Window latch!
It's a window latch!
No wonder he searched for so long without finding anything unusual, because there was nothing unusual at all. Only that strange sense of incongruity made his mind go on alert, but this kind of alert was something that the smart glasses could not recognize.
He quickly entered Shang Nana's bedroom, looked at the window latches, and found that there was indeed rust at the joints.
Considering Chairman Shang's net worth, such a situation is simply impossible, and as far as I could see, the fasteners in the other rooms did not show such signs of rust.
He instructed the technical department to continue examining the traces, and then went downstairs.
Under Gao Dacheng's guidance, Shang Wanting was receiving targeted training in her speaking skills, while Huang Lili offered pointers from the side, covering everything from speaking speed to tone of voice. Everything was progressing smoothly...
The two noticed Guan Feng hurrying down, and Gao Dacheng quickly stopped what he was doing and asked, "Captain, is something the matter?"
Guan Feng nodded and looked at Shang Wanting, asking, "Chairwoman Shang, there are some things I'd like to ask you."
Shang Wanting said, "If you have any questions, Captain Guan, please feel free to ask. I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."
Guan Feng said, "Is the window latches in the villa inspected regularly? How often are they replaced?"
Shang Wanting said, "Sister Jin is in charge of all of this. I'm not quite sure about it yet. Shall I ask her?"
Guan Feng said, "Okay! Please call Sister Jin over; this matter is very important."
Without hesitation, Shang Wanting called out to Sister Jin: "Sister Jin! Sister Jin!"
A woman in her fifties came out from behind the living room on the first floor of the villa, walked up to Shang Wanting, and asked, "Ms. Shang, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shang Wanting looked at the other person and pointed to Guan Feng, saying, "This is Captain Guan of the Major Crimes Unit, who is in charge of Nana's case. He has some questions for you, so you must answer them carefully and not hide anything."
Jin Jie said somewhat nervously, "Okay, I...I know."
Seeing that Sister Jin looked a little nervous, Guan Feng said, "Don't be nervous. We just want to ask you some questions. You're the one who regularly replaces the items in the villa."
Sister Jin nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Guan Feng asked, "How often do you usually replace the windows and latches in the villa?"
Sister Jin said, "Three months."
Guan Feng asked, "Should we replace only the broken ones, or replace them all?"
Sister Jin said, "They were all replaced."
Guan Feng frowned.
It is definitely not normal for window clips to rust after only three months.
He asked, "Have you noticed Shang Nana's bedroom?"
Sister Jin nodded and said, "You mean the rust on her window latches?"
Guan Feng said, "That's right! You saw it?"
Ms. Jin said, "The young lady doesn't like to open the windows. She has rhinitis, and the room needs to be kept humid, so the clips are easy to rust. Every time we replace them, there are marks on her window clips. We used to replace them every six months, but we shortened it to every three months because of the young lady's window clips."
Guan Feng nodded and continued, "You said she doesn't like opening windows?"
Sister Jin said, "Yes, the young lady basically never opened the window, and the latches were never moved. In addition, the room was damp, so the joints often rusted. When we replaced them, the window latches in the young lady's room were always the worst."
Guan Feng suddenly realized, but at the same time, a huge question also arose in his mind.
That means if the other party wants to enter the room without anyone noticing, they have to climb in through the window, and the window has to be open. Otherwise, no matter what method they use, they will definitely leave traces.
Guan Feng looked at Shang Wanting and asked, "Chairwoman Shang, are you sure the surveillance footage from the front and back doors last night didn't reveal anything?"
Shang Wanting said, "The officers at the branch office asked before, and they didn't hear any sound."
Guan Feng said, "If that's the case, then it's strange now. Shang Nana rarely opens the windows, and the locks are always fastened. If the other party didn't come in through the front or back door, then they must have come in through the window."
Shang Wanting seemed to remember something and said, "Ah! I just remembered something. It seems like someone set off fireworks last night, not far from the villa. Nana should have been able to see them from her window. Could it be that she opened the window then?"
Guan Feng asked, "Fireworks? How far away are they?"
Shang Wanting said, "A few hundred meters, I guess? Anyway, I can see it quite clearly."
Guan Feng frowned again: "Since the city banned fireworks and firecrackers six years ago, very few people have set them off, let alone do something like this so suddenly!"
He looked at Gao Dacheng and said, "Dacheng, you and Lili continue to work on mental preparation with Shang Dong! I'll have Zhao Yang make a trip there."
He dialed Zhao Yang's number.
Zhao Yang rushed downstairs.
Guan Feng looked at Shang Wanting and asked, "Chairwoman Shang, what is the exact direction of the fireworks?"
Shang Wanting pointed south.
Guan Feng instructed, "Zhao Yang, search along this direction, with a three-kilometer radius, focusing on whether there are any traces of fireworks or firecrackers on the ground. I have only one request! Find this person even if you have to dig three feet into the ground."
Hearing Guan Feng's tone, Zhao Yang realized that this matter was of utmost importance, and immediately said, "Okay! I'll go over now." He then quickly walked out of the villa.
And at this time.
Several people from the local police station also came in.
Guan Feng stepped forward, shook hands with the deputy director of the other branch office, and asked, "Director Zhang, how is the situation?"
Zhang shook his head and said, "We checked the surveillance footage of four streets near the villa and found nothing. We also checked some residents and found nothing unusual. This case seems to have happened out of thin air and then disappeared out of thin air."
Guan Feng said, "To do this without anyone noticing, we can't rule out the possibility of someone inside helping us! Director Zhang, send two people to conduct a thorough investigation of all the servants in the villa."
Zhang said, "No problem!"
Not to mention that Guan Feng is the deputy captain of the Major Crimes Unit and a rising star, their branch office needs to cooperate with the Major Crimes Unit when it comes to investigating cases.
Guan Feng said, "Please cooperate with me on this matter, Sister Jin! I have only one request: the suspect's identity is currently unknown, so all of this investigation must be kept confidential. Whoever leaks information and causes the case to deteriorate uncontrollably, I will hold them accountable!"
"clear!"
Zhang nodded immediately and said.
Sister Jin, looking nervous, also said yes.
Guan Feng said, "Let's hurry up, I hope to see the results as soon as possible."
Zhang immediately looked at Sister Jin and said, "Sister Jin, right? Since Captain Guan has made a request, let's carry it out as soon as possible. Do you have a list of all the personnel here? It would be best if the data was as detailed as possible, including addresses, heights, and weights. Even a medical examination report would be fine, as long as it can reflect their identities."
Sister Jin said, "Yes, yes, please wait a moment!"
