Chapter 602 - Unromantic (2/2)

At this moment, everyone’s gazes were on this stand-in prep cook.

Feng Yingjun was so nervous that he faltered. “Detective, I’ve never been to the pool. I’m just a stand-in for my buddy… I won’t wander around the place unnecessarily…”

Bai Muchuan: “What’s your actual job?”

He lowered his head. “I’m also… also a prep cook…”

A prep cook prepares the ingredients and food for use in the kitchen, as well as routine and day-to-day tasks like stocktaking of food and replenishment.

Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “I get it now.”

Feng Yingjun just heaved a sigh of relief when Bai Muchuan turned to Quan Shaoteng.

“Bring this guy back!”

What? Quan Shaoteng was confused for a moment.

The rest of the people were also astonished.

It was obvious that the plump man who took the invitation and went to the pool was more suspicious. He also looked lecherous. There was also footage of him in contact with Xu Siqi. Hence, the possibility of him killing her was greater.

As for the prep cook, Feng Yingjin, he looked honest and seemed pitiful. No matter how many times they looked at him, they didn’t think that he would have the courage to kill someone.

Everyone was bewildered but Bai Muchuan was very firm and decisive.

“Take him to the pool, to the wall next to the ladies changing room to identify the first crime scene…”

To identify the first crime scene?

Upon hearing this, Feng Yingjun’s legs went soft and almost plopped down to the ground.

“Detective, I didn’t… Detective… please have mercy… I beg of you… I really didn’t kill anyone…”

“The evidence will do the talking. Just my words alone will not pin you to the crime. Let’s go!”

Feng Yingjun plopped down and sat on the ground.

The main hall was now filled with whispers.

The crowd had never witnessed that a case could be solved in such a manner.

As Quan Shaoteng and his men were taking the guy to the pool, many people came to Bai Muchuan. “Detective, how did you know that he’s the murderer?”

Bai Muchuan: “Wait for the police to make the official announcement. For now, he’s just a suspect.”

He nodded at the crowd and also headed to the pool.

Xiang Wan smiled and followed Bai Muchuan closely with the crowd watching.

“You’re really something! Sir Little Bai, how did you think of that?”

“Aren’t you the one who told me?” Bai Muchuan took at her, perplexed.

Huh? Xiang Wan was puzzled.

“Aren’t you the one who said that the possibility is higher for the murderer to be hiding amongst these people? Bai Muchuan smiled. “Because of that, I used the elimination method. That was all.”

Xiang Wan grunted a laugh. “I don’t think that was all.”

Bai Muchuan revealed a smirk. “Of course, my nickname as Sherlock Holmes of the East is not purely for show.”

Xiang Wan: “…”

He’s getting smug.

And complacent.

But she liked Bai Muchuan behaving like that.

He was elegant and stern as well as indifferent and serious. Confidence was all over his face. A confident man who was serious and took pride in his work was the most charming…

Xiang Wan’s gaze followed him. “The elimination method could prove that these two men are the most suspicious. But how did you ascertain that the thinner guy who didn’t go to the pool is the prime suspect, instead of the plump man who did go to the pool?”
