Thud!
Thud!
In a quiet environment.
Guan Feng descended the steps.
He observed his surroundings as he went downstairs.
The smart glasses also automatically activate their functions, searching for any possible evidence.
3rd floor!
2nd floor!
We arrived at the first floor.
Guan Feng's brows suddenly furrowed.
At the edge of the steps, a dark red spot appeared. Guan Feng immediately squatted down, brought his nose close, and a faint smell of blood entered his nostrils.
"Bloodstains?"
Guan Feng frowned slightly and subtly surveyed his surroundings.
Thud!
Thud!
A series of footsteps approached.
Guan Feng straightened up and pretended to go downstairs.
Squeak!
The iron gate opened.
A middle-aged security guard walked in.
It was the same property management staff member I encountered while reviewing the surveillance footage.
"Hey? Officer Guan? What are you doing here?"
The property management staff noticed that Guan Feng seemed somewhat surprised.
Guan Feng glanced at the other person and explained, "The elevator was too crowded! So I took the stairs, which is good exercise! I think these stairs only go to the first floor?"
The property management explained, "This building doesn't connect to the underground parking garage; it only goes up to the first floor."
Guan Feng asked, "Who lives on the first floor?"
The property management staff simply replied, "The first floor? It's mostly our property management duty rooms. Officer Guan, why are you asking this?"
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Just asking! Okay, I'm going out now, you go about your business."
He then pushed open the iron gate and walked out.
Behind the door, the property manager watched the disappearing figure, his expression gradually darkening. Combined with the green light in the corridor, his entire face, especially his hooked nose, appeared dark and deep.
He had his right hand in his pocket, as if he wanted to pull something out and follow.
After a moment, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, glancing upstairs.
Thud!
Thud!
He climbed up the stairs again.
......
Outside the door.
Guan Feng stood close to the fire door, his expression somewhat serious.
Just now, when he was asking the property management a question, he noticed, thanks to his smart glasses, that the other person's hand was trembling slightly.
Considering the other party's sudden appearance in the stairwell, Guan Feng had a bold guess in his mind.
Wait patiently for a moment.
After the footsteps faded into the distance, he sent a message to Chen Xuewen.
A moment later.
Chen Xuewen arrived.
Guan Feng briefly explained the situation and then accompanied him to extract the bloodstain.
Guan Feng reminded him, "Captain Chen, you can do the bloodstain analysis. I'll continue the investigation!"
"OK!"
Chen Xuewen adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and left with the samples.
Guan Feng then went to the duty room.
Apart from the lobby, the entire first floor consists of property monitoring and duty rooms.
Two property management staff members were watching the screen when they heard Guan Feng open the door, and they quickly got up to greet him.
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I just came to check on the situation."
Two property management staff greeted us with smiles.
Guan Feng asked, "What do people usually do on this floor?"
"The first floor is where our property monitoring and duty room are located."
"Where do you usually rest?"
“We all have our own dorm rooms, right next door.”
"Oh? It's a single room?"
"No way! We're employees, not managers. We're two people per room."
"Everyone is?"
No, not exactly.
"How so?"
The two seemed hesitant to speak.
Guan Feng casually handed over two cigarettes and said, "It's just casual conversation! Don't be too nervous, and rest assured, our conversation will absolutely not be leaked, so you can say whatever you want."
"Maybe they'll say something useful that helps us solve the case, and that would make them a good citizen! They'd not only get a certificate of honor, but also a monetary reward, which they could use to set a good example for their children."
"Really?"
Both of them looked somewhat tempted.
Guan Feng said solemnly, "Please rest assured, as long as the information you provide helps solve the case, we will not hesitate to reward you."
A moment later.
The property manager on the left said, "Then I'll say it! Actually, there are only five dorm rooms on the first floor. Apart from Yan Yongjiang, everyone else is in a two-person room."
Guan Feng asked, "Why is Yan Yongjiang special? Is he related to the boss?"
The property manager on the right scoffed, "What relatives? Yan Yongjiang is a bit cunning; everyone's just a little afraid of him."
Guan Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
The property manager on the right said, "Let me put it this way, once a stray cat came into the house and stole the two fish he had just bought. Normally, we would just beat the cat up to vent our anger and that would be it, but Yan Yongjiang wouldn't!"
"He actually waited there for three days! He lured the cat over with fish, then killed it, cutting it up piece by piece! Can you believe how ruthless that person is!"
Guan Feng nodded, but the story was clearly not over yet.
"That would have been bad enough, but this old bastard actually treated us to meat, and after we finished eating, he told us it was cat meat, which he then slaughtered. Because of that, I threw up for three days, and for a while, I felt nauseous just looking at meat!"
Guan Feng: "..."
He paused, then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Hey! Well, there were a few other little things, all sorts of random things. Gradually, people didn't want to be around him anymore. Later, someone quit their job, and a room became available, so he lived there by himself."
Guan Feng asked, "Does this Yan Yongjiang have a wife and children?"
The property manager on the left nodded and said, "Yes! But his wife ran off with someone else, and his children aren't close to him either. Anyway, I've been working here for two or three years, and I've never seen his wife and children come to visit him."
Guan Feng nodded and asked a few more questions.
bite!
Chen Xuewen sent a message.
Guan Feng glanced around and said goodbye to the group.
Before leaving, the two property management staff seemed hesitant to speak.
"Officer Guan! Please don't spread what I just said. Yan Yongjiang is a bit strange, and we're a little scared."
Guan Feng reassured the two, saying, "Don't worry, the police will keep this a secret. Just be careful not to show any guilt, and there won't be any problems."
"Okay, okay."
"Thank you for the reminder, officer."
Both of them nodded.
Guan Feng then returned to the 4th floor.
Chen Xuewen handed over the lab report and said, "Team Leader Guan, these are the test results for the two drops of blood you mentioned earlier."
Guan Feng asked, "The same person's DNA?"
Chen Xuewen said, "That's right! It can be confirmed that the blood left in the stairwell is Liu Yufang's residue."
Guan Feng's expression turned completely serious.
The next moment.
He summoned the second group members to prepare for the arrest.
