The on-site investigation work went very smoothly. The detectives responsible for the inspection extracted a lot of inspection materials and fingerprint information from the bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen.

It takes a certain amount of time to extract relevant DNA information, but fingerprint identification is very fast.

Since the body of the deceased Duan Lanzhi has waxed, her fingerprint information can still be extracted. After a simple comparison, it can be determined that the fingerprints extracted in Room 1103 belong to Duan Lanzhi. In other words, Duan Lanzhi used to live in here.

Combined with the location where Duan Lanzhi's body was dumped, Chen Yan has reason to believe that Room 1103 was the scene of the first crime where Duan Lanzhi was murdered.

Half an hour later, Chen Yan saw Luan Dongtian, a slightly thin and pale middle-aged man in the interrogation room of the fourth team.

At the same time, some basic information files about Luan Dongtian were also sent to Chen Yan.

Luan Dongtian, male, 36 years old, a native of Liancheng, and Wang Shuang are the original couple.

After reading the materials, Chen Yan frowned slightly. This Luan Dongtian can be considered a person who has experienced ups and downs.

When Luan Dongtian was young, he worked in the system after graduating from university. He resigned ten years ago and went into business and started a business. Not to mention he really made a name for himself.

Luan Dongtian ran a trading company 10 years ago, mainly engaged in cosmetics wholesale business. At its peak, the company's production capacity reached tens of millions.

It was also when Luan Dongtian was at his most glorious, that he married his current wife Wang Shuang. However, since the two got married, Luan Dongtian's business began to go downhill. In just three years, the money he originally earned They all lost money, and the subsequent business collapsed, and the company went bankrupt.

Then the family embarked on a miracle journey. Wang Shuang opened Tingmei Beauty Club with the money Luan Dongtian gave her over the years.

Unexpectedly, business became booming all of a sudden. After five years of development, Tingmei's business was even more profitable than Luan Dongtian's trading company back then.

"Luan Dongtian, do you know Duan Lanzhi?"

"We know her," Luan Dongtian replied simply: "She is a technician at my wife's beauty salon. She has been working in our store for five years."

"What's your relationship with her?"

"This..." Luan Dongtian's expression showed obvious hesitation when it came to the relationship between the two of them: "Can I ask her if something happened?"

"She disappeared three months ago. She doesn't answer calls or respond to WeChat messages. I...did something happen to her?"

Luan Dongtian's expression revealed the truth, but the content of his words made Chen Yan a little strange. Luan Dongtian's question meant that he did not know that Duan Lanzhi was dead.

Didn't he kill the person?

Or was Luan Dongtian deliberately acting?

"Luan Dongtian, I think the most important thing you should do now is cooperate with our work. Where Duan Lanzhi went...you should know better than anyone else, right?"

ah?

Luan Dongtian was stunned for a moment, with anxiety and a hint of fear in his eyes: "She...is something really wrong?"

"Officer, I will definitely tell you everything about Duan Lanzhi and me, and I will fully cooperate with your work, but can you tell me first, what happened to Lanzhi?"

The whole time Luan Dongtian was speaking, Chen Yan had been carefully analyzing Luan Dongtian's expression and body language.

It is very real and natural. Whether it is the tension expressed in body language or the changes in expression, they are relatively coordinated with each other. The expression of emotion is relatively sincere, and the possibility of lying is unlikely.

Looking at Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingshan took the initiative to speak: "Duan Lanzhi is dead. We found her body in the water storage tank on the roof."

"Dead...? Really dead?!"

"She's on the top of the building...it turns out she didn't leave...she's right above me...wuwuwu"

After confirming the news of Duan Lanzhi's death, Luan Dongtian seemed to have a breakdown. He muttered to himself and actually cried.

Chen Yan frowned and looked at Luan Dongtian, who was bursting with emotion.

Is he really sad, or is it just crocodile tears acting on us?

It's not uncommon for a cat to cry and a mouse to pretend to be compassionate. Although Luan Dongtian's expression was very sincere, it didn't look like he was deliberately acting.

Chen Yan did not interrupt Luan Dongdong's emotional venting, but just kept looking at his expression. Acting was okay for a while, but over time it would definitely show flaws.

It took five minutes for Luan Dongtian to finally control his emotions: "You suspect that I killed Lanzhi, right?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, Chen Yan didn't expect that Luan Dongtian's first sentence would be this.

However, there is no need to deceive Luan Dongtian at this time: "We found Duan Lanzhi's body in the water storage tank on the top floor of your building. At the same time, when we were investigating Duan Lanzhi's residence, we also found Duan Lanzhi's body in your name. Duan Lanzhi’s fingerprints were found in 1103.”

"At the same time, we collected a lot of dander and hair in the room, and these things are being used for DNA identification."

"The wardrobe in the bedroom contains a lot of clothes worn by women, as well as work clothes from Tingmei Beauty Club, and Duan Lanzhi's work badge, so we have reason to believe that Duan Lanzhi has been living in Room 1103 under your name for a long time."

"Logically speaking, she lives in your house. It is impossible for you not to know her existence. And three months ago, the Tingmeimei Club owned by your wife reported that Duan Lanzhi was missing. The detective in charge of the case determined that Duan Lanzhi was missing. After returning to her hometown, the case was cancelled, but on May 26, Duan Lanzhi’s husband personally took her to the train station to return to Liancheng.”

"But we did not find any record of Duan Lanzhi purchasing any public transportation. After that, the person really disappeared. Just today we found Duan Lanzhi's body."

"Luan Dongtian, tell yourself, are you worthy of doubt?"

To Chen Yan's surprise, Luan Dongtian did not refute or quibble, but nodded in agreement.

"Officer, if I were you, I would also think that I am the murderer."

"But... I really didn't kill Lanzhi. I was indeed unaware of her death."

"Lanzhi and I actually knew each other before I got married..."

Luan Dongtian then told the story between him and Duan Lanzhi.

According to Luan Dongdong's story, he and Duan Lanzhi met earlier than he and his current wife Wang Shuang.

"Before Wang Shuang and I got married, Lanzhi and I had always had a relationship. The house was bought for her after I met Lanzhi and before we got married, so Wang Shuang never knew about the existence of this house."

"Originally, I planned to marry Lanzhi, but she already had a family and children at that time. She did not agree to divorce at that time. I later married my current wife Wang Shuang."

"My relationship with Lanzhi never ended. She never left me until my business failed. Wang Shuang later opened Tingmei Beauty Club. The reason why Lanzhi went to help her and tried her best to help her was also because of me. s reason."

"As you said, Lanzhi did not buy a train or plane ticket to return to Liancheng on May 26 this year because I drove to Sichuan Province to pick her up."

"I told Wang Shuang at that time that I was going to Tibet Province by car, actually just to pick up Lanzhi. After that, Lanzhi and I returned to Liancheng on June 15."

"After returning to Liancheng, Lanzhi did not go to the club to work, and I also returned home."

"Actually, I go to Lanzhi less often, only once a week. But when I went to Shanhe Jiayuan Community for the second time on June 20, Lanzhi disappeared."

"At that time, I thought she had returned to her hometown again, so I didn't look for her, but she didn't answer her phone calls and didn't reply to her WeChat messages. After that, I didn't see her when I went to the community again, but I didn't dare to report the crime because I was afraid that Wang Shuang would find out. Because of our relationship, we don’t dare to go to her hometown to find her.”

"But I really didn't kill her. Officer, you have to believe me. She and I have real feelings. What's the point of killing her? I have no reason to do it!"
