Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 8 Lamborghini
After saying goodbye to Huang Siqian, Chen Shu left Tianjia Garden and headed anxiously straight for the Lamborghini's parking space on Riverside Road.

Based on the clues gathered so far, the Lamborghini parked at the crime scene should be the last chance!
If nothing is found, then we can only wait next to Zhao Hu for the kidnappers' call.

This is too passive!

Even though his heart was burning with excitement, as he got closer to the Lamborghini, Chen Shu's pace slowed down, he became more relaxed, and his expression gradually became more leisurely.

He strolled around with his hands behind his back, leisurely looking around, like an ordinary person living nearby who was taking a leisurely walk after dinner.

He slowly walked towards the Lamborghini, then suddenly his face lit up with surprise. He bent down and pounced in front of the car in a flash.

In reality, it is extremely rare for criminals to attempt to return to the crime scene after committing a crime.

From the perspective of criminal psychology, unless the criminal has a special psychological fetish or it is for a necessary purpose, such as cleaning up traces or physical evidence left at the crime scene, it is unlikely that the perpetrator will be able to commit the crime.

Generally speaking, criminals try to stay away from the crime scene as much as possible after committing a crime, because their subconscious will make them consciously reduce their exposure, especially in places where they might encounter the police.

Therefore, sometimes when we watch TV dramas, we will find that some criminals, after committing a crime, when they are hiding somewhere, if they hear the sound of police sirens or see the figures of police officers in their line of sight, even if they know that the police are not involved, their first reaction will always be to become nervous and uneasy, and then they will quickly leave the scene and avoid the police's sight.

Back at the scene, the victim's car parked in front of Chen Shu was a Lamborghini Huracan, nicknamed "Little Bull," with license plate number Dong C588DM. It was worth over three million yuan and was a true luxury car.

There are collision marks on the left front fender, but no scratches or collision marks on other parts of the vehicle; the tires are normal and there is no mud or other sticky material; the windows are closed normally and there are no items inside the vehicle.

From an external perspective, everything is normal.

Chen Shu squatted down, reached out and vigorously wiped the impacted area of ​​the fender. Turning his finger over, he noticed some black powdery paint on it.

He continued to carefully touch around the point of impact with his hand, and when he turned his palm over, he saw that there was black powdery paint everywhere.

It's undoubtedly a new injury!
Yes, it should have happened within the last day or two, and it doesn't seem too serious. It was probably a low-speed collision between two vehicles; the other vehicle was black.

Based on the height of the marks, since the fenders of a Lamborghini are naturally lower than those of a normal car, the fact that the other vehicle's paint was on the fenders suggests that the other vehicle was also not very tall, and the impact point could not have been the bumper.

Therefore, SUVs and minivans should be ruled out first.

Let's assume for now that the collision was caused by kidnappers. The number of people in the sports car and motorcycle wouldn't meet the required number for a crime. Therefore, the black car involved in the collision was a sedan.

Chen Shu smiled calmly and temporarily decided on the vehicle to commit the crime.

After inspecting the front of the car, he continued to walk slowly from the front to the rear of the car, his body slightly bent over. He slid the five fingers of his left hand along the streamlined waistline of the car body to the flat, recessed handle, then gently pressed the small latch on the handle with his index finger, and then grasped the pop-out handle and gave it a slight tug.

"Click!" Chen Shu clearly felt a mechanical vibration coming from his left hand.

The car doors were unlocked!

He suddenly straightened up, glanced around discreetly, and after repeatedly confirming that no one was around, he swiftly opened the car door and jumped into the driver's seat.

In a few breaths, he finished searching the car, crouched down and tiptoed out, leaning against the car body to steadily close the door. Then, he let out a slight, unconscious sigh, lowered his eyelids, and continued walking slowly along the road.

The car interior was normal. There was no dashcam, no Liu Yan's personal belongings, no signs of vandalism or damage, no suspicious items, and nothing suspicious at all. Everything seemed perfectly normal.
This car may not be directly related to the kidnapping case, but the collision mark is indeed too new, and the timing coincides with the kidnapping. I'll have to ask the traffic police in the area to help check the car's accident reports and driving records for the past few days; maybe they can find something.
Chen Shu continued to stroll leisurely, step by step, still bothered by the brand-new collision mark on the front fender of the Lamborghini.

Suddenly, his slow and relaxed steps stopped, his left foot hovered in the air, and after a few seconds, he stepped down heavily again.

In a flash, Chen Shu noticed something unusual inside the car.

Wait a minute! There's something wrong with the seat!
At over 1.8 meters tall, I didn't feel cramped or crowded at all while sitting in the driver's seat.

Liu Yan is short in stature. If she were the one driving the car, it would have been impossible for me to get into the car so easily and move around freely without feeling cramped when checking the interior.

Zhao Hu's build is similar to mine, so if he had adjusted the seat, I wouldn't have felt uncomfortable sitting in it just now!

Zhao Hu is lying! He was the one who ultimately drove the Lamborghini!

Recalling Zhao Hu's hesitant gaze and incoherent statements in the interrogation room, Chen Shu became even more certain of his thoughts, but still had some doubts about Zhao Hu's behavioral logic.

Why did he lie to the police? Was he in cahoots with the kidnappers?

That's impossible; it doesn't make any logical sense. If Zhao Hu was after money, he could have chosen not to call the police, simply paid the kidnappers cash for the ransom, and then divided the spoils afterward.

If it wasn't for money, then what was it for?
Life?
Murder is punishable by death, and instigation is an even more serious crime. Zhao Hu couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Even if he really wanted to kill someone, there was no need to use someone else as a pretext, leaving himself with incriminating evidence. Furthermore, the kidnappers were confirmed to be a gang operating from out of town, making any connection between the two groups entirely impossible.

Why was that? Why did Zhao Hu drive the Lamborghini afterwards?

And did they conceal this small detail from the police?
