"Last night, a group of friends were here having barbecue and didn't get to tidy up the living room."
When Chen He and Li Yong walked indoors, they indeed smelled alcohol mixed with a light barbecue scent.
In their line of sight, they could see leftover food and drinks on the living room coffee table.
Li Yumei smiled and said, "Please sit down, officers, I'll go wake up my husband."
Chen He and Li Yong looked around and found a somewhat clean chair to sit on.
Two minutes later, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair yawned and walked out.
"What's the police here for?"
"It's the first time the police have come knocking on our door."
The man asked nonchalantly and plopped down onto the sofa.
Chen He glanced at the man, his lips twitching.
This man was obviously a spoiled brat.
Chen He asked straightforwardly, "Do you know Minghao Clothing Factory's boss Chen Minghao?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yumei's face instantly filled with anger.
"That scumbag, how could I forget!"
Chen He continued, "Years ago, you worked at Minghao Clothing Factory. Talk about your impression of him."
"A lecher!"
"I think he should have been castrated long ago."
As she spoke, her husband clenched a fist and said, "At the time, if it hadn't been for the intermediary pleading, he would've been sent to jail already."
After a moment, Li Yumei suddenly asked, "I've left that factory two years ago."
"Why did you suddenly come to me today?"
"Are you reopening that case?"
After a long silence, Chen He said, "We're here today to investigate a murder case."
"Murder case?"
Li Yumei and her husband looked shocked.
They widened their eyes, staring intently at Chen He.
Chen He said solemnly, "Chen Minghao is dead, and we suspect someone killed him."
"Dead?"
"Dead?"
After a moment of surprise, the two across from him suddenly burst into laughter.
"He should be!"
"Justice served too late."
Then Chen He asked, "Have you encountered him recently?"
Li Yumei replied, "No! I don't work at his factory anymore."
At this moment, Chen He's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, which was Li Jian.
Immediately, Chen He took out the phone, walked to the entrance of the living room, and said quietly, "Mr. Li!"
"We found something important in the tavern's surveillance."
"The night before yesterday, a couple had physical contact with Chen Minghao."
"I suspect that woman might be the bullied female worker from years ago at the factory."
"I'll send the photo to you now."
"During your investigation, pay attention to the comparison."
Chen He said, "Mr. Li, alright!"
"I'm investigating, so please send the photo to my phone."
After he hung up, Chen He's phone suddenly beeped.
On the WeChat interface, a picture popped up.
Chen He opened it and glanced at it.
Instantly, he froze in place.
The couple in the photo were none other than Li Yumei and her husband sitting in the living room.
Swiftly, Chen He put away his phone and returned to the living room without showing any emotion.
He said solemnly, "I'll ask you again."
"Have you recently had contact with Chen Minghao?"
"No!"
Li Yumei and her husband shook their heads in unison.
Then, Chen He said slowly and deliberately, "You are lying!"
"The night before yesterday, you got into a conflict in the tavern."
In an instant, the two opposite lifted their heads, staring at Chen He in disbelief.
At this moment, Li Yong, sitting beside them, was also bewildered.
Finally, Chen He sternly said, "At present, we suspect you two are related to Chen Minghao's death, please cooperate with the investigation."
Li Yumei said excitedly, "Officer, did you get something wrong?"
"That affair years ago, I was the victim."
"And it's already over, how could we kill him?"
Her husband was equally furious.
"We just pushed him twice in the tavern, and now you suspect I killed him?"
"We really are innocent."
Chen He took out handcuffs and walked over.
"Please come with us to the interrogation room in the Criminal Police Team, we can discuss this slowly."
Meanwhile.
Zhang Yean and Jiang An left Li Na's house.
As soon as they exited the apartment complex, Zhang Yean curiously asked, "Junior brother, this case is getting increasingly complicated."
"At first, I thought we'd definitely find out the female deceased's identity."
"But unexpectedly, it was all for nothing."
She glanced at the photo in her hand.
"If this woman isn't the ex-wife's daughter, how come half of the genes overlap?"
"Could this really be coincidence?"
Jiang An furrowed his brow.
It was his first time feeling like he was at a dead end.
In previous cases, he could always find a breakthrough, a clear direction and exploration target.
However, for this case, he suddenly lacked confidence.
Thinking for a while, Jiang An turned and said, "Sister! I think what we need to do first is go to the genetic laboratory."
"No matter what, we must first confirm if the genetic test results are accurate."
Zhang Yean nodded and said, "You're right."
"If the genetic test data is wrong, then perhaps the female deceased is another person."
On the way back, Jiang An drove very fast, racing along the road.
In less than 20 minutes, the two returned to the Jiangcheng Criminal Police Team.
Quickly, the two took the elevator straight to the 7th-floor genetic laboratory.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, they saw Professor Li Guang holding glassware, preparing to conduct an experiment.
