Chapter 112
In the observation room, Pan Chang couldn't help but complain aloud, "Feng Shurong must have done this on purpose! She knew full well there were no surveillance cameras in the alley behind that row of shops. Even if some nearby businesses had installed some, they would have been completely destroyed in the explosion."
It was discovered that the surveillance camera that captured the courier Li Rui entering and leaving the spicy stir-fry restaurant was purely lucky because the camera was installed across the street, so he barely survived.
Moreover, it is a public security camera, and all the data is uploaded to the cloud immediately.
"Feng Shurong is a real suspect. The inspection department has just received relevant evidence from the explosion scene transferred from the fire department. Anything she did will definitely leave some traces. I wonder how she can argue then!" Pan Chang said bitterly.
Luo Jingyao did not say anything in agreement. On the surface, she was staring at the three people on the other side of the glass. In fact, from her particularly deep gaze, it can be seen that although she was standing there, her soul had been flying away for a while.
While one of them was mumbling and the other was distracted, Lin Jiafan and Pang Guang had finished the interrogation and stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.
The four of them gathered in the corridor. Pan Chang spread his hands and said, "Captain Lin, now all we can do is wait for Brother Guo's autopsy report and the trace examination results from the laboratory?"
"Of course not." As Lin Jiafan spoke, he turned around and glanced at Feng Shurong who was sitting in the interrogation room as if unintentionally.
"We need to continue investigating the bombing and interviewing people to see if we can find more witnesses. As for the murder, we must also officially begin the investigation."
"What's the most taboo thing about our business?"
The sudden question made Pan Chang and Pang Guang look at each other in bewilderment. Facing their captain's serious expression as if testing him, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The fear deep in their hearts caused their minds to go blank for a moment, and they were unable to utter a word for a long time.
"Were the investigative directions misled by the obvious clues?" At this time, Luo Jingyao, who had just come to her senses, spoke tentatively.
In response, Lin Jiafan didn't say much. He just looked at her deeply and turned away.
Not until the man disappeared from the case handling area did Pan Chang and Pang Guang dare to breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them bumped into each other and punched each other, with a look of joy on their faces at having survived a disaster.
While they were happy, they also began to reflect.
Indeed, early this morning, the special case investigation team seemed to be led by the young waiter who appeared inexplicably.
Regardless of whether the clues provided by the other party are true or false, the police's investigative direction should never be limited to a single clue.
As a result, all their attention was drawn to Feng Shurong, so it was no wonder that Lin Jiafan got angry.
Just as Pan Chang and Pang Guang were winking and comforting each other, Luo Jingyao couldn't help but open her mouth and said, "Officer Lin seemed to have just said that he was going to the explosion scene to continue the investigation and visit? Aren't you two going to follow?"
After her reminder, the two of them woke up from their dream and ran towards the elevator in a hurry.
However, they had not run far when they turned around and returned to Luo Jingyao in tacit understanding.
As she looked at him in surprise, Pan Chang and Pang Guang grabbed one of her arms without saying a word and pushed her into the elevator.
So, under the pretext that "there are outsiders here and Captain Lin can't lose his temper", Luo Jingyao unexpectedly got on the police car returning to the two crime scenes.
Um……
Luo Jingyao, who was forced to act as a "fire extinguisher", said that sometimes people feel really helpless in life.
I don’t know if it was because he was concerned about her, but after the three of them got in the car, Lin Jiafan just gave Pan Chang and Pang Guang a warning look and didn’t say much.
They drove in silence all the way, and about ten minutes later, the police car arrived near Jiangcheng Spicy Stir-fry Restaurant.
After getting off the car, Luo Jingyao discovered that compared to the mess yesterday, the streets had become much cleaner after the relevant departments worked all night.
Although some traces of the disaster are still difficult to conceal, it is generally okay. At least it will not have much impact on the travel of nearby residents.
The cordons at the ends of the streets had already been removed, and the only cordoned area near the crime scene was a small area in front of the spicy stir-fry restaurant.
There seemed to be figures moving around in several shops affected by the explosion. It was estimated that the business owners came to check the specific damage, after all, there was still a lot of repair work to be done later.
"Pang Guang, go and talk to the people in these nearby stores." Lin Jiafan slammed the car door and gave the order.
As soon as Pang Guang responded, Pan Chang couldn't wait to take the initiative and said, "I'll go with him!"
Before he finished speaking, the two of them ran several meters away in an instant, and their intention to escape from someone could not be more obvious.
Luo Jingyao lowered her head, first pressing down the corners of her mouth, then asked, "Officer Lin is also planning to investigate and visit?"
Instead of answering her question right away, Lin Jiafan raised his head slightly and looked towards the residential building behind the spicy stir-fry restaurant. Then he looked away: "Since we're here, Coach Luo, do you want to go to the crime scene where Yu Wenxin's body was found?"
The situation yesterday was too chaotic, and there were many people at the scene when the body was discovered. He really didn't have the time to concentrate and pay attention to some details.
Although the other party was asking politely, Luo Jingyao felt that she seemed to have no say in the matter.
In this way, the two of them arrived at the gate of the community one after another. After Lin Jiafan explained his identity and purpose to the security guard at the gate, they successfully entered the interior of the park.
As soon as she came in, Luo Jingyao noticed that the property staff of the community were working in groups of three or four to carry out cleaning and post-explosion work.
Obviously, the green areas of the park destroyed by the explosion are not so easy to restore.
Under the curious gazes of countless people, the two of them slowly arrived at the bottom of the residential building.
Similar to the spicy stir-fry restaurant, because this building was the most severely damaged and a body was found there, there are still conspicuous cordons around it.
Reaching out to push aside the cordon, Lin Jiafan was the first to enter the corridor.
It is said that yesterday's explosion had a certain impact on the surrounding power systems. Luo Jingyao, who followed closely behind, looked up at the unresponsive sensor light. The building should not have been able to restore normal power supply yet.
Carefully avoiding the rubble on the stairs, a minute later, the two stood outside the door of No. 201, which was on the right side of the stairs.
Through the rickety security door, Luo Jingyao could clearly see the situation inside the house.
Probably because the inspection department had completed the on-site evidence collection work yesterday, the room was now much cleaner. Only a few large pieces of concrete fragments were left piled in the corner of the living room, and a cool breeze was mercilessly blowing in through the broken holes in the wall.
Lin Jiafan walked around every room and finally returned to the living room. He sighed with some regret, "The secondary explosion of the kitchen gas can be considered an accomplice to this murder. It blew away all traces of the crime in this room."
Suddenly, a cell phone notification sound rang in their ears.
Lin Jiafan took out his phone from his trouser pocket and lowered his eyes to look at the message from whom he didn't know.
After a long pause, he put his phone away and looked around as he spoke, "It's the medical examination department. They couldn't find any usable fingerprints or DNA evidence at the crime scene yesterday, but they did extract a few fingerprints from the master bedroom window."
"After comparison, it was confirmed that two of the fingerprints belonged to Hou Guoan, the deceased in the bombing."
"Since Officer Pang has found out that Hou Guoan is the actual tenant of this property, then it should be normal to find his fingerprints in the bedroom, right?" Luo Jingyao also imitated the man and walked around the house in circles.
The fingerprints found in the bedroom can only be regarded as indirect evidence. It is too far-fetched to use them to prove that Hou Guoan killed Yu Wenxin.
While she was speaking, Lin Jiafan had already arrived in front of the wall where Yu Wenxin's body was found. While observing the wall in front of him that had been dug into pieces in order to remove the body, he did not forget to take the time to say "hmm" to express his agreement.
Receiving an unexpected response, Luo Jingyao couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the other person in surprise.
If you think about it carefully, this can be considered an alternative form of 'response to everything'?
Barely suppressing the awkward feeling that suddenly arose in her heart, she stood in front of the window of the master bedroom and looked across, just in time to see a person standing on the balcony of the living room on the third floor of the building opposite.
The man seemed to notice her as well and quickly turned around and disappeared.
Before Luo Jingyao had time to think about it, Lin Jiafan's low voice came from the living room: "Coach Luo?"
Without delaying for a moment, she turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and saw the man squatting in front of the wall with his knees bent. He put on a glove on his right hand and carefully took something out of the gap in the wall.
It was not until they got closer that Luo Jingyao saw clearly that what Lin Jiafan was holding between his index finger and thumb was a cigarette butt.
How did this thing get inside the wall? Could it have accidentally dropped it while the murderer was sealing the deceased Yu Wen's letter inside the wall?
"It was buried under a pile of cement debris. Perhaps the laboratory missed it when they were collecting evidence yesterday." Lin Jiafan put the cigarette butt into the evidence bag and turned his head to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "Guess what the probability is that the DNA extracted from it matches Hou Guoan?"
"Fifty percent?" Luo Jingyao gave a conservative figure.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiafan smiled meaningfully: "I guess one hundred percent."
