Chapter 451

He opened the livestream out of habit, and then saw that the office was filled with cigarette smoke.

Chen Fan, with reddened eye circles, said, "If it were me, I couldn't stand it. If someone can send me a card today, tomorrow they could kill me."

Over here, Li Tian was speechless and said, "Stop wasting time. If you don't slaughter that guy, it would count as you being merciful. That guy isn't stupid. I was wondering why I couldn't find him—turns out he's been watching us this whole time."

He looked at the people in the hall.

The hall chief said, 'This is a declaration of war, isn't it.'

Li Tian said, "It has to be a declaration of war."

Chen Fan said, "It must be a declaration of war. I think so too."

The hall chief looked at Chen Fan speechlessly and said, "Kid, what exactly are you waiting for?"

Li Tian said, "Waiting for you to give the order—no holds barred, no cost—to catch this person."

The hall chief was speechless, looking at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said, "I didn't say anything. Let me tell you, I'm a good person. What's with that look? It's as if you're saying I'm not a good person."

Here, the hall chief tapped his fingers on the desk and said, "Fine, you do it."

Chen Fan said, "Then I'll handle the case using my forensic methods."

"Whatever, as long as it's not illegal. Any method is fine as long as we can catch the person."

Chen Fan pointed at the camera and said, "Then turn that off first. I'll handle it myself."

Several people nodded.

The camera was turned off, which meant someone was about to be arrested here.

In the observation room, Qin Ming silently began praying in his heart.

Teacher He said, "Teacher Qin Ming, what are you doing?"

"I'm sympathizing with that person. Sigh, why bother? You just had to disturb Chen Fan's sleep. This guy has terrible morning grumpiness."

Sister Yuanyuan didn't dare speak on the side, because she knew this all too well. If you provoked Chen Fan while he was sleeping, once he got up, your bones would all fall apart.

The livestream still had to go on, but it was mostly introducing some of the work of the Public Security Bureau, letting everyone become a bit familiar with it.

But in reality, Chen Fan whistled a tune and happily headed out.

He was sleepy, sure, but having gotten the imperial sword, Chen Fan naturally started lying.

And the people following Chen Fan went from three to four.

Chen Fan went to the cleaning room, looked at the clothes, and inspected them.

Basically getting a general idea was enough.

"Mm, not bad. I think I roughly know what's going on."

"Roughly know?"

Zhang Tianxiong was very surprised.

Chen Fan said, "To get someone to do something, the best way is to use firearms. And with our country's regulation of firearms, it's impossible to allow that many."

"Oh, you mean investigate from the factory?"

Chen Fan said, 'That won't be necessary. Just looking similar is enough. But actually, there's something else I didn't say—I didn't say it during the livestream.'

"What?"

"Actually, the people who were threatened into rape aren't all identical. This guy has other intentions."

Other intentions?

Zhang Tianxiong said, "What intentions?"

"Wait until you get a wife, then you'll understand. Men, at certain times, will think up all kinds of tricks. Trust me, I never doubt the ugliness of human nature. How many of these victims do you think would actively cater to the criminal perpetrator, going wild before death?"

The few underlings beside Zhang Tianxiong began to feel a chill down their spines.

Holy shit, is it that terrifying?

"All of this can be detected by a forensic examiner..."

"This can be detected too?"

Chen Fan said, "I'm a forensic examiner. You want me to reason through a case? I can't. I only work from the corpse. I'm not Li Tian. You didn't think I was going to do the reasoning, did you?"

Reasoning—Chen Fan didn't understand it at all, and besides, Chen Fan didn't believe in reasoning either. Only real data is the most reliable.

Analyzing the data bit by bit.

Chen Fan examined all the corpses he knew of.

Laying them out together.

A forensic examiner can see many things from a corpse.

Photos—sometimes the appearance is the most truthful.

Chen Fan was inferring something, something quite novel.

"From what I've inferred, this person's body is actually half—excluding special personnel—then this person's age should be around thirty-five."

"Mm, most importantly, this person himself has to be relatively handsome..."

"Also, easy to attract some middle-aged women,"

Zhang Tianxiong watched Chen Fan drawing.

Soon, a relatively handsome middle-aged man appeared in the photo.

"The first one discovered is definitely someone this man is most familiar with, because people mostly start with those they know, then move on to strangers, gradually spreading outward."

"After that, the case is actually simple..."

Comparing photos—familiar people, contact list photos, friends, searching person by person.

Don't look for the living; the dead can be looked for.

Soon, Chen Fan found a dead man.

GLOSSARY:

【Chen Fan, Li Tian, Qin Ming, Zhang Tianxiong, Sister Yuanyuan】

data that matched his own.

"This guy is the one who committed the crime?"

"Yes. By the way, how did this person die?"

Zhang Tianxiong called over there to inquire; the reason given on the other end of the line was death by suicide.

Suicide?

Hanging himself to death?

That basically matches.

Chen Fan continued, "By the way, did you do a paternity test?"

"Paternity test? You mean between the deceased child and the father?"

"Yes."

"No one went to do that... You wouldn't be saying..."

Chen Fan said, "Just a guess. True or false, I'm not sure. I sent Qu Yiling to do it..."

Soon, the phone rang, and Chen Fan received a result.

None of them were biological children.

But if none of them were biological children, how could this person know these people, how could he find these people?

The hospital is not realistic; the hospital keeps secrets.

But in the human world, there is only one place where secrets do not exist, especially for children—a place where secrets do not exist.

Chen Fan and Zhang Tianxiong appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

A man responsible for standing guard at the entrance was yawning at that moment.

Chen Fan handed the man a cigarette and said, "Master, have a cigarette."

The man said, "Thanks, young man. Are you here to get married?"

"Not exactly. We're here to beat someone up."

After speaking, Chen Fan intended to strike, but the man reacted quickly and immediately took off running.

Just as Zhang Tianxiong and the others rushed out, the man pulled out a handgun and fired two shots into the sky: bang, bang.

Zhang Tianxiong was completely stunned.

Decisive. Ruthless.

This guy is a madman. Damn it.

Chen Fan was not in a hurry; instead, he took a ball out of his pocket, calculating.
