It wasn't that Wang Qinqin lacked intelligence, but rather that she had witnessed Zhao Yan's capabilities.
"How did you know the victim was Li Mulan?"
A man's voice sounded from behind.
Zhao Yan turned around to look.
The man was in a police uniform, a tall figure of 1.8 meters, with a resolute face, holding a notebook in his hand.
"Captain Jiang, is the report out?" Officer Xiao Qin said to the man.
Jiang Yu hummed, his gaze fixed on Zhao Yan.
In his hand was the victim's report, which had just come out and was still warm.
The deceased was indeed Li Mulan.
How had this girl figured it out, especially with such certainty?
As he spoke, Jiang Yu approached Zhao Yan.
"I saw it."
Jiang Yu: "Hmm?"
"I specialize in physiognomy and fortune-telling, so I'm very sensitive to people's facial features. Once I see them, I remember them," Zhao Yan said.
"The victim's facial features?" Officer Xiao Qin quickly walked over and whispered to Zhao Yan, "Miss Zhao, you should leave quickly. This man was sent by the higher-ups, and he's very difficult. If you get entangled with him, it will be endless."
"I'll cover for you for a while. Don't talk to him."
"The victim's facial features? But the victim's face was completely smashed by a brick. Where are the facial features for comparison?"
"Besides, the victim's body has already been taken for verification. Are you conjuring a body out of thin air?"
Jiang Yu clearly didn't want Zhao Yan to leave. He quickly walked between her and Officer Xiao Qin, separating them.
Officer Xiao Qin rubbed his forehead, looking troubled. "Captain Jiang, Miss Zhao is my friend. You don't suspect her of being a criminal suspect, do you?"
"Sister Zhao has been with me the whole time. If you suspect us, you can check the surveillance cameras in our neighborhood," Wu Jiaxin said immediately, genuinely worried that Zhao Yan would be implicated.
Jiang Yu remained silent, still looking at Zhao Yan.
An ordinary person would likely be intimidated by his presence, but Zhao Yan's face remained calm.
Zhao Yan walked over to the police tape.
"Let her pass, don't stop her!" Some police officers, seeing Zhao Yan about to enter, worried about contaminating the crime scene and tried to stop her. Jiang Yu waved his hand and said.
The officers began to move aside.
However, Zhao Yan did not enter. Instead, she placed her hand on the police tape, touched it, and shook her head. "This is not the real crime scene."
"It's a crime scene deliberately fabricated by the killer."
"Fabricated?" Officer Xiao Qin exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Yan looked around. "This place is indeed a good location for a crime scene. There are some dilapidated walls around, and it's more than ten steps away from the main road. Pedestrians outside can't see this place at all."
"Perhaps when someone passes by, it will make the killer even more excited."
"But unfortunately, this is not the place."
"Even if you found the body here, the body was deliberately dragged here by the killer."
These few sentences stunned the surrounding police officers.
Of course, Zhao Yan wasn't speaking randomly. It was Li Mulan, the victim, who had personally told her.
Zhao Yan turned and walked away quickly.
Jiang Yu followed Zhao Yan, and the other officers hurried after them.
Arriving at the previous cement room, Zhao Yan pushed open the door.
This cement room was originally used to house livestock and had some straw. However, because it hadn't been used for a long time, the straw had started to smell.
"Officer Xiao Qin, could you please give me your gloves?" Zhao Yan asked Officer Xiao Qin.
Officer Xiao Qin said "Okay" and handed a pair of gloves to Zhao Yan.
After receiving the gloves, Zhao Yan quickly put them on.
She went to a corner, moved aside the rotting straw, and found a brick next to it.
"This brick is the murder weapon."
"So, how did you figure it out?" Jiang Yu asked.
Zhao Yan flipped the brick over to the other side.
There were bloodstains on the brick.
Walking to the doorway, she scooped up cement ash with her hand.
After scooping up the cement ash, Zhao Yan slowly outlined a face along the bloodstains on the brick.
"The brick is uneven. When it hits the face, the nose is the most easily injured. If you hit it harder, it would be the forehead and the left and right cheeks."
"Li Mulan's nose was quite prominent, and she had an oval face, so her face was slightly pointed."
"Logically, the entire flat surface of this brick should be covered in blood. But why isn't it? It's because the killer wanted to torture the victim to death slowly, and the angles of the blows were deliberate."
After speaking, Zhao Yan fell silent.
Her deductive skills were poor; all of this was told to her by Li Mulan herself.
Jiang Yu looked at Zhao Yan with disbelief.
He had already discovered that the previous crime scene was not the real one. The killer had been too deliberate.
With his abilities, it wasn't difficult for him to find the real crime scene.
But it would take some time.
However, he was stunned that this young lady had figured it out.
At first, he had indeed suspected Zhao Yan, but after thinking about it, he immediately dismissed the suspicion.
