Chapter 4
The residential area where the missing person lived was one of the more upscale residential areas in Lian City.
Chen Yan and Old Liu walked around and found that apart from the stairs and the basement entrance, surveillance cameras covered the other places.
The residential area had two resident exits and one vehicle exit, and the surveillance cameras were all high-definition cameras.
Even the pores of those captured by these cameras could be seen clearly when the images were magnified.
Moreover, the footage was set to be archived for a month, and there had been no malfunctions or maintenance recently.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for the missing person to hide from the surveillance cameras and disappear in the residential area.
As for climbing the wall?
Hehe, let alone the fact that the walls around the residential area were three meters high and that the missing person simply couldn’t have climbed without the help of tools, even if she could, the electrified wire netting on top was not a decoration. The slightest touch would notify the police.
The last scene of the missing person that was captured by the surveillance camera on the morning of the 10th was the scene of the missing person returning home from the garage.
Building 8, Unit 2, Room 301.
“Hello, Mr. Liang. I’m Liu Qingshan, from the second search and arrest unit of the Lian City’s Investigation Brigade,” Liu Qingshan took out his ID at the door and said, “Today, I’m mainly here to ask you about your wife’s situation.”
Liang Wenyuan who had opened the door had a pale face and listless eyes as well as an unshaved beard, “Hello, Officer Liu. Is there still no news of my wife?”
Chen Yan, who was behind Liu Qingshan, had been paying attention to Liang Wenyuan’s expression.
His eyes were sunken, his face was pale, his voice was weak, and his hair was greasy.
It was quite apparent that he had not rested well these two days and was fatigued.
[Ding! The Strongest Police Simulation System has issued a mission.]
[Solve Zhang Jingya’s disappearance in a day. The reward for completing the mission is the activation of the visual gene. Failure or exceeding the deadline will result in the cancellation of the mission reward.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTwo notifications sounded in Chen Yan’s mind.
Activation of the visual gene?
“The reward is not bad, but the deadline of one day to solve the case is a little tight…”
Liu Qingshan nodded slightly and said with a heavy tone, “Mr. Liang, although we don’t have too many clues yet, we have already started to compare the footage with what we have in the National Sky-eye System. Please wait patiently.”
Liang Wenyuan’s lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
“Mr. Liang… can we go in and talk?”
“Oh, oh, yes, I’m sorry, so sorry. Please come in, please.”
Liang Wenyuan’s home was huge. The living room alone was about a hundred square meters.
The decoration was also very luxurious. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was magnificent.
However, it was slightly messy, and there were quite some stains on the ground.
“Officers, the house has not been cleaned recently, so it’s a little messy. Please don’t mind it.”
Liu Qingshan waved his hand. Of course, he wouldn’t mind.
It would be weird if the guy still had the time to clean up the house after losing his newlywed wife.
“Mr. Liang, does your wife have any good friends in the city?” Liu Qingshan sat on the sofa as he asked for some information while Chen Yan was recording.
While recording, Chen Yan was also looking around. At the same time, he activated the olfactory gene.
This was a missing person’s person, so by activating his olfactory gene, he would be able to distinguish various scents. With that, perhaps he could find some clues through the analysis of scents.
Liang Wenyuan’s home was a large penthouse. The large living room was spacious and bright. In the northwest corner, there was a transparent glass room.
Inside, there were some medical charts, two human skeletons, and many books on the wall.
All kinds of scents assailed his nostrils. Chen Yan frowned slightly and analyzed them one by one.
Three scents were the strongest, more specifically the body scents of Liang Wenyuan, Liu Qingshan, and Chen Yan himself.
In addition, there were four similar scents that were slightly faint. Chen Yan had an impression of them such that they were the body scents of four of his colleagues in the search and arrest unit.
Then, there were two relatively faint body scents. One of them was also on Liang Wenyuan’s body, so it should be the body scent of the missing person, Zhang Jingya.
As for the last body scent, was it from a guest? Chen Yan was not sure.
Apart from the nine body scents, there was another faint scent that smelled like a pet dog, but it was almost just a whiff.
Then, there was a faint smell of blood.
Blood?
Chen Yan was surprised. Where did the smell of blood come from?
Finally, there was a faint fragrance.
It was especially faint. Even with Chen Yan’s olfactory gene activated, it was still somewhat uncatchable.
However, it was this inaudible fragrance that made Chen Yan’s heart tremble!
…
After half an hour, Liu Qingshan finished his questioning.
He turned his head to look at Chen Yan, “Xiao Chen, do you have anything else to ask?”
Chen Yan closed his notebook and nodded at Liu Qingshan.
Through his olfactory analysis, he had found quite some clues.
However, when Liu Qingshan was asking questions, he would not interrupt.
Now that he had gotten Liu Qingshan’s permission, Chen Yan looked at Liang Wenyuan, “Mr. Liang, you have a pet dog at home?”
Liang Wenyuan was slightly stunned, “How did officer Chen know?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiu Qingshan was also quite surprised. He did not find any traces of a dog at Liang Wenyuan’s house.
“Mr. Liang, my nose is more sensitive,” Chen Yan smiled and continued, “But your pet doesn’t seem to be indoors, right?”
The surprise on Liang Wenyuan’s face as he looked at Chen Yan got even heavier, “Officer Chen is right. My wife likes dogs, but she thinks they’re dirty too, so she keeps them on the balcony.”
“Is it convenient for me to take a look?”
“No problem!”
Sure enough, on the balcony of a bedroom, there was a doghouse. A fat golden retriever was lazily basking in the sun.
Chen Yan wrinkled his nose and frowned.
Near the doghouse, other than the smell of animals, the fragrance that he had caught a waft of seemed to be getting stronger.
However, under the cover of the big golden retriever’s odor, ordinary people couldn’t smell it at all.
“Have there been many who were here at Mr. Liang’s house recently?”
“Oh, not really,” Liang Wenyuan closed the glass door to the balcony, “A total of four police officers came yesterday and the day before yesterday. Including the two of you, there has been no one else.”
“That means, including us, there have been nine people who have been in your house recently, including you and your wife? You haven’t invited a cleaner or a friend over?”
Although Liang Wenyuan found Chen Yan’s question a little strange, he still answered, “I can guarantee not. My wife doesn’t work. She cleans the house by herself, so we’ve never hired a housekeeper. Moreover, our neighborhood is very strict. The delivery guy can only leave the food at the entrance and is not allowed to enter the neighborhood. Even if a friend comes to visit, they have to register before entering the neighborhood.”
After listening to Liang Wenyuan’s explanation, Chen Yan nodded and wrinkled his nose again.
Then, he took out the silver handcuffs that he always carried with him.
“In that case… Liang Wenyuan, lean against the wall and hug your head with your hands?”
Huh?
“Officer… Officer Chen!” Liang Wenyuan looked at Chen Yan with a shocked and incredulous expression, “What did you say just now? Officer Liu, what does Officer Chen Mean?”
“What do I mean?” Chen Yan sneered. He swung the handcuffs and cuffed Liang Wenyuan’s left wrist, “It means that you’re under arrest!”
Liu Qingshan, “…”
Was this kid Chen Yan crazy?
Yesterday, he arrested his blind date, today, he arrested the person who filed the case.
Would he be arresting him tomorrow?
