Chapter 176 You've Been Exposed
Along the way, Li Biao and forensic doctor Lao Zhang discussed where the murderer was hiding.

That's how you can avoid being discovered by the cleaning lady when she's cleaning the room at the guesthouse.

"Do you think the murderer really didn't leave the scene?"

"If the murderer didn't leave the scene, then what about the piece of clothing outside the window?"

Old Zhang, the forensic doctor, was, after all, a forensic doctor, not a professional criminal investigator, so he was still agonizing over the problem of the piece of clothing outside the window.

Li Biao glanced at the forensic doctor, Lao Zhang, and uttered four words indifferently: "To confuse the public!"

Upon hearing Li Biao's answer, forensic doctor Lao Zhang was impressed but puzzled.

But Feng Nan couldn't help but laugh.

Li Biao's thinking has gotten back on track.

I have completely understood her investigative approach.

Upon returning to the scene, the victim's body had already been removed.

Is there anything unusual?

Feng Nan asked Xiao Xu, who remained at the scene even after the victim's body had been removed.

"There's nothing unusual."

Although Xiao Xu was puzzled by Feng Nan's question, she still answered it with a serious expression.

"That's good!"

Feng Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The absence of any abnormalities indicates that the murderer is unaware that they have been exposed.

or--

She was wrong.

The murderer did not remain at the scene at all.

They had already climbed down from the fifth floor through the window and made their escape.

However, Feng Nan still firmly believes that her approach is correct.

The perpetrator is most likely the former, and did not leave the small scene.

Feng Nan looked around the small room, secretly wondering where the murderer was hiding.

The on-site investigators have already opened and inspected the wardrobe in the room.

There were no signs of anyone hiding inside.

Moreover, when the cleaning lady comes to clean the room, she will most likely open the closet to check.

Check checking guests who have checked out to see if they have left any clothes or luggage in the room.

Therefore, the murderer could not be hiding in the closet.

Besides, the wardrobe door is still ajar.

In this small room, besides the wardrobe, where else could someone hide?
Is it the restroom?

No, the bathroom is even easier to expose than a wardrobe.

The bathroom is a place that the guesthouse cleaning staff will definitely clean.

If there are people inside, how could they not be seen?
And didn't the on-site investigators also go to the restroom to collect evidence?

Forensic pathologist Lao Zhang also collected biological samples in the restroom.

Unless the murderer can become invisible, how could so many people not have discovered him if he were hiding in the bathroom?
The idea had barely formed when Feng Nan rejected it with a self-questioning answer.

However, just to be on the safe side, Feng Nan headed towards the restroom.

She should check it herself.

To prevent the murderer from actually hiding in the bathroom.

It's not always shown in movies, but people sometimes hide things in the bathroom exhaust fan.

What if the murderer hid himself inside?

Seeing Feng Nan head towards the restroom, Li Biao and forensic doctor Lao Zhang immediately followed.

They weren't afraid that Feng Nan needed to use the restroom.

Because they are mindful of protecting the scene, even if it's an emergency, no one will use the toilets at the scene.

To avoid unintentionally damaging the scene and contaminating important evidence.

Especially biological samples!
Feng Nan walked into the bathroom and glanced at the exhaust fan above her head.

There appears to be no sign of it being disassembled.

Snapped--

Feng Nan turned on the bathroom exhaust fan.

hum-

As soon as Feng Nan turned on the exhaust fan, the sound of the exhaust fan running filled the bathroom.

The exhaust fan is working.

There's no need to open it up to check; you know there's no one hiding inside.

If someone were hiding there, the exhaust fan wouldn't be functioning properly. Therefore, the possibility of the murderer hiding in the bathroom is ruled out.

Unless the murderer possesses the seventy-two transformations of Sun Wukong.

It can change size and hide in the toilet tank or inside the toilet.

Or they could hide in the sewers.

Otherwise, even with just two people standing inside, the restroom would feel somewhat crowded.

There is nowhere left to hide.

Feng Nan turned and walked out of the bathroom, then returned to the room.

His eyes scanned the entire room, searching for any other hiding place.

Feng Nan's gaze swept over the television, TV cabinet, bed, bedside table, curtains, and wardrobe—

Finally, my gaze fell on the suitcase placed next to the wardrobe.

Feng Nan squinted, estimating the size of the suitcase.

Think back to the size of the perpetrator in the surveillance video.

"It's possible to hide inside."

Feng Nan muttered to himself.

Upon hearing Feng Nan's mutterings, Li Biao reacted immediately.

click-

The pistol was cocked and the muzzle was pointed at the suitcase.

Li Biao assumed a fighting stance and winked at Xiao Du beside him.

He gestured for Xiao Du to go up and open the suitcase.

Xiao Du hadn't realized what was happening yet.

Li Biao's expression was solemn, and he even drew his sidearm.

They then entered combat mode, cautiously approaching the suitcase.

Feng Nan understood Li Biao's neurotic reaction.

But I still find it both funny and sad.

She was just saying it casually.

Unexpectedly, Li Biao actually took it seriously.

"Don't be so nervous!"

"The murderer couldn't have hidden it in the suitcase."

Feng Nan quickly stopped Xiao Du, who was near the suitcase.

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, Li Biao and Xiao Du were both taken aback.

"Didn't you say it would be just the right size to hide it?"

Li Biao put away his gun and asked in confusion.

"It can be hidden, but it's impossible to put it in a suitcase."

"The suitcase was brought by the victim, not the murderer."

"If the murderer is hidden in the suitcase, then we don't need to worry about the oxygen problem."

"Aren't you also worried that when we investigate the scene, we might open the suitcase to check the victim's belongings?"

Feng Nan explained to Li Biao helplessly.

"Moreover, and most importantly, the suitcase was brought by the victim when he checked in."

“We have seen it in the surveillance video.”

"Where did the killer hide before the victim checked in?"

"So, before the suitcase was even in the room, the murderer had already prepared a perfect hiding place in the room."

"Since there was such a perfect hiding place, why did the murderer abandon it and instead hide in the less secure suitcase?"

Feng Nan already had a clear understanding of the case.

Now I feel much more relaxed and am analyzing things for Li Biao with a smile.

After listening to Feng Nan's analysis, Li Biao nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense."

"Where is the murderer hiding?"

"Could he actually know how to become invisible?"

Looking at the room, which could be seen in its entirety at a glance, Li Biao asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, I've already found him."

Feng Nan smiled and gestured to Li Biao to calm down.

As she spoke, Feng Nan walked to the bedside and patted the soft sheets: "Mr. Murderer, you've been exposed."

Or rather—

"The murderer, Miss?"
