yang Zeran casually pressed the computer's power button.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response.

After being idle for two years, the motherboard battery had long since run out of power.

Moreover, the samples were taken and examined during the investigation back then, but nothing was found.

Yang Zeran stood up and picked up a figurine from the display shelf next to him. It was the same kind—a sexy anime female character figurine, bordering on the erotic.

He fiddled with it for a moment, then asked, "If it were you, what would you leave behind—photos, videos?"

Shen Xin leaned back in his chair and nodded in agreement, saying, "I'm inclined to believe it's video. Look, he's using drones and action cameras."

On the display case, there are camera lenses and drones.

When taking a girl out, taking photos is inevitable.

Yang Zeran picked up an action camera from a pile of electronic devices, looked at it, and then said, "He had the guts to rape Hou Shishi, do you think he might have secretly filmed her while they were doing it?"

Shen Xin sat up straight and said, "That's possible. We can take pictures and reminisce about it."

Yang Zeran looked around the room and asked, "Where would he be hiding?"

"There shouldn't be any on the computer, external hard drive, or USB flash drive? They probably searched for them back then, but there's no record of it in the case file, so it's probably not there."

"If it were me, I wouldn't copy such private information onto a USB drive either."

As he spoke, his gaze returned to the computer screen.

He squatted down, examined the main unit, and then said, "Back then, when Captain Gao and his team were investigating the case, they focused on the drowning and rape of Hou Shishi. They didn't know about Li Fusen's situation, so their investigations took a different direction."

Shen Xin nodded.

The premise was different; back then, Hou Shishi was the suspect in the investigation, and Li Fusen had nothing to do with it.

So when searching the computer, they would only look at things related to Hou Shishi.

Some information might be overlooked.

"It's not like we'd just save it directly to the computer," Shen Xin said.

That's so unsafe.

Yang Zeran nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "By the way, did you say he watches porn?"

Shen Xin was taken aback, then laughed, leaning against the table and asking in return, "Do you think so?"

Yang Zeran shook his head decisively, but avoided eye contact, and then asked Shen Xin if he wanted to see it.

"I've seen it," Shen Xin readily admitted.

Who didn't have a few teachers during their adolescence?

Under Shen Xin's gaze, Yang Zeran's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Shen Xin chuckled inwardly and pressed further, "Then how do you hide the films while watching them?"

Simply hiding it is too basic.

Creating a bunch of unrelated folders is like taking off your pants to fart. Yang Zeran had a sudden thought and blurted out, "Cloud drive."

Shen Xin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Then you still say you haven't seen it."

Yang Zeran looked embarrassed and surrendered, saying, "I've already seen it, okay?"

"What are you looking at?"

Just then, Ding Yuwei's voice rang out.

The two of them turned their heads and shook their heads in perfect unison, saying it was nothing.

Ding Yuwei gave the two of them a strange look and said that she hadn't found anything in Ye Xinyi's room.

Shen Xin nodded and beckoned Ding Yuwei to join him in thoroughly searching Lin Zenghui's room for the storage device.

Finally, the four returned to the branch office with a bunch of equipment.

After checking the computer case, it was found that the motherboard's coin cell battery was dead.

After fiddling around with it for a bit, it booted up successfully.

The absence of a power-on password could mean that the computer was cracked when it was checked years ago.

Yang Zeran skillfully operated the computer, searching for information within it.

Shen Xin opened his laptop and started looking through Lin Zenghui's phone and his email inbox for registration emails.

"Brother Xing, what cloud storage did you use to watch movies before?"

Shen Xin had already checked several mainstream cloud storage services, and Lin Zenghui had registered with them, but he hadn't found them.

"Watching a movie?"

Zhao Tianxing glanced quickly at Ding Yuwei across from him out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly lowered his voice, saying, "Shen Xin, don't talk nonsense, I won't look."

Ding Yuwei, who was flipping through the search records again, said without looking up, "I heard everything."

As she spoke, she looked up and mentioned a cloud drive, 115.

Shen Xin shook his head and said no, it would be easy to get banned.

Zhao Tianxing's eyes darted around, and he interjected, "Yunfile?"

Shen Xin's eyes lit up. That's right, how could he have forgotten about this cloud storage?

"Brother Xing, you really are an experienced driver." Shen Xin patted Zhao Tianxing on the shoulder.

Zhao Tianxing rolled his eyes and angrily shook off Shen Xin's hand.

Lin Zenghui's mobile phone number has been cancelled.

Moreover, Shen Xin remembered that registering for yunfile did not require binding a mobile phone or even an email address; it was a direct registration process that did not require any personal information.

However, some people habitually use the same username when registering online. If someone knows this username, they should be able to obtain the relevant data from the cloud storage company.

Just as I was about to ask Yang Zeran, Yang Zeran said, "I'm looking for it. His browser history has yunfile's login record, but he has already logged out automatically. But no problem, we should be able to find it."

Right now, pick up your phone and contact the cloud storage company.

The process was quick.

A cloud storage account that had been floating on the internet for two years without being logged into was opened.

Ding Yuwei glanced at the file list and asked, "This is all gibberish."

I've uploaded quite a lot of data to the 2TB storage space.

However, all the file names are meaningless gibberish consisting of letters and numbers.

Zhao Tianxing immediately saw the problem and said, "You don't understand. This is a file name that has been deliberately changed, and it also has an extension. For example, in MP4 format, if you delete one character, it becomes an unrecognizable file."

"But once you download it, you can change the file extension and watch it normally. This way you can bypass the cloud storage's review process and avoid being banned."

Shen Xin nodded, "That makes sense."

Yang Zeran had already quietly started downloading.

The internet speed was extremely fast; the first file, over a gigabyte in size, was downloaded very quickly.

I changed the file extension, and it really is a movie.

"I've seen it, it's boring." Zhao Tianxing pouted.

Yang Zeran immediately crossed it out.

With nearly two hundred files, I inevitably have to look at them all.

Shen Xin and Zhao Tianxing would occasionally exchange a few words.

Ding Yuwei couldn't help but remind the two of them to be serious.

Yang Zeran nodded in agreement.

Shen Xin kicked Yang Zeran's chair in annoyance, saying, "You're not exactly serious either."

While things were commotion, Yang Zeran opened another video.

Suddenly, Lin Zenghui's face appeared in the shot.

The four people's expressions changed, and they immediately sat up straight.

"This is the dolphinarium, right?" Zhao Tianxing hurriedly pointed to the video.

Shen Xin stared intently at the dolphinarium.

The camera angle appears to be Lin Zenghui holding his phone, and it's nighttime.

With a wicked grin, he sneaked into the dolphinarium and then, presumably, hid in a secluded spot, pointing his camera at the dolphin pool.

"Li Fusen!" Zhao Tianxing exclaimed again.

Li Fusen appeared in the shot.

He was wearing a diving suit and interacting with a dolphin in the pool.

Judging from the angle, Shen Xin guessed that it should be in the cargo port and then in the dark area of ​​the landscaping outside the dolphin pool.

Being some distance away, Li Fusen did not notice.

Li Fusen's attention was on Hanako.

Hanako's skin is fairer, making her easy to identify.

In the video, Li Fusen can be faintly heard speaking.

He put his arm in Hanako's mouth, making her bite down, and asked her to bite harder and not let go.

Hanako cried out and kept rubbing against him.

Li Fusen quickly hugged her to comfort her, and she could hear him telling her to be good and that he was alright.

Lin Zenghui turned the camera to himself, looking excited.

Then the camera was turned around and aimed at the pool.

Li Fusen and Hua Zi had already dived underwater, while Lin Zenghui, emboldened, raised his phone to try and film what was happening underwater.

In the shaky footage, it's vaguely visible that Hanako has bitten Lee Fusen's arm.

With a splash, it must have been Xingbao leaping out of the water.

Lin Zenghui was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, then sneakily walked out.

Once outside the dolphinarium, he turned the camera on himself and excitedly exclaimed, "See that? This pervert has already started playing with self-torture. Isn't that exciting?"

Shen Xin was surprised.

Clearly, Lin Zenghui has misunderstood.

He thought Li Fusen was just playing around, indulging in self-torture, using pain to stimulate himself.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Fusen was training Hanako to murder him.

In other words, he inadvertently filmed Li Fusen's premeditated murder of him.
