Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 30 It’s time to wrap up this case

Zhou Yi looked at the three appraisal reports in his hand.

The first report, concerning clothing and pants, stated that the evidence had been repeatedly rinsed with a disinfectant and no trace of blood was found. The report also noted that treating the bloodstained clothing with peroxide would have destroyed the protein structure of the remaining blood, rendering it undetectable.

This is completely consistent with the several empty bottles of disinfectant found during the search of Zhang Xinli's home, indicating that Zhang Xinli had made preparations in a premeditated manner.

The second one was from a shoe, and it was exactly the same size and sole pattern as the size 42 footprint found during the on-site investigation; but it had also been repeatedly soaked and washed, with no traces of blood or dirt remaining.

The third sample was from the fruit knife, and a large number of fingerprints were found on the handle. Based on the order of fingerprint coverage, the technical department extracted the fingerprints of four people respectively, and the last fingerprint was consistent with the fingerprint left by the butcher. The earliest fingerprint was incomplete, and only half of it was extracted in the end.

But just this half is enough, because it matches Zhang Xinli's fingerprint perfectly.

But no fingerprints of Wang Youfu were found.

After forensic confirmation, the length of the blade was found to be completely consistent with the wound marks on the deceased's body and the wound marks on Zhou Yi's arm, confirming that it was the murder weapon.

A large amount of animal fat was extracted from the blade, but no human blood was found. Finally, the technical department disassembled the plastic handle and found a small amount of blood in the gap between the handle and the blade.

It was confirmed that the blood type was an exact match with that of the deceased Du Xiaolin.

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Now that all the physical evidence was available, the case was entering its final stages.

But he couldn't be happy, especially after learning that Zhang Xinli was pregnant with twins.

He was wondering whether Zhang Xinli, who had been at large, had successfully given birth to the twins in her belly since the case had remained unsolved for 27 years before his rebirth.

In such an environment, what kind of life will the children face?

Now that the result is like this, what kind of life will the child face in the future if he is born?
He had heard of the theory that a butterfly, flapping its wings, eventually caused a huge storm across the sea.

He didn't know if he was the butterfly flapping its wings.

"Zhou Yi, Sister Qiao sent a fax from the hospital, clearly stating it's for you." Chen Yan ran over.

Zhou Yi took the paper and took a look, sure enough!

Residues of a controlled anesthetic drug were found in Wang Youfu's body, and Zhou Yi's guess was once again confirmed.

What he didn't know was how surprised Qiao Jiali at the hospital was when she received the test report.

When others asked her what was wrong, she only answered with two words: detective.

"Captain Wu, the relevant reports are out, take a look."

"Oh, okay." Wu Yongcheng came back to his senses and was about to put out the cigarette in his hand, but found that the cigarette was not lit at all.

Zhou Yi saw it all, and Captain Wu was indeed worried.

Wu Yongcheng took out the cigarette box and put the cigarette back.

"Let's go and wrap up this case."

……

In the interrogation room, Zhang Xinli's mood was obviously much calmer.

When Zhou Yi came up, he placed two key pieces of evidence in front of Zhang Xinli, in order to remind her not to think that she could get away with it anymore.

And experience told him that Zhang Xinli's current look was completely the look of a criminal who had given up resistance.

"I was the one who killed Du Xiaolin."

The first words Zhang Xinli said again announced that this unsolved case that had remained silent for twenty-seven years in another time and space had come to an end.

"Tell me in detail, including your motive for committing the crime and the process of committing the crime. Explain it in detail."

“All this started four years ago.

At that time, our hospital organized an exchange and study opportunity to go to a hospital in the capital, and I was selected.

The person in charge of the exchange group at that time was Zhu Xuejun.

Of course I have heard of his name. After all, he is the most famous expert in the hospital and a favorite of the dean.

I thought he was an elderly man, but he was only in his early forties. He seemed difficult to get along with, and always spoke in a serious manner, which was intimidating. We took the green train to the capital, which took more than ten hours.

Unexpectedly, on the train, he took the initiative to talk to me and even gave me the fruit that others gave him, which made me flattered.

During the conversation, I found that he was not as serious as he looked. He behaved very gentlemanly and was good at speaking in a way that would please girls.

But I didn't expect that all this was just his disguise.

Later we arrived in the capital and our journey lasted a week.

One day after get off work, he suddenly found me and said he wanted to treat me to a meal alone.

I went, and to be honest I had selfish motives.

I'm a foreigner living in Hongcheng, and my life is exhausting. I live in a rented apartment and eat in the cafeteria. Why can't I enjoy life? Why should I suffer at such a young age?
Is it because my reincarnation is not as good as others?
I can not be reconciled.

But none of the men who pursued me were worthy of my attention, especially that Wang Youfu. He didn't even look in the mirror. How could I possibly like him?

It would be great if I could marry a doctor. They earn more than us, don’t have to work three shifts, and have a future.

But there are only so many doctors, but there are many nurses, and every year there are young girls who have just graduated and come in.

Although Zhu Xuejun is older, he is a chief expert and he must be very rich.

By marrying him, I can change my destiny.

That night we had dinner, watched a movie, and then went to the park.

While walking in the park, he suddenly kissed me and said he liked me very much.

Later that night, when we returned to the hotel, I followed him to his room.

That night was my first time. He was very excited when he saw the blood on the white sheets and said that he would treat me well.

I thought I was going to have a good life soon.

But the next day, I heard from other colleagues that he was married and had a ten-year-old son.

I was completely stunned and in a daze the whole day.

It wasn't until he came to me in the evening that I realized what was going on.

I beat him, called him a liar, and wanted to report him to the hospital leaders.

He hugged me tightly and told me that he and his wife had no feelings for each other anymore, had been sleeping in separate rooms for several years, and had always planned to divorce.

He said he fell in love with me at first sight and was willing to divorce his wife for me and then marry me legally.

I was deceived by his sweet words. He knelt in front of me and vowed that he would divorce his wife and marry me.

I chose to believe him and became obsessed with his lies.

After returning from the capital, I became his lover.

He rented a house for me and came to my place two or three times a week.

Every time he came over, I would cook a table full of dishes and I thought we were on a date.

But as soon as he walked in, all he wanted was to have sex with me. I was just a tool for him to satisfy his desires.

So later on, I stopped cooking since he didn’t eat anyway.

He never stays overnight at my place; he always stays for a while and then leaves.

He was also extremely cautious. He never met me near the hospital and never let me mention him to anyone.

He said that if our affair became known, his future would be ruined and he would not be able to marry me.

Later I found out that none of what he said was true.
