Chapter 58: The Killer Is Very Cunning

Translator: 549690339

The container truck was very ordinary. It was an ordinary 4.6-meter van with an empty driver’s seat.

...

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Chen Yan opened his olfactory and visual gene locks.

The smell of frozen meat was very strong, and there was the smell of blood.

It was probably because the car had lost its power and could not be cooled, so the frozen meat in the car had softened.

In addition, there was a faint burnt smell that alerted Chen Yan.

The car wasn’t burnt, so why was there a burnt smell?

After carefully circling the carriage, Chen Yan frowned.

…..

Open the carriage to check?

There was no need!

Why?

It was impossible for the other party to move all the frozen meat down, hide it, and then move the frozen meat in when they were escaping.

There wasn’t enough time, and he couldn’t stand the low temperature.

Therefore, Chen Yan carefully checked the side of the carriage.

Hah!

An inconspicuous tab caught Chen Yan’s attention.

At the front of the carriage, hidden at the bottom.

How could there be a pull ring in this place?

“Everyone, stand back!”

Chen Yan did not pull the ring rashly. Instead, he found a long rope and carefully tied it to the ring.

Everyone retreated. Chen Yan hid behind a pillar and pulled the long rope.

Kacha!

A light sound rang out.

There was no danger mechanism as expected. After pulling the ring, a hole popped out on the side of the carriage!

Chen Yan guessed right.

There was indeed a hidden compartment in the container truck.

The carriage was divided into two spaces. The outer space was about four meters long and was an ordinary container.

However, there was still a 60-centimeter-wide hidden compartment on the side of the carriage.

Unlike the rough secret compartment of the moving company, this secret compartment could be opened from the side for easy access.

It was just that the mechanism was ingenious and difficult to discover.

The moment the side door of the carriage opened, a strong burnt smell wafted into the air.

At the same time, there was also the fragrance of roasted meat.

Barbecue?

The people present were all senior detectives.

As soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was not a good thing.

Don’t tell me you’re hoping that the other party will make you a skewer of mutton?

Therefore, it was self-evident why there was the smell of roasted meat.

Inside the carriage was a charred corpse.

It wasn’t that they didn’t burn the scene, but they didn’t burn a car. Instead, they burned the secret compartment where they used to hide.

Although the body was charred, most of the remains were still there, and some of the clothes were still there.

Yellow jacket…It was the work uniform of the beef processing plant.

Chen Yan frowned. The enemy was indeed very cunning.

This clue about the container truck was basically completely cut off.

The driver had been killed, and the secret compartment they had been hiding in had been burned. Although it was not serious, it was not a problem to burn the dandruff and hair they had left behind.

Moreover, Chen Yan observed the color of the carriage in the secret compartment.

The parts that weren’t blackened were actually bright blue.

The truck was made of steel, and the color indicated that it had been roasted at high temperatures.

If his guess was correct, the other party had used a high-temperature spray gun to roast the carriage before burning it.

If that was the case, there would be no valuable clues left behind.

Even though Chen Yan had opened his vision gene lock, he did not find anything valuable.

As for the driver’s cause of death, it was very simple.

Gunshots!

He was shot in the vest, one fatal shot.

From the wound of the deceased, Chen Yan could confirm at a glance that it was an 8.6mm pistol bullet.

A shell was left in the carriage.

Wang Shun used a pair of tweezers to pick up the shell.” Police firearm. There’s a mark on the shell. It’s the pistol that was stolen!”

It was obvious that after the other party opened the side door of the container and turned around, he was shot from behind.

The bloodstains on the ground were buried with cement.

In the conference room.

Chen Yan stared at the case analysis board and tried to deduce the case.

If I’m the murderer, why did I kill the driver?

The driver is my accomplice. He infiltrated the beef processing plant three months ago and is our guarantee of a safe retreat.

But why did I kill him after he escaped?

He did not hesitate to shoot from behind.

This was premeditated. The driver had to die.

Why?

It was very simple. He was alive to leave a clue for the detectives.

The matter of the container truck could be hidden for a while, but it could not be hidden forever.

The other party would find out sooner or later.

Therefore, the driver must be abandoned!

This was a script that had been designed long ago.

Of course, although the driver was dead, his identity had not been found out yet. This had to be followed up.

Although there was a high chance that he would not be able to make much progress in the case, it might still be useful.

“How’s the purchase of the high-altitude drones going?”

Wang Shun looked at Chen Yan with admiration.

Although there was no clear clue now, the other party had only been here for less than a day and had already found so many clues. There was hope for the case!

Wang Shun handed Chen Yan a stack of notes. “”I just found out that in the past six months, a total of five people have purchased high-altitude drones.”

“Three of them are cameramen from the television station, and the high-altitude drones are also used by the television station.”

“Every time they use it, there’s a record. We basically rule out the possibility of them committing a crime.”

Chen Yan nodded. It was a public thing, but he committed a crime for private use…

…..

“What’s the situation with the other two?”

Wang Shun handed over two pieces of paper.” One of them is called Hong Tao. He runs a drone enthusiast club.”

“The other is called Zhang Zhen. He owns a drone rental shop.”

A drone enthusiast and a drone rental shop?

“Tomorrow morning, immediately investigate these two people, especially Zhang Zhen. I want the rental records and tenant information of all the drones in his shop!”

Looking at the time, Chen Yan continued to make arrangements.”Captain Wang, arrange for everyone to rest first and recuperate. There will be a tough battle tomorrow!”

It was already 12:30 in the morning.

The case analysis was all in Chen Yan’s mind, and the investigation could not be carried out in the middle of the night.

This was especially true for the two buyers of the drones. After all, they were only investigating, not interrogating.

It wasn’t appropriate to go to someone else’s house in the middle of the night.

Instead of everyone pretending in the office, it was better to rest and recuperate to fight tomorrow.

In the guest house of the Detective Squad of Iron City.

Wang Shun had definitely arranged the best room for Chen Yan.

After taking a shower, Chen Yan, who was lying on the bed, opened WeChat on his phone.

“I wonder if the little sister is asleep?”

Chen Yan decided to send a message.

“Good night!”

“Good night ~”

He still replied instantly.

“Yunyun…Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Aren’t you awake too?”

Shen Yunyi stared at the screen with a smile on her face.

“Silly girl, you’re still playing with your phone in the middle of the night. Go to sleep!” Today, Shen Yunyi went home to be with her parents.

“Yeah, I’ll chat with Chen Yan for a while and go to bed immediately.”

Chen Yan?

When Wang Meifang heard that her precious daughter was chatting with her future son-in-law, her attitude immediately changed.”Xiao Chen is on a business trip. Tell him to pay attention to his safety.”

Shen Yunyi nodded. She had to pay attention to her safety. Her stinky brother was a little handsome. Who knew how many people would miss him!

Tilting her head, Shen Yunyi started typing.”Which hotel are you staying at?”

Which hotel?

Chen Yan was so smart that he knew what Shen Yunyi meant.

Hehe.

“Red Romance Hotel!”

Red Romance?

Shen Yunyi frowned. This name…It was a little indecent.

“Let’s change to another one. This hotel name doesn’t sound good…”

” Haha, I’m just teasing you. I’m staying at the Department of Investigation Services ‘guesthouse. The people sleeping next door are all detectives, so it’s safe.”

Shen Yunyi’s furrowed brows relaxed.”Then, among the people sleeping next door… Are there any police beauties?”

Chen Yan was speechless..
