Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife Chapter 948 - On the Murderer's Trail

Chapter 948: On the Murderer’s Trail

Due to the lack of manpower in the forensics department, the bureau chief borrowed a group of people from the external team. Everyone started working in the middle of the night and began an investigation in the three-bedroom house.

In just a short while, there was a new discovery.

“Captain Tang, is this the mark that you’re looking for, the mark of b.u.t.ton friction?”

At the entrance, the forensic doctor found some suspicious scratches.

Tang Yan bent down to take a look with the flashlight, and then let out a sigh of relief. “This is the first scene. Everyone, don’t destroy anything at the scene.”

“Captain Tang, there’s a new discovery.”

There were footprints in the bathroom.

“Extract physical evidence. Also, test with luminol.”

As long as there was a breakthrough, the possibility of solving the case would be very high.

Everyone worked in the house for another two hours. Finally, all the physical evidence had been collected.

Then, the group left the house. Tang Yan walked at the front and said to the team, “Old Cheng will bring the physical evidence back to the lab for testing. There’ll be a meeting at 7 a.m. tomorrow. The rest of you will rest in s.h.i.+fts.”

“Got it, Captain Tang.”

Song Jiang would never have thought that Tang Yan would find such a large amount of evidence in such a short time. He would not allow him to fool around like he did in Bai Xinyi’s case.

..

At 3 a.m.

Tang Yan drove to the hospital. He thought that Feng Shanshan and the baby would be asleep, but through the window of the ward, Tang Yan saw Feng Shanshan still feeding the baby.

She leaned her head against the wall tiredly. It was obvious that she was exhausted.

No one told him that pregnancy was only the first of many hards.h.i.+ps a mother would face. After giving birth, he thought that he would not torture her anymore. However, this was just the beginning of the torture.

A newborn baby needed to drink milk every few hours. Even if a mother’s milk had increased, she would still pump it out and store it.

The baby was so small. As a mother, she wouldn’t be able to let go of it.

Tang Yan watched for a while before gently pus.h.i.+ng the door open and walking in.

Seeing that Feng Shanshan didn’t show any signs of waking up, he stretched out his hand to support Feng Shanshan’s head.

As for the little thing in her arms, it was like he had forgotten to drink milk when he saw his father appear. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Tang Yan.

When the pain in her chest disappeared. Feng Shanshan opened her eyes with difficulty.

Seeing that Tang Yan was right in front of her, she tried to adjust her posture. “Are you done?”

“I’ve already told the nurse to find a responsible confinement nanny for you. She’ll come to help you tomorrow.” Tang Yan combed Feng Shanshan’s hair and said, “I’ve gained a lot tonight, so I can rest temporarily. I have a meeting at seven tomorrow morning.”

“Then you should sleep.” Feng Shanshan knew that this man hadn’t rested for two days.

He had investigated the case day and night, yet he still remembered the mother and son. Thinking about it carefully, Feng Shanshan didn’t feel good about it either.

“I’m not tired. Let me hold the baby for a while. You should sleep for a bit.” Tang Yan looked at the little guy in Feng Shanshan’s arms.

“You haven’t given it a name yet.”

“Uncle told me to give the baby a name, we have to think about the structure. Let’s call it Yixuan, Tang Yixuan.” Tang Yan carefully took the baby from Feng Shanshan’s arms. That small bundle was the product of him and Feng Shanshan. “You should sleep for a while.”

“I’ll sleep for an hour. Then it’ll be your turn.” Feng Shanshan lay down.

Tang Yan nodded and gently swayed the baby in his arms. He only put the baby down after Feng Shanshan fell asleep.

He placed it between him and Feng Shanshan.

In fact, Feng Shanshan was not really asleep. She secretly opened her eyes and saw Tang Yan leaning against the headboard of the bed. He fell asleep just like that, and he slept very soundly.

He was obviously extremely tired, yet he still had to think about the mother and son.

Thinking about it, Feng Shanshan’s eyes suddenly turned red. Everything was worth it.

..

The next morning, Tang Yan waited until the confinement nanny came before he left.

When he arrived at the station, all the clues found in the house last night had been put together.

The group of people quickly entered the meeting room as if they had been injected with stimulants.

“Captain Tang, according to the test report, the friction marks left on the diatomaceous earth wall were indeed caused by the b.u.t.tons on Lou Zhao’s body. The test results are consistent.” Officer Long was the first to speak. “So, the house is the first crime scene.”

“There, we found a total of three sets of footprints. We compared them with each other. The ones sized 40 match Lou Zhao’s shoe size, while the ones sized 36 match a woman’s. The last shoe size of 42 should be the murderer’s.”

“In addition, we also found the murder weapon in the garbage pile at the scene. A leather belt for men with only the victim’s fingerprints on it.”

“The most important thing is this.” Old Cheng handed an evidence bag to Tang Yan. “This cigarette b.u.t.t was found behind the trash can in the bathroom. We went to find out about the owner of the house. The owner is a woman and doesn’t smoke. Moreover, this cigarette b.u.t.t is fresh. Therefore, we suspect that this may have been left behind by the murderer. The DNA on it is still being tested.”

“Okay, step up the investigation. Old Cheng, go and visit the people around you to find out anything related to the shoe size. See if anyone has seen a man who is about 170 to 180 centimeters tall, weighs about 65 kilograms, and is wearing a mask.

“Xiao Long, continue to lead the team to the crime scene. Take the first scene as the center and see if there are any traces of the murderer around.”

During the meeting, Tang Yan a.s.signed tasks. “I’ll go visit the nearby liquor stores and see if any of the owners remembers someone who bought these cigarettes.”

He believed that as long as there was a direction to investigate, the truth would only get closer and closer.

On this day, several invitations were placed on Sheng Xiao’s desk.

As the end of the year was approaching, there were more and more c.o.c.ktail parties for various chambers of commerce. He would attend a few of his friends’ parties, and the Song family might also attend.

With this in mind, Sheng Xiao stopped what he was doing and called Tang Yan to inquire about his progress. “How’s it going?”

“We’re on the murderer’s trail.”

“Let me know if you need any help.”

Sheng Xiao was helping the Lou family settle down. Since Lou Zhao was no longer around, Lou Zichen still needed some time to get used to things. However, he also understood the fierce gaze the Song family had on Lou Zichen.

If the Song family wanted to eradicate the root of the problem, then the killer who killed Lou Zhao might commit another crime and take Lou Zichen’s life.

Hence, Sheng Xiao had people follow Lou Zichen around.

In the evening, Sheng Xiao attended his friend’s party. He did not bring any female companions with him. During the party, he saw Song Bozhi.

After a short hour, he bade farewell to his friend and prepared to go home to accompany the little one at home. However, Song Bozhi stopped him.
