Chapter 571: Chapter 281: The Secret Lies Within the Square Inch_2

"Now we need to go up and investigate the scene. Teachers, could you please arrange for the crowd to disperse? Otherwise, it will affect our investigation process."

"Alright, alright, no problem..."

The dean and others immediately began to disperse the nearby students, but such actions were completely unnecessary.

In the university campus, such horrific events spread like wildfire, and the street discussions and fermentation of the matter only added fuel to the fire.

At this moment, Luo Fei and his team had no time to worry about this, as they headed straight upstairs.

Everyone, including Zhang Wei and others, could see that to create such a death scene, the body had to be thrown from the top of the teaching building, making it very likely the primary crime scene.

Currently, Duan Ying’s body and her father, Duan Baoping, were temporarily sent back, and other on-site evidence collection work had been temporarily concluded...

The first group followed the crowded corridor and came to a classroom outside.

This was a storage room for some grade-level required crafts, and judging by the location, it was the optimal place for disposing of the body.

Luo Fei had already used his profiling skills downstairs to calculate it.

The primary crime scene must be in here!

As they pushed the door open, they were stunned.

The scene was still where the crime occurred, with bloodstains all over the floor and overturned tables and chairs. Surprisingly, there were no signs of cleaning...

It was as if the crime had occurred here, but the perpetrator had turned and left without bothering to clean up the mess.

What kind of heartless murderer could this be?

"This is insane; they didn’t even clean up the scene; it’s simply outrageous."

"It’s very likely he did this deliberately, but some things don’t add up. Wouldn’t such an arrangement leave clues?"

"Clues are definitely left behind!"

Luo Fei answered decisively.

"I think there are two reasons why the perpetrator didn’t clean up here thoroughly."

"The first is that the perpetrator intended to kill here and was fearless about it, convincing themselves not to care because they were mentally prepared for covering it up or its exposure in the future. Such people have astonishing psychological resilience."

"The second is that conditions didn’t allow for it. The bloody situation here is very messy. The killer must have considered the environment and realized it was best to leave as soon as possible after killing and disposing of the body; staying here would risk being noticed by students once exiting."

Luo Fei’s analysis made sense, and Zhang Wei and others nodded in agreement.

When they came up earlier, they noticed a high frequency of student traffic on this floor.

Although no one entered the storage room, any slip-up upon exiting would risk being noticed.

"It seems the perpetrator can already be confirmed as someone within the school; otherwise, they wouldn’t handle it so skillfully."

"Can’t we just check who last entered here? If this is the murder scene, there must be clues."

"I thought of that just now, but the surveillance on this level is limited."

Luo Fei pointed to the distance.

"The surveillance on this level is located on the other side of the corridor, which doesn’t cover here, so it’s conveniently a blind spot."

"I think the killer should have realized this as well."

Zhang Wei and others sighed upon hearing this. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Sigh."

"This will be like searching for a needle in a haystack again; with so many people in the school, even if we screen all the suspects, it could still take a lot of time."

Lin Jie also added from the side.

"Yeah, we don’t understand this girl named Duan Ying yet, so we can’t analyze the killer’s identity."

While the three of them discussed this matter, Luo Fei had already returned to the storage room.

There are many reasons why this place hasn’t been visited.

Maybe it’s because recent curriculum has no use for it.

Or perhaps it’s only occasional visits by teachers to fetch things, making it a generally idle area.

The person who knows these conditions must also be a member of the school.

This scope is already quite limited!

The reason Zhang Wei and others felt troubled was because they had no leads.

But it’s different for himself!

With the skills in profiling and thinking gaps, deciphering clues from this classroom filled with doubts and flaws is not difficult.

Then Luo Fei started walking along the walls of the room, observing the central area from different directions.

The bloodstains on the floor, with some even splattered on the tables, indicated that the clash and killing process between the two sides was not intense, as shown by the intact crafts scattered around.

This made the case more interesting.

If the killer and Duan Ying met here for a rendezvous or other reasons, it could be explained.

But if that were the case, why did it evolve into a murder? Could it have been premeditated?

"Leader, what are you looking at?"

At this critical moment, Zhang Wei and others ran over, interrupting Luo Fei’s train of thought, causing some awkwardness.

Just as he was about to analyze the actions and details of both parties here, a sudden remark pulled him back.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about their modus operandi. It’s still a bit too early to identify the perpetrator now; there are many suspects. Rushing to investigate might alert them, so let’s first use elimination to find some details and aim to hit the target in one go."

Luo Fei explained earnestly.

He Xin suddenly pointed at the footprints under the table, some chaotic footprints.

"Leader, look, there are bloody footprints here!"

Luo Fei was a bit surprised to hear it, not expecting footprints under the pillar. How did they get there?

Could it be the victim and suspect rolled down there?

The group followed He Xin’s gaze and looked down, seeing several chaotic footprints in a congealed blood area, now still relatively clear.

From the patterns above, it could be seen that these were two people’s shoe prints.

However, the sizes were relatively small, unlike men’s shoe sizes, more fitting female foot shapes and styles...

Two girls?

Luo Fei touched his chin, pondering the suspects. Could the killer also be a woman? No, it’s not that simple.

This could very well be a cover-up, and it’s not wise to conclude impulsively.

"One of these is more severely smeared, likely from struggling, so it’s most probably the victim’s."

"The other one..."

Zhang Wei leaned on the ground, shining a flashlight inside.

"Steadily planted, not at all chaotic. If we recreate the scene, this should be the killer’s footprint. But why does the bloodstain from this footprint tread seem peculiar?"

"It seems someone deliberately smeared... The blood smudge isn’t splattered or inconsistent, which defies logic."

Luo Fei crouched down and looked closely at the area.

"Hmph, an interesting trick, but still too immature."

The few people beside him didn’t understand what the leader meant.

Luo Fei pointed within the area that seemed to have been smeared, his tone becoming serious.

"If there were two people here, one as the killer and the other as the victim, then there should only be two types of footprints."

"But if one of the footprints has been meticulously altered or if the blood on the floor was smeared and stepped upon again, then it proves there was a third party here, intending to cover it up."

"This killer has an accomplice, or rather, an accomplice willing to be a scapegoat."

"A person truly willing to sacrifice themselves to thwart the truth!"

With that, Luo Fei took a deep breath, finding this situation somewhat unnerving, with obstacles set at every turn for the police.

"The mystery lies within the details!"

"We just need to find out who deliberately altered the scene, and everything will become clear."

Upon hearing this, the three people nearby showed bitter expressions.

Finding the killer was already hard enough, and this new twist only made it more challenging.
