Chapter 114 The murderer is a woman
Although at this moment, Gu Nankai and Cao Cang's clothes were soaked with sweat, the loose hair on their foreheads had been matted together by sweat, and it seemed that even their eyelashes were covered with hot sweat, but this did not affect their excitement at all.
Or rather, it was Cao Cang's excitement, because Gu Nankai had already discovered everything in the past period of time. At this moment, he was just testing whether the young man in front of him could follow his guidance and meet his expectations of him.
Cao Cang did not disappoint Gu Nankai. He scraped some things off the tree with his pocket knife and carefully put them into the evidence bag. Then he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his wrist and said, "Besides the hair you found, there are other things on the tree trunk."
Gu Nankai smiled and motioned for him to continue.
Cao Cang continued, "It should be something like women's cosmetics." He picked up the knife he had used to scrape the substance on the tree trunk and put it to his nose and sniffed for a long time: "This thing has a fragrance, very similar to the smell of women's cosmetics. We will get the result after we go back and identify it ."
Gu Nankai smiled, very satisfied with his behavior, but he added: "You are right, we can indeed determine that the murderer is a woman."
He tried to reconstruct the scene at that time and said: "The murderer should have been injured by the residual concentrated sulfuric acid. Although she was wearing gloves, the concentration of the sulfuric acid was very high. The residual sulfuric acid dripped onto her hands. She threw the bottle here in great pain. And only girls would lean face down against something when they are injured."
He took a step forward and approached a tree, and directly simulated the situation at that time: "The murderer should have pressed his forehead against the tree trunk, so the makeup on his face was left here, and a hair was scratched off. This hair should be the bangs on the forehead."
"But we didn't find the other cufflink here." After hearing what Gu Nankai said, Cao Cang said something else. Gu Nankai pursed his lips and said, "The cufflinks should have been taken away by the murderer. Now we have found the fingerprints and the organization related to the murderer, which is already very good."
"There is also a phone card." Cao Cang smiled: "If we can find the connection between the murderer and Chen Xin'an from this card, we can go to the other two crime scenes later. I think we can find something else."
Gu Nankai shook his head and said, "We probably won't find much at the second crime scene, but I still have a question. What is the purpose of that small tube-like indentation we found at the beginning?"
Cao Cang couldn't figure it out either. Combining all the clues, they couldn't find any possibility that could be related to that indentation.
"Okay, we'll go to Sun Zihan's crime scene and take another look. If there's still time, we'll go to the second crime scene. I think if we can't find the purpose of that indentation, then it's very likely that it was something the murderer left behind to lure us."
Cao Cang didn't say much because he really couldn't think of any more possibilities.
The two men collected everything they found and walked back. They found that they had reached the deepest part of the jungle. The two people in front were busy looking for clues and didn't realize it. When they walked back, they felt that this deep part was indeed a bit deserted and weird. The two grown men shrugged their shoulders belatedly and it took them some time to walk out.
After Gu Nankai and Cao Cang went out, they drove to the second crime scene. Time passed quickly. Except for Gao Yuan and Wu Qingluan, who were working in the serious crime team through network technology and telephone calls, everyone else ran back to the serious crime team exhausted until nine o'clock in the evening for the meeting.
Gu Nankai and Cao Cang arrived earlier. Just when they sat down to take a break, Shang Lu and Li Meng also came back. As soon as they entered the serious crime team, they walked to the long table and climbed up directly. They looked exhausted.
"I'm so tired..." Shang Lu closed her eyes and yawned loudly, causing others to yawn one after another. For a moment, everyone felt sleepy and looked funny with tears in their eyes. Wu Qingluan smiled helplessly and quickly brought a few cups of coffee from the table not far away: "I know you are all tired after coming back, so I made coffee for you."
She ran back and forth several times, and when she came over for the last time, she said, "The takeaway has been ordered, and it will probably be here soon. We're tired after a busy day, so let's take a break first and we'll talk while we eat."
Wu Qingluan's behavior made Gu Nankai look at her subconsciously. When he met her eyes, Wu Qingluan just rolled her eyes at him proudly. He smiled and leaned back: "It's great to have Teacher Wu thinking about us. I've been hungry for a long time."
Wu Qingluan's heart trembled, as if she had not expected Gu Nankai to say this, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and said somewhat arrogantly: "The most important thing is that I didn't eat it either, what are you thinking about?"
After a busy day, everyone was starving. The two jokes made everyone laugh, but they all lay on the table without getting up, just waiting for the takeaway to arrive, take a bite and then continue working. Shang Lu was a little girl, after laughing a few times, she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the table. Seeing this, everyone closed their mouths at the same time and drank the coffee that Wu Qingluan brought.
But there is still a lot to do. Shang Lu is the youngest person in the serious crime team, and everyone usually treats her as a younger sister, so no one woke her up at this time.
Not long after, the food Wu Qingluan ordered was delivered. The aroma of the food immediately woke up Shang Lu from her deep sleep. The little girl sniffed with her delicate nose, opened her hazy eyes, and shouted in a daze, "There's food! Come on and eat!"
Everyone was amused by her noisy appearance again. Wu Qingluan and Gao Yuan Caocang were busy opening all the bags and distributing chopsticks. Several people gathered around the long meeting table of the serious crime team and began to feast on the food.
He took a few big mouthfuls of rice to fill the emptiness in his stomach, and his hands' movements became a little slower.
"Okay, let's share our clues while we eat." Gu Nankai put down his chopsticks and said.
"We go first, we go first!" Shang Lu seemed very excited. She held chopsticks in her hand, stretched out her arm, and looked at Gu Nankai with her hand raised. It seemed that the progress between her and Li Meng was very gratifying.
"Okay, then you two tell me, what's the situation on the shore?" Gu Nankai smiled, and then took a mouthful of rice and put it in his mouth. He felt that the rice was much sweeter than usual.
"Do you want me to speak or should I?" Shang Lu was very hungry. He stuffed a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and turned to look at Li Meng. Li Meng's heart suddenly softened when he saw the little girl looking at him with her cheeks puffed out . His heart seemed to skip a beat. His ears seemed to be a little hot and his eyelids were a little burning.
"I said, you...you should eat well."
Li Meng held the chopsticks with some force, but almost no one noticed. Only he knew that his heart was beating rapidly at this moment.
It was a feeling he couldn't even describe, but he knew very well that the nervousness was caused by the girl who was looking at him with her mouth full and her cheeks puffed out.
"Oh, then you tell me." Shang Lu didn't realize anything was wrong. Instead, she giggled and glanced at Li Meng nonchalantly. She quickly stuffed a few bites of food into her mouth, as if only food could soothe her fatigue from a hard day's work.
Everyone smiled faintly, and Li Meng secretly hid his emotions.
