With Gu Changzheng gone, Luo Fei did not know what to ask, and dared not speak randomly for fear of disrupting Gu Changzheng’s plan. Ren Jiahe still wore a sorrowful expression, leaning back in his chair with eyes closed, as if mourning his deceased wife—or perhaps thinking of something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The awkward silence lasted ten minutes before the meeting room door opened again, and Gu Changzheng reappeared before Ren Jiahe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Luo, let Mr. Ren review the interrogation transcript.” “Mr. Ren, no problem—just sign it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Jiahe took the transcript from Luo Fei, scanned it quickly, and signed it while asking: “Captain Gu, when can I go back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changzheng knew he meant Fenglin Garden. He said: “Oh, we’ll notify you. Wait a bit—it won’t be long. You’ve had a tough few days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Jiahe said nothing, bid farewell, and left the Criminal Investigation Unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 10:30 p.m., Luo Fei returned to the Criminal Division office and saw that Gu Changzheng’s office light was still on. Filled with questions, he pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changzheng leaned back in his chair, eyes shut. Luo Fei thought he had fallen asleep and was tiptoeing to leave when Gu Changzheng spoke: “Xiao Luo, what’s new?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei stopped and said: “Captain Gu, Liu Han’s back! Major discovery!” No sooner had he spoken than Liu Han burst into Gu Changzheng’s office with two forensic technicians, holding a evidence bag containing a black lace bra!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening, September 21st, 9 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a modest house on the city’s outskirts, Shu Jiaqing lay comfortably on a greasy wooden bed, having just finished half a pound of Qingjiang liquor with peanuts and pig’s head meat. His head was slightly drunk, and he felt utterly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his legs on the bed, eyes closed, humming an unknown tune under his breath, face filled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered whether the woman would notice the thing he’d left inside her bra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would, he suddenly laughed out loud: “Hah!” Such a beautiful woman—I’ve had intimate contact with her! Too bad she didn’t leave her panties outside—if she had…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lecherous man fantasized about sordid scenes; combined with the alcohol, he soared once more into euphoria…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening, September 21st, 11:30 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jiangnan District, inside Ren Jiahe’s company office, Ren Jiahe decided to stay overnight at the office. Fortunately, a resting room had been prepared for him—it was convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick wash, he lay down on the long sofa and finally felt his whole body ache. Today had been exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to drift off, his phone screen lit up beside him—a blue glow that seemed eerie in the dark night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Jiahe grabbed the phone. A text message appeared before him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, in Fenglin Garden, Jiangdong District, Building 3, Unit 2, Apartment 401, a thin, bald man was fiddling with a phone. After sending the text, he picked up the beer bottle before him and took a deep gulp. The blue glow from the screen illuminated his face—a cruel, monstrous visage that looked like a demon from hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, the Criminal Division office of Jiangdong Branch remained brightly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changzheng stared at the recovered black bra, listening to Liu Han’s report on its recovery. He lit a cigarette, leaned back, and frowned in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too easy? Without doubt, the lost clothing must bear traces of the suspect. It was almost as if the killer was guiding the police to solve the case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changzheng asked: “Any results from the forensic analysis?” Liu Han replied: “Fingerprints on the garment include several not belonging to the victim—we’re running comparisons. The semen stains found inside have been sent to the municipal lab for DNA testing. Captain, are we finally catching the suspect’s tail?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Good work. Wait for Teacher Zheng’s results. You guys find somewhere to rest—you might get suspect info any minute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, not long after, Wu Yan rushed into Gu Changzheng’s office, shouting: “Captain Gu! The fingerprint match is done—we found the owner of the prints on Ge Manli’s bra!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had suspected it, Gu Changzheng still leapt from his chair: “Give me the results!”\u003C\u002Fp>",714,"2026-06-20T19:35:30.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a9d414d307be2a553e5b241403e7bf88e606f2d6ef8b1022b8066b48499c962","chasing-the-criminal-case-chapter-5","chasing-the-criminal-case-chapter-3",276,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fchasing-the-criminal-case-cover.jpg"]
