Chapter 951: Leave the Perfume to Me
“I’m afraid I’ll have to find an expert.” Mu Qiqi shook her head. That was all she knew about perfumes.
After all, she didn’t use anything else other than deodorant.
“I’ll go check the nearby surveillance cameras and visit the nearby residents to see if they’ve seen a woman wearing this piece of clothing walking around. I’ll check the surveillance camera where Lou Zhao was carried into the van.”
Because of this, Tang Yan’s investigation of the case had a new direction.
“Leave the perfume to me,” Sheng Xiao, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said to the two of them.
Mu Qiqi and Tang Yan suddenly turned their heads and looked at Sheng Xiao together. However, Sheng Xiao continued, “I can give you an accurate reply tomorrow morning.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, CEO Sheng. But to ensure the integrity of the physical evidence, I’ll send someone to your scientific research department later to investigate with your people.”
Tang Yan knew that Sheng Xiao had an independent research department that covered a wide range of fields. One of the most important reasons was to satisfy Mu Qiqi’s needs before deciding whether to ma.s.s produce.
“Tomorrow, let’s unveil the real murderer.”
The three of them searched the house for a long time. Finally, when they finally left, Tang Yan asked Sheng Xiao before he got into the car, “CEO Sheng, how confident are you that the Song family did this?”
“We’ll find out if there are any new faces around Song Jiang. I’ll send someone to find out about this. You just need to investigate the case,” Sheng Xiao replied to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan put his hands on his waist and nodded in the direction when Sheng Xiao had left.
He could feel that Sheng Xiao was angry. It seemed that the Song family had really stepped on his toes this time.
..
After Sheng Xiao got into the car, Mu Qiqi quickly took credit for herself. “I told you I was useful, didn’t I? So, I’m sure you were right to let me get involved.”
Sheng Xiao tilted his head to look at her and nudged her head. “It’s time to go home and sleep.”
“Is it that hard to praise me?” Mu Qiqi mumbled.
When Sheng Xiao heard her complaint, he finally rubbed her head. “Your Captain Tang can’t live without you anymore. Haven’t you noticed? This is the biggest compliment.”
“It’s useless if he can’t leave me. He has to let me give birth to the baby first.” Mu Qiqi hugged her protruding belly and said, “I only hope that we can solve Lou Zhao’s case as soon as possible. That way, you’ll feel much better.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything else and just drove off with Mu Qiqi.
After he got home, he immediately informed the people in the research department and cooperated with the police to extract the fragrance from the clothes as quickly as possible. He also needed to know the brand and the place of origin of the perfume.
As for the inside of the clothes, he absolutely could not touch it carelessly, because there might be traces of the woman’s DNA on it. There might be skin shavings or hair, which could be used to extract DNA.
On this point, the people sent by Tang Yan knew how to protect the physical evidence.
The research department had done an examination, so they had to send everything to the police station immediately for the forensic doctor to do further tests.
Sheng Xiao had originally promised to produce results the next day, but before dawn, the research department had already come to a conclusion.
They also found a sample of the perfume and had the police bring it back to the police station.
“The name of this perfume is Hypnotic Poison. It’s a legendary perfume launched by Dior in 1998, Red Poison.” Tang Yan saw the detailed explanation left behind by the people from the research department.
A female murderer wearing a brand-name perfume?
Tang Yan thought about it and felt that it was interesting. He took the sample of the perfume and took a sniff. He thought that the smell was very special and that it was a little pungent. It was not the perfume’s problem, it was a man’s problem.
However, for now, the use of the perfume had to be put aside.
This was because he was checking the surveillance cameras at all the intersections. Most importantly, he was repeatedly watching the video of Lou Zhao being moved into the van.
He had watched the entire scene no less than ten times. He had planned to give up, but the shadow on the gla.s.s door of the convenience store made Tang Yan press the pause b.u.t.ton.
Then, he zoomed in and found that while the van driver was settling accounts with the owner of the store, the woman who was buying cigarettes stood beside them…
She had long hair and wore a beige windbreaker. It was the one Mu Qiqi had found.
Then, the van driver drove away. A moment later, the woman also left the convenience store wearing a mask.
“Old Cheng, find a way to verify the ident.i.ty of this woman.”
Tang Yan pointed at the sleepy Old Cheng and gave an order.
Old Cheng took a look and suddenly widened his eyes. “Boss, who is this?”
“Lou Zhao’s murderer.”
“A woman?” Old Cheng was in disbelief.
“She has an accomplice.” Old Cheng looked at the windbreaker beside Tang Yan and knew that he had a plan in mind. He immediately perked up and sat down in front of the computer.
“Captain Tang, give me some time.”
At this moment, Tang Yan was in the branch, racing against time to solve the case. The Song family was also planning to make a move again. This time, their target was Lou Zhao’s daughter-in-law and grandson, because women and children were the easiest targets. This could destroy Lou Zichen’s determination to move forward bravely.
Song Jiang and Uncle Rong were having a discussion in the study. Song Bozhi knew that Uncle Rong had a very vicious gang that specialized in handling “difficulties” for the rich.
This was the reason why Uncle Rong came straight to the front.
It was simple and violent, not giving people a chance to react.
While the two old men were discussing in the study, Song Bozhi was sitting in his office, watching the video surveillance.
The police were trying to get to the bottom of the matter, and these two lunatics were plotting a murder. Did they really think that Tang Yan and Sheng Xiao were dead?
The old man used to have some misgivings about issues, but now that Uncle Rong was back, he was completely deranged.
In order not to be dragged into this mess by the old man, Song Bozhi felt that it was necessary for him to have a backup plan just in case.
It was beautiful to play games with Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi, but he did not want to be completely involved in it.
..
The next morning, Mu Qiqi got up. However, she heard Sheng Xiao say that the Lou family would go to the branch office that day to retrieve Lou Zhao’s body and then arrange for a cremation.
“I’ll go and visit the Lou family on your behalf.” Mu Qiqi got up as well. “Although you’ve already been there, I think they’ll be more relieved if I go and comfort them.”
Sheng Xiao turned around from the dressing mirror and glanced at Mu Qiqi. He did not refute her suggestion. “Wear thicker clothes, big-bellied woman.”
Mu Qiqi was very unhappy when she heard him call her a big-bellied woman. “There are two of us here.”
Sheng Xiao saw her get off the bed and walk to the side of the bed. He half-squatted and helped her put on her shoes, he explained, “When Lou Zhao joined us, he was already prepared for this day. I didn’t hide the danger of the matter from him, but he still agreed. Not only for his family, but also for his education. It’s just that I didn’t protect the good people well. I’m to blame.”
