Mystery

Chapter 6 Fingerprints That Don't Exist
Qi Huan nodded with a smile, showing eight teeth.

He has short, clean hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he smiles, there are deep dimples on both sides, which is the kind of appearance that old people would trust to take out their bank cards and transfer money to him.

"I'll go right away. I know Chaoyang Apartment very well. It's only for rent and not for sale. The house has been renovated. If tenants want to make changes, they can only use a decoration company named Jianli appointed by the apartment."

"When Chaoyang Apartment first moved in, there was a small fire. A decorator smoked and lit the house. The fire was not serious. Someone called the police. After the police arrived, the fire was put out."

"Since then, Jianli Decoration Company has not allowed the master to smoke."

Qi Huan looked like a student, but he spoke very old-fashionedly, "But master, how can you bear it? Deputy Shen, you don't smoke. After Zhu Zhumei's accident, you rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and Wang Haibin will delay cleaning up the scene. There are only a few minutes left."

"Where he was squatting, there was a pile of cigarette butts. I think in all likelihood, a decorator squatted there secretly smoking."

"Wang Haibin said he heard the sound of the 1307 electric drill, so he went to renovate the wardrobe. He also said that the decoration can only be done in the afternoon. Although there is no surveillance in the corridor, there may be witnesses who saw the anonymous man who was elusive."

When Shen Ke heard this, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Qi Huan.

Seeing that Qi Huan was also looking at her, he didn't know how to react for a while, so he nodded slightly.

She lowered her head and looked at the watch on her hand. It was already eight o'clock.

Shen Ke closed the computer and walked towards the door on her own, only when she reached the door did she remember Li Yuan who was still in the room.

Since entering the meeting room, this person has not said a word, like a ghost, without any sense of existence.

Zhao Xiaomeng and Qi Huan had a work arrangement and had already left on their own. The door of the meeting room was open, and the heat wave seemed to pour in through the corridor window.

Chen Mo noticed Shen Ke's gaze and patted Li Yuan's shoulder, "Xiao Shen is very experienced, don't look at her young age. She is in the junior class. She went to university at the age of 14 and went abroad to study for a master's degree. Been working for several years."

"Li Yuan used to be a special police officer, and even worked as an undercover agent. He is also very capable. He just returned to Nanjiang, and he is not familiar with the procedures in the bureau. Take him with you, Xiao Shen."

"Li Yuan, if you have anything you don't understand, just ask Xiao Shen. There's no bullets here, and it might be different from what you did before, so take your time and don't worry."

Li Yuan let out an "um" and stood up.

Shen Ke is close to 1.7 meters tall, which is considered a tall girl in the south.Li Yuan was half a head taller than her.

This movement of his, like a dozing cheetah suddenly opened its eyes, made Shen Ke instantly vigilant.

"Hello, Shen Ke, I'm Li Yuan", Li Yuan said, stretching out his right hand towards Shen Ke.

Shen Ke lowered her head and saw that this man had thin calluses on his fingertips, and there was a scar on the outside of his exposed wrist, which looked like he had been burned.

She stretched out her hand, shook it lightly, said nothing, and walked out with the computer in her arms.

……

Cao Ren was already waiting in the interrogation room.

The moment Shen Ke pushed the door open, he immediately stood up.

"Officer Shen, I'm a very good person! If I kill Zhu Zhumei, I can still follow your orders and come to the police station by myself? I should run away immediately, right? No, I should not even answer the phone!"

"I really didn't kill Zhu Zhumei. My mother celebrated her birthday yesterday, so it's inconvenient to talk. Today I will answer whatever you ask, and I will never lie."

Cao Ren was about thirty years old, his hair was carefully permed, and his body smelled strongly of perfume.

He pointed to the big characters "Leniency for confession, strictness for resistance" written on the wall, and patted his chest.

Shen Ke didn't answer the call, and settled down opposite him in a business-like manner.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Li Yuan leaning against the door with arms crossed, not intending to sit down.

Cao Ren followed Shen Ke's line of sight and looked over, not daring to say anything, and sat down anxiously.

"What did you go to 1304? What were you doing while you were in the room for 18 minutes and 30 seconds?"

Shen Ke asked coldly, going straight to the point.

Cao Ren's eyes moved, and his expression became depressed, "I'm 30 years old, and I have started businesses several times before. I opened a restaurant and sold milk tea, but they all failed. Huachao was my most successful one. At the beginning, only Lilith and I are two people."

"She is the company's cash cow, and 70.00% of the company's income depends on her. Once she had an accident, I collapsed half the day and couldn't sleep for several days. Officer Shen, you investigated Lilith's case before, and you We all know."

"Yesterday was my mother's birthday. Lilith likes to eat the sweet and sour fish cooked by my mother. It was originally agreed to take her to my house for dinner. I bought a car for my mother, and Lilith and I went to pick it together."

"Although I am the boss, she is an employee. But after we have known each other for so long, how could it be possible that I have no feelings at all? I went in and looked around, trying to see if there was anything worth remembering, but Lilith's things were all taken away by her father. Mom took it away, and there is nothing left."

"I sat for a while, feeling hypocritical, and then came out again."

As Cao Ren spoke, he became agitated again, "Officer Shen, I am the least likely to kill Zhu Zhumei. Lilith is dead, so I point her at her to make money for me. If I kill her, it's not that I'm ruining myself." ?"

Shen Ke looked at Cao Ren quietly, without any fluctuation.

"Have you ever opened the closet?"

Cao Ren was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, "No, why should I open the closet? I don't."

"Zhu Zhumei broke up with Wang Haibin because of you?"

Cao Ren lowered his head and rubbed his nose, "No, what does it have to do with me when a young couple has conflicts?"

Shen Ke heard this and looked at Cao Ren with deep eyes.

Cao Ren was obviously lying.

"We found a hair in Lilith's closet. When the murderer entered the closet, he shaved it, and a hair was sucked on it. You know, the hair can be tested for DNA. And, we are on the murder weapon, Found your fingerprints."

"You killed Lilith, Zhu Zhumei knows, so you have to kill her to silence her!"

Cao Ren was startled, and stood up abruptly, only to hear a bang, and the chair behind him fell down and landed heavily on the ground.

Cao Ren couldn't care so much at the moment, Shen Ke's questioning was fast and ruthless, and he couldn't count all the answers he had planned in advance.

"Impossible! I never touched that kitchen knife!"

Shen Ke nodded, and said calmly, "Well, I remembered wrongly, your fingerprint was not extracted from the murder weapon."

She said, raised her head, and looked at Cao Ren, "According to your statement just now, you didn't touch the murder weapon, but you opened the cabinet door and saw a kitchen knife. You didn't deny the hair, you know, the DNA evidence is very unfavorable to you .”

As Shen Ke said, she raised her finger and pointed behind Cao Ren.

Impressively written on the back of it were the words, "leniency for confession and strictness for resistance."
