Chapter 41: Chapter 41 I’m Really Not a Suspect
Hengli Gym.
Due to a homicide that occurred on the fourth floor of Hengli Company, the gym was also closed for the day on the 22nd.
That night, the lights were brightly lit.
Captain Hu Daqiang and officers like Shen Qianqian from Anling City’s Criminal Investigation Detachment rushed into the Hengli Gym.
“Captain, here, we’ve found traces of a blood reaction.”
One of the officers pointed to a corner of the gym where there was a dumbbell bench with several painted dumbbells stacked next to it.
But perhaps due to not being replaced for a long time, the surface of these painted dumbbells had slight rust.
Next to the dumbbell bench, spots of blue-green fluorescence emanated from the ground.
A blood trace reaction detected by Luminol reagent!
On one of the painted dumbbells, there was also a strong bloodstain reaction.
Hu Daqiang frowned, “That dumbbell is very likely to be the murder weapon!”
The forensic personnel immediately used a UV flashlight to check for the suspect’s fingerprints on it.
As expected.
Though there were sweat stains on the dumbbells, the gripping area made of rubber still allowed for partial fingerprint extraction.
The case finally made some progress!
Now, to compare the blood DNA on the dumbbell with that of the victim, and then compare the fingerprints.
This was an extremely important clue.
If possible, it could preliminarily lock down the crime suspect.
Even if it couldn’t lock down the crime suspect, there was a direction for the investigation.
Captain Hu looked at Shen Qianqian with slight relief, not sparing praise for the young detective, “You’ve been growing rapidly. Finding the primary crime scene is largely your credit.”
“Thank you for your praise, Captain Hu.”
Shen Qianqian smiled slightly, thinking that if credit was due, Lin Chuan should be acknowledged as well.
His “This Assassin Is Too Professional” provided a way of thinking about ‘fabricating a scene’, which indeed was of great inspiration.
If the case is solved, she should treat him to a meal.
But!
When the blood DNA test results and fingerprint comparison results came back, Shen Qianqian was utterly stunned.
The blood on the painted dumbbell was confirmed to be a complete match with the DNA of the victim, Zhao Lian.
But the fingerprints on the dumbbell made Shen Qianqian unable to believe her eyes.
Because, upon comparison within the database, they matched Lin Chuan’s fingerprints exactly!
Shen Qianqian’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she spaced out.
Night fell, the hazy moonlight filtered through the clouds and spilled onto the brightly lit police station.
The evening breeze carried the lingering spring chill, skimming over treetops, casting monster-like shadows, and then sweeping into the Criminal Investigation Detachment’s office, brushing past Shen Qianqian’s hair and whispering in her ear.
Could this be a coincidence?
But, was this just too much of a coincidence?
Suddenly!
An idea from Lin Chuan’s novel popped into her head: the Scapegoat Plan!
Upon investigation, Lin Chuan had fitness records at the Hengli Gym, so it was normal for his fingerprints to be on the dumbbell.
Shen Qianqian thought for a moment and dialed Xia Qingqing’s number, “Qingqing, help me check Lin Chuan’s IP activity times.”
…
The evening breeze also blew into Lin Chuan’s rented room, swirling around the narrow space, assaulting Lin Chuan back and forth and causing him to shiver.
“Achoo!”
Lin Chuan was covered in goosebumps, quickly rubbing his arms to ward off the cold.
Tonight.
Besides the audience clamoring for playing Police Number, Su Qianqian’s livestream promotion of her book to attract traffic was quite effective.
[Work: “This Assassin Is Too Professional.”]
[Status: Already launched.]
[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 1208/3000.]
Since the novel had a lengthy volume, it could not be read in a short time; therefore, the growth in average subscriptions did not seem so evident, but it was steadily rising nonetheless.
The following two evenings, Su Qianqian would continue to promote the book through livestreaming.
Tomorrow, the website would also arrange an exclusive promotion.
