Chapter 194: Chapter 194
The Rolls-Royce sped down the road, and Lin Fan frowned slightly.
Finding someone who mysteriously disappeared fifteen years ago, how could it be easy!
Although Lin Fan intended to help Anna, he had no idea where to start because his knowledge was limited.
He needed assistance.
The person Lin Fan thought of was Loli, Loli was a police officer and would surely be able to help him.
Lin Fan picked up his phone, intending to contact Loli and arrange a meeting.
But at this moment, a call came in; surprisingly, it was Loli calling. What a coincidence.
Lin Fan answered the phone.
Loli said, "Lin Fan, where are you now, are you free? You promised to help me solve a case!"
Lin Fan remembered that yesterday he did promise Loli to help her solve that serial killer case.
Lin Fan said, "Where are you, I’ll come find you?"
Loli said, "There’s been a third murder today, yet another leader of a charitable organization has been killed; I’m at the crime scene now, hurry over."
Loli gave an address.
Lin Fan then located the address and hurried over.
A secluded villa, with police lines already set up around it. Policemen were on guard, and the busy figures of police officers and forensic scientists could be seen.
Police cars, ambulances, and reporters’ cars were parked around.
A reporter was reporting live at the scene: "This afternoon, the head of the Wholeheartedly Charitable Organization, Li Chunjiao, was found dead in the villa’s hall. The police arrived at the scene immediately; we can see that the crime scene has been cordoned off. Our reporter tried to enter for an interview but was refused by the police. The police also refused to reveal details of the deceased, and it is unclear whether the same perpetrator is responsible as in the previous two cases. Earlier, two consecutive charity leaders were killed..."
Yet another leader of a charitable organization was killed!
The news report shocked Yun City.
For a while, people started discussing it.
"What the hell, what’s going on here?"
"Why is the killer targeting charity leaders, what kind of grudge do they have?"
"The police haven’t solved the case yet, those other leaders must be terrified."
"I heard the killer is very cunning, I wonder if the police can solve the case?"
Just as the whole city was abuzz.
A Rolls-Royce discreetly approached the villa.
Lin Fan, wearing a delivery uniform, got out of the car and approached the police line, where he was stopped by a police officer.
"What do you want? Didn’t you see the police line? You can’t go any further!" the officer shouted.
The officer was also puzzled, seeing Lin Fan step out of a Rolls-Royce, yet he dressed as a courier. Driving a Rolls-Royce to deliver packages?
Lin Fan smiled, "I’m here to meet someone; I have an appointment with Officer Loli."
The officer did not believe him, saying, "Do you know where this is, the crime scene? You’re meeting Captain Luo here?"
The officer sneered, "I think you’re causing trouble. Which media are you from, using such a lame excuse just to sneak in?"
Lin Fan felt a bit speechless: "I’m not a reporter, I really have an appointment with Loli, I’m here to help solve the case."
The officer scrutinized Lin Fan, his face turning stern: "Help solve the case? Who are you? I now severely doubt your identity, hand over your ID card!"
Lin Fan had no words.
At this moment, an excited voice came: "Lin Fan, you’re here!"
They saw Loli walking quickly over.
Lin Fan smiled, "Officer Sis, you came just in time."
The officer was surprised, "Captain Luo, he really is your guest?"
Loli said, "Of course, be polite. He’s here to help solve the case, let him through."
The officer quickly pulled up the police line to let Lin Fan in.
Loli smiled, "I was worried you wouldn’t come, come with me."
Therefore, Loli led Lin Fan into the villa.
The officer was stunned, extremely curious, who on earth is this guy? Luo, who always kept a cool distance from men, showed him such an admiring look and even invited him over for the case?
Lin Fan followed Loli into the villa.
On the floor of the hall lay a corpse, a middle-aged woman, slumped in a pool of blood, stabbed over a dozen times, almost every strike fatal.
The death was extremely tragic, hard to look at directly.
Forensic experts were already working at the scene.
Loli briefly introduced the situation to Lin Fan: "The deceased is Li Chunjiao, the head of the Wholeheartedly Charitable Organization. According to her assistant, she returned to the villa around noon today and then lost contact. The assistant arrived at the villa at 3 PM and discovered the body, then called the police. We arrived swiftly, and the deceased’s body was still warm; we estimated she died within an hour. The villa has surveillance, we checked it immediately, but found it was turned off. Upon checking, we learned the deceased ordered it turned off under duress from the killer, who then committed the crime and escaped. Lin Fan, should I have them leave so you can observe more easily?"
Lin Fan said, "No need, I’ll just take a look around."
Lin Fan’s eyes scanned the interior, and with the boost of top-notch insight, he began looking for clues.
Loli couldn’t really assist Lin Fan, so she could only wait for him to come up with results.
A dozen minutes later, Loli was getting a bit tired of waiting, and Lin Fan had already walked through the villa, returning to Loli’s side.
"Officer Sis, what have you guys found out these past couple of days, can you tell me?" Lin Fan asked.
Loli said, "What we know is limited. The killer is very cunning and didn’t leave any fingerprints. Comparing the knife wounds on the two victims, we found it was the same person, and the methods were very brutal. Lin Fan, did you find anything?"
Lin Fan said, "Regarding the surveillance, have you found anything?"
Loli said, "We checked it first thing; other areas’ surveillance was normal, but we reviewed the footage for half a day without finding anything suspicious. However, the camera in the living room was damaged, likely by the killer. As previously mentioned, the killer coerced the deceased to turn off the surveillance before committing the crime; the footage afterward is empty."
Lin Fan nodded, "What do you think?"
Loli said, "The killer is extremely cunning, sneaking into the villa while cleverly avoiding all cameras, using surveillance blind spots to hide, with first-rate counter-reconnaissance skills. I suspect the killer might have previously worked in a related field."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan shook his head.
Loli was curious, "Am I wrong?"
Lin Fan said, "I just observed, and the villa’s surveillance layout is very tight; according to my calculations, the surveillance blind spots are zero. There’s no way to sneak in without being captured from any angle. Moreover, the design of this villa’s walls isn’t easy to climb over; I just walked around and confirmed where the killer entered. Officer Sis, follow me."
Lin Fan led Loli to a spot under a wall, where a tree grew outside the wall, its branches extending close to the top.
Lin Fan pointed, "The killer used this tree to jump onto the wall top, then into the compound. Look, when he jumped down, he left footprints on the grass, but he damaged the footprints himself."
