Chapter 281 Climbing Trees

Officers don't think anyone was going in or out of the murder scene through the windows.

Although the apartment floors here are very low, the property management is strict. The security guards often ride electric two-wheeled self-balancing vehicles to patrol, and every intersection is monitored. It is almost impossible for burglary and murder to happen.

There were no signs of the doors and windows being forcibly pried open, so Gu Yan was still the most suspected person.

Mu Zi gently opened the drawer of the dressing table, there were some cosmetics and some jewelry inside, piled up in a mess.

The clothes in the bedroom were also scattered and disorderly. The sofa, the foot of the bed, and the hangers were full of clothes, and there were several shopping bags filled with new clothes piled up by the wall.

Mu Zi thought: the deceased did not seem to be a tidy person.

There is a large four-door wardrobe in the room.

Because the deceased Wu Xinhan was a model, she had so many clothes that half of the closet was full, and the other side was a little empty, with only a few coats hanging.

Mu Zi picked up a handkerchief from a corner of the closet, rubbed it gently with her fingertips, and tilted her head in thought.

"Is there any question?" Qu Mingjun leaned over and asked.

"I don't know." Mu Zi frowned slightly, pinching the corner of the handkerchief and said in a low voice, "I just feel... that this thing appears here, it feels a bit out of place."

"It's a little strange..." Qu Mingjun looked at the handkerchief and muttered, "Who would use a handkerchief these days? Don't they just use paper towels?"

Mu Zi said: "Some people are more accustomed to using handkerchiefs, but... People who are accustomed to using handkerchiefs usually don't only have one handkerchief, but should have more than two, so that they can be used interchangeably on weekdays."

She looked around and shrugged, "There's only one handkerchief here."

"Could it be left by the murderer?" Qu Mingjun scratched his head, feeling unbelievable, "But why did the murderer bring a handkerchief when he came to kill?...Could it be in the closet? For example...a gift from buying clothes?"

"I don't know yet." Mu Zi raised the handkerchief, turned to ask the police officer, "Can we take this away?"

The police officer replied kindly: "According to the rules, it is not allowed, but Manager Tong has ordered you to give convenience to the two of you. I will just go back to the branch and make a report. This place has been searched countless times, and the rest of the things will be taken away." Two things shouldn't be a problem."

If you really want to follow the rules, not to mention taking away the evidence at the scene of the crime, even on-site investigation is not allowed. After all, Qu Mingjun is just a lawyer, not a detective.

Mu Zi put the handkerchief into a ziplock bag, and looked around the room again. The evidence that can be taken away is basically recorded in the case files, and there are no valuable discoveries in the room.

After they left the apartment, Mu Zi walked around to the place under the window, where there was a flat green belt without any traces of trampling on it.

She looked up at the big trees nearby, and couldn't help saying: "The trees here are very tall."

Qu Mingjun had an idea and said, "If the murderer left from the tree, wouldn't he be able to avoid the surveillance cameras?"

The police officer laughed and said, "Unless he is an acrobat and can't get down from a tree all his life, he will still be caught by surveillance!"

Mu Zi frowned, thought for a while, and asked Qu Mingjun, "Can you climb up?"

Qu Mingjun was stunned: "Me?!"

"Yeah." Mu Zi nodded, "Climb up and try."

There is still a little expectation in the eyes.

...

Five minutes later, Qu Mingjun came down from the tree in embarrassment.

The police officer couldn't help laughing: "Lawyer Qu, you should pay more attention to exercise!"

Qu Mingjun blushed, he climbed...about fifty centimeters.

The police officer's physical fitness is obviously much stronger than that of Qu Mingjun. He climbed up to the height of a two-story building in one breath, but the tree trunk is thick and lacks a strong point, so it is not so easy to climb up. It's still a long way from the fourth floor.

"I think, let's check the surveillance video, shall we?" Qu Mingjun suggested with a shy expression, "Looking through the trash can is fine too..."

Just don't make him climb trees again...
