A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

Liu Yuanshan's face darkened instantly, and he glared fiercely at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng shrank back, immediately straightened up from the wall, and instinctively brought his heels together, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, obediently taking a step back and shutting his mouth.

(Oh no, I forgot the old man's rules.)

Qi Feng let out a silent wail.

He knew that his master wasn't angry that he interrupted, but rather that he was angry at his "unprofessional" attitude.

Liu Yuanshan believed in evidence throughout his life, and any conclusion must be based on a solid chain of evidence.

In Liu Yuanshan's view, Qi Feng's offhand remarks, such a narrow definition of the suspect's height and weight, and his assertion that the cases could be combined, demonstrate a lack of rigor in criminal investigation work!

Seeing the atmosphere freeze, Fan Liang, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, became anxious.

He didn't care about being rigorous or not; he just wanted clues!

"Hey, Mr. Liu, don't be angry." Fan Liang quickly smoothed things over, looking at Qi Feng with eager eyes, "Comrade Qi, speak up if you have any discoveries, don't be afraid of being wrong! There are so many of us, let's analyze and verify together!"

Liu Yuanshan glared at Qi Feng again, snorted through his nose, and said irritably, "What are you looking at me for! Speak!"

"Alright!"

Having received the pardon, Qi Feng cleared his throat and said rapidly, "This villa is located at the northernmost edge of the community. Outside the wall is a hillside with a small drop, making it very easy to climb over. The community's surveillance cameras are all installed on the main road. Because of the emphasis on privacy, the small garden of the owner's home on the north side is an absolute blind spot for surveillance."

"I just took a walk around the backyard. There's a small side door in the villa's kitchen that leads directly to the north garden. Because the garden has an automatic irrigation system, the soil was very moist, and there were two sets of very clear footprints. Judging from the depth, stride, and pattern of the footprints, they highly match the footprints found at the scene of the August 8.15th case. Therefore, we can merge the cases directly."

Qi Feng finished speaking in one breath, and the entire corridor fell silent.

Fan Liang slapped his thigh excitedly: "Great! That's wonderful! Little Qi, no, Comrade Qi Feng, you're truly our lucky star!"

"Don't flatter him yet." Liu Yuanshan interrupted Fan Liang's praise, his face still stern. "Xiao Fan, immediately arrange for forensic experts to go over there, collect the footprints in the garden, and compare them with the footprints from the 8.15 case. Report the results to me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Fan Liang immediately turned around and made the arrangements.

"Mr. Liu, why don't you go to the guesthouse to rest for a while? I'll keep an eye on things here," Fan Liang said politely to Liu Yuanshan after arranging for his men.

Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and glanced into the study.

"No need. I'm afraid that if I leave, no one will be able to control that mischievous monkey!"

Following his gaze, everyone saw that Qi Feng had clumsily put on shoe covers at some point and was sneaking into the crime scene, the bloody study.

At this moment, a forensic doctor is preparing to put the victim's body into a body bag.

"Hey, brother, please wait a moment." Qi Feng reached out to stop him as soon as he entered the room.

"I'm not the eldest brother, I'm the eldest sister!"

The forensic doctor who was moving the body suddenly pulled off his mask, revealing a pretty face with delicate features.

Qi Feng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The "big sister" in front of me is estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall, and her large white protective suit can't hide her biceps that are comparable to those of a bodybuilder.

When she exerted force to lift the body just now, her white coat was stretched taut!

Who would have thought she was a sweet-looking young lady!

"Ah... Miss." Qi Feng, with his survival instincts kicking in, blurted out before he could think, "Can I take a look?"

"See?" The female forensic doctor was pleased to be called "Miss" by Qi Feng and readily made way for him.

Qi Feng clumsily put on gloves, pulled a pair of silver tweezers from his pocket, and was about to reach them into the bloody hole in the deceased's chest.

"Hey! Wait! Use this!" The female forensic doctor frowned as she looked at the pair of tweezers that Qi Feng had pulled out of nowhere and immediately stopped him.

"It's clean!" Qi Feng quickly explained. To prove its cleanliness, he made a move that left everyone speechless—he put the tip of the tweezers into his mouth and quickly "slurped" it.

"Huh...!"

Lin Haitang, who was outside the door, felt a wave of nausea and almost vomited on the spot.

"Use mine!" The female forensic pathologist's tone turned serious as she handed over a pair of sterile, professionally packaged long-handled forceps.

Although Qi Feng felt she was making a mountain out of a molehill, he still accepted it.

With his left hand, he pried open the edge of the wound in the deceased's chest cavity, and with his right hand, he used long tweezers to probe inside, stirring and groping around.

A few minutes passed, and with so many people watching him, Qi Feng's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

"Oh shit."

He muttered something in annoyance, threw the tweezers aside, and actually intended to reach in with his bare hands.

"Hey! Stop!" the female forensic doctor shouted again.

Seeing the questioning look in Qi Feng's eyes, the female forensic doctor asked, "Did you find something deep inside the wound that you couldn't remove with tweezers?"

"Mmm." Qi Feng nodded honestly.

"Move aside! I'll do it!" The female forensic doctor shoved Qi Feng aside, her tone leaving no room for argument. "Don't you dare tamper with my body!"

Your corpse?

Qi Feng was taken aback by this domineering statement and could only mutter a few words of complaint.

The female forensic doctor switched to a more delicate hemostat, and with professional and steady technique, she pulled out a knife tip, no bigger than a fingernail, from deep inside the wound in less than a minute.

After carefully placing the knife tip into the evidence bag, the female forensic doctor turned around, her large, bright eyes looking at Qi Feng: "Young man, you have a sharp eye! Interested in joining our forensic department? I'll personally mentor you!"

She finds this younger brother more and more pleasing to the eye; he's sweet-talking, handsome, and has good eyesight.

Most importantly, that action of licking the tweezers with his mouth just now was practically tailor-made for the forensic profession!

If it were any other ordinary young police officer, he would be considered to have a strong mentality by not fainting from vomiting at this point.

"Miss, although you're very beautiful and your figure is... amazing!" Qi Feng carefully chose his words, "But! My master is right here. I don't think it's appropriate for you to poach her like this."

"Hehe, you have such a sweet tongue. I was just kidding with you." The female forensic doctor chuckled, patting Qi Feng's shoulder. "Come visit me in the morgue anytime. I have lots of fun things there."

After saying that, she directed her men to pack the body up and carry it out.

"Alright, still looking? I didn't expect you to like this one?" Lin Haitang couldn't help but walk over and say sourly after seeing that the female forensic doctor had left but Qi Feng was still craning his neck to look outside.

"You don't understand!" Qi Feng said with longing. "The muscles on this young lady's body are what so many men dream of!"

"Stop calling her 'Miss'!" Fan Liang, who was standing nearby, was a little excited and joined the conversation. "Forensic Doctor Yan is forty-six years old this year. She's old enough to be your aunt, not 'Miss'!"

Qi Feng's expression froze instantly.

"Hehe, you guys go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me, I'll just wander around the room a bit more." He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, noticing the teasing looks he was getting.

"Stop showing off and get to work!"

Liu Yuanshan's voice came through. Although he was scolding, there was a hint of unconcealed smile and pride on his serious face.

"Yes, Master!"

Qi Feng responded, then ignored everyone and turned to walk back into the study.

He took a deep breath and silently recited the mantra.

"My eyes are the ruler, open!"
