Chapter 35 Two DNAs on Nylon Rope
December 11, 2019 at 14:30
The investigation work officially began, and the information of each building has been distributed. Due to the huge workload that needs to be investigated, people from the Port Police Station were also transferred in, and after the meeting and allocation, the action began.
Zhou Ning and Zhao Xinli were in the same group. They were not assigned a fixed building number, but were still standing in the square waiting.
After all, it was Saturday, and there were so many policemen in the community. Many people who came to watch the fun came down to watch. Of course, most of them were old men and women.
Zhao Xinli had sharp eyes and spotted the fat old lady from the morning among the crowd of people watching the excitement. He pulled Zhou Ning over quickly.
"Aunt, do you still remember me?"
The fat old lady was startled and then smiled.
"Remember, remember, young men, what are you doing? Haven't you found the old man named Chen?"
The fat old lady was talking to Zhou Ning. This was the advantage of being good-looking. No matter what age, one would be more friendly towards such a handsome face. Zhou Ning gestured for them to walk to the stone table in the square. The three of them sat down and then Zhou Ning asked.
"Aunt, you've been in the community for a long time. Can you tell me more about this Chen Zhenya?"
"Chen Zhenya? Is that the old Chen?"
Zhou Ning nodded.
"Yes, it's him. We want to know more about the situation from you. Who is Chen Zhenya close to in the community? Or who has a very bad relationship with him? Even if they have had a quarrel, it's fine. Tell us everything you know."
The fat old lady stopped smiling and there was a hint of caution on her face.
"Young man, tell me what crime this guy committed that requires so many police officers to investigate?"
Zhou Ning paused. The case had not been finalized yet, and it would be against the rules to reveal it. Zhao Xinli did not think too much about it. He approached the fat old lady and said in a low voice:
"Aunt, I can only reveal one thing to you. Chen Zhenya was killed, and we haven't found the murderer. If I can find out from you, we can catch the murderer as soon as possible. You can feel more at ease living here, right?"
Zhou Ning was stunned and glanced at Zhao Xinli, who blinked at him.
Sure enough, the old lady understood everything and slapped her thigh.
"My guess is right. That old man is so stubborn and weird. He will cause trouble sooner or later."
Zhao Xinli squatted on the ground, approached the fat old lady as if chatting, and asked with a gossipy look on his face.
"Aunt, we won't take any statements. We're just chatting. Tell me what you saw or heard. We'll investigate what happened. Don't worry, you won't be implicated. We're all doing this for the safety of our children and family. If you live in the same neighborhood as the murderer, you won't be able to sleep well, right?"
Zhou Ning didn't say anything. Zhao Xinli was good at chatting, and his words touched the fat old lady's heart.
"The fat boy is right. I'll talk to you guys about this. I told my son and his wife before, and they told me to mind my own business. But this old man Chen has a bad character, so we just avoid him."
"Why is his character bad? Didn't we say before that this old man kept looking for a partner? Is there something else going on?"
The fat old lady leaned forward, looked around, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:
"Who can talk about such dirty things? This summer, a little girl from Building 3 went missing. We all helped to look for her and finally found her in the pavilion outside the community. The child was terrified.
After comforting her for a long time, the child said that an old man carried her to the pavilion, touched her all over, and took off her panties. The parents asked which old man it was, and the child pointed at Old Chen and said it was this black old man.
The parents got into an argument with Old Chen and almost came to blows. Old Chen held a stick and yelled, "How can you trust the words of a four or five-year-old child? He was just fishing in the pond next to the pavilion. If anything goes wrong, call the police."
After arguing for a long time, the family finally left with the child because they were afraid of being embarrassed. They didn’t call the police or anything. After all, there was no surveillance and no evidence. The child’s statement alone didn’t count. But we all told the child not to approach Old Chen alone.”
Hearing this, Zhou Ning was stunned. This old man was so dirty.
Suddenly, he remembered that Yu Jingwei, who rented the house, was traveling with his daughter. Could it be...
Zhao Xinli widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.
"Is this true? This old man is so old, can he do this?"
The fat old lady looked serious and tilted her head and said:
"Although we didn't call the police, I don't think the child would lie about this. The family is in Room 601, Unit 2, Building 3. If you don't believe me, go ask them. But the parents are very secretive and they may not tell us even if you ask them. They may also be afraid of affecting the child."
Zhou Ning winked at Zhao Xinli and handed him a few words typed on the phone. Zhao Xinli got up and made a phone call. This matter must be verified. If it was true, it was most likely revenge.
"Is it just this time that Auntie was discovered?"
The fat old lady nodded.
"I only know about this one time. It's not a glorious thing. Who can make a big fuss about it? It's because the child was lost this time and everyone helped to look for him. That's why I know a little bit. But few people in the community know the details."
Zhou Ning searched through the pictures in his mobile phone. During the previous special project meeting, he saved a photo of Yu Jingwei and handed it to the fat old lady.
"Aunt, take a look. Do you know this person?"
The fat old lady took a closer look and then suddenly realized.
“Isn’t this the tenant whose house the police visited yesterday?”
"Is he dating this Chen Zhenya? Or have they ever had any conflicts? From what I know, there is also a girl in his family."
The fat old lady shook her head.
"I don't know him well. He doesn't live in the house he rents. There's always a tall young man living here. Oh, he has a daughter with him. She seems to be studying at the Haigang Primary School next to the community."
"Tall young man?"
The fat old lady looked Zhou Ning up and down.
"Well, he's about two or three fingers shorter than you, about 1.80 meters tall, but a bit stronger than you. I've only seen him but never talked to him, so I don't know his last name."
Zhou Ning recalled and it seemed that he was talking about Wang Yi, a very tall man. He remembered that Wang Yi said that he and Yu Jingwei were classmates, and Yu Jingwei also entrusted his dog to him to take care of when he went traveling.
Just then, a man quickly ran to the fat old lady, pulled her up from the chair, with an anxious and vigilant look on his face.
"Mom, why did you come out? The child is crying at home. Go back and check on him."
The fat old lady was pulled to her feet and patted her son's arm hard.
"Why are you arresting me? If the police ask me, I have to tell them clearly. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"You have no control over your mouth. Go home now."
The man spoke anxiously and reached out to pull the fat old lady. In fact, Zhou Ning understood the man's reaction very well. After all, in this society, it is better to have less trouble than more. Especially when encountering a homicide case, many people are unwilling to come out to testify . Who is not afraid of revenge? After all, these are extremely vicious people and ordinary people cannot deal with them.
Zhou Ning stood up and nodded slightly to the fat old lady.
"Thank you, auntie. Don't worry, we won't affect your normal life."
The man said nothing else and left with the fat old lady.
At this time, Zhao Xinli and Xu Dayuan came back. Seeing the fat old lady left, they both looked at Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning repeated what the fat old lady said, and Xu Dayuan nodded continuously.
"It's understandable. They all have children, and no one wants to cause trouble. I'll ask He Chunyang to bring Yu Jingwei back. He has already been found in Luxi Province. Zhao Xinli will send Xiao Zhou, the forensic doctor, back."
Zhou Ning did not resist. He could not participate much, so he had to wait for the results of their interrogation.
…
It was almost five o'clock when we returned to the forensic room.
Zhou Ning saw Liu Yongxin in front of the computer and hurried over.
"Master, are the test results from the Municipal Bureau out?"
Liu Yongxin took off his reading glasses and moved away from the computer.
"It has been sent. Please take a look. Sea salt, fish, and mud were found between the fingernails of the deceased. The blood analysis results showed that high concentrations of nifedipine and losartan potassium were found in the blood and stomach contents of the deceased. It seems that the deceased had high blood pressure and took medicine one or two hours before his death."
Zhou Ning took a closer look and the result was as expected. He flipped through a few pages and saw the sampling results on the nylon rope. Two DNAs were found, one from the deceased and the other from a different person whose DNA was not found in the system.
This discovery is almost as likely as winning the lottery. The very small.
Seeing this, Zhou Ning was thoughtful.
The victim was wearing latex gloves when he slashed Chen Zhenya's face. It's impossible that he strangled Chen Zhenya and then remembered that he was not wearing gloves and put them on in the middle. Thirty-two stabs showed a lot of anger. Does that mean that the murderer didn't notice that his gloves were torn?
"Master, if we find a suspect and draw blood for DNA comparison, would that be considered conclusive evidence?"
