Chapter 45: Chapter 45 This is a different price

In the gym.

Shen Qianqian rarely showed a smile, “Lin Chuan, I’m just amazed at your ability to immerse in reasoning. The thought of kidnapping you was fleeting.”

Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched as he hastily waved his hands, “Officer Shen, you have to trust your author’s fans.”

“Since when did I become your fan?” Shen Qianqian was taken aback.

“You subscribed to everything, which, in my book, means you’re a fan,” Lin Chuan laughed.

Having subscribed to everything, what else could it be if not being a fan?

Shen Qianqian’s eyes flashed with an unusual color as she gave a bitter laugh, “If you put it that way, then sure. Your book ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’ is indeed professional, and so are you!”

It was rare for Lin Chuan to receive recognition from Shen Qianqian, and he grinned with a smile.

Lin Chuan concluded his analysis here.

Hu and Shen knew what they had to do.

They immediately contacted the criminal investigation squad to conduct a thorough search of the fifth floor.

The fifth floor housed Hengli Company’s warehouse.

At the end of the corridor was the bathroom.

In the small utility room next to the bathroom, investigators found a newly opened but nearly empty bottle of disinfectant at the very bottom.

That alone was not enough to serve as evidence.

The warehouse manager of Hengli Company hurried over, unlocking the warehouse for the police.

This time.

The investigation work was personally conducted by Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan first took a look around the warehouse.

Two windows here were open, there was no unusual smell inside, and there wasn’t much dust on the floor—it looked like it had been wiped clean. The bottoms of the stacked cardboard boxes also appeared slightly damp.

Lin Chuan scrutinized these cardboard boxes over and over.

In his mind, he imagined a 30-year-old woman facing an attacker and thought about how she might resist and try to escape.

An abstract approach to solving the case!

Finally, Lin Chuan’s mouth curved into a smile.

He had successfully immersed himself into the scenario!

On one of the stacked cardboard boxes in the corner, he found an indentation from an impact.

“How’s it going?”

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and asked.

Lin Chuan didn’t speak but instead stepped out the door, studying the lock on the warehouse.

The door lock of the warehouse was of super B-grade core, with no signs of having been tampered with.

Afterward.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath and looked at Shen Qianqian, “This place is the primary crime scene.”

Shen Qianqian, Hu Daqiang, the detectives present, and the warehouse manager of Hengli Company, were all shocked.

This place is the primary crime scene?

The detectives immediately detained the warehouse manager.

Shen Qianqian inquired, “How can you be sure this is the primary crime scene?”

Lin Chuan smiled and pointed to the open windows, “Officer Shen, this place stores cardboard-boxed goods with moisture-proof labels, yet during the damp weather of March, those two windows were wide open. I have reason to suspect it was to allow the disinfectant’s scent to dissipate more quickly.”

Under normal circumstances.

With the windows open for ventilation, the disinfectant’s smell could evaporate clean in about 1 to 3 hours.

But in a closed environment, its pungent odor could linger in the air for a long time.

Shen Qianqian nodded and then said solemnly, “This deduction is indeed plausible.”

Lin Chuan continued to explain, “This is a warehouse, yet the floor is exceptionally clean, and the bottoms of the cardboard boxes are slightly wet. It’s very likely someone wiped the place down. Besides that, I also found this cardboard box.”

A cardboard box with a dented side suddenly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The dent in the cardboard box looked like an impact from a dumbbell.

Hisss!

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, then expressions of surprise spread across their faces.

If the material of the dumbbell could be detected on the cardboard box, matching the dent from its impact, or if the victim’s DNA were found, this would be the primary crime scene.
