Chapter 20 Death Scene



The small building, which remained clean and tidy despite being covered in coal dust, was now full of people.

More than a dozen police officers were taking photos to collect evidence, and some newspaper reporters who had received the news from Yaoguang District and rushed over were also frantically pressing the shutter button at the cold, fat corpse.

"All the valuables in the room have been looted. We did not find the fingerprints of the perpetrator here, but from the shoe prints on the carpet in the living room on the first floor, we can confirm that the suspect is the illegal resident who followed the two dead foremen into the site yesterday. His identity on the bus was Zhao Zihong, and he was accompanied by a family member who claimed to be his sister. Both of them were confirmed missing this morning."

"It is inferred that the suspect killed the two foremen who brought him into the mine at 11:13 in the mine pit, then waited for two hours before quietly coming to the residence of Director Xie, eating something in the restaurant on the first floor, and then taking a knife from the kitchen. Finally, he went to the second floor to threaten Director Xie to hand over his property and kill him to silence him."

He Tianyuan acted separately. The deputy superintendent who was in charge of the on-site investigation here frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reports.

Combining the information we already know, it is actually very easy to infer who did it.

It was nothing more than the talented girl Fengzi, whose reputation had long been spread throughout the Yaoguang District, who, together with the biological human experiment products of Tianen Company, found the two foremen, and got on the labor train and came here under the pretext of wanting to work on the site.

As a result, two black-hearted foremen wanted to wipe out the family, so they killed the biological man and embezzled the compensation, but they were killed in return.

As for the death of Director Xie, it is a little hard to understand.

Killing two foremen could be considered self-defense, but what about coming to this small building to kill people and rob them? Would Feng Zi, who was said to have grown up in the laboratory of the Institute of Physics and had a childish personality, make such a decision?

Or has the biological person she rescued from Tian'en Company gone mad and out of control, developing an antisocial personality?

Just as the deputy superintendent was thinking with his head lowered, a louder and louder noise outside the cordon behind him interrupted his thoughts.

The understaffed police force was unable to stop the reporters' cameras. If this was just a simple murder case, let alone attracting the attention of these journalists, it would be impossible for them to travel all the way from Yaoguang District to this remote place.

The news that Fengzi eloped with a biological human had been circulating for the past two days. It was also unknown who leaked the news that the murder at the coal mine was related to Fengzi.

"Mr. Superintendent! The whole city has been alarmed. Was this murder committed by Miss Fengzi herself? If she was involved in the crime! What decision will the Nikko Council make?"

"Miss Fengzi has been emphasizing that the light stone on the top of the white tower does not belong to the sun. The upper echelons of the parliament have tarnished Speaker Feng's ideals! Do you understand what the parliament's attitude is?"

"There are rumors that the Sunlight Council has been keeping Miss Fengzi under house arrest. Miss Fengzi's escape this time is a protest against the house arrest! May I ask if the police have received any similar reports?"

"Will Miss Fengzi forcibly use her power in the Tianen Company headquarters and the central government to take the Light Stone away? If she is really prepared to do so, how will the parliament counter it?"

"Mr. Superintendent."

The scene was extremely chaotic. The microphones kept poking at the deputy superintendent's face, making his expression even uglier.

"I'm sorry, this is a crime scene, not a press conference! Go mobilize the company security at the barrier area and don't allow any outsiders to approach the scene!"

Under the deputy superintendent's order, the scene finally became quiet again. However, before he could rub his aching and swollen temples, calm his mind, and reanalyze the case, he had no time to do so.

The sound of "crunching" chewing caught his attention again.

The deputy superintendent looked up with an angry look on his face, and saw the young man with messy hair, wearing black casual pants and a black shirt, eating potato chips and looking at the bloodstain on the big bed with interest.

He did not ask the young man in black questions, but directly grabbed the collar of a police officer next to him and glared at him and scolded him.

"Didn't I tell you that no outsiders are allowed to enter the site? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"Secretary, Secretary, he is from Tianen Company."

Hearing the word "Tian En", the deputy superintendent's reason made him calm down his temper.

Letting go of his tactless subordinate, he approached the young man with a stern look on his face.

"Hasn't your company already reported the case and handed the matter over to the police?"

Bai Qiulin stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

"But this involves a big shot in our company after all. The leaders above are willing to trust the ability of the police department, but they also have to arrange people to understand the progress of the case to satisfy their desire for control, right?"

"Hello, officer. My name is Bai Qiulin, a specialist of the Sun Branch of Tianen Company. Just call me Xiaobai."

He was obviously good at speaking, and was not at all like the unsophisticated person he was when facing his boss.

The deputy superintendent's expression eased a little, but after seeing Bai Qiulin's greasy hand, the hand that was about to be stretched out subconsciously stopped again.

Bai Qiulin raised his eyebrows and handed over the bag of potato chips.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Would you like some? I stole some from a pastor's house yesterday. It's his granddaughter's favorite flavor. I took a pack and she cried."

“So, how does your company view this?”

Seeing that the deputy superintendent had no intention of accepting his sharing, Bai Qiulin did not show any embarrassment.

He tilted his head back and poured all the remaining potato chip crumbs into his mouth, then threw the empty bag of chips into the trash can beside him.

"I'm just a specialist. My role here is limited to being the eyes and ears of the company's top management. So who knows what the top management thinks?"

Just as the deputy superintendent was staring at Bai Qiulin wiping his hands on his shirt, thinking that this man was just here to do his job, and that communicating with him would only be a waste of time and would not yield any results, he was about to turn around and leave.

Bai Qiulin suddenly said.

"But if you're asking me for my personal opinion, to be honest, I don't quite understand why the police department has focused all their attention on that young lady."

The deputy superintendent who had just turned around stopped, frowned, and turned to look at the lazy and sloppy young man again.

"What do you mean?"

"I remember that when the company's people went to the police station to report the case, they clearly stated that the young lady was bewitched and abducted by the biological man in the experimental field, and the two eloped and ran away together."

Bai Qiulin stared at the large pool of blood on the flannel sheet and said calmly.

"Can't you tell from this passage that the one who is in the dominant position between the two of them is not Miss Feng Zifeng, but the biological human experiment codenamed [Liang Xincheng]."
