Chapter 6
With a crack, other than Liang Wenyuan and Chen Yan, all the other detectives went forward to take a look.
Inside the broken section, the white bone was clearly visible.
It was not plaster, it was clearly a human bone!
Liang Wenyuan sat on the sofa dejectedly. His eyes were lifeless and his expression was erratic.
Everyone looked at the broken bone with disbelief.
It really was a human skeleton?
“Xiao Chen… How did you find it?” The detective in charge of investigating the scene was also experienced. He did not expect to miss such an important clue.
Although these two skeletons were adult skeletons, their height did not match that of an adult skeleton. The plaster wrapped around the exterior made it very obvious that they were replicas.
Chen Yan could not say that he smelled it. After all, he was not a police dog.
“To be honest, I just guessed. After all, ordinary doctors would not put such things in their homes,” Chen Yan scratched his head, “Even if they did, there’s no need for two, right? Besides, when I read through the files just now, I noticed that not only is Liang Wenyuan a surgeon, but he’s also a fan of plaster sculptures. It’s obviously not difficult for him to put a layer of plaster on a real skeleton.”
“Good lad!” Liu Qingshan patted Chen Yan’s shoulder heavily, “If it weren’t for you, your Master would have fallen miserably in a very easy task. You’re the main contributor to this case! Men, take this skeleton back and interrogate the suspect quickly. Let’s go!”
“Master!” Chen Yan stopped Liu Qingshan and pointed at the other skeleton. “You have to take this one back too.”
Huh?
Liu Qingshan’s expression changed slightly.
The skeleton that everyone had just broken was that of the imitation female skeleton. They did not pay attention to the other skeleton.
After all, the missing Zhang Jingya was a female. The difference between the male and female skeletons was not obvious to most, but the police would definitely be able to tell the difference.
Therefore, the officers hadn’t broken the bones of the imitation male skeleton.
“Chen Yan,” Liu Qingshan pointed at another skeleton, “You mean…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChen Yan nodded. “Master, did you forget what I said just now? There had been nine people who have been in Liang Wenyuan’s house. This is the ninth person!”
Liu Qingshan, “…”
“By the way, seniors, there’s a dog on his balcony. Bring it back too. We have to dissect it,” Chen Yan added at the end.
Seeing the puzzled looks of the crowd, he explained, “The height of the two skeletons is obviously not right. Liang Wenyuan must have sawed open their tibia.”
Chen Yan then pointed at the two skeletons, “I suspect… you guys understand.”
F*ck!
This wasn’t the first day everyone had been working as police.
Of course, they understood what Chen Yan meant.
Wasn’t he suggesting that the bones had been fed to the dog?
When Chen Yan saw the Golden Retriever just now, he noticed that the dog seemed a little lazy, as if it had some indigestion.
Human bones were actually very hard. Even if the dog’s stomach acid digestion was very strong, it would probably still be difficult for it to digest the bones completely within a week.
Therefore, Chen Yan suggested bringing the Golden Retriever back. They should be able to find some evidence.
On top of that, the smell near the kennel…
This dog probably didn’t just eat bones, there should be a lot more…
The moment Liang Wenyuan was removed and sent to the station, a system notification sounded in Chen Yan’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the missing person’s case. Reward: activation of the visual gene.]
Whoosh!
With that, Chen Yan felt his body go numb and his eyes itch slightly. In just a few breaths, he returned to normal.
When he opened his eyes again, Chen Yan silently activated the visual gene.
The entire world seemed to come alive.
The dust in the air was like threads, and the words on the pages ten meters away seemed to be right in front of him.
The colleagues around him seemed to be frozen by time, their movements extremely slow.
“So this is the feeling of activating the visual gene?”
As if he was looking at everything from God’s perspective, Chen Yan had a view of all 360-degrees.
“If I use this with my Freeze-Frame ability…” Chen Yan suddenly had the delusion that he had become the all-dominating God.
“Chen Yan!” Chen Yan, who was immersed in the state of activating his visual gene, was called back to reality by Liu Qingshan, “What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, nothing,” Chen Yan shook his head and deactivated the visual gene, “I’m thinking about who the ninth person that Liang Wenyuan killed was, how the person entered the residential area, and why we didn’t see the victim on the surveillance cameras.”
Haha.
Liu Qingshan laughed. “What’s so hard about that? Liang Wenyuan is already captured. Are you afraid that we won’t be able to get the answer out of him? Besides, such a case is most likely a crime of passion. Then the ninth person is most likely Zhang Jingya’s lover.”
70% of the similar cases that Liu Qingshan had solved and heard of were such cases.
Chen Yan nodded. What Old Liu said made sense. In his previous life, he had also encountered similar cases, so the probability of this whole case being a crime of passion was indeed quite high.
Moreover, Liang Wenyuan was 53 years old this year. He and Zhang Jingya were a typical May-December couple.
In addition, Liang Wenyuan was also a chief thoracic surgeon. Although he earned a lot, he worked overtime a lot too, so he usually went home late.
It was normal for the 28-year-old Zhang Jingya to have other thoughts.
“Go back and run a test on the DNA. Check Zhang Jingya’s social connections too. We should be able to find the victim.”
Apart from the identity of the ninth person, Chen Yan still had many questions.
For example, how did Liang Wenyuan deal with the flesh and blood of the two victims?
Had he fed them all to the dog?
Those were two adult victims. Together, they weighed at least 100 kilograms.
According to Chen Yan’s speculation, Liang Wenyuan killed the two on the 4th. By the time he reported the case on the 11th, it had only been a week.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could a dog eat so much meat in seven days?
Thinking of the perverted murderers he met in his previous life, Chen Yan didn’t dare to guess anymore.
The more he thought about it, the more horrifying it got.
…
What had to be done next was relatively simple.
The detectives of the search and arrest unit conducted a thorough search of the flat.
A small amount of human tissue was extracted from a groove in the handle of a surgical knife in the glass room.
The murder weapon was thus found.
Blood samples were taken from the sewer of the big bathtub.
The place where the blood had been dumped was thus also found.
As long as Liang Wenyuan was confirmed as the murderer, the veteran detectives did not worry about the matter of looking for clues.
The identity information of the ninth person was also found.
It was Zhang Jingya’s ex-boyfriend, an unemployed vagrant who lived in a rented house in the suburbs.
He had also gone missing for a week.
It was just that the people in the rented house were not familiar with each other, so no one reported the case.
The murder weapon, the corpses, and the motive for the crime had all been sorted out, and Liang Wenyuan had finally been officially arrested.
In Liu Qingshan’s office in the second search and arrest unit.
“Liang Wenyuan is also quite pitiful,” Old Liu held the teacup that was filled with the tea that Chen Yan had brewed and gently blew on it. He took a sip before saying, “He got married twice. His first wife cheated and they got divorced. He probably didn’t expect his second wife to cheat again, and he even caught her red-handed.”
“Master, two questions,” Chen Yan refilled Liu Qingshan’s teacup with hot water, “How did Zhang Jingya’s lover enter the residence without being caught on camera? Also, it was the flesh and blood of two people. Did Liang Wenyuan tell you how he dealt with it?”
“That man, huh,” Liu Qingshan shook his head, “A thief from within is hard to guard against. Zhang Jingya had the man hide in the trunk of her car. She would drive the car directly to the entrance to their unit in the underground garage, thus avoiding the surveillance cameras in the garage. There are no surveillance cameras on the stairs of the residential area. By taking the stairs, the victim can then avoid the surveillance cameras in the elevator.”
Liu Qingshan then paused. “As for the flesh and blood of the two people…”
F*ck!
Chen Yan knew that it was impossible for everything to be fed to the dog.
