The fact that Guan Hongwei had premeditated murder was already a done deal, but this last step stumped them.
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and pondered, feeling as if she had overlooked something.
She recalled the places she had visited and the things she had seen over the past two days.
Ah, she slapped her forehead; she knew where Guan Hongwei had gotten his medicine.
Perhaps she can find evidence.
In the criminal investigation team’s office, Jiang Qing and Ye Jiuzhou were still worried about not being able to find a source of the drugs; they had tried everything they could think of.
Guan Hongwei has never bought medicine at a pharmacy, nor has he ever been to a hospital.
They checked all his online purchase records, and he had never bought any medicine online.
They even checked Wang Jue’s purchase records, worried that Guan Hongwei was using Wang Jue’s name to make online purchases, and that he had indeed received Wang Jue’s packages in the past few days.
It turned out to be a false alarm; the package Wang Jue received was just clothes she had ordered online, a pre-order item she had bought more than two weeks ago, which had only just arrived.
Everyone was having a headache. Jiang Qing felt that if they still couldn’t find it, they would have no choice but to interrogate them.
Just then, Su Xiaoxiao returned with Xia Xia.
She just took Xia to look for evidence. Luckily, they went in time; otherwise, they might not have been able to find it.
Seeing everyone’s worried faces, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and took a bag out of her purse.
“Look what this is, everyone?”
There was a bottle of medicine in the bag.
“Hehe, this medicine might be the one Guan Hongwei was looking for.”
Jiang Qing took the bag and glanced at it. “Isn’t this cancer medication?”
“That’s right, this is a drug used as an adjunct treatment for late-stage cancer, but the ingredients it contains can cause mental disorders if taken by ordinary people.”
“Where are you from?” Ye Jiuzhou asked.
“You know that Guan Hongwei’s mother recently passed away. He said he arrived too late and didn’t even get to see her one last time. This medicine is from Guan Hongwei’s mother.”
When I went to see Liu Jie yesterday, I saw him pack all of his mother’s things into a bag, preparing to throw them away. I vaguely saw a medicine bottle, but I didn’t think much of it.
Today you said you were just missing one piece of evidence, and it suddenly occurred to me that Guan Hongwei’s mother had late-stage cancer. People with late-stage cancer often experience problems such as edema and loss of appetite. Doctors usually prescribe some adjuvant medications, including this one, but not every patient receives it. I’m not sure if Guan Hongwei’s mother had this medication.
So we took Xia to take a look. When we got there, Liu Jie had already thrown the bag onto the garbage truck. Luckily, we caught up with him.
If Guan Hongwei really got the medicine from his mother, then there must be his fingerprints on the bottle.
How did she come up with the idea that cancer medication would contain this ingredient?
Seeing the puzzled looks on her team members’ faces, she chuckled. She wasn’t about to tell them that she was an expert in drugs. It was perfectly reasonable for someone from a special case team to know a bit more, right?
Ye Jiuzhou didn’t think much of it. “Great! Take it to Forensic Doctor Sun right away and have him test the ingredients of this drug to see if they match the drug residue in Guan Hongwei’s body. Also, compare the fingerprints on the bottle.”
Ye Jiuzhou handed the bag to Jiang Qing, who excitedly ran off to find the forensic doctor, Sun.
He turned his head and saw Xia slumped over the table. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Captain Ye, it’s nothing, I’m just tired. Just let me rest for a while.”
“Xia, your stamina is terrible. You’re exhausted just from chasing a garbage truck. How are you going to get married in the future?”
With the evidence in hand, Ye Jiuzhou felt like making a joke.
“Captain, please don’t make fun of me. I didn’t catch up with the garbage truck. It was Comrade Xiao Su who caught up with it. She was too fast; I couldn’t keep up at all.”
Xia felt even worse when she talked about it. She had been embarrassed quite a few times in the past two days. Yesterday, Su Xiaoxiao threw her into the car like a chick.
Today, I followed Su Xiaoxiao to chase the garbage truck. Su Xiaoxiao ran too fast; he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of her.
By the time he caught up, Su Xiaoxiao had already taken the medicine bottle.
He acted as if nothing had happened, standing there waiting for him. Seeing him panting like a bellows, he teased him just like Ye Jiuzhou, telling him to exercise more in the future.
Finally, they picked him up like a chick and put him in the car, then brought him back.
Wan Yan, who was standing to the side, smiled and comforted him, “Xia, it’s okay. Don’t feel ashamed. There will be many more embarrassing times in the future.”
“Is this how you comfort people?!” Xia was almost in tears. These people in the special case team are all bullying people like this.
“I’m telling the truth. You’ll encounter even more embarrassing things in the future, but you’ll get used to it after a while. It’s okay. I’ve been embarrassed before, it’s nothing.”
“Chasing a garbage truck is nothing. During that ‘death omen’ case, she even chased a tanker truck. You know, that tanker truck not only carried oil, but also a bomb. She and Xiao Yu managed to stop it. Otherwise, many people would have died that time.”
Everyone: Wow, that’s amazing!
Su Xiaoxiao: It’s nothing, it’s just basic stuff.
Ye Jiuzhou was initially skeptical of Su Xiaoxiao’s abilities, and he wasn’t entirely convinced yet. However, he acknowledged that Su Xiaoxiao had found the evidence of the drug and that Guan Hongwei was the first beneficiary of the drug she had mentioned, although he felt there was an element of luck involved.
But now, even Wan Yan, who is also in the special case team, values Su Xiaoxiao so much, so Su Xiaoxiao may really have some skills.
However, whether it’s really as powerful as Wan Yan claims remains to be seen.
A moment later, forensic doctor Sun walked in. Everyone was startled when they saw his cold face, thinking that the results were wrong.
“What’s going on? Something’s not right?” Ye Jiuzhou asked nervously. He had finally found it; he couldn’t have made a mistake.
Forensic doctor Sun stared at Su Xiaoxiao for a while, then suddenly grinned and said, “Yes, the drug residue in Guan Hongwei’s body is exactly the same, and the fingerprints match too.”
“My God, you scared me to death! You old man, you’ve gone bad now.”
Ye Jiuzhou slapped the forensic doctor Sun hard, and everyone cheered. After several days of hard work, they had at least identified one murderer.
“Let’s go, I’ll treat everyone to a meal. After we’ve eaten our fill, let’s get back to work and interrogate Guan Hongwei. We’ll make sure to get to the bottom of him today.”
“Long live the captain!” Several young team members joined in the cheering. They had solved a case and were being treated to a meal; they couldn’t be happier.
We found a restaurant nearby. Since we had to work later and couldn’t drink alcohol, we toasted Su Xiaoxiao and Wan Yan with tea instead.
“You two are our lucky stars. You solved a case as soon as you arrived. We’ll work hard to solve the other two cases as soon as possible.”
Actually, Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t that optimistic. Guan Hongwei’s case was the easiest; the latter two were the key ones.
However, now is not the time to talk about this; she has something else to tell them.
“Captain Ye, when we interrogate Guan Hongwei later, if he confesses to premeditated murder, we’ll probably have to dig deeper. He may have more than one life on his hands.
