Chapter 542 - 546: Clues and Traces [1]
"But I just saw you staring at your own car," Luo Xiaoqian said, with a puzzled look on her face.
"He’s been to the scene, he must have measured the extent of the damage to the railing, and just now, he was speculating about the height of the car’s rear end," Leng Zimo explained.
"Exactly!" Leng Zirui turned and walked toward the hall door with the two of them, "I’ve thoroughly inspected the damaged railing. The railing was severely damaged. The person leaving must have been in a great panic, otherwise they wouldn’t have left behind the check on Lu Hao’s body. There was a bit of white car paint on the railing where it was struck, which led me to conclude it was a domestic white car. From there, I used the height of the car to deduce that it was not an off-road vehicle, but likely a sedan or a sports car."
"How can you be so sure it’s definitely a white luxury sports car then?" Luo Xiaoqian pressed.
Leng Zirui shrugged his shoulders, "It’s quite simple, the ground clearance of a sedan and a sports car varies greatly. There was also slight damage on the curb near the railing, which shows that this car’s ground clearance is quite low. The performance of the car varies, and so do the impact and the degree of damage to the car paint. That’s why I’ve come to this conclusion."
"That’s so impressive!" Luo Xiaoqian breathed out in admiration.
It sounded simple coming from him, but she knew very well that all this required not only meticulous observation but also very decisive judgment and analytical skills. Even Old Zhao, the veteran detective, had not noticed these details, but Leng Zirui did, which was enough to show that this young man’s intelligence was far superior to the average person.
"He’s from a detective background. If he couldn’t see that much, he would’ve been kicked out by the military a long time ago!" Leng Zimo didn’t hesitate to expose his younger brother’s background.
"Do you guys have drills then?" Luo Xiaoqian asked curiously, as her own father was a man like Leng Zimo, and she was always fascinated by their lives.
"Of course!" Leng Zirui winked ambiguously, a devilish smile on his face, "Next time there’s a chance, I’ll take you to join our training and experience our lifestyle."
Before Luo Xiaoqian could reply, Leng Zimo spoke up dominantly, "You can go get eaten by mosquitoes yourself, my wife doesn’t have the time!"
"See that, sister-in-law? I’m telling you, it’s exhausting to live with such a jealous jar," Leng Zirui shot Xiao Qian a flirty wink, "So, are you coming to join my camp? My doors are always open for you!"
Leng Zimo pulled out his trump card, "I have a partner’s daughter who’s very fond of you guys. How about I arrange a blind date for you?"
"I’m busy helping sister-in-law find the killer, where do I have time for blind dates!" Leng Zirui quickly shifted the topic, "Sister-in-law, please take a seat on the sofa, let’s talk business. Think carefully, do you or your family have any enemies?"
Aunt Su had already brought over fruit and juice, and the three sat down on the sofa.
Naturally, Leng Zirui tactfully took the single seat, leaving the larger sofa for someone who was acting like a jealous jar.
Luo Xiaoqian shook her head gently, "I really can’t think of anyone."
"And you’re the head of the Eagle Falcon Squad!" Leng Zimo threw her a disdainful look, "The camera at the crime scene was broken, but are you saying all the cameras at the nearby intersections are out too? Since you know it’s a white sports car, if you just carefully look for the same type of car that passed through nearby at the time, it’s not hard to find a lead."
"You think you’re smart!" Leng Zirui picked up an apple, took a big bite, and glanced at him with contempt, "The rain was too heavy, the video footage was so unclear it was impossible to see anything useful. Otherwise, I would have gone to catch the killer already, and wouldn’t have the time to sit here chatting with you!"
