Chapter 5
Half an hour later, a large group of detectives from the second search and arrest unit began to investigate the scene.
Liang Wenyuan was sitting handcuffed in the living room, with Liu Qingshan and Chen Yan sitting at the side. Liu Qingshan asked, “Chen Yan, why are you so sure that this is not a missing person’s case but… a murder case?”
Why was he so sure?
Chen Yan touched his nose. “Master, it’s because Liang Wenyuan lied.”
“Lied?”
“Yes, he lied! Liang Wenyuan said that recently, other than him and his wife, only our team members have been in his house. Including you and me, that’s a total of eight people. But, there’s the smell of nine people in his house! Why would he lie all of a sudden for no reason?”
“Do you think he killed someone just based on this?” Liu Qingshan had an impulse to beat his disciple to death.
Liang Wenyuan worked during the day, and only his wife was at home. What if someone from the property management had come that he didn’t know?
Besides, what kind of nose did Chen Yan have? How could he even tell how many had been in the other party’s house?
“That’s only one aspect,” Chen Yan pointed to the kitchen and frowned again, “He should have cooked meat recently in the house. There is the residual fragrance of meat in the house.”
Meat fragrance?
Liu Qingshan was also an old detective. When he heard Chen Yan’s words, he vaguely guessed what Chen Yan meant.
Liu Qingshan’s expression changed drastically and his voice trembled. “You… You mean?”
Chen Yan nodded with some difficulty, “When I was in the police academy, I accidentally came into contact with it once. That scent… I will never forget it for the rest of my life!”
When he thought of the smell he smelled on the balcony, his stomach churned.
…
Two hours later, the staff responsible for investigating the scene had finished their work and packed up the relevant equipment.
“How is it?” Liu Qingshan asked anxiously.
If they found any clues, it would be a shocking case.
However, if they didn’t find anything, he and Chen Yan would be in trouble.
Especially Chen Yan. Let alone becoming an official policeman early, it would be good enough if he wasn’t fired.
The detective in charge of investigating the scene glanced at Liu Qingshan, “Old Liu, there might be some misunderstanding here. We didn’t find anything.”
Didn’t find anything?
Liu Qingshan was livid.
Why did he believe Chen Yan so blindly?
He was in trouble now.
“Officer Liu! I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding here! My wife has been missing for three days. Not only do you have no clues, but you even handcuffed me. I will definitely file a complaint! Definitely!” Liang Wenyuan was roaring like an angry lion at this moment. His roar shook Liu Qingshan’s ears so much that they were ringing.
Fortunately, they hadn’t sent the person to the station, so there was still room for the situation to ease up, “Mr. Liang, it’s our fault for offending you. Please…”
“Master!” Chen Yan interrupted Liu Qingshan and stood up abruptly, “There is definitely something wrong with him. Please believe me this time!”
Liu Qingshan looked at Chen Yan speechlessly. What was there to believe? He was about to lose his police uniform.
“Master! I’ll use my police uniform to guarantee that there’s something wrong with him!” Chen Yan took a step forward and looked calmly at the angry Liang Wenyuan. “Liang Wenyuan, you think that your work is flawless, but in reality, it is full of loopholes!”
Haha!
Liang Wenyuan was so angry that he laughed. “Officer Chen, is it? Tell me, how am I full of loopholes? If you don’t tell me the whole story today, I will risk my life to make you lose your police uniform! You don’t have the ability to solve the case, yet you’re quite good at bullying us, the commoners!”
Chen Yan gave Liu Qingshan a reassuring look. He then sat opposite Liang Wenyuan and looked at him calmly, Liang Wenyuan, you killed your wife, Zhang Jingya, on February 4th, right?”
“Bullsh*t!” Liang Wenyuan roared, “My wife goes out to buy vegetables every day. It’s shown clearly on the surveillance footage in the neighborhood. How could I have killed my wife on the 4th?”
Liu Qingshan nodded. He had seen the recent videos, and it was indeed as Liang Wenyuan said.
Zhang Jingya did not usually go out, but she would drive out to buy groceries every morning at 7 a.m. and return at 8 a.m.
“Hehe, can’t you disguise as your wife and pretend to go out?” Chen Yan pointed at the photo wall behind Liang Wenyuan, “Liang Wenyuan, you and your wife are about the same height and build. It’s winter now, so you can just disguise yourself as your wife by wearing a down jacket! Also, your driver picks you up at 9 a.m. every morning, which allows you the time to pretend to be Zhang Jingya.”
“Xiao Chen, this deduction of yours is a little far-fetched,” Before Liang Wenyuan could say anything this time, Chen Yan’s colleague who was at the side shook his head, “We’ve seen the footage of Zhang Jingya. Although we can’t see her face clearly due to the angle of the surveillance camera, her hair was dyed blue. We’ve compared it carefully. Recently, it’s definitely the same person.”
“That’s right, Officer Chen. You should learn from your colleague and be more careful when doing things!” Liang Wenyuan looked gratefully at the policeman who spoke.
Chen Yan shook his head. “Liang Wenyuan, you did a good job at this point, but you missed a detail.”
Huh?
Chen Yan took the electronic tablet beside him and opened the surveillance video, “Zhang Jingya is left-handed, which is different from the average person. She always opens the driver’s seat door with her right hand. However, from the 5th onwards, Zhang Jingya started to use her left hand to open the driver’s seat door. How do you explain this?”
“Hehe, how would I know?” Liang Wenyuan pointed at the tablet and sneered, “Is which hand she uses to open the car door very important? When I open doors, I use both hands!”
However, other than Liang Wenyuan, the expressions of the members of the search and arrest changed slightly.
Door-opening was a habitual and subconscious action.
Generally speaking, right-handed people would use their left hand to open the door to the driver’s seat, while left-handed people were more used to opening the door with their right hand. They would not change easily.
This was because it was a subconscious action. If one did not deliberately take note of it, one would not even notice it.
“As for the issue of hair color,” Chen Yan paused, “As long as you kill Zhang Jingya, remove her scalp, and put it on your head, there will naturally be no flaws.”
“Haha,” Liang Wenyuan stood up agitatedly, “Officer Chen, you accuse me of killing someone just because of the different hands in opening the car door?”
“Of course not,” Chen Yan spread his hands and pointed at the northwest corner of the living room, “Liang Wenyuan, after you killed your wife, you put the bones in the living room. Do you think we police are blind?”
Boom!
Chen Yan’s words were like a bomb. Not only did Liang Wenyuan’s expression change drastically, but even Liu Qingshan and the others were also shocked.
“Nonsense!” Liang Wenyuan stood up agitatedly and pointed at the two skeletons. “These two skeletons are made of plaster, how can they be human bones?!”
“Xiao Chen…” The detective who was in charge of investigating the scene also pointed at the skeletons, “Mr. Liang… Liang Wenyuan is right. I looked at these two skeletons just now and they are indeed made of plaster. The imitation male skeleton is about 1.6 meters tall, and the imitation female skeleton is about 1.5 meters tall. The missing Zhang Jingya is 1.68 meters tall, and the height of her skeleton should be about 1.63 meters.”
To put it bluntly, these two skeletons did not match the height of a normal adult skeleton.
Chen Yan was quite aware of what his colleague had said, but the height of the skeletons could be faked.
To be honest, he hadn’t examined the two skeletons carefully, but the faint smell of blood indeed come from that direction.
When he had passed by the glass room to go to the balcony, the smell of blood had suddenly become stronger.
In addition to the personal information of Liang Wenyuan in the case file, Chen Yan was sure that there was something wrong with the skeletons.
“Mr. Liang, don’t be agitated,” Chen Yan looked at Liang Wenyuan with a half-smile, “It’s just two plaster skeletons. Can’t we just break one of its bones and take a look?
“Mr. Liang, don’t worry. If there is no problem with these two skeletons, I will compensate you for your loss!” Seeing Liang Wenyuan’s nervous expression, Liu Qingshan’s eyes lit up.
Crack!
The sound of the skeleton’s bone breaking was like a steel knife stabbing into Liang Wenyuan’s heart.
