At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Zhao Yu returned to the office of Andu Police Station after waking up from the hotel.
This time, he was really tired. He slept from noon to afternoon, sleeping so darkly that there was no light from the sun or the moon. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and regained a lot of energy.
However, as soon as he entered the office, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Because, his team members were gathered in front of the big screen, discussing something intensely.
Judging from their expressions, some were nervous, some were surprised, and some were incredulous. It must be some emergency.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhao Yu stepped into the office and asked immediately.
"Team leader? You're here!" Zeng Ke got ahead of Cui Lizhu and was the first to tell Zhao Yu the answer, "The DNA of the deceased Qi Hao has come out. Guess what?"
"The child isn't his, either?" Before Zeng Ke could finish speaking, Zhao Yu said something in front of him, choking Zeng Ke so much that he almost fell over.
"Ah?" Cui Lizhu stared at her big watery eyes, "Boss, you know everything?"
"You know nothing!" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "If the child was Qi Hao's, would you have such a heated discussion?"
"Well..." All the team members looked at each other.
"You guessed it right," Zeng Ke said, "Qi Hao's DNA does not match the DNA of Mi Rou's child, which means the child is not Qi Hao's!"
"Isn't this amazing?" Ran Tao scratched his head out of habit, "Who did Mi Rou have this child with? It wasn't Shen Wenbin, it wasn't Niu Jinkui, it wasn't Qi Hao, tsk tsk..."
"Boss, boss..." Cui Lizhu said to Zhao Yu in surprise, "Tell me, could there be... something else going on in the Ghost King case
"Could the real murderer not be this Qi Hao at all, but someone else? Qi Hao is just a scapegoat
"Otherwise, Qi Hao also has an accomplice, and the child belongs to this accomplice?"
"..." Upon hearing the news, Zhao Yu fell into deep thought and remained silent.
"Team leader," Zeng Ke said, "I have taken the child's DNA to the database for comparison, but if the child's father has no criminal record, it will be difficult to find...
"Do you think we need to find all the men who have a relationship with Mirou and extract their DNA one by one?"
"Don't be stupid," Ran Tao said, "Who would be so stupid as to leave their ID card when visiting a brothel? Mirou does that kind of thing, she can do everything she can, she can't waste her nights, she can't even count them, so where can she find them? "
"Hmm..." Zeng Ke retorted, "We can calculate forward based on the child's date of birth, and mainly look for men who had contact with Mi Rou during her pregnancy?"
"This is quite embarrassing!" Ran Tao said, "The bathing center is a place with a relatively high turnover of people. I wonder if I can find witnesses or something so far away
"Well... four months plus ten months of pregnancy, more than a year ago, but... "
"Hey, what's wrong? Is this habitual deafness?" Cui Lizhu pouted and said, "I just said, the most important thing now is that since the child is not Qi Hao's, then there may be another real culprit in this case, or there may be someone else. If we have an accomplice, as long as we find this person, the child's matter will be taken care of, right?"
"I... we didn't say anything else, right?" Zeng Ke felt aggrieved, "As long as we find the biological father of the child, won't the truth be found?"
"I think..." At this time, Zhao Yu finally spoke, frowning and saying, "The child is not Qi Hao's, but it proves that the real murderer is Qi Hao himself!"
"Ah!?" As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised, "Why?"
"Because..." Zhao Yu said with a solemn expression, "If the child is not Qi Hao's, then it becomes reasonable for Qi Hao to kill Niu Jinkui first!
"Perhaps, Qi Hao believes that Mi Rou's child can only be Niu Jinkui's, because Niu Jinkui broke the condom and made Mi Rou pregnant with the child!
"But Mirou stubbornly believed that the child belonged to the rich man Shen Wenbin, and she must give birth to the child. This led to a misunderstanding, which eventually led to Mirou jumping off the building in despair!
"So, Qi Hao transferred all his hatred to Niu Jinkui, believing that Niu Jinkui was the person most responsible for Mi Rou's death, so he was the first to kill him!!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent, and everyone quickly understood what Zhao Yu meant.
"Oh..." After a few seconds, Zeng Ke nodded, "If the child is Qi Hao's, then he has no reason to kill Niu Jinkui!"
"But..." Wu Xiumin objected, "Qi Hao committed an almost perfect Ghost King case, which shows that he is a very cautious and meticulous person, so... wouldn't he compare the child's DNA with Niu Jinkui's? ?”
"Well..." Wu Xiumin's words made sense, and Zhao Yu was speechless for a while.
"I think..." Cui Lizhu suggested, "We can investigate this point carefully. Although Niu Jinkui, Mi Rou and Qi Hao are dead, but it took such a long time to conceive in ten months, we should be able to find a person involved, right?"
"Well, that's a good point!" Zhao Yu pointed at Cui Lizhu, "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
"Ah?" Cui Lizhu wiped her sweat, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said angrily, "Okay, I'll do it! I have to find the father of the child and show it to you..."
After Cui Lizhu got out of the way, Wu Xiumin said to Zhao Yu:
"Team leader, there has been progress regarding Qi Hao's family situation," she turned around and took out a piece of information, "Qi Hao's grandfather Qi Shengrong once studied in a folk theater troupe, which was first founded by Tao Yulan!
"So, the two of them... must have crossed paths!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, "Does it really matter?"
"Qi Shengrong studied art when he was young. Although he is young, but..." Wu Xiumin said, "It is very likely that he followed Tao Yulan!"
"Wow, it turned out to be master and apprentice!" Ran Tao was shocked, "So, Tao Yulan knew that she had committed the Ghost King case and would be arrested sooner or later, so she gave the "Ghost King Record" to Qi Shengrong.
"Qi Shengrong has always treasured this book, and it finally fell into Qi Hao's hands!"
"Then, Qi Hao became obsessed with studying this book," Zeng Ke continued, "so he resonated with and yearned for Tao Yulan, so he decided to commit a new ghost king case and fulfill Tao Yulan's last wish..."
"So..." Ran Tao concluded, "There are no other circumstances in this case. The real culprit is Qi Hao himself!"
"I have no objection to whether the real culprit is Qi Hao himself," Wu Xiumin crossed her arms, "However, the inference you just made is still not supported by real evidence. It is just our subjective conjecture based on the case and has no actual basis. Efficacy!”
Zeng Ke and Ran Tao looked at each other, speechless.
"By the way," after thinking for a while, Zeng Ke suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reported to Zhao Yuhui, "There is a letter from the forensics department. They have carefully studied the handwritten version of "The Record of the Ghost King" found at Qi Hao's house!
"After handwriting comparison, the book was written at least 150 years ago, so it was probably not written by Tao Yulan himself. The word 'Tao' on the title page cannot be proven to be Tao Yulan's own handwriting at present. It is also possible that it was written by Tao Yulan. Written by Tao Yulan’s ancestors…”
