The fourth house was a small one-bedroom apartment with an area of about fifty square meters.
The floor of the house and the coffee table in the living room were covered with a layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived there for some time.
After checking the living room, Lin Huang went to the bedroom.
The layout of the bedroom was very simple. There was only a bed and a bedside table. Directly opposite the bed was a built-in wardrobe with a one-meter-wide walkway in the middle.
There were no bedding or sheets on the bed. There was only a bare wooden bed with a mattress about 20 centimeters thick padded on top.
Apart from an empty bottle of face cream, there was only a layer of dust on the bedside table. There were three layers of drawers underneath.
After condensing the ghostly shadow into a solid state, he unscrewed the empty bottle of face cream and sniffed it. Then, he unscrewed it again and put it into a plastic bag before throwing it into the storage dimension.
After putting away the bottle of face cream, Lin Huang reached out and opened the top drawer of the bedside table.
There was only a half-used packet of tissues and a small unsealed bag of candy in the drawer.
After wrapping the two items in plastic bags, Lin Huang opened the second and third drawers, but the bottom two drawers were empty.
He looked down and checked under the bed. There was only a thick layer of dust under the bed.
After checking again and confirming that he did not miss anything, he turned around and walked to the wardrobe.
This wardrobe was very large and had a sliding door.
After opening the door on the left, the entire wardrobe was empty except for a few random hooks and hangers.
However, Lin Huang suddenly raised the corner of his lips.
Although there was nothing useful in the wardrobe, there was another clue – smell.
As soon as he opened the door of the wardrobe, a perfume smell came out of the wardrobe. This smell was completely different from the face cream that Lin Huang had smelled before. It was not the smell of any detergent, but perfume.
Lin Huang couldn't help but think of a female colleague of his on Earth.
That female colleague didn't like the smell of detergent on the clothes. Therefore, every time after the clothes were dried and hung back in the wardrobe, she would do something extravagant and spray the entire wardrobe with perfume again. What's more, she didn't use cheap perfume. It was the kind that cost a few thousand.
Because of this habit, she spent a lot of money on perfume. She spent more than 100,000 yuan on perfume every year. As soon as he entered her bedroom, he could smell the scent of perfume. It was coming from the closet.
It was obvious that the Brain Eater had a similar habit and it must have inherited it from its host.
Although the perfume in this world was more expensive than on Earth, the host of the Brain Eater was obviously a silver-level or even stronger. To a silver-level or gold-level, spending 100 million credit points a year on perfume was not considered extravagant.
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts, Lin Huang carefully searched the room again, but did not find anything else.
Lin Huang undid his transformation and walked out of the neighborhood. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past noon.
He didn't know if Yang Ling was still asleep or for some other reason, but she still hadn't replied to his message.
Lin Huang found a noodle restaurant nearby and had a bowl of ramen.
After lunch, he summoned the Viridian Wolf and headed to the Coalition government.
Liang Yin was having her lunch in the forensics room.
Lin Huang knocked on the door and asked, "What are you eating?"
"Large intestine rice!" Liang Yin glanced at Lin Huang and asked, "Why are you here again?"
"I've brought some clues this time." Lin Huang took out the evidence that he had obtained from the Brain Eater.
"What is this?" Liang Yin asked in a muffled voice as she ate her rice with meat and vegetables.
"I've found the last place where the Brain Eater stayed. These are the things she left behind after she moved. See if you can get any fingerprints." Lin Huang waved the plastic bags.
"Put them on my desk, I'll get them for you after I'm done eating." Liang Yin said with her mouth full.
Lin Huang placed the three plastic bags on Liang Yin's desk and sat down on a chair to wait for her to finish her lunch.
Five to six minutes later, Liang Yin finished her lunch and wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue. She then grabbed the three plastic bags and walked to the examination table.
"How did you find out where the Brain Eater stayed?" Liang Yin took out the items from the plastic bags and started chatting with Lin Huang as she examined them.
"When I was investigating the similarities between the four victims, I realized that they used the same program on their Emperor's Heart Ring to chat with the murderer. I then got my friend to find the location of the murderer's account, "Lin Huang explained while smiling.
"You have such a friend?" Liang Yin looked at Lin Huang and asked, "Can you get him to check on Sword Genius's real identity and contact number?!"
"No, you're invading my privacy." Lin Huang rejected her without thinking.
"Aren't you invading someone's privacy too?" Liang Yin pursed her lips and said.
"I'm investigating a case, I can't help it. Moreover, I'm investigating the Brain Eater. She's a monster, she doesn't have the privacy that the Coalition government citizens have, "Lin Huang explained in all seriousness.
"Hmph, I won't help you then." Liang Yin pouted and did not say anything else.
About ten minutes later, Liang Yin took the bag of candy that was the evidence and started eating it.
"Hey, that's evidence …" Lin Huang was speechless at Liang Yin's behavior. "Moreover, I don't know if it's edible."
"It's edible. I've checked, it's just normal candy." Liang Yin then waved the bag of candy at Lin Huang.
"I don't want it, you can have it." Lin Huang shook his head and rejected her 'kindness'. Seeing that she looked relaxed, he asked, "When will the results be out?"
"It's out already." As Liang Yin spoke, she took out a translucent piece of film that was the size of a palm and showed it to Lin Huang. There was a clear black fingerprint on it.
Lin Huang took a few strides forward and took the film from her.
"I'm not in charge of the fingerprint comparison, you'll have to look for the information department." Liang Yin then reminded him, "If she's a local in Luoxi City, you'll be able to find out her real identity within half an hour. If she's from another city, it'll take longer, maybe two to three days. "
"I understand, thanks!" Lin Huang took the film and left.
He did not go to the information department of the Coalition government, instead, he took a photo and sent it to Yang Ling.
After sending the photo, he immediately dialed Yang Ling's number.
Yang Ling picked up the call after the notification rang twice.
"What's in the photo you sent?" Yang Ling seemed to have just woken up as she was wearing a red sleeping robe. She asked curiously when the video call was picked up.
"Is the thing that I asked for this morning ready?" Lin Huang asked.
"I overslept, I just saw your message half an hour ago. I'm checking it now, it'll take a while." Yang Ling was embarrassed.
"Alright, help me check who the fingerprint belongs to. I just got the forensic to retrieve it from the evidence. If I'm not mistaken, the owner of the fingerprint should be the host of the Brain Eater, "Lin Huang explained.
"Alright, I'll do the comparison. Let's start from Luoxi City. If it's a local in Luoxi City, we should be able to get the result soon. "Yang Ling nodded and hung up the phone.
Soon after the call with Yang Ling ended, Lin Huang received a message from Yang Ling as he walked out of the Coalition government.
"The fingerprint belongs to this woman."
