The middle-aged man and woman were in the kitchen for only a few minutes.
After coming out of the kitchen, the woman asked to use the toilet, while the man stood at the entrance and started chatting with Chen Yan.
Knowing what these two people were planning, Chen Yan was too lazy to expose them, so he just smiled and chatted with the man.
It can be seen that this man and woman must have been carefully selected by the Municipal Bureau.
He has some acting skills and is also good at chatting. If it weren't for the reminder of "hope", Chen Yan might have really overlooked the fact that there was just a slight problem with his aura.
However, since "Hope" has exposed the identities of both of them, Chen Yan will naturally pay more attention.
He found that while the man was chatting with him, he had been observing the living room of the house intentionally or unintentionally.
And because no preparations were made in advance, the doors of both bedrooms in the house were open.
The man stood at the entrance and would change his position seemingly unintentionally from time to time so that he could look through the bedroom door and see the basic situation inside the bedroom.
After a few minutes, the sound of the toilet flushing was finally heard in the bathroom.
After the woman came out, she thanked Chen Yan, and then gave Chen Yan some instructions on the use of natural gas before leaving with the man.
Originally, Liu Xiaolu wanted to go with them, but Chen Yan kept her there.
Although Liu Xiaolu was embarrassed because of the presence of outsiders, she did not refuse Chen Yan's request...
After the couple left the building and the door was closed again, Liu Xiaolu bit her lip and said, "You tortured me yesterday, and I'm still recovering. Can you please let me go today?"
Chen Yan chuckled and said, "That depends on your performance. If you don't want to work too hard, that's fine too. Just use all your skills and maybe I'll surrender quickly."
"I really can't do anything about you. Go lie down. I have to go to the store to restock today. I don't have much time to fool around with you."
Chen Yan responded and happily lay down on the sofa.
Just as Chen Yan was pulling Liu Xiaolu to recharge, the man and woman had already walked out of the community.
The two parked their car quite far away, and had to cross another road after leaving the community.
"How strange, nothing was found. It's so clean... There's no lingering smell in the air, which is understandable. But if you want to dismember a body, you'd need basic tools, right? At least a blender or a bone crusher, right? Otherwise, how can you completely crush it into pieces and flush it down the toilet?"
The woman said with a puzzled look on her face.
The man frowned and said, "The living room and two bedrooms are also clearly visible. The furnishings are very simple, consistent with the daily life of a single man. If he cleaned up the house after dismembering the body, then this person is terrifying. And the tools used to dismember the body are actually not easy to deal with if you really want to.
I suggest that when we get back, we prioritize investigating any used blenders or bone crushers throughout the city. These items, even for personal use, are expensive. Almost no one would just throw them away; if they become obsolete, they'd likely be sold secondhand. If someone recently threw them away as trash, there would surely be a record of them at the landfill.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "What if we can't find any records? For example, we can just find a random warehouse and put it away. Unless something unexpected happens, it will almost never be discovered."
The man couldn't help but fall into silence. After a while, he arrived in front of the two people's car and got into the driver's seat. Then he continued, "Actually, judging from today's home inspection, the possibility of him dismembering the body at home is extremely small.
Even if we were to do something similar, if we were to dismember and discard the three bodies, it would be impossible to clean the scene so cleanly. Whether it's blood stains or minced meat, there will definitely be some omissions.
His living room and bedroom were covered with wooden floors, and his kitchen had a large window facing the building opposite, so according to common sense, if he really wanted to dismember the body, he could only do it in the bathroom.
And you checked the bathroom again, and there's no trace of anything, not even a trace of any odor. There's no scent of perfume, just air freshener. Anyway... I think we're heading in the wrong direction."
The woman sighed and said helplessly, "If we're still going in the wrong direction this time, I really don't know what to do. The task force has been set up for so long, and we haven't even achieved any progress, let alone solving the case. The higher-ups won't allow us to drag it out like this. Otherwise... why not just arrest the person first?"
The real suspect right now is Chen Yan. As for the others, after two months of investigation, it has been confirmed that they have nothing to do with the case. So why not just arrest them and interrogate them thoroughly? Maybe we can find some results? Once they're in, don't we have the final say on how to deal with them?
When the man heard this, an interested look immediately appeared on his face.
God knows how they have been getting through the past two months.
Under tremendous pressure, almost everyone in the task force suffered from insomnia.
In particular, the longer the time drags on, the greater the pressure they are under. Now, almost everyone is on the verge of collapse.
But in the end, there was still a trace of rationality left, and he was not swayed by the sudden impulse.
The man couldn't help but shook his head, and said painfully: "Chen Yan's identity is very sensitive. We can't use those methods on him easily. There are big shots behind him. He is not an ordinary citizen who can be manipulated at will.
If we really arrest him without any evidence, even if we interrogate him under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, it won't last very long. Without being able to resort to any means against him, a 24-hour investigation would be meaningless."
The woman also knew this, but she really couldn't bear the current pressure of the task force.
A desperate expression emerged on his face. Sitting in the passenger seat, he said with lifeless eyes, "Let's leave it to the leadership to decide. We don't have any other options. We've been keeping an eye on them but haven't gained anything. We've tried to visit them but haven't gotten any results either. We don't have solid evidence and can't pass it on. We're just wasting time and the higher-ups aren't satisfied. What are we going to do? All our avenues are blocked!"
The man started the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, let the leader decide."
