Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

"What did he take to get his DNA tested?" Zhou Yang's voice suddenly rose, startling Wang Chao, who was standing outside the door. He glanced around with a puzzled look, but finding nothing unusual, he looked away again, paying attention to his surroundings.

"I don't know, it seems to be a shirt or pants?" Yao Fengshou was now quite forthcoming with what he knew: "Officer, Gong Xiaojun's matter really has nothing to do with Xiao Tao. He specifically told me not to let me cause any more trouble!"

Yao Fengshou sat on the bed, rubbing his hands together anxiously, his face growing increasingly worried.

Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "What did he say back then?"

A look of reminiscence crossed Yao Fengshou's eyes, then he frowned: "He said the murderer wasn't Gong Xiaojun. I don't know why he was so sure, but Xiao Tao must have his reasons for saying and doing this!"

Zhou Yang nodded, which explained why Gong Xiaojun hadn't died but had been taken to the hospital.

Otherwise, given Zhong Tao and Yao Fengshou's personalities, since Gong Xiaojun's life and death were already in their hands, and he was the perpetrator, they would likely kill him.

In other words, Gong Xiaojun has cleared himself of suspicion, or Zhong Tao has evidence pointing to the person who assaulted Zhong Yue back then?

Therefore, he needs to go to Xijing to have his DNA checked!

There is currently no DNA database for comparison nationwide. To prove or clear someone of suspicion, DNA comparison is necessary. Could Zhong Tao be carrying the DNA of the person who harmed Zhong Yue?

If that's the case, then Zhong Tao, Gong Xiaojun, and the perpetrator likely knew each other or had contact with each other, which would have allowed Zhong Tao to obtain the perpetrator's DNA.

"Did Gong Xiaojun and Zhong Tao have any contact after the end of last month?" Zhou Yang asked Yao Fengshou.

"Yes!" Yao Fengshou nodded. "The two talked for a while, and Gong Xiaojun even gave Xiao Tao some money!"

Yao Fengshou recalled that he strongly opposed Zhong Tao taking the money from the other party because he felt it was irresponsible to Zhong Yue. He felt it was unacceptable for a brother to take money from someone who had harmed his sister.

But Zhong Tao said that this was Gong Xiaojun's compensation for his previous reckless remarks, and that Zhong Yue really needed the money. Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing Zhou Yang with his head down, deep in thought, Yao Fengshou couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Zhong Tao did not receive much education and lacked opportunities to learn about DNA. None of the three people around him, Yao Fengshou, Zhong Yue, and Yuan Lili, would bring up this issue on their own initiative.

Furthermore, given that Gong Xiaojun cleared his name through him and they had even been in contact again, Zhou Yang could deduce that this information was most likely provided by Gong Xiaojun.

As for how Gong Xiaojun found out, it may have come from his father or other sources. Back then, people in the bureau said that Gong Hongxing also had business in Xi'an.

After surviving a near-death experience, Gong Xiaojun's personality changed drastically. He even apologized to Tian Mingming, whom he had previously hurt. It was only natural that he would find Zhong Tao to admit his mistakes.

Then he died!

Gong Xiaojun has found the murderer!

Perhaps it's about reflecting on one's own mistakes, or trying to persuade the other person?

Since Zhong Tao used DNA for comparison, it means he already had a suspect in mind. Was this person his own opinion, or was it someone Gong Xiaojun said?

"Besides Gong Xiaojun, have you used the method of 'living alive' on anyone else?" Zhou Yang asked.

"No, no!" Yao Fengshou quickly shook his head: "There's only one, only him!"

Zhou Yang nodded, then it was most likely that Gong Xiaojun revealed it, because at that time Zhong Tao only suspected Gong Xiaojun, otherwise it would have been reasonable for him to kidnap another person after believing that it was not Gong Xiaojun.

It was through contact with Gong Xiaojun that Zhong Tao learned about the DNA, so he took Zhong Yue's clothes to Xi'an for comparison to identify the murderer.

Meanwhile, after Gong Xiaojun found the murderer, he was surprised to find that the other party not only did not appreciate his help, but even killed him!

If we extrapolate in this way, everything seems to make sense.

Did the murderer know that Zhong Tao was going to Xijing to have his DNA checked?

If he didn't know, that would be fine. But if he did know, what would he do?

Kill Zhong Tao!

Zhou Yang snapped to attention: "Brother Chao, we need to get to the station right now, quick!"

Then, he turned to Yao Fengshou: "Now think seriously about it. Since what happened to Zhong Yue, have any of the men who visited her, regardless of age, been casual visitors?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Yao Fengshou's arm: "Think about it in the car!"

......

Throughout the journey, Wang Chao noticed that Zhou Yang's face remained serious, so he didn't disturb him. He simply tried to avoid any bumps while maintaining a fast speed.

Meanwhile, Yao Fengshou, holding the paper and pen Zhou Yang had just handed him, was also writing something in the characters he could understand.

The only noise inside the carriage was the tire noise as it rolled over the road.

There are two ways to get from Ning'an to Xi'an. One is to take a bus to Pingyun, the provincial capital, where there are buses or trains to Xi'an. The other is to wait at the Ning'an highway interchange, where a bus passes by every afternoon and you can take it directly to Xi'an.

According to Zhou Yang and Wang Chao's investigation, fewer than seven people have visited Xijing in the past few days, and none of them match Zhong Tao's characteristics!

The two were initially worried that your memory might be inaccurate, but after consulting two staff members, they discovered that their accounts were identical.

Why can you remember it so clearly?

Because they receive commissions, they all keep a notebook to record everything, which undoubtedly makes Zhou Yang's work easier.

"Aren't we going to ask at the station?" Wang Chao asked when Zhou Yang didn't speak.

"We're not going!" Zhou Yang shook his head. "There are too many people, the shifts are too varied, and they don't have any particularly distinctive features. Basically, very few people will remember them. But we can have the local police officers go and interview them!"

Zhou Yang had seen Zhong Tao's photos and found him to be quite ordinary. Most people are like that; unless they are acquaintances or have some interaction with him, it is difficult for them to leave an impression.

However, if someone is exceptionally beautiful, exceptionally ugly, has a peculiar style of clothing, or has a physical disability, they are actually easier to identify.

Under normal circumstances, if Zhong Tao were to go to Xijing, he would most likely go directly from the transit station, which would be simple and quick. There would be no need to go to Pingyun first and then take a train or bus.

The train fare is about the same as here, and considering the time spent getting to Pingyun and waiting for the train, the actual travel time is about the same.

Furthermore, the bus fare from Pingyun to Xijing is much higher.

Zhou Yang felt that if Zhong Tao was going to Xijing, Ning'an was actually the best choice for someone who had never seen the world, lived frugally, and rarely left the city.

Actually, there was another point: Zhou Yang had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
