As soon as Gao Dacheng spoke, everyone realized that something was wrong.
If Yoshiko Nishimura were truly a severe pollen allergy sufferer, it's impossible that she wouldn't keep these medications on hand.
Guan Feng asked, "Did you search the bag too? Is it in the bag?"
Gao Dacheng shook his head and said, "We've searched everything! Nothing!"
Guan Feng stopped Liu Shengguo and said, "Wait! Li Yang, I have one more question for you. Answer it carefully. If you help us solve the case, we can apply for a merit award for you. Do you understand the significance of these words?"
Li Yang nodded and said, "I understand! What do you want to ask? I will answer!"
Guan Feng opened his phone, showed Li Yang pictures of the medications, and asked, "Li Yang, when you committed the theft, did you see these medications? They should have been placed in a conspicuous place, like the bedside table or next to the pillow..."
As Guan Feng began to speak, Li Yang entered a state of reminiscence.
After a moment, he nodded and said, "I've seen it! It looks like this white bottle. It should have been on the bedside table."
Guan Feng asked, "Are you sure?"
Li Yang nodded and said, "I'm sure! Because I looked through the bedside table and found that there was not only one bottle on the table, but also two or three bottles inside. I was curious about what they were, so I took a closer look."
Guan Feng asked, "You said there were two or three bottles in the bedside table? How many exactly? Can you remember?"
Li Yang shook his head and said, "How could I possibly remember? I just glanced at it back then."
Guan Feng stared at Li Yang, not surprised by the ambiguous answer. In fact, it increased his credibility, since this was not his main task.
He asked Li Yang, "Are there any other details?"
Li Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's all! At the time, I was mainly looking for money, so I didn't really pay attention to these things."
Guan Feng nodded, indicating that Liu Shengguo could continue leading his men back to the Municipal Bureau.
After Liu Shengguo and Li Yang left, the office fell silent.
Guan Feng sat in the chair, pondering the possibilities. After a few seconds, he looked at Gao Dacheng and asked, "Was the trash can cleaned this morning?"
Gao Dacheng shook his head and said, "I don't know! Should we ask the logistics department?"
Guan Feng nodded.
Gao Dacheng dialed the logistics department's number.
One minute later.
Gao Dacheng hung up the phone and said to Guan Feng, "Captain, the logistics department said that the foreign teachers' apartment is usually cleaned up around noon!"
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Noon? Why is it taking so long?"
Gao Dacheng explained, "The logistics department said that the garbage truck used to come to collect garbage around 5 a.m., but after several foreign teachers complained, they changed it to noon."
Guan Feng said, "Let's go! Let's check the trash cans to see if there are any of these medications."
The group arrived at the trash cans in front of the foreign teachers' apartment building.
Three trash cans were lined up in a row.
Guan Feng told his men to put on gloves, and then he started searching again.
Five minutes later.
They found a bottle of medicine in the black trash can.
"Found it!"
Gao Dacheng said to Guan Feng with some excitement.
Guan Feng subconsciously glanced into the red building. Seeing that no one was watching, he said to Gao Dacheng, "Take the things back to the office and look at them! Also, notify the technical department to check if there are any fingerprints on them!"
"receive!"
Gao Dacheng took the spray bottle with him and followed Guan Feng into the office on the first floor.
Guan Feng looked at the bottle of white medicine and nodded, saying, "Now it seems Li Yang wasn't lying; this medicine was taken by someone."
Gao Dacheng asked, "But Captain...why is there only one bottle?"
Guan Feng said, "To be honest, I didn't expect to actually find it. This bottle of medicine may not necessarily have been left by the suspect; it could also be the spray that Nishimura Yoshiko used up. In any case, this clue further proves that what Li Yang saw really exists!"
"But the other party saw it but didn't take it away, which means that the real suspect entered and took away this life-saving medicine!"
Gao Dacheng said, "Captain, I think your judgment is more in line with the factory's assessment."
In other words, ordinary criminal suspects wouldn't be "stupid" enough to leave stolen goods near the crime scene.
Just like Li Yang did, he would definitely take this thing with him when he committed the crime!
They might even take it home and then find a place to throw it away, so that no one knows.
Instead of being foolish enough to throw it in the trash can by the door.
Guan Feng said, "Let's see how things go first! By the way, is Kato Hiroshi still in class?"
Gao Dacheng said, "Yes, he has two classes in the morning, so he has to wait until noon. We have already told him that we will ask him about it as soon as get out of class is over, and he said he will cooperate."
Guan Feng nodded.
At this moment.
Two personnel from the technical department arrived.
Guan Feng asked Gao Dacheng to hand over the bottle of medicine and instructed the two of them to test it.
Five minutes later.
Technical staff successfully extracted several fingerprints from the bottle.
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Are they a good match for Li Yang and Nishimura Yoshiko?"
The technician shook his head and said, "It doesn't match! This is a new fingerprint."
Guan Feng then ruled out the two possibilities in his mind.
As noon approached, Guan Feng noticed that everyone was still investigating the clues they had, so he asked Huang Lili to go buy lunch first. While patiently waiting for Kato Hiroshi to finish class, he ate a Shaxian duck leg set in the office.
Fifteen minutes later.
A young man with long, flowing hair and black-rimmed glasses walked into the office.
"You're looking for me?"
The other person asked in broken Mandarin.
Guan Feng looked at the other person and asked, "You must be Professor Kato?"
