Chapter 2392 2393 Killing Technique
Chapter 2392: Chapter 2393: Killing Technique Chapter 2392: Chapter 2393: Killing Technique Lin Yi smoothed out Gu Yiran’s train of thought, agreeing that her ideas were logical and decided to conduct a thorough investigation.
The murderer must have transported the body back by vehicle after the killing. If someone had noticed the situation at the time, it would be of great help to solve the case.
Having made up their minds, the two started making inquiries in the village.
However, after a day’s time, the villagers’ responses were all consistent; no one had seen any vehicles parked in front of the Fang family’s garage on the morning of the incident.
The pair returned to the garage with grim expressions and heavy doubts clouding their minds.
“Could it be that the body wasn’t transported here by car?”
“Even if it wasn’t a car, it surely must have been some other means of transport. But that would have been more conspicuous, so… God!”
Hearing Lin Yi’s scream, Gu Yiran subconsciously covered her chest.
“What strange thing are you thinking about now?”
Lin Yi gave her a speechless glance. “Together, your two ‘things’ aren’t even as big as one of my girlfriend’s. Don’t block me, you’re not up to my standard yet.”
“Get lost, I won’t let you see anyway.”
“I wouldn’t care to see.”
“Stop talking nonsense, what’s with all the alarming reactions?”
“We’ve been wrong from the beginning. The murderer might not have followed the approach we imagined.”
Gu Yiran’s eyes brightened. “Stop beating around the bush, tell me what it is.”
“Just watch me demonstrate, and you’ll understand.”
Lin Yi pointed to the garage’s front door, the one facing Fang Daye’s courtyard.
“Now, pretend to be Fang Daye and walk in from the outside.”
“Oh, okay.”
Gu Yiran walked outside the garage and imitated Fang Daye, walking in from outside.
“Stop. When you came in and saw the coffin lid was opened, what’s your first thought?”
“Definitely to close it.”
“Exactly, Fang Daye thought the same, and that explains why his fingerprints were on the coffin!”
“And then?”
Lin Yi stood behind Gu Yiran and then covered her nose and mouth!
Gu Yiran’s eyes flashed in realization, her beautiful eyes widened, “I get what you mean now.”
Lin Yi let go of his hands, and Gu Yiran composed herself, her gaze solemnly sharing:
“At the time, Fang Daye was about to go out shopping but after coming here, he found the coffin lid opened. He attempted to close it again, and at that moment, the murderer attacked him from behind, suffocated him alive, and then placed him inside the coffin!”
“Exactly!” Lin Yi said:
“I’ve seen Fang Daye’s autopsy report. Besides a herniated lumbar disc, his heart wasn’t very strong. Under such circumstances, he could have been suffocated to death within a minute.”
“If I were to do this, killing him and placing the body in the coffin and then closing the lid, two minutes would be enough! For other physically stronger individuals, about five minutes would suffice. This significantly increases the success rate and saves a lot of effort.”
Gu Yiran thought for a moment, then continued:
“On the day of the incident, when we came to investigate, we found a friction mark from the coffin’s location to the door of the garage. I guess the murderer, fearing discovery, dragged Fang Daye to the door and locked it from the inside. This way, the garage turned into a sealed room. Even if someone came by suddenly, they wouldn’t know what happened inside, giving him enough time to escape!”
“Smart!” Lin Yi remarked:
“The reason we didn’t consider this is very likely because we were misled by the murderer. After killing Fang Daye, he drove away himself. Although someone saw Fang Daye’s car moving, they probably didn’t see clearly who was driving and assumed preemptively that Fang Daye drove off.”
“So we were all led astray.”
Lin Yi nodded, “The murderer’s tactic was very clever; we all fell for his smoke bomb.”
Gu Yiran shivered, “This guy is really smart, it’s terrifying just thinking about it.”
“Indeed an interesting opponent.” Lin Yi checked his watch, “Let’s stop here for today, we’ll check the woods tomorrow.”
“That’s fine, the visibility isn’t good at night, it’s easy to miss something.”
Decided, the two of them headed back.
However, Lin Yi didn’t go home but went to Mi Li’s place.
Due to her pregnancy, Shuyi had sent two maids to take full care of Mi Li’s day-to-day needs, who had gained several pounds due to the pregnancy.
“Why are you here? Isn’t the precinct busy today?”
Seeing Lin Yi, Mi Li greeted him and led him inside.
“I came back early to check on you. How about going out for a walk tonight?”
“Okay, I’ve been feeling a bit achy and sore, really should get out and move around.” Mi Li said as she stretched her body.
“Let’s go then.”
Mi Li dressed up, greeted the maids, and left with Lin Yi.
The two didn’t do much; they just went out for dinner, watched a movie, strolled the streets, chatted, and then returned home.
However, that night, Lin Yi didn’t go back to his place but stayed over at Mi Li’s.
“By the way, I heard from the guys below that people from Apple Company came to your company to talk about the new energy battery project, and they hit a snag?”
Coming inside, Mi Li had a face mask on and then crawled under the covers.
“A bunch of idiots, really think they’re so great, trying to fleece me of all people.”
“You did right to refuse them. In about half a month, the pilot documents will be issued. Their project has no appeal.”
“You hit the nail on the head.” Lin Yi spoke:
“Free up some time to swing by my place. The mobile operating system, chips, and new energy batteries, these three sectors are all following high-end manufacturing routes. Holding these in your hand can prevent others from exploiting your pregnancy issue.”
Suddenly, Mi Li kissed Lin Yi on the face.
“I knew you would have arranged these things in advance.”
“Listen to you, if I hadn’t got everything straight for the mother of my child, I’d be failing as a dad.”
“You’re doing well; there’s a reward for you tonight.”
“Cut the nonsense, this stage is the most dangerous, don’t mess around.” Lin Yi responded:
“If anything goes wrong, the impact on your health is irreversible.”
“You, sometimes you’re as clever as a monkey and sometimes dumber than a pig.” Mi Li rolled her eyes at Lin Yi:
“Do you think I would gamble with something like this? Even if I wanted to, I’d restrain myself.”
“What reward were you talking about then?”
“I still have a mouth, don’t I? Let me relieve your fatigue.”
“Fuck! That’s a plan!”
