Chapter 132: Chapter 132

Li Jian turned his head and glanced at Wan, smiling as he said, "Your thinking is very clear today, quite rare."

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Li, I’ll keep working hard."

Then, Li Jian said, "Zhang Yean, why don’t you share your thoughts?"

Zhang Yean moved her chair slightly and said, "Mr. Li, here’s how I see it."

"Since the killer’s shoe soles have red soil, it can indicate that the killer has been to the southern suburbs."

"And the southern suburbs are quite far from here; it takes almost two hours by car."

"So, does this mean the killer has a vehicle?"

"Or perhaps the killer resides there."

Others fell into thought about Zhang Yean’s analysis.

Today, he and Wan went to the southern suburbs of Jiangcheng, and it indeed took nearly two hours one-way.

Moreover, there are currently no direct bus routes from Jiangcheng to the southern suburbs.

"Therefore, I think the killer must have a car.

"Additionally, concerning the steel bar found at the scene, about a meter long."

"After bringing it back, I placed it in the fingerprint fuming equipment for the fingerprint fuming process."

"However, unfortunately, I didn’t find any valuable fingerprints."

"Regarding the grease traces on the steel bar handle, I suggest promptly sending it elsewhere for a grease type test."

"For the entirety of the case, I believe we should start the investigation within the construction site."

"From what we see now, Chen Feng is highly suspicious."

"Mr. Li, that’s just my brief opinion."

Li Jian nodded, "Well said!"

Immediately, Li Jian asked, "Tang, do you have any thoughts?"

Tang, sitting next to Chen He, grinned.

"Mr. Li, I’m not very familiar with this case."

"Today I just went with Mr. Chen to run errands by car, once I familiarize myself with the case files, I’ll report back my thoughts to you."

At this time, he turned his eyes to Jiang An.

Not just Li Jian, but Chen He, Wan, and Zhang Yuan all focused on Jiang An.

This young man in the criminal investigation team has solved major cases, often providing useful evidence at key moments.

"Jiang An, give us your thoughts on this case."

Being named by the captain, Jiang An spoke, "From the current investigation data available, it’s certain that Chen Feng’s wife, Wu Juan, was harassed in public by Liu Jun."

"From this angle, Chen Feng indeed has some criminal motive."

"Regarding the crime scene timing, Chen Feng also attended the dorm dining that night."

"Chen Feng is very familiar with Liu Jun’s whereabouts."

"Moreover, he possesses the conditions to commit a crime."

"After all, when he returned to the dormitory, everyone was asleep."

"It’s not impossible for him to go out for crime."

"I didn’t fully participate in the early interrogations."

"Tonight is my first time seeing Chen Feng."

Suddenly, Jiang An shifted his tone and said, "However, during the scene analysis, there are parts I can’t quite figure out."

Li Jian said, "Go ahead, let’s discuss it together."

Immediately, Jiang An shared his confusion experienced last night in the forensic office.

He said, "From the crime tool standpoint, the killer used the steel bar from the 10th floor for assaulting."

"But the killer climbed in from a ground floor window then followed up to the 10th floor, which doesn’t appear to be a random crime based on the whole behavior."

"Therefore, these two aspects are somewhat conflicting."

After hearing this, Zhang Yean said, "I attended a criminal psychology class at school before."

"If it was a premeditated crime, the killer usually prepares thoroughly before committing."

"However, we didn’t find any crime tools at this site."

"Could the killer have gone up empty-handed?"

"So, that’s the part I’ve been unable to understand."

"Did the killer bring tools, or did we fail to discover the tools?"

Listening to Jiang An’s analysis, Mr. Li nodded.

"What you said indeed sounds a bit contradictory."

"Reportedly, the deceased Liu Jun wasn’t drunk that night, and his body alcohol level was low."

"Liu Jun’s body was quite solid too, direct confrontation without tools would clearly be a challenging task."

Just then, Zhang Yean spoke up, "Mr. Li, have you considered another possibility."

"Could it be that the killer took the crime tool away?"

Li Jian shook his head.

"Although the killer took crime tools, we haven’t found any marks of tool strikes on the victim’s body."

After a long silent pause, Li Jian said, "But, in my view, Chen Feng is highly suspicious."

"Since the beginning of this case, Chen Feng has disrupted our perspective."

"Trying to divert our investigation focus to Song Can."

"Although Chen Feng particularly emphasized that providing clues was to increase his pay."

"It now appears that possibility is merely a reason and an excuse."

"Earlier, during my interrogation of Song Can, I believe the possibility of Song Can being a suspect is very small."

"Chen Feng has a strong motive to commit a crime."

"Just like everyone mentioned earlier, Liu Jun could have inflicted fatal consequences for publicly harassing someone’s wife."

"Chen Feng cohabiting in the same dorm with Liu Jun, is very familiar with his activities."

"Especially on the night in question, despite Chen Feng’s insistence that after entering the dormitory, he did not go out."

"However, I believe we’ve all experienced drinking where sleep post-drinking is deep, reducing environmental awareness."

"Once asleep under the influence of alcohol, someone passing by might not be noticed."

"Thus, from the overall situation currently, out of all investigated individuals, Chen Feng’s suspicion is highest."

"Now, I think we must quickly set off to apprehend Chen Feng for thorough interrogation."

Then, Li Jian, Chen He, Wan, and Tang drove straight to Jiangtai Construction Site.

The apprehension process was swift.

Arriving at the site, Chen Feng was resting in the dormitory, and the four officers directly escorted him onto the police car.

Brought to the interrogation room, Chen Feng was still drowsy and bewildered.

He constantly asked, "Why are you arresting me?"

"Is sleeping in the dormitory illegal too?"

"Why? Don’t you know yourself?"

"In relation to Liu Jun’s fatal fall case, aren’t you aware?"

"What do I know?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net

"Officer, I told you everything this morning."

"It’s Song Can who had conflicts with him; you’re right to arrest Song Can."

"I have no conflicts with him."

"We’ve coexisted in the dormitory quite harmoniously."

Li Jian raised his eyebrows.

"In past years, he pursued your wife Wu Juan, is that true?"

At this point, Chen Feng clenched his hands, his eyes flashed with coldness.

He then said, "This issue was a long time ago, plus my wife is back."

"I heard he not only pursued Wu Juan but also harassed her publicly."

"This matter should have angered you."

Suddenly, Chen Feng became agitated.

"Officers, what exactly are you suggesting?"

"This issue was resolved a long time ago, why bring it up now?"

"Our point is simple, this is your motive."

"I believe nothing angers someone more than their wife being bullied."

Chen Feng clenched his fists, slightly lifting his head saying, "Back then, I did deeply resent him, wanted to beat him."

"But my wife Wu Juan persuaded me, saying that sort of behavior isn’t worth the trouble."

"Moreover, I believe my wife will be with me for life, no one can take her away."

After a moment, Li Jian said, "Now, I’m not discussing motive, please recount your whereabouts that evening."

Chen Feng’s hands kept tapping the interrogation table, producing a clanging sound.

"I’ve already told you, after we finished drinking, I went back to the dorm to sleep with everyone."

"I learned Liu Jun died beside building 5 only the following day."

"You didn’t go out that night?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

At this moment, outside the one-way glass of the interrogation room.

Both Jiang An and Zhang Yean were watching the progress inside.

Jiang An stood there, fully concentrated.

However, Jiang An’s focus wasn’t on what Chen Feng said, but on his physical characteristics.
