Guan Feng frowned.
Too many coincidences are often not coincidences, but rather man-made.
Wang Lianfei disappeared, and Wang Ruofei also disappeared, yet they happened to have connections with Sucheng. This instantly filled Guan Feng's mind with countless possibilities.
He asked, "Are Wang Ruofei's family members here?"
Gao Dacheng nodded and said, "Yes! However, Wang Ruofei is idle and his family doesn't get along with him, which leads to very little communication between them. After Wang Ruofei went to Sucheng, he basically lost contact with his family."
Guan Feng asked, "Then the family doesn't know exactly what Wang Ruofei did?"
Gao Dacheng said, "He does know some things, after all, he comes back during holidays. But Wang Ruofei never talks about the specifics, he just says that he found a job in Sucheng."
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "How did they find out about Wang Ruofei's messing around outside?"
Gao Dacheng said, "It was a coincidence. Liancheng and Sucheng are adjacent, right? Some villagers went to the casino there and found Wang Ruofei running the place. That's how the news gradually spread."
Guan Feng suddenly realized and asked, "Let's do a DNA test on Wang Ruofei first."
Gao Dacheng asked, "Captain, is this necessary? What happened?"
Guan Feng glanced at the people following behind him, lowered his voice, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "We have just retrieved the van that was filled with the body, and found the murder weapon and ropes inside, but we still cannot confirm Wang Lianfei's identity!"
"Since Wang Ruofei is also missing, let's do a DNA comparison together and see if it matches the hair tissue samples extracted from the car and room!"
Gao Dacheng said, "Okay, I'll take people over right away. The sooner we finish the inspection, the sooner we can make the comparison."
He then pulled the technical team members over to inspect the area.
And at this time.
Guan Feng received a call from Director Bai.
As soon as the call connected, Director Bai said, "Xiao Guan, the results you requested have been tested and matched here."
Guan Feng asked, "How's the game going? Matchmaking?"
Director Bai shook his head and said, "After our inspection, we found that they did not match. Considering the importance of this data, we extracted three sets of data—hair, dandruff, and blood—for matching, but none of them were successful."
Guan Feng frowned.
After a moment, he said to Director Bai, "Alright! The relevant data will still go through the procedures and be sent to the technical section of the Major Crimes Unit. I'll make a backup here."
Director Bai said, "Okay, I'll have them sit down."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Feng frowned in thought. The development of this case had exceeded his expectations. Whether it was a gambling case turning into a murder case, or a murder case evolving to its current state, the most likely victim, Wang Lianfei, did not match up.
These are all beyond imagination!
Tan Kai asked from the side, "Captain Guan, is something wrong?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "The Hongcheng Bureau just contacted Wang Lianfei's relatives and found that the DNA information did not match. It is highly likely that the deceased is not Wang Lianfei."
Tan Kai frowned and asked, "Could it be that the data is wrong? For example, although the two are relatives, they are not actually related by blood. I encountered this when I was investigating cases before. The older generation favored boys over girls and adopted children without letting the children know, which caused such misunderstandings."
Guan Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Your considerations make sense. Here's what we'll do! Contact Secretary Wang and investigate to determine if the two parties are truly related by blood!"
Tan Kai immediately contacted Party Secretary Wang.
After receiving the call, Party Secretary Wang immediately ran over and said, "Captain Guan, I understand what you just said. There shouldn't be any backsliding in this matter. The two sides are related, and Wang Lianfei is also their biological son. All the old people in the village know this."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary Wang. We just wanted to double-check to avoid any oversights."
Party Secretary Wang said, "It's my duty; the important thing is that I can help you."
Guan Feng said, "Alright! There's nothing much going on here for now, Secretary Wang, you can go about your business."
After saying goodbye to Guan Feng and Tan Kai, Secretary Wang left.
Guan Feng then looked at Tan Kai and said, "If the situation is as Secretary Wang said, then we need to consider other people. Wang Ruofei is also missing, which is also a concern. I have already asked someone to do a DNA match to see if they are a match."
Tan Kai said, "Captain, shall we go and check on the owner of the vehicle now?"
Guan Feng said, "Lili should already be at the traffic management department. I'll give her a call and ask." He then dialed Huang Lili's number.
Huang Lili received a call saying that she had just arrived at the traffic management department and found the owner of the van. She said, "Captain, we found out that the owner of the van is a person named Wang Ruofei, and the mailing address is... Xiaowang Village?"
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Wang Ruofei? Does that sound like the 'Ruo' in Wang Lianfei's name?"
Huang Lili said, "Yes, Captain, you know this person?"
Guan Feng said, "Gao Dacheng just found out that Wang Ruofei had close contact with Sucheng before and may be one of the people involved in the case. Now the van is also on our radar. Lili, when you investigate the surveillance footage later, you need to be more thorough and make sure the trajectory is solid."
Huang Lili also realized that this case was no small matter, and said, "Okay, Captain, I will do a thorough job."
Guan Feng reminded him, "I also need to tell you something else. The DNA comparison results are in. They don't match with the relatives of Wang Lianfei in Hongcheng. In other words, the deceased is not Wang Lianfei!"
Huang Lili's expression changed again: "Could it be Wang Ruofei?"
Guan Feng said, "We cannot rule out this possibility, but everything must be based on evidence."
Huang Lili said, "Understood! I will solidify the evidence."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Feng said, "Tan Kai, let's go meet up with Gao Dacheng and see the DNA comparison results. Gao Dacheng is the deputy captain of our Major Crimes Team Three. If you are transferred here in the future, you will be under his command."
Tan Kai asked excitedly, "Captain, do I really have a chance to be transferred here?"
Guan Feng said, "As long as you pass this municipal-level expert assessment, your transfer to the Major Crimes Unit is a sure thing, provided that you are willing!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Kai excitedly said, "Captain Guan, I'd be more than willing to work by your side!"
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "We criminal investigators value being realistic and pragmatic. Let's not bring in that personality cult mentality. Okay, let's go meet up with Gao Dacheng first."
Tan Kai nodded excitedly and followed behind Guan Feng.
The two arrived at a household in the village and saw Gao Dacheng leading his technical team to extract hair samples.
Guan Feng looked at the elderly man in the middle and asked, "You must be Wang Ruofei's father, right?"
The old man nodded and said, "What trouble has that damned fellow gotten himself into now?"
Guan Feng said, "It's not necessarily because he caused trouble. We're just conducting a routine investigation. By the way, sir, did Wang Ruofei buy a minivan?"
