Chapter 805: Murder Scene (1)

The few of them turned their heads to look. When they saw the scene in the room clearly, they were all shocked at the same time.

In the spacious condominium, several tables and chairs were laid out on the ground. Amongst the mess, a person was lying straight in the middle of the hall. Fresh blood dyed the ground red, indicating that the person in the room had been dead for a long time, beside the figure, there were glass shards scattered on the ground, and the edge of the shards was stained with a lot of bright red blood.

No matter how one looked at it, this scene looked like the scene of a murder case. No wonder that person had cried out in surprise.

Mu Tingfeng almost reflexively reached out to cover Zhao Youlin’s eyes. However, Zhao Youlin firmly pulled his hand off her face and met Mu Tingfeng’s disapproving gaze. She chuckled and said, “Have you forgotten what I used to do?”

Mu Tingfeng furrowed his brows. He was not persuaded by her. “You used to. You’re just my wife now.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. Then, she sighed and compromised. “Call the police.”

Perhaps because Mu Tingfeng had specifically mentioned the Zhao family when he called the police, the police arrived very quickly.

“Ms. Zhao, we meet again.”

Zhao Youlin’s face was full of reluctance. “If it’s possible, I actually don’t want to meet with you.”

Mu Chen smiled and didn’t care too much about it. He led a group of colleagues and rushed into the house.

“The deceased is male, probably in his early twenties. The fatal wounds on his body are the three large wounds caused by the wine bottle on his head. One of them just happened to cut the aorta. The cause of death should be the rapid ischemia of the aorta leading to suffocation. Judging from the degree of stiffness of the deceased’s body, the deceased should have died between 10:00 and 12:00 yesterday.” The female forensic doctor wore gloves as she carefully examined the wounds on Zhao Yifei’s body. She quickly analyzed the cause of death and the time of death of the deceased.

“Between 10:00 and 12:00 last night.” Mu Chen rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. He turned to look at Zhao Youlin, then the female forensic doctor and asked in a low voice, “You were the first witnesses at the scene of the crime. Can you tell us when you found the deceased and why you are here today? Also, what is your relationship with the deceased?”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other. Together, they explained it to him. “We found the deceased not long before you came, which is around 10:00. “As for the relationship between the dead man and us… This man is my third Uncle Shunchang’s son, named Zhao Yifei. You can check on his information yourself. His relationship with us is a little complicated, but you can easily find out if you go and check. As for why we appeared here today and bumped into this crime scene, it was a complete coincidence.”

“Coincidence?” Mu Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard that, as if he was considering whether Zhao Youlin’s words were true.

“That’s right, it’s a coincidence. When you find out about this person’s information, you’ll find out that my grandfather had kicked this person out of the house two months ago. Originally, he was supposed to go back to his mother’s house. Oh, right, this person’s mom has committed some crimes in the past and is still in prison. You should be able to find out about this as well. We came here because we heard that we recently bumped into a person who looked like Zhao Yifei in Shalnork. At that time, we thought it was strange. Why would a person who should have left a long time ago still remain in the city? We thought that we would come here to see the situation. Unexpectedly, we came upon such a scene.”

Zhao Youlin’s explanation was reasonable. Mu Chen recorded the whole incident. He turned to look at the door that Mu Tingfeng had broken. “What’s wrong with this? This door should be broken, right? Was it broken before you guys came, or…”

Zhao Youlin smiled helplessly. “I’m sorry, we broke this door. We had knocked on the door for a long time. There was no movement in the room. Just when we were wondering if someone in the room had gone out for something, my husband suddenly saw blood on the door handle, so he kicked it in a hurry and broke it.”

“So, your husband’s fingerprints should be on the door handle.”

“Yes.”

“What about inside the room? After you opened the door, did you walk into the room?”

“No, when we saw the scene in the room, we got spooked and immediately called you. After that, we waited outside and didn’t go inside.”

Mu Chen nodded and put away the notebook.

At this time, the female medical examiner behind him had already collected a bunch of things from the house and was going to take them back for testing. Among them was the broken glass bottle that was used as the murder weapon.

“Is the deceased the only one living in this house?” Mu Chen turned to look at Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin and asked in a low voice.

Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin shook their heads. “We don’t know that. We might know if we ask the condominium’s proprietor.”

Mu Chen immediately called a policeman to invite the condominium’s proprietor up.

The man had already guessed that something must have happened when he heard the police coming over. However, the scene still shocked him.

“This… this…”

“Sir, are you the property manager of this building?”

“Yes… Yes, I am the property manager of this building. My surname is Li.”

“Then, Mr. Li, is the deceased the only person living in this room?”

Mr. Li looked at the door number and thought for a moment before saying, “No… he wasn’t alone. There should be another girl. She is the girlfriend of the deceased.”

“Girlfriend?” Zhao Youlin and Mu Chen exclaimed at the same time.

Mu Chen subconsciously looked at Zhao Youlin. “Does Ms. Zhao know if Mr. Zhao had a girlfriend before?”

Zhao Youlin shook her head repeatedly. “I’ve never heard of Zhao Yifei having a girlfriend, but it’s also possible that he didn’t tell us. We’re actually… not very familiar with him.”

Mu Chen nodded. He turned around and asked Mr. Li, “Mr. Li, do you know what Mr. Zhao’s girlfriend looks like? Or rather… do you have any more prominent features? If we can contact her now, that would be the best.”

“This…” Mr. Li was a little troubled. “Mr. Zhao’s girlfriend usually appears in black clothes and a hood. I haven’t seen her face directly, so I really don’t know what to say.”

“I see.” Mu Chen frowned. “Did you see who came back with Mr. Zhao yesterday?”

“Well… we really don’t remember. The neighborhood has been renovated these few days. Whether it’s the surveillance cameras or the street lamps, they’re all broken. We’re not sure when Mr. Zhao came back or who he came back with.”
