98: Airborne consultant Ye, what is he pretending to be?

Ye Lin humbly said a few words to everyone, which made everyone present look much better. Although they knew the credit would be shared, at least his attitude was good.

Guan Hongyuan's expression also returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Consultant Ye, you're too kind. The case at Jinhai Club was solved on the spot that day. There's a lot we can learn from you."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before getting down to business.

"Alright, the introductions are pretty much done. Let's get to work. Xiao Peng, please give us an overview of the situation so far."

"Yes."

A young police officer stepped forward. Everyone sat in their seats, and Ye Lin began to listen attentively.

"Yesterday, we received a report and found two bodies in a small grove at Yue Province University of Technology. Due to the long passage of time, the bodies had already become two skeletons. According to the Forensic Doctor's latest examination results, both victims died approximately three years ago."

"At the burial site of the two victims, we also found the murder weapon, a dagger. The preliminary diagnosis for the cause of death for both victims was stabbing by a sharp object."

A photo of a dagger, looking very ordinary, appeared on the projector.

"Because the scene was a small grove, coupled with the long passage of time and the heavy rain a while ago, there were no useful clues at the scene."

"Currently, the identities of the deceased have not been determined, and this is all the existing information."

Xiao Peng finished his statement and sat back down.

Guan Hongyuan continued, "Currently, we have too few clues. The Forensic Doctor also hasn't reached a complete conclusion yet. The main task now is to determine the identities of the two deceased and find out the relationship between them."

After speaking, Guan Hongyuan looked at Ye Lin, "Consultant Ye, do you have anything to say?"

Ye Lin waved his hand, "Team Leader Guan, just call me Ye Lin. I'll follow Team Leader Guan's command. I just want to see if I can go to the scene to take a look."

Guan Hongyuan said, "Sure, I'm also going today to see if anything was missed. Then let's go together."

"Everyone else, follow your original division of labor and get to work."

"Meeting adjourned."

...Yue Province University of Technology.

Guan Hongyuan, along with Ye Lin and Zhou Zhishen, arrived at the crime scene.

Yue Province University of Technology is an old established university in Yue Province. It used to be quite good, but in the past two years, it has been surpassed by other universities and has now withdrawn from the ranks of top universities, becoming a general undergraduate institution.

However, because it was established early, it still has some advantages in resources, such as its considerable land area. The school is backed by a mountain and has a large forest.

When Ye Lin and his team arrived, the area had already been cordoned off, but there were still many university students outside taking photos and videos, as such a bizarre case is rare.

Ye Lin looked at the grove. The trees were common, ordinary species, interspersed with a few ginkgo trees. They weren't very tall or dense; it was just an ordinary small grove.

Team Leader Guan greeted the police officer guarding the perimeter and led the two in.

Although the trees in the grove weren't tall, it was quite deep inside. The ground was covered with a layer of decaying fallen leaves, along with some drink bottles, tissues, and other debris.

Hey, Ye Lin even saw a few condoms. It seemed this grove had quite a few stories.

Guan Hongyuan looked at Ye Lin and smiled, "Officer Ye, you've seen it too, haven't you? This is indeed a place where these university students rendezvous. Young people, full of vigor, we've all been there."

Ye Lin smiled knowingly.

The further they walked in, the fewer the garbage and debris on the ground, and the thicker the fallen leaves became.

After walking nearly 50 meters inward, they reached the spot where the bodies were discovered.

A large pit, with a simple makeshift shed covering it.

Team Leader Guan pointed to the large pit and said, "The bodies were found here. A couple, seeking thrills, walked into this area. Perhaps due to the heavy rain before, some of the soil on the ground was washed away, exposing the skeletons underneath."

Ye Lin squatted down and observed carefully. The large pit was about two meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter deep. The remains inside had probably already been cleared out; besides the soil, nothing else was visible.

"We've searched for evidence inside. We only found some clothing fibers, which were no longer intact and couldn't tell us anything," Zhou Zhishen explained from the side.

Ye Lin nodded, secretly opened his system, and used [Hao Tian Quans Nose]. From the smell of the decaying leaves, he detected a faint scent of blood.

After more than three years, there was still a smell of blood. It seemed a lot of blood had been shed back then, likely having seeped into the soil.

"Can I go down into the pit to take a look?" Ye Lin looked up at Guan Hongyuan.

"Wear shoe covers. We should have finished investigating what needed to be. You can take another look," Guan Hongyuan said, pulling out a shoe cover from his bag and handing it to Ye Lin.

Ye Lin put on the shoe covers, jumped in, and squatted down to examine it carefully.

The two above exchanged glances, their faces full of disdain.

Just for show, as if he could find something. Forensics had already collected evidence; what else could there be?

He probably just wanted to make a show, so he would have something to say when claiming credit later.

Ye Lin squatted in the pit, closed his eyes, and concentrated on identifying the source of the blood smell.

It wasn't in the pit. He suddenly stood up, climbed out of the large pit, and began digging on the ground near the edge of the pit.

This action immediately caught the attention of Guan Hongyuan and Zhou Zhishen. Could this guy really have found something?

Ye Lin gently brushed aside the soil on the ground, revealing a small, dark red clod of earth from beneath the topsoil. He held it to his nose and sniffed; it was it.

Holding the clod of earth, Ye Lin said to the two, "This clod of earth contains human blood. It's very likely the victim's blood that dripped down at the time."

Zhou Zhishen, experienced, took it and sniffed, then nodded to Team Leader Guan and pulled out an evidence bag to put it in.

Guan Hongyuan smiled slightly and said, "Officer Ye, you're amazing to even find this. However, forensics has already collected a lot of blood from inside before. Let's take this back to forensics together and see if there are any new findings."

As a burial site, blood-stained soil is normal, so Guan Hongyuan didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was dropped by forensics earlier and wouldn't be of much help to the case.

Ye Lin understood Guan Hongyuan's meaning, but he didn't stop.

Instead, he slowly stood up and walked out little by little, stopping and starting, constantly sniffing.

"Team Leader Guan, what is he smelling?" Zhou Zhishen asked quietly, a little confused.

"Ah, I suppose so," Guan Hongyuan replied.

"This..." Zhou Zhishen was a bit speechless. "Three years have passed. What can he smell? Does he think he's a god just because he found one clod?"

"Who cares about him? Let him show off. I heard the director personally pushed him through," Guan Hongyuan said indifferently, silently watching Ye Lin, who was constantly adjusting his direction over there.
