The Case of Love

Chapter 54 Leaves in the Trunk

"It seems that Ma Chungang and Lu Xiaotian really have an inseparable relationship!" Zhou Yifeng sighed.

"Lv Xiaotian is the financial manager of Yunjia Company, and Ma Chungang is Liu Yunjia's driver. If Lu Xiaotian transferred money to Ma Chungang, it must be Liu Yunjia's instruction. But why did Liu Yunjia give Ma Chungang so much money? Could it be that Ma Chungang did something for him?" Su Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yifeng and expressed her thoughts.

"It's very likely, and it must be something very important, otherwise, he wouldn't give him so much money." Zhou Yifeng agreed, "It seems that we need to ask Liu Yunjia to come over and have a chat!"

After saying that, Zhou Yifeng stood up and said, "Let's go, Xiaohan, to Yunjia Company!"

"Yes, Captain Zhou!" Su Xiaohan understood and left the Public Security Bureau building with him and drove straight to Yunjia Company.

At Lu Xiaotian's house, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan made a new discovery. They found a car purchase contract, which was purchased one month before Lu Xiaotian disappeared. In other words, Lu Xiaotian had a new car.

Li Zhisong found the car, which was a red sedan.

After leaving Lv Xiaotian's house, they went to Ma Chungang's house. Compared with Lv Xiaotian's house, Ma Chungang's house was much more shabby. Li Zhisong sighed that Ma Chungang was really a filial son, giving the best to his parents, while his own living conditions were very ordinary.

But Li Zhisong's respect for Ma Chungang did not last long, as it was broken by a surprising discovery. But Li Zhisong's respect for Ma Chungang did not last long, as it was broken by a surprising discovery. Under the toilet flush cover in the bathroom, they found a small bag of white fen powder. When Sun Yidan performed an autopsy on Ma Chungang, she did not find any signs of him taking drugs, so Li Zhisong concluded that Ma Chungang was not taking drugs, but was a drug dealer.

With the car purchase contract, Bai Fen and the wooden combs used by Lu Xiaotian, they returned to the team. Zhou Yifeng and others also returned one after another. Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan went to Yunjia Company, but did not find Liu Yunjia. According to the secretary, he had just gone on a business trip to W City. According to the time, he had already boarded the plane. Zhou Yifeng immediately contacted his colleagues at the W City Airport Police Station and asked for help in intercepting Liu Yunjia and sending him back to Beijing.

Zhu Xiaofeng and Xu Jungang also made some gains. A new employee who had just arrived for a short time accidentally revealed that he had seen Ma Chungang and Lu Xiaotian fighting in a nearby bar, but he just watched from a distance and did not dare to go forward.

Next, Sun Yidan needs to compare the DNA of Lu Xiaotian and the dead person in the river. If the dead person is Lu Xiaotian, the subsequent investigation will have a direction.

According to the license plate number on the car purchase contract, Li Zhisong contacted his colleagues in the traffic police team to help retrieve the vehicle's driving records. The driving records showed that the red car had been to Village F on February 2, which was exactly the time when Ma Chungang was killed. The last place the car was parked was a car repair shop in Xicheng.

Li Zhisong and Zhou Yifeng asked for permission to go to the repair shop to check, perhaps there would be some new discoveries.

At the repair shop, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan saw the brand new car. According to the owner of the repair shop, they felt very strange when Lv Xiaotian sent the car to be painted. Because the car was very new and had no scratches, there was no need to paint the whole car. However, they did not dare to question the customer's request and did not say anything. However, since Lv Xiaotian sent the car, it has been parked in the repair shop and no one has come to pick it up. They called Lv Xiaotian several times, but his phone was always turned off.

Li Zhisong increasingly felt that in this case, the missing Lu Xiaotian was not only a victim, but also a murderer who had done something bad and absconded.

"Boss, do you remember when Lu Xiaotian came to deliver the car?" Li Zhisong asked.

"I remember, it was February 2th. I came back from my hometown for the New Year and he delivered the car just after the business opened, so I remember it very clearly." The boss replied quickly.

Lu Xiaotian had just been to F Village and sent his car to the repair shop for painting. There must be something wrong! Li Zhisong glanced at Ma Nan and understood everything. "Boss, can we take a closer look at this car?" Li Zhisong asked politely.

"Of course!" the boss responded readily.

After a very careful search, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan found something on a dead leaf in the corner of the car trunk. A bit of dark red substance on the leaf caught their attention.

"The car is painted red. Could it be that paint splashed on it?" Ma Nan was not sure.

Li Zhisong looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Paint will become very hard after drying, but the substance on the leaf does not seem to be hard, so it is very likely blood! Let's take the leaf back to Sister Sun for examination!"

Taking the leaf, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan returned to the bureau and gave the leaf to Sun Yidan for inspection.

Sun Yidan took the evidence bag containing the leaves from Li Zhisong and said with a smile: "Zhisong, are you testing me? This 'bloodstain' is too small. It will be too difficult to extract DNA from it!"

"Sister, it may be difficult for ordinary forensic doctors, but for my sister, it is nothing, right? Sister, don't be so modest!" Li Zhisong said in a slick tone.

Although she knew that he was complimenting her on purpose, Sun Yidan felt very comfortable listening to it.

Sun Yidan worked overtime to compare the DNA extracted from Lv Xiaotian's hair with the DNA of the body in the river, confirming that the deceased was Lv Xiaotian. The next day, after repeated attempts, Sun Yidan and his apprentice finally extracted complete human DNA tissue components from the tiny bloodstains on the leaves. After comparison, they found that the bloodstains were not from Lv Xiaotian, but from Ma Chungang.

At this point, Lu Xiaotian's suspicion suddenly increased. Even if he was not the murderer of Ma Chungang, he was an accomplice who helped transport the corpse.

Zhou Yifeng asked someone to retrieve Ma Chungang's call records on February 2 and found that his last contact was Lv Xiaotian. Since then, his phone has had no outgoing calls, only a few missed calls.

Considering that Ma Chungang's father said that he and his son had not spoken to each other, but had contacted each other on WeChat, Zhou Yifeng was sure that someone had deliberately created the illusion that Ma Chungang was still alive. So, could this person be Lv Xiaotian?

It was late at night, but the Criminal Investigation Division office was still bustling. Zhou Yifeng sat in the middle, while Li Zhisong and others discussed the case. Su Xiaohan didn't say anything, as if she was thinking about something.

"Xiaohan, what do you think?" Zhou Yifeng asked when he saw Su Xiaohan keeping her head down.

Su Xiaohan came back to her senses and slowly raised her head and said, "I think based on the current situation, it is just like the idiom 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'. It is very likely that Lu Xiaotian was instructed by someone to kill Ma Chungang, and then was silenced by someone else."

"Who do you think this 'yellow bird' is?" Zhou Yifeng asked.
