Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 219 is still about Zhang Bai.

After hanging up the phone, Su Miaoyi's expression turned cold.

Chu Xingrou stood beside her and felt a gust of cold wind sweep past.

Su Miaoyi went to Zhuang Yanzheng and told him what she had seen.

Zhuang Yanzheng had just received a message from the laboratory.

They saw the DNA extracted from Liu Shitang's fingernails.

Su Miaoyi looked at the information in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one Yan Cheng had, and said, "It's still Zhang Bai."

"Did you see it?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“Hmm.” Su Miaoyi sat down and recalled the scene she had just witnessed. “It was at the place where we found Liu Shitang’s body. Zhang Bai and Kang Hong were both there at the time.”

"Both of them saw it?"

“Yes,” Su Miaoyi said. “They ate barbecue together in that living room. Liu Shitang drank some alcohol. He wasn’t drunk, but he was a little dizzy and unsteady on his feet. He was clear-headed though.”

Zhuang Yanzheng listened to what she said.

"They must have almost finished eating when Liu Shitang got up and headed towards the bathroom. He had only taken a few steps when he was tackled from behind." Su Miaoyi saw this from Liu Shitang's perspective.

At first, she felt dizzy and fell to the ground, and then she saw Kang Hong's face.

Kang Hong knocked him down.

Zhang Bai remained seated calmly on the sofa, simply watching them.

Kang Hong was already very thin at that time. After knocking Liu Shitang down, he also fell to the ground.

Liu Shitang glared at him, then got up and pounced on Kang Hong.

“Kang Hong was pinned to the ground, his neck gripped by Liu Shitang, and he had no ability to resist.” Su Miaoyi looked at Zhuang Yanzheng. “The fingerprints on the leather strip on Liu Shitang’s shirt should have been left by Kang Hong when he pushed him.”

"Did he say anything?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Liu Shitang said, "I only want this house. I don't want anything else. You guys make so much money. The price of this house is nothing to you. I'll keep quiet after I accept the gift. I will never tell anyone."

"Just as we guessed, Liu Shitang discovered something."

“Yes.” Su Miaoyi continued, “After he finished speaking, Zhang Bai got up and attacked. Liu Shitang resisted and scratched Zhang Bai’s arm with his nails. Then Zhang Bai smashed a wine bottle on his head and Liu Shitang passed out. That’s all I saw.”

"Where is Kang Hong?"

"When Zhang Bai made his move, Kang Hong lay on the ground without moving. It's unclear whether he was scared or genuinely stunned by the choking and couldn't get up."

"I just asked about Kang Hong's situation at the hospital, and the doctor said I could go there tomorrow to try and ask," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "My aunt just called and the neighbors said that the door to the house in the old town area has been opened."

Zhuang Yanzheng's expression sharpened: "Luckily, we moved in early."

“It could also be a thief who saw a newly vacated shop and wanted to go in to see if they had left anything valuable behind,” Su Miaoyi said. “I don’t know the specifics, so I thought I’d go to the old town to check.”

“Okay,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “I’ll contact the local police station, and you can go directly to them.”

"it is good."

Zhuang Yanzheng walked to the desk and handed her the car keys: "Go drive there."

Su Miaoyi took the key.

"Be careful, don't get sleepy." After saying that, Zhuang Yanzheng added, "I think I'll find someone to go with you."

He then went out of the office to make arrangements.

Upon arriving in the old town, we contacted the local police station and went to our accommodation together.

Both the security door and the inner door were open.

Su Miaoyi checked the door lock and found signs of tampering.

My lock-picking skills aren't very good. This method of picking locks is fast, but it can damage the lock, so I left both doors open.

Police officers from the local police station took photos.

Su Miaoyi looked into the room and saw footprints on the floor by the door, illuminated by the survey lamp.

There are too many footprints.

The floor was mopped during the move, but a dust cover was put on afterward. Later, Cheng Yong and Ge Yu stayed at the house for a while. To the naked eye, the floor seemed to be invisible, but when the inspection light shone on it, it was very obvious.

Su Miaoyi made a judgment based on the footprints.

Height, weight, and walking posture can all be used to determine this.

Besides the four of them, there were two unfamiliar shoe prints.

Judging from the size of the shoe print and the shape of the sole, it was a man and a woman.

She took a ruler and measured it, then observed the direction of the two shoe prints.

The man's footprints did not extend further in.

After entering the house, I walked into the living room, then walked east and then west, and then left.

The woman's footprints went further in, reaching the doors of the three bedrooms, then the kitchen, and then she left.

Compared to the cautiousness of men, women's steps are more relaxed and leisurely.

Looking at the woman's footprints, gait, height, and weight, Su Miaoyi realized that she resembled her upstairs neighbor, Aunt Wang.

However, she just went upstairs. Aunt Wang went to the supermarket, made a phone call, and will be back in a little while.

Su Miaoyi and the other police officers searched the room carefully and confirmed that the strange man had left without going inside.

Almost all of their belongings were moved out of the house.

However, none of the furniture was moved; it was covered with dust covers.

Therefore, it can almost be ruled out that he was a thief.

If it's a thief, seeing that no one is home and that the house is covered with a dust cover, the more likely they are to enter the rooms and search them.

They didn't go inside, and there were no signs of searching.

It's coming towards people.

Seeing that no one was around, they left.

Cheng Yong and Ge Yu had already moved out, but Su Miaoyi still felt a chill run through her body.

Today is the fourth day since Kang Hong was arrested, and they came knocking on his door.

They moved so quickly.

If the move was delayed, she now doesn't know where to find her uncle and aunt, and it's not just that they're missing, but they might also...
Su Miaoyi felt waves of fear.

After examining the footprints on the ground, we checked some other areas.

The police collected fingerprints from the door.

There are indeed fingerprints, but judging from their location, they seem to have been left by her own family members when locking and unlocking the door.

Aunt Wang from upstairs returned quickly. After arriving, she first compared the footprints with the fingerprints left on the door.

The stranger's footprints were hers, and there were also her fingerprints on the door.

“I’m close to your aunt. Now that she’s moved away, I have no one to talk to.” Aunt Wang sighed as she spoke. “Today, when I went downstairs, I glanced at your door as usual. Then I saw your door was open, and I thought it was your aunt coming back to get something, so I stood at the door and called out to her.”

"I called out a few times but no one answered, so I went inside. I looked in every room but no one was there. Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat. I thought I had been robbed, so I quickly called your aunt."

Su Miaoyi thanked Aunt Wang, chatted for a few minutes, and then Aunt Wang went back upstairs.

Then they asked other neighbors if they had heard any noises that night.

No one heard it.

Su Miaoyi stood at the door, looking at the empty house.

The fingerprints on the door have been collected, but the rest of the area has nothing but shoe prints.

The investigation took another turn, and that turn also became blocked.

Wearing gloves, Su Miaoyi gripped the edge of the door and stared at the lock, thinking: I wish I could see something through you too.

The thought flashed through her mind, and then everything went black before Su Miaoyi's eyes.
　Let's correct the typos after lunch. See you tonight.
