last case

Chen Yancai shuddered, stretched out her hand to touch her arm, and said, "I'm getting goosebumps, how can I still look at the roses in the future, they look so pretty."

Tang Xin smiled gracefully, and said, "Team Ai probably won't buy roses. I read the last routine inspection, and his form said he was allergic to pollen."

Chen Yancai: "..."

"Don't mention him to me. He is my rival in love." Chen Yancai said very unhappy and angrily.

In fact, everyone is quite curious about why Dui Ai is Chen Yancai's rival in love. It feels as if he knows something important, which is complicated and strange.

But now is not the time to gossip, because there are still cases and corpses that need to be dealt with.

The evidence collection was completed quickly. Tang Xin checked the corpse first, so as not to destroy some clues after transporting it.

Chen Yancai saw him squatting down to examine the corpse carefully, so she retreated to the side, not to make trouble for Tang Xin.

Xie Jibai asked the secretary a few more questions, and the secretary answered them cooperatively, but nothing special was discovered.

After Xie Jibai finished asking, he walked up to Tang Xin and said, "How is it?"

"We still have to wait." Tang Xin said, "You can go out and wait for me, or ask the boss if there is any need for help."

Xie Jibai, Tang Xin and Chen Yancai were in charge of the house, while Chen Wanting took Liu Zhihui and Qin Xu outside to ask Zhou Penggui's neighbors, wondering if he could get more clues.

Xie Jibai knew that Tang Xin was worried that he would feel uncomfortable seeing the corpse.

Xie Jibai suddenly discovered that his symptoms were actually much better, and he still felt uncomfortable, but it was far less resistant than before.

Xie Jibai shook his head and said, "I'm right next to you."

Tang Xin didn't say anything more, just nodded.

Zhou Penggui's body was in good condition. At first glance, he couldn't tell where the wound was, and it didn't look like he died from trauma.He was holding a rose in both hands, and there was no trace of blood on his body, not only his body, but also almost no blood in his body, it had been drained dry, and his whole body was shriveled.

The scene of the crime was handled very cleanly. There were no traces of fighting or blood, and the surrounding furnishings were all in order.I don't know if someone cleaned it up on purpose, or there was no fight in the first place, or this is not the scene of the first crime at all.

Tang Xin glanced back at the rose that Chen Yancai was holding, and then looked down at the corpse. Then he stood up and said to his assistant, "You can take it back."

"How is it?" Xie Ji Bai came over and asked again.

Tang Xin said: "It's very strange."

"Strange?" Chen Yancai couldn't help leaning over to listen.

Tang Xin said: "This rose is still blooming very well. As I said just now, it has been preserved so well that it will not last more than two or three days. But this corpse must have been dead for longer than two or three days."

Xie Jibai frowned and said, "You mean, someone killed the victim, left, and then came here a second time, and put this rose in the victim's hand?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "There is a possibility."

Chen Yancai interjected: "I think it must be the case. Look at this rose, it also looks like a blood rose, and this person has been drained of blood. Maybe the murderer killed him the first time he came and took him away. His blood soaked the blood rose, and after making the blood rose, he brought the blood rose back and put the rose in the dead man's hand."

"It is indeed possible." Tang Xin said, "But it is not certain. We will have to wait for us to go back and test and analyze this rose before we can find out whether it was stained by the blood of the deceased Zhou Penggui."

Xie Jibai said: "Let's put this aside for now, but now it is enough to explain one thing. This rose is very important. The murderer didn't just want to kill someone."

"That's right." Chen Yancai said, "Just now Tang's forensic doctor also said that four roses represent unswerving until death. Er, it's so cold, could it be love killing?"

Xie Jibai said: "Go and check Zhou Penggui's interpersonal network to see if there is anyone who has a serious conflict with Zhou Penggui or has a grudge against him."

Chen Yancai immediately said, "Okay, I'll check right away."

Chen Wanting walked in and asked, "Xiaobai, how is the situation here?"

Xie Jibai said: "It's almost done, we can go back, and we'll wait until we go back."

"Our side is fine too." Chen Wanting said.

Everyone collected the team and returned to the police station. Chen Wanting took a sip of water and began to talk about the situation.

Chen Wanting said, "We went to Zhou Penggui's neighbor to ask about it just now."

The villa area has just been repaired, and the facilities are not perfect. There are only a few households living in it. Zhou Penggui lives in the innermost villa, and generally other people will not go there.

Zhou Penggui's neighbor lives in the villa in front of him, which is actually quite far away, but it just so happens that the window of the owner's bedroom of that villa faces Zhou Penggui's villa, and he can see the house behind him almost every day.

There is a couple living in that household, the woman is a full-time wife, they have no children, the hostess is very leisurely, she goes out every day to go shopping in the mall for beauty treatment, and comes back to tidy up the room and cook.

The hostess said that when she first moved in, she met Zhou Penggui a few times and said hello, but he didn't seem like a friendly person, and she didn't usually smile.

In the past two weeks, she hadn't seen Zhou Penggui. In her impression, the lights in the villa behind were always dark, almost never turned on.

However, on a Saturday a week ago, at about twelve o'clock in the evening, the couple came back from watching the opera. It was already very late. The woman went to take a bath and prepared to go to bed. When she returned to the bedroom, she happened to see the lights in the villa behind her. up.

Chen Wanting said: "On Saturday a week ago, there should be someone in that villa, but I don't know who it is. It may be the victim Zhou Penggui, or the murderer, or Zhou Penggui's guest."

Other than that, Chen Wanting and the others didn't get any other clues.

Next came the division of labor and cooperation. Tang Xin took his assistants to the autopsy, Chen Yancai went to check Zhou Penggui's personal connections, and the others waited for conclusions before going on missions.

Chen Yancai searched very quickly and found out Zhou Penggui's network.

"It's so strange." Chen Yancai said, "It's really strange. Depending on the situation, I think there is a possibility of love murder, but Zhou Penggui doesn't even have a girlfriend, and of course he doesn't have a boyfriend. He's in his 30s, and he hasn't talked to him yet." Feelings?"

As Chen Yancai spoke, she raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her neatly.

Chen Yancai became furious in an instant, and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

"Don't laugh at the hundred steps at fifty steps." Chen Wanting said.

Chen Yancai: "..."

Xie Jibai also felt a little pain in his knees, but fortunately, he is not yet 30 years old.

Xie Jibai asked: "Is there anyone with a conflict of interest?"

"No." Chen Yancai said, "I haven't found anything at all."

Zhou Penggui's life in his 30s couldn't be more ordinary. He was a good student in school and never had a puppy love. He was a successful person at work and started his own company in his 30s.Although people seem to be difficult to contact, they are not mean people.His employees are a little in awe of him, but there is nothing bad to say about this boss.

All in all, no clue.

"Everyone is there."

Tang Xin came over with a report, pushed the door open and entered.

Xie Ji Bai was a little surprised, and asked, "Is the autopsy over?"

Tang Xin shook his head and said, "I just tested that rose first, and it really is a blood rose."

It seems that everyone has been mentally prepared for this point. If it is an ordinary rose, they will feel strange.

Tang Xin said: "But the blood that is the color of the white rose used for it does not belong to Zhou Penggui."

"Ah?" Liu Zhihui couldn't help asking, "Whose is that?"

Others were also very surprised, they thought that Zhou Penggui's blood was used to stain the rose.

Tang Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know, it doesn't match the DNA of the first blood rose either."

Xie Jibai said: "So now we have two roses dyed with whose blood?"

Tang Xin nodded and said, "I have a bad feeling. We have two blood roses now, but I think maybe the third one has already been made. Zhou Penggui was indeed drained after being killed. His blood was taken away, maybe he was taken to dye a blood rose."

"I just came to tell you first, I have to go back and continue the autopsy." After Tang Xin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then walked away gracefully.

Everyone was silent for a while, all thinking about what Tang Xin said just now.

Chen Yancai couldn't help but said: "It's obviously getting hotter recently, why do I feel that it's getting colder and colder, I'm going to have nightmares when I go back tonight."

Soon it was getting dark, Chen Wanting asked Su Banyu to have dinner together after get off work, and Liu Zhihui and Qin Xu also left.

Chen Yancai asked: "Xiaobai, do you want to wait for Tang Forensic Doctor?"

Xie Jibai nodded.

Chen Yancai said, "Then I have to go."

Before she left, she glanced under the window, but she didn't see Cao Longwei, who came to report on time before, and sighed, "I didn't see Mr. Cao today. I've only been here for a few days. I really don't have the long-term. Good forensic doctor."

Chen Yancai walked away while muttering.

Xie Ji Bai was the only one left in the office.

Xie Jibai looked at his watch, and according to his understanding of Tang Xin, it might take another hour to see the figure.

He simply read through the information that Chen Yancai had sorted out.

After reading it, Xie Jibai glanced at his watch again, it was timed out, and Tang Xin hadn't appeared yet.

Xie Ji Bai felt a little hungry, but there was nothing to eat in the office.

On Chen Yancai's table next door, there is a pack of tomato-flavored potato chips, which can satisfy his hunger. If he eats it, Chen Yancai probably won't mind, but Xie Jibai is a bit concerned about the "tomato" flavor...

When Tang Xin finally finished the autopsy and came back after changing his clothes, he saw Xie Ji Bai standing alone by the window.

It was already pitch black outside, and the lights in the room seemed a bit dim, making Xie Ji Bai's figure look even more blurred, as if it was a fragile object.The night sky and the faint starlight outside are like his foil.

Tang Xin couldn't bear to break the unexpected tranquility.

If you can ignore the bag of marshmallows that Xie Jibai is eating in his hand.

Vanilla Marshmallows...
