Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Outlaws? (2/2)

As a professional detective, Shen Qianqian often investigated various criminal cases, especially the murder cases that had recently increased in frequency.

Looking at Lin Chuan’s “This Assassin Is Too Professional” now, she couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.

She had expected Lin Chuan to write very professionally.

But these methods were indeed too professional!

The forensic knowledge it involved, as well as the demonstrated ability in crime scene processing, was likely even more sophisticated than that of veteran detectives.

If a few more details were perfected, one could basically conclude that this author was fully capable of committing the perfect crime in reality.

The ceiling of high-IQ crimes!

A lawless lunatic!

“Lin Chuan, you’re too much of a criminal!”

Shen Qianqian couldn’t help but mutter.

In her mind, she even wondered if the three murders in Anling City were related to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan had guessed right.

At this moment, everyone she saw seemed like a murderer.

However, this thought flashed through Shen Qianqian’s mind and disappeared.

Although Lin Chuan definitely had the potential to be a crime suspect, he seemed to lack a motive for crime.

Why would he go stabbing people when he could be writing novels?

To find inspiration?

“Thank you, Qingqing,” Shen Qianqian said with a smile. “The idea of fabricating a crime scene is very helpful for solving the case.”

Xia Qingqing smiled gracefully, “Remember to treat me to a meal if you solve the case. I have to go back and patrol the net.”

Shen Qianqian smiled and returned to the Criminal Police Brigade.

In the office hall.

Colleagues were still discussing a murder case that was discovered this morning.

The victim, a female, 30-years-old, an employee at Hengli Company, was found on March 22 at 7:13 am, at the reception area of Hengli Company on the fourth floor of Hengli Building, City East District.

Initial investigations showed that the victim had multiple collision injuries, and the fatal wound appeared to be an impact to the forehead, ruling out the possibility of suffocation.

At the scene of the incident, multiple walls and cabinet panels showed collision marks and blood evidence that matched the victim’s wounds.

However, a small amount of rust was found inside the victim’s fatal forehead wound, suggesting death by impact from a heavy iron object.

Beyond that, there were no further developments.

Captain Hu Daqiang of the Criminal Police Brigade glanced over the members and asked, “This month, three murders occurred in succession, causing a tremendous negative impact. The higher-ups have ordered us to solve the case within seven days, but we have no leads. What are your thoughts?”

After some thought, Shen Qianqian answered, “Captain Hu, we are currently investigating the victim’s social relations, but at the crime scene, I believe there are still some doubtful points.”

“Let’s hear them,” said Hu concisely.

“The crime scene is in Hengli Company, yet there are no signs of struggle, meaning that when the victim encountered the assault, there was no resistance whatsoever, which is illogical,” Shen Qianqian began with her preliminary speculation.

Captain Hu nodded.

Years of experience and countless crime scenes later, he knew that in ‘homicide’ cases, similar to being struck to death, there would typically be evidence of the victim’s struggle.

Shen Qianqian continued her analysis, “This suggests that there might be a situation where the scene has been tampered with, or rather, what we are seeing is not the primary scene.”

Captain Hu frowned, “Your guess, where is the primary scene?”

Shen Qianqian shook her head, “If the body was moved, then the primary scene should not be far from Hengli Company. We could try to extend the search; the storage room on the fifth floor, the beauty salon on the third floor, and Hengli Gym on the second floor could all be possible locations.”

Captain Hu nodded.

That night, the Criminal Police Brigade mobilized once again to search the floors above Hengli Company.

As expected!

The fourth floor of the Hengli Company was not the primary scene.

“We’ve found something!”

Shen Qianqian and her team detected blood evidence inside Hengli Gym.
