Chapter 107 Comparison
"The first one is different." After speaking, Luo Li circled the top corner of the desk in the photo with her hand.

"The frame is gone?"

Ji Si'an leaned forward, his face almost touching the computer monitor. "Quick, quick, zoom in here and see what's in the photo frame."

Yuan Muyiyan moved the mouse to zoom in on the photo....

Due to the pixels, the photo frame is very blurry, and only the outline of the photo in the photo frame can be vaguely seen.

"It's like a purple garden." Ji Si'an said.

"No, it should be bigger than the garden. It feels like the depth here is purple." Yuan Mu analyzed.

"Purple flowers... lavender... could it be lavender?"

"It must be lavender, it must be it...."

Luo Li excitedly grabbed Yuan Mu's arm.

The suspect Luo Li met ten years ago smelled of lavender... and the photo of Yang Xiu's home with lavender was lost... Is there any connection between them?

Ji Si'an looked at the photo carefully, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that this part of the photo frame is blocked by Yang Xiu's body, otherwise we should be able to get more information."

Yuan Mu continued to process the photos. "Look here. What does the small corner exposed here look like?"

"Like a few iron pipes... why are the iron pipes hanging in the air?" Luo Li felt quite a headache.

"I've seen this thing before." Ji Si'an said after simulating the shape of the iron pipe with a pen.

"What is this?" Yuan Mu and Luo Li asked at the same time.

"It's a wind chime. A simple wind chime, the mountain wind blows through and makes a tinkling sound, which is very pleasant to the ear. Usually only businesses hang it like this. Ordinary people rarely hang it in their homes."

Ji Si'an paused for a moment, but continued to add: "Anyway, no one in our hometown would hang it. Grandma said that this thing attracts ghosts..."

Luo Li gasped, rubbed her arms and blamed, "Can you stop being scary. I feel so cold right now."

"If it's a wind chime, it's probably a house, and it's a store."

"Yang Xiu wouldn't take such a photo for no reason. There must be something wrong with this store."

Yuan Mu was delighted with their discovery.

"Just knowing what's the use of these, we don't even know what this store sells." Luo Li didn't dare to be optimistic.

"Huahai... put in so much effort to grow such a large area of ​​flowers, it must be to make money. I guess the store may sell drinks, ice cream, etc., or it may be..." Ji Si'an paused at this point, she looked Xiang Luoli murmured: "It may also be a store selling essential oils and aromatherapy...."

At this time, Luo Li also thought of it. "Lavender... shop..., a large sea of ​​flowers, this publicity effect... This is probably a shop selling lavender products."

"I will never forget that taste."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have reached a conclusion, Yuan Mu couldn't help but reminded: "There can't be conclusions. What you firmly believe may not be true. People always have limitations, and what you see is only what you want to see. What you feel is also limited by your senses...."

Luo Li remained silent. She knew that ten years had passed, and it would be hard for people to fully believe what she said about the situation back then.

Ji Si'an didn't want the two sides to continue the stalemate because of this, so he said: "Let's not worry about whether this is a store. Let's find this place first and then discuss other things. Such a large sea of ​​lavender flowers should be found soon."

Yuan Mu came back to his senses and felt that what he just said was inappropriate. "Xiao An is right. Let's follow the clues and investigate first, and we will find the truth."

"Come on, let's continue to find the difference." Luo Li had already started a new comparison as she said.

After a while, Yuan Mu kept zooming in on the glass plate in the two photos.

"Is it a problem with the angle of the photo? Why do I feel that the lower right corner of the glass plate is more protruding here than in the previous photo. It looks like someone has moved it."

Ji Si'an pointed to the top of the desk and said, "It's not about the angle. Someone moved it. You can see that the corner of the map is crooked. Someone took something from under the glass."

"It can't be a photo again, right? It's a pity that the things under the glass plate can't be clearly seen in the old man Wang's photo." Luo Li said regretfully.

"It seems that the person who entered Yang Xiu's room later took away all the relevant evidence. No wonder the police found nothing when they investigated again later."

"This person is likely to be the murderer."

"He has to be found."

Luo Li clenched her fists, she still felt that Yang Ping's case was also done by the Luqiao killer.The disappearance of reporter Yang Xiu (Yang Siqi) is the key to the mystery.

Next, they compared the two photos inch by inch but found no clues.

It was getting late, and Yuan Mu had to rush back to the criminal police team, so he left first.

Ji Si'an didn't speak, and Luo Li stayed on her own.It seems that her parents did not know about the investigation of the case.

"Aren't you asleep yet?" Ji Si'an said after washing, looking at Luo Li who was still leaning on the bed and staring at the photo in a daze.

"I can't sleep." She described each item in the photo with her hands, and outlined the appearance of the house in her mind.

"What's the date today? Shouldn't it be time to prepare the report for the end of the month? I've been so busy all day that I forgot." Ji Si'an turned on his phone to check the date.

Ji Si'an's words reminded Luo Li.She picked up the photo and looked at it carefully again.

"That's not right. Old man Wang Ren said that he took the photo from the end of October to the beginning of November. But the date on the calendar is not..."

"Maybe the old man made a mistake, or Yang Xiu forgot to look up the calendar." Ji Si'an leaned over beside Luo Li to look at the desk calendar in the photo.

"August 2006, 8?"

"This day is a bit far away."

Ji Si'an's brain was running fast, what does this date represent?Did he forget to throw away the old calendar, or does it have a special meaning?

"The calendar is so neatly placed on the desk. It's not forgotten to throw away. It must have some special meaning," Luo Li said.

"Is it a password?"

"He is too young to use this method to assist memory."

Ji Si'an raised a question, but immediately denied it himself.

At this time, Luo Li suddenly ran to the living room and pushed the whiteboard to the bedroom. "Do you think something is missing?"

Ji Si'an stared at the whiteboard and twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's been a year. I thought it was because the police were chasing him so hard that he didn't dare to commit any more crimes. From this point of view, it's also possible that he didn't get caught for his crimes."

Rollie writes the timeline on the whiteboard with a pen.

On November 2001, 11, a large number of stray cats and dogs were found dead.

On May 2002, 5, several incidents of girls being sprayed with dye occurred.

On September 2003, 9, there was a case where a passing woman was needled.

On May 2004, 5, a woman was followed.

On June 2005, 6, several cases of students being followed into their homes and stolen occurred.

In September 2007, the girl was raped.

"Judging from his crime pattern, it doesn't make sense to spare a year. It seems that something should have happened on August 2006, 8."

"We look up the news that happened that day, maybe we can find clues."

The more they analyzed, the more excited they became, and they couldn't sleep after seeing this sleep.
