Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 572 - 282: The Well-Received Suspect No.1!
"There’s a message."
Luo Fei glanced at his phone. It was information from his colleague about the scene of the death, and the basic evidence collection and investigation had reached a preliminary conclusion.
It could be determined that Duan Ying was initially stabbed, with damage to her internal organs, but she did not immediately lose her vital signs.
Instead, while she still had some breath left, she was thrown from a high building, resulting in a broken neck upon impact, leading to her death.
"Subjected to secondary victimization."
"She wasn’t killed directly, but was thrown off the building to ensure her death. That’s a matter for further discussion."
Luo Fei looked at the other three, who had also finished reading the message.
Everyone had their own theories at this point, so Luo Fei asked them to share their thoughts on the murder process.
Lin Jie was the first to speak.
"We can divide this incident into two parts. If the first person failed to kill the victim, then the third person who came in later is responsible for cleaning up the scene, similar to a ’cleaner’ profession."
"Makes sense."
He Xin and Zhang Wei continued the discussion, each contributing their ideas.
"The appearance of this mysterious third person can be categorized into a few scenarios: called in by the actual murderer, voluntarily coming in, or accidentally entering. The causality and factors involved here are quite complex."
"That said, the shoe prints found in the strategically avoided bloodstains can lead us to a new conclusion."
"That is, as our team leader indicated, regardless of the circumstances, the third person who appeared in the room was willing to cover up for the murderer, even at the risk of leaving their own traces."
"Such a self-destructive act is too risky, so I strongly suspect that either they have something held against them and must do it, or they’re acting out of fearless volition."
As they discussed this, applause suddenly broke out beside them.
It turned out that Luo Fei was applauding them, showing a gratified smile on his face.
"Good, very good."
"Your analysis and reasoning are logical and hit the mark. It seems our time working together has provided us with an opportunity for mutual progress."
The team leader’s praise left the three feeling a bit embarrassed.
His words were somewhat exaggerated. Their dabbling was not comparable to Luo Fei’s expertise.
Previously, at various murder mystery scenes, Luo Fei used his unique perspective to sift through clues, organizing the chaotic to a clear outline. That was a true work of expertise, bordering on the miraculous.
Their eyes turned to Luo Fei.
"Team leader, what should we do next?"
"Naturally, we should split up. The three of you should check out the two main social circles, primarily among the students, and gather intelligence. We’ll compile specific clues tonight."
"As for me, I’ll look into the faculty members who had a good relationship or conflicts with Duan Ying. After all, this is a university, divided into two factions, and the issues need to be resolved from both ends."
With that, they officially began their action!
Luo Fei first went to find Duan Ying’s teacher to learn more about the girl.
However, from their conversation, he could basically determine that the advisor and Duan Ying didn’t have a deep relationship since they were almost strangers in their daily interactions.
Duan Ying’s personality shone more among her peers.
She seemed to have a natural aversion to teachers, especially with the advisor where communication was sparse, to the point of not even speaking at critical times...
This was also why the advisor didn’t like her.
Luo Fei noted in his mind that this advisor was unlikely to be a suspect.
He then went to visit some instructors, but none of them had the means or conditions for the crime, let alone a motive.
"Officer, I really have no time. I just learned of this student’s incident..."
This was the response Luo Fei heard most of the afternoon.
This year was a pivotal time for the third-year students, as they needed to choose graduation thesis topics and prepare for their final project internships. The teachers were busy guiding their respective students, making work commitments the primary excuse.
At this point, Luo Fei suddenly thought of an important figure.
And that was Duan Ying’s own advisor!
If there’s anyone who intersected most with her during this special university time, it would likely be the advisor directly responsible for her thesis and project guidance.
"Xue Zhiwen!"
Luo Fei obtained part of Duan Ying’s personal information from the dean, which included the name of her advisor.
"Judging by his photo, he doesn’t seem very old, just over thirty, yet he’s already attained the title of professor. Quite young and promising. Logically speaking, it’s not usually possible to reach such a level without considerable experience. It seems he’s an extraordinary person."
As Luo Fei reflected, he unwittingly walked into a public classroom where a teacher was giving a lecture.
Suddenly, he found the teacher’s face somewhat familiar!
He stepped back a few paces, looked in from the other side of the door, and made an unexpected discovery.
The person lecturing at the podium was none other than Duan Ying’s thesis advisor, Xue Zhiwen!
