"Nanjiang Province, Bailing City!" Zeng Ke said to the computer screen in the base, "I didn't expect Cui Lizhu's surname to be Cui!"
At this moment, Zhao Yu and the members of the special team, including Cui Lizhu, were all gathered around the computer, checking the latest information.
"Your real father's name is Cui Fangyu!" Zeng Ke signaled to Cui Lizhu, "However, this comparison file comes from Nanjiang Prison! Unfortunately, your father is a prisoner!"
"I'll go, how do you say that?" Cui Lizhu lamented helplessly, "This is life!"
"Unfortunately, this man... is no longer alive!" Zeng Ke said regretfully, "According to prison records, Cui Fangyu was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a smuggling case. He died of myocardial infarction less than half a year after serving his sentence! Lucky Yes, although DNA technology was not yet fully popularized at that time, Nanjiang police still kept his DNA profile! Otherwise, it would have been difficult to compare!"
"What about... my mother? Do I... have a mother?" Cui Lizhu's words seemed nonsense, but they were full of bitterness.
"Wait a minute!" Zeng Ke typed on the keyboard quickly, and it didn't take long to call up relevant information. "I only have prison information here. Cui Fangyu is the owner of a transportation company, and his wife... um..." Zeng Ke His face changed, and he said to Cui Lizhu in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Xiao Cui, the information says - widowed! Your mother has passed away before your father!"
"Let me see, he was imprisoned in 1998..." Wu Xiumin said, "Xiao Cui was only two years old at that time. In other words, her mother may have just left Xiao Cui, and then..."
"No way..." Cui Lizhu was obviously in a heavy mood, "Don't tell me that my mother died because of me! If that happens, I will really become a lone star!"
"No, no records have been found yet! Don't worry, the files are too old, I'll think of another solution!" Zeng Ke comforted, "Give me some time, I will definitely be able to find the detailed information!"
At this time, seeing Cui Lizhu's unstable mood, Wu Xiumin immediately walked up to Cui Lizhu, gently held her shoulders and said, "I think... at this time, what you need most is a hug!"
Wu Xiumin is indeed a psychological expert. She just hugged her gently, and Cui Lizhu threw herself tightly into her arms and sobbed softly.
Indeed, at this time, Cui Lizhu is most vulnerable psychologically and needs someone to rely on.
"Why do I think... it's not a coincidence!" At this time, Zhao Yu looked at the information about Cui Lizhu's parents and said suspiciously, "Cui Lizhu's name was given by Tao Xiang. Tao Xiang asked her to have a surname of Cui instead of Tao. Could it be that Say... Tao Xiang knows Cui Lizhu's parents?"
"I once asked my dad, um... I asked Tao Xiang, why don't I give him the last name Tao?" Cui Lizhu sobbed while explaining, "He told me that he named me Cui just to deceive others. , I love whatever my surname is behind my back! You also know that my father keeps changing his identity, and our names are just code names! So, I didn’t dig into it!"
"But... Bai Lili... what role does Bai Lili play?" Zeng Ke pointed to the information on the whiteboard and said, "Tao Xiang has photos of Bai Lili and Xiao Cui. Why is Xiao Cui with Bai Lili?"
"Oh!" Ran Tao clapped his hands and said, "Tao Xiang and Bai Lili were dating. Tao Xiang had no children, so he stole Xiao Zhuzhu, um... Xiao Cui! Later, they had a falling out, so Tao Xiang turned to Xiao Cui Say, if your mother is left behind, you will run away with others!"
"Hey, what ran away? In 1998, Bai Lili turned into a headless female corpse! Stop talking nonsense, okay?" Wu Xiumin retorted, "Besides, Bai Lili is so beautiful, why would she follow someone who doesn't have those functions? Where is Tao Xiang? Let me see, this Bai Lili should have some relationship with Xiao Cui’s parents. She is either a relative of their family or a nanny who was invited to take care of the child! "
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" In an instant, Zhao Yu had a vague feeling, as if he had found that crucial clue, but he just hadn't caught it yet! He thought about it carefully and then ordered Zeng Ke, "Zeng Ke, hurry up and write the information about Cui Lizhu's parents on the whiteboard! Write the date clearly. Let's check the time and maybe we can get some clues!" "
"Yes, yes!" Zeng Ke quickly followed Zhao Yu's instructions and wrote the information on the whiteboard in chronological order.
"Well, the earliest year was when Cui Lizhu was born!" After finishing writing, Zeng Ke began to analyze the data, "After she was born, her mother unfortunately passed away, leaving Cui's father alone to raise her!
"However, the good times did not last long. Within two years, Cui's father was imprisoned for smuggling. He died of a sudden illness after only half a year in prison. We don't know where Cui Lizhu, who was only two years old, went after her parents died."
"It's in Bai Lili's hands!" Wu Xiumin said. "Looking at the photo, Xiao Cui was about two years old at that time, right? Look, Bai Lili was probably the nanny hired by the Cui family. Cui Fangyu is in jail, and there is no one She has to take care of the child, so the child will be given to Bai Lili!"
"But... if Xiao Cui was two years old at that time, it would have been 1998!" Zhao Yu frowned and said, "It was that year that Bai Lili was killed by the murderer and became the last victim of the headless female corpse case! "
"Oh my god, since Cui Lizhu later fell into Tao Xiang's hands, could it be that Tao Xiang is... the murderer of the headless female corpse case!?" Wu Xiumin was dumbfounded, "After Tao Xiang killed Bai Lili, he found that Bai Lili was still with her Child, so you just raised the child and stopped there?"
"Oh my god, I have goosebumps..." Ran Tao was so scared that he crossed his shoulders with his hands.
"No... impossible! Don't make such a joke, okay?" Cui Lizhu immediately retorted, "My dad has never killed anyone! He is the king of thieves, not a murderer! You... you believe me, I am He raised me all by himself, I know best who he is, he really can’t be a murderer!"
"Calm down, calm down... Why do I feel like we have already thought of something?" Zhao Yu said to calm everyone down, but in his heart he was already in a state of anxiety.
"Huh? Could it be that... the murderer is Cui Lizhu's father?" Ran Tao suddenly said, "Her father died in prison, so he has never committed a crime since 1998!"
"Pig Brain, can you please stop talking?" Wu Xiumin yelled, "It's just a mess! Bai Lili died after Cui Lizhu's father went to prison! I never heard that prison inmates can go out and kill people! Please, Don’t make any more trouble, okay?”
"Yes!" Zeng Ke said, "I don't know anything else, but the time Cui Fangyu was in prison and the time of Bai Lili's death are certain. Cui Fangyu was imprisoned just after the New Year, while Bai Lili died at the beginning of winter. In other words, when Bai Lili died, Cui Fangyu had already been buried! So, it’s impossible!”
"But..." Zhao Yu looked at Cui Lizhu, who was wearing pear blossoms and raining flowers, and said, "We can't hastily determine Cui Lizhu's birthday! She only knew the year she was born from Tao Xiang's mouth. What if Tao Xiang lied? Yes, it’s unclear in which year that photo was taken? So, we have to sort out this timeline before we can continue.”
"It's easy to tell your age!" Wu Xiumin said, "As long as you take Xiao Cui to the forensics department of the police station and check his teeth, you can know the exact age! But, that photo..."
"Photos can be determined through carbon testing," Zeng Ke continued, "However, we have no way of knowing when the photo was developed! Therefore, we can only know the age of the photo itself, but not the exact time when the photo was taken!"
"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, after the topic reached this point, Zhao Yu actually got angry and hurriedly pointed at the photo and said to everyone, "So, as detectives, we must pay attention to details. Details determine success or failure. Do you understand? You guys should be careful." Look, the clothes Bai Lili is wearing in the photo, do you see the trademark? Is it Bosideng? Is it a down jacket
"So, as long as we find out which year this down jacket was released, can't we narrow down the range?"
"Awesome, you deserve to be the captain!" Ran Tao immediately raised his thumb.
Zeng was an expert at finding information. He turned on his computer and immediately started contacting manufacturers for comparison, and the comparison results were quickly sent.
After a long quarrel, the down jacket Bai Lili wore was called a limited-edition best-seller by the manufacturer. It has been produced every year from 1995 to now, and the styles are all the same!
"Haha, haha..." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, in order to resolve the embarrassment, Zhao Yu immediately changed the subject seriously and said, "Look? What did I just say? A limited-edition best-selling down jacket is not something that ordinary people can buy. So, this Bai Lili can’t just be a nanny who takes care of children, you said... am I right?”
Hearing Zhao Yu's shameless change of subject, everyone took out towels and handkerchiefs and began to wipe away sweat...
