Chapter 517: First Impressions Are The Strongest
Lin Dongxue asked again, ”However, it was your elder brother who inherited that shop later, and not you. Why's that?”
Zhang Farong said, ”This is what my dad wanted. He wanted my elder brother to inherit the store so that I could do anything I want! I went out of the city to do business and earned big money for a while. I sent money back home and my parents were delighted. But, my elder brother wanted to work in a canning factory. He didn't make much money. My dad was so angry that his blood pressure was really high. He almost severed the father and son relations.h.i.+p with him. Later, he was laid off and had nowhere to go. That's when he became willing to run the business with my dad.”
”What cannery?”
”The Hualin Cannery in the city. It was previously state-owned, but it's now privately owned.”
Chen s.h.i.+ said, ”When your father disappeared, why didn't you suspect your brother?”
Zhang Farong was shocked. ”Oh, now that you've said that, I really do suspect him. Yes, they often quarreled at that time.”
”Why did they quarrel?”
”Sister-in-law was worrying. My elder brother would always defend my sister-in-law. Their family only had this type of bad stuff.”
Chen s.h.i.+ said to Lin Dongxue, ”We won't interrogate further for now!”
”Not interrogating already?”
The interrogation had to be suspended. Chen s.h.i.+ went straight to the forensics department. There was a stranger in the room who looked to be an appraiser. Peng Sijue said, ”You came at the right time. The meat quality test came out, it was-”
”Don't talk about that yet. Is the DNA result wrong?”
”That's impossible!” A forensics technician said. ”I did it. I did it three times in total.”
”Do it again. This time, test the nephew first, then the second uncle. Don't test them together.”
Pence Sijue frowned. ”What's up with you? You're actually suspecting that we did something wrong?”
”Just think of it as satisfying my willfulness. Thank you... What were we just talking about?”
Peng Sijue wasn't in good spirits and snapped, ”I invited an expert from the Material Evidence Center to come over and help. Tests found that the meat was made up of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and duck.”
Lin Dongxue said, ”That's the same as what he said.”
Chen s.h.i.+ confirmed, ”Is the meat mixed together?”
”No, this is a specific report...”
Chen s.h.i.+ glanced at the report. The composition of the pots of meat was complicated. He couldn't help but wonder. If it was to reduce costs, why would he use beef or lamb? Was it really a mysterious recipe?
But what kind of recipe is this? Using meat from different animals and then mixing beef paste into it. Wasn't the selling point of that store the soup?
Chen s.h.i.+ stayed there waiting for the result. He paced around causing Peng Sijue to be annoyed. Peng Sijue wanted to kick him out several times. Two hours later, the DNA test results came out. The forensic technician said guiltily, ”Zhang Hao's DNA and the dead are 99.98% match...”
Pence Sijue looked at him, startled. He couldn't believe that the result going out from this place could be wrong.
”How could this be?”
”It was my fault. During the previous test, I found that Zhang Hao was 99.98% and Zhang Farong was 99.99%. I thought it might be that the sample was mislabeled. Didn't you say at the scene that the person missing was the father? So-“
”You actually had a preconceived notion? Go and write me a review to self-reflect!”
Chen s.h.i.+ was very happy. ”I knew it was wrong! So the problem lies here!”
Lin Dongxue asked, ”How did you figure it out?”
