Everyone frowned.
No wonder the case was immediately transferred to their Major Crimes Unit.
The victim was a foreign teacher.
The person who discovered it was also a foreign teacher.
If nothing unexpected happens, since Kato Hiroshi contacted people in China, this case has already attracted the attention of some high-level officials, and even personnel from foreign embassies have taken notice. They certainly hope that Hua'an can solve the case as soon as possible so as to give the other party's family in China an explanation.
Guan Feng noticed the unease in everyone's eyes and reminded them, "Don't worry about the pressure. Just focus on the case. As long as you do your job well, I will communicate with the higher-ups about other matters. Don't tie your own hands."
"receive!"
"receive!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
I almost forgot, Captain Guan is known as Captain Guan 48!
Solving a murder case in two days can hardly be considered slow, right?
Even lightning speed!
Maybe the leaders specifically requested their third squadron because of this.
Everyone felt reassured upon hearing this.
soon.
The car drove into the gate of Huaan University of Technology.
The security guards at the school gate had been notified in advance. After checking Guan Feng and the others' identification and confirming that they were there to investigate the death of a foreign teacher, one of them led the way on an electric patrol vehicle.
Five minutes later.
Two police cars were parked downstairs at the dormitory building.
This is the teachers' apartment building on the east side!
There are two six-story buildings and a small red building.
Aside from some young teachers who haven't bought houses yet, the residents here are mostly foreign teachers.
When Guan Feng and his group arrived, the police officer on duty at the University City branch immediately came up and greeted them.
"You must be Captain Guan? Hello! I'm Qin Yang from the police station in the University Town area. I'm temporarily in charge of on-site security. You can call me Xiao Qin."
The other person was clearly no younger than Guan Feng, and could even be said to be two or three years older, yet he called himself "Little Qin" without any pressure. The reason was simple! Guan Feng was already a squad leader at a young age, and more importantly, he had a bright future ahead of him.
What about him?
He's still working at the grassroots level.
Guan Feng stepped forward to shake hands, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, asked, "Tell us about the specifics."
Qin Yang then led the group upstairs while explaining the case to them: "This morning, the station received a report that someone had died at the school. We rushed to the scene and found that the victim, Nishimura Miko, had stopped breathing. After a simple examination, we found that Nishimura Miko had been dead for at least six hours. Our people immediately cordoned off the scene."
"At the same time, considering the urgency of the case and the involvement of foreign nationals, we immediately reported the case and await your arrival."
"......"
With Qin Yang's introduction, Guan Feng and the others crossed the cordon and went to the second floor.
This is the small red building we just saw.
Three floors!
There are 5 rooms on each floor.
The 15 rooms were originally intended to house some of the school's most famous senior professors.
Later, these senior professors moved out one after another, and the rooms gradually became empty. A few years ago, the school leaders decided: since the rooms were idle anyway, they might as well use them to accommodate foreign teachers.
Guan Feng glanced around and into the hallway, then asked, "Are there any security cameras on site?"
Qin Yang shook his head and said, "No! All the surveillance cameras on site have been removed."
"Um?"
Guan Feng instinctively felt something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean? When was it demolished?"
Qin Yang said, "We just received the news. It was demolished about half a year ago. As for the specifics, we have already contacted Director Li from the School of Foreign Languages. She will be here soon, so you can ask her."
Guan Feng told Huang Lili to write down this suspicious point, and then followed the two to the second floor.
Room 201.
The west-facing unit of the entire building.
The scene has been cordoned off, and two or three police officers are inspecting something there.
Guan Feng reminded everyone to put on shoe covers before going inside.
It's not that he's meticulous!
However, the level of professionalism and technical expertise of grassroots units is certainly incomparable.
In case the clues are destroyed...
Guan Feng and the others entered the room.
What comes into view is the environment of a typical one-bedroom apartment.
One bedroom and one living room!
In addition, it has a bathroom and a kitchen.
Inside the bedroom, a long-haired woman was curled up in a ball. Her face, viewed from the side, showed great pain, clearly indicating that she had been in great distress before her death.
This was also mentioned in the case file report; the victim's death was quite gruesome.
Guan Feng asked, "The victim must have struggled before his death, didn't anyone hear his voice?"
Qin Yang shook his head and said, "We interviewed people around us as soon as we started our investigation, but Nishimura Yoshiko lives in room 201, and only Kato Hiroshi in room 202 is right next to her, and he didn't hear anything."
What about the first floor?
Guan Feng continued to ask questions.
Qin Yang shook his head and said, "The first floor is the office for foreign staff. No one lives there; it's vacant."
Guan Feng frowned, then strode into the bedroom.
The next moment.
A faint fragrance wafted over.
Guan Feng subconsciously activated his sense of smell, and the faint fragrance instantly became clear.
What does osmanthus smell like?
Guan Feng frowned, sniffed, and smelled the fragrance emanating from his nostrils. He looked around and began to search.
It is now the golden autumn season, a time when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. On the way here, the roadside was lined with blooming osmanthus flowers, which is quite normal.
However, the concentration was significantly higher in the bedroom.
There wasn't this concentration in the outer room or even the living room.
There's only one possibility then—osmanthus flowers have appeared in this house before! Or rather, they have appeared there in the past!
He looked at Qin Yang and asked, "Has this room been searched?"
Qin Yang nodded and said, "When we found the victim's body, we had already conducted a preliminary search of the scene, but..." Worried that he wasn't professional enough, he proactively explained, "The situation was urgent at the time, and although we searched carefully, we might have missed some places. Should we take this opportunity to search again?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant! Since you've searched, it's pretty much as you expected. Did you find any flowers?"
"flower?"
Qin Yang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What flower?"
Guan Feng said, "Osmanthus! Have you found any osmanthus flowers in the room?"
Qin Yang shook his head and said, "No! How big is it? Logically speaking, something this big shouldn't have been missed, right? Captain Guan, did you smell the fragrance of osmanthus?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "The fragrance of osmanthus in this room is stronger than in the living room or even outside. There must have been osmanthus in the room for a long time. We can search along this clue."
Qin Yang looked somewhat surprised.
This Captain Guan... can't be that amazing, right?
He sniffed around for a long time, but couldn't smell any osmanthus fragrance.
He looked at his fellow officers and found that they all had the same blank expression.
Looking across at the other side...
Good heavens!
What's the situation with the members of the Major Crimes Unit?
