Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

Chapter 545: A Dead Fish That Barely Moves

“If he is willing to come out to stabilize the situation, Tiffany & Co. will still have a slight chance at surviving and carrying on the project with Huang Yao. I’ve been in contact with him for some time. He is an upright and respectable character.”

“Will he agree to take over the mess? After all, a large sum of money is needed to fill the shortfall.”

“He has the most inheritance in his hands. So, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to stabilize the situation. Besides, he has a lot of business assets under his own company,” replied Sheng Bowen.

“If this is the case, you must do a proper job in this. Don’t let Huang Yao suffer. I have wronged you before. I’m very sorry to the two of you.” Grandpa Sheng suddenly apologized to Sheng Bowen. “I’ve understood many things after being ill for just one day. It just came as such a shock this time. But if I was seriously ill and became unconscious, I’m worried that you two might not be able to fight against Second Brother and his wife.”

“I’ve never thought that Second Brother would be this calculating.”

Outside the door, Gu Ziling was eavesdropping. When she heard about Sheng Bowen’s contact with the Tiffany family, she immediately called Sheng Kai. “Go and see the eldest young master of the Tiffany family. He can help you solve the problem. Apparently, Third Brother has been secretly contacting this young master all along.”

Gu Ziling’s words hit Sheng Kai with an impact. “Right! Why haven’t I thought of him before?”

“Kai, Grandpa has met with Sheng Xiao. I don’t know what they talked about. His damn assistant stopped me, so I couldn’t move.”

Sheng Kai knew this would happen. “It’s not your fault. You have helped me a lot.”

However, Sheng Bowen said that the eldest young master was an upright and respectable man. So, that meant that he was not one to simply make friends or see just anyone.

Could Sheng Kai meet up with such a person?

Let’s see about that.

In order to stop Gu Ziling from treating him as a seriously ill person, Grandpa Sheng got discharged from the hospital that night. After he got home, he acted as majestic as usual. But before going to bed, he called his lawyer. “We will meet outside tomorrow. I want to amend my will.”

…

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi had returned to the forensics laboratory. At that moment, the professor and Feng Shanshan were doing bloodstain pattern analysis.

Whether it was a passive stain, transfer stain, or impact stain, it told the murderer’s tracks.

Mu Qiqi had read articles about bloodstain pattern analysis in forensics columns before. However, it was her first time seeing it in person. It was like imitating a crime.

Based on the police’s deduction, the order of the death of the victims should begin with the one in the room, followed by the one at the stairs and then the one at the entrance of the hotel. However, in reality, the first one to die was the man at the entrance of the hotel, followed by the woman at the stairs, the other woman on the bed, and lastly, the man in the bathroom.

“The murderer should be a man about 1.75cm tall with physical disabilities. He has a serious case of intoeing on his left foot. If I’m not mistaken, he does not have an index finger on his left hand. As for his age, he should be in his forties and has some counter-reconnaissance skills,” Tang Yan told the rest.

The three were stunned by Tang Yan’s words. “Officer Tang, can you elaborate?”

“I make such deductions based on the height of the first male victim. The slash wounds on his body concentrate on his back. This shows that the murderer could reach this spot easily. As for his disabilities, I guessed it from his footsteps. According to police investigation, all the victims do not have disabilities. However, a set of footprints showing that one foot is heavier than the other was found, with signs of intoeing clearly visible in the footprints. I said he lacks his index finger based on the third victim. The murderer accidentally touched the bed when he killed her. He left his handprint on the edge of the bed, but the spot where his index finger was supposed to leave a fingerprint is completely clean. Can you understand now?”

Mu Qiqi did not expect Tang Yan to be such an observant person. She guessed his low EQ explained it. Since he was someone more focused on doing practical things, he would have less energy to fall in love.

“What about the identity and the social background of these men and women?”

“The men are brothers and the women are their respective wives. They own this hotel. According to the investigation, the hotel was under reorganization. That’s why there were no guests in the hotel,” the professor told Mu Qiqi.

“If let’s say the last victim is the one in the bathroom. How did the murderer escape? Since he wanted to create an illusion that it was a suicide, he would have left some evidence behind if he left using the original path.” Mu Qiqi pointed out the key question in the case.”

“Let the team look for clues based on Tang Yan’s deduction first. We shall see if there is a suspect first.”

…

They worked for several hours before they figured out some clues about the murder.

When Feng Shanshan sat at a corner to rest, she took a glance at Tang Yan secretly. She had only heard about criminal profiling before but she had never seen how it was done. And today, after she listened to Tang Yan’s analysis, she found that the gap between her and Tang Yan was very wide.

At least, in terms of professionalism, Tang Yan was worthy of his identity as a police officer.

“Eh? Why do I see peaches in your eyes?” Mu Qiqi saw Feng Shanshan looking at Tang Yan secretly and she leaned against her shoulder to gossip.

“The time when a man is the most charming is when he shows his abilities,” Feng Shanshan replied. “Now that I have seen it, he is not that annoying anymore.”

“You’re the one who told me he has a low EQ. And you said that you will not consider a man with a low EQ.”

“Don’t worry. I simply think that he is good. If we really do get into a relationship, I think I will die of anger a thousand times. Just imagine it yourself. This kind of man will only be like a dead fish that barely moves even when he is on the bed. How uninteresting.”

When Tang Yan got changed and came out, he heard Feng Shanshan’s comment.

He frowned immediately.

This woman had such a rich imagination. She’s already thought about bedding him?

“He isn’t that bad. I think Officer Tang is rather cute.”

Feng Shanshan shook her head and got changed with Mu Qiqi as they prepared to leave the laboratory.

Mu Qiqi had always had a good life. She had someone to fetch her and she was always so sweet with him. Sadly, Feng Shanshan had to run to the bus stop to catch the bus. Actually, she had money to buy a car, but she did not want to. It was too wasteful.

What’s more irritating was that Tang Yan, the man with a low EQ, whizzed past her on his motorbike.

He was fast. Really fast.

Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. “I really want to wish you zero luck in getting a girlfriend your whole life! I wish you to be a bachelor. Forever!”
