Chapter 539 A Clean and Tidy Rental House

There are three buildings in the courtyard, two of which are three-story and one is five-story. The building where Wu Degui lives is the three-story building on the right after entering the courtyard.

Wu Degui's room is located at the innermost part of the west side of the building. There is only one public staircase in the whole building. After going up the stairs, there is a corridor on the outside, which links every room.

Outside the cordon, there were two detectives. After helping Chen Yan open the cordon, they stood outside and did not follow up.

The lighting in the room is a bit dim, as there is only one window and the lighting is not particularly good.

Entering the door is a small living room, and on the left is a bathroom with an open door.

Liu Qingshan followed Chen Yan and introduced their search and visits to neighbors.

"According to information provided by the landlord, Wu Degui has lived here for 6 years and is the longest-lived tenant among the tenants."

"But Wu Degui is usually taciturn, not good at communicating, and is not very familiar with the people around him."

"So even though he has lived here for the longest time, many people don't know much about him."

"The only people he usually talks to are a few co-workers who work together. The man across the street who just asked him to come out to work is one of them. His name is Zhang Zhian."

Chen Yan carefully inspected the living room while listening to Liu Qingshan's report.

Although the room was a bit dark, to Chen Yan's expectation, it was relatively clean and tidy, with no clutter. There was a small sofa and an old TV in the living room.

There is no ashtray or snacks on the coffee table, but there are many discs placed under the coffee table.

Putting on his gloves, Chen Yan took out a few and looked at them.

There are very few people who watch DVDs in this era, but the discs under the coffee table are not dusty at all, and compared to other items placed in order, the placement of these discs is a bit disordered. .

I pulled out a disc. The printing on it was a bit rough, and it looked like a pirated copy.

Pick up the remote control on the tea machine and press the switch on the old TV in the corner to start it.

There was a DV player under the TV. Chen Yan found the DV remote control next to the TV remote control and pressed the power button as well.

Perhaps because the TV was too old, it took nearly half a minute for the TV to slowly start up, and pictures popped up on the screen.

There was obviously a disc placed in the DV player, and what popped up on the screen was people wearing detective uniforms having a meeting.

In the upper left corner of the screen is the name of the disc's content: Serious Case Record.

This Wu Degui actually values ​​serious crime records!

Chen Yan put down the remote control and took out a dozen discs from under the coffee table. At a glance, they all seemed to be criminal investigation movies or TV series.

Although there is no date on the disc's packaging, it is somewhat faded and appears to be quite a few years old.

Moreover, among them, movies or TV series such as Serious Case Group 6 and Hong Kong Police were all watched by Chen Yan when he was a child.

Liu Qingshan also found these discs during the search, but he didn't read them as carefully as Chen Yan.

At this moment, someone came to his senses: "This Wu Degui...couldn't he have learned how to kill from these discs?"

Chen Yan put down the disc and nodded noncommittally: "It seems that he not only learned how to kill people, but also learned how to clean up traces at the scene and how to avoid detection by detectives."

After getting up and leaving the living room, Chen Yan walked towards the inner room. There was a transparent glass between the living room and the bedroom inside.

It is divided by sliding doors, which is similar to the living room. The bedroom is also relatively clean and tidy.

The bedding on the bed was neatly stacked, and the floor was clean, obviously cleaned frequently.

This is not easy for ordinary migrant workers. When Chen Yan just went upstairs, he passed by the rooms of several migrant workers.

Most of them are quite messy, and I have never seen them cleaned up as cleanly as Wu Degui.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Most of the people living here work part-time jobs, which are highly labor-intensive and tiring.

Moreover, most of the people who work here are men, and some rooms are even rented jointly by several men.

A bunch of rough men go to work early in the morning and don't come back until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. After eating and drinking, they go to bed and have no time to clean up the house.

And this is also a rented room. You can't live there for a few months and then go to work somewhere else, let alone clean it up.

But precisely because Wu Degui's room was relatively clean and tidy, it looked obvious at a glance.

In the bedroom, apart from the bed, there is a simple wardrobe in the corner, and nothing else.

Liu Qingshan has searched this house no less than 5 times, but no matter how many times he looks, there are just a few furnishings and objects in the house. The walls are surrounded by cement walls, and it is impossible to cut them open and create a hidden space.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan really didn't find any valuable clues.

"The bathroom, wardrobe, and bed are the only places in the room where things might be stored. I checked them all, but found nothing."

Liu Qingshan was telling the truth. He looked through the water heater in the bathroom, the clothes in the closet, the board on the bed, under the bed and even the mattress, but found nothing.

could not find it?

Chen Yan smiled slightly.

"It's okay, master, I found it soon."

Chen Yan activated the olfactory and visual gene locks as soon as he entered the room.

Wu Degui used alcohol to disinfect the taxi where Li Yansong was killed, so there was no trace of Wu Degui's smell left.

Wu Degui and Li Yansong spent nearly an hour together. It was impossible for Wu Degui to use alcohol to disinfect himself, so his body must be stained with Li Yansong's smell.

Chen Yan had already discovered it when Wu Degui was captured.

But in this room, the smell was even stronger.

Not only that, Chen Yan could even smell a faint smell of blood in the room.

Although there was only a trace, Chen Yan could still feel it.

Looking around, Chen Yan was sure that Wu Degui must have hidden something in this room.

For a serial murderer like Wu Degui, he would never trust anyone.

This kind of person is very careful and suspicious. The clothes he wears to kill people and the tools he uses to commit crimes will be placed where he can see them at all times.

So, where could this thing be?

"Have you ever looked inside the bathroom ceiling?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "This house has been simply decorated, and there is no ceiling at all in the bathroom."

There is no ceiling…

Chen Yan walked into the bathroom and looked up. Indeed, as Liu Qingshan said, there was an electric water heater and a bare cement wall above.

"There is such a water heater in the bathroom. We just took a look at it. There are no signs of disassembly, and it is working normally. There is no way there is anything hidden inside."

Chen Yan nodded. Liu Qingshan was right. This water heater is one meter long and half a meter in diameter cannot hide anything.

However, Chen Yan smelled a clearer smell of blood in the bathroom.

"Master, help me find a metal rod or something like that."

The entire house, the walls in the living room and bedrooms are painted with latex paint, and only the bathroom tiles are installed.

Liu Qingshan saw Chen Yan knocking on the tiles on the wall and understood what Chen Yan meant: "You mean... he put something into the wall?"

"It's possible, just knock it and see if there's an echo."

"Okay, wait for me. There are steel bars in the yard below."
