Chapter 192 This place is not safe
"It's nothing, something suddenly came up at home and we had to go back. We're really sorry to have bothered you. We'll offer you two free services next time as an apology," Deng Xiuzhen said, telling a white lie to avoid worrying the old woman.
As Deng Xiuzhen talked to the old woman, Tian Guoqiang stood by the door, looking around the room.
Suddenly his phone vibrated in his pocket, and he turned around to answer it.
"Director Tian, we've made a discovery!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Tian Guoqiang replied and quickly walked out.
Upon arriving at an abandoned house, a foul odor wafted over, almost suffocating one.
The sound of retching could be heard from the room from time to time.
When Tian Guoqiang went inside, he saw three police officers bent over and retching.
"What are you doing? What happened? Why are you acting like this?" asked Yun Qi, the director of Xijie Police Station, who came in with Tian Guoqiang.
“A head! Ugh! We saw a head. Ugh, ugh, ugh!” a policeman replied, but before he could finish speaking, he started gagging again.
"So what if someone's head is dead? You've been police officers for so many years, and you're acting like this because of one dead head? You're so pathetic!" Yun Qi criticized.
"Where is it?" Tian Guoqiang quickly scanned the room. He didn't think that an ordinary human head would make several police officers react like this.
“It’s in the kitchen, I’ll show you.” Another police officer led them toward the kitchen.
There was dust in the room, but much less than in other abandoned houses.
Aside from the stench, the house was actually quite tidy.
The kitchen was the same; the stove was clean and tidy, as if it had been carefully organized.
Pots and pans were neatly arranged, and there was a large pressure cooker on the gas stove.
The police officer pointed to the pressure cooker and the refrigerator, then turned around and started gagging again.
"Look at how pathetic you all are!" Yun Qi glared at him disapprovingly. He walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and a strong, rotten smell hit him.
Even though the two were mentally prepared, they were still so overwhelmed by the fumes that they covered their mouths and noses, which were covered by masks, with their hands.
The refrigerator contained several bags of meat, which were already rotting and infested with maggots.
After calming down, Yun Qi opened the pressure cooker lid, and a human head, boiled under the pressure, was revealed. The strong visual impact sent chills down their spines and made their chests churn...
The forensic doctor arrived quickly, removed the meat from the refrigerator, and found that the meat appeared to be from human limbs, with a bag containing a pair of palms.
Although the flesh was rotten, the fingernails and finger bones confirmed that it was a woman's hand.
Based on Liu Youzhen's disappearance, Tian Guoqiang arranged for people to collect body parts and conduct DNA testing on Liu Youzhen's daughter.
They continued their on-site investigation.
The site had been cleaned up, but some greasy substance was found in the sewer, which appeared to be pieces of cooked meat that had blocked the sewer.
Several blurry fingerprints were extracted from the door frame, the pressure cooker, and the refrigerator.
The most valuable find was four clear fingerprints extracted from the bottom of a small stool in the corner of the living room.
I found a cigarette butt outside the window. There was also some ashes on the windowsill.
The bathroom was cleaner than the rest of the room, but after the reagent was sprayed, it was covered in a shocking bright blue stain that reflected the blood.
Back in the old man's room, Deng Xiuzhen had already cleaned the house for him and even cooked him some noodles.
Upon seeing Tian Guoqiang, Deng Xiuzhen quickly said goodbye to the old man.
Upon exiting, Deng Xiuzhen noticed the police officers were leaving. She whispered, "How did it go? Did they find anything?"
Yun Qi glanced at Deng Xiuzhen and frowned.
Tian Guoqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, she's reliable. She's just worried about her husband and her company's employees."
After a pause, Tian Guoqiang said to Deng Xiuzhen, "Why don't we take you home first? Don't come to this place for now; it's not safe."
"No, I'm not going back! Qin Yanlin hasn't been found yet!" Deng Xiuzhen became anxious as she watched the police leave.
She suggested they search, partly because the smell reminded her of the dismemberment case.
Secondly, they wanted to find Qin Yanlin's whereabouts, or even just some clues, through a thorough search.
Tian Guoqiang glanced at Yun Qi.
Yun Qi seemed oblivious to the look in his eyes and said, "Director Tian, please try to persuade her not to interfere with our investigation. I'll go and meet with those people."
Yunqi turned and left.
"Liu Youzhen is most likely murdered. Human tissue was found in a pressure cooker and refrigerator in a house. DNA testing has been arranged. What about you? Have you found anything?" Tian Guoqiang asked.
"How did you know?" Deng Xiuzhen asked in surprise.
"I'm a seasoned veteran police officer. Although I don't have as many cases to learn from as you, I have solid criminal investigation experience and I'm good at observation and analysis."
"Seeing you rush to the old man's place, and your eyes darting around, it's obvious you have an ulterior motive," Tian Guoqiang said with a feigned snort.
"That's right, you're Director Tian, the best policeman." Deng Xiuzhen smiled and continued, "Did you also notice the problem?"
"Yes, that old woman does have a problem. She said she can't hear or see clearly. But when I walked to the door earlier, she clearly made a movement to listen for sounds."
Although things quickly returned to normal, my keen observation skills prevented me from missing anything. Later, my phone vibrated, and I took it out to answer a call.
"You didn't notice, but she glanced this way." Tian Guoqiang said, then asked, "Do you also think there's something wrong with her? What did you notice?"
Deng Xiuzhen thought for a moment and replied: "There are two doubts: First, when the elderly person hired someone to do housekeeping, the information they provided indicated that they had children, a retirement pension, and that their children were very filial."
But this place is so desolate. If it's really as she says, why is she still living here? Why doesn't she move away?
Let alone being nostalgic, if she could take care of herself, I might believe her a little, but is this appropriate for her situation?
Secondly, I noticed that the elderly woman's bedside table had been moved. That table was quite heavy; I couldn't move it by myself. How could she, an elderly woman with mobility issues, possibly move it?
"You suspect someone is helping her?" Tian Guoqiang became serious.
"Hmm, I have a gut feeling that someone is helping her, and she must be hiding something. Besides, Qin Yanlin was working in the backyard when he just disappeared."
That Li guy just said they couldn't find Qin Yanlin.
At the time, Li Gang didn't know I could hear him, and he had no intention of letting me go. There was no need for him to tell that lie.
Therefore, Qin Yanlin was definitely not arrested by them. But Qin Yanlin disappeared, and right here. It must be related to the old man.
"Hmm, your analysis makes a lot of sense!" Tian Guoqiang gave a thumbs up and lowered his voice a little more, saying, "I've already applied, and the higher-ups have sent people from the special police team."
"It's too dangerous here, and if you stay, you might actually get in our way. You should go back and get better. Come only if the old lady calls; don't come if she doesn't call, so she won't get suspicious," Tian Guoqiang explained patiently.
