It has to be said.
The city bureau's canteen offers a wider variety of dishes.
On the one hand, it's because there are more people, and on the other hand, it's because the meal allowance is more generous.
After finishing their meal, the group returned to their office and began further discussions about the case.
Guan Feng said to Huang Lili, "Lili, go to the brigade and find the information on the arson case from three years ago!" He then said to the others, "Based on the current situation, Xia Ping hasn't been home for more than three years, and given the high degree of overlap between his and Chen Qian's travel history, we initially conclude that the other party is a prime suspect!"
"Gao Dacheng, go to the telecommunications company and retrieve Xia Ping's phone network history!"
"Everyone else, stand by! Await the test results from the technical department!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
Everyone obeyed.
Over the course of two days, Guan Feng first found a clue through the small detail of the nail pattern, even after the Major Crimes Team had determined it was impossible. Then, he used his personal connections to confirm the victim's identity and whereabouts.
This will help to further identify potential suspects in the case.
Everyone has been watching every step he's taken.
This case was the most difficult one yet, as the victim's identity could not be determined, the suspect's identity could not be determined, and the only clue was the deceased's DNA!
But at this very moment!
The case is gradually becoming clearer.
The progress is faster than the other three difficult cases of the same type.
Therefore, almost all of them accepted the arrangement willingly.
A moment later.
Huang Lili walked back.
She handed over the case file and said, "Captain, this is the case file for the arson case three years ago. At the time, the Development Zone Branch investigated and found nothing wrong; the case was closed. Would you like to take a look?"
Guan Feng took it and carefully scanned the case file.
A moment later.
He glanced at the address bar, seemed to notice something amiss, and frowned as he looked at Zhao Yang, asking, "Is this Hongxiang Village very close to Hongjian Village?"
Zhao Yang leaned closer, glanced at the village, and nodded, saying, "Huh? Hongxiang Village? If I remember correctly, the two villages are right next to each other. If you go south from Hongjian Village, don't go over the main canal bridge, just keep following the road, and you'll reach Hongxiang Village!"
Guan Feng said, "It seems that the DNA found on Chen Qian may not be an error."
Zhao Yang asked in surprise, "You suspect that the person who died at that time was not Zhou Zhong?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Since it involves pushing the case aside, I'll go talk to the branch captain first. Also, we don't know the details of the case yet, so please don't spread it around for now."
Zhao Yang said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Captain. Even if we really made a mistake in handling the case, given our rank..."
Guan Feng said, "That's why we need to go and discuss it with the branch captain."
Why are wrongful convictions so difficult to overturn?
Often, it's not that the case is unclear or difficult to handle.
Instead, it was some inexplicable resistance.
Putting everything else aside!
Once a arson case is confirmed, the entire development zone branch will be under immense pressure, and even the personnel directly involved in the investigation will be held accountable. Putting yourself in their shoes, most people would choose to evade responsibility in such a situation.
Because this is something that will offend people.
People with narrow minds don't realize they've handled a case wrong; instead, they hold grudges against those who exposed the truth.
However, Guan Feng is different.
Now that he has discovered the situation, he will naturally choose to investigate it thoroughly.
One can be meticulous in one's dealings with others, but one must adhere to the bottom line when it comes to matters of principle.
Fairness and justice!
This is Guan Feng's bottom line.
Guan Feng arrived at the branch captain's office.
Knock knock knock!
He knocked on the office door.
Zhao Dong said, "Come in!"
Guan Feng went inside.
Zhao Dong looked up and saw it was him, then continued writing, pointing to the desk and saying, "Have a seat! The tea is over there, brew some yourself. I'll finish approving this document; they need it urgently."
"I am a little thirsty!"
Guan Feng didn't stand on ceremony.
He grabbed a disposable paper cup, picked up a handful of tea leaves, and ran to the water dispenser to fill it with water.
A moment later.
Zhao Dong put down his pen, looked up at Guan Feng, and asked, "How is it? Any progress in the case?"
Guan Feng briefly explained the situation and said, "We did discover some unusual things. We investigated Chen Qian's whereabouts and found... So I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the arson case three years ago?"
Zhao Dong looked at the case file of the fire three years ago and frowned, saying, "Hongxiang Village? Hongjian Village? Do you think there's a problem with the DNA comparison?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "With current scientific methods, DNA collection is almost error-free! How could DNA be collected from someone who has been dead for three years? I suspect there's a problem somewhere in the investigation of this arson case!"
Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Your considerations make sense, but the paternity test results at the time indicated a father-son relationship."
Guan Feng pointed to the identification document and said, "This shows that it was a family of three. The DNA samples collected were from these three people, but not from Xia Ping's mother. What if, and I mean what if, this man wasn't Zhou Zhong?"
Zhao Dong's expression changed, and he asked, "You mean the biological father isn't necessarily the father on the household registration?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "After investigating the case to this point, I've considered all sorts of possibilities, and this is the only one that fits the current outcome."
Zhao Dong rubbed his forehead and said, "This makes the case more complicated!"
Guan Feng said, "That's why I came to report to you, the branch captain."
Zhao Dong asked, "What are you thinking?"
Guan Feng said calmly, "Since I've run into this, there's no reason not to investigate. I can just join the serious crimes team a few days later!"
Zhao Dong chuckled and patted Guan Feng on the shoulder, saying, "The fact that you have this idea proves I didn't misjudge you! But this is just speculation. Do you have any direct evidence?"
