Chapter 82 Report Released
Yangcheng Branch, temporary office.
When Gu Huai pushed open the door, Wang Weiguo and Zhou Shouzheng were gesturing at the map of Guangzhou on the wall.
There were seven or eight red circles on the map, and Gu Huai recognized all the places marked on them; they were all locations of used auto parts markets.
Several places were circled and crossed out repeatedly in red pen.
"You're back?" Wang Weiguo asked without turning his head. "What did Ren Qi say?"
"I've received the money. I'll give you the information within three days." Gu Huai walked to the table, picked up his enamel mug, and took a sip of water.
"But I think this person is more than just a smuggling broker."
Gu Huai wasn't saying this to Wang Weiguo, but to Jiang Fanglong, who was sitting to the side resting with his eyes closed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fanglong opened his eyes at the opportune moment, walked over and sat down next to Gu Huai, "Tell me, what new discoveries have you made?"
Gu Huai recounted what he had just witnessed, including Ah Hong's seemingly unintentional revelation.
After listening, Jiang Fanglong rubbed his temples. "So, what kind of person do you think she wants you to think she is?"
"A middleman who doesn't get involved in the actual work, only deals with information," Gu Huai said. "This kind of person is the safest. Even if we investigate, we won't find any real evidence, and even if we suspect her, we can't do anything to her."
As Gu Huai spoke, Wang Weiguo nodded repeatedly. After Gu Huai finished speaking, he immediately added, "Is Ren Qi's bank statement still being investigated?"
"We're still investigating, but we haven't found any problems yet." Jiang Fanglong took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Then you need to keep following up," Wang Weiguo said. "Xiao Gu's intuition is usually very accurate; Ren Qi is most likely the culprit."
Gu Huai sat on the side listening without saying a word.
Even if Ren Qi has problems, they are not really related to this case; it's an internal matter for the Yangcheng City Public Security Bureau.
If he interrupts now, he'll be overstepping his bounds.
After listening, Jiang Fanglong nodded and turned to whisper a few words to his assistant.
Seeing that Jiang Fanglong had already given the order, Gu Huai stood up and walked to the map.
"Distinguished leaders, I just contacted Hou Hao, and his investigation has made progress."
As he spoke, Gu Huai picked up a pencil and drew a line on the map of Shenzhen, pointing to the area where Luohu and Bao'an meet.
"We can now preliminarily determine that this area is the intersection of the activity areas of the five missing taxi drivers. Chen Haoyu also had to pass through here when he came from the company to Dongguan City."
Wang Weiguo's gaze followed his finger to the map.
"The scope is still too large," Zhou Shouzhen said.
"So we need to collect more." Gu Huai turned to Wang Weiguo and said, "Chief Wang, I suggest we send more people to stake out and screen around this area to see if anyone has rented a detached house, or an alley that is lively in the evening but quiet in the afternoon."
Wang Weiguo nodded. "I will contact the local police station and ask them for help."
"Let's go in the direction Ah Huai said first." After saying that, he picked up the teacup on the table and said to Gu Huai, "Don't come out to investigate for now. Ren Qi's people know you."
"clear."
After reporting the information he had gathered, Gu Huai got up and left the temporary office.
For the next two days, Gu Huai indeed did not go out.
He spends his mornings in the city bureau’s temporary office reviewing materials and occasionally helps Lingyue organize documents. He then goes back to the guesthouse to rest in the evenings.
Whenever he had free time, he would call Xia Wanying to inquire about the progress of the DNA test.
Xia Wanying would always reply with "almost there" or "still in the last step," leaving Gu Huai wondering how much longer it would take.
The situation in Shenzhen is also progressing at a steady pace.
Hou Hao would call Gu Huai every day to discuss the case.
They said they've been sifting through rental properties in the Dongmen Middle Road and Shennan East Road area recently.
However, many tenants are not home during the day, and when they return at night, they are afraid of alerting the tenants and therefore do not knock on the door, so the progress is particularly slow.
In addition, most of the houses in that area are rented by migrant workers, resulting in a high turnover of people. As a result, the registration information often does not match up, making verification extremely difficult.
Although there was a hint of complaint in Hou Hao's words, Gu Huai could clearly tell that Hou Hao did not mean that.
He was just telling himself about his confusion and feeling powerless.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Huai said, "Didn't your master help?"
"Master..." Hou Hao hesitated for a moment, "Of course my master helped. He taught me how to investigate."
Although Hou Hao tried his best to speak up for Wu Feilin, Gu Huai had already discerned the truth from his words.
It makes sense. While conducting interviews might be a bit troublesome for Hou Hao, it's a piece of cake for a veteran detective like Wu Feilin.
Gu Huai guessed that Hou Hao might have led the team during the past two days' visits, and Wu Feilin might not have participated at all, or at least not very much.
However, Gu Huai didn't reveal his suspicions to anyone.
He could only offer Hou Hao a few words of comfort before hanging up the phone.
On the afternoon of the third day, Gu Huai was sitting in his temporary office organizing the information sent back by the water police.
Zhou Shouzhen has been busy with this matter for the past few days, but judging from the returned information, the results have been minimal.
Zhou Shouzheng personally visited several police stations in the districts surrounding Guangzhou. After asking around, he found that they had not received any reports about illegal vessels recently.
Just as Gu Huai was annoyed by the slow progress of the case, the phone on the corner of the table rang.
Xia Wanying's voice came from the other end of the phone, "The DNA comparison results are in."
"Great!" Gu Huai's spirits lifted after finally hearing some good news after days of waiting. "How did it go?"
"It matched." Xia Wanying said calmly. "We were lucky this time. The PCR amplification was successful on the first try, and the electrophoresis went smoothly. The results came out at noon, and Professor Wang checked them twice before confirming them."
Xia Wanying paused, then read out the final result. "The sample provided by Wang Jun's family is a perfect match with the deceased's, confirming with 100% certainty that the deceased is indeed Wang Jun."
Upon hearing the result, Gu Huai stood up excitedly, then sat down again.
"Then this case is definitively settled."
"Yes." Xia Wanying nodded. "With this report, the taxi disappearance case has officially become a serial murder case."
"Is the report finished?" Gu Huai asked excitedly.
"I've finished writing it," Xia Wanying said. "I'll fax it to Sister Ling right away."
"Um."
After exchanging a few words, Gu Huai hung up the phone.
Although the report was issued somewhat late, the case had already been classified as a murder within the task force.
But Gu Huai still attached great importance to this report.
For him, the outcome of the report was not important; having the report itself was important.
He knew very well that if this case were eventually solved, it would become a classic example of cooperation between the two cities and would be publicized within the police force.
Therefore, he must use DNA technology as the basis for the entire case.
Only in this way will more people pay attention to this technology.
Only with greater public attention can this technology, with its wide range of future applications, be implemented sooner.
Thinking of this, Gu Huai immediately stood up and prepared to go find Ling Yue to discuss with her how to write the report.
Just as he stood up, his pager went off.
He looked down and saw Zhang Guiyuan's number.
The information above is very simple.
