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

Chapter 453 Further Detailed Investigation

Zhuang Yanzheng played a recording of the interrogation of the KTV owner.

Everybody was watching.

"I really only let people come here to play cards during the Chinese New Year, and I charge them a little money. I haven't done anything else," the owner said. "You can search my KTV; there's absolutely nothing like that. Although I really want to make money, and I'm greedy for money, I would never touch anything that's immoral and destructive to future generations. Even if I have no other money to earn, even if I starve to death, I would never touch that kind of thing."

“My KTV would definitely not allow this kind of thing in. If I find it, I will definitely call the police.”

“We’ve known Jin Tian for over twenty years. Based on my understanding of him, he would never do such a thing. We’ve known each other for over twenty years, and none of us are the kind of people who would touch that kind of thing.”

“We’ve been together the whole time and haven’t noticed anything wrong.”

"When you were playing cards, did he feel unwell or have slowed down?" the police officer from the branch office asked.

"No, it's normal," the boss said. "He won a lot of money last night, he kept winning. We even teased him a bit, saying that he's having good luck at the start of the new year. When we used to play cards together, Jintian lost the most, but this year he's been winning all the time. The only strange thing is that he went through the front door. We never used to go through the front door because there are security cameras, and we were afraid of being caught and reported."

"Didn't you find it strange that he went through the front door? Didn't you call him?" the policeman asked.

"He went to the restroom before leaving, and we left without waiting for him, assuming he would leave through the back door. We all have keys to the back door, and whoever leaves last locks it. I only found out he left through the front door because of what you guys told me. I guess neither the front nor the back door of my shop is locked."

After watching the video, Su Miaoyi looked at what she had written in her notebook while listening to Zhuang Yanzheng speak.

Qin Chengyuan also took a look.

I can't understand a single word.

The enemy took this notebook and studied it for a month or two without figuring out what it contained.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "The people who were playing cards at the KTV last night all said the same thing."

"Could the problem be with the food?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“There were no needle marks on Jin Tian’s body,” Yan Cheng said. “It can only be from drug use.”

Su Miaoyi nodded, then the problem lies more seriously with the food or drinks.

But why is it that everyone else is fine, but only Kaneda is in trouble?

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Yan Cheng, you should continue to investigate the drug levels in Jin Tian's body, the more detailed the better."

"it is good."

"We need to go check on the rest of the people at the KTV. We also need to question those people again. We need to review the existing surveillance footage more carefully. We also need to check if there are any other surveillance cameras," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"Okay," everyone agreed.

"It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year today, everyone has worked hard," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Once the case is solved, we'll make up for the holiday."

"it is good."

"Director Qin, that concludes the case from the early hours of the first day of the lunar new year." Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Qin Chengyuan.

Everyone followed Zhuang Yanzheng's gaze and looked back.

When Chu Xingrou and Qi Feng saw Qin Chengyuan, their eyes widened in surprise.

The pen that Chu Xingrou was twirling flew out and landed at Zhuang Yanzheng's feet.

"You made me work overtime, but you didn't have to resort to underhanded tactics against me, did you?" Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Chu Xingrou quickly stood up: "I didn't, I didn't, Captain Zhuang, I'm sorry."

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Just kidding."

Chu Xingrou didn't dare to sit down again.

Qin Chengyuan said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Our duty is to prevent and combat crime and maintain social order. Such a case during the Spring Festival has caused widespread anxiety. Thank you all for your hard work in solving the case as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Captain Zhuang said that since the case has been solved, everyone will get a make-up holiday," Qin Chengyuan said.

"Yes!"

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng went to the KTV.

Qin Chengyuan did not go home either; he remained at the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Chu Xingrou and Qi Feng stayed behind to continue questioning the people who had played cards with them in the early hours of the first day of the lunar new year.

Upon arriving at the KTV, Su Miaoyi first looked around from the entrance.

"There are so many alleys here." Su Miaoyi looked into the alley.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "There are many alleys, but few surveillance cameras."

The KTV's ground floor is a very small storefront. Once you open the door, there's only one staircase; the ground floor itself isn't very spacious.

They, Zheng Qi, and several other police officers went upstairs.

The KTV is on the second floor.

The top two floors are both like that.

Several people began inspecting the place as soon as they entered.

They continued until they arrived at the room where Jin Tian and his friends were playing cards in the early hours of the first day of the lunar new year, and then they checked it out again.

The branch office already came yesterday.

This is the second time they've investigated.

Leftover pastries, unfinished drinks, leftover fruit, and used cigarettes.

They were all taken back for testing yesterday.

They even took the fruit peels and cigarette butts from the trash can.

The room wasn't exactly clean, but a lot of things had been taken away.

They can only investigate more thoroughly.

They checked the rooms, and Su Miaoyi went to the bathroom to take a look.

Jintian went to the bathroom several times that night, especially before leaving.

Su Miaoyi watched from the bathroom, checking each stall one by one.

There were no needle marks on Jintian's body.

It can only be inhaled.

Su Miaoyi shone the survey lamp on the ground.

There were faint footprints, and judging from their size, they belonged to a man.

There are at least four or five people's footprints.

Most of the footprints were from the doorway to the second and fourth urinals.

But there was also a footprint: I went to the urinal and the innermost cubicle.

Su Miaoyi opened the last cubicle.

It's quite clean; there's nothing there.

She glanced at the bathroom window again.

There was cigarette ash on the windowsill.

Su Miaoyi opened the window and looked out.

This is the second floor.

The bottom is filled with discarded junk.

It's very easy for anyone to come up or go down from here.

Furthermore, the bathroom window is unlocked and can be opened from the outside.

Su Miaoyi looked out the window.

"A discovery?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi pointed to the building across the street, "There's a security camera on the second floor over there. We can check it and see if it's captured anything."

Zhuang Yanzheng also looked down from the window: "Do you think someone will come up from here and leave from here?"

Su Miaoyi nodded and shone her survey lamp down: "There are footprints."

Dust and debris accumulate, making footprints very noticeable.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at it and said, "This footprint is at most size 38."

“And look at that big stride.” Su Miaoyi gestured with her survey lamp. “He went straight from here to here. To be able to do that, he must be quite skilled.”

Zhuang Yanzheng also looked outside: "Let's check that surveillance footage first."

"You go ahead, I'll look around some more."

"it is good."
