Chapter 77: A Series of Murders
Translator: 549690339
Pan City, Haifcng Road.
...Jiaheyuan District, Building 3, Room 202.
When Chen Yan and Ren Hongfeng arrived, there were already detectives at the scene.
” Team Leader Chen, Team Leader Ren.” Wang Jian’s face was livid.”I happened to be driving nearby. I received a call from the team and rushed over.”
” Team Leader Liang left from the team. It’s a little far from here. He’s still on the way.”
“Our colleagues from the nearby investigation team have already begun to investigate the scene.”
At this moment, Ren Hongfeng’s face was terrifyingly dark.
Chen Yan’s major discovery at the scene of Tan Xiaowen’s death had given Ren Hongfeng hope of solving the case.
However, Ren Hongfeng did not expect that just as the case over there had made progress, there would actually be a murder case here!
Chen Yan’s expression was not good cither. No wonder the system gave him an unprecedented 20 days. This was the longest case that Chen Yan had ever encountered since he activated the system.
This case reminded Chen Yan of the Bloody Cross Case.
A serial murder case.
However, compared to the Scarlet Cross Case, this case seemed to be more difficult.
On one hand, there were very few traces at the scene, and on the other hand, the murderer was more cautious.
In the Scarlet Cross Case, the murderer wanted to avenge his daughter. Everything he did was not to escape punishment, but to stall for time.
Even without the statement, some experienced detectives could track down Yang Chenghan and Xu Bin by tracking the muscle relaxants and destroying the video bus.
Chen Yan only sped up the process.
Chen Yan walked into the scene with a solemn expression, and his pupils suddenly constricted!
The deceased was lying on the bed.
Blood was everywhere.
The skin tissue on his face had also disappeared. The faint smell of alcohol was covered by the smell of blood, making it difficult to detect.
Chen Yan had already unlocked his sense of smell and sight gene locks.
Covered by the thick smell of blood, in addition to the smell of alcohol, there was also a faint smell of corpses that entered Chen Yan’s nostrils.
“Or concentrated sulfuric acid?” He looked at the dead man’s dark face.
Wang Jian nodded. “”It’s still concentrated sulfuric acid. The modus operand! is exactly the same as Tan Xiaowen’s case.”
“The facial tissue of the deceased disappeared, and then concentrated sulfuric acid was poured on him. The cause of death was determined to be blood loss.” “Can you confirm the identity of the deceased?” Chen Yan carefully examined the surroundings of the deceased. Images flashed in Chen Yan’s mind as if they were frozen.
The bed here was not as clean as Tan Xiaowen’s bed.
There was a lot of hair and dandruff on the wrinkled quilt.
The detectives in charge of the scene investigation were collecting evidence.
” The identity of the deceased has been confirmed.” Gao Meimei, female, 26 years old, receptionist of a beauty salon.”
“There was an ID card, a mobile phone, and some cash in the deceased’s bag.”
“The murderer did not try to hide the identity of the victim at all.”
“When was the time of death?”
“According to the formation of livor mortis and the degree of stiffness of the corpse, it should have been around 12 o’clock last night.”
Midnight?
It had been less than 24 hours since midnight.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a corpse stench in such a short period of time…
Frowning, Chen Yan left the bed and subconsciously walked to the bathroom. “”Who reported it?”
Wang Jian followed behind Chen Yan.”” According to the housekeeper’s statement, the deceased Gao Meimei hired her to clean the room every three days.”
Wang Jian handed the statement to Chen Yan.”” Besides, this isn’t the victim’s residence. Every time the housekeeper cleaned the house, she would find a lot of family planning supplies.”
” We also found quite a number of groups in the victim’s cell phone. The other party was working part-time.”
“A part-time job?” Chen Yan frowned slightly. Nest?”
Wang Jian nodded.”” We’ve already contacted Gao Mcimei’s workplace. She usually rents a house with a colleague and lives in the city center.”
In the washroom.
Chen Yan’s attention was once again focused on the floor drain.
” Team Leader Chen,” Ren Hongfeng felt a little strange. He followed Chen Yan’s gaze and looked at the floor drain.”The other party can’t be so arrogant, right?”
Haha.
Arrogant?
Chen Yan smiled.
The metal piece on the floor drain was the same as the one in Tan Xiaowen’s house. It was a little bright, and it was obvious that it had been touched.
” The other party isn’t arrogant.” Chen Yan turned around, and Wang Xuan, who was beside Ren Hongfeng, came forward with a pair of tweezers.”It’s possible. He just thought that hiding here would not be easy to find.”
Wang Xuan carefully placed the metal piece into the evidence bag and used the tweezers to probe the floor drain. Then, his face lit up.”Team Leader Chen, Captain Ren, we found it!”
A long and narrow scalpel was picked up by a pair of tweezers and placed into the evidence bag.
It was the same as the one found in Tan Xiaowen’s house. There was a cold glint and blood stains in the gap between the blade and the handle.
“This is the murder weapon?”
Chen Yan and the others turned around and saw Liang Gang enter.
” Team Leader Liang.” Ren Hongfeng took the evidence bag from Wang Xuan’s hand.”It’s the murder weapon!”
” Team Leader Chen found the murder weapon in the floor drain of the last victim’s bathroom. I didn’t expect the murderer to hide the murder weapon in the floor drain again.”
Liang Gang took the evidence bag and looked at the scalpel inside.”Xiao Chen, you really live up to your reputation. You found the murder weapon so quickly!” As a veteran detective, Liang Gang knew the importance of a murder weapon better than anyone else.
Among the cases he had handled before, there were a few cases where the murder weapon could not be found and the case could not be finalized.
Murder cases didn’t mean that the case would be closed just because the murderer was found and he admitted to it.
The most important thing was the integrity of the evidence chain.
The motive of the crime, the process of the crime, the weapon used, and even the means of transportation used by the murderer to escape, the hiding place, and so on.
They were all important links in the evidence chain of the case.
Chen Yan shook his head. “”You’re welcome. Captain Ren and the others actually checked the sink and sink.”
“It’s just that the details like the floor drain are too small and I missed it.”
Ren Hongfeng did not expect Chen Yan to still speak up for them at this time.” Team Leader Liang, Deputy Team Leader Chen not only found the murder weapon, but he also found a problem with the video at Tan Xiaowen’s house.” “Oh?” “What’s the problem?” Liang Gang was slightly surprised.
Ren Hongfeng gave a rough report of what had happened.”We’ve already arranged for the detectives to re-examine all the videos to see if they can find the person who tampered with the videos.”
After the investigation of the crime scene was completed.
Everyone returned to the meeting room, and Chen Yan went to the morgue with Ren Hongfeng.
Chen Yan had seen Gao Meimci’s body, but he had not seen Tan Xiaowen’s body.
After comparison, Chen Yan hoped to find some clues on this.
8 PM.
The meeting room of Pan City’s Investigation Unit was also the temporary office of the task force.
Liang Gang hosted the first case analysis meeting.
“Comrades, let’s start the meeting now!”
