Chapter 179: Unsolved Case for 10 Years (I) A Drop of Blood
Morning meeting on January 20, 2010
In the seminar room, Political Commissar Gao clicked the mouse and the computer screen lit up instantly. He said in a deep voice: "This is a long-forgotten case that happened at 10:12 pm on March 8, 2000.
The victim was named Wei Fanrong, a 25-year-old single woman living alone. The murder took place in Room 201, 2nd Floor, Xingwang Building, Guangnan Town. The person who called the police was her neighbor.
That night, the neighbor had just returned from get off work and unexpectedly discovered that the door of Wei Fanrong's house was not locked. The neighbor pushed open the door with trepidation, only to find Wei Fanrong lying on his back with blood all over the ground.
The forensic identification results showed that the deceased had been stabbed four times in the abdomen with a fruit knife. The fingerprints were incomplete and could not be extracted. The deceased died of excessive blood loss. At that time, I was personally in charge of this case.
Unfortunately, there was no surveillance installed in the dormitory building at that time. We repeatedly inspected the scene and conducted multiple investigations. We eventually ruled out possibilities such as emotional entanglements and revenge by enemies, and determined that this was a typical case of stalking and home robbery. ”
Han Jianye stared at the photos taken on the screen. It could be clearly seen that the scene was in a mess, with traces of fighting and turmoil everywhere, and it seemed extremely chaotic.
Political Commissar Gao went on to elaborate: "Our trace detection personnel searched the crime scene carefully and eventually found a drop of blood that did not belong to the deceased among the multiple bloodstains. This drop of blood was undoubtedly left unintentionally by the deceased during his fierce resistance against the murderer. It became a key clue and solid evidence for us to track down the murderer."
After saying that, he lightly tapped, and the image on the screen turned into that crucial drop of blood.
He continued, "After chromosome testing, we confirmed that the blood came from a man. Therefore, we conducted a large-scale investigation of all able-bodied men in the entire building and surrounding areas of the murder scene. Unfortunately, we did not find the murderer."
"But today, 10 years later, our technicians finally found an adult male in the national DNA database with a genetic similarity of about 12.5% with the murderer. His name is Guan Haibin, 35 years old, an accountant, who was sentenced to five years in prison for false accounting."
After hearing this, Han Jianye said thoughtfully: "Political Commissar, so you think that the murderer is very likely to be related to Guan Haibin by blood. Judging from the current clues, they are very likely from the same paternal family. Perhaps he is Guan Haibin's cousin, or uncle, or even a distant cousin from the maternal side."
"That's right." Political Commissar Gao nodded in agreement.
Si Yue proposed the next plan: "It seems that we should focus our main target on Guan Haibin. By asking his family members, we may be able to gain something."
Ye Bai reminded: "We need to pay attention to the fact that the DNA matching rate will be affected by many complex factors, such as gene mutations and the selection of detection sites. We are afraid that Guan Haibin's family branches may be numerous and widely distributed, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of our investigation."
Political Commissar Gao took a deep puff of his cigarette. In the smoke, his expression became more serious. "Ye Bai expressed my concerns. This case is completely different from the ones you have dealt with before. After all, 10 years have passed, and the deceased has not yet been vindicated. Is the murderer still alive? Many clues have disappeared. Apart from this drop of blood, we have no other solid evidence. Therefore, we need to visit everywhere and not miss any possible clues."
After that, he slowly turned his gaze towards Han Jianye, his tone full of unquestionable determination: "You will personally lead the team to follow up on this case. Guan Haibin is currently being detained in the Qiyang Second Prison District in Qiyang City. After the meeting, you will make some preparations and set off immediately."
When Ye Bai heard the three words "Qi Yang City", a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a bright smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Before leaving, Han Jianye called Gao Xiaoting and asked her to bring the ingot back.
"Brother, are you going on a business trip again?" Gao Xiaoting complained, "I don't care. You have to reimburse me for Yuanbao's dog food, dog litter, and other miscellaneous expenses."
"Don't I have a secondary card for you to use? Just swipe it."
"Hehe...Okay, I just happened to like a bag." Gao Xiaoting said with a smile.
"Buy it, all with my brother's card."
"Okay!" Gao Xiaoting hung up the phone happily.
*:(′`):* Yeah! ! !
Ye Bai was sitting in the car texting someone and didn't notice Han Jianye sitting next to him.
They were now leaving for Qiyang City. Qi Xiaolei smiled and said, "Time flies. I remember the last time I went to Qiyang City was last year."
"That's right." Liao Wei continued, "Captain Han, we shouldn't stay overnight there. If we do, don't go to that guesthouse again."
Ye Bai asked curiously: "Why?"
Su Wan smiled and said, "If we use a metaphysical perspective, it is a supernatural event. According to science, it is the mind that is at work."
