On The Day Of My 100th Blind Date, I Arrested My Date

Chapter 12

Zhang Yunhu and the others also noticed Chen Yan’s arrival, but they only nodded as a greeting and continued busying themselves with inspecting the scene.

Due to the evil nature of the case, it had been reported to the provincial team.

The higher-ups gave a deadline of one week for the case to be solved.

Zhang Yunhu was now personally leading the team to catch the suspect in the Bloody Cross murder case.

[Ding! The Strongest Police Nurturing System has issued a new mission.]

[Solve the Bloody Cross murder in five days. The reward for mission completion is “Gun Mastery”. Failure or overdue will result in cancellation of mission reward.]

Two notifications sounded in Chen Yan’s mind.

The reward this time was actually gun mastery?

Chen Yan had thought that the system would only provide rewards that were related to activating one’s genes.

From the looks of it, there was still a lot of room for him to explore the system’s power.

“Xiao Chen,” After introducing the general situation, Liu Qingshan had to get busy with his own mission, “You keep an eye on the perimeter. Don’t move around wantonly and don’t touch anything on your own. Watch how the others conduct on-site investigations.”

Chen Yan nodded. “Master, don’t worry. I understand!”

Although he was a trainee police officer, his colleagues in the team had long recognized his ability.

The online prostitution case was one thing since it was a bit of a coincidence, but the dismembered bodies and wife-killing case that he had solved the day before yesterday showed his real ability.

It was a fact that Chen Yan had discovered some details that the many veterans in the team had not discovered.

Not only had he discovered the details, but he had also found the most important evidence.

Otherwise, if the case were to be classified as a missing person case, not only would the murderer go free, but the team would also be unable to hold their heads up high in the future.

It was just that Chen Yan’s application to become an official policeman had yet to receive formal approval, and the rules could not be broken.

However, this did not matter to Chen Yan.

As soon as he entered the scene, he activated his olfactory gene and visual gene.

The strong smell of blood overwhelmed all the other scents.

It was obviously impossible to track down the murderer by relying on the suspect’s body odor.

Besides, the scene was a classroom, so the flow of people was particularly heavy. Under the cover of the bloody smell, there were hundreds of body scents, and it was impossible to distinguish them.

However, Chen Yan did find something.

Among the countless scents, he discovered two special scents.

One was alcohol, a very high concentration of alcohol.

The other scent was very faint but very special.

Succinylcholine, also known as Skolin, is a drug that had similar effects to the N2 Cholinoreceptor Blocker, which is commonly used as a muscle relaxant.

But different from the N2 Cholinoreceptor Blocker, Succinylcholine’s main effect was in the limbs and neck muscle relaxation. The effect of the drug is fast and short-lived, and it would not bring the common side effects like a drop in blood pressure, bradycardia and others.

To put it bluntly, it could make the recipient’s limbs weak and unable to speak.

The drug was a controlled drug. Why would a classroom have the smell of this drug?

At the same time, Chen Yan had also activated his visual gene. With his ability to freeze images, everything around him was like a jigsaw puzzle that he magnified in his brain.

Having both abilities running at full, it was like he was seeing everything from God’s perspective, and he seemed to be overlooking everything from above the classroom.

The bloodstains that were scattered on the ground now showed a pattern.

A rose!

A wild rose pattern!

Why did the murderer use the victim’s blood to leave a wild rose pattern?

What was the special meaning behind it?

Was it a symbol that the killer had deliberately left behind?

There was also the cross that had been formed with the victim’s skin.

Why?

Why a cross and not some other pattern?

The image of the blood-red cross made of human skin that he had stored in his mind was instantly magnified before his eyes.

The palm, shoulder, chest, forehead, lower abdomen, thighs, calves, ankles…

There were a total of 21 steel nails.

On top of that, there were hole-shaped wounds in the corresponding positions on the victim’s body.

At the same time, the bloodstains between the human skin and the body were continuous. It was as if the body had first been nailed to the blackboard before the suspect had removed the skin and made the body kneel before his skin.

One could imagine how much pain the victim had suffered during this process.

He then zoomed in on the corpse.

The posture of the corpse was very special.

A postmortem corpse couldn’t possibly kneel naturally.

Zooming in on the image of the corpse, he noticed that there were steel wire clamps on the lower limbs, waist, and abdomen of the corpse.

Why did the murderer have to spend so much effort to make the corpse kneel?

The wild rose bloodstain pattern… the human skin cross… the kneeling body…

And the strange smell of medicine.

Now, the biggest clue was the Succinylcholine.

If the suspect had obtained this drug through the proper channels, every milligram would be recorded.

Unless the other party was a chemical expert who could extract the alkali.

Three hours later, Zhang Yunhu and the others completed their preliminary investigation of the scene.

“Xiao Chen, Old Liu called you here too?” Zhang Yunhu sounded a little tired. After working hard for the whole morning, anyone would be exhausted.

“How is it? Did you find any clues?”

“Captain Zhang, Master asked me to come over to watch and learn,” Then, Chen Yan pointed in the direction of the corpse, “I didn’t go near the corpse to observe, so I didn’t find many clues.”

Huh?

Zhang Yunhu looked at Chen Yan in surprise. Although he had been busy with work, he had noticed that Chen Yan had been at the periphery.

He had only asked the question subconsciously, but he didn’t expect Chen Yan to really have found some clues.

“What is it?” If it was someone else, Zhang Yunhu might not have thought much of it, but the case of the mutilated bodies the day before yesterday made him understand that Chen Yan was very good at finding details.

Since Chen Yan said that he had a clue, then it might really be so.

“Captain Zhang, I’m not sure yet…” Chen Yan frowned, “I need to confirm it.”

“Okay, since we’ve finished investigating the scene, we’ll follow you.”

This time, Chen Yan did not refuse. The smell of Succinylcholine was very faint, and his olfactory gene was only effective within a perimeter of 100 meters. He had to hurry.

Following the smell of Succinylcholine, Chen Yan left the classroom.

Zhang Yunhu, along with the two vice-captains and Liu Qingshan, followed behind Chen Yan and did not disturb him.

Outside the teaching building, the smell of Succinylcholine suddenly weakened and was almost imperceptible.

Fortunately, not much time had passed, so Chen Yan could barely track it.

He walked slowly before arriving at a garbage disposal station.

Two cleaners were emptying the garbage into the garbage truck.

“Stop!” From afar, Chen Yan saw that the two cleaners were about to empty a bucket of garbage, and his expression immediately changed as he rushed over.

The two cleaners wanted to continue emptying the bin, but when they saw the few policemen following behind Chen Yan, they subconsciously put down the trash can in their hands.

Smelling the increasingly heavy smell of Succinylcholine, Chen Yan knew that the source was in the trash can in front of him.

Fortunately, he was in time. Otherwise, if the garbage had been dumped into the garbage truck, it would be difficult to find the object after it was compressed.

Looking around, Chen Yan picked up the garbage shears beside the garbage truck and said to the cleaners, “Excuse me, please step back for a moment.”

After saying that, he began to pick at the garbage carefully.

“Xiao Chen, you…” Liu Qingshan went forward curiously, but Zhang Yunhu stopped him.

“Don’t worry, let’s see what he wants to do.”

Ten minutes later, Chen Yan picked up a yellow object and heaved a sigh of relief, “I’ve finally found you!”
