You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 296 The Death Was Horrific!

The newly built residential area on Jianqiao Road is one of the signs of An'nan City's transition from a planned economy to a market economy. However, the buildings were constructed first, and after inspection and verification, they were sold to the public.

In other words, you bought a ready-built house.

After all, in this era, things like demons and monsters had not yet emerged.

Of course, those who can afford it are not ordinary people; most of them are people in state-owned enterprises who are not short of money, as well as business people who are particularly astute about future economic conditions.

Last spring, to demonstrate Annan's determination to make great strides in economic development, city leaders, including Zhang Chunxia, ​​came to cut the ribbon after the residential complex was completed.

For several days, Annamese television and newspapers reported on this news.

However, this residential area is located in the southern suburbs of the city, which is remote. It is not very convenient for people who have bought a house and are not short of money. In addition, there is only one bus line, and there is no vegetable market or park, so very few people move here.

Right now, the patrol team members in the north of the city are patrolling the community, knocking on doors one by one. If no one is home, they ask the property management for a key to open the door.

Captain Wang Daquan was desperate. With his big belly and hands behind his back, he complained to Yang Jinwen, "Captain Yang, this is a series of interconnected residential areas with thousands of households. Most of them are not at home. How long will it take us to investigate like this?"

Yang Jinwen stood on the green space, looking around. Apart from the buildings, the rest of the neighborhood was bare. The plants planted last year were not even as tall as a person, with sparse leaves.

He and Wang Daquan were old acquaintances; Wang Daquan's patrol team had cooperated in the previous crackdown on "three-bedroom apartments".

That old guy loves to complain, just to get some benefits or show off how hard he works.

Yang Jinwen remained silent, so Wang Daquan dared not say anything more.

He had witnessed Yang Jinwen's rise through the ranks, and he knew exactly who Yang was.

Furthermore, a few months ago, Yang Jinwen led a group to arrest "Mad Dog" and Ding San from the Emperor Nightclub and Royal Water Club.

Wang Daquan admired this kind of courage.

So much so that they are now able to patrol every night and return home safely thanks to this special operation.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen said to Cai Ting behind him, "Sister Cai, did you sort out Tao Jianye's network of contacts before?"

Cai Ting nodded: "Yes, the list is still in my notebook."

"Go to the property management office and check the list they have. These people probably bought their houses in clusters, close to each other. As long as you find their names on the list, Tao Jianye should live not far away."

“Okay, I’ll go right now.” Cai Ting waved to Maozi.

The cat followed behind her reluctantly.

Yao Weihua said from the side: "Gong Biao said that on the morning of January 23, he picked up 'Yin Hong' on the main road outside. He didn't know which community it was, but he said that 'Yin Hong's' feet were not muddy."

The roads in the following residential areas were all dirt tracks, not paved. Only this one had paved roads, and it was snowing at the time. I think 'Crimson' left from this area.

Yang Jinwen raised an eyebrow: "This driver has such a sharp eye?"

Yao Weihua smiled and said, "Gong Biao is quite the chatterbox. He's told me a lot of funny stories along the way. He even raises pigeons and asked me if the criminal investigation team needed any 'police pigeons,' saying he could provide two for free."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "If we find Tao Jianye, we should get him a commendation in the name of our criminal investigation team."

"I think he's a good guy. He always talks about 'serving the people,' he seems like a nice person."

The patrol team searched the building, but found nothing.

The property management also sent someone over, who was full of resentment and complaints.

Not long after, Cai Ting came running over with the cat and said to Yang Jinwen, "Captain Yang, Yuan Dajun has two houses here, both under his name, in Building F, 1203 and 1202 respectively."

"Let's get the property management to come over and take a look."

Building F is located next to several buildings on the right, behind a hill, and overlooks the Swallow River in Annam. Standing on the building and looking out, you can see the Annam Steel Plant in the distance.

The tallest building in the complex is thirteen stories high and has one elevator.

This building is clearly sparsely populated. In this day and age, the fewer people living there, the more it proves that the residents are not short of money.

When I took the elevator to the twelfth floor, I could smell the building materials in the corridor.

A light dust settled on the corridor, and none of the six households had Spring Festival couplets pasted on their doors, clearly indicating that this floor was vacant.

The property management staff, dressed in white shirts and holding keychains, squeezed into the crowd.

Yang Jinwen pointed to room 1202 and ordered, "Open the door."

The property management staff nodded and retrieved the keys.

After the door opened, Yang Jinwen looked around at the entrance and saw that it was an empty room without any appliances, furniture, or curtains before stepping inside.

This is a fully furnished three-bedroom apartment, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Yuan Dajun owns two houses here, but he doesn't live in them himself. Moreover, his younger brother Yuan Lang and his ex-wife are unaware of his property situation. Without a doubt, Yuan Dajun bought the houses to give away.

As for who this house was given to, that information is not yet available.

Seeing that there was no problem, Yang Jinwen asked the property management to open room 1203.

As soon as the door opened, the living room furnishings came into view. The room was fully equipped with appliances and furniture, and the windows were tightly closed, preventing any outside light from getting in.

Just as Wang Daquan was about to go in, Yang Jinwen stopped him.

Having witnessed many murder scenes, Wang Daquan noticed Yang Jinwen's solemn expression. He sniffed hard with his bulbous nose and immediately smelled the rotten smell of rotten eggs.

"Damn! This must be it!" he exclaimed, quickly stepping back. Yao Weihua also sniffed the air, frowning, "There's a strange smell, I can't quite put my finger on it."

Yang Jinwen took out shoe covers and distributed a pair to each person, saying, "The criminal police team members go in first, the rest of you stay outside."

After the group got dressed, Yang Jinwen led the way inside.

There are several pairs of shoes on the shoe rack in the entryway: one pair of men's slippers and one pair of women's slippers, as well as one pair of summer slippers.

Yang Jinwen opened the cabinet next to the wall, but there were no other shoes inside.

In other words, this room is not frequently occupied, otherwise there would be more than just slippers.

A long-handled black umbrella was hanging on the wall, its fan open.

Cai Ting said, "Late at night on January 22, after Tao Jianye finished dinner at the An'nan Hotel, because it was snowing at the time, we asked his drinking buddies who had been eating with him. Tao Jianye had taken an umbrella from the hotel at the time, so it should be this umbrella."

Yang Jinwen nodded and stepped into the living room.

There was no coffee table in the living room, only a black leather sofa, about the length of one person and the width of two, and next to the sofa was a purple carpet.

Opposite the sofa is a television set. Next to the television set, in the upper right corner of the living room, against the wall, is a tripod with a black video camera on it, facing the sofa.

On the left is a "品"-shaped structure, with bedrooms on both sides. The innermost door is an aluminum alloy door, which should be the bathroom. All the bedroom doors are closed.

At this moment, after inspecting the kitchen, the cat came over and said, "There's nothing in the kitchen, it's empty, except for a refrigerator with some beer in it."

Oh, and there were over a dozen opened bags of salt in the trash can. I don't know what they were used for, and I didn't see any kimchi jars either.

Yao Weihua frowned: "Salt? What do we need salt for if we're not cooking?"

The cat shook its head: "I don't know."

Yang Jinwen looked at the wine cabinet against the wall in the kitchen, which was also filled with rows of wine bottles, including many foreign wines such as XO, Remy Martin, Wuliangye and Moutai. This was more than Tao Jianye had in his own home.

If this really is Tao Jianye's private residence, then this person must be a heavy drinker.

At this moment, Yao Weihua and Cai Ting pushed open the bedroom doors on the left and right.

The bedroom on the left was empty, without even curtains. The floor was the same as the living room, made of glazed tiles, covered with a light layer of dust.

The bedroom on the right was different; the blue curtains were tightly closed, letting in no light.

A two-meter-long sofa bed, but the sheets are missing.

There were bottles and jars on the bedside table, and a dressing table at the foot of the bed, which also had a lot of things on it.

In addition, there is a wardrobe against the wall near the door.

Yao Weihua was startled when he slid open the wardrobe.

It was full of women's lingerie, red, black, and colorful.

Slide open another wardrobe door, and you'll see rows of clothes hangers with metal handcuffs, whips, and red ropes. At the bottom of the wardrobe are red candles and a man's...

The cat picked up the bottles and jars from the bedside table; he couldn't understand them.

But Cai Ting immediately understood and said, "This is a hallucinogen."

"What is this for?"

Cai Ting ignored him.

Yang Jinwen glanced at the bed. At the foot of the bed were the man's black overcoat, sweater, thermal underwear, and an expensive men's belt.

He stepped out of the bedroom and went to push open the bathroom door.

A putrid stench wafted over, mixed with an indescribable odor.

Because the bathroom light was off, Yang Jinwen only saw a human-shaped object wrapped in a beige sheet in front of him.

His gaze sharpened, and he stood at the doorway, turning on the light on the wall.

A blinding light shone down from the ceiling.

The large bathroom floor had a bed sheet rolled up and placed against the wall, next to which was the toilet, and in the trash can of the toilet was a man's shorts.

Yao Weihua, standing behind Yang Jinwen, swallowed hard: "Holy crap, this is a corpse!"

Several people watched the situation inside, their hearts pounding.

After checking the shoe covers to make sure they wouldn't leave any marks, Yang Jinwen and Yao Weihua went inside, covered their noses, and squatted down beside them. Together, they rolled the bed sheet away.

When it was halfway through rolling, it couldn't be torn apart anymore.

It was full of yellow mucus, like melted and solidified maltose, sticking tightly to the sheets.

A withered, bluish-black arm appeared before their eyes.

He was wearing a Shanghai brand mechanical watch on his wrist.

This type of watch needs to be wound up, at which point the hands on the dial have stopped.

The time shown above is 7:51!
