Chapter 89 - 89 Pretty Girl

89 Pretty Girl

“Xiaotao, what was your impression of Li Ting’s appearance during the autopsy?” Bai Luo’s words were a little ambiguous, but Yin Tao could understand what she meant.

“Li Ting is very young and pretty. This can be seen from her features.” When Yin Tao first saw Li Ting’s corpse, she felt that she was very pretty, as such she also lamented her death.

“Yes, the point is that she was pretty.” As Bai Luo spoke, he pulled up a few photos on his phone. “These are missing persons who are similar to Li Ting in the missing persons case.”

Yin Tao looked carefully at the pictures on Bai Luo’s phone and realized that the missing persons were all girls, and they were indeed very pretty.

“If it’s one or two, it might have been a coincidence, but many of the missing persons at the same time were really pretty. Moreover, the way they disappeared was very strange. It was as if they had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. There were no clues at all.”

Bai Luo frowned slightly. Looking at the bright and pretty faces in the photos, he felt very upset.

Most people would associate the murder of a pretty young woman with rape and sexual assault, but Li Ting’s body had no traces of being violated at all. Yin Tao didn’t understand what the murderer’s motive was.

“Previously, the police thought that it was an ordinary human trafficking case. Because they couldn’t find any clues about the missing person or the deceased, they could only classify the case as a missing person case.” Bai Luo realized that there were no clues left behind in these missing person cases. The murderer must have been very meticulous.

Yuan Xiao analyzed Bai Luo’s words and slowly said, “Completely missing and not harmed. Li Ting has been missing for nearly half a year, but the time of her death was one or two days ago…”

“Could it be that the criminal held them captive together?” A terrifying thought suddenly came to Yin Tao’s mind.

“It’s possible, but it’s too difficult to put it into practice. It’s very difficult to find a place that won’t be discovered.” Bai Luo shook his head and explained to Yin Tao, “If the criminal really held these people captive and managed not to leave any clues, then he has a terribly good criminal mind.”

Bai Luo’s words did not dispel Yin Tao’s guess. Although it was not easy to hold many people captive together, it was not completely impossible.

“The other possibility is that these missing people have already been killed. However, their bodies have been very well hidden and have never been discovered.” Yin Tao felt that this was more likely. After all, hiding the dead was much easier than hiding the living.

”No matter what the situation is, it’s bad enough. We won’t be able to take leave soon.” Bai Luo looked at Yin Tao and asked, “Xiao Tao, where are you going? Do you need me to drive you?”

“I’m just going to buy some daily necessities. Your team is so busy right now, so you don’t have to worry about me.” After Yin Tao finished speaking, she flagged down a taxi by the street. She was headed for the mall nearest to the police station.

Yin Tao went to the mall to buy some energy drinks and ready-to-eat food, hoping to provide some help to the detectives.

Yin Tao walked out of the mall carrying two large bags. Just as she was about to hail a taxi by the roadside, she saw a familiar champagne-colored SUV stop in front of her.

“Little sister Xiaotao, why did you go shopping alone and buy so many things?” Lin Jia was wearing a black suit. There was a glint in his eyes behind the thin-rimmed glasses.

“Brother Lin Jia, I can take a taxi.” Yin Tao watched as Lin Jia took the bag from her and placed it in the trunk of his car.

“Even if you aren’t carrying anything, I would still give you a lift.” Lin Jia opened the car door like a gentleman and said to Yin Tao in a gentle voice, “Get in the car. I can’t park here for too long.”

Yin Tao couldn’t refuse, so she could only sit in the front passenger seat. After Yin Tao got into the car, Lin Jia walked back to the driver’s seat and slowly started the engine.

“Little Sister Xiaotao, have you eaten? Do you want to eat something?” Lin Jia drove very slowly. Because Yin Tao was around, Lin Jia drove especially carefully.

“I’ve already eaten.” Yin Tao hurriedly explained when she saw Lin Jia looking at her suspiciously, “I just ate a packed lunch at the police station. Brother Lin Jia, haven’t you eaten yet?”

“Not yet. I just finished a meeting. There have been a lot of issues in City A recently, and there are a lot of trivial matters to deal with.”

Lin Jia looked at Yin Tao from the corner of his eye and said in a pleading tone, “Little Sister Xiaotao, can I take up a little of your time later? Accompany me for a simple meal. I really don’t like to eat alone in a restaurant.”
