Chapter 268 The secret room!

After Jia Dongming watched Xie Jian begin to arrange people to investigate the scene, he used his Eagle Eye skill again and began to investigate valuable clues based on the footprints left by the murderer at the scene.

Based on the murderer's movements, Jia Dongming initially determined that the murderer entered the courtyard by climbing over the wall, and then went directly to the water tank in the murderer's kitchen. This shows that the murderer must have put drugs in the water tank.

After the murderer put the drug in, he hid in the room used to store miscellaneous items in the victim's home. He did not leave the room until the deceased couple was knocked unconscious, and then he came to the main room of the victim's home.

After the murderer entered the main room, he did not kill the victim immediately, but stayed in front of a cabinet in the main room for a while.

Jia Dongming walked to the cabinet, took a look at it, and immediately discovered that there was a secret room behind it.

The discovery of the secret room behind the cabinet and the murderer's behavior of going straight to the kitchen after entering the yard are enough to show that the murderer is very familiar with this yard.

Jia Dongming looked at the cabinet in front of him and began to look for a way to open the secret room. Soon an incense burner on the cabinet caught Jia Dongming's attention.

"Crack!"

Jia Dongming looked at the incense burner in front of him, reached out and pressed it, and turned it gently. A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and the cabinet that was originally closed began to slowly open.

This crisp sound also attracted the attention of Xie Jian and others. When everyone saw the slowly moving wooden cabinet, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

Jia Dongming looked at the secret room in front of him, but did not walk into it immediately. Instead, he stood at the door of the secret room and waited for a few minutes. After the air in the secret room was thoroughly circulated, he reached out and pulled the light cord on the wall and slowly walked into the secret room.

When Jia Dongming walked into the secret room, the first thing that caught his eye was a rising sun flag of Xiao Rizi. Xie Jian, who was following behind Jia Dongming, saw the rising sun flag on the wall and said in shock, "If there hadn't been a murder here, who would have thought that this was Xiao Rizi's secret base."

Jia Dongming looked at the empty, nearly 40-square-meter secret room in front of him, as well as the traces left in the secret room, and said seriously: "It seems that the murderer who killed Chen Jian and his wife may have killed them because an item in this secret room disappeared."

After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Xie Jian immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Deputy Captain Jia! This murderer is so familiar with this yard, could he be the previous owner of this yard?"

After hearing Xie Jian's judgment, Jia Dongming thought carefully for a moment and replied seriously, "Xie Jian! Your suspicion is not without reason. The murderer is so familiar with this yard. In addition to being the original owner of this yard, he must be someone who is very familiar with Chen Jian and his wife. Otherwise, the murderer would not have used drugs on Chen Jian and his wife."

When Xie Jian heard Jia Dongming's answer, he thought of the Rising Sun flag on the wall and immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Deputy Captain Jia! Do you think this couple are enemy spies hiding in our country?"

Jia Dongming heard Xie Jian's suspicion and instinctively glanced at the body on the ground. "Xie Jian! We can't rule out this possibility for now. I'll go find Director Zhao to find out who the earliest owner of this courtyard was. You take two people and search this house carefully. I want to make sure whether these two dead are agents of Xiao Ri Zi or innocent civilians."

When Xie Jian heard Jia Dongming's order, he immediately replied, "Deputy Captain Jia! Make sure you complete the mission."

Jia Dongming walked out of the main hall and came to the yard again. He asked Director Zhao who was waiting for news in the yard: "Director Zhao! How long have Chen Jian and his wife lived here? Is this house their ancestral home? Or did they inherit it from someone else?"

When Director Zhao heard Jia Dongming asking about the house, he carefully recalled it in his mind for a moment, and then he introduced: "Captain Jia! If I remember correctly, Chen Jian and his wife moved here more than three years ago. As for who the previous owner of this yard was, I have to go back to the street office to find out."

After hearing what Director Zhao said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to him, "Director Zhao! Please arrange for someone to check it out, because this matter is very important to the investigation of the case." Director Zhao nodded immediately after learning that the information about the house was actually involved in the investigation of the case, and replied, "Okay! I will go back to the street office in person and help you find out who originally lived in this house and how it ended up in the hands of Chen Jian and his wife."

Because of the discovery of the secret room, Jia Dongming and other directors Zhao immediately activated their Eagle Eye skills and conducted a carpet scan of the courtyard after leaving the courtyard.

Soon, Jia Dongming found a secret compartment under the kitchen water tank, which contained a small box.

When Jia Dongming found the small box under the water tank, he did not move the water tank immediately to take out the box hidden under the water tank. Instead, he turned and walked into the deceased's bedroom and scanned the deceased's bedroom.

Soon Jia Dongming discovered that there was a secret compartment under the deceased's body, which contained two pistols, some cash and bills. Through this discovery, Jia Dongming could almost confirm that the two deceased were enemy spies of Xiao Rizi, which meant that the previous owner of this house should also be an enemy spy of Xiao Rizi.

"Deputy Captain Jia! According to our test results, the couple should have been drugged by psilocybin. Based on the livor mortis, the deceased should have died between 8 and 9 last night." After the forensic doctor performed a preliminary autopsy on the two bodies, they gave Jia Dongming a detailed report of their conclusions.

After hearing the forensic doctor's report and thinking about the couple's identities, Jia Dongming said to the forensic doctor in a serious tone, "We are not sure yet whether the couple are enemy spies. Now you should send the bodies to the morgue for safekeeping. The rest of you should follow me and conduct a carpet search of this yard."

Ten minutes later, with the help of the street office staff, the two bodies were carried out of the yard one after the other. Jia Dongming walked to the gate of the yard, glanced at the uncles and aunts guarding the gate, and said loudly: "Dear uncles and aunts! There is nothing to see here, everyone should disperse."

"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau! Director Chen and his wife are good people. How could they be killed? You must find the murderer as soon as possible and avenge Director Chen and his wife." When an old lady heard Jia Dongming's words and thought of the character of Chen Jian and his wife, she immediately asked Jia Dongming to avenge them.

When Jia Dongming heard the old lady's request, he smiled and said to her, "Auntie! Don't worry, our Public Security Bureau will not let any bad guy go, nor will we wrongly accuse a good person."

After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, the old lady nodded in satisfaction and shouted to the crowd around her: "Dear neighbors! If you all stay here, it will affect the police's investigation. Let's all go!"

The curious people, after hearing what the old lady said, realized that there was nothing to see here, so they went home together.

After Jia Dongming sent the onlookers away, he turned and walked into the yard, where he met Xie Jian coming out of the main room.

When Xie Jian saw Jia Dongming and thought of their discovery, he excitedly reported to Jia Dongming, "Deputy Captain Jia! We found a secret compartment on the deceased's kang, which contained two pistols, 100 rounds of bullets, more than 1,000 yuan in cash, and some bills. It seems that this couple must be secret agents living a small life."

Jia Dongming had discovered the hidden things on the kang from the beginning. Facing Xie Jian's report, Jia Dongming pretended to be surprised and said, "Xie Jian! If this couple are enemy spies, then the original owner of this house should also be an enemy spy."

"The first possibility is that the couple stayed here to guard the things in the secret room. As a result, the original owner of this house found that the things in the secret room were missing, so he was killed."

"Another possibility is that these enemy spies had a conflict over the things in this secret room, and were silenced by the original owner of the house."

After hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Xie Jian thought of the empty secret room, nodded in agreement, and asked Jia Dongming, "Deputy Captain Jia! Do you want to notify the Anti-Special Forces and let them investigate this case?"
