Chapter 1188: Chapter 607: Physical Evidence Doesn’t Lie! (Part 2)

Walking out of the office of the Traffic Police Accident Department, Qin Feng was secretly praying, hoping that the vehicle used in the crime was that small truck, otherwise – Guangling’s vehicle inventory amounted to hundreds of thousands.

If the search had to be placed among these hundreds of thousands of samples to find the possible transport tool, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Meanwhile, in the office of Director Yang Tao at the Public Security Bureau, he had just received a phone call from the higher leadership.

The main topic brought up was the recent widely discussed matter online regarding three bodies discovered in the mountains.

Director Yang Tao hastily explained over the phone, but ended up being criticized, accused of being ineffective since no perpetrator has been found for such a long time and the online public opinion hasn’t been quelled.

Thus, after hanging up the phone, his face was extremely unpleasant.

Immediately after, he picked up another phone and dialed the extension: “Come to my office.”

Two minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked into Director Yang’s office.

As soon as he came in, Director Yang asked with an unhappy face: “How is the case about the three bodies on the hillside progressing?”

The man opposite, the office director, quickly adjusted his glasses and answered: “Director Yang, after our… the information I learned when I was off work today is that the case hasn’t been solved yet, and it seems there isn’t a clear suspect.”

At this moment, it was already late at night, Director Yang originally planned to rest, but suddenly encountering this situation, he was instantly wide-awake.

He rubbed his brow swiftly and said deeply: “What is the Criminal Investigation Team doing? Usually, the team I put the most manpower and resources into is the Criminal Investigation Team, how come they lose their drive in front of a murder case?”

At this moment, the office director soothed: “Director Yang, you don’t need to be too anxious.”

“The Criminal Investigation Team is under the charge of Vice Director Chen, and Captain Qin Feng is quite dedicated, I believe they are certainly accelerating the pace of solving the case.”

“Accelerating the pace of solving the case? Is this their attitude towards solving the case? The case has dragged on for so long and has left us in a passive position.”

“How to quell the online public opinion? If this case cannot be well investigated by tomorrow, then perhaps there will be even greater public opinion emerging, how are we going to quell it then?”

After a slight pause, he said deeply: “I think for a Criminal Investigation Team leader like this, it’s time to consider whether he’s competent.”

“If he can’t do the job, then we replace him with someone else, originally the current cadre system is such that capable ones are promoted, incompetent ones are demoted, replace where necessary.”

The office director standing opposite, watching his big fit of anger, could only step forward and comfort: “Director Yang, how about this, I’ll inform them first thing tomorrow morning, let them come early to report the investigation progress to you, this way you’ll have a grasp of the specifics.”

“Alright, have them come over first thing tomorrow morning, otherwise I can’t sleep peacefully.”

At this moment, in the courtyard where the Traffic Police Accident Department parked vehicles, eight scene investigation officers were inside and outside the truck, dividing into two rows, four people in each row, conducting thorough examinations.

Following Qin Feng’s instructions, they first observed with naked eyes, then used Luminol for spraying.

Twenty minutes later, they had completed the first round of visual inspection.

When the two rows of personnel returned simultaneously from the far end of the cargo box to the rear end, Qin Feng asked: “How is it? Is there any conclusion now?”

The eight men shook their heads: “At least at the moment, nothing can be seen with the naked eye.”

“Immediately use the Luminol reagent for screening, ensure comprehensive and seamless spraying, not just the surface of the cargo box, even the sides and top must be sprayed, we don’t know where the bloodstains might be.”

As the words fell, the four scene investigation team members each took a Luminol reagent and began entering the cargo box.

They clearly divided the work: one person sprayed the floor, one person checked the top of the box truck, with the other two spraying each side respectively.

Ten minutes later, the four people completed spraying.

Then one of them said: “Mr. Qin, the Luminol reagent needs to be left for 15 minutes after spraying, we have to wait 15 minutes before we can observe.”

“Alright, no problem, we’ll wait.”

Quickly, 15 minutes passed.

One of the leading scene investigation officers said: “Everyone, please turn off the lights.”

“Luminol reagent exhibits a blue fluorescent reaction, at this time we must turn off the lights to observe.”

Soon, several people turned the lights off, two scene investigation officers entered the box truck again side by side to observe.

Before reaching the middle section, they found at the front end near the bottom right side, at the junction of the side and the bottom, indeed there was a slight fluorescent reaction, though very faint.

Then they excitedly said to Qin Feng: “Mr. Qin, we’ve got results!”

Qin Feng was also very excited at this time, quickly walked into the site within the box truck, observed, and immediately ordered: “Extract, send to the lab for testing, see if it’s the bloodstain from the three deceased!”

Soon, everyone was actively extracting this physical evidence.

Because currently the discovery was not just a physical proof, but also an opportunity and direction for a major breakthrough in the case.

The efficiency was very fast, some people took swabs to extract, while others picked up evidence bags for packing and marking.

Thirty minutes later, they returned to the Forensic Laboratory of the Criminal Investigation Team, immediately handed the extracted trace evidence to the on-duty DNA analysis personnel.

Qin Feng instructed: “Immediately perform qualitative testing on this evidence.”

“Get the results out first thing, see which of the three deceased this bloodstain matches.”

Typically, they should leave the forensic lab and wait for results after submission, but at this moment, Qin Feng was very excited internally, he only wanted to wait quietly for the outcome here.

Less than half an hour later, a police officer in a white lab coat came out, saying: “Mr. Qin, after my analysis, it has been confirmed, this submitted evidence is a bloodstain and it completely matches Zhang Fei’s genetic type.”

Upon hearing the news, Qin Feng was immediately overjoyed, turned around and looked at his team members beside him, saying: “Guys, tonight our efforts weren’t in vain.

“Zhang Fei’s head had a comminuted depressed fracture, according to the forensic analysis, it’s possible he was bleeding at the time, now that we’ve found his bloodstain inside the truck, it further proves this vehicle was the one used to transport the body, and his head continued bleeding during the transportation.

“Let’s go find Li Chuang, this time I’d like to see how he’s going to evade!”

On the way downstairs, he immediately reported this news to Mr. Chen, Director Hou, and He Jiang’an.

Upon hearing the news, the trio immediately rushed to the observation room of the interrogation chamber.

Five minutes later, Qin Feng and a police officer walked into the interrogation room.

Sitting inside, Li Chuang saw them enter and said with a face of disdain: “So, when are you going to let me out?”

“Out? No way.”

“What, trying to frame me?”

“Frame you? Let me tell you, we’ve already found evidence of you committing murder and transporting the body.”

“Officer, you can’t just say that, I’m just someone transporting furniture, not the deceased, that work is so unlucky.”

“Unlucky? We’ve found Zhang Fei’s bloodstain inside your vehicle.”

“Zhang Fei’s head received a blunt force blow before his death, causing a comminuted depressed fracture, tell me, is this also a coincidence?”

Hearing the words, Li Chuang was suddenly dazed, his eyes wide open, staring straight at Qin Feng.

“Don’t scare me, how could there be the deceased’s bloodstain in my vehicle?”

Following that, Qin Feng said: “Through our experimental equipment examination, there is indeed a bloodstain.”

“If you didn’t commit murder, why would the blood of the deceased be inside your truck?”

“You can be silent now, but if brought to court later, there might be no opportunity for you to speak.”

“You can lie, but this physical evidence cannot lie.”
