Chapter 473

The fingerprints are all his.

Chapter 473 The fingerprints are all his.
“Besides Jiang Xutong, I can’t think of anyone else who would kill Jiang Nankun in my residence,” Shen Yanzhou said. “And Jiang Xutong just said she hopes to never see him again.”

“The person died in my residence, and I am now the prime suspect,” Shen Yanzhou said. “If they want to turn me from a suspect into a murderer, there will be more evidence pointing to me as the murderer than what I have now.

Every word he said hit the nail on the head regarding Su Miaoyi's concerns.

Shen Yanzhou looked at Su Miaoyi: "Don't worry so much. As the saying goes, a clear conscience fears no accusation. I didn't kill anyone, and I can withstand the investigation. The fabricated evidence will eventually be exposed. Investigate with confidence; why should I be afraid of her conspiracies?"

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Shen Yanzhou went outside to wait.

Su Miaoyi and the others went back into the room to continue their investigation.

After Yan Cheng examined the body, he told them to turn it over together.

He then examined the front of the body.

“There are no signs of a struggle on his body,” Yan Cheng said. “Not at all.”

Listening to his words, Su Miaoyi thought to herself.

Was he killed very suddenly?
Was Jiang Nankun killed before he even had time to react?

There was no resistance whatsoever.

She thought about it and got up to go to the kitchen.

She counted the cups.

Then I looked around the living room, bedroom and other places.

"what happened?"

"One cup is missing." Su Miaoyi went outside the room to ask Shen Yanzhou again.

Shen Yanzhou only has six cups in total.

He said it was a gift from a partner, so he just took it.

She had asked about the price before and felt that a cup costing that much was no different from robbery.

And indeed, someone was robbed.

So she had a deep impression of these six cups.

After confirming that Shen Yanzhou's cup had not been thrown away or broken, Su Miaoyi squatted down next to Yan Cheng again: "I suspect that he took some kind of medicine before he died."

"You mean he wasn't conscious when he was killed?" Yan Cheng said.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "There's a cup missing here. It's very likely that the murderer used it and took it with him."

"okay, I get it."

After thoroughly checking the entire room, Yan Cheng also put the body into a body bag.

As Yan Cheng was unzipping his jacket, Su Miaoyi suddenly said, "He's not wearing a coat."

Yan Cheng looked at her.

"What?" Zheng Qi asked.

“It’s so cold outside, and he was only wearing a tracksuit. The tracksuit was so thin. He didn’t come from outside,” Su Miaoyi said.

With this temperature outside, who would go out wearing such thin clothes?

"You mean Jiang Nankun came down from upstairs? From Jiang Xutong's room?" Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Very likely,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Contact the property management and ask them to open the door upstairs and check," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Okay." Zheng Qi went to contact the property management.

Jiang Nankun's body was taken away and brought back to the municipal bureau for autopsy.

Zhuang Yanzheng asked the bureau to contact Jiang Nankun's family.

We have already checked Jiang Nankun's information, but we couldn't find any information about him coming to China.

So he didn't come to China through any legitimate channels.

“Jiang Xutong disappeared after leaving Weiyang Palace on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “The surveillance footage we retrieved started from the second day of the Lunar New Year. We have been watching the surveillance footage since midnight.”

"A person's coming and going, going up and down stairs, would not be missed even if the video was played at eight times speed. But we didn't find anything wrong with the surveillance footage."

"Based on the time of death given by Yan Cheng and Xi Xian, Jiang Nankun was most likely murdered in the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year," Su Miaoyi said. "This time falls within the range of the surveillance footage we checked, but why didn't we find anything unusual?"

“If it’s outside, in a spacious area, there’s a high chance of blind spots in the surveillance system, which makes it possible to avoid being monitored,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “But the surveillance cameras in stairwells and elevators are definitely not unavoidable; if someone is moving around, they will definitely be captured on camera.”

Su Miaoyi couldn't understand either: "Let's expand the monitoring time frame a bit more." Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

The door upstairs was opened.

They went upstairs to take a look.

As soon as I entered, I saw a black down jacket hanging in the entryway; it was a men's style.

Judging from the size, it looks like Jiang Nankun's clothes.

Su Miaoyi patted her pocket, took out an invoice, looked at it, and then put it in the evidence bag to take back.

In addition to the down jacket, there was also a pair of men's slippers.

There were several sets of men's clothes in the guest room, as well as a set of pajamas and men's toiletries.

All of these fingerprints were extracted.

They put the toothbrush they used for washing their hands into an evidence bag and took it with them, along with all the hair from the comb.

Based on these facts, it seems that a man lives here.

The rest of the room was very spacious.

There were several large boxes piled up in the master bedroom, all filled with clothes, and it looked like they hadn't been tidied up much yet.

There were a few items hanging in the wardrobe, but that was all.

There were also several boxes in the living room, all filled with clothes.

This room doesn't look like a place for people to live; it looks more like a warehouse.

There are very few traces of daily life.

There were no cups, bowls, or anything like that.

There was only a pile of bottled water in the corner.

Aside from having a lot of clothes and skincare products, Jiang Xutong doesn't have much else.

We just moved in, and we haven't bought many things yet, so it's very simple.

Fingerprints were also extracted from the skincare products, and Jiang Xutong's comb was also taken away.

"So it seems Jiang Nankun lived here," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“They haven’t lived here for very long,” Su Miaoyi said. “That’s true, Jiang Xutong hasn’t been here long either.”

“The down jacket is here. In the early hours of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Xutong and Jiang Nankun most likely took the elevator or walked up the stairs from here to Yan Zhou’s residence,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “But it’s not on the surveillance footage.”

"Is there a problem with the surveillance?" Su Miaoyi said.

"Can't they see the problem with the surveillance?" Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked around the room and said, "Let's go back first."

They reviewed the surveillance footage and returned to the municipal bureau.

Xi Xian also went to the Municipal Bureau.

The fingerprint comparison results came out very quickly.

The fingerprints on the fruit knife belonged to Shen Yanzhou.

In Shen Yanzhou's house, all the fingerprints extracted from the door, besides Shen Yanzhou's, were a few scattered fingerprints belonging to Su Miaoyi.

It's actually quite normal to have Shen Yanzhou's fingerprints on the fruit knife; after all, it's his knife, used for cutting fruit.

However, judging from the fingerprints, the knife was held with the hand reversed.

No one would hold a knife with their hand behind their back to cut fruit.

Fingerprints were also extracted from men's toiletries and other items at Jiang Xutong's residence and compared with Jiang Nankun's fingerprints, confirming that Jiang Nankun was staying at her residence.

Shen Yanzhou entered the interrogation room.

Qi Feng and Zheng Qi went to conduct the interrogation.

Both Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng need to recuse themselves.

The two were anxious but helpless.
 I'm a bit tired and dazed today; the words are even a little blurry. I'll correct the typos tomorrow.

  Happy February, everyone.

  good night.
