Chapter 28: Even Cong Ge Became a Bootlicker
For a whole hour, Xiao Yu kept investigating the crime scene.
The sixth floor, the attic, he didn’t miss a single corner.
But, nothing was found…
Impossible!
Xiao Yu frowned, finally standing in front of the living room window.
With his case-solving experience from his previous life, as long as the killer left any trace.
It’s rare for him not to notice it.
But at this crime scene, he couldn’t find any traces of a ‘fifth person’ entering.
That’s right, if there was another killer.
Besides the family of three and the suspect, there must be a fifth person who entered!
Is this scientific?
If it’s not, then it’s too terrifying… Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched.
But…
Just because ordinary people can’t find traces doesn’t mean I can’t.
‘Falcon’s Eye’… activate!
In an instant.
Xiao Yu’s eyes changed.
His pupils rapidly dilated and contracted, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
His vision changed.
The world changed too.
It was as if Xiao Yu opened a new world; everything he saw became different.
He could clearly see the dust particles on the floor, the hair strands left on the sofa, and some things that he couldn’t see before…
With ‘Falcon’s Eye’ activated, Xiao Yu re-examined the scene.
Finally, he stood in front of the attic’s floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes fixed on the sliding door handle.
He stared at a spot that was very close in color to the white floor-to-ceiling window but slightly different in shade…
A spot!
Xiao Yu squatted down, his eyes moving closer to the spot.
His mouth slowly curled up.
It was as if lightning struck his mind, clearing all the fog.
So, this is how you entered the victims’ home?!
***
In less than half an hour, the whole task force arrived, their expressions heavy and serious as they looked at Xiao Yu.
“Did you bring it?” Xiao Yu asked Niu Peng.
“Yeah.”
Niu Peng nodded, handing Xiao Yu a tool kit.
Opening the tool kit, it contained disposable rubber gloves and a set of forensic tools.
Putting on the gloves, Xiao Yu took out a small pair of tweezers and returned to the sliding door.
Then, he extended the tweezers to the odd ‘spot’ on the door.
The tweezers’ tips landed on the spot, Xiao Yu gently pinched and slowly pulled.
A small white plastic strip, over an inch long, was pulled out…
Everyone: ???
This is the clue you mentioned?
Is this why you called us here?
Everyone’s gaze at Xiao Yu became strange, feeling they were being toyed with.
Was Xiao Yu messing with them?
No, he casually tossed the tweezers and plastic strip aside.
Squatting down, he moved his eyes close to the… small hole in the sliding door.
In his previous life, Xiao Yu handled a strange home burglary case.
Normally, a small case like that wouldn’t need his involvement.
But that small case turned into a big case.
A thief committed over thirty burglaries in two months, isn’t that scary?
On average, a burglary every two days.
Because the case involved a huge amount of money, many investigative units couldn’t solve it, and it was finally handed to him.
Why couldn’t they solve it?
Isn’t it just home burglary?
The problem was, before catching the thief, no one knew how he entered the victims’ homes, isn’t that magical?
Because many victims’ homes were tightly locked even when no one was home.
The doors showed no signs of tampering or unlocking, yet things were missing!
So how did the thief get in?
A steel wire and a hand drill!
The thief first used the hand drill to drill a small hole in the victims’ floor-to-ceiling window door.
Then used a steel wire to easily open the door and window, entering to steal.
The most ruthless thing about this thief was that after stealing, he cleaned all his traces and restored the doors and windows to their original state.
Lastly, he used a plastic strip of the same color to plug the drilled hole, leaving no trace.
It took Xiao Yu half a month to solve the serial home burglary case, making him laugh and cry.
When he caught the thief, he gave a thumbs up and said: Impressive!
Xiao Yu didn’t expect that in this world after transmigrating, someone would use the same method for a home invasion crime.
Standing up, he glanced at his task force colleagues and found them all bewildered.
With your understanding, even if I explain, you wouldn’t get it.
So, continue being confused!
Next, Xiao Yu took out a coil of steel wire from the tool kit and gave a live demonstration to the task force members.
When everyone saw Xiao Yu using only the small hole in the sliding door and a steel wire to open the locked door.
Everyone’s face showed shock.
Not because of Xiao Yu’s lock-picking skills.
But because Xiao Yu was showing them how the real killer entered the victims’ home without leaving any trace.
The balcony?
Coming back to his senses, Niu Peng went to the balcony, standing next to Xiao Yu who was looking up, and looked at the awning above.
Niu Peng’s mind raced, picturing a scene.
The killer first climbed to the rooftop of the building, came to the balcony from the victims’ awning, used a hand drill to make a hole, used a steel wire to open the door, entered, and committed the crime…
Impressive!
Niu Peng looked at Xiao Yu beside him, his gaze complex, as if saying: Are you a monster, thinking of this?
Xiao Yu seemed to understand Niu Peng’s look, smiling.
Even Cong Ge became a bootlicker.
What else in this world can’t happen?
Only an old fox can deal with an old fox.
Of course, Xiao Yu would never admit he’s cunning.
This is called wisdom, understand?
tln : “Cong Ge” likely refers to someone who has a reputation for being clever, cunning, or even a bit of a trickster. It’s a slang term that conveys a sense of someone who is street-smart and possibly manipulative, often used humorously or sarcastically.
