Chapter 43: Is He Too Professional?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Shen Qianqian pondered for a long time, her expression growing solemn, and she felt a chill run down her spine, “Do you mean that the traces at the scene were deliberately left by the murderer?”
Deliberately tampering with the scene and leaving clues to mislead the police and delay the solving of the case.
With each passing day in a homicide case, the likelihood of it becoming an unsolved mystery increases.
Because it is very possible that the murderer would take this opportunity to destroy clues and evidence, escaping justice forever.
Lin Chuan shook his head, “This is just a deduction based on my… ‘novel experience,’ after all, I have never seen any crime scene or related clues. If you want to get a definite answer, I need to see the crime scene to know.
In ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional,’ he was endowed with ‘homicide case handling ability.’
When it comes to falsifying a scene, he was more professional than criminal investigators and forensic doctors.
However, he must see the scene to be sure.
“Lin Chuan, wait a moment, I will ask for Captain Hu’s instructions,” Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and deeply looked at Lin Chuan before making a decision.
…
Criminal Police Brigade, office.
“Captain Hu, I request to take Lin Chuan to Hengli Gym,” Shen Qianqian went straight to the point as soon as she entered the door.
Hu Daqiang put down the paperwork in hand, his eyes lighting up, “Is he going to identify the scene?”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “We analyzed last night, he has no suspicion of committing the crime, now we are inviting him to the crime scene to assist in the investigation.”
“That’s not according to protocol.”
Hu Daqiang frowned slightly, appearing troubled.
The regulations clearly stipulate that only criminal police personnel and other relevant individuals can enter and inspect a crime scene.
Others, like Lin Chuan who is a civilian, simply cannot gain access.
Shen Qianqian thought for a moment, “Now we have only six days left to solve the case, but we haven’t even inspected the clues at the crime scene.”
Hu Daqiang stared steadily at Shen Qianqian and asked, “Lin Chuan is neither a criminal detective nor a forensic doctor, do you think by going to the scene he can actually inspect the clues?”
“But I believe his expertise is no less than that of an experienced detective,” Shen Qianqian argued, “You saw his novel last night, too; his ability to fake a crime scene is not to be underestimated, perfectly fitting the profile of a high IQ criminal. I think he could be of great help to our investigation.”
Hu Daqiang furrowed his brow.
Then, he picked up the thermos on the desk, took a sip, and shook his head, “It’s still too risky, it would be difficult if it comes to the attention of the higher-ups.”
“Difficult means that there’s still a way, right?”
Shen Qianqian blinked.
Hu Daqiang gave a wry smile and said, “How certain are you that he can find clues at the scene?”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and nodded, “Eighty percent certain.”
“Then go outside and wait for me at the door,” Captain Hu instructed, “Oh, and close the door when you leave.”
Shen Qianqian was momentarily startled but complied nonetheless.
Bang.
The door closed.
However, the sound insulation of the office door wasn’t very effective, and Shen Qianqian suddenly heard the wailing of Hu Daqiang from inside.
“Chief, I can’t do this job as captain!”
“Lacking forensic doctors, staff, and equipment, how am I supposed to solve the case?”
“Now, without a single clue, you might as well fire me!”
“Seven days! I can’t solve the case at all!”
“Wuu wuu wuu…”
“If you can’t send someone from above, the only option I have left is to hire an outside genius detective.”
“We are dealing with three human lives, and I have no other choice. You might as well fire me.”
“…”
Not long after.
“It’s settled.”
Hu Daqiang casually walked out of the office.
Shen Qianqian tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Captain Hu, you…”
Hu Daqiang laughed heartily, “I just called the chief commissioner, he has always had complete trust in the way I handle things. Let’s go, I’ll personally take you, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Shen Qianqian responded with a forced smile.
And so,
Hu Daqiang, with Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian in tow, hurried to Hengli Building.
The police car wailed through Anling City, speeding across highways busy with traffic through the dawn light, straight to the scene of the crime.
At this moment,
At the bottom of Hengli Building, there were police officers standing guard, sealing off the gym on the second floor and Hengli Company on the fourth floor.
The moment the police car stopped,
People nearby immediately surged forward with cameras and microphones in hand.
These were the major media outlets of Anling City.
“Captain Hu, is there any new clue in the case now?”
“With three homicides occurring one after another, what do you think is the root cause?”
“Do you have confidence in solving the case within seven days?”
“…”
Currently, not only Anling City but also Han River Province was paying close attention to the progress of these three homicide cases, as the public opinion was overwhelming.
Many journalists from the media were lingering around the crime scenes of all three cases, always ready for first-hand clues and news.
Facing the journalists, Hu Daqiang waved his hand, “The investigation is in progress and orderly, no further information can be disclosed.”
Having said that, he led Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian, and the forensic experts upstairs.
“Lin Chuan, Officer Shen highly recommended you for assisting with the investigation. I hope you won’t let us down!”
Hu Daqiang looked at Lin Chuan and spoke in earnest.
But in his heart, he still had doubts.
Lin Chuan, a 24-year-old writer of online literature, had penned the intellectually intriguing and perfect crime novel “This Assassin Is Too Professional”, and despite possessing considerable knowledge, investigating a case, especially a crime scene inspection, was worlds apart from fiction.
On the fourth floor, Hengli Company.
Lin Chuan, wearing shoe covers and gloves, stepped over the police tape and entered Hengli Company.
On the floor, outlines of the body were drawn for positioning the corpse, which lay on its side. Near the body, there were traces of handprints skidding across the surface.
In addition,
At the reception desk, there were two bloodstains from the victim’s collision, with no signs of struggle.
“This crime scene fabrication is still too amateurish,”
Lin Chuan reached his first conclusion.
Shen Qianqian frowned and asked, “Why do you say that?”
Lin Chuan walked to the front desk, pointed at the two bloodstains and explained, “These correspond to the wounds on the victim’s forehead. If her hands were not restrained, they would instinctively move to block and protect herself when her head was struck. Yet, there are no signs of the victim attempting to block in either collision.”
“Therefore, this is a clumsy postmortem fabrication.”
On the way, Lin Chuan had signed a confidentiality agreement and also seen photos of the injuries of the victim, Zhao Lian, whose hands bore no marks of strangulation.
Shen Qianqian and Hu Daqiang exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a trace of shock.
This was basically consistent with the conclusions drawn by the Criminal Police Brigade.
However, the Criminal Police Brigade spent several hours surveying the scene and analyzing the situation before arriving at this discussion, while it took Lin Chuan less than ten minutes to come to the same conclusion.
Isn’t this efficiency a bit too professional?
And besides, how could he be so familiar with a person’s reflexive response to stress if he hadn’t slashed a few people himself?
It surely couldn’t be that he was actually a genius detective, could it?
