I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 62
At the center of the beam of light, a few drops of dark red liquid were faintly visible on the dirty cement floor.
Chen Mo squatted down, without wearing gloves, and carefully observed with his naked eyes.
“The blood droplets are round with slightly bristly edges, formed by vertical dripping.”
“The surface of the bloodstain has begun to congeal, but the center still retains a liquid sheen.”
“The dripping time should not exceed twenty minutes.”
No more than twenty minutes!
In other words, the murderer or the victim had just passed through Red Line Street when they blocked it off!
“Technical investigators! Come and collect blood samples immediately!” Wang Feng shouted.
Just then, Chen Mo’s walkie-talkie rang again.
“Team Leader Chen! The target… the target has reappeared!”
“He ran out of the exit of Leyue Third Alley and just turned into the food street in front!”
A food street?!
Everyone’s hearts tightened again.
That place is currently experiencing its peak tourist season!
“Chase!”
At Chen Mo’s command, everyone immediately turned around and ran towards the food street.
However, when they arrived, panting heavily, the scene before them filled everyone with despair.
A huge crowd.
The clamor of voices, the aroma of food, and the deafening music merged into a massive wave of sound that nearly engulfed them.
That figure has vanished without a trace.
We lost them again.
…
At three in the morning, Chen Mo sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.
On the screen was a hypnotic pattern composed of countless black and white lines.
This was found in a suspect’s online account.
Unfortunately, Su Chun discovered that the account was also purchased from the black market.
All the registration information was fake; the trail went cold here.
“Knock knock knock”.
There was a knock on the office door.
Jiang Weiyi pushed open the door and entered, his face showing exhaustion.
“Team Leader Chen, the bloodstains found in Leyue Lane have been preliminarily confirmed to be human blood after comparison.”
“The DNA comparison results won’t be available until 7 a.m. at the earliest.”
Chen Mo nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Let the brothers go and get some rest.”
He rubbed his throbbing temples. “Notify Guan Yuexing and the others to find someone to take over their posts.”
“yes.”
After Jiang Weiyi left, the office fell silent again.
Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
In my mind, all the clues were like a tangled mess, all intertwined.
A fourteen-year time span, a young killer, eerie hypnotic patterns, and that drop of fresh blood…
At seven o’clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.
Chen Mo suddenly sat up from his cot and rushed to the computer.
An encrypted email is lying quietly in your inbox.
It’s a DNA comparison report!
He quickly opened the attachment and his eyes immediately locked onto the conclusion section.
[After comparison, the bloodstain sample from the scene at Leyue Lane matches the DNA information of “Liu Qingqing” in the database with a 99.99% match!]
Liu Qingqing?
Chen Mo’s brows furrowed instantly.
This name has never appeared on the missing persons list!
“Jiang Xiaomiao! Zhan Chi! Come with me to the scene!”
Chen Mo grabbed his coat and rushed out while dialing a number.
Half an hour later, a black sedan stopped in front of a high-end apartment building in the south of the city.
“Ding-dong—”
The door opened, and a sleepy-eyed young girl peeked out.
Who are you looking for?
Chen Mo showed his police officer ID.
“We are from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are looking for Liu Qingqing.”
“Qingqing?” The girl was taken aback. “She’s not here. She went on a business trip three days ago and hasn’t come back yet.”
On business trip?
At this moment, the ominous premonition in Chen Mo’s heart became extremely strong.
“Can we go in and take a look?”
“Huh? Oh… okay.” The girl was clearly not quite there yet and instinctively stepped aside.
Chen Mo and two team members entered the apartment.
“What is your relationship with Liu Qingqing?” Chen Mo asked, looking around.
“We are roommates who share an apartment, and we were also classmates in college,” the girl replied.
“Was there anything unusual about her before she went on her business trip? Or did she say anything special to you?”
“Something’s wrong?” the girl tried to recall.
“No, it’s just like usual. They said the company sent her to a neighboring city to discuss a project, and she’ll probably be back in about a week.”
One week…
The murderer had ample time to dispose of all traces.
Chen Mo’s gaze sharpened.
He unzipped his jacket, revealing a corner of a gun holster under his arm.
The girl’s breath hitched for a moment.
She finally realized that the seriousness of the situation far exceeded her expectations.
“Think about it again carefully.”
Chen Mo’s voice was devoid of emotion.
What are Liu Qingqing’s social connections like?
Do you have any particularly close friends of the opposite sex? Or have you offended anyone?
“I…I…” The girl was so overwhelmed by his powerful aura that she could hardly breathe, and her eyes began to dart away.
“Qingqing… she’s usually a nice person, she probably hasn’t offended anyone.”
“As for her male friends… it seems she’s been in contact with a guy lately.”
“who?”
“I don’t know his name.” The girl’s voice trailed off. “I’ve only seen him once, when Qingqing got out of his car.”
“What car?” Chen Mo pressed.
“It looks like…it looks like a black Audi A6.”
Envy appeared on the girl’s face.
“The driver was a young man who looked quite wealthy.”
A black Audi A6!
A young male driver!
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes!
He took his phone out of his pocket and pulled up a picture.
That was a sketch of the suspect drawn by the task force’s portrait experts based on eyewitness accounts from several previous cases.
A young man who looks refined and gentle.
“Look, isn’t this the person?”
The girl leaned closer for a look and immediately widened her eyes.
“It’s him! It’s him!”
She pointed at the screen, her voice trembling with excitement.
“He’s the one who brought Qingqing back! But…”
The girl changed the subject, her brows furrowing slightly.
“But he wasn’t wearing his glasses that day.”
Not wearing glasses?
Chen Mo immediately dialed Wu Che’s number, his voice steady and powerful.
“Old Wu, have the portrait expert remove the glasses from the puzzle image, generate a new one, and send it to me immediately!”
“receive!”
On the other end of the phone, Wu Che’s answer was crisp and decisive.
Less than a minute later, Chen Mo’s phone vibrated; a new picture had arrived.
He handed the phone to the girl again.
What about this one?
The girl carefully examined it for a few seconds, then nodded vigorously.
“Yes! That’s him! I’d recognize him even if he were ashes!”
Found it!
Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless.
“Think back, what were the distinctive features of that Audi A6’s license plate?”
“License plate…” the girl thought hard.
“It must be a license plate from Shucheng. I can’t remember the numbers after that, but the last one… I think it was a letter!”
A black Audi A6 with a local Chengdu license plate, the last two digits of the license plate are letters.
The scope has been narrowed down once again!
Chen Mo immediately sent this crucial information via text message to the task force’s contact person.
“When exactly did Liu Qingqing tell you she was going on a business trip?” Chen Mo continued to press.
“Last Saturday night.”
The girl answered.
“She received a phone call and became extremely excited after hanging up.”
“They said the company finally assigned her that big project in the neighboring city, and she has to leave next Wednesday.”
