When you turn on the light, you can clearly see the dust suspended in the air.
"Boss, why did Xu Ting buy so many houses?"
"If you have money but don't know how to invest and are afraid of losing it, what would you do?" Qiao Yuan's voice came from the kitchen.
The sheriff hesitated and said, "Buy a house?"
…
After checking the room inside and out, Qiao Yuan shook his head.
"It looks like Xu Ting was taken away!"
The sheriff standing by looked blankly at the scene where there was no sign of fighting, and did not quite understand what Qiao Yuan said.
"Take a closer look. Do you feel anything is wrong?"
When it comes to his job, the experienced sheriff begins to check carefully.
All objects in the room, including the floor, were covered with a layer of dust, and there were no footprints other than those of the two of them.
There was no food residue in the kitchen or bathroom.
The trash can is empty.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like no one has lived there for a long time!
"The dust is so thick here, there must be no one living here, right?"
Based on his many years of experience in solving cases, this was indeed a room that had been uninhabited for a long time.
But looking at Qiao Yuan's expression, he felt a little hesitant and suspected that he had made a mistake.
"Yes, it's dust. You can tell right away. It looks like it's been abandoned for months."
Sheriff: “…”
"But the residences we visited before didn't have this level of dust. They were very clean," said Qiao Yuan.
Sheriff: “????”
You haven't even gone in to take a look, how do you know it's clean inside?
…
If it weren't for the official power, Qiao Yuan would not have known that Xu Ting had actually purchased so many properties privately.
I had scanned other places with my mental power before, and they were very clean. It was obvious that someone cleaned them regularly.
But there is dust here alone. It’s impossible that no one cleaned it, so... this must have been created intentionally.
It is highly likely that it was not done by a ghost, at least I have never seen a ghost that could handle the scene.
After a simple reasoning, Qiao Yuan had an idea in his mind.
Someone found Xu Ting who was temporarily living here, and then took her away, while deliberately creating the illusion that Xu Ting was not living here!
In this way, even if someone comes to investigate and sees these scenes, they will think that Xu Ting has gone out and has not returned home. After all, for an awakened person, going out is a very normal thing.
But the person behind the scenes didn’t know that Xu Ting had purchased a lot of real estate!
In comparison, this kind of behavior of trying to cover up one's own faults actually exposes one's thoughts.
…
"Leader, shall I investigate the surveillance right now?" asked the sheriff.
"No need. Since he was able to capture a fifth-level awakener and set up the scene so perfectly, it would be easy for him to affect the surveillance."
"This is a master criminal!"
Qiao Yuan stopped the sheriff's meaningless behavior.
"This...what should we do then?"
"Just ask the witnesses!"
Sheriff: “???????”
Looking at Qiao Yuan's young face, the experienced old sheriff sighed inwardly. He was probably really old and had no idea what this young leader was thinking.
Since they were able to arrange the scene so perfectly and it might affect surveillance, how could they leave any eyewitnesses?
