Genius Detective - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: 90

Volume 7: The Father is Actually a…?

Lin Qiupu handled several documents in his office, and there was a cup of black tea on his table . It was a calm morning, which was rare .

The peace did not last long, as he was interrupted by the intrusion of a police officer . The other party knocked on the door and came in . "Captain Lin, a male body was found in Wu Yi New Village . "

"Okay, I understand . I will deal with it right away . "

He dialed an internal telephone number to Lao Zhang but found that no one answered, so he dialed through to his mobile . "Lao Zhang, a body has been found at Wu Yi New Village, you need to bring someone to deal with it . "

Lao Zhang apologized, "Captain Lin, my granddaughter has a fever today so I have taken the day off . Please find my apprentice, Xiao Li . ” 

Hearing this, Lin Qiupu made a phone call to Xiao Li . Xiao Li explained, "Captain Lin, I am currently assisting the fire department in handling a revenge arson case . "

Xu Xiaodong’s voice came through on the phone as well . "I am also at the fire department . "

"Okay, I’ll look for someone else . "

After a round of calls, it seemed like the day was full of coincidences . Everyone had something to do . Finally, he dialed Lin Dongxue’s phone . No one answered the phone . He panicked and dialed several more times before he discovered that the ringtone was coming from outside the office .

It turned out that Lin Dongxue’s mobile phone was thrown in the unit to charge . He asked a police administrator and asked where Lin Dongxue went . The other party informed him, “She took a day off to participate in a traffic safety class . ”

"Why did she go to . . . Oh, I forgot . Her driver's license is still being held in suspension!"

With the dilemma of having no subordinates available, Lin Qiupu pondered for a while . After some mental debating, he picked up his mobile phone to dial a number, but immediately hung up . He muttered to himself, "I really don't want to ask this guy!"

Finally, he sucked it up and dialed through . “Captain Lin, are you looking for me?"

"Where are you now?"

"People's East Road . "

“People’s East Road . . . Is that close to Wu Yi New Village?”

"Five minutes away, why? Is there a case?"

"A young man’s corpse was found in Wu Yi New Village . Can you help me deal with it? It may take a while for my people to rush over . "

"Everyone’s currently getting off work so the road is blocked . Don’t bother getting them to come over . I’ll bring the body back . ” 

"Hey, hey, you outsider! Don’t mess with anything!” 

“Don’t worry, I know the process . ”

Lin Qiupu shamefully said, "I owe you one; I’ll treat you once this is over . ”

"Haha, no thanks to the meal; just the bonus will be fine . "

Chen Shi hung up the phone . He had just taken Tao Yueyue to a school and talked to them about the transfer . He bought some dishes along the way to Wu Yi New Village . Tao Yueyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was not happy . Her lips were turned so far down, they could open a bottle cap .  

She overheard the contents of the phone call . Tao Yueyue questioned, "Uncle Chen, you have to help the police handle a case again?"

"Yeah, is my face really big?"

"Hmph!" Tao Yueyue remembered that she was still upset, so she turned her head away .

Chen Shi turned the car into a little residential community and showed his ID to the property management - the cover of the consultant card . The security guard beamed with relief . "Oh, you came! The community is in chaos already . ”

"Where should I park the car?"

"You can park over here . "

As Chen Shi parked the car,Tao Yueyue pushed the door open and quickly got off . He advised, "You should stay in the car . "

"No! I want to watch . "

"What kind of police officer would have a child in tow when investigating a crime?"

"You’re not a policeman . "

"Get back in the car!" Chen Shi ordered .

Tao Yueyue pointed to the security guard who wasn’t far away . "If you don't take me, I will tell him that you’re a fake policeman . "

Chen Shi sighed reluctantly . "Yueyue, be good . How about this? I promise to let you raise a hamster at home, okay?”

"No!"

Threats and temptations were not useful at all . After having seen how unreasonable the little girl was, Chen Shi smiled helplessly . "You can’t run around everywhere or bump into things . It would be very troublesome if you leave fingerprints . "

“Yes sir!” Tao Yueyue saluted respectfully .

Chen Shi took out fifty yuan and told her to go to the convenience store to buy some plastic bags and rubber gloves . Then, he walked over to the area where the security guard found the body, and briefly talked about the situation while walking with the security guard .  

The corpse was found in a leftover waste bucket in a certain community restaurant . In the afternoon, someone had come to collect the waste water . When the bucket was found to be unusually heavy, they used a stick to stir it . They stirred up an arm, scaring them to death .  

"What about the person who found the body?" Chen Shi asked .

"Well, we knew that you would want to talk to him, so we didn't let him go . . . How come you came alone?"

"Traffic jam; the other people will come later . "

"Oh, I understand!"

When they arrived at the door of the restaurant, they found a group of people gathered . They were all customers who were eating there . When they heard that there was a body in a bucket, they had put down their chopsticks, found the manager, and asked for their money back . Thus, the manager was surrounded by a large group of people . He could only desperately try to explain .  

The security guard inquired, "Should I bring the manager over?"

Looking at the scene, Chen Shi did not want to be the target of the public, so he shook his head . "No, we will go directly to see the body . "

The kitchen had a back door, and the chefs who had stopped working all stood around there to smoke and chat . Their faces were filled with a kind of gloating joy even though they had just found a body . Chen Shi glanced at the dark kitchen where a short and chunky man was lying down on a waterproof towel .  

Chen Shi asked, "Did you move him here?"

A chef replied, "Yes . "

"Moved him directly by hand?"

"Would you use your feet?"

Chen Shi shook his head and sighed, "What about the bucket?"

"This is the one . " There was a half-filled bucket next to the body .  

"Why is the kitchen so dark?"

"The lamp is broken . I’m preparing to find someone to repair it . This is the result . "

There was a noise in the crowd . "Children are not allowed to go in . "

Chen Shi clarified, "She’s with me . "

The chefs were surprised to see Tao Yueyue rushing through the crowd as she handed the gloves and plastic bags to Chen Shi . She bought herself a small pair and was already wearing it . She raised her hands and smiled cheekily .

"What are you doing with those?"

"To investigate the case!"

"Take them off . You need to help me take photos . Do you know how to do it? I need you to photograph wherever I tell you to . ”

"Yes sir!"

Chen Shi connected to the WIFI there and dialed a video call with Lin Qiupu . The picture presented in front of Lin Qiupu was a man lying in the darkness . He complained, "It's too dark . "

"There are no lights . Just bear with it . "

"Why is the body so dirty?" Then the camera moved to Tao Yueyue . "Who is this child?"

"It was found in the bucket . . . Oh, she is Tao Yueyue . "

"Who is Tao Yueyue? You’re bringing a child along? Can’t you be a bit more serious about this?"

"I can just solve the case for you then . Won’t it be alright then?"

"You can solve the case?" Lin Qiupu gave a look of disbelief .

"You don’t believe me? Let’s make a bet!"

"No . . . No gambling . "

Chen Shi smiled . He called Tao Yueyue over to take a photo . Every inch of the surrounding ground could not be missed . Then, he turned to the person who found the body . It was the one who went to pick up the water . "What time did you find the body?"

"4pm . "

"Do you come here every day to collect the waste water?"

"Yes, I have to run by three restaurants in total . The route and times are fixed . Because the pig farm is far away from here, I have to work hard to avoid peak traffic . "

"Do you take all the water away every day?"

"Yes . "

"And that’s the same with yesterday afternoon?"

"Yes, it was 4pm as well . "

Chen Shi asked the chef again, "How long does it take to fill such a big bucket?"

The chef replied, "Don't look at how big the bucket is . After each food period, half of it would be filled . This is especially true for the dinner period . The guests usually order soup a lot more during dinner . "

“Is the bucket usually placed outside?”

"Yeah, it’s smelly and heavy . How could we leave it in the kitchen? Nobody would steal it anyway… When I poured the leftovers inside at noon today, I found that the bucket was full, so I poured it into the other buckets . Who knew this bucket had a body in it . ” 

In the video call, Lin Qiupu said, "It seems like the body was put in the bucket last night . Retrieve the security footage!"
