Chapter 978: Suspect Identified

Yang Lin put the relevant specimen into the instrument and turned to busy himself with other tasks.

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang out, startling the four people at work!

The alarm was urgent and loud, causing the few of them to instinctively look up towards the source of the sound.

"Is there something?"

Then, Yang Lin dashed over.

He checked the instrument’s identification results.

The other three also came over.

To save time, Liu Guodong and his team of four decided to first identify organic substances during their micro-trace evidence identification analysis of the entire sculpture.

Only by identifying the organic substances can they further analyze them.

Otherwise, if they were to fully conduct micro-trace evidence identification on a specimen, the workload would be too immense; even in a year, they couldn’t finish it.

"Specimen 167!"

Yang Lin glanced at the specimen inside and found that the number on the side was indeed the 167 specimen he had just placed into the instrument.

The alarm sound from the testing instrument was precisely the prompt tone when an organic substance was detected.

"Quickly, conduct a full analysis of this specimen."

Liu Guodong instructed.

Although an organic substance was detected, it wasn’t immediately clear what it was, which warranted further testing to determine if it might be hair, a nail, or skin flakes.

But regardless of what it was, conducting a comprehensive identification of this specimen could reveal what it actually was and allow for a detailed analysis of its components. If lucky, some DNA information might even be extracted.

It can be said that Heaven rewards diligent efforts; Yang Lin achieved a conclusion after re-identifying and analyzing specimen 167, which contained a bit of human epidermal tissue.

In other words, skin flakes.

Even though it’s minuscule, micro-trace evidence identification analysis could still obtain the DNA information inside.

Zhang Hui leaped up from the sofa upon receiving the news.

"Are you serious?"

The subordinate detective nodded heavily: "Deputy Captain Liu personally called to say they’ve found the DNA information and are currently conducting system verification. If the opposite party’s information is entered into the system..."

Before he finished speaking, they heard a piercing alarm emanate from the crime scene investigation office next door.

Damn!

I rushed out upon hearing the alarm, which signified the DNA match was successful.

Others evidently heard the alarm as well; many investigative personnel all rushed towards the crime scene investigation office.

"Found the match?"

That was Zhang Hui’s first question.

Sitting in front of the computer, Yang Lin nodded emphatically, not expecting the match to be successfully made.

"We found it!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Yang Lin had large eye bags and his eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was exceptionally high.

He had joined the Criminal Investigation Team and had been there nearly a year since Lu Chuan left.

To be honest, during the first half of this period, Yang Lin was learning, following Yang Sen, Old Bai, and Liu Guodong to absorb some experiences and techniques passed down by the older generation.

So initially, Yang Lin didn’t quickly adapt and was still a trainee, unable to directly engage in crime scene inspection work.

Luckily, Yang Lin was a trained professional, and his academic performance was quite good. After a period of adaptation, he quickly found his footing, especially with Liu Guodong’s team providing hands-on teaching. Also, for complex issues, he often privately consulted Lu Chuan, resulting in rapid technical progress.

After about half a year, he gradually managed to independently perform some crime scene inspections, such as fingerprint identification and crime scene photography.

However, being involved in such a major case and obtaining key clues was a first for him.

Yang Lin felt as if he were a crucial part of the whole case.

From smashing the plaster statue and categorizing the specimens to the identification and analysis of organic and inorganic substances within the specimens leading to the discovery of skin flakes and DNA information extraction, up to the successful system comparison, Yang Lin participated in every step.

Frankly speaking, if the DNA information owner’s identity matched that of the murderer, the case would be solved by the crime scene investigation office.

And during this period, Yang Lin hadn’t gone home once in the 20 days since the case began. He had been sleeping in the office, sometimes even the lab.

He hadn’t missed a single part of the process, and one could say he was the key to solving the case.

If this case were truly solved, he could probably earn another third-class merit.

Third-class merit...

Yang Lin had previously acquired one when solving a case with Lu Chuan.

But this time was different.

This was something Yang Lin achieved completely through his own efforts. Although Lu Chuan provided some guidance, the specific work was done by Yang Lin and his team.

Upon hearing the alarm, news reached Qin Yong’s side as well, and he immediately rushed out from his office.

"Found the match?"

In response to Qin Yong’s inquiry, Liu Guodong immediately replied: "The match was successful. It’s someone with a previous record for intentional injury."

Previous record?

That pretty much confirmed the killer.

Inside the plaster sealing the body, they discovered skin flakes from someone with a criminal record.

The likelihood of the person being the killer was 100%.

"Zhang Hui, find him immediately and bring him back!"

"Yes!"

With the suspect’s identity known, capturing them became easy.

Personnel information quickly reached Zhang Hui; the suspect was still living in Haizhou City, and indeed in the High-tech Zone.

Zhang Hui called Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan also hadn’t expected a lead to be found in the plaster, identifying the suspect.

Being within the jurisdiction of the High-tech Zone, Lu Chuan personally led the team to work with Zhang Hui on capturing the suspect.

Meimei Car Wash.

"Confirmed, the person is inside."

Zhang Hui, Lu Chuan, and others had already gathered information about the suspect.

The suspect, named Wang Biao, was imprisoned ten years ago for intentional harm and served two years before being released.

Now Wang Biao ran a car wash, which appeared to be quite sizable.

Zhang Hui’s team had someone pretend to be a customer to investigate, confirming that the Boss, Wang Biao, was inside.

"Good, proceed according to plan, take action immediately!"

About a dozen detectives burst into the office, where Wang Biao was playing mahjong with a few others.

Wang Biao was quite alert; seeing the group rush in, he flipped the table and attempted to escape through a nearby window.

However, with both Zhang Hui and Lu Chuan personally involved, letting him escape would have been laughable.

"Hold them off!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Biao instructed the others playing cards to block them while he tried to flee, and indeed, those individuals prepared to take action.

"Don’t move! Police!"

Police?

Damn!

The three card players with Wang Biao, upon seeing the gun barrels, dared not move.

Each obediently lay on the ground, while Wang Biao hadn’t even had a chance to get out the window before he was kicked back inside by Lu Chuan.

"What’s your name?"

Handcuffing each of them, Zhang Hui asked sternly.

Lu Chuan’s kick was fierce, landing directly on Wang Biao’s chest; he was now handcuffed and was coughing and retching, unable to speak.
