Spy Under Sky Chapter 8

In the corridor outside the forensic room of the provincial police station, Oliver Wang paced back and forth anxiously.

There was a sound of the door opening, and Gavin Lin came out wearing gloves and holding a piece of paper.

Oliver Wang rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Advisor Lin, how is it? Have you found out your blood type?"

"It turned out that it is indeed AB type." Gavin Lin handed the test results in his hand to Oliver Wang.

Oliver Wang lowered his head and scanned the paper. He could not understand the first few lines of words mixed with professional terms and symbols. He only saw the last sentence on the paper: The blood type substance tested in the saliva stain of the sample is AB type. The examiner is Gavin Lin.

"Great! With this result, we can basically be sure that the owner of the cigarette B*tt is the murderer of Cao Ada." Oliver Wang said.

"I can only say that there is a considerable possibility. To be sure whether it is true or not, we need to find the owner of the cigarette B*tt." Gavin Lin spread his hands regretfully. It was a pity that there was no DNA testing technology and equipment in this era. It was still impossible to be 100% sure based on blood type alone.

"Let's go to the conference room right away. The director is waiting for us!" Oliver Wang pulled Gavin Lin and walked towards the conference room.

"Captain Wang, how are you doing?" Gavin Lin asked Oliver Wang as he walked, "Did you find any suspicious clues from the carpenters and plasterers you captured?"

"No," Oliver Wang shook his head regretfully, "Based on the investigation, the suspicions of these people can basically be ruled out."

Gavin Lin nodded. He was not surprised by the result.

If it was really these carpenters and masons who were familiar with Cao Ada who committed the crime, they would probably have been exposed during the first large-scale investigation by the provincial police station.

After entering the conference room, Oliver Wang handed the test results in his hand to Marcus Zhou with both hands, "Director, the test results are out. The blood type of the owner of the cigarette B*tt is indeed AB type."

Marcus Zhou looked down at the test results on the paper and said to Gavin Lin, "Thank you for your hard work, Gavin Lin! What do you think about the next case?"

Gavin Lin pulled out a chair and sat next to Marcus Zhou, smiling and saying, "Principal Zhou, let's listen to the opinions of Captain Wang and the seniors. I'm good at theoretical analysis, but Captain Wang and the senior detectives here are more professional when it comes to arranging specific actions!"

Marcus Zhou nodded, and scanned the conference room before speaking: "I have just introduced to you in detail Consultant Lin's analysis of the case. Now Consultant Lin has produced the test results of the cigarette B*tt, proving that the owner of the cigarette B*tt is likely to be the murderer. So let's talk about what we should do next with this case?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a police officer in his 30s or 36s sitting in the third seat on the right raised his hand and said, "Commander, I want to talk about my opinion."

At this time, Oliver Wang, who was sitting next to Gavin Lin, put his mouth close to Gavin Lin's ear and whispered to him, "This person is Rao Xiaodong, the director of the Second Branch. He has solved many cases in the jurisdiction of the Second Branch and has been commended by the Ministry of the Interior's Police Administration Department."

"Director Rao, please speak!" Marcus Zhou nodded.

"I suggest that we immediately conduct a comprehensive search of the Tangzi Lanes in our jurisdiction," said Rao Xiaodong.

"Why?"

"There are many professional teahouses in Hangzhou divided by industry. Among them, the Tangzixiang Teahouse in our area is a professional teahouse specifically for carpenters and masons. Many carpenters and masons gather there. In addition to drinking tea and taking a bath in the teahouse, they also wait for customers to come and solicit work. This is one of them."

Rao Xiaodong said, "Secondly, in addition to the professional teahouses of carpenters and masons, there are also several wooden furniture stores in Tangzi Lane, which also employ many carpenters and masons."

"Third, Tangzi Lane is less than three kilometers away from the Cao Family Ancestral Hall in Hengtaohua Lane. If the murderer really often drinks tea in the teahouse in Tangzi Lane, then he has the conditions to know Cao Ada."

"Fourthly, across from Tangzi Lane is Shangzhubao Lane. Shangzhubao Lane is not only the largest gold, silver and jewelry trading place in Hangzhou, but also in Zhejiang Province. Not only are the three largest silver shops in Hangzhou, Xinyuan, Yiyuan and Qianyuan, built here, but there are also dozens of gold and silver shops of all sizes. This also provides the most convenient conditions for the murderer to sell the stolen gold foil and pure silver incense burners."

"Therefore, I suggest that we immediately conduct a large-scale search of the teahouses and wooden furniture stores in Tangzi Lane. Even if the murderer is not hiding there, we can find clues to the murderer."

Marcus Zhou, Henry Du and Oliver Wang's eyes lit up and they nodded repeatedly.

Even Gavin Lin had to admit that Rao Xiaodong's analysis was indeed very reasonable and that it was necessary to immediately launch a comprehensive search of Tangzi Lane.

"Gavin Lin, Oliver Wang, what do you two think of Director Rao's proposal?" Marcus Zhou turned his head and looked at Gavin Lin and Oliver Wang.

"Director Rao's suggestion is very good, I totally agree with it." Gavin Lin nodded.

"I agree with Director Rao's suggestion." Oliver Wang said, "However, I would like to make two additional points in response to Director Rao's suggestion."

"Well, you say!" Marcus Zhou made a gesture to Oliver Wang.

"First, in addition to Tangzi Lane, there are also several teahouses for carpenters and masons in Chengtou Lane near Chengzhan Railway Station. It is also another gathering place for carpenters and masons in Hangzhou. The murderer may have moved from Tangzi Lane to Chengtou Lane after committing the crime, so we also need to search Chengtou Lane at the same time."

"Secondly, most of the carpenters and masons in Hangzhou come from Dongyang, Jinhua, and are known as the Dongyang Gang. Therefore, in addition to Tangzi Lane and Chengtou Lane, carpenters and masons in Hangzhou often gather at the Jinhua Guild Hall in Houchao Gate. Therefore, we must also include the Jinhua Guild Hall in the scope of this search."

"Jian Gang, your two supplementary points are very good!" Marcus Zhou nodded to Oliver Wang with satisfaction, "Jinhua Guild Hall and Chengtou Lane are to be included in the search targets."

After praising Oliver Wang, Marcus Zhou glanced around the conference room again, "What about the others? Does anyone have anything to add?"

Seeing that no one responded, Marcus Zhou turned his head and looked at Gavin Lin, "Gavin Lin, what about you? Do you have anything else to say?"

Gavin Lin shook his head and said, "No, Captain Wang and Director Rao have considered everything very comprehensively."

"Okay then!" Marcus Zhou nodded, slapped the table with his hand, and said, "Then I will arrange the division of labor. This time we will put all our efforts into searching Tangzi Lane, Chengtou Lane and Jinhua Guild Hall. Everyone must not be careless. You must be alert and keep your eyes open. We must arrest the murderer of the Cao Family Ancestral Hall theft and murder case!"
