Due to the previous incident where Lao Feng had carried a bomb and attempted to silence the witness, the hospital was now heavily guarded. The Jinping police specially deployed a few times more armed police force than before, so that they were able to control the entire hospital.
There was even a temporary checkpoint set up at the entrance of the department where the prisoners were kept. Anyone who entered the department had to go through a strict inspection.
Zhao Yu saw that the place was secure, so he wanted to go back to the police station to take charge of the work.
But, as Lao Feng, Ah Biao, and the driver woke up one after another, the police started interrogating them. The criminal police at Jinping Police Station were very experienced, so they knew that the best time to interrogate them was when they had just undergone surgery.
At that time, the prisoners were usually unconscious, so it would be easy for them to obtain important information.
Looking at the situation, Zhao Yu couldn't just leave, so he continued to wait for news in the temporary office.
Now it was already time for the sun to set. Ma Laodan and his son were arranged to stay in the same ward. With the help of Zhao Yu's Invisible Hemostat, although Ma Laodan had been shot in the chest, his life wasn't in danger.
As for Ma Laodan's father, Ma Qiang, he was fine, but he had a few fractures and internal bleeding. His life was no longer in danger.
The police also sent a professional to record Ma Qiang's statement. However, Zhao Yu had already understood what had happened to them from Cui Lizhu, so he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to get any useful information from Zhang Ping Street's Second Master.
Among all the injured people, the captain of the criminal police, Li Luoyun, was the most severely injured. The dagger had stabbed into his abdomen, cutting his intestines and injuring his spleen. His surgery lasted for more than five hours before it was completed.
The surgery was a success, and his life was no longer in danger.
After Li Luoyun woke up, Zhao Yu went to visit him. The first thing the captain asked him was how the case was going.
When he found out that the mole was Lao Feng, he was shocked. He never expected that his colleague, who had worked with him for so many years, would be the mastermind of the Hasty Murder Case!
Although he was severely injured, Li Luoyun reflected on himself in front of everyone. He said that if he had noticed Lao Feng earlier, the Hasty Murder Case wouldn't have been carried out so smoothly. Lao Feng was his direct subordinate, so he had to bear some responsibility as well.
Zhao Yu advised him, saying that the case had not been fully investigated yet, and that it was not the time to reflect on himself. He suggested that he should focus on recuperating and healing himself.
After leaving Li Luoyun's ward, Zhao Yu went to visit Cui Lizhu. Cui Lizhu's finger was not the only one that had been cut off. Like Ma Qiang, she had been brutally beaten by criminals and was severely injured.
When Zhao Yu entered the room, Cui Lizhu had already taken the sedative and was fast asleep.
Zhao Yu came to Cui Lizhu's bed and sat on the chair next to it. He carefully observed Cui Lizhu's face again.
It was a beautiful and familiar face. Before this, Zhao Yu had always confused this face with Gege, who had a beautiful face.
Actually, Zhao Yu wasn't a love-struck fool. He wouldn't indulge in a woman's beauty. It was just that Gege's portrait was too magical and left a deep impression on him.
At that moment, looking at Cui Lizhu in front of him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a strange ripple in his heart. Although the two of them looked the same, the Cui Lizhu in front of him was undoubtedly more real.
Cui Lizhu, Cui Lizhu … What has happened to you?
Zhao Yu looked at her and fell into deep thought. He wanted to deduce something from the few clues he had. However, there were too few clues, so there was no way for him to make a guess.
While he was thinking, he picked up the photo again and looked at it carefully.
Before this, Zhao Yu really couldn't tell Cui Lizhu the truth. Could he just tell her that the person in the photo, who might have been her mother, had turned into a headless female corpse?
Or, could he add that the person who chopped off her mother's head might be her father, Tao Xiang?
Sigh!
Zhao Yu let out a long sigh. He hadn't expected that he would encounter such a thing so soon after joining the special investigation group and becoming the team leader. Not only were there more and more cases, but they were also getting more and more complicated.
Now, although it seemed that he had found a major clue, he didn't know how far he was from the real answer.
"Beep … Beep …"
Just as Zhao Yu was feeling melancholy, he received a new message on his phone. He opened it and saw that Zeng Ke had sent him the first DNA comparison result.
Nineteen years ago, the last victim of the Headless Female Corpses Case, Bai Lili, was like the other headless female corpses. As there was no head or fingerprints, her identity couldn't be confirmed.
Although DNA technology had been introduced to China at that time and was used in criminal investigation cases, the police could only collect the victim's DNA. However, the police could only collect the victim's DNA, but they couldn't find the victim's family.
It wasn't until two years later, when DNA technology was widely available, that the police finally found Bai Lili's family and confirmed her identity.
Because of this, Bai Lili's photo, as well as her DNA sample and information, were all preserved. Before this, Zhao Yu had done his homework for the Headless Female Corpses Case. So, when he saw Cui Lizhu's photo, he could recognize Bai Lili at first glance.
The DNA report that Zeng Ke had sent clearly showed that Cui Lizhu and Bai Lili weren't related by blood. Hence, Cui Lizhu wasn't Bai Lili's daughter.
Oh?
She isn't?
Zhao Yu lifted his head and looked at Cui Lizhu, who was in a deep sleep. Then, he started thinking again.
If Cui Lizhu wasn't Bai Lili's daughter, then … What's with the photo?
Could Cui Lizhu really be Gege's daughter? Gege sold Cui Lizhu to Bai Lili in order to get promoted?
Or, is Bai Lili a human trafficker?
Then, the Headless Female Corpses Case is related to human traffickers? The few headless female corpses were human traffickers when they were alive, too?
That's not right …
Zhao Yu knew a little about human traffickers. He looked at the photo carefully and saw that Bai Lili was well-dressed in the photo. She didn't look like a human trafficker at all.
Plus, the police had investigated Bai Lili in detail. If she were really a human trafficker, it would be impossible for there to be no records.
Tsk tsk …
Just as Zhao Yu was smacking his lips, his phone rang again.
He took a look and saw that it was the second DNA comparison report that had been sent to him. This report was based on the DNA comparison between Cui Lizhu and Gege.
Gege had been killed by the Taoist priest Yuan Shucai in 1999. Back then, in order to preserve evidence, the police had also kept Gege's DNA sample.
Later, when Zhao Yu was investigating the case, he had retrieved the ready-made files. So, when the files were sent from Qinshan, they were quickly compared with Cui Lizhu's.
In the end, Zhao Yu was disappointed. After the test, Cui Lizhu's DNA and Gege's DNA didn't match. They weren't even related by blood!
Tsk tsk …
Faced with such a result, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smack his lips. The world was so big, and there were so many strange things. People who looked exactly the same could really not be related by blood!
It seemed that from the beginning to the end, it was just his wishful thinking. Cui Lizhu had nothing to do with Gege at all!
Among the three DNA comparisons, the one that was sent back the latest was between Cui Lizhu and Tao Xiang. As Tao Xiang didn't have a ready-made DNA file, he could only extract it on the spot and test it out. So, it took longer than the other two.
After Zhao Yu left Cui Lizhu's ward, Zeng Ke sent the comparison results to Zhao Yu's phone.
Unexpectedly, something happened again. He never expected that Cui Lizhu wasn't Tao Xiang's biological daughter!
The results showed that Cui Lizhu and Tao Xiang weren't related by blood!
