Chapter 13
Rubber gloves?
When everyone saw the object in Chen Yan’s hands, they put on a strange expression.
This kid spent so much effort just to find this pair of gloves?
Could it be?
“Captain Zhang,” Chen Yan didn’t waste any time. He held the gloves and put them in an evidence bag, “This should be the pair of gloves that the murderer used last night!”
Huh?
Although everyone already had this guess, how did he find it?
How could he be sure that this was the pair of gloves that the murderer had used at the murder scene?
As if he could see the confusion in everyone’s eyes, Chen Yan scratched his head and took the initiative to explain, “Captain, you know that my nose is quite sharp. There is a special scent of a drug at the murder scene. It should be the smell of Succinylcholine. It’s a very rare muscle relaxant that normally shouldn’t appear in a classroom, but this pair of gloves has the scent!”
Boom!
Chen Yan’s words were like a bomb that made Zhang Yunhu and the others disoriented.
The smell of Succinylcholine?
Other than the smell of blood, they didn’t smell anything at the scene.
Even the nose of a police dog wouldn’t be so sharp!
Moreover, did the boy know what it meant to find the murderer’s gloves?
An ordinary rubber glove like this is airtight and doesn’t absorb sweat. If the murderer did use it, there would definitely be sweat, skin fragments, and even palm prints left behind!
The skinning murder case that they were clueless about might be solved with this!
“Chen Yan! You’ve done a meritorious deed again!” When Zhang Yunhu thought of the possibility of solving the case, he roared in excitement, “This is worth at least an individual third-class merit! I’ll report it for you right now!”
“Captain,” Chen Yan knew the importance of finding this pair of gloves, but based on his analysis of the scene, the murderer shouldn’t have been such a careless person, “It’s also possible that we can’t extract any useful information from these gloves…”
Hahaha!
“Whether it’s useful or not, you’ve done a meritorious deed!” Zhang Yunhu patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, “Send it to be tested immediately!”
…
In the afternoon, a case analysis meeting was being held in the meeting room of the team.
Zhang Yunhu sat at the head seat with a gloomy face.
Chen Yan, who was sitting at the end of the table, knew that his guess had been correct when he saw Zhang Yunhu’s expression.
“The gloves have been deliberately cleaned, but we still detected a blood reaction on the surface,” Zhang Yunhu waved his hand, and the internal staff projected the test report onto the screen.
“But the murderer is very cunning. He should also have worn silk gloves. We did not manage to extract the murderer’s sweat, skin, or palm prints. That being said, Chen Yan was right. Succinylcholine was indeed detected on the gloves, and after the autopsy, we did find the residue of this drug in the victim.”
The clue that they had found led to a dead end.
The murderer was more cunning than everyone had imagined.
“Boss, what should we do now?”
Now?
Zhang Yunhu looked at the subordinate who asked the question and stood up, “Everyone, stand!”
Pa!
With that, all thirteen detectives, including Chen Yan, stood at attention.
“I announce that the Bloody Cross Homicide Task Force has been officially established. After seeking approval from the higher-ups, Comrade Chen Yan will be the task force leader, and I will be the deputy team leader with everyone else as the team members. We must solve the case within seven days!”
Boom!
Zhang Yunhu’s order was like a bolt from the blue.
Chen Yan… would be the task force leader?
What did he mean?
Chen Yan wasn’t an official policeman yet, right?
Not to mention the dumbfounded crowd, even Chen Yan had a confused look on his face.
What the hell? He was the task force leader?
Was Captain Zhang serious?
Was this a time to joke around?
“Captain, I…”
“What’s with calling me ‘Captain’ ?! Didn’t you understand my order just now?”
“We understand!” The twelve men shouted.
To obey orders came first.
No matter how incomprehensible the orders were, they had to carry them out.
“Chen Yan!” Zhang Yun Hu looked at Chen Yan, “Do you understand? !”
Chen Yan knew that this was not the time to ask questions

He stood at attention and saluted!
“I understand!”
“Alright, everyone, take a seat.”
Zhang Yunhu rubbed his temples, “Don’t be too surprised. As police who solve cases, whoever has the ability will be the leader! We have been investigating the scene for the entire morning, but we haven’t had any leads. Yet, Chen Yan just stood there and watched for a while before he found the rubber gloves used to commit the crime. This is his ability. The higher-ups have requested that we solve the case in seven days. If we can’t complete the task by then…”
After listening to Zhang Yunhu’s explanation, everyone couldn’t help but nod.
This was how realistic the police force was.
Solving a case required ability, not rank.
Whoever had the ability would be in charge. If they solved the case, everyone would be fine. If they couldn’t solve the case, the entire unit would suffer.
As for Chen Yan, through the dismemberment and wife-killing case as well as his performance this morning, he had clearly demonstrated his ability.
“Leader Chen,” Zhang Yun Hu looked at Chen Yan again, “We’ll be counting on you next!”
Chen Yan was still a little dumbfounded.
He hadn’t been promoted to an official policeman yet, right?
Yet he had already become the leader of the homicide task force?
Let alone the entire province, he was probably the only one to achieve such a feat in the entire country.
However, this was not the time to shirk.
The higher-ups had given the team seven days to solve the case, but the system had only given him five.
“Captain,” Chen Yan saluted again. “Then, allow me to tell you what I think.”
“Based on the current clues, I suggest that the task force be split into six teams to carry out the work. Before the incident, the school surveillance video suddenly malfunctioned. Team One, find out the reason.”
“The victim’s identity has been confirmed. Lin Chao, a third-year clinical medical student from Lianhai University. Team Two is responsible for investigating Lin Chao’s interpersonal background, interviewing students and teachers, and focusing on understanding Lin Chao’s emotional experience.”
…
After the six teams were all arranged properly, Chen Yan looked at Zhang Yunhu and Liu Qingshan, “Captain Zhang, Master, I’d like to go to the scene again to take a look.”
He had only taken a look at the scene at the periphery in the morning. Although he had activated his olfactory and visual genes, he hadn’t been able to get closer to take a look, so he was afraid that he might have missed something.
Zhang Yunhu and Liu Qingshan nodded.
It was only natural for him to do so.
“Chen Yan, you’re quite good. The arrangements just now were well-organized. You are a talent worth nurturing!” In the car, Zhang Yunhu and Liu Qingshan sat in the back row.
“Captain, don’t make fun of me, please,” Chen Yan, who was sitting in the front row, smiled bitterly, “I was so nervous just now. I was really at my wit’s end. You see, my hands are still trembling now.”
Chen Yan was not lying.
Although he had been a detective in his previous life, he had never been the leader of a task force, nor had he commanded so many people.
He was scared to death.
“Haha, everyone has their first. It will be better with more experience.”
…
In the classroom.
Chen Yan once again inspected the scene.
Human skin cross… kneeling body… wild rose bloodstain pattern!
Since the murderer had deliberately arranged the scene to look like this, it was definitely not without reason.
There must be some internal connection between all of this.
It was the message that the murderer wanted to show the world through the corpse.
But what exactly was this message?
Lin Chao’s background information was very simple. He was just an ordinary university student.
His grades were average, handsome, played basketball well, popular, eloquent, and won the college-level speech competition.
His family was in the city, and his parents were government officials. His family background was also quite clear.
The possibility of a vendetta due to his family background was ruled out.
Chen Yan, who returned to the team, retraced the crime scene over and over again, trying to find some details that he had not noticed.
But he was still clueless.
Ring, ring, ring!
The next morning, the ear-piercing ringtone of the phone woke Chen Yan, who was lying on his desk.
Zhang Yunhu had already taken the call and his face was ashen.
Chen Yan suddenly had a bad premonition, “Captain Zhang, what happened?”
“Lianhai University… Another murder case has happened!”
