Chapter 69: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

That day, the clumsy Sha Gou took the key to Room 301 out of his pocket and accidentally dropped it into the boiling hot pot. Zhong Kui easily sucked the key up with that brick-sized magnet. There was also the bedroom with closed doors and windows that had the most dust, as well as those pieces of furniture that had been moved inexplicably...

"Someone lifted the wooden floor upstairs and spent a long time digging a deep groove in the cement floor that should have been flat, extending all the way to the position directly opposite your pillow. That's why the dust in that bedroom is much greater than in other places. This person knows everyone's living habits very well. He knew that Wang Dakang had the habit of taking a nap every day. That noon, it should have been the moment this person used this magnet to suck the kitchen knife hidden in the ceiling through the floor, completing his final murder," Qi Fei said.

Hearing this, Wang Dakang couldn't help but turn pale: "Ah? If this person succeeded, wouldn't I be dead?"

"At that time, there should have been no one going upstairs in the corridor of Guiyue Apartment. It's just that he didn't expect that a person named Sha Gou would suddenly appear that day, following the death of Yue Fengsheng, and run to the apartment. This person was also holding a camera and filming, muttering commentary, making the murderer think he was live-streaming. Fearing exposure, he stopped the action."

Wang Dakang gasped, cold sweat dripping, followed by being completely puzzled: "But, who wants to kill me? I'm just an ordinary person, and I've never held a grudge against anyone!"

"No, he not only wants to kill you, but also frame her," Qi Fei pointed to Zhao Xiaozhen, "With this method, there will be no traces of the murderer left at the scene. The murder weapon is a kitchen knife, and Zhao Xiaozhen will become the only suspect, making it very difficult to clear her name."

"Hmph, killing two birds with one stone, truly brilliant," Zhong Kui said coldly.

"It seems this place can't be lived in anymore," Zhao Xiaozhen looked at the kitchen knife on the bed in a daze after being frightened, muttering, then trembling and saying to Wang Dakang, "Old Wang, shall we move away? We don't want this house anymore!"

Wang Dakang glared at her fiercely, and this expression did not escape Zhong Kui's eyes.

"Isn't the police comrade already helping to clarify the situation?! What are you afraid of?" Wang Dakang scolded Zhao Xiaozhen, obviously used to ordering her around.

Zhao Xiaozhen immediately shut up when she heard this.

"At least, it can be confirmed that the strange sounds you have been hearing all along are not the ghost of Old Lin making trouble; it's just someone digging a groove in the floor so that it can be thin enough to suck up the kitchen knife," Qi Fei's words obviously failed to comfort Zhao Xiaozhen.

She suddenly lost control of her emotions and cried loudly: "It's all your fault. You wanted this house without asking clearly back then. Now, after a lifetime, we don't even have our own property deed. If we move away, we have nowhere to live. How long are we going to suffer?"

Wang Dakang was annoyed and angry at what Zhao Xiaozhen said and roared: "The unit promised well back then that they would solve the property deed issue. Who could have guessed that such a thing as restructuring would happen later! Don't be a hindsight expert, damn it. Don't think I don't know that you married me back then just for this house!"

Zhao Xiaozhen cried aggrievedly when she heard this. Just as it was about to become an uncontrollable scene, she suddenly heard Zhong Kui say faintly: "I advise you to be polite to each other; maybe the other party is the murderer who killed the neighbor."

This remark stunned Wang Dakang and Zhao Xiaozhen.

"This, this can't be..." Zhao Xiaozhen stammered, then looked at Wang Dakang, and a trace of hesitation flashed in Wang Dakang's eyes toward her, then he roared at Zhong Kui, "Don't talk nonsense, my wife is not that kind of pervert!"

"Then who do you think is the pervert?" Zhong Kui asked immediately.

Wang Dakang didn't know how to answer for a moment, while Zhao Xiaozhen looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.

Zhong Kui smiled slightly at her: "It seems you have a candidate in your mind?"

Zhao Xiaozhen said in a low voice: "That's not it either, it's just that Lili mentioned to me that her black silk stockings hanging outside were stolen. She was disgusted for a long time because of this, but it has nothing to do with this murderer."

Zhong Kui raised an eyebrow after hearing this and didn't speak again.

Zhou Li and He Zhixin, who heard the commotion, also came up.

"What happened?!" Zhou Li couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this bloody scene.

And He Zhixin immediately muttered that he had a spare medicine box and hurried downstairs to get it.

After a while, he brought gauze and carefully bandaged Wang Dakang.

It could be seen that the two families had a good relationship.

Only Zhong Kui looked at the two "loving" families, a cold light appearing in her eyes.

When the three of Qi Fei went downstairs, passing the door of Room 102, the light that was originally on "snap" turned off. It seemed that they were afraid of being discovered living inside, a "there is no silver three hundred taels here" kind of sneakiness.

A strange DNA report was placed in front of Qi Fei.

"The male skeleton found in Room 402 is not Old Yu's. Then whose could it be?" Qi Fei was in a dilemma.

"Brother Fei, we are still expanding the scope of comparison, but currently we haven't matched any effective information. We have compared everyone who went missing around the same time as Old Yu six years ago, and none of them match," Wu Shanqiu said.

Xiao Tao pushed his glasses and said from the side: "I performed a section examination on the skull damage of the unknown male and Ai Lili's skull damage. The unknown male's skull cells showed no active proliferation, and there was no osteoblast formation or other reparative changes around the bone trabeculae."

"Speak human language," Qi Fei said immediately.

"Ai Lili's skull was smashed by someone while she was alive, while the unknown male's skull was smashed after death," Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"Oh! Could it be that Old Yu killed someone else to disguise himself as himself, and then kept killing other residents in Guiyue Apartment?!" Wu Shanqiu said suddenly.

Qi Fei didn't speak. He pondered Xiao Tao's words and said: "If the skull was smashed after death, then what was the fatal wound of this person?"

Xiao Tao pushed his glasses again and was about to speak when Qi Fei snatched the words: "Speak human language!"

Xiao Tao cleared his throat: "Judging from the examination of the skeleton, this person is very likely to have died of cancer."

Now it was Wu Shanqiu's turn to be curious: "Can this be seen from the bones?"

"Yes."

"How can you tell?"

"It's not that Brother Fei won't let me say it," Xiao Tao was expressionless, but this remark was being mischievous.

Qi Fei said helplessly: "Alright, it's not a big deal, say it!"

Xiao Tao then answered slowly: "Generally speaking, through histological examination of the skeleton, some characteristic changes of cancer can be found, such as atypia of tumor cells, increased nuclear division, necrosis, etc. This skeleton has these traces." ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
