Chapter 311

When another person shows extraordinary skills, it will always attract the opposite sex.

This house was soon protected.

After all, it was the primary crime scene.

If anything happened later, further inspection would be needed.

Everyone walked out the door.

The girl who reported the crime was still retching, but she couldn’t vomit anything out.

Plus, the girl was pregnant, so to show humanistic care, Xiang Qinqin supported the girl and went to the stairwell to let her calm down.

When everyone closed the door of the house.

The elevator door opened.

An old man in his forties or fifties walked out of the elevator and walked toward the door opposite.

Seeing so many police officers gathered at his neighbor’s door.

The old man asked in surprise: “What happened here?”

Old Song said: “Yes, a murder case happened here, and we were just checking inside.”

“But you don’t have to worry, we will send people to guard here.”

“Nothing will happen.”

The old man said: “My god, a murder case actually happened here? Then isn’t this a haunted house?”

“It’s really unfortunate, and really bad luck. It seems I have to change houses.”

The old man wasn’t discriminating against haunted houses.

It was just common sense for many people.

If you found out that a murder had occurred in your neighbor’s home, you would definitely panic too.

You would also feel it was bad luck and that the place was full of danger.

Chen Fan said: “Wait, sir, how long have you lived here?”

The old man said: “It’s been three years. This house was bought for me by my son for my retirement.”

Chen Fan asked again: “Then when you lived here, did you notice anything unusual recently?”

The old man thought carefully and said: “But it seems… I can’t remember for a moment.”

“I only remember that this family was very noisy, screaming in the middle of the night.”

“It was so noisy that our family couldn’t sleep. Once I was woken up and came to knock on the door to ask them to be quiet.”

“The person who opened the door was a girl, and the expression on her face was a bit off, so I asked her if something happened.”

“She said no, so I didn’t ask any further, just told them to keep it down, it was too late, don’t disturb everyone.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The girl, who had calmed down for a while, was supported out by Xiang Qinqin.

The old man looked over and pointed at the girl who reported the crime: “It’s her!”

“The one who opened the door at that time was this girl!”

The girl looked at the old man, her face pale, and didn’t speak.

Chen Fan said: “Sir, what happened next? Did you notice any other situations?”

The old man thought and thought, and two minutes passed just like that.

Only then did he smell the strange smell in the air; before, the door was closed, so the smell didn’t spread out.

But now, because the door had been opened, a stench of corpse decay was mixed into the hallway.

“What is this smell? It’s so foul!”

The old man exclaimed, and perhaps because of his sense of smell, he thought of something the next second.

“Right, I smelled this smell a while ago, but not here.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Chen Fan continued to ask: “Sir, think carefully, where did you smell it?”

The old man said: “It seems to be in the trash can downstairs. That day it was the middle of the night, and my wife and I went to my son’s house for dinner during the day.”

“In the evening, my daughter-in-law sent us back. Just as we walked downstairs, we smelled a stench like this in the trash can.”

“We were discussing at the time, how could the trash can be this foul.”

“But by the next day when we got up for our morning jog, this smell had disappeared.”

“So, officer, what exactly is this smell?”

The old man was extremely curious.

Chen Fan didn’t intend to hide it and replied: “This is the smell of a decomposing body.”

“What!”

The old man was quite shocked, and the next second he couldn’t help but want to vomit.

He even almost fainted.

Fortunately, his wife opened the door and helped the old man inside, and he felt a bit better.

Liu Mengyan replaced Chen Fan and asked the old man some questions, especially about the time point when he smelled the corpse stench in the trash can downstairs.

But the old man said his memory was bad and he couldn’t remember.

Everyone had to give up.

…

In the autopsy room.

Chen Fan looked at the skull in front of him.

There was no need for an autopsy today, after all, only a skull remained.

What needed to be done today was to determine the identity of the deceased.

Liu Mengyan cleaned the corpse insects on the skull one by one.

Making the skull look less disgusting.

Chen Fan said: “Apprentice, what I want to teach you today is that only by providing authoritative proof of identity can we push the case to the next stage of development.”

“This matter is quite important, and just like finding the cause of death, it is something we forensic doctors must do.”

Liu Mengyan nodded solemnly.

“If it’s a normal body that hasn’t been damaged, the identity of the deceased can be confirmed immediately.”

“But if the body has been damaged, the face is blurry, there are no fingerprints, and only a skeleton remains.”

“Our identification will be a bit more difficult.”

“And now that only the skull has been found, it will be even more difficult.”

Old Liu watched Chen Fan from the side, feeling a bit relieved.

Although he wasn’t the one who taught Chen Fan these things.

But seeing Chen Fan acting like a teacher, instead of being as sloppy as usual.

He had the feeling of watching his own child grow up.

But Chen Fan’s serious look didn’t last long.

Chen Fan said: “But don’t worry, it doesn’t matter, I will take action. This is not a difficult task for me; you just need to listen carefully.”

Some of the young people at the scene were amused by Chen Fan.

He used internet slang quite fluently.

“It doesn’t matter, I will take action!”

“Body: It doesn’t matter, I will arrange my own funeral.”

“Damn, I thought Chen Fan would be serious this time, but I didn’t expect the next sentence to be unprofessional.”

“Can we get to the point? I still want to see how to confirm it.”

…

It was already one o’clock in the morning.

The number of viewers in the live stream room was still over a million.

Chen Fan picked up the skull and said: “The simplest testing method now is dental comparison.”
