Wrong Interrogation Room, The First Cracked Case Shocked the World

Chapter 42: Doubts about the robbery case!

Since Captain Zhou Ze had delegated authority, Ning Cheng wasn't going to be polite either. He didn't pay much attention to the power struggle. All he cared about was solving the case, catching the killer, and preventing more casualties.

"Who do you want to take with you from Group 2?" Zhou Ze surveyed the team members in the office and asked Ning Cheng.

"Everyone except those already working on cases," Ning Cheng replied, his gaze sweeping over the team. His eyes landed on the charming and intelligent Mu Xiaoyu. "Mu Xiaoyu!"

Then his gaze settled on two young, upright male team members. "Chen Yang, Liu Qi!"

Ning Cheng had a reason for choosing these individuals. They were all young officers who had recently completed their internships. They were eager to prove themselves and would be more responsive than the more seasoned officers.

Zhou Ze nodded in agreement. "Go ahead. And bring a forensic doctor from the technical squadron."

"Right away!"

After selecting his team, Ning Cheng and his crew quickly departed for the crime scene. However, just as they were about to leave, Tang Xin, the female forensic doctor from the technical squadron, arrived late.

Ning Cheng didn't know her name, but he recognized her from the previous case involving Hedao Sun Huirong, where Zhou Ziyan had been involved. At that time, Director Chen had brought two intern forensic doctors, one of whom was Tang Xin.

"It's you? Big Brother Ning Cheng!" Tang Xin exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ning Cheng.

Mu Xiaoyu, who clearly knew Tang Xin, chuckled. "What's with the 'Big Brother Ning Cheng' title, boss?"

"Yeah, I saw Ning Cheng conducting an autopsy during the Hedao Sun Huirong case," Tang Xin explained. "His autopsy skills were amazing. Even the teachers in the academy aren't as smooth as him. It was like watching art."

"So powerful? Does that mean Ning Cheng is even better than your professional forensic doctor?" Mu Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Tang Xin stuck out her tongue. "It's very possible!"

"Then our Comrade Ning Cheng is truly a treasure policeman, knowing so many skills!" Mu Xiaoyu winked at Ning Cheng and teased Tang Xin. "Do you know who we're leading the team this time?"

"Who?"

"The 'big boss Ning Cheng' you just mentioned!"

Mu Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes twinkled as she looked at Ning Cheng.

The two male criminal investigation team officers exchanged glances, a wave of envy washing over them. It was clear that Mu Xiaoyu had a crush on Ning Cheng.

While Mu Xiaoyu wasn't as striking as Zhou Ziyan, she was still a beautiful woman, charming and cute, and her intelligence attracted many young men in the police station. But she seemed to have her eyes set on Ning Cheng.

Since Ning Cheng had joined Criminal Investigation Team 2, Mu Xiaoyu had been a constant presence by his side. Coffee, milk tea, bread, takeout – Ning Cheng's table was never empty.

The other officers, both new and old, were envious.

Beauty, they thought, was justice.

If they had simply attributed Mu Xiaoyu's attraction to Ning Cheng's good looks, they wouldn't have been so convinced. But Ning Cheng's ability to solve crimes and apprehend murderers was truly remarkable, and his achievements earned him respect and admiration.

So, when Ning Cheng took charge, they had no complaints. The police station, after all, valued strength.

Tang Xin looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. "Boss Ning Cheng, are you leading the team?"

"I am," Ning Cheng nodded.

"The big guy is the big guy. He's really strong. Don't forget to support me in the future," Tang Xin said, extending her hand. "Let's get to know each other officially. My name is Tang Xin, from the technical squadron."

Ning Cheng nodded in greeting. "Ning Cheng, a member of Criminal Investigation Team 2."

After introductions, the police car quickly arrived at the caller's location, a gated community.

The caller, a beautiful girl of 24 or 25 years old, was waiting anxiously in front of her house. Upon seeing the police car, she rushed towards them.

"You are Zheng Yunyun, the one who called the police?" Ning Cheng asked warmly, looking at the woman. "Your grandmother was hacked to death, right?"

"Yes, when I got home this afternoon, I opened the door and found my house had been robbed. My grandmother was hacked to death, blood everywhere, it was so scary!" Zheng Yunyun's body trembled, her face pale with fear, her eyes red with tears. "I was about to collapse, so I ran out and called the police."

"Don't panic, Mu Xiaoyu, calm her down," Ning Cheng instructed, keeping a close eye on Zheng Yunyun.

He activated the system's guilt value analysis on Zheng Yunyun, but found no signs of a spike in guilt after the murder, indicating she was not the murderer.

When Zheng Yunyun had calmed down, Ning Cheng asked her to open the door and let them in.

The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by a scene of utter chaos. The house was in disarray, boxes and cabinets overturned, drawers pulled open, as if it had been ransacked. Crimson blood stained the floor, and an elderly woman with gray hair, about 60 years old, lay lifeless.

Tang Xin immediately began her on-site investigation and preliminary autopsy, while Liu Qi and Chen Yang collected evidence and documented the scene. Mu Xiaoyu took Zheng Yunyun aside to assess the property damage.

As the leader, Ning Cheng walked around the living room and bedrooms, carefully observing every detail. He checked the kitchen, doors, windows, balconies, and storage cabinets, leaving no corner unexamined.

After his thorough inspection, Ning Cheng frowned slightly, suspicion growing in his heart.

The living room and bedrooms clearly showed signs of a burglary. But was it really a burglary followed by murder?

Ning Cheng had examined the doors and windows and found them closed, not open. There were no footprints.

And the cabinets in the room...

Ning Cheng squatted down, staring at the drawer that had only been opened at the top. He shook his head inwardly.

If it had been a professional robber, they would usually start from the bottom of the cabinet drawer. Opening the drawer from the top would block the opening of the drawers below, wasting time and causing unnecessary trouble.

But here, the top drawers were open, while the bottom drawers remained closed.

It was like an amateur robber, completely unprofessional.

Or...

This was a staged burglary!

The purpose was to cover up the real murderer!
