S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 1. An Innocent Murderer: Chapter 12. Provoke

"Some things are really strange." Gong Sun, who had hurried back to do the autopsy, frowned.

"What's strange?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang leaned over in bewilderment.

"Look at this." As he spoke, Gong Sun pointed to the zipper behind Pang Xiaoqin's dress.

"What is it?" Bai Yutang stared at the zipper and saw a pink section on the delicate black zipper. It was shining brightly.

"It's nail polish." Gong Sun raised the deceased's hand to show Bai Yutang. They saw that Pang Xiaoqin's fingernails were painted with a pink nail polish, the same color as the one on the zipper. Also...The nail polish on the middle finger of her right hand had clearly been scraped off. It was probably rubbed against the zipper.

"What does this mean?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other.

Gong Sun shook his head helplessly and beckoned a female colleague from the forensics department over, "Have a look. Is there anything strange?"

"How strange!" The female colleague touched her chin, then nodded and said, "This type of crystal nails are very difficult to dry and needs at least 15 minutes...The current situation is that Pang Xiaoqin put on her dress without waiting for the nail polish to dry."

The group of men nodded their heads together and thought this analysis was very reasonable.

"But...Her dress looks very expensive. Normally people will put on this dress first before applying nail polish." The female forensics officer said in a serious tone, "Think about it. If the nail polish isn't dry when you wear the dress, then it's either wasting the nail polish or getting the dress dirty."

"Of course, when women dress up, they either wait for all the clothes to be put on, then polish their nails, or they wait for their nails to dry before putting on their clothes."

"In other words, Pang Xiaoqin wanted to wear her dress after the nail polish was dry, but then something happened, so she had to put on her dress in a hurry." Bai Yutang nodded, "It is indeed strange. How could Pang Xiaoqin have allowed herself to accidentally scrape of a bit of nail polish when attending a grand banquet like this?"

"There's something else strange as well." Zhan Zhao looked around and said, "There's no signs of a struggle or a fight here..." Speaking up to here, Zhan Zhao suddenly frowned as if he had thought of something.

"What's the matter, cat?" Bai Yutang sensed that something was wrong with Zhan Zhao and asked, "What have you found?"

"I'm going to watch the surveillance video again!" With that, Zhan Zhao ran back to the monitoring room, poured out the tape and repeatedly watched the killer insert the card into the room.

"Look at this!" Zhan Zhao pointed to the doorknob in the video, "Look!"

Bai Yutang looked closely at the doorknob and suddenly gasped, "Before the killer touched the doorknob, the doorknob moved!"

"And look!" Zhan Zhao pointed to the face of the person dressed in black and said, "Although the killer is wearing a mask, however you can see that the killer had slightly nodded."

"An Lingli knew this person was coming!" Bai Yutang frowned, "According to Pang Xiaoqin's behavior...She also knows the killer, and they have a very good relationship!"

"Aiya! What on earth is their relationship?!" Zhao Hu scratched his head, "What a mess!"

"I know right." Wang Chao also nodded and said, "There must be a reason for committing a murder like this. Turning the bodies into this, the killer must have a grudge against her father and hate his guts...However, right now we have everything except motive!"

"That's right." Ma Han looked at Bai Yutang and said, "Boss, do you think...There is some connection between this case and the dissembling case...Also, the dissembling case seems to be connected to the Riper case...All the cases seem to have something to do with Fang Wo. There are a lot of ties between these cases. I can't be sure if they are related or not. Besides, this head belongs to An Lingli and the body belongs to Pang Xiaoqin. When I think about this, I must separate them. It really makes people confused."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zhao Hu handed over a glass of water, "Brother Xiao Ma, take a sip of water to relive your stress...You are about to make me faint from confusion."

Everyone smiled, but they felt that Ma Han had mentioned the main point. These cases looked irrelevant, but in fact they are related. There seemed to be an incomprehensible connection, making people confused and feel strange.

The scene was sealed off, as evidence was collected. Then, SCI people left the scene dragging their tired bodies away.

"The autopsy report won't be out until at least tomorrow morning." Bai Yutang said to the crowd, "I think tomorrow we will continue to work at this again. Everyone, go back and have a good rest tonight to replenish your energy!"

"Yes!" Every from SCI dispersed.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked to the car and was about to open the door when Zhan Zhao suddenly made a 'eh' sound.

"What is it?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"Xiao Bai, what is this?" Zhan Zhao reached out and took the blank piece of paper stuck on the door of the passenger seat, "It was stuck onto the window."

Bai Yutang walked around the car and went to Zhan Zhao. When he leaned over to have a look and saw a line of red words written on the white paper, "Do justice for heaven."

"Bizarre!" Bai Yutang looked on both sides of the paper and found that there was nothing else but these four red words.

After calling the parking employee over, Bai Yutang asked, "Who has been near this car?"

"Oh..." The waiter smiled, "Master Bai, your car is a global limited edition. Most people who pass by will take a closer look, take pictures and so on."

Bai Yutang asked, "Do you have a camera in your parking lot?" As he said that, he looked around. Sure enough, he saw cameras in all four corners of the building, "Take us to the surveillance room!" With that, Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao, who had already begun to yawn, to the monitoring room.

They took out all the surveillance video of the parking lot during this time. Then, Bai Yutang drove Zhan Zhao home.
