Love You Till the End-Chapter 962 - 961: Thank You for Your Hard Work
"My friend went on a trip; he’s Mr. Zhai from upstairs in 2402. I didn’t know he was away until I asked his neighbors and found out he was abroad," Qin Shaobai asked the landlord early about the upstairs resident’s situation.
"Alright, thank you for your testimony. We will collect evidence, and we also hope you can keep this confidential. We’ll keep you updated on the case progress."
"Thank you for your hard work."
When leaving the police station, it was just dawn, and Qin Shaobai was standing outside smoking, with a suit jacket draped over his shoulders, one hand propping up the car, exuding a lazy yet slightly disheveled aura.
Upon hearing her footsteps approaching, he extinguished the cigarette, "Let’s go, sleep in the car for a while, and wait for Jue to come over and handle it."
After discovering that Zhao Ren was no longer breathing, she noticed the documents left on the table, which was the planning proposal for the land in the west of the city. Hence, the police also notified Shi Aoju for an investigation.
"I still can’t figure out when exactly Xiao Chen escaped," Qi Jingren wondered.
When they came down from the opposite building, it was only around fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen should have taken the stairs down. Later, when Qin Shaobai checked the stairwell, there were no traces of a car leaving.
The police investigated that the building was rental property. The actual owner claimed that no one had rented it recently and hurried back from out of town to participate in the investigation of the case.
This really is one wave not settled before another wave arises.
Last night, according to Qin Shaobai’s instructions, Qi Jingren went to 2301, but the door was indeed wide open as she reported to the police; however, she had taken the silenced pistol from Zhao Ren’s pocket while wearing gloves.
Qin Shaobai said it was one of the firearms they had lost earlier, marked with the origin of the shipment.
She also carefully went through the planning proposal on the table, which was a construction plan for each plot of land in the west of the city, seemingly showing that Zhao Ren wanted to develop that piece of land.
When the police came to survey the scene, they found no fingerprints in the house other than Zhao Ren’s.
"Xiao Chen wasn’t wearing gloves at the time, so why aren’t there any fingerprints?" Qin Shaobai wondered, resting his chin, "Even if wiped clean, it’s too late at this time point." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Shi Aoju and Su Jiuyi first went to the police station, then headed to the crime scene.
Upon arrival, the police were still questioning the nearby residents, asking if they noticed anything unusual last night.
The surveillance footage was also investigated, but Qin Shaobai already had someone erase the records from the opposite building.
Most importantly, Xiao Chen also erased his chat records in the building, including at the community gate, where there were no detailed records at all.
Just like last time at Ciaos, vanishing without a trace.
"Can the police retrieve the surveillance footage that Xiao Chen deleted?" Su Jiuyi asked in confusion.
"There’s no way," Qin Shaobai replied, "Because even Zhi Ke couldn’t find any traces of the footage being edited, proving that the person we’re dealing with is beyond our expectation."
Su Jiuyi nodded, then saw the exhausted Qi Jingren yawning, patted her head for comfort, "You’ve done well. When I couldn’t find you, I thought something happened to you."
"Not at all," Qi Jingren waved her hand, "My phone just happened to die, so I couldn’t notify you in time."
At this moment, Shi Aoju finished with the police investigation and emerged from the stairwell.
