Chapter 1493: A Little Sugar with the Forensic Doctor 06

The room fell into silence again.

Jin Chen suddenly realized that not only Ling Gun Gun, but he himself also hadn't noticed anyone secretly filming in the residential area.

No, this even counts as blatantly filming right in front of them.

Could the killer's hiding place really be that good?

"Jin Team, do you think the killer is still hiding here?" Duan Xiao Bai's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "That's too bold."

Since joining the Major Crimes Division, they've handled many cases, having encountered killer provocations before, but this is truly a first.

"First preserve the evidence, then return to the police station."

Before leaving, Zhou Ming's mother again grabbed Duan Xiao Bai's hand and pleaded, urging them to quickly find the true culprit who harmed Zhou Ming, otherwise she couldn't die in peace.

According to the direction shown in the picture background, they were filming at two locations: after entering the residential area, looking for the building where Zhou Ming lived, and when entering the elevator.

The similarity is that the shooting direction was from a high-angle overhead shot.

Jin Chen stood at the spot where the secret filming occurred, his right hand pressing the gun at his waist, his eagle-like vigilant gaze scanning the surroundings, finally looking toward the direction of the shooting angle.

Bare branches, not even a hiding spot.

"Unbelievable, how was this angle shot? Could it possibly fly?" Yi Tian raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sun and looked into the distance.

"Could it be a drone?" Duan Xiao Bai guessed.

Wu Lin glanced at the arm being held by Jin Chen, "Jin Team, the killer probably wouldn't attack police here."

"Who knows, safety first."

"I can't even notice it, how dangerous!"

Jin Chen didn't release his hand, maintaining a protective posture until they got in the car.

The tightly gripped arm still seemed warm; Wu Lin pulled his hand back into his pocket, rubbing the blade hidden inside, the faint sting on his fingertips calming his mind.

This feeling…

Wu Lin rolled down the window, and after a long while of the cold wind blowing, he withdrew his aimless gaze outside, glancing askance at the tightly faced Jin Chen driving.

Jin Chen noticed the glance, looked in the rearview mirror, and the other immediately lowered his eyes to avoid it, acting like a wooden person.

A soft laugh mysteriously sounded in the car.

The front passenger, Duan Xiao Bai, blankly glanced at Jin Team.

Oh no, Jin Team has been made angry by the killer.

What's there to laugh about for no reason!

—

Major Crimes Division office.

Everyone in the office was sunk in thought over several photos.

Wei Yan's face was paler than in the morning, exhausted to the point of collapse, "Although we can't yet determine that the sender of the photos……is the killer, but……the other party's online skills are really strong, I can't track them at all."

"Good fellow." Duan Xiao Bai exclaimed, raising his eyes, "You've made our Wei Yan kid so angry his speech sped up."

"Jin Team, Jin Team! What are you looking at? Is there any other information in this photo?" Yu Jue wondered, "You've been looking at it for a long time."

Jin Chen whispered, "Wei Yan, just take two random screenshots of the police station's surveillance, cropping the time and the surveillance display."

"Ah… okay."

Wei Yan obediently complied; the task was simple and quickly done.

The cropped photo size actually overlapped perfectly with the one they had received.

"Ah! This was taken from the surveillance!" Yi Tian slammed the table, then quickly fell into new doubt, "But there's no surveillance in either of those directions at all."

Jin Chen recalled the overall environment of the residential area at that time, and every intersection he had seen from the moment he entered.

He put down his phone, leaned back slightly with eyes closed, his expression almost mechanically indifferent.

The office fell into a tacit silence.

Wu Lin, however, suddenly turned his head to stare at Jin Chen, his ink-black pupils seeming to find a focal point, even showing a hint of interest.

It seemed that for Wu Lin, the sight of Jin Chen, immersed in silence and appearing harmless, interested him more than ever.

Like after being injected with anesthetic, lying on the operating table to be manipulated……

"Jin Team does this when thinking deeply; it's best not to disturb him." Yu Jue thought he was feeling doubtful and explained in a breathy voice.

The ill-timed sound pulled Wu Lin's thoughts back; his breath hitched for a moment, he nodded wordlessly, and continued focusing on the data studying Zhou Ming's corpse.

After about three or four minutes, Jin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his voice deeper: "Yi Tian, take people to bring in the newspaper-reading old man from the shop below Zhou Ming's building for interrogation."

"Ah… ah?"

Yi Tian almost jumped up on the spot, "What does that have to do with that old man?"

He hadn't even remembered what that old man looked like.

Jin Chen sat up straight again, tapping his fingers on the table, letting everyone focus and listen carefully.

"After we left the shop and entered the elevator, that old man went to buy cigarettes from the shop owner; what was her reply?"

Duan Xiao Bai and Yi Tian looked at each other.

Wu Lin closed the documents and said in a clear voice, "She said: 'What brand of cigarettes do you want?'"

Jin Chen asked Ke Xiu, who often ran errands for the chief, "What brand does Chief Wang like to smoke?"

"Hard Zhonghua." Ke Xiu answered quickly, "He always smokes this; the owners of several shops outside our police station……" Ke Xiu froze.

Jin Chen: "The shop owner remembers that Zhou Ming only buys bread each time he comes, and she's very familiar with the nearby residents."

"Ah!" Yi Tian slapped his thigh, "That old man was leisurely enjoying the air conditioning and reading newspapers in the shop; if he really were a local resident, the shop owner should know what brand of cigarettes he wants."

"I'm going now." Yi Tian rushed out of the office swiftly, decisive and efficient.

Jin Chen stood up, "Ke Xiu and I will go to Bishui Park; Wei Yan, check if the computer smashed by Zhou Ming can yield any information."

"Then aren't we tracking the IP of the photo sender?" Wei Yan asked.

Give me the account; since the other party is confident to send it to you, it's obvious they have nothing to fear.

【But! I can!】 The strongest cheat, Ling Gun Gun, stands with hands on hips.

Just came back half an hour ago and already have to go on a mission; outside it's the hottest time. This time Jin Chen didn't call Wu Lin, just leaned forward before leaving, pressed his hands on the back of his office chair and turned it, saying, "Just now a little brother was peeking at me."

Wu Lin: "......"

I didn't.

Only after saying that did I realize this is "no silver here."

Hearing the man's successive teasing low chuckles, Wu Lin inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed.

Look, next time you can look openly, look as long as you want.

Jin Chen took a moment to tease the ice-cold beauty, and then, before the end of work, hurried off to handle business.

By the way, he despised Ling Gun Gun for finding him a nonstop busy world.

This is more tiring than being an emperor!

Jin Chen's earlier words seemed to still echo in his ears, heating his earlobes a bit.

Wu Lin clenched the documents in his hands, his thoughts a bit chaotic.

No matter what words come out of his mouth, they always seem to carry some inexplicable other meaning.

"Wow..." Duan Xiao Bai exclaimed, "That line Jin Team just said sounds like a male model's self-introduction."

Flashing and flamboyant!

Wu Lin: "......" Hmm, I feel the same.
