Chapter 6
Fang Qing was very worried.
On the surface, it seemed like huge progress had been made with this case, but at the same time, no headway had been made at all.
Even though the murderer had been extremely cautious, the Forensics Identification Bureau had still found a indistinct fingerprint of blood on the elementary school door handle, and the blood was from the victim, Fu Wei. With this fingerprint, they had enough evidence to convict the murderer.
However, they could not find the murderer.
When they compared this fingerprint to the fingerprints that the police had on record, they could not match it up. After all, China’s fingerprint coverage records were currently still limited.
Furthermore, they could not discover the murderer’s motive or his relationship with Fu Wei at all.
Frankly, Fang Qing had had a gut feeling before, that this case would very likely become a cold case. Even if they had found a fingerprint in this case, there were many unresolved cases sitting in the Ministry of Public Security with DNA and fingerprint evidence.
But with Bo Jinyan’s criminal psychological analysis and his profile, the circumstances seemed quite different. Fang Qing decided he would rather try and take his chances with the seemingly obscure solution, than let the case go cold*a live horse doctor!
*TLN: Originally was “Fang Qing decided he would rather resurrect this dead horse, and get it alive and kicking”, to emphasize the extent to which he will go to solve this case.
