Chapter 1120 - 574: This Time, an Unconventional Approach!

Ten minutes later, Director Hou, Chen Guan, Jiang An, and Qin Feng together delivered the trace evidence extracted from the ceiling panel to the evidence laboratory.

At this moment, the young officer Zhang, who was on duty in the evidence laboratory, was holding a pipette and wearing a mask.

He initially thought it was a routine submission for inspection.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the laboratory’s glass door, he suddenly saw Mr. Chen and Director Hou among them.

He quickly removed his mask and said, "Mr. Chen, Director Hou."

"Are you here for an inspection?"

"I’ll call our lab director over right away!"

"No, no, it’s just normal evidence, no need to be so nervous."

Vice Director Chen waved his hand and said, "Zhang, it’s just ordinary evidence, no need to bother the director. He’s getting old, and it’s quite tiring for him at night, let him rest."

"But with both of you leaders here, I think it would be more prudent to call him over."

"No need. Once we hand over this evidence to you, we’re going straight down to interrogation."

As he spoke, Qin Feng raised the evidence bag in his hand and shook it, "Didn’t expect you two big shots to personally come over when we submitted this for inspection?"

"This is a trace of blood we found on the ceiling of a bathroom in a house in Zhujiang City. It’s been tested with Luminol Reagent and can be confirmed as blood drops."

"Please test this blood and compare it with the DNA of the deceased Li Ailing."

"Alright! I’ll get to it right away."

Mr. Chen immediately asked, "What’s the earliest we can get results on this blood trace?"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang replied, "According to our fastest blood trace testing speed, it would take at least an hour and a half."

"An hour and a half?"

He glanced at his watch; there’s no time!

It’s now an hour until Zhang Xiang’s release.

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

Didn’t expect there would be a half-hour time gap at this critical moment.

Once Zhang Xiang is released, it’ll be a hefty price to bring him back.

He might even escape right after leaving the interrogation room.

He’s as cunning as a rabbit, and it’d be hard to catch him again.

At this time, Chen Guan furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "What’s the fastest time the lab can produce results?"

"Fastest might take around an hour and twenty minutes."

"Think of a way, speed it up a bit."

The young officer seemed a bit pained, "I will do my utmost to compress the time while ensuring accuracy."

"Alright, thank you in advance."

As he spoke, Mr. Chen patted the young officer’s shoulder.

With this pat, the young officer gained confidence and immediately saluted.

"I assure you the task will be completed! I will go all out this time!"

"Good, get to work quickly."

Immediately, Zhang hurried back into the laboratory with the evidence bag.

At this moment, Director Hou spoke up, "We can’t just wait here idly; I think we should proceed in parallel."

"On one hand, the lab speeds up the detection of the extracted blood while on the other, our interrogation must continue."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guan nodded, "I think Director Hou makes sense."

"We are almost certain that the blood should be Li Ailing’s."

He turned to look at Jiang An, as if Jiang An’s answer was the most reliable.

Jiang An nodded, "Based on my experience, I can deduce the possibility is over 90%."

"Alright, with your word, I’m reassured."

Immediately, Chen Guan turned to Qin Feng and Wan, "You two go, start the interrogation right away."

"This case has weighed on the shoulders of the Guangling Criminal Investigation for almost 15 years."

"Six consecutive setups and dissolutions of the special task force show the determination many of us have to solve this case."

"Tonight is the time for a decisive battle, you two must work closely to extract Zhang Xiang’s confession before the lab results come out."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s confidence surged instantly.

He and Wan stood at attention and saluted: "Mr. Chen! Yes!"

As their gazes met, Mr. Chen nodded, "Good, go."

Soon, Qin Feng and Wan walked ahead, swiftly heading from the stairs to the interrogation room.

Director Hou and Chen Guan exchanged looks.

"Let’s go, let’s observe the situation inside."

Five minutes later. Qin Feng pushed open the door of the interrogation room.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Xiang glanced up and then closed his eyes, looking indifferent.

Seeing the opponent so arrogant, Qin Feng sat down and tapped on the table: "Enough with the sleeping, you’ve had enough now."

Qin Feng recalled that when they left for Zhujiang City, he was dozing here; now it’s the same.

Presumably, he’s confident the police don’t have any evidence, so he’s fearless.

Zhang Xiang raised his head, glanced at Qin Feng, and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Qin, I know you’re a good cop, but don’t diminish my ’admiration’ for you."

Before he could finish, Qin Feng said, "I’m here to interrogate you, not seeking validation."

"I ask you, did you kill Li Ailing?"

After speaking, Qin Feng added, "I advise you to think carefully before answering because we have found your house in Zhujiang City."

At these words, Zhang Xiang instantly sat up straight, his face became unsettled.

He hurriedly asked, "Zhujiang? Which Zhujiang?"
