Chapter 340 Cigarette Butts and Toothbrushes



Guan Feng patted Huang Lili on the shoulder and said, "Keep talking to Sister Chu."

Huang Lili, understanding the implied meaning in the song, pulled Chu Xiaohong aside and began chatting.

Guan Feng looked around the room.

This is a two-story villa.

Two floors!

The total area exceeds 200 square meters.

Guan Feng paced around the living room, and after a moment followed the faint smell of smoke in the air to the first-floor bathroom.

The first thing you see is a dressing mirror and a washbasin.

Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other items were neatly arranged on the sink.

Guan Feng glanced at the trash can; there were no cigarette butts inside.

He frowned slightly. Could he have smelled something wrong? That shouldn't be the case! His physical abilities had been comprehensively enhanced, making his sense of smell far more acute than that of an average person. He looked around, still not believing it, and finally his gaze fell on the toothbrush, which he touched.

The next moment.

His expression changed.

Nothing more!

Both toothbrushes had water stains on them.

Given the weather and the wind blowing through the open window, the water on the toothbrush will dry quickly.

There are water stains on it, so it's highly likely that someone used it this morning.

Both toothbrushes had been used, and considering Li Ge was still in the hospital...

A peculiar expression flickered in Guan Feng's eyes.

He continued looking at the other parts.

I carefully touched the inside of the wash cups again to make sure that only one cup had water stains inside.

Two people sharing a drink?

An intimate scene flashed through Guan Feng's mind.

He then strolled over to the adjacent shower room and carefully examined the traces of hair in the drain.

A moment later.

He found several hairs of varying lengths in the drain.

The longer, slightly yellowish hair was clearly Chu Xiaohong's; the shorter hair belonged to someone else.

Li Ge?

Guan Feng recalled the scene of meeting Li Ge.

His hair was noticeably longer and thinner.

My hair isn't that healthy.

Guan Feng believes this type of hair is more common in younger men.

He took a transparent plastic bag out of his pocket, stuffed two hairs into it, and then continued searching along the drain, finding a few more hairs and putting them in as well.

Then I went to the toothbrush and took some bristles.

A moment later.

He strolled back to the living room.

Chu Xiaohong's expression was clearly tense, and she even seemed a little distracted.

While talking to Huang Lili, she kept glancing towards the bathroom. She only breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw Guan Feng return. She stared at Guan Feng, as if trying to see if he had discovered anything.

Guan Feng walked over with a smile, sat on the sofa, and said to Chu Xiaohong, "Sister Hong, you seem a little nervous? Are you afraid that I discovered something just now?"

Chu Xiaohong shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? Why would I be nervous? I'm just a little worried about Li Ge."

Guan Feng asked, "How did the conversation go? Did it ease the tension a bit?"

Chu Xiaohong said, "We're all women, so naturally we have some common topics to talk about."

Guan Feng laughed and said, "Then you two continue chatting, I'll listen."

Chu Xiaohong was a little confused, but Huang Lili understood Guan Feng's intention and continued to talk to Chu Xiaohong about women's topics to lower Chu Xiaohong's guard.

At this moment.

Guan Feng seemed interested in a certain topic and subtly joined in, then looked at Chu Xiaohong and asked, "Sister Hong, speaking of which, relatively few women smoke. Do you smoke?"

Chu Xiaohong shook her head and said, "You don't smoke?"

Guan Feng asked, "You don't even smoke one or two of these occasionally?"

Chu Xiaohong nodded and said, "No."

Guan Feng asked, "So, is there anyone else living in your house?"

Chu Xiaohong seemed to realize something, her expression changed slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "No, why are you asking this?"

Guan Feng said, "It's nothing, Sister Hong, don't be nervous. It's just that I'm quite sensitive to smells, and I smelled a bit of smoke just now. I wonder if you could explain it to me?"

Chu Xiaohong seemed relieved upon hearing this and said, "What's there to explain? It's okay for me to have a couple of puffs now and then, right? Even if I don't smoke, if guests come over that have nothing to do with the case, I can't possibly report it to you one by one, can I?"

Guan Feng said, "Of course we don't need these. Alright, since Sister Hong doesn't want to say anything, we won't force her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaohong stood up and said to the group, "If there's nothing else, I won't keep you any longer. I have business to discuss later." She prepared to see them off.

Guan Feng, seeing this, was not angry. He stood up and said to Chu Xiaohong, "Alright, we'll contact you again if anything comes up."

Chu Xiaohong said with a straight face, "It's best not to."

Guan Feng just smiled and said no more.

The group left the villa and got into their car.

Liu Keming asked, "How was it? What did you find?"

Guan Feng pulled the few hairs out of his pocket and said, "I smelled smoke in the living room just now. I went to the bathroom and found water stains on two toothbrushes. It's highly likely that two people brushed their teeth this morning."

"Two people brushing their teeth?"

Liu Keming frowned and asked, "Xiao Guan, are you sure?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Most likely. These are the bristles I extracted, and these are the hairs I found. Captain Liu, have the technical department test them to see who they belong to. The smell of smoke in the bathroom is most likely left by the other party."

Liu Keming took the transparent bag, looked at it against the sunlight, and said, "Hair? Xiao Guan, well done!"

Guan Feng said, "Then let's get it tested first?"

Liu Keming said, "I'll call Lao Wang and ask him to prepare for the tests."

Seeing this, Guan Feng said, "Then let Zhao Yang take it back. Zhao Yang, you can take us to the film set first, and then you can drive back and send this document to the technical department."

Liu Keming asked, "Are you planning to take another look at the site?"

Guan Feng said, "After questioning Li Ge, Wu Xian and others, I have a general idea in mind. It's time to go to the scene and see if I can find anything by getting a closer look."

Liu Keming said, "Then let's go together. I've never been to the site before either."

Guan Feng glanced at his watch and reminded everyone, "Shouldn't we all eat first?"

Liu Keming said, "It's noon now. Okay, let's tell everyone to eat first, and then continue the investigation. Zhao Yang, you too, send Mao back and don't rush back. Eat in the canteen first, and then come to the film crew to meet us."

"receive!"

Zhao Yang nodded and started the car to take the group to the film set.
