Chapter 182 This is what you call professional
Upon hearing Zhou Yimin's question, the group fell silent.
Finally, Gu Qing, with a gloomy expression, spoke up, "Indeed, no DNA match was found with the suspect."
Upon hearing this, Luo Peng immediately became anxious. "How could the comparison not match? Sister Gu, have you missed someone?"
Gu Qing shook her head. "There are a total of 78 men involved in this serial murder case, regardless of age, status, or profession. I just compared them all, but none of them matched."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yimin's face also darkened.
In order to solve this serial murder case, he and his team thoroughly investigated the family backgrounds and interpersonal relationships of the three victims several times.
But now, the DNA of all 78 men connected to this case doesn't match.
So what should we do next?
We can't possibly take the hair that Li Yi just found and match it with billions of people around the world, can we?
That's so unrealistic!
The others present shared the same thought.
However, just when everyone was feeling hopeless, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait! Sister Gu, were all the people you matched with just now men?" Li Yi suddenly asked.
Gu Qing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded subconsciously. "Yes, is there a problem?"
"Of course there's a problem!" Li Yi said with a wry smile. "Sister Gu, the evidence we found on the victim was clearly a woman's. Why did you compare it to a man's?"
What?
On a woman's body?
Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.
Luo Peng opened his mouth, "Li Yi, you're mistaken. All three victims had been violently assaulted before their deaths. How could the perpetrator be a woman?"
Li Yi shook his head. "Officer Luo, although daughters and men have different physiological structures, who says only men can violate women?"
and many more!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yimin felt a sudden rush of heat to his head.
After this series of murders, when people saw the autopsy results, they immediately identified the killer as a man.
But who says the killer has to be a man?
No wonder there have been no leads in this case.
Everyone immediately fell into a cognitive trap, even going in the wrong direction!
The other detectives present were stunned for a moment, and then they all stared wide-eyed.
Zhou Yimin's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was rapid. He quickly asked, "Li Yi, how can you be sure that the things found on the victim came from a woman?"
"It's very simple. Due to gender differences, the things on men's and women's bodies look completely different. You can find out if you look closely."
Is that so?
Upon hearing Li Yi's explanation, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Then, many people looked down at themselves.
Some people even wished they could directly compare their own experiences.
"Ahem!"
As a veteran criminal investigator with decades of experience, Zhou Yimin had encountered a knowledge gap and could only turn to Gu Qing, saying, "Gu, you have a doctorate in medicine and are quite knowledgeable in this field."
So, what Li Yi just said, is it true?
"..."
Gu Qing opened her mouth upon hearing this, but didn't know how to answer.
It's true that I am a medical doctor, but who has nothing better to do than study human hair?
"Are all people who study Traditional Chinese Medicine this professional?"
A thought popped into Gu Qing's mind.
She gave Li Yi a deep look, then without saying a word, took the evidence and went to get the DNA tested again.
Luo Peng said, "Li Yi, let's go and take a look too."
"OK!"
Apart from that hair, Li Yi found no other clues on the victim.
So he was also curious whether it was possible to identify the murderer through comparison.
Seeing that Li Yi had also followed the old man, Zhou Yimin and the criminal police officers present followed suit without exception.
A group of people gathered at the entrance of the testing room, waiting for the final results.
About half an hour passed.
The door to the testing room was suddenly opened.
Gu Qing walked out from inside, her face expressionless.
"How did it go, Sister Gu? Did the comparison go smoothly this time?" Luo Peng asked immediately.
Gu Qing didn't rush to speak, but first gave Li Yi a deep look before nodding slightly.
"After comparison, the physical evidence found on the victim's body completely matched Wang Li's DNA."
The detectives present already had the entire serial murder case etched into their minds.
Therefore, upon hearing Gu Qing's name, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Wang Li?"
"The murderer was her!"
Zhou Yimin's face was flushed with excitement. "Xiao Luo, you stay here. Everyone else, come with me. We must bring the suspect, Wang Li, back."
"Yes, Captain!"
At Zhou Yimin's command, more than a dozen criminal police officers followed him to arrest the suspect.
Soon, only Li Yi and two others remained at the entrance of the testing room.
Luo Peng still felt like he was dreaming.
He originally just wanted Li Yi's help to see if he could find some clues to solve the case, but he didn't expect that the other party would directly help everyone lock down the truth of the serial murder case as soon as he took action.
"Li Yi, thank you so much today. Without you, I don't know when this serial murder case would have been solved!"
Li Yi smiled and shook his head. "Being able to catch the real culprit and get justice for the victim is a great deed. Officer Luo, please don't stand on ceremony with me."
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Gu Qing's eyes twitched slightly.
A slight ripple appeared unintentionally on her cold and beautiful face.
......
Although the real culprit in the serial killings has been identified, there are still many procedures to be followed.
As for the case of Lü Sitong framing herself for rape, it has been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department.
Luo Peng simply did not believe that Li Yi would commit a crime.
Furthermore, given the lack of sufficient evidence, they simply let him go.
After leaving the Criminal Investigation Department, Li Yi went back to the beauty salon first.
Wang Tao and Wen Rui stayed at the beauty salon all afternoon, and only when they saw Li Yi return safely did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Li, Officer Luo took you to the Criminal Investigation Department. What's the matter?"
Normally, major cases like serial murders should not be easily disclosed to outsiders.
However, the murderer has now been identified, and Wang Tao and Wen Rui are not outsiders either.
So, Li Yi briefly recounted what had happened at the Criminal Investigation Department.
How could a serial murder case be solved based solely on a single item found on the victim?
After hearing Li Yi's story, the two women's eyes widened in astonishment.
