[Innocent Murderer 12] Chapter 12 - Provocation

"Some places are really strange." Gong Sun, who hurried over to do a simple autopsy, said with a frown.

"What's so strange?" Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang leaned over in confusion.

"Look here." While saying that, Gong Sun pointed to the zipper behind Pang XiaoQin's evening dress.

"What is that?" Bai YuTang stared at the zipper, and saw a small pink patch on the delicate black zipper, and it is sparkling too.

"It's nail polish." Gong Sun raised the dead corpse's hand to show Bai YuTang, and they saw that on Pang XiaoQin's fingernails, the pink nail polish was the same as the one on the zipper, and... On the middle finger of the right hand, a piece was clearly scraped off, which should be the piece that rubbed against the zipper.

"What does this mean?" Bai YuTang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other.

Gong Sun shook his head helplessly. He waved to a female colleague from the forensic department "Have a look, is there anything strange?"

"Very strange!" The female colleague touched her chin and nodded "This kind of nail polish takes a very long time to dry, it need at least fifteen minutes... The current situation is that Pang XiaoQin put on the evening dress without waiting for the nail polish to dry."

The group of men at the scene nodded together, humbly being taught —— The analysis makes sense.

"But... At a glance, her dress is very expensive. Most people will wear clothes first and then apply nail polish." The female forensic officer said seriously "Just think about it, if the nail polish is not dry when you wear the dress, then you will either scratch your nails or get your clothes dirty, which doesn't make sense."

"Of course, when a woman is wearing a formal dress, she either wait until the clothes are fully worn, and then apply the nail polish, or wait for the nail polish to dry before putting on the clothes."

"That is to say, Pang XiaoQin originally wanted to wait for the nail polish to dry before wearing it, but then something happened, so she had to put on the dress in a hurry." Bai YuTang nodded "It's indeed really strange. People like Pang XiaoQin attending a grand banquet, how could she allow herself to have this kind of nails?"

"There's something very strange too." Zhan Zhao looked around "There is absolutely no sign of struggle or fighting at this scene..." Having said that, Zhan Zhao suddenly frowned, he seems to be thinking of something.

"What's wrong, Mao Er?" Bai YuTang felt that something was wrong with Zhan Zhao, and asked "What did you find?"

"I'm going to watch the surveillance video again!" Zhan Zhao ran back to the surveillance room after saying that, he rewinded the video, and repeatedly watching the murderer tapping the card on the room door.

"Look here!" Zhan Zhao pointed at the doorknob in the video "Look!"

Bai YuTang leaned closer and stared at the doorknob, then suddenly took a deep breath "Before his hand touched the doorknob, the doorknob moved!"

"And look!" Zhan Zhao pointed at the face of the man in black and said "Although his face was covered by a mask, it can still be seen that he nodded slightly."

"An LingLi knew he would come!" Bai YuTang frowned "According to Pang XiaoQin's actions later on... She knows the murderer, and they have a good relationship!"

"Oh, what is their relationship?!" Zhao Hu scratched his head "It's so messy!"

"Right." Wang Chao also nodded "There must be a reason for murder. To make people like this, it's not good to say this but, the hatred has caught up with the revenge of killing... But now there's everything, but there is no motive!"
