Chapter 1170 - Why Was His Hair Messy? (1/2)

Nian Xi thought for a moment, feeling that the atmosphere tonight was actually nice.

She decided to reply to him with—Thank you for dinner.

Jiang Yuning—You’re welcome.

The next day was Sat.u.r.day. Nian Xi and Fang Qi went to walk, as always. In the morning, Nian Xi told Fang Qi about the carbon powder.

“I met Professor Jiang yesterday and asked him about it. He didn’t say one word to me. How come he told you?” Fang Qi complained.

“Is that the same thing? You’re a guy, I’m a girl. Also, are you as pretty as I am?” Said Nian Xi coldly.

Fang Qi didn’t know how to respond to that, so he said, “Duan Yang had carbon powder under his nails. It’s highly possible he was killed in the lab, where he spent most of his time in. But I’ve already done a search of the lab. No carbon dust was found at all.”

“It means the place has been cleaned,” Nian Xi made eye contact with him and then added, “I think we need to visit the lab again without colleagues from the technology department. Anyway, I think we’re now sure he was killed on campus. The murderer was probably working on the same project with Duan Yang.”

Fang Qi agreed. At last, the two of them found four suspects. They were Yang Wenzhi, Zhao Yi, Wu Siyan, and Han Zheng, who was Duan Yang’s tutor.

The first three were all Han Zheng’s students. Zhao Yi was the only one who was actually working with Duan Yang, but the other two had spent a lot of time in the lab as well.

Later that morning, they brought the people from the technology department to the lab where Duan Yang had been working.

Nian Xi carefully looked into every corner of the lab, then found that the floor near the experiment table was especially clean.

She immediately asked the technology department people to examine the area carefully. Soon, traces of blood were found in the area.

Further tests were needed to determine the ident.i.ty of the suspects.

After that, Nian Xi found the murder weapon in the lab. She focused on work, until the voice of Fan Chen, who came from the technology department, was heard, “I’m sorry, police officers are working here. You can’t come in. Did you come here to deliver food? To whom? Nian Xi?”
