Chapter 272: The Truth About Delayed-Delivery



Lin Dongxue said, “I think it's impossible . At that time, Xiaodong and I pushed people out . The shoe rack on the left side of the living room could not hide anyone and there was a door on the right side . They could have hidden there, but they would have had to go past Xiaodong and I . ”

Xu Xiaodong agreed, “Yeah, yeah . Unless the killer attached themselves to the ceiling like a ninja . ”

The questioner said, “You said you didn't turn on the lights at the scene . Are you sure you could see them if they tried to hide?”

“I’m sure!”

As a result, the police were divided into two factions as they argued over this issue . Chen Shi did not participate and was still looking through Peng Sijue's documents and photos .

“I think!” Chen Shi began, making everyone quiet down for a moment . “From the Weibo sent by the killer, he showed a very calm attitude towards this crime . If I were a killer, I must have had a perfect way to leave the room in order to bravely post a Weibo that would draw people in from the outside . So, it is more likely that the killer somehow delayed the Weibo post and he left the crime scene long ago . ”

A questioner said, “Brother Chen, I know you are a smart person, so you always love to think about these tricky criminal methods . However, the killer may not be as clever as you . Maybe they just used the stupid method I talked about . ”

“No, the murderer is definitely a smart person! Imagine what the situation was like back then . The man was hotly debated on Weibo . Countless people were scolding and searching for him . Two TV stations came to interview him . The police were right outside his house . If the killer came to kill him due to personal hatred, he wouldn’t have picked such a risky time to do it . However, the murderer turned up and created an impossible murder case . They even sent a Weibo post to 'show off' . I think they are an extremely intelligent and calm person!”

Chen Shi's words persuaded many policemen as they nodded .

Lin Dongxue felt that there was no benefit in discussing it further . She assigned the tasks accordingly . Since some people suspected the TV station, they were asked to investigate the TV station's people . Others continued to investigate the situation in the community .

“Adjourned!” Lin Dongxue announced .



After the people left, there were still Lin Dongxue, Peng Sijue, Chen Shi, and Xu Xiaodong left in the meeting room . Xu Xiaodong said, “Let me make an immature suggestion! I think the killer is an enthusiastic Internet user . About 8:00 last night, this man’s address was published on the Internet . Everyone had a chance to commit the crime . . . Isn’t the scope of suspects quite large?”

Chen Shi clapped and said, “Xiaodong's opinion is very good!”

“Hey, aren't you ridiculing me?” Xu Xiaodong was a bit wary .

“No, I also think that the killer must have found out about this situation from the Internet and then taken action . Your angle is correct . ”

Lin Dongxue said, “The general range is available . The man was still alive at 11:00 last night . We will investigate the people who came in and out of the community after 11:00 . . . In addition, I'm going to meet Miss Jiang[1] . She may not know about this yet . ”

“You got Miss Jiang's key last night, didn't you?” Chen Shi asked suddenly .

“Yes, what's the matter?”

“Give me the keys . ”

“I want to return it to her though . . . ”

“The locks are broken already, so what’s the point? It also counts as evidence!”

Xu Xiaodong said, “Dongxue, I’ll go with you . I need to return the cat to her . ”



Peng Sijue said, “The cat needs to come here for a check-up first . ”

Thus, Xu Xiaodong went home to pick up the cat . Peng Sijue continued ahead and did an in-depth autopsy . Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue were sitting outside the forensics lab . Chen Shi took out his phone and looked at it very seriously . Then, he suddenly smiled . All the speculations that could be possible were already posted . Some even said it was done by a high-dimensional intelligent lifeform, so they weren’t found in the locked room . If this was the case, then they shouldn’t investigate the case further .

“What are you looking at?” Lin Dongxue leaned over . “No way . The discussion on the Internet is already this overwhelming?”

“The Weibo post was sent out last night and there were reporters at the scene . You think the case can be covered up?”


“Fortunately, it was the killer who sent it . Otherwise Captain Lin would scold me for leaking the news . . . Anything about it on the Internet?”

“No . A group of keyboard warriors who weren’t at the scene can’t give us any profound conclusions . ”

“Captain Lin! Captain Lin!” Someone was shouting .

Lin Dongxue was nervous for a moment . “My brother is here? . . . Oh, you’re calling me!”

The policeman said, “Captain Lin, we have some findings . ”

“Just call my name . You startled me . ”

“Okay, Captain Lin . ”

Chen Shi asked, “Are you a small captain now?”

Lin Dongxue smiled embarrassedly . “The smallest kind . ”

The forensics team found sialidase on the tempered film of the mobile phone . It was compared with the sialidase of the victim, but it didn’t match . Judging from its live-activity, it was left around ten hours ago . In addition, there was a trace of something that could not be identified .

“Saliva on the cell phone? Was there a lot?” Lin Dongxue was slightly surprised .

“There was quite a bit . It can be said that the entire screen was covered in it . ” The technical officer said .

Lin Dongxue opened her mouth and looked at Chen Shi . Chen Shi said, “How interesting . Literally licking the screen[2] . The murderer might have a strange hobby . ”

“What did you find?” Peng Sijue emerged from the forensic lab with the smell of disinfectant on his body .

The subordinates presented their findings again and Peng Sijue took a personal look before saying, “It's sialidase!”

“By the way, I found that the owner of this sialidase is not very healthy . The bacteria content in the mouth is very high . ”

Peng Sijue uttered a “hmm”, dripped reagents into the divided samples, and observed them under a microscope . He said, “This person is not only in poor health, but there’s amylase in their salivary enzymes . ”

“What is amylase?” Lin Dongxue asked .

Peng Sijue explained that it was a biological enzyme that breaks down starch in the human mouth and is found in most omnivores and herbivores .

Lin Dongxue frowned and thought, “This person usually doesn't eat starch? Are they trying to lose weight?”

Chen Shi laughed uncontrollably . “Stereotypical thinking kills people, it’s obviously the saliva of a carnivorous animal . ”

“How can there be a carnivorous animal at the scene . . . Ah!” Lin Dongxue realized suddenly . “That cat?!”

Peng Sijue picked up the phone and looked at it . “The cat licked the screen? Little Wang, did you say there was another ingredient that can't be detected?”

“It's an insoluble substance . I've never seen this compound before and there are no matching samples found in the laboratory . ” The forensics assistant replied .

Chen Shi said, “Why did the cat lick the screen? It must have been covered in the cat's favorite food . This problem will probably be cleared up when Xiaodong comes back . ”

During the waiting period, Chen Shi picked up the belongings of the victim and looked at them . Lin Dongxue noticed that he was comparing Miss Jiang's key with the victim's keychain and asked, “Did you find something?”

“A big discovery . Miss Jiang's key may not be able to open that door!”

1 . Previously, the author wrote “Miss Dong”, however, the author has changed it into “Jiang going forward it seems .  

2 . Apparently, he’s making a joke with regards to the modern Chinese slang where people talk about how sexy someone is on their phone, so much that they want to lick the screen . Chen Shi is saying that he actually licked the screen like a creep .
