As soon as Xue Tuan entered the room, she raised her nose and rushed to the bedside table without hesitation. Her little paws quickly pulled out a blue asthma inhaler.
[That's it! It smells exactly like the one next to the corpse!]
Xue Tuan hugged the inhaler and excitedly reported to Xia Zhi Ning.
"Snowball confirmed that the odor remaining on the corpse is completely consistent with this inhaler."
Xia Zhining said in a deep voice.
Ji Shuyun raised the blue inhaler, his eyes blazing:
"For asthma patients, it is standard practice to use an inhaler during strenuous activity or emotional excitement."
He turned to the pale-faced old woman and said, word by word:
"For you, moving corpses is the most strenuous activity."
"Absurd!" The old woman trembled with anger, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Using an animal's nose as evidence? Using animals to solve cases is utterly ridiculous!"
Xia Zhining quickly hugged Xue Tuan's fluffy little head into her arms.
I covered its sensitive ears tightly with both hands and coaxed it softly:
"I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense."
"Our Snow Team are legitimate detectives, we don't stoop to the level of laymen."
Feline stood frozen in place, her face pale, yet she still clung tightly to her last glimmer of hope.
Her voice trembled slightly, as if grasping at a last straw: "Officer, the discovery of animals... cannot ultimately be used as direct evidence, right?"
"To establish a verdict, the police ultimately need to produce irrefutable, irrefutable evidence!"
The forensic expert stepped forward with a professional sampling kit: "We have already taken fabric samples from the deceased's collar and cuffs, which are the best carriers for preserving trace amounts of chemical substances."
The police officer in the laboratory glanced at the time: "We can get the component comparison report in as little as two hours."
"We will then clearly inform everyone whether the chemical components remaining on the deceased's body are completely consistent with the drug components in this asthma inhaler."
Two hours.
Every minute spent waiting for the results felt incredibly long.
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy. Feline was pale, the old lady was clutching her prayer beads so tightly that her knuckles were white, and the police were on high alert.
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun, on the other hand, planned to take control of Zhang Xian, another key figure in disposing of the corpse.
Ji Shuyun calmly made arrangements and discussed with the Yuncheng police: "Immediately find Fei Lin's cousin Zhang Xian and ask him to come back to the station to assist in the investigation."
“He is a direct relative of the suspect and was also at the scene of the crime. We need to verify important information with him.”
When Zhang Xian was brought back to the living room by the police officers, he immediately saw the outline covered by a white sheet on the floor.
His pupils dilated, and he blurted out, "What...what happened? How did someone die?"
With red eyes and a hoarse voice, Fei Lin said, "It was Ah Xing... The police suspect that it was Grandma who did it."
Just then, the forensic doctor strode in with the report, clearly presenting the results to everyone:
"Tests revealed that the drug components extracted from the deceased's clothing and skin were completely identical to those found in the asthma inhaler seized from the elderly woman!"
Upon hearing this, Feline nearly fainted!
"Grandma...why?" Feline's voice trembled with brokenness.
She stared in disbelief at the person she loved most, tears finally streaming down her face. "Tell me... why is this happening?!"
"What exactly did Ah Xing do?"
The old lady avoided eye contact with Feline, keeping silent.
The color drained from Zhang Xian's face instantly, and he froze on the spot as if all his strength had been drained.
He turned sharply to look at the old woman, his voice trembling with shock: "Grandma...you...how could you kill Ah Xing?!"
