Chapter 266: Murder Under Your Nose



Lin Yalin took a pair of gloves from the kitchen and put them on her hands before starting to examine the body.

There was a lot of white foam in the mouth and nose of the body. The urine entered the respiratory tract and stimulated the trachea, causing a large amount of protein-containing liquid to be secreted, which formed the white foamy liquid.

The liquid gathered around the mouth and nose, and the body spots were light red.

Lin Yalin spread the clothes of the deceased as she spoke, "The skin of the corpse has been soaked in water for a period of time, and has begun to wrinkle, swell and turn white. I observed her palms and soles and found that the keratin layer was thick. This phenomenon usually occurs after the corpse has been immersed in water for about 24 hours.

While Lin Yalin was observing carefully, a police officer in the back had already moved the professional forensic box over.

Lin Yalin began to examine the body in the living room.

"He seemed to have something in his hand."

Xu Yao, who was squatting next to him, also found that the deceased's right hand was in a clenched fist, holding something tightly. "

Xu Yao hurriedly worked together with Lin Yalin to laboriously pry the deceased's fingers apart. Lin Yalin picked it up with tweezers, removed the water plants and mud, and found a black button inside.

Xu Yao immediately guessed whether this button was most likely taken from the murderer by Chen Xinjiao.

Liu Xiaobo expressed another view, "Captain Xu, this is quite possible, but suicide cannot be ruled out. Perhaps before committing suicide, she grabbed an object that she thought was very important.

Lin Yalin ignored their discussion and continued to examine the body.

"After my brief examination just now, Chen Xinhua should have drowned. If you want to get a definite cause of death, you must wait until I finish the autopsy. Whether

he was murdered or committed suicide, these should be handed over to Xu Yao for investigation."

Xu Yao called two police officers and carried the body to the previous temporary morgue.

The plastic bag in Xu Yao's hand contained the black button. He picked it up and kept looking at it in front of his eyes. He felt that the button was very familiar, as if it had been stripped from a suit jacket.

Xu Yao deliberately held the button and asked in the living room.

"Everyone, please be quiet and take a look at this button. Has anyone seen it before?"

Chen Xinli was standing not too far from Xu Yao. He turned his head and put the button in front of her. Soon, he could see a panicked look on Chen Xinli's face.

Although her hands were clenched tightly against the seam of her pants, the slightly trembling corners of her mouth still betrayed her.

Xu Yao deliberately stood in front of Chen Xinli and put the button closer to her line of sight.

"Mrs. Du, have you seen this button before?"

"No... I haven't seen it before. I don't know where I saw it. I've never seen it before." As Chen Xinli said this, sweat broke out on her head from time to time.

This was obviously a lie. Chen Xinli looked around as she spoke, as if she was looking for someone.

Suddenly, she began to mutter to herself, "Why did another one die? Is it really as the recording said? Will my whole family die?

Will I be the next one?"

Seeing that his wife was on the verge of collapse, Chen Xinli's husband hurried over and comforted her:

"Wife, cheer up. Stop talking nonsense. See, the fifth sister Chen Xinjiao is dead. The police said before that Chen Xinjiao was the murderer of these cases. Now that she is dead, we are naturally safe.

The culprit jumped into the sea and died, how could someone else die!

Chen Xinli was so weak that she was staggering from side to side. Her husband Du Xueming reached out to steady her, but as soon as his hand touched Chen Xinli's arm, she bounced away without a trace. Her

face was extremely pale, perhaps because there had been too many changes in the Chen family recently, and she had been bearing it all.

Slowly, Chen Xinli's forehead began to sweat, and Xu Yao asked with concern: "Mrs. Du, you are not feeling well, so go back and rest quickly."

"It's okay, it's okay. Husband, go get me a glass of water." Chen Xingli acted very strong.

Du Xueming's face was full of worry, and he quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen.

All the people who had finished their meal in the restaurant were crowded in the living room, including police officers and Chen's family members.

The huge living room suddenly felt a bit crowded. Du Xuemin walked into the kitchen in a panic, looked for a cup and found a kettle. After pouring a glass of water, he quickened his pace and walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

Du Xueming was so anxious that he bumped into several people while holding the water. He could only anxiously say, "Sorry, please make way."

"Wife, the water is here." Du Xueming was holding the cup and was about to feed it into her husband's mouth, but Chen Xinli took the water and poured it into her mouth.

Xu Yao saw that Chen Xinli was being taken care of by her husband, and he still had a lot of work to do, so he turned around and wanted to lead the police officers out of the living room. Just

as Xu Yao was about to leave, he suddenly heard a scream and a glass shattered on the ground.

He looked back and saw Chen Xinli lying in Chen Xingfu's arms, motionless.

"What's wrong with you, my wife? What's wrong with you?

Police comrade, please take a quick look at my wife, what's wrong with her?"

Xu Yao turned around and ran to Chen Xinli quickly, only to see that Chen Xinli's lips were purple and her hands were hanging down.

He stretched out his right hand to feel Chen Xinli's breath, and she was dead.

Chen Xinli was dead!!

Xu Yao simply couldn't believe his eyes. A person who was alive just now turned into a corpse in an instant.

If Xu Yao had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have really thought it was an illusion.

Xu Yao opened Chen Xinli's mouth and sniffed inside. There was a pungent smell, which was probably cyanide poisoning.

He watched Du Xueming enter the kitchen and pour a glass of water for his wife. Within two minutes, his wife fell down and died.

Xu Yao was filled with anger that the murderer dared to do whatever he wanted on his territory.

"Seal off the scene. No one is allowed to go out.

Lao Tan, take Du Xueming away and lock him in the room. I will interrogate him."

Du Xueming was crying bitterly and looked dazed. In an instant, he understood.

"What's wrong with you? You actually suspect that I killed my wife.

How is this possible? How could I deliberately stage a murder scene in front of you police officers?

Am I not walking into a trap?"

Du Xueming's words were not unreasonable, but he was the one who had the most direct contact with his wife's death.

"Mr. Du, I didn't say you killed your wife, but you are a strong suspect. I'm going to lock you up for interrogation now. If it's proved that you have nothing to do with the case, I'll naturally let you go.

Why are you so panicked?"

After Du Xueming was taken away, he was still shouting excitedly, "You can't do this. Who killed my wife? I want to be with my wife.

Don't lock me up. I want to catch the murderer who killed my wife."

He then cried loudly, but the sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
