Chapter 228 An Unexpected Discovery

This morning, Lan Feng immediately retrieved the surveillance video of Qin Jiangkai's residential area.

"At 10:16 am on the 11th," Lan Feng retrieved a video image: "The victim Ruan Xiaoqing walked into the elevator of Unit 2, Building 15, Xingfuyuan Community."

The surveillance camera was installed in the elevator.

At 10:16, the elevator opened and the floor was displayed as the 11th floor.

Ruan Xiaoqing appeared alone in the picture.

A white down jacket with a large plush earmuff.

Black cotton socks and a pair of brand new long boots.

"The video was shot from above, so Ruan Xiaoqing's face was not completely captured."

"However, I have taken screenshots of the video and asked Lin Sisi and Ruan Xiaoqing's other two roommates to identify it."

"From the perspective of figure, hairstyle, etc., it should be Ruan Xiaoqing."

Chen Yan nodded, which was basically confirmed.

Ruan Xiaoqing walked into the elevator, perhaps because the weather was a bit cold, took off her gloves and blew on her hands to keep warm.

There was a ring on the ring finger of her right hand.

Chen Yan compared the ring in his mind with the one at the scene of the finger amputation, and they were exactly the same.

"But," Lan Feng pointed at the figure in the video, with a puzzled look on his face: "After Ruan Xiaoqing left the elevator, she did not appear at the gate of the community."

In addition to Chen Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Qingshan and others were also listening to Lan Feng's report.

According to Lan Feng's investigation results, if Ruan Xiaoqing did not appear at the gate of the community, then where did she go?

Everyone knows the layout of the entire community, and there is only one entrance and exit at the main gate.

It is the only way for all pedestrians to enter and exit the community.

So, did Ruan Xiaoqing leave something behind and return to Qin Jiangkai's house again?

Liu Qingshan asked this question.

However, Lan Feng shook his head: "My first reaction was the same."

"But, I checked the elevator surveillance immediately afterwards, and I didn't find any video of Ruan Xiaoqing taking the elevator back."

"Did the elevator at that time... have a temporary malfunction, or for some other reason, did Ruan Xiaoqing go up the stairs?"

"This..." Lan Feng pondered for a moment: "The elevator malfunction should not exist."

"Because the video I checked was continuous, and there were people going in and out of the elevator all the time, and it was always running."

"As for whether Ruan Xiaoqing took the stairs..."

"It's not certain at the moment."

It's indeed not certain.

In the community where Qin Jiangkai lives, only the elevator has surveillance cameras in each unit.

But there are no cameras installed in the corridors and near the entrance doors.

If Ruan Xiaoqing took the elevator out of the unit and then took the stairs back to Qin Jiangkai's house, Lan Feng would definitely not be able to find it through the video.

However...

Chen Yan shook his head: "The possibility of this is very small."

"Everyone pay attention to Ruan Xiaoqing's clothes."

"On the day of the 10th, Qin Jiangkai and Ruan Xiaoqing met and bought clothes, shoes and bags for Ruan Xiaoqing at the mall."

"And the clothes Ruan Xiaoqing wore in the video are very new, without any wrinkles."

"It should be the new clothes Qin Jiangkai bought her... Pay attention to the leather boots she wears."

"They are high-heeled boots," Chen Yan said, while Lan Feng on the other side enlarged the picture: "And when the elevator was not faulty, Ruan Xiaoqing climbed the stairs wearing high-heeled boots and returned to the 11th floor..."

"This possibility is very small."

"It doesn't make sense."

"Moreover, in the video, Ruan Xiaoqing didn't rummage through her bag, which means that at least she didn't find anything left in the elevator."

Chen Yan's analysis makes sense.

Climbing the 11th floor of stairs in high-heeled boots is indeed unlikely.

"So, after Ruan Xiaoqing left the apartment building, she most likely did not return to Qin Jiangkai's home."

"But," Lan Feng's eyes were full of doubts: "Where could she go?"

"There is only one exit in this community, and there is a high-definition camera at the exit."

"I have checked the video information of this camera within three days."

"But, no trace of Ruan Xiaoqing was found."

"As for the other exit, I also sent people to check, and there was no trace of Ruan Xiaoqing either."

"She can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

Lan Feng's investigation was very detailed.

After discovering that the video at the gate did not capture Ruan Xiaoqing's trace, Lan Feng did not let go of the surveillance at the exit.

The community where Qin Jiangkai lives is quite high-end.

People and vehicles are separated in and out.

There is an entrance on both sides and an exit for vehicles.

Vehicles enter and exit the community in a one-way cycle.

Of course, the community does not achieve complete separation of people and vehicles.

In the yard, there are both underground parking garages and ground parking spaces.

Although the vehicle exit is only for vehicles, there are also some pedestrians who go out from the vehicle exit.

Therefore, Lan Feng did not miss the video of the vehicle exit, and even retrieved the video of the vehicle entrance.

However, there was still no trace of Ruan Xiaoqing.

"Check other surveillance in the community."

Chen Yan pointed to the vehicle exit of the community: "After leaving the apartment building, Ruan Xiaoqing has only two possible places to go."

"The first is to return to Qin Jiangkai's residence."

"Although there is no evidence to support this, if for some special reason unknown to us, Ruan Xiaoqing really returned to Qin Jiangkai's home by climbing the stairs and was killed, it is not impossible."

"So, immediately organize a search of Qin Jiangkai's residence."

"Second, here in Lanfeng, all surveillance in the community must be screened."

"Including the underground garage of the community and the above-ground road video, all must be checked."

"Ruan Xiaoqing cannot disappear out of thin air, and her traces must be found."

…

Xingfuyuan Community.

Chen Yan personally came to search Qin Jiangkai's residence.

If Ruan Xiaoqing really returns to Qin Jiangkai's residence through the stairs, then Qin Jiangkai's residence may be the first scene of the crime.

Judging from the degree of Ruan Xiaoqing's wetness, it is impossible for the murderer not to leave clues at the crime scene no matter what.

For example, the smell of blood, such as the smell of cooked ostrich meat.

Of course, Ruan Xiaoqing's time of death was determined by the autopsy results to be around December 12.

A week has passed since today.

If the site is not airtight, the smell will be difficult to retain.

However, using Chen Yan's ability to open the olfactory gene lock will definitely lead to some different discoveries.

In Room 1101, as soon as he opened the door, Chen Yan opened the olfactory and visual gene locks.

The room was neat and clean.

Chen Yan gasped and went straight to the kitchen.

Qin Jiangkai's home is very large, with an area of ​​about 180 square meters.

Therefore, the kitchen area will be much larger.

However, after entering the kitchen, Chen Yan frowned slightly.

There is no smell of blood or other smells.

Although there are traces of use throughout the kitchen, it can be clearly seen that it has not been used much.

Opening the cupboard, Chen Yan took out a set of knives.

It is a duo brand of knives.

If you look closely, you can see that the blade is sharp, but there are no burrs on the blade, such as chopping bones.

These knives are used very rarely.

When I opened the refrigerator, there were some fruits and some popsicles in the freezer, but no meat.

Moreover, there is no frozen meat, and there is no frost on the box.

smell……

Similar to the smell of a new refrigerator.

It was initially concluded that there had never been any meat frozen in the refrigerator.

Leaving the kitchen, there was no quilt in the bedroom.

Last night, it was already midnight when Qin Jiangkai was taken to the detective team.

At that time, everyone was already asleep.

Because it was winter, the windows in the bedroom were closed, so the smell didn't dissipate.

In addition to the smell that Chen Yan knew about Qin Jiangkai's body, there were three other different smells in this bedroom.

Moreover, the smells are all recent and relatively light.

It seems that Qin Jiangkai, in addition to having contact with Ruan Xiaoqing recently, has also come to this bedroom to play with at least two other people.

Of course, Chen Yan couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.

But it must be at least two people.

Half an hour later, Chen Yan led the team to leave.

Qin Jiangkai's home has no problems.

At the very least, it wasn't the first scene of the crime.

It was already noon when we returned to the detective team.

Lan Feng's investigation had no results yet, and Chen Yan watched the video Zhao Bing brought back from the technical college.

As Zhao Bing said, most of the videos are blurry.

However, the video at the school gate and parking lot is relatively clear.

Starting from the afternoon of the 11th, Chen Yan started watching videos.

Chen Yan carefully observed every car that entered the campus.

Judging from the current information, Ruan Xiaoqing disappeared after walking out of the elevator of the unit building of Xingfuyuan Community at 10:16 a.m. on the 11th, and died around the 12th.

On the evening of the 15th, a corpse appeared in the Vocational and Technical College.

Therefore, Ruan Xiaoqing's body was brought to school after being frozen, and then soaked in water inside the school.

Or did the murderer do all this outside the school and then bring the body objects into the school?

These are all possible.

Because the campus is small and there are few parking spaces, the school's vehicle entry and exit management is relatively strict.

External vehicles entering and exiting must be registered.

In view of this, Chen Yan hopes to find some clues about the entry and exit of vehicles at the gate.

At 5pm, it was already dark.

Chen Yan was still checking video information in the office.

From the afternoon of the 11th to the evening of the 17th, Chen Yan had basically watched the video at the gate.

However, nothing was gained.

These days, although foreign vehicles need to be registered, it is only a mobile phone number, who to look for and when to leave.

Then, school security also cleans up unregistered cars at night.

As for the internal vehicles, it is a state of free passage.

There is no obvious suspicion in the video.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Chen Yan stretched.

boom!

The office door suddenly opened.

Chen Yan looked up and saw Lan Feng.

At this moment, Lan Feng was furious, but there was joy on his face.

He also held a hard drive in his hand and gestured excitedly towards Chen Yan.

"Boss! We have made a major discovery!"
