The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 587 - 330: The Truth Revealed—It’s a Bit Heartbreaking!
Although it was already late at night, the criminal investigation team’s office was still brightly lit, shadows moving back and forth.
The clock on the wall pointed to 2 AM, and everyone was energetically busy.
When the two black lip tissue samples arrived at the laboratory, the on-duty technician immediately started the examination process to extract DNA samples for testing.
At 4:15 AM, the laboratory finally delivered exhilarating news.
A young technician rushed into the task force office, panting heavily, clutching a fresh test report in his hand.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Wang, the results are out!"
Mr. Ma rubbed his sore eyes, "How is it?"
The technician adjusted his glasses, speaking cautiously, "The DNA from these human substances has a 99.99% match with Li Dong’s biological sample."
Mr. Ma gave a knowing smile and waved his hand.
"Zhang, we’re all practical people here, no need to be so professional."
"Just tell me directly, did this stuff fall from Li Dong?"
The young technician immediately understood and quickly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Ma."
"Good, thank you for your hard work."
Mr. Ma laughed, "You tech folks are just too meticulous."
"For us in case handling, the most crucial thing is the result."
"Leave those professional terms and processes to the experts to study."
Hearing this at the door, the technician turned back and gave a bashful smile, "Understood, Mr. Ma, I’ll make sure to remember this next time."
At this moment, a complete chain of evidence had formed, filling the office with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
Mr. Wang put down his teacup, a look of approval on his face.
"Mr. Ma, this case has been solved beautifully!"
"Every one of your subordinates is highly capable."
Mr. Ma modestly waved his hand, "Mr. Wang, you overpraise us."
"This is all thanks to the proper guidance from headquarters’ leaders, we just carried out the work accordingly."
Mr. Wang, smiling, stood up and said, "Liu Tie’s whereabouts remain a mystery."
"Whether he’s dead or alive, I’m afraid only Li Dong can give us answers."
Mr. Wang adjusted the collar of his uniform, "Mr. Ma! Let’s go!"
"It’s about time for us old fellas to stretch our muscles."
"How many years has it been since we personally interrogated a suspect?"
"It’s just the right time to rekindle those past feelings."
As he spoke, he patted his old partner’s shoulder, "Let’s go have a chat with this Li Dong, see what tricks he can still play."
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of the interrogation room.
With a creak, the iron door of the interrogation room was pushed open.
Sitting on the interrogation chair, Li Dong had completely changed his demeanor.
His two hands trembled uncontrollably, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, and the once cunning eyes now held nothing but endless fear.
Hearing the door open, he jerked his head up, his gaze fixed intently on the newcomers.
Mr. Ma strode confidently to the interrogation table, slamming both hands heavily on the table, making a dull "thud".
"Li Dong!" His voice was deep and powerful, "Have you thought it over?"
He leaned forward slightly, his sharp gaze locking onto Li Dong’s eyes.
"I’m asking you one last time, if you honestly confess the crime, we might still consider securing more time for you to live."
"But if you continue to resist..."
At this point, he deliberately stretched his words, "Then don’t blame us for convicting you without a confession!"
The opposite Li Dong was like a stone statue, apart from his rapid breathing, there was no response.
The interrogation room was eerily quiet, only the "tick-tock" of the wall clock could be heard.
After two minutes of silence, Mr. Ma’s lips suddenly curled into a cold smile.
He pulled a document from his briefcase and slammed it onto the table, making a crisp "snap".
"It seems you’re set on being stubborn."
He opened the document, pointing to a page, "This is the latest genetic test report."
"The two black substances extracted from the esophagus of the deceased, Wang Xue, match perfectly with the genetic sequence of the missing tissue from your left lip."
"Is this evidence compelling enough?"
These words hit Li Dong like a hammer, striking hard at his heart.
His body trembled violently, collapsing onto the chair as if his bones were extracted.
Mr. Ma pressed his advantage, "Do you think staying silent will let you escape justice?"
"With this solid evidence, the judge could easily convict you!"
Li Dong’s face turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
Amidst the intense tension, Mr. Wang, who had been standing by, suddenly spoke, "Actually..."
"You still have one last chance..."
Li Dong’s unfocused eyes suddenly sharpened, firmly fixating on Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang walked unhurriedly to Li Dong, folding his hands behind him.
He slowly said, "Regarding the family annihilation case, we already have concrete evidence. However..."
He deliberately paused, "You were also involved in the bank armored car heist that shocked the entire province ten years ago, weren’t you?"
Leaning forward, he lowered his voice, "Where is Liu Tie’s body?"
"Confess now, and maybe there’s still a chance for leniency."
The last four words were especially clear and forceful.
The air in the interrogation room seemed to solidify, even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.
Five minutes later, Li Dong’s Adam’s apple moved up and down a few times, and he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I... I confess."
His voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, dry and croaky.
"I am willing to confess everything... and report on the two cases... I beg for leniency from you..."
