Chapter 170: Mrs. Dong, there is some blood stain here that has not been cleaned up. …
There was a dead silence in the air.
Stewed.
Stewed...
Everyone's throat moved up and down, their faces looked grim, and they all felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Wei Zhengyi turned his head away and took a deep breath into the air beside him. Even Jiang Cheng, who was usually calm and reserved, had a pale face and a frown on his face.
Shen Qingye forced himself to suppress the churning in his stomach and closed his eyes tightly.
They had thought of countless possibilities regarding this case, but they had never imagined that this would be the outcome.
Simply, simply——
Yue Lingchuan was the first to calm down: "Are the pot, chopping board, and kitchen knife still there?"
Aunt Yan nodded quickly: "Still there."
Yue Lingchuan asked again: "After that time, have you used those things again?"
"No." Aunt Yan said immediately, "I, I didn't know what she brought back at the time. I felt really uncomfortable and a little scared. After all, she wasn't the only one eating the food I cooked. I also had to eat... So I gritted my teeth and packed up the pot and the set of knives, and put them aside. I've been using other cutting boards to cook these days."
Zhou Qiming hurriedly asked, "How did you clean it up?"
Aunt Yan said: "Just... simply rinse it with water."
"I felt something was wrong at the time, so I didn't dare touch them. I simply washed off the remaining residue with water and put them away."
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingchuan quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Shen Qingye and others also perked up and quickly followed him.
——If you simply rinse it with clean water, there is a high possibility that there will still be DNA residue on it!
"Where did you put the chopping board?" Yue Lingchuan looked around the kitchen and turned to look at Aunt Yan behind him. Upon hearing what she said, she hurriedly opened the cabinet door below and said, "It's right here."
Yue Lingchuan squatted down and saw some pots, bowls and kitchen utensils that were not often used piled up in the dim cabinet door.
His eyes scanned the room, and then slowly fell on a chopping board in the corner and a knife next to it.
"Kaiyang." He called out in a deep voice. Luo Kaiyang understood and quickly turned around and walked out of the villa. After a moment, he strode in with gloves and an evidence bag.
Yue Lingchuan put on gloves, carefully took out the things and put them into the evidence bag.
A group of people gathered around and carefully examined the chopping board and the knife. Jiang Cheng was very attentive and was the first to notice the focal point: "There is a little blood stain here that has not been cleaned up."
Everyone looked where he pointed, and sure enough, they saw a faint trace of dark blood at the junction of the blade and the handle.
Zhou Qiming immediately raised his hand and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder: "Good fellow, you have such sharp eyes!"
Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.
After Yue Lingchuan took out the knife and chopping board, he also took out the pot for cooking meat according to Aunt Yan's instructions, turned around and handed it to Zhou Qiming, and instructed:
"Old Zhou, you and Jiang Chengzhengyi, take the things back first and send them to Captain Qin. Remember to urge them to move faster."
He paused, then said, "Go check on Mrs. Dong and see what role she played in this case."
Zhou Qiming's expression became serious, and he immediately said, "Yes."
Aunt Yan watched the three criminal police officers leave quickly. She sensed the tense atmosphere at the moment and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. She said hesitantly, "Police, police comrades..."
Shen Qingye looked back at her, and Aunt Yan opened her mouth: "So, so what happened?"
"It's true..."
She didn't finish her words, but looking at their attitudes and combining them with her own feelings, she felt very panicked. Her heart was beating fast and she licked her dry lips unconsciously.
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other before saying, "The results are not confirmed yet, so we can't say anything for now."
"Oh, oh, oh." Aunt Yan nodded blankly, standing there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Seeing this, Shen Qingye comforted him, "Don't worry, you will know the truth after we find out the facts. As long as we confirm that you have nothing to do with this case, we can guarantee that you will not be implicated."
"That's good, that's good..." Aunt Yan nodded, looking sighing and helpless.
She didn't understand. Everything was fine for so many years, why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Seeing that she was distracted, Shen Qingye did not bring up the topic any further, but continued, "We have more information to learn about Madam Dong."
Aunt Yan came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "Here... I really don't know much."
Shen Qingye asked: "Then you should know when they got together, right?"
Aunt Yan thought for a moment and said, "About two months ago, my wife went out to a party and came back. She seemed to have been in touch with Mrs. Dong. After that, she would visit Mrs. Dong from time to time. Mrs. Dong would also come to visit occasionally."
Shen Qingye asked: "Do you know what they talked about each time?"
Aunt Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I really don't know. Madam Dong seems to be on guard against me. Every time Madam Dong comes to visit, Madam Dong either orders me to go buy groceries or asks me to prepare meals in the kitchen... I really don't know what they talk about. I only know that every time Madam Dong comes to visit, Madam Dong seems to be in a good mood."
Shen Qingye pondered for a while, then asked, "Since Tan Yuwei met Madam Dong till now, has she done anything unusual?"
"Abnormal?" Aunt Yan thought again and again: "If it's abnormal... Does it count if Madam hasn't been to the hospital much recently?"
Shen Qingye's eyes moved: "Forget it!"
"Does she go to the hospital very often?"
Aunt Yan nodded helplessly: "That's right."
"Having no children for so many years has become a major concern for my wife. From time to time, she would go to some famous hospitals, or to some famous Chinese medicine practitioners that she had heard of, to see a doctor and get checked out. In the past, she would go at least once a month, and would always come back with large and small packages of medicine. But in the past two months, I hardly heard my wife mention going to see any doctor, and she even seemed to have barely taken her medicine..."
Shen Qingye's heart was slightly moved, and he asked again: "After that night, was Tan Yuwei's condition different from usual?"
"...Yes." Aunt Yan said in a deep voice: "When she woke up that morning, I could see that Madam was particularly happy."
"I have been working at home for many years, and my wife has been busy with the children's affairs. I rarely see her so relaxed. But after that day, my wife relaxed completely. She looked younger and more lively. Her temper improved a lot, and even her attitude towards us... became much gentler."
She said, "Just the day before yesterday, my wife said that I had worked hard over the years and wanted to give me a raise."
Logically speaking, this should have been a happy thing, but when Aunt Yan thought about the possible reasons for her wife's happiness, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and she wasn't very happy about the salary increase either.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye turned his head to look at Yue Lingchuan and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Such a change...if it is really as they guessed, it is simply...
Seeing this, Yue Lingchuan patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Then he asked Aunt Yan, "What is Mrs. Dong's name? Do you know?"
Aunt Yan said, "Dong Xuyuan."
"Her name is Dong Xuyuan."
