Chapter 217: New Skill: Dumping the Body

The man had eaten, then was taken away by Li Tian.

A few people gathered together; after eating, just as they were about to shut things down, Li Tian's phone call came through, giving them something completely far-fetched.

"This guy, everything he said at the dinner table was lies. All that stuff about guns and whatnot was fake—he was just holding a stick and stabbed the person straight down. He did it at night, when those people weren't paying attention."

Chen Fan naturally knew this fellow's inner thoughts were very straightforward: he just couldn't accept it—why did those men get those women, when he didn't?

The reason for revenge was nothing more than that.

When it's like this, it really leaves one speechless. For a moment, the audience truly felt this person was cool and all that.

The livestream was shut off. At this time, Chen Fan and Old Liu didn't rest.

The two of them packed up simply, each bringing two eggs and some food.

"I thought you wouldn't come with me."

"I want to see the scene, after all, the testimony needs to be closed off."

Old Liu nodded.

They arrived at the first building. Chen Fan, looking at the area below the building, compared it again with the area above.

The two of them began pondering how to collect the footprints at the scene, as well as gathering some fingerprints at the stairwell entrance.

Since there weren't many people around here, then any extra person showing up must be problematic.

"What are you betting on now?"

Chen Fan said: "I'm betting that someone saw it at the scene. I don't believe that out of five cases, not a single eyewitness exists. Every case in the world involves an exchange of matter. The absence of evidence doesn't mean there's no evidence—it just means we haven't found it yet."

Now that statement, there's something to be said about it.

Old Liu, holding a flashlight, said: "Do you still remember the video?"

Chen Fan said: "I remember. In the video there's something indicating someone was in the stairwell, because the light in the stairwell was on. It was just on—why no one came, I don't know."

Old Liu and Chen Fan came to the stairwell and began searching around. Soon they found a discarded condom.

Old Liu and Chen Fan were both speechless.

Good lord, someone was having an affair in the stairwell.

Chen Fan said: "Master, what do you think the decibel level needed to turn the light on would be?"

"Not sure, but definitely not high. It's just that the light went out quickly and shut off right away. That means the other party clearly realized someone was killing people in the high-rise."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, pointed at the marks on the ground, and said: "Look, is this a person's footprint, or a person's body?"

Old Liu compared it and said: "It's a person's body. Well, there's a situation. Best case it's just a regular drugging-and-threat case. If it's something else, that makes things difficult."

At this moment Chen Fan and Old Liu didn't speak, simultaneously staying silent, and quickly hid behind the clutter.

Someone came over with a flashlight, holding a mop, and began mopping the floor.

Chen Fan and Old Liu instantly understood. Chen Fan immediately leaped out and made his move. Old Liu, holding a scalpel, gripped it in his hand.

Before the person could react, Chen Fan had him pinned down.

"Call the police, have Zhang Tianxiong bring them over."

The person still wanted to resist. Chen Fan directly administered a drug, and the person instantly passed out.

Old Liu looked at the fallen person and called Zhang Tianxiong. Soon Zhang Tianxiong arrived with people, looking at the person on the ground.

"Who is this person?"

"Not sure. When we came to secure the evidence, this person showed up and started mopping the floor. There were some marks on the ground before."

Zhang Tianxiong said: "How long before he wakes up?"

"Soon. Just go to the hospital and get an IV drip, very convenient."

At this time, Chen Fan and Old Liu began to act. Actually, this person shouldn't have been able to get far.

Could only be in a nearby room.

Naturally, it was easy to search.

The floor didn't have many people to begin with; all they needed to do was enter the rooms.

Old Liu looked at Chen Fan and said: "You know how to pick locks?"

Chen Fan said: "Do I even need to pick the lock?"

Old Liu sniffed the air and instantly understood. Chen Fan pressed the handle, opened the door, and the two of them went inside, heading straight for the bathroom.

A woman was lying inside, still breathing, but her hands and feet were bound.

The smell of fresh blood was very sensitive to Chen Fan and Old Liu, and covering up the smell of fresh blood also required certain items.

These things—all have tutorials online. Precisely because of that, if you follow the tutorials to do this, then the police will only find you faster.

Soon, police officers arrived, along with an ambulance, and sent the woman to the hospital.

Old Liu and Chen Fan took some fingerprints and the murder weapon and whatnot, and that was enough to seal this case shut.

The woman woke up at the hospital. Old Song immediately began questioning. Old Song's interrogation style was different from Li Tian's—Li Tian always asked some out-of-the-blue questions.

But Old Song's questions were more real: threats, yelling, or being gentle first, then stern.

Just like a man toward a woman.

This person confessed right away, saying he saw this woman and liked her very much, so he just grabbed her. But the woman resisted, and the man directly smashed her with something.

Then he carried out the act on the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he discovered someone was jumping off the building. The man got scared and didn't dare speak up.

What came next was the landlord, who was very annoyed. He had rented out the place, and ended up encountering something like this.

The woman woke up and also confessed everything. Old Song sealed off the leads. Once the man could get up, he'd be sent straight in. When the time came, the prosecutor would let this person know what it meant to break the law—you must pay the price.

"This case, it's all thanks to you two. Otherwise, we never would have discovered it."

Old Liu said: "The video I took—I was just curious why the light in this building was on, so I came to take a look. Didn't expect to actually find something."

"Li Tian's probably going to get a scolding. There are other cases at the scene, so all those points he's accumulated are probably useless now."

Points—Chen Fan suddenly remembered and said: "Right, how many points have I gotten?"

"Mm, currently in the province, you're number one with 1,600 points. You kid have already accumulated the points others take five years to earn."

"That high?"

Old Liu explained, "If a homicide is discovered but not solved, 300 points are deducted directly. Got it?"

Damn.

"Then if the case is solved, how many points are given?"

"It depends on the difficulty, time, and accumulated circumstances; the maximum given is 200 points."

The next day, the production team temporarily notified them of a case that had occurred the previous night. Many viewers were curious: what was going on, and were there hidden cases?

The explanation given was that the video footage shot at the time showed lights on the staircase, raising suspicion that someone was there.

Everyone was stunned. With just such a small clue, they caught the person?

Here, as Chen Fan just arrived at the office, Old Liu brought out some fruit and said, 'Eat it. A young Miss's parents bought it, saying it's to thank us.'

"Didn't they pay?"

"You shouldn't ask that. Pay? You can't accept it now, you know?"

"Understood, understood."
