Chapter 174 Feng Nan's New Ideas
"sorry!"

"That was not what I meant."

Upon hearing what the forensic doctor, Lao Zhang, said, Feng Nan knew that he had misunderstood.

Feng Nan admitted that her words were indeed ambiguous and could easily cause misunderstandings.

Forensic pathologist Lao Zhang must have misunderstood that he was questioning the professionalism of his colleagues at the branch office.

They also misunderstood that they were subtly mocking the forensic doctor from the branch office, and blindly gave the victim's time of death.

Feng Nan quickly apologized and defended herself.

She didn't want to cause any misunderstanding with the forensic doctor, Lao Zhang, because of a single sentence.

"That's not what you meant. What did you mean then?"

"Old Zhang, the forensic doctor, said angrily."

Feng Nan shook her head and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

I had long heard that forensic doctor Zhang loved his profession to the core and would not tolerate anyone slandering it.

Feng Nan hadn't felt anything before.

Now I finally have a deep understanding of it.

"I was just asking when the branch office started checking the surveillance footage."

"Given the situation at the scene, there was simply no way for the suspect to enter."

"There was only one suspected individual, and there were signs that he left the scene by climbing out of a window."

"So I found it very strange, and I had a somewhat immature idea that I wanted to verify."

Just now, Feng Nan had an idea about the case and about the murderer's sudden appearance at the scene.

That's why I asked that question earlier.

Although the result caused a misunderstanding for forensic doctor Lao Zhang, she got the answer she wanted.

This further solidified Feng Nan's resolve.

Perhaps she has already cracked the secret of how the murderer appeared out of nowhere at the scene.

The murderer definitely did not enter the scene through the window and then assault and kill the victim.

It's even possible that the murderer didn't leave the scene through the window.

After all, the victim's room was on the fifth floor, which is quite high for an ordinary person.

Without specific training, it would be impossible for someone to climb from the ground floor to the fifth floor.

It's even more impossible for someone to climb from the fifth floor to the first floor.

Moreover, the victim was a mentally sound adult woman.

Even if she were incredibly foolish, she wouldn't open the window for a strange man climbing into her room in the middle of the night when she was staying alone in a guesthouse.

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, Li Biao and the forensic doctor Lao Zhang were both taken aback.

They all looked at Feng Nan in surprise.

"what idea?"

"You've cracked the secret to the killer's entry into the scene?"

Li Biao and forensic doctor Lao Zhang asked at the same time.

"It's just an idea right now."

"We still need to verify this."

Feng Nan said in a deep voice.

"How to verify?"

Li Biao is a very competent straight man.

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, he immediately asked.

Forensic pathologist Lao Zhang also looked at Feng Nan curiously, waiting for her to continue.

"I need to go to the guesthouse's monitoring room first to check the surveillance video."

Feng Nan did not immediately express her thoughts.

Instead, they kept it a secret for now.

After all, Feng Nan's idea is still just an idea.

It is indeed necessary to go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage to verify this.

If she tells us in advance, it could easily become a joke if we can't find what she wants in the surveillance video.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the monitoring room right away."

Li Biao understood Feng Nan's personality and did not urge her to immediately express her thoughts.

Instead, he immediately called everyone to go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance video.

“I’ll go with you.”

"That's what forensic doctor Zhang said."

By this time, the victim's body had already been placed in a body bag.

Forensic pathologist Lao Zhang was also very curious about Feng Nan's thoughts. He was temporarily out of work.

All that's left is to go back and dissect the corpse.

So we suggested going to the monitoring room together.

Feng Nan nodded: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Du, you two stay here and keep watch."

"Stay vigilant, and don't leave this room until we get back."

Feng Nan smiled mysteriously and gave an instruction to Xiao Xu and Xiao Du.

Then he turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards the guesthouse's monitoring room with Li Biao.

Watching Feng Nan's departing figure, Xiao Xu and Xiao Du looked at each other, completely bewildered.

They had no idea why Feng Nan had specifically instructed them to stay on site.

What's so great about guarding this place?

Is it because they're afraid the murderer will come back and destroy the evidence?
Or--

Were they worried that the victim's body would climb out of the body bag and run away after they left?

However, despite the doubts and confusion,

They followed Feng Nan's instructions and carried out the order to the end.

The two people stood like two gatekeepers, one on the left and one on the right at the entrance of the venue.

Let alone the victim's body, what if it gets up and runs away?

Even if the victim's body really did get up and run away, the two of them could still stuff the body back into a body bag.

We will absolutely not allow any evidence at the scene to disappear.

Feng Nan and her group arrived at the guesthouse's monitoring room.

The guesthouse staff had already been notified.

They waited patiently at the entrance of the monitoring room for a long time.

Upon seeing Feng Nan and the others arrive, they immediately opened the door to the monitoring room.

After Feng Nan and the others entered the monitoring room.

"Xiao Nan, where should we begin our investigation?"

Li Biao personally sat down at the computer and retrieved the surveillance video for Feng Nan.

Feng Nan hesitated for a moment, then did not immediately answer Li Biao.

Instead, he turned to look at the guesthouse staff.

He began by asking, "When did the previous tenant who rented this room before the deceased moved in?"

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, Li Biao and the forensic doctor Lao Zhang were both taken aback.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Do you suspect the murderer was the previous tenant?"

"I can't help but ask," the forensic doctor, Lao Zhang, blurted out instinctively.

Feng Nan smiled but remained silent, offering no reply to the forensic doctor, Lao Zhang.

I simply watched the guesthouse staff silently, waiting for their reply.

"Please wait a moment, I'll have the front desk check."

As he spoke, the guesthouse staff took out their phones and dialed the front desk.

One minute later!
He hung up the phone and looked at Feng Nan: "It was three days ago."

"The previous guest stayed for two consecutive days."

Feng Nan nodded upon hearing the guesthouse staff's reply.

"Although your guesthouse has a front desk, you can also check out online, right?"

Feng Nan then asked.

The guesthouse staff nodded: "Yes, our guesthouse uses a new combination lock for each guest."

"Therefore, it supports online self-service check-out and stay extension."

Feng Nan nodded again; she had expected this all along.

The biggest difference between a guesthouse and a hotel is that guesthouses allow for contactless check-in and check-out.

Many people find that guesthouses are much more convenient than hotels in this respect.

"The previous guest must have checked out and checked in online, right?"

Feng Nan asked again.

The guesthouse staff nodded: "Yes, that's right."

"Basically, every guest who chooses to stay at a homestay checks in and out online."

Snapped--

Feng Nan snapped her fingers: "Very good!"

"Brother Li, let's start the investigation from the last guest who rented this room."
