Chapter 406: Quite Vicious

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

His words were rather vicious!

However, Bai Muchuan just grunted a laugh coldly as reply.

Cheng Zheng had been unhappy all this while; he would certainly grab this chance to retaliate.

Just to let himself have a chance to vent his displeasure.

Bai Muchuan was nonchalant. “People consider being able to play as the police dog as an honor!”

That’s a superb reply!

Xiang Wan looked at Cheng Zheng’s face that went grim in an instant; she felt as if she was lighting a candle for him in her heart.

Maybe he was a talented man in certain areas, but when it came to arguments... he was no match against Bai Muchuan!

“Captain Bai, Lima mostly stayed in her bedroom and in the workout room!” A detective deduced. “There are a lot of accumulated specks of dust in the living room which means she hardly cleaned the house. The bedroom and workout room, on the other hand, were a little messy, so it’s obvious that she frequently used it...”

Bai Muchuan agreed with that. “Inspect those rooms then and see if there’s anything suspicious!”

Lima’s home was a two-bedroom house.

In it were a living room, a master bedroom, and another bedroom which Lima turned it into a workout room.

Inside the workout room, there were yoga equipment and a stereo system.

Lima majored in vocal arts. Perhaps she must have been practicing here regularly, so she wouldn’t disturb the neighbors—

This was because they had noticed that the soundproofing in this workout room was superbly made.

“The strange smell is more distinctive in this room!” Bai Muchuan sniffed and looked toward Xiang Wan. “Can you smell it?”

Xiang Wan nodded. “Seems like it...”

It was like the common smell inside a roomette on a train or in an enclosed space.

However, she did not feel that it was that distinctive.

“Your sense of smell is so good...” She had praised him sincerely, but he thought she was just teasing him.

He snorted.

And said, “A police dog, huh?”

Xiang Wan replied, “... No! Xiao Tian’s much better than you!”

“Hur!” Bai Muchuan had a half-smile on his face. He wanted to pat her head when he realized that he was wearing gloves. He put down his hand and continued to scrutinize the room.

Cheng Zheng kept quiet and looked through the room seriously.

The other three detectives did the same.

The workout room had a yoga mat in the middle.

Besides the stereo system, there was a wall cabinet on the left.

Cheng Zheng stood before the wall cabinet. “This cabinet is custom-made.”

Bai Muchuan walked over to him and looked. Then he went to the other side of the wall cabinet. “Check if there’s any secret compartment.”

Cheng Zheng remained silent as he turned to look at him.

“Someone emotionally scarred like her,” explained Bai Muchuan, “would be insecure. If there was something private and important, she would hide it in a secret place where none could discover easily...”

Cheng Zheng’s hand quivered.

He looked at Bai Muchuan deeply. “Got it.”

This time, Bai Muchuan remained quiet.

Xiang Wan, who was standing behind them, felt strange somehow.

She was different from Bai Muchuan. She was not that sensitive with her sense of smell, but she was sensitive to emotions.

Both of them got along with each other rather strangely. They cooperated well with each other, yet they would also diss each other. Maybe something happened between them for there was always something left unsaid in their words...

Every time they talked, it seemed that they only said half of what they should say.

Only the two of them knew what those unspoken words were. She felt that they were leaving her out of the picture.

D*rn!

Could it be that these two should be a pair instead?

Because of some unknown reasons, their love turned into hatred... and they ended up like this?

Xiang Wan pouted as she started to let her imaginations run wild with all kinds of stories running through her head.

“Look at this!” At this moment, a detective seemed to have found something.

“Captain Bai, come and look at this. I feel that there’s something strange here.”

It was a wall-mounted mirror. From the looks of it, Lima could have been using it to practice her dancing.

However, when the detective knocked on the mirror, the echo sounded hollow.

“IMaybe there’s a secret passage on the other side?” Cheng Zheng walked over as well to inspect the mirror, but he found nothing they could open. “If this is where she used to store something, there must be a way to open it...”

“Move aside!”

Bai Muchuan was standing behind before gently pushing him a few inches to move aside.

Cheng Zheng looked at the hand on his shoulder before he moved away without saying a word.

Bai Muchuan was now in front of the mirror. He grasped both sides of the mirror with his hands and suddenly moved it upward.

Clack!

The mirror loosened and moved upward for about slightly over 10 centimeters!

It amazed everyone.

So this was a wall mount mirror that had a storage compartment. It was so well camouflaged that they couldn’t detect it at first if they hadn’t knocked on the mirror.

Everyone took two steps back to give Bai Muchuan more space to exert his strength.

Bai Muchuan used his strength to lift the mirror. This time, he took the entire mirror down.

“What is that?”

It was a test tube rack used in chemical laboratories.

There were sealed test tubes placed neatly on the test tube rack.

The test tubes were filled with seemingly thick, milky white-colored liquids.

“What is that?”

“It looked a little like the fermented yogurt—”

While the detectives were talking, Cheng Zheng took one of the sealed test tubes.

He looked at it before pulling the plug and placed it to his nose for a smell. His expression immediately changed to that of shock.

The sudden change in his expression startled everyone. “Captain Cheng, what is that?”

Cheng Zheng’s expression was certainly complicated.

He had some hesitation to reveal the answer.

The corner of his eyes glanced at Xiang Wan’s face. Under everyone’s curious gazes, he uttered the answer slowly.

“Seminal fluid!”

“...”

This sure was a shocking discovery!

...

All the detectives were men.

They need not any forensic equipment to determine for themselves what the test tubes contained.

What they needed to do was to find out who owned this seminal fluid with the help of forensic equipment.

Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions.

As for Xiang Wan, she suddenly blurted in excitement, “I got it!”

“...”

She was the only woman in the house.

She was also Bai Muchuan’s girlfriend.

Therefore, when they talked about this topic, the men had actually toned their voices down by not making it sound too crude.

Yet Xiang Wan behaved as if she had made a new discovery for her face was beaming with excitement. She pointed at the test tube Cheng Zheng was holding. “The DNA found on Cui Ming’s robe,” she said seriously, “might not be Yu Ning or Ye Lun’s bloodstains! It could totally be... from this!”

She pointed at the test tube again, looking at everyone.

Handling a case was a serious and solemn matter.

If the woman comrade did not mind this, all the more the male detectives would not mind.

Everyone ruminated over the matter and discussed amongst themselves. They felt that Xiang Wan’s deduction was reasonable.

“The murderer is a meticulous person. If he knew that Cui Ming’s sleeves had bloodstains prior to killing him, he would not leave it as evidence for us...”

However, it would only be more convincing if the Forensics expert, Cheng Zheng, agreed with her inference.

“Captain Cheng, is there a difference in the DNA found in a blood specimen or sperm specimen?”

“There isn’t,” answered Cheng Zheng affirmatively, “the DNA of a person is the same throughout.”

“That should be it!” Xiang Wan was really thrilled by the “story plots” she had created in her head. “I have a conjecture. Just take it that you’re listening to a story, is that all right?”

“Please say it!”

While everyone continued to inspect the room, Xiang Wan paced slowly about, as though she was a storyteller in the ancient times.

“All these specimens Lima collected should have come from those men whom she had a fling with. As for why she had such a peculiar hobby, that I do not know, but for a hobby like that, I feel that hardly any man would agree to her doing that, right?”

Who would want to have their “item” showcased like some kind of exhibit?

Everyone kept quiet.

Their eyes, however, had shown their approval toward Xiang Wan’s conjecture.

Xiang Wan’s eyes curved at that sight. “Let’s assume that Cui Ming, Yu Ning, and Ye Lun had a sexual relationship with Lima consecutively...” she continued, “for this point, only Yu Ning... did not admit this, but I feel that this is the exact reason why his statement differs from Ye Lun’s statement. Instead of saying the fight between them was because of that reason ‘vying for Xie Wanwan’s screen kiss’, the real reason could be that both of them found out about each other’s relationship with Lima...”

Everyone nodded.

With all these little bits and pieces of clues they had, her analysis did make a lot of sense.

Xiang Wan paused for a while and asked for their opinion.

“Generally, men do care about that, right?”

The expressions on the faces of the detectives became weird again.

Cheng Zheng replied, “From a biological standpoint, when males compete for mating rights, it tends to be bloody and cruel. Similarly, when two men had the same woman, yet they still had to get along with each other in their daily lives, it was easy to get awkward and get into conflicts with each other!”

“But that was just awkwardness and conflicts. Being in this industry, I believe that they must have seen a lot of such matters. Unless one of them fell in love with Lima!” Xiang Wan snorted a laugh. “As for Ye Lun, who admitted openly to his relationship with Lima, the possibility of him falling in love with Lima is very low. Whereas in Yu Ning’s case, who had kept quiet about Lima, the chances are very high that it should be him—”

‘Miss! Your imagination is getting exaggerated!’

Everyone looked at her, not saying a word.

Bai Muchuan lifted his chin. “Continue!”

Xiang Wan nodded. “No matter if I’m right or wrong,” she looked at everyone, “just take it that you’re listening to some story. Ultimately, everything has to be supported with hard evidence...”

“Sure.”

“Abdul has said before that Lima had kept Cui Ming’s pictures in her phone secretly.” Xiang Wan smiled. “There are two reasons why a girl would do that—one is hatred, and the other is love. From what Abdul described, Lima’s feelings for Cui Ming should belong to the latter!”

She continued, “Now, we need to analyze what Cui Ming felt for Lima. Abdul said that Cui Ming took Lima away for about two months before they sent her back home... What had happened during that period, no one knew. Now that both of them are dead, we can’t ascertain that. If we assume he had feelings for her, yet he never looked her up again after that, for someone like Cui Ming, it sounded too unbelievable!”

Xiang Wan took a few steps as she went on. “Consequently, with Abdul’s arrangements, Lima continued to have sexual relationships with many men... Then one day, the film crew of ‘The Grey List’ arrived in Nanmu.”

As she said this, Xiang Wan’s line of sight landed onto those test tubes and revealed an awkward smile.

“If Meng Chi’s DNA is inside one of these, then Meng Chi’s the one who first discovered Lima and let her join the cast. If Meng Chi did not have a fling with her... from how Meng Chi treated Lima that I’ve observed, it should be someone else. Yet Meng Chi actually admitted that he’s the one who found Lima and got her to join the cast. There’s a possibility that he’s taking the rap for someone... could it be that he likes that someone?”

She waved her hand as she continued, “Maybe all of you didn’t watch much gossip news. My cousin, Fang Yuanyuan, used to be a big fan of Yu Ning. During that period, there was a rumor that Yu Ning is a kept man by a business tycoon. That’s why he got the role of the first male lead in ‘The Grey List’. What if, this business tycoon is actually Meng Chi?”
