Chapter 284 Why are you, a grown man, taking maternity leave?
"Captain Chen, it's Professor Xu and the others."
Shen Xichuan and Captain Chen both looked over.
When Xu Jialan saw Shen Xichuan’s figure, he was stunned for half a second.
She didn't expect him to be there.
Unexpected, but expected.
Xu Jialan walked up to the two of them.
She glanced at Shen Xichuan, then looked at Captain Chen, “You lived up to expectations.”
Captain Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "You really..."
He didn't know how to start.
Originally, after Xu Jialan came back, he placed all his hopes of finding evidence on her.
As a result, Shen Xichuan’s words just now directly made his head buzz.
Who would have thought that Xu Jialan would continue collecting evidence and conducting tests even though she was pregnant?
Xu Jialan nodded and said, "Let's go to the laboratory first. It's not convenient to talk here."
She had to be cautious when it came to the progress of the case.
Shen Xichuan said, “I’ll take you there.”
Captain Chen didn't object. "We found this in the test."
He left a team of people to continue guarding here, and then drove away.
Fang Zhiyun and others also knew that with Shen Xichuan around, Xu Jialan would not go with them.
She said hello and left with her people.
Shen Xichuan pulled open the co-pilot seat.
Xu Jialan sat in.
The man did not start the vehicle immediately.
He unbuckled her newly fastened seatbelt and said, "Turn around."
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, then turned around.
The next second, a warm hand suddenly appeared on my waist.
Gently massage the sore muscles in your waist.
All the fatigue and aches in my body seemed to disappear in an instant.
Xu Jialan tilted his head and his eyes fell on the car window.
The man's face was reflected in the glass window.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his deep features showed his dignity, and there was a hint of softness between his brows that was barely noticeable.
"Have you eaten?" she asked.
Without stopping his movements, Shen Xichuan asked, “Are you hungry?”
Xu Jialan was stunned for half a second, then touched his belly and said, "A little bit."
In the morning, although she brought snacks prepared by the man, she had no time to eat them.
I've been busy for such a long time and I still have something in my stomach. How can I not be hungry?
Shen Xichuan glanced at her, said nothing, and after massaging skillfully, he reached out and grabbed the thermal bag from the back seat.
He took out an insulated lunch box and handed it over.
"It's a bit late, so I asked the chef at home to make it to fill my stomach first."
After leaving the laboratory, he did not rush to the scene immediately and wasted some time. In fact, he took a detour back to Courtyard No. 1.
As soon as Xu Jialan smelled the aroma of the food, his appetite was already whetted.
At this point, who would care who did it?
It's good enough to fill your stomach.
She picked up the fork, picked up a piece of dumpling, fed it to the man's lips, and let out an "ah".
Shen Xichuan glanced at her, opened his mouth and bit it.
Xu Jialan blinked and asked, "Is it delicious?"
The man hummed, started the car, and turned the steering wheel. "It's okay."
Xu Jialan also ate one, which was stuffed with leeks.
The snacks in the lunch box are made in a variety of ways.
Exquisite and special.
As if he was afraid that Xu Jialan would not like it.
She ate several and fed Shen Xichuan a few more.
"I just found traces of blood at the scene." She said slowly while chewing the food in her mouth.
Shen Xichuan frowned slightly, "Bloodstains? Can it be tested?"
Xu Jialan shook his head. "Before the fire at the first scene, someone must have deliberately used bleach to wash away the bloodstains. Then the fire and explosion covered up the smell of disinfectant in the air, so no bloodstains were found at that location."
"However, even if the bloodstains reacted with luminol, they have already been destroyed by the disinfectant. I can only try my best to test and see if I can find out who the bloodstains belong to."
“So, this was indeed premeditated.” Shen Xichuan gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Xu Jialan put down his fork. "Regardless of whether the other party planned it or not, now that we have new clues, we will definitely assist the police in solving the case as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will never let the murderer succeed again."
Shen Xichuan tilted his head and glanced at her quickly, “Although the case is important, don’t forget that you can’t overwork your body now.”
Xu Jialan nodded, "I know, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Shen Xichuan remained silent.
…
After arriving at the laboratory.
Xu Jialan started another busy round.
Shen Xichuan, Captain Chen and others were waiting at the door of the laboratory.
After some tests, Fang Zhiyun opened the door and let them in.
Xu Jialan turned around and walked over with the tablet in his hand.
"sit."
Shen Xichuan took the seat next to her.
Team Chen chose the opposite position.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Professor Xu, what new evidence have you found?"
Xu Jialan transferred the content on the tablet to the big screen.
"This is the bloodstain I found at the scene."
A photo appeared on the screen.
This is a picture of the luminol reaction.
"You can see blood on the screen. Although someone had tried to remove the blood with disinfectant before the fire, the blood was only discovered after the effect of the disinfectant gradually wore off."
"However, we can still see that the bloodstains are most likely passive bloodstains."
Xu Jialan looked at Captain Chen and the others and said, "Based on the location of the bloodstains, we can guess that someone accidentally injured their hand while tampering with the main switch, and then the blood dripped onto the ground, causing the passive bloodstains."
Captain Chen stared at the screen, frowning. "Professor Xu, are you suggesting that we follow the clues from the hand injury as a basis for our investigation?"
Xu Jialan hummed, "Bloodstains can be wiped away with disinfectant, but they will reappear. Since the murderer was injured before, he must have left traces at the second crime scene. As long as we find his DNA, we can find out the murderer's identity and bring him to justice."
Captain Chen slammed his hands on the table, unable to conceal his excitement. "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate in this direction."
Shen Xichuan tapped the table with his fingertips, paused, and said, “Since the murderer knows how to use disinfectant to eliminate traces of blood, it means that his knowledge in this area is not low, or he is very confident in his own strength and is not afraid of being found out.”
"Mr. Shen, what you mean is..."
"The bombing was premeditated, so the perpetrator is in the dark and we are in the light. He will definitely be observing our actions from the shadows, so we can keep the investigation quiet."
Xu Jialan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded, "I agree. If the other party knew that we had new evidence, it might anger them and cause a third fire."
The couple exchanged words with each other.
Captain Chen had nothing to say.
He was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to stage a scene to confuse everyone."
Shen Xichuan raised his eyebrows.
Captain Chen looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, "Are you and your wife really not considering joining our reconnaissance team?"
Shen Xichuan tapped the table lightly, “No plan, I’m on maternity leave.”
Captain Chen couldn't help but glare at him. "Why are you, a grown man, taking maternity leave?"
After he finished speaking, he realized that Shen Xichuan’s identity did not allow him to speak like this.
Shen Xichuan didn’t care about his attitude, and said in a somewhat boastful tone, “Oh, accompany the birth.”
