Genius Detective-Chapter 952: New Witness

After reaching this conclusion, Lin Dongxue and Tao Yueyue immediately rushed to the stairway and searched under the stairs extensively, but found nothing. Lin Dongxue said, "It’s estimated that the things that fell here have already been picked up."

"What would fall here?" Tao Yueyue looked at the stairs. "There was dust on the deceased, his skull was fractured, but his ribs weren’t broken. Is it possible that he actually rolled down the stairs in a ball?"

"It's completely possible!" Lin Dongxue thought of this when they first talked about the stairs.

"That screenwriter is the murderer?" To be honest, Tao Yueyue was unwilling to admit this because the screenwriter uncle took care of them everywhere they went and he was an amiable person.

"Then it depends on what the appraisal results say. By the way, I'll ask them to check here too!"

"You don't think it’ll alert him?"

"No, I will tell them to keep a low profile." Lin Dongxue looked at her watch. "They should be coming soon. Let's go outside to meet them!"

The two walked out together. Tao Yueyue said, "The key question is that it was clearly him falling to his death on the stairs. Why did it become a suspicious fall from a building? There must be a trick in this."

"Haha, the terminology of a mystery novel. What ideas do you have, little genius detective?"

Tao Yueyue lowered her head and said nothing. She had a vague assumption, but the details weren’t very clear. The feeling was as if she knew the truth was ready to come out, but it was lacking a bit of momentum.

Arriving outside, Tao Yueyue looked up, thinking about how the murderer did it.

After a while, the police car arrived. They were all colleagues from the bureau carrying the survey box into the building. They asked Lin Dongxue, "Was the crew fun to be with?", "Have you taken photos with celebrities?"

"You will see real stars in a moment." Lin Dongxue smiled.

The two led several forensic police officers to collect the biological information of those involved in the crime. Lin Dongxue also arranged for four people to go to the stairs and conference room to investigate, and check the dummy while they were at it.f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

When knocking on the door one by one, Lin Dongxue said, "No, the screenwriter was the first to run out last night. He couldn't be upstairs at all."

Tao Yueyue said calmly, "I think this is also part of the trick."

"Haha." Lin Dongxue rubbed her head, "On one hand, you don't want him to be a murderer, but on the other you’re desperately thinking about how he did it."

"It’s the charm of the truth!" Tao Yueyue also smiled. "Sister Lin, when we see the screenwriter in a moment, I want to sneak in and investigate."

"Okay, I will draw his attention away."

Knocking on the screenwriter's door, Lin Dongxue said to the screenwriter, "We want to collect your fingerprints and DNA."

"Okay, okay, do you need to draw blood?"

"No, let's go inside."

"Please come in."

Entering the house, Lin Dongxue smelled a stinky smell. The screenwriter laughed, "I have a bad habit. I keep smoking while writing. It must be unpleasant inside the house, right? I'll go open the window."𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

"No need..." Lin Dongxue saw the computer on the desk was turned on with documents on it. "Are you writing a new script?"

"Yes, it's a historical drama."

"Wow, your business is so broad working on both modern and historical scripts."

"I’m flattered. It’s actually almost there. I just finished the draft. I asked other screenwriters to help me revise and polish it. It’s not much to write. Revising is the most terrible thing. I don't know how many times I’ve had to revise a script. It can really be changed so much I’d want to vomit blood."

Lin Dongxue asked unexpectedly, "Did someone ask you to revise the script yesterday?"

"Uh..." The screenwriter was taken aback. "No, the script for this play has already been written, and there’s no need to change it."

While they were talking, Tao Yueyue slid to the window to investigate, but found nothing unusual. She lay on the floor again and saw an aluminum telescopic rod under the bed. After a quick glance, she quickly stood up and went back to Lin Dongxue.

After collecting his biological information, the police bid him goodbye. The screenwriter sent them to the door and waved at Tao Yueyue with a smile. Tao Yueyue also smiled and nodded at him.

Lin Dongxue asked in a low voice, "Were there any discoveries, little genius detective?"

"An aluminum stick. I don't know what it’s used for."

Busying themselves until noon, the police excitedly discussed that they had just met Cai Zhengkai and Xia Xiaolou. The producer approached them and said, "You’ve all worked hard. I want to invite everyone to have a meal to show you my appreciation."

Lin Dongxue said, "We receive your good intentions with our hearts. When investigating cases, we have to keep a proper distance!"

"I just want to know how the current progress is?"

"We've been working the whole time. I will let you know when there’s a result, okay?"

The producer sighed and was about to leave. Lin Dongxue suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Producer, I have a question for you."

"Oh? Go ahead."

"Does Little Ai often modify the script?"

"It’s not that often. He’s actually responsible for reading the script."

"I thought you changed it."

"No, no, no, I'm so busy with work, I don't have time to read this. Until now, I don't even know what the protagonist of this film is called. He’s performing in the movie himself, so he’ll change it himself… Haii, no one will play the changed script now." Thinking of his dead son, the producer sighed.

After the producer left, Lin Dongxue pointed to his back. "This person claims to have a father-son relationship with the deceased. Remember to check his DNA."

After lunch, the forensic officers went back first. As they were leaving, they asked, "Captain Chen asked if they need to send over a few more people? Can you solve this case by yourself?"

Lin Dongxue patted Tao Yueyue. "What does he mean by myself? Isn't there a clever Yueyue here as well? Tell him to wait for our good news!"

Tao Yueyue said, "Uncle, I have a request. Can I please have a dummy?"

"Oh?!" The forensics officer patted his forehead. "If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten. I brought you a dummy for testing. I put it in the trunk of the car. I’ll go get it for you."

After getting the dummy, Tao Yueyue said disappointedly, "Why is it so ugly?"

The forensics officer answered, "It's not used to make movies, so why do you need it to look so good? Look, this dummy is hollow, and you can put some water bags inside to increase the weight."

"I know how to use it." Lin Dongxue said.

The forensics officer said goodbye and Tao Yueyue hugged the dummy in deep thought. She asked, "How long will it take to get results?"

"It can be a week long, or a day or two at least."

"My vacation isn’t that long. I’ll have to go back to school the day after tomorrow."

"I'll urge them for you... Now we just need to wait. Let's go back to the house and rest for a while!"

"Okay!"

When they returned to their room, a cleaning lady stood there and asked timidly, "Are you the police officers?"

"I am."

"My colleague said that you’re investigating the death of the person last night. In fact, I have something to say. I may have seen that person commit suicide."

"What are you talking about? Suicide?"

"Yes, when I was cleaning that floor last night, I saw a man sitting on the window. I was frightened. I couldn’t call out before he fell. To be honest, it’s the first time in my long life that I’ve seen someone jump off a building. It frightened me quite a bit. I’ve been restless even when I returned to the dormitory. That scene recurred over and over again in my mind. I couldn’t decide whether to call the police or not. Later, my colleague said that the police were already investigating it. Just now, I saw you going around questioning people in each room, so I figured that you probably didn’t know that the man committed suicide. That’s why I came over to tell you."
