"What are you guys looking at?"
Luo Fei leaned in to see what they were gathering around in the corner, and upon seeing it clearly, he also felt a bit awkward.
Unexpectedly, it was a few packets of condoms, and judging by the looks of it, they were just opened last night. One was already torn, while the others remained relatively intact.
Such items appearing here aren't unusual; it's understandable.
However, the topic of discussion among Liao Xingyu and the others caught Luo Fei's attention.
"Why are these here? Why not in a hidden corner but in such an obvious spot!"
"Hard to say, maybe they were caught in the act. You know how youngsters these days like to spice things up."
"Spice things up? They should at least take the stuff with them."
"It's sothing special that should be used in a proper setting. Just leaving it here might cause misunderstandings. Could it be that things didn't go as planned, leading to conflict?"
"Heh heh heh, can't rule out the possibility. Seems soone had a rough ti in love."
Zhang Wei's concluding remark made everyone laugh.
Although Luo Fei was trying to think seriously, he couldn't help but laugh along.
Despite the awkward placent of the items, they certainly fit the the of a nightclub. However, their proximity to the cri scene raised suspicions.
"Do you think the deaths of those two won might be connected to these things? There might be fingerprints on them!"
"Good point! Take them back."
After collecting the evidence, everyone began discussing the situation of the two victims.
According to the preliminary autopsy results from the forensic departnt, they had multiple incisions on their bodies, with gaping wounds, but the blood loss was not fatal.
The real killer was the severed major arteries at the wrists and neck!
The excessive blood loss eventually led to death by shock.
And before the lethal wounds, they had been subjected to multiple knife assaults, indicating a motive of hatred rather than a cold-blooded killer.
"When I saw the bodies last night, I felt sothing was off. They could have been killed with a single strike, but instead, there were multiple wounds with inconsistent force. Not the act of a professional killer, more like soone with a grudge."
Luo Fei recalled his thoughts when he first encountered the bodies, and everyone nodded in agreent.
When bringing them back to the station, they also noticed that the sight of the corpses was unbearable.
"However, since they were found outside the bar, it at least proves they weren't just passing by. Let's check the surveillance footage."
"Perhaps by checking who they were with or who appeared near them, we can narrow down the suspect pool. After all, two won being followed seems plausible."
Thus, the task of reviewing the footage fell to Lin Jie and his team.
Luo Fei and the rest went to the victims' company to gather more information.
Given the situation at the cri scene, none of their valuables were taken, reducing one suspicion point.
From ssages found on their phones, it was apparent that they often went to nightclubs with company colleagues.
Thus, everyone involved in the case needed to be investigated.
But upon arriving at the company, Luo Fei and the others discovered that Liu Qianyu and Liu Fangfang didn't have a good reputation there.
When people talked about the two, there was a hint of disdain in their words.
"Those two, huh, never stay ho, always drinking or clubbing, like they live in the nightclub."
"We sotis go to bars for gatherings too, but they are regulars at the club, always posting selfies in their circles, an endless list of male acquaintances..."
"At most, we hang out for fun, never too close. They're unreliable, sotis drinking so much they miss work in the morning. Even the supervisor talked to them, but no one listened."
Even when asked separately, Luo Fei received the sa responses everywhere.
Despite the not-so-great opinions, people still expressed regret over their deaths, as colleagues often distinguish between personal feelings and professional relationships.
After one round of inquiries, Luo Fei and the others went to a café downstairs.
Li Jun went to order drinks while the rest began discussing.
"Have you noticed? These two were die-hard clubbers, so whoever killed them knew they could be found there and decided to strike behind the club. Otherwise, they would have chosen another spot."
"Yeah, makes sense, but the killer was also there. Could he be a regular too?"
"Can't rule out the possibility. Perhaps there was already conflict, and killing them behind the club in such a chaotic place would make it harder to pinpoint a suspect."
"Probably not. Rather than reducing suspicion, wouldn't it be more effective to take the bodies away and dispose of them? That would delay the investigation more."
As they discussed, they found the case becoming increasingly complicated.
The killer's motive and identity seed elusive, relying solely on their investigative intuition and speculative reasoning, leading to low efficiency in solving the case.
"Let's wait for word from Lin Jie. Maybe they've found sothing."
They sat in the café, sipping coffee. The personal backgrounds of the two victims were mostly clear; what was needed now were their records from the nightclub.
