Ms. Wang lowered her head, and Zhu Lan saw something shining not far behind her through the back of her head. There was something glowing golden lying on the top of the display cabinet next to the TV. The thing was pointed directly at her, only a head could be seen, and its tail and body almost coincided with the object's head.
It suddenly appeared on the top of the cabinet, quietly, as if it had never existed a moment ago.
The bright white light in the living room couldn't suppress the golden luster, as if it was shining out on purpose, making it unstoppable.
Zhu Lan stood up, her throat rolled, "Then, what is that?"
Lao Sun also turned his head and looked over, and then saw the object.
It lay facing them.
They stared at it closely without blinking, always feeling that it was too dazzling.
Finally, the strange looks from the two people caught Ms. Wang's attention. She was surprised and said, "What's wrong?" But when she turned her eyes away, her expression froze.
"What is that? Why did I never know about it?"
She took a step.
However, the next second, Lao Sun had already taken the lead. Following the silent call, she moved a low stool and stepped on it to observe the thing.
After some inspection, she found that it was a gold knife sheath with a faint golden luster (later changed to a scabbard). Exquisite style, superb craftsmanship, like a luxury style I have seen somewhere.
She was about to reach out and touch it, but she stopped the next second, "It's so similar."
Ms. Wang followed closely, her eyes almost unable to move, "Why is it here?" But her shock was all written on her expression.
"Why, have you seen it?" Zhu Lan looked at her in disbelief, then moved closer to observe.
Ms. Wang denied again, "I, I haven't seen it."
"Really?" Zhu Lan asked.
Lao Sun stared at the golden scabbard and looked around, feeling more and more familiar with the scabbard. At the same time, Zhu Lan happened to cast her gaze over, their eyes met, and they were both puzzled.
Zhu Lan looked at her master.
Lao Sun thought for a while and asked Ms. Wang: "What you just meant was that it wasn't on the top of the display cabinet before?"
"There wasn't that thing on the top of the display cabinet before. I've never seen that thing."
Lao Sun couldn't deny this, "Then what did you mean just now?"
"I made a mistake."
"This thing belongs to Song Xiaofan, right?" Lao Sun said. She suspected that the scabbard fit a certain object very well!
Seeing the policeman's nervous eyes, Ms. Wang thought for a moment and shook her head, "Xiaofan doesn't have that thing. What I just meant is that I don't know why that thing is in my house."
"At your home or on your display cabinet?" Lao Sun asked.
"Huh? What?"
"You don't know why that thing is at your home, or you don't know why that thing is on the display cabinet at your home?" Zhu Lan asked helpfully.
Ms. Wang suddenly became nervous, "What's the difference?"
"Of course! If you have a question about the first question, it means you haven't seen that thing before. But if you have a question about the second question, it means you have seen it somewhere other than a display case." Zhu Lan said.
"Where do you mean the place other than the display cabinet?" Ms. Wang asked.
"Anywhere other than the display cabinet or anywhere other than your home." Zhu Lan sneered.
Lao Sun looked left and right, his doubts growing. She felt that the decoration on the scabbard was very similar to the golden switchblade found at the murder scene. Although she could not remember the intricate patterns on the golden switchblade, the scabbard evoked a sense of familiarity in her mind.
That bloody knife, that golden switchblade that shimmered with golden light gave her a huge impact. So when she saw this scabbard, she felt something strange in her heart.
She asked Zhu Lan to go up and take a look, and asked, "Is that it?"
"Hmm, it looks very similar!" Zhu Lan also felt this way. After all, she was the first person to discover this scabbard.
Ms. Wang's body trembled involuntarily, "What? What is it?"
There was silence, deathly silence.
Her voice changed, and she spoke in an incredible tone, "What is it like? Tell me!"
Lao Sun asked: "Disciple, are you sure?"
Zhu Lan spoke in time: "Master, I'm sure, and the decorations are exactly the same!"
"really?"
"It's absolutely true!" Zhu Lan said.
Lao Sun turned to Ms. Wang, "Have you really never seen this scabbard?"
"No." Ms. Wang became impatient and her voice became cold.
"Then why are you so surprised?"
"I, I just haven't seen it before, so..." Ms. Wang stopped abruptly.
"Impossible, aren't you surprised because you don't know why it appeared on the top of the display cabinet?" Lao Sun's tone was very determined.
Ms. Wang shook her head.
Lao Sun also wanted to give her one last chance, "Ms. Wang, I advise you that any citizen has the obligation to cooperate with the investigation of the case. I hope you will not shield anyone, nor tell lies."
Zhu Lan beside her nodded crazily.
They stared at Ms. Wang closely, waiting for her answer.
However, Ms. Wang would eventually disappoint them. She shook her head again, "I have never seen this scabbard! Let alone who it belongs to."
Old Sun didn't accept this trick, and now she had every reason to suspect that the scabbard was the murder weapon at the death scene of the deceased Zhang Zhen - a golden switchblade!
She thought for a while and asked Ms. Wang: "What you just meant was that it wasn't on the top of the display cabinet before?"
"There wasn't that thing on the top of the display cabinet before. I've never seen that thing."
Lao Sun found that the top of the cabinet had been wiped spotless. She asked, "Ms. Wang, how often do you clean the top of the cabinet?"
"A week," she said.
"So when was the last time you cleaned the top of the cabinets?"
"a week ago."
Lao Sun looked around the living room and house, and suddenly found something missing, "Liu - where is your boyfriend?" Originally, she wanted to call Liu Hu by his first name, but when she thought about it, Ms. Wang had never told her her boyfriend's name. , so she changed her tune decisively.
Ms. Wang frowned and said resentfully, "Who knows that guy? He often appears and disappears. He is next to me for a while, and then disappears again."
Lao Sun was a little surprised.
So she immediately looked carefully at the scabbard again, this time not looking down at the scabbard, but looking straight up at it. Although her eyesight could not keep up with the high-tech trace inspection, she had an idea in her mind.
"Hey! Xiao Li, come to Song Xiaofan's house immediately and bring the necessary tools." She took out her mobile phone and called the staff of the Trace Inspection Technology Department.
"Captain Sun, what happened?" Xiao Li asked.
"Come soon." Lao Sun hung up the phone.
About half an hour later, Xiao Li arrived at Song Xiaofan's house.
As soon as he walked in, Lao Sun asked him to check the scabbard and the dust marks on the top of the cabinet. Xiao Li moved quickly and immediately inspected the scene. Then he took out the evidence bag and stuffed the scabbard into the evidence bag.
After trace inspection, Xiao Li got a surprising clue!
