Chapter 2439: Tracking

Xu Jiaqi realized it later and didn't understand what it meant.

"How did you escape?"

"He didn't leave at all, but ran to 602."

"Ah? Did you come to this house?" Xu Jiaqi said:

"Could he be the resident of this house?"

"No, he broke into this room and hid."

"Hide?"

Xu Jiaqi, who had no criminal investigation experience, could not fully understand what Lin Yi meant.

"The murderer is very smart. He also knows that the corridor is a confined space. Once he appears here, he will most likely be identified as the murderer, so he opened the door of 602 in advance, and after killing Li Hongzhu, he hid in immediately. In this way, no one can detect him. After a while, when he can come and go normally, he can blend into the crowd and leave without being noticed."

"So that's it!"

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Xu Jiaqi felt suddenly enlightened and a little creepy at the same time.

"The murderer must be too smart, he can even think of such a method."

In Xu Jiaqi's view, this kind of high-IQ crime was just a plot in fiction, and she didn't expect it to happen in the real world.

"Compared with his previous criminal methods, this time is nothing, so don't make a fuss."

"But……"

"You want to say that the murderer didn't have the key, so how could he get in, right?"

Xu Jiaqi nodded.

"In a community of this level, if you want to enter the house, you don't need a key. You will know later." Lin Yi looked around and asked, "Are there any tools in the car? For example, a hammer or something like that?"

"some."

"Bring me the tools and the pockets."

"Brother Lin, this is not good." Xu Jiaqi said:

"If you want to enter the house, we can get the key in a formal way. There is no need to break down the door."

"Hmm? Who said I was going to break down the door." Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded.

"I'm going to smash down this piece of bloody cement, and then take it back for testing and compare it with the deceased's."

"Oh, I understand."

Xu Jiaqi nodded and agreed, and hurriedly went downstairs to get the hammer.

After Xu Jiaqi left, in order to confirm his suspicion, Lin Yi knocked on the door of 602.

As he expected, no one responded after knocking more than a dozen times.

"really……"

Lin Yi muttered, then breathed a sigh of relief.

It really goes with the old saying, as long as it is a crime, there will be evidence.

This is the best proof right now.

Now, combined with all the evidence and clues, Lin Yi was able to determine that the murderer threw the body down after seeing the police.

But he was not very organized. In order to complete the demonstration against the police, he greatly shortened his escape time.

So much so that something went wrong in the panic.

The blood stains on the ground are the best proof.

"Why……"

Lin Yi sighed. If he had thought of this at the time and blocked the corridor as soon as possible, he might have been able to find clues to the murderer.

Not long after, Xu Jiaqi came up with a hammer and a transparent sealed bag in her hand.

Dangdangdang——

Lin Yi took a hammer and hit the ground several times. He easily knocked down the bloody cement and prepared to take it back for testing.

"Brother Lin, do you have to go into the house next?" Xu Jiaqi asked tentatively.

Lin Yi nodded, "I knocked on the door just now, but there was no one inside."

"Then how to get in?"

Lin Yi looked at Xu Jiaqi and said, "Give me your badge."

"Oh, okay."

Xu Jiaqi took off the badge and handed it to Lin Yi's hand.

The latter took off the paper clip from the badge and reached into the door lock.

A few seconds later, there was a "click" and the door of 602 opened.

"Uh-huh?"

Xu Jiaqi stared at Lin Yi in disbelief with her big, beautiful eyes.

"You, you can actually pick locks?!"

"When traveling in the world, you have to know everything."

Xu Jiaqi originally admired Lin Yi because of his good looks.

Even more adoring now.

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Uh-huh."

The two entered the room. The layout was the same as Li Hongzhu's home, but the direction was different.

The house is very neat and tidy, the furnishings are very simple, there are a few old household appliances, and all the signs are in line with the characteristics of a rental house.

"We seem to have guessed correctly." Xu Jiaqi said:

"It's obviously a house for rent. It makes perfect sense for the murderer to hide here to escape the police's pursuit."

Lin Yi nodded and whispered:

"Check the door first. I guess after he kills people, he won't wander around in the house. He will always stand at the door, waiting for an opportunity to leave."

"Yeah, I think so too."

The two searched the area around the door, but disappointingly found nothing.

"It seems like nothing."

"This is the style of a murderer, otherwise he would have been caught long ago."

In fact, finding blood on the ground was enough to make Lin Yi overjoyed.

He didn't expect the killer to leave any other clues.

Just wanted to try my luck.

"Brother Lin, have you ever thought that the risk of him doing this is very high."

"What's the risk?"

"He broke into 602. If someone caught him, maybe someone came to see the house at this time, and the secret would be exposed."

"So, what do you think?"

"He can rent the house in advance, which is safer."

"The risk is greater."

"Why?"

"Actually, you're right. There are risks in breaking in, but renting a house is even more risky." Lin Yi said:

"If we discover how he escaped from the scene, we can follow the clues and find the homeowner or agent, and we can find his information more easily. He will not take such a risk."

Lin Yi looked around, "Think about it again, it's been so long since we entered the house, has anyone been here?"

"It seems right."

"Although both methods have risks, the former is less risky." Lin Yi said:

"But we have to check the possibility you mentioned."

"I'll contact the property management company to see if I can find the owner's information."

"Yeah. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net"

After discussing the remaining matters, the two of them returned to the car downstairs without staying too long.

On the way back, Xu Jiaqi contacted the landlord through the property management company and said that her house was still for rent and had not been rented out.

Based on this statement, Lin Yi's conjecture was perfectly confirmed.

All that's left is to collect more clues.

"Brother Lin, do you want to eat anything? Let's go get something to eat." Xu Jiaqi was a little embarrassed and asked tentatively.

"Let's talk about it later." Lin Yi said seriously.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xu Jiaqi was a little nervous.

"No, it seems like someone is following us."
