Genius Detective - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: 87

Lin Dongxue sighed in relief and smiled . "Captain Peng, can you finish your words in one breath? What else did you find?"

Peng Sijue picked up the coffee that had cooled off on the table . "Before that, I want to hear Chen Shi's reasoning . "

Lin Dongxue was helpless, but one rank could crush you to death[1] . She did not have the power to order Peng Sijue to do anything, so she could only regurgitate Chen Shi’s reasoning in detail .

After listening to it, Peng Sijue nodded . "As expected of him . He’d rather die than say such melodramatic things . Every single time, he thinks outside the box . "

"Captain Peng, listening to the way you both talk about each other, it seems like you two are good friends?"

"But although this reasoning seems perfect, there is a loophole . The lover turned back a few hours later . Why did he come back? Did he come back to commit suicide? If so, then he did not need to kill a witness . "

"Maybe he didn’t go back to commit suicide; he probably . . . Went back to deal with his girlfriend's body . "

"What made him give up the idea of suicide?"

"Isn’t it possible that from the beginning, he didn't plan to commit suicide . . . Well, Captain Peng, don't lead my appetite on; tell me your discovery . "

Peng Sijue went back to the main topic . "The number of bacteria in the mouth of the female deceased is far higher than average . That is to say, there is a high probability she kissed someone before death . But, the number of bacteria in the mouth of the male victim is below the average . One more thing; the male victim has a slight oral inflammation . If he had kissed the female victim, the female would have a large amount of streptococcus, helicobacter pylori, etc . in the mouth, but we did not find it in her mouth . "

"That is to say, they did not kiss each other . "

"It should be said that it is another person who kissed the female victim . "

Lin Dongxue was uplifted; Chen Shi’s reasoning was correct . The murderer was the lover, Cheng Chao!

She immediately informed Lin Qiupu of this discovery . Lin Qiupu was still immersed in the frustration of catching the wrong person . After listening to Lin Dongxue, the task force was adjusted to finding the whereabouts of Cheng Chao .

This search took another two days . Cheng Chao seemed to have evaporated from the human world . During the period, they confirmed the true identity of the male victim . He was named Zhang Xiang and was an ordinary white-collar worker in Long'An City .

After a few days of rotations, Lin Dongxue was exhausted . When she got off work, she saw Chen Shi’s car parked outside . Her colleagues joked, “Your boyfriend came to pick you up . ”

Lin Dongxue blushed as she got into the car . "Is it on the way?"

"No, I’m here to ask you how the case has progressed . "

"Cheng Chao seems to have disappeared . "

"Could he have escaped out of town?"

“Impossible; his personal information has been sent to all departments of transportation . ”

Chen Shi smiled and took a thermal out . Lin Dongxue opened it and saw that it was a delicious chicken congee, which made her happily surprised .

"I made it when I had nothing better to do in the afternoon . Why don’t you try it? I decided to help you all with some of your work . Today, I went to find An Xu . "

"What did you find him for?" Lin Dongxue asked as she ate the delicious chicken congee with its beautiful aroma .  

"I was curious . Didn’t we reason it out before and agree that An Xu may be lying? I found something . Although An Xu is the son of a company's boss, his company seems to not be doing well recently and An Xu himself owes money . ”

"Really?"

"I asked him if he knew where Cheng Chao was and he was obviously flustered . "

"But, logically, he wouldn’t be helping Cheng Chao? Or is there another hidden reason?"

“Have you noticed that he wore a gold necklace?”

"Yes, I’ve noticed . "

"I added him on Weibo and from looking at his previous photos, it seems that this gold necklace was only bought recently . "

Lin Dongxue was even more confused .  Was this related to the disappearance of Cheng Chao?

"I’m not going to discuss this further with you . I’ll send you home first and I’ll look for him again tomorrow . "

"Hey, you shouldn’t keep paying him visits . I am afraid that if he knows anything, he will be scared off by you . "

"You’re worrying about my questioning skills?" Chen Shi blinked .

When Lin Dongxue was sent to her residence, Chen Shi drove home . While he was waiting for the red light, he opened Weibo and found that An Xu had made a suspicious post on Weibo, which detailed that there are dangers to prowling out on the streets . If you continue to be a tortoise that shrinks its head back, then you’ll definitely suffer the consequences .

Suddenly, Chen Shi had an epiphany and called Lin Dongxue, but she never answered . At this time, the light turned green . He dropped the phone and immediately went to An Xu’s residence .

An Xu lived in a high-end residential area . When Chen Shi got to the community, he saw a car driving out . The person in the car was An Xu . He immediately reversed and parked the car under a tree’s shadow . After An Xu left, he tailed him .

He dialed Lin Qiupu’s phone and asked curtly, “Do you want to solve the case?”

"What?" Lin Qiupu's tone revealed surprise .  

"I will send the coordinates to you now; send someone to follow my car . The suspect may appear . "

Chen Shi directly hung up the phone before Lin Qiupu had the opportunity to answer .

He followed An Xu all the way until An Xu parked near an ATM machine . A person holding a bag got on the car and then the two drove off again .

After tailing them for a while, they came to a secluded road where the car in front suddenly stopped . The two people got off the car and Chen Shi squinted his eyes with full alert . He put his phone in his shirt pocket and also got off the car .

After seeing Chen Shi's face, An Xu smiled . "Oh, I wasn’t sure who it was? It turned out to be the policeman in the morning . "

The person beside him wearing a sweater and a hood had their whole face shrouded in the shadows . Chen Shi gestured with his chin, "Your boyfriend?"

"Fuck off!"

"You’re called Cheng Chao, right? No need to hide; I know what you look like . "

The young man was stunned before slowly taking off his hood . It was Jiang Mei’s boyfriend, Cheng Chao .

Chen Shi continued, "What is the bag you just brought onto the car? Money? If I didn't guess wrong, An Xu is willing to help you lie because you bought him . Although I don't know how you suddenly became rich, but this is the only reasonable answer . "

"You are so smart!" Cheng Chao praised . "You’re like a detective in a novel . Do you want to hear my story?"

"I’ll clear my ears up and listen . "

"I have been dating Xiao Mei for two years . I love her very much and she loves me too . . . "

"Don't talk about her in front of me, it's disgusting!" An Xu violently said .

"Can you not interrupt the story?" Chen Shi looked at An Xu .

An Xu rolled his eyes and went aside to smoke a cigarette while squatting on the side of the road .

Cheng Chao continued his story, saying that he was dismissed by Xiao Mei’s parents because of his background . When he went to her house for dinner that day, her mother asked a lot of hard questions while her father said a lot of ugly words . Cheng Chao couldn’t believe that such a couple would actually have an angel of a daughter .

Xiao Mei didn't know that later on, her father found Cheng Chao and gave him a sum of money to ask him to leave Xiao Mei . It was not too much . Maybe he thought that the 100,000 yuan would make a poor boy change his heart . Cheng Chao certainly did not agree .

Xiao Mei’s father pointed at his nose and shouted that with his connections, Cheng Chao could make a living in Long’an .

Soon after, Xiao Mei’s other pursuer, An Xu, who had a similar background as her, came to his door and taught Cheng Chao a lesson . He also smashed his computer . In it were the paintings and comic strips he had spent a long time creating with a lot of effort .  

Cheng Chao hated this unfair world, but what could he do? He was a poor man…

1 . They mentioned that one stripe could crush you to death . This is because the higher your rank in the police force, the more stripes and stars you get .
