“What have you discovered?” Ye Lanchen finally enquired. He turned his attention back to the bathroom’s door and narrowed his eyes.
“We unearthed a set of suspicious fingerprints on her cosmetic products. Of course, it doesn’t belong to the cleaning lady.” This time round, Fifth Young Master Shen replied almost immediately without beating around the bush.
“The products are all new thus there aren’t many sets of fingerprints on it. I had my subordinates investigate further. Some fingerprints belonged to the salesperson but there wasn’t any security camera in the store hence we couldn’t go further from there. However, apart from the several fingerprints left behind by the cleaning lady, there is also one fingerprint on each of those cosmetic products, which I reckon was left behind by the woman in question.” It was evident that Fifth Young Master Shen had taken to this matter seriously.
He feared that Third Elder Brother would no longer care about him if he did not make amends by figuring out the identity of this woman.
“…”
Ye Lanchen twitched his eyebrows in a slight frown but he remained silent. He believed she would not make such a basic mistake.
Unquestionably, she knew that the things left behind on the third floor would be discovered. He did not think she would leave her fingerprints on those cosmetic products like an inexperienced amateur.
Ye Lanchen did not treat this piece of information with much importance because of that reason.
“We also found prints on the pen that she used in the interrogation room.” Fifth Young Master Shen added quickly.
This was the crucial point that Fifth Young Master Shen wanted to disclose.
The other fingerprints they found could have been tampered with but she could not have done the same with the pen. There were several people in the interrogation room with her and Fifth Young Master Shen had placed her under his scrutiny. There was no way she could have tricked them.
A hint of brilliance twinkled across Ye Lanchen’s eyes and he sat upright suddenly. Shen Ting must have seen her utilizing that particular pen personally.
Therefore, this could be extremely crucial evidence!
He had already employed people to initiate the investigation over at Country M. He believed that truth would unfold soon.
However, Shen Ting’s suggested method was better and quicker. Naturally, Ye Lanchen would give it a try.
“Initially, I didn’t have high hopes about this and thought the possibility was slim. But, when I was organizing the paperwork, I discovered she scribbled some symbols whilst interrogating Mu Shaobai. I didn’t understand the symbols but I concluded she must have used a pen.” Fifth Young Master Shen spoke quickly but clearly, without missing a beat.
“Hence, I collected the fingerprints on the pen.” Fifth Young Master Shen paused for dramatic effect. “Third Elder Brother, guess what I found?”
“Tell me.” Naturally, Ye Lanchen would not take the bait to begin the guessing game. He answered simply yet his voice was laced with intimidation.
“Turns out, results show that the fingerprint on the pen is the same as the fingerprints found on the cosmetic products.” Fifth Young Master Shen pouted subconsciously but he still disclosed the facts instantly.
“Third Elder Brother, if you have any suspects in mind, you can bring in an item laced with her fingerprints to the police station. I can do that as a favor.” Fifth Young Master Shen was eager to compensate for his mistake.
“Third Elder Brother, you’ll be several steps nearer to the truth with this fingerprint. At least we can use this method to eliminate any suspicious woman you have in mind.”
“But that woman is truly cunning and I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to locate a suspect.”
Ye Lanchen darted his eyes toward the glass that Chu Wuyou had just utilized a brief moment ago. A smile flashed across his face. Who said that it would be difficult to locate a suspect?!
