Chu Wuyou noticed that Mu Shaobai did not appear nervous, panicked, or scared when he was presented with photos of the victims. Instead, she detected a flash of guilt hidden deep within his eyes. Yes, it was guilt. However, it was not the kind of shame and remorse that overcame someone because they were upset about their wrongdoings; it was the kind of profound sorrow that a person experienced when they were deeply disappointed about something. Or someone.
Naturally, a normal person would not be able to detect such a subtle distinction but it was part of her job. Even the slightest change would not escape her.
Besides, she did not discern any evil tendency in Mu Shaobai’s behavior or even in his expression. There had to be some sort of vicious intent coming from a murderer but she could not detect any of that on Mu Shaobai.
Yet, Mu Shaobai’s DNA matched the murderer’s.
Even if the latter was being framed, the police could oversee the short hair found at the scene of the murder but his DNA was present beneath the nails of the victim too. It crossed out the possibility that Mu Shaobai was set up. The victim must have scratched the murderer during the final moments of her struggle.
Therefore, DNA collected from the nails unquestionably belonged to the murderer.
A possibility came to Chu Wuyou’s mind at that time. Under normal circumstances, everyone possessed different DNA but there could be exceptions in the case of identical twins. Although there might still be certain genetic variations, the aforementioned likelihood remained.
She remembered that conjoined babies only had one pair of legs. In other words, one of the babies would have lost his legs after the separation surgery. The legs of all of those victims in the case were amputated by the murderer.
Therefore, she posed those questions later in the interrogation process to prove her speculation. She had intentionally brought up the topic of Mu Shaobai’s siblings in order to observe the latter’s reaction.
As a result, Mu Shaobai’s answer and body language told her that her estimation was probably correct.
Nonetheless, concrete evidence was required to prove the truth. Her guess was just an empty guess without sufficient proof to back it up.
She could have probed into this matter further personally but it could be a bit of an inconvenience because she was currently based in Jin City. She feared to arouse Ye Lanchen’s suspicions if she initiated an investigation here thus she would rather request for her senior’s assistance.
Chu Wuyou was going to end the call, thinking that her senior would send over the information later. Before she could say anything, however, her senior’s voice was heard from the phone. “One minute, don’t hang up just yet.”
She grimaced. It was a long-distance international call thus the telephone bill could skyrocket. How could her senior request her to wait!!!
It would take some time to unearth that information no matter how efficient he was.
Chu Wuyou was left with no other alternative than to wait with the phone in one hand. She could hear him breathing clearly. He either had the headphones on or his phone was still positioned by his ear.
She twitched her eyebrows into a slight frown. What did he insist on this? Why did he not let her hang up since they were not speaking anyway?!
Fortunately, her senior worked at an incredibly high speed. He sent over the information collected in no time.
Chu Wuyou’s gaze turned cold as she read the material delivered by her senior. Her claim was supported but she was stupefied by the ruthlessness of that person. How could that person go around hurting others just because of his own misfortunes?
“Senior, I’ve organized the materials and I’ll send it over to you soon. Please forward them to Chief Shen.” Chu Wuyou was reminded of the event that happened earlier today at the police station. She decided to act cautiously even though she did not know the motivation behind Ye Lanchen’s actions.
Fifth Young Master Shen would understand naturally once he received this information. The responsibility to locate that murderer would befall upon him then.
