Chapter 551: But His EQ is Terribly Low

The toilet was very simple with just one sink, one squat toilet, and one shower.

“It’s inside.” Tang Yan took a look and turned to the professor. “It’s your turn to do the job.”

The toilet was not very big. It could only accommodate three people and it so happened that the professor just brought Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan along. So, they entered the toilet.

The corpse was actively decaying after passing the bloating stage. The body was curled up in the shower on its side. Obviously, someone put him in after his death.

“The victim is a male, about sixty to sixty-five years old. There is a visible ligature mark on his neck and his body shows signs of struggling. There is some fabric fibre and some keratinous tissue beneath his nails, and no wounds on other body parts. No signs of being poisoned so we can rule that out. So, we can basically be sure that he was choked to death.”

“I wasn’t expecting another murder case to be entwined with the current case. It doesn’t seem difficult to be solved.”

“The secret passage in the hotel bathroom above leads straight into this underground casino. The murderer knows this place. He might have hidden himself in here before. But when did he leave the place in the end?”

Feng Shanshan raised her doubts.

And, they were more stumped than ever.

In order not to leave any footprints, the murderer must have stayed until the police came before leaving the place. Everyone had thought that the murderer would leave footprints before they arrived. However, they would not think that he’d be hiding in the basement, waiting for the police to come before escaping.

Now that many policemen had walked in and out of the hotel every day, how could they find the footprints of the murderer anymore?

“He’s so cunning.”

“Let’s find out who the murderer of this case is first. There was evidence beneath the fingernails of the victim. It shouldn’t be difficult to investigate this case. Perhaps the two cases are related in some way.” The professor stood up and said to the rest, “Let’s go back and do the DNA analysis.”

“I’ve got an idea,” Mu Qiqi said to the professor.

Right then, Tang Yan said, “Compare the DNA of the fingernail scrapings with the DNA of the four victims.

Which was exactly what Mu Qiqi was thinking about.

If it was as they expected, then there might be a personal vendetta. The murderer had to be related to the victim then.

“Well, if that’s the case, we’ve got to act quickly.”

After the breakthrough, everyone was fired up. While the investigation team was confirming the identity of the victim, Tang Yan had a new question. “Since there is no exit in the basement and it can only be used for hiding, how did Liao Xing get out?”

Everyone thought about the mystery.

“He said that after he checked on the bodies, he was knocked out by someone. And when he gained consciousness, he was already outside,” the policeman answered. “Our colleague saw the wound on his head.”

“But what he said is illogical. Because when we got in, the murderer was hiding in the basement. He did not go out. If Liao Xing was knocked out by the murderer, the murderer should have gone out when Liao Xing was brought out of the place. So, it’s impossible that we didn’t find his footprints. And if Liao Xing was carried out by the murderer when we were there, who called the police then? It doesn’t make sense. He must be lying. You have to interrogate him again.
