Captain Xu asked Xiaoshi to take samples for the two of them and sent them back to the bureau as quickly as possible. Everything had to wait for the results to come out.

The two old people sat in the living room, not saying a word, not looking at anyone, not talking, just sitting there quietly.

At this time, Captain Xu couldn't ask for a confession, so he could only stay with him and wait.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Lin walked outside to the corner and smoked a cigarette.

Several villagers gathered around Fan Jiawen's house and talked about it.

"It is said that Xiaowen is missing?"

"Maybe they're not missing. Do you know what was found on the road leading into the village this morning? A body, a charred body."

"No, is it so exaggerated?"

"You said Xiaowen was killed? And burned?"

"Oh, it's hard to say. Xiaowen is pretty, and many people want to pursue her. If they can't get her, they might kill her. People nowadays are all mentally abnormal."

"Oh, she's pretty, good at studying, and she's teaching at a university near home. What a great kid."

Maybe because they heard too much praise, someone finally stood up and said something sarcastic, "Xiao Wen is too straightforward and doesn't know how to flatter. She might offend someone one day."

"That's right. This kid is very stubborn. Last time, he insisted that it was wrong for me to scold my kid. He made me stunned."

"Tsk, what's that? Don't you remember the last time she talked about the village chief at the villagers' meeting?"

"I remember that when the whole village was there, she directly said that the village chief had embezzled the collective money, which made the village chief very angry."

"This kid is just very straightforward. Everyone knows that the village chief is corrupt, but she has to tell him."

"Do you think the village chief might have killed her in revenge?"

"Stop talking nonsense, or the village chief will hire someone to break your legs." The next few people quickly avoided the topic of the village chief.

A girl who dared to stand up and accuse the village chief in front of the whole village, and who was also pretty, had a motive for murder.

The results of the DNA test came out quickly.

After Captain Xu finished answering the phone, he looked at Mr. and Mrs. Fan with a heavy heart. They were looking at Captain Xu with great nervousness.

Although Captain Xu's expression had already betrayed the result, they would not believe it until the last moment, unless Captain Xu said it himself.

"We have conducted a DNA comparison and confirmed that the deceased is your daughter Fan Jiawen."

Captain Xu's words hit the two men's chest like a heavy hammer. As if they had been hit hard, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground.

After a moment, He Aihua burst into miserable tears, "Daughter, my daughter."

Lao Fan was not much better. His lips kept trembling and he raised and put his hands down, not knowing what to do.

Captain Xu sighed. There was no way to record the confession for the time being.

In matters like this, men are always more likely to control their emotions. Ye Lin handed him a cigarette.

Lao Fan took it with trembling hands, lit it, and took a sip.

"Uncle, you have to be strong and cooperate with us to catch the murderer." Ye Lin said softly.

The word "murderer" immediately stimulated Lao Fan. He took a deep breath, then looked at Ye Lin and said firmly: "You can ask, we must catch the murderer and avenge my daughter."

Since Lao Fan was ready, Ye Lin leaned back and Captain Xu began to record the statement.

Fan Jiawen is a local villager. She has always been a good student and later was admitted to a university in the provincial capital to study Chinese. After graduation, she returned to Haizhou University to teach. Her life trajectory can be said to be quite perfect.

Fan Jiawen has been a class teacher for the past two years and has a lot of things to take care of, so she lives on campus most of the time and comes back about once a week. As for her specific situation at school, Fan Jiawen did not tell her family, so the two old people are not aware of it.

According to their understanding, Fan Jiawen does not have a boyfriend, of course, it is also possible that she is hiding it from them.

Ye Lin also looked at the photo of Fan Jiawen. She was a pretty girl with a righteous look between her eyebrows. She looked like the kind of girl who played a good guy in a TV drama.

After hearing this, Ye Lin didn't hear Lao Fan say that his daughter had any shortcomings, only advantages.

He couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Uncle, has your daughter ever offended anyone? Or has a grudge against anyone?"

Lao Fan thought for a while, "Xiao Wen's personality may be like mine, she is more straightforward and sometimes has a stronger sense of justice, so she is more likely to offend people."

"Is there anyone in the village who has had a feud with her or with your family?"

"Yes, the village chief's family, they relied on their family's power and influence to make a lot of money in the village. Xiaowen mentioned him at the village meeting last time, and he turned hostile on the spot, and later made things difficult for us."

At this point, Old Fan suddenly came to his senses and said loudly, "Yes, it must be that beast Fan Yuliang. Because Xiaowen offended him, he killed her and burned her."

"You beast, I'm going to fight you." Old Fan said as he suddenly jumped up angrily and rushed into the kitchen to get a knife.

This frightened Captain Xu, who quickly held him down and said, "Don't get excited. You are breaking the law, you know."

"Also, we still have to investigate who the murderer is. Do you understand?"

It’s not that Lao Fan didn’t understand, but at the moment he couldn’t hear anything at all. He just knew that his daughter was dead, and the biggest suspect at the moment was the village chief.

The suspect was right in his own village. It would be strange if he could hold back. He just swung the kitchen knife around, determined to kill someone for revenge.

There was no other way, Captain Xu could only tell him to take the village chief back for investigation immediately, which made Old Fan feel at ease.

Back at the police station, the village chief looked at Captain Xu with an innocent face and cried out, "Captain Xu, I am innocent. I didn't kill anyone. You can't arrest me just because of a few rumors."

Fan Yuliang looks to be almost 60 years old. He has been the village chief for almost ten years, and he still has an aura.

But now all that's left is grievance.

"Fan Yuliang, we are just conducting a routine investigation, don't be nervous." Captain Xu comforted him.

"Where were you last night?"

Fan Yuliang said with an annoyed look, "I was at home. A few people came to drink with me. We drank until two or three o'clock. You can check it out."

"Give us the specific name and we will verify it."

"Then, according to what we know, have you ever had a conflict with Fan Jiawen?"

Fan Yuliang's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd, and he said aggrievedly: "What's the conflict? She is a university teacher, and she can speak very logically. I was scolded by her, so I am the victim, okay?"

"She said you were corrupt and made money?"

"Oh, police comrades, you can't talk nonsense." Fan Yuliang slapped his thigh and said, "I have been the village chief for so many years. If I had embezzled, I would have been reported long ago. You can't listen to others' nonsense."
