Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 506 - 249 On-Site Restoration_2

Chapter 506: Chapter 249 On-Site Restoration_2
In the panic, the woman bumped into the TV cabinet, and was then pinned to the ground with a steel rod by the attacker, which was enough to take half her life, leaving little chance of survival.
Luo Fei held his eyebrow, his gaze becoming gloomy.
"No, still not right..."
"If it really happened like that, then the steel rod wasn’t brought in by the attacker, because if the steel rod was the murder weapon, the man would be the first to die. Why was it used on the woman in the end?"
A headache started to surge, and within this cramped space, Luo Fei couldn’t quite grasp it.
No matter how he tried to reconstruct the scene, he simply couldn’t arrive at the optimal solution. It seemed he must have overlooked something.
Yes! That’s it, rust!
Luo Fei suddenly remembered seeing some rust on the steel rod when he first arrived at the scene.
If there was a similar smell in the room, then it proved that the steel rod was originally kept in the house.
That was a power hidden deep within his genetic makeup.
A detective-level sense of smell! No detail escapes his investigation.
After a round of searching, Luo Fei walked into the kitchen and found some pale yellow water rust marks on the floor near the refrigerator, possibly left by the steel rod.
As expected... there’s no mention of suspects from a construction site.
All the murder weapons came from the deceased’s home!
This generally clarifies the sequence of events.
During the kitchen fight, the steel rod fell to the ground, so after the knife killed the man, the perpetrator grabbed the steel rod to deliver a heavy blow to the woman, followed by a series of fierce stabs beneath her ribs.
Silencing? No need for that, at this point all that’s needed is to flee.
The bleeding caused by the steel rod piercing through was significant, ensuring this couple couldn’t survive.
So the knife wounds could only be a vent of anger...
Regarding why the knife was stabbed back into the man’s other side, it might have been an impulsive decision, or intentional, it’s hard to say.
"Now that leaves the motive for the crime."
Luo Fei stood up and murmured as he walked outside. Although he had analyzed the sequence of the killings and what the perpetrator did, the motive was still the most challenging.
As he reached the hallway, he saw a few police officers inquiring the neighbors not far away.
This community has four corridors with eight households, each corridor with four homes.
The neighbors from the other three households were being investigated at the moment, all peering anxiously this way, evidently deeply disturbed.
Luo Fei expressed understanding, since such a severe murder incident occurred within their community.
From their mouths, he heard about a drastically different couple.
The man named Hua Guoyu, the woman named Meng Ling.
"Oh, this young couple, they’re really nice, just not good-tempered. They previously clashed with others just because of their pursuit of quality of life. Several deliverymen were yelled at."
"Yes, that’s true. That young guy is alright, but Xiaomeng is truly irritable. She often sarcastically argues with me about hallway garbage and placing things."
"And there’s another matter. Xiaomeng often looks down on the community’s sanitation workers, security guards, property staff... She’s criticized them before, which makes it quite awkward."
Their reputation among the neighborhood was not good.
Especially Meng Ling, she couldn’t even show the most basic respect, let alone kindness, leaving people helpless.
Luo Fei suddenly pulled over a middle-aged woman nearby.
"Auntie, may I ask you something? Is there anyone among the community workers who has had major conflicts with them? It’s crucial for us. Please think carefully."
The woman took a serious moment to ponder, seeming to recall something but unsure of how to express it.
"That story goes back to the beginning, they’ve been living here for two years."
"When they first moved in, a security guard helped them. At that time, he sent up things and helped tidy the house. I happened to return from grocery shopping, passing by their door as the security guard was about to head downstairs."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman’s eyes became angry.
"The door was half open, and the security guard hadn’t left yet. Inside, Xiaomeng was discussing with her boyfriend, making complaints about dirtying the floor or messing up their home..."
"Ah, I couldn’t bear it at that time, but the security guard had already left."
"I later saw them in the community several times, and Xiaomeng seemed to treat him poorly, either mocking or disparaging."
"Officer, you know the security guards work hard to keep the community safe, and she just causes trouble."
"Parking anywhere, placing things randomly... Her bag was left at the security booth and taken home by her husband, and she accused the guard of taking it, threatening complaints with ridicule and insults, putting people in difficult positions."
Luo Fei listened, furrowing his brow.
This indeed could be considered misconduct! In such a high-end community, displaying such low character was simply appalling.
"Auntie, do you know what that security guard’s name is?"
"I’m indeed quite clear on that; I’ve heard the security captain call him Xiaoliu."
"Alright, I got it. Thank you for your cooperation."
Luo Fei prepared to leave after speaking.
The woman glanced again at the crime scene, shaking her head with a sigh, pondering both the deceased and their wrongful deeds.
Liao Xingyu, Zhou Fan, and Li Jun all gathered around, discussing what had just happened. Through the accounts of other residents, they too gained a general understanding of the deceased.
However, because there wasn’t much interaction among them, their knowledge was limited.
"If that’s really the case, the motive would be set."
Luo Fei nodded thoughtfully.
Liao Xingyu suggested.
"Let’s head back for now. If we can’t find the murderer, we can wait."
"We can’t wait!"
Zhou Fan interrupted him.
"We have no idea how many more people this killer might have antagonized or if he has a psychological lust for killing. It’s not safe to leave him unchecked here. We must find him quickly."
"Right, if we can’t find him, we won’t go home tonight!"
Liao Xingyu and the others nodded in agreement.
Seeing everyone ready, Luo Fei smiled.
"No need to exaggerate, I have a very fitting conjecture."
"Once a person commits a crime and plans to flee, he doesn’t want to be exposed. Such individuals are bound to maintain their professional identity; acting suspiciously would draw others’ attention."
The crowd nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright, then I can tell you that the primary suspect currently lies with the security guard of the community."
"Delivery workers, milkmen, these do not account for all the clues, only the security guard!"
"There are three clues!"
"First, when I went down the safety corridor, I found footprints on a window ledge on the first floor. Though the print was blurred, it was indeed high boots, a part of the security uniform as required by Jingui Garden’s property management."
"Second, only the security guards know the escape routes, aware that leaving through the safety corridor avoids capture by the rear surveillance, something those delivery personnel wouldn’t know."
"Third, and most crucial, the motive for the crime."
With these words, Zhao Donglai immediately reacted.
"Luo Fei, are you suggesting that because the deceased had poor relations with community workers before their death, it led to retaliation?"
"Would minor conflicts between property owners and guards escalate to the point of murder?"
"It seems unlikely..."
In their hesitation, Luo Fei suddenly spoke.
"When there are no other possibilities, even the most unbelievable reason becomes the only explanation."
This statement instantly enlightened the others; the rationale, although blunt, was indeed logical and stood up to scrutiny.
"Let’s go to the security office!"
