The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 181 - 144: Discovering the First Crime Scene of Death!
"I’m getting more and more convinced that the fitness trainer is the murderer."
After a moment of silence, Jiang An said, "Actually, personally, I think the likelihood of him being the murderer is small."
"Huh?"
"Why?"
Zhang Yean looked at Jiang An, puzzled.
At this moment.
Li Jian and Wan arrived at the pedestrian street in Jiangcheng City’s business district.
According to the shop address obtained from the records, the two of them turned right into an alley.
After walking 200 meters, they found the Shulan Clothing Store run by Wu Yan at the end of the alley.
From a distance, the shop was tightly locked.
Through the glass, Wan peered inside.
He asked, "Mr. Li, do we need to break in?"
Li Jian looked around and said, "At this time, there are quite a few people on the pedestrian street in the business district; we definitely can’t use force to enter."
"Check the vicinity to see if there’s a locksmith; ask them to come over and unlock it."
Wan nodded after hearing this and quickly left.
Li Jian looked up and noticed a high-definition surveillance camera hanging at the top right of the door. The indicator light was on, showing it was in working condition.
He thought that with this camera, they could definitely gather more information for the investigation.
Five minutes later, Wan returned with a middle-aged man carrying a toolbox.
"Mr. Li, this is the locksmith."
Li Jian nodded and stepped back immediately.
The locksmith put down his toolbox, took out his tools, and prepared to unlock the door.
In less than 30 seconds, the door lock was opened.
"That’s so fast."
"You were able to unlock such a long horseshoe lock so quickly."
The locksmith smiled, "This type of horseshoe lock is relatively easy to open, but fingerprint and electronic locks are much more complex."
He took the payment offered by Wan and left with his toolbox on his back.
Immediately, Wan pushed open the glass door, and the two of them walked in.
Li Jian glanced around and found that the shop covered an area of about 40 square meters.
The four walls inside the shop were hung with clothes of different styles. In the northeast corner, there were two fitting rooms.
Next, the two of them carefully inspected the interior.
Wan said, "The clothes in this store are hung so neatly, and there’s no visible trace of fighting or disturbance inside."
Li Jian nodded.
"This shop has a glass door and is close to a busy area."
"Even if the murderer were bold, it’s unlikely they’d commit murder here."
As he spoke, Li Jian walked over to the cash register, a wooden cabinet with all its drawers unlocked.
He opened the drawers to check; the first layer contained sales receipts.
The second contained clothing promotional brochures and posters.
The third had a key and a residential entry card.
Seeing this, Li Jian’s eyes suddenly brightened, and his tense facial skin relaxed a bit.
He quickly said, "We’ve found it."
"Found what?"
Wan, confused, quickly ran over.
"The key to the deceased Wu Yan’s house and the residential entry card."
Wan glanced at the entry card, and the cover read, "Jiangpan Residence Owner Card."
"That’s a high-end community."
"People like us can’t afford it."
"The deceased Wu Yan was indeed a small business owner."
Then, Wan commented, "This is such a coincidence; our luck is really maxed out."
"With the entry card and key, we can immediately locate the deceased’s home."
Li Jian smiled.
"It’s likely that the deceased Wu Yan just left a spare card and key in the drawer."
Wan took the entry card and key.
"Whether it’s spare or not, it’s entirely for our case-solving purposes now."
Forty minutes later, the two drove to Jiangpan Residence.
At the entrance of the property center, Li Jian identified himself.
"Hello, we’re officers with the Jiangcheng City Bureau’s criminal investigation team and want to check which floor and unit Wu Yan lived on."
The front desk staff glanced at the credentials, "Please wait a moment; I’ll check right away."
Soon, the property service personnel found Wu Yan’s residence.
"Building 3, 12th floor, unit 1."
Li Jian quickly nodded and said, "Thank you!"
Without delay, Li Jian and Wan took the elevator directly to Building 3, 12th floor, unit 1.
Standing at the door, Li Jian and Wan drew their police guns from their waistbands, standing on either side of the entrance.
The two exchanged a look and then nodded.
Li Jian raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
After a moment, there was no response.
He then knocked several more times, much harder than before.
There was still no response. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
At this time, Li Jian said, "I estimate that there might be no one inside; let’s open it with the key."
Soon, Wan took out the key from his pocket.
With a "click," the security door was opened.
Li Jian and Wan, one after the other, walked inside.
They inspected everywhere from the entrance, living room, to the bedroom, and bathroom without missing a spot.
Clearing the scene and ensuring safety is the first step.
If the murderer suddenly rushed out, they might be sacrificed.
After making a round, the two returned to the entrance of the living room.
"All clear!"
Li Jian put away his gun, placing it in its holster, and dialed Jiang An’s number.
"Jiang An, organize the investigation team to come to Jiangpan Residence, Building 3, 12th floor, unit 1 right away."
"We’ve already found Wu Yan’s residence."
Hearing this, Jiang An was also very excited.
Immediately, he said, "Okay! Captain! I’m on my way."
Twenty minutes later, Jiang An, Zhang Yean, and other personnel responsible for the scene investigation arrived at Jiangpan Residence.
