Chapter 1406: : Is it Xu Zhongyi who died (1 more)
Jim has determined that the unnamed male body recorded by the San Francisco Police Department in 1967 was Xu Zhongyi himself.
For the right age, the rented location is also the same, and the possibility that it is not Xu Zhongyi is very small.
But this fact Xia Xiaolan herself is quite difficult to accept:
"You infer that it was the local gang who set fire to cover up the truth after the robbery. Even if Xu Zhongyi was unfortunately killed, where is his wife Cui Yiru and his son Xu Changle? I read the case records and only found a male body at the scene... In fact, even the San Francisco police Can't confirm the identity, right?"
If the police determine that the person is Xu Zhongyi, the death certificate will not be written like that.
In this regard, Jim clearly understands the national conditions of the United States better, and he also has something to say:
"For corpses like this that have been burned to the point where they cannot be identified, tooth identification is a method, but Xu had not yet obtained an official identity at the time, and there was no dentist record during his stay in the United States. This was the reason why no conclusion could be made at that time. Son? They are not threats in the eyes of the gang, and they can even be regarded as the "property" that Xu can get. Young women and young children will be trafficked... That was 19 years ago in the United States. Anything is possible, fires After the incident, no one has seen Xu's wife and son again."
He robbed others of their money, killed the hostess, and took away the hostess and children as trophies.
The United States as a whole in the late 1960s was not as dark as Jim said, but it also depends on what kind of person it was aimed at. The Xu Zhongyi family failed to obtain official status at the time, and they were not American citizens at all. They also expected the police to treat non-U.S. citizens. Citizens are responsible?
New crimes are happening every day, and if the investigation fails for a period of time, the case will be rushed into dust.
If it weren't for paying money to hire Jim to investigate, and just letting others to inquire about it, it wouldn't be possible to uncover this old case.
Wait, she was taken away by Jim, and she was convinced that the corpse was Xu Zhongyi, what if it wasn't?
"Where's the corpse, can that corpse be found?"
It is hard to say whether the corpse 19 years ago can be found. It is often seen in American TV dramas that before murders are detected, the corpse will be deciphered and frozen by forensic doctors, waiting for family members to come and claim it. But Jim said that the burned unrecognizable body was unclaimed at the time.
"Of course! It's not appropriate to say this at this time, but I must emphasize that I am the best in this industry, and every penny you hire is worth the money. The corpse, which is highly suspected of Xu, is in the police. The bureau was unclaimed, and the local church in San Francisco came forward to bury the deceased."
The priest of the church does not just hide in a small house and listen to the distress of others.
Some food will be given out to the poor every week.
It is normal for the church to bury the unclaimed body.
"Is it a burial?"
If the church comes forward for the burial, it is very likely to preserve the complete bones. The flesh and blood must be gone long ago, but the bones must still be there.
"It's a burial, do you want to re-examine it to confirm your identity?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Naturally need to re-examine the autopsy. Just relying on the files of the old case makes me believe that Xu Zhongyi is dead. This is impossible!"
Is there DNA technology now?
Even if there is, Xia Xiaolan is not sure whether the technology has developed to the point where the bones of 19 years ago can be examined, but she will find a way to confirm the identity of the deceased.
Whether it is Xu Zhongyi or not, there must be a conclusion.
Xia Xiaolan took out the checkbook and wrote another check for $3,000:
"Jim, you still need to continue your in-depth investigation. This is a new funding to confirm the identity of the corpse and investigate the whereabouts of Xu Zhongyi's wife and children. I know that the incident may involve the local gang in San Francisco. I can understand if you choose to suspend the investigation. , After confirming your identity, even if you complete the entrustment, I will pay the remaining balance."
The two had previously said that the total remuneration was US$10,000. Xia Xiaolan first paid US$2,000 to Jim as the funding for the investigation in San Francisco. If he finds someone, he will pay the balance. If there is no clue, there is no need to pay the balance.
According to Jim's preliminary investigation results, Xu Zhongyi was disappointed 19 years ago, and his wife and children were missing.
Xia Xiaolan only hopes to be 100% sure of the true identity of the corpse. If it is really Xu Zhongyi, his wife and children have been lucky enough to escape, are they really taken away by the gang?
There must be traces of what happened, otherwise Jim would not be able to find the case that year.
Now Xia Xiaolan hopes that he will investigate deeply. This is not the same as the original commission. It becomes more complicated and dangerous.
Jim flicked the check, "Detectives will not refuse the investigation. We make a living by doing this. If we unfortunately die during the investigation, it is our destiny."
When Jim said this, his chubby body was a bit dignified.
Handsome but immediately breaks the power in three seconds:
"But in terms of compensation..."
"It will definitely increase. Don't worry about it!"
She can't give up 10,000 dollars, so why can't she give up a little more?
Jim nodded, "It's okay if you don't."
He grabbed the donut Xia Xiaolan had ordered before, and it was too cruel to ask a heavy sweetheart to endure the temptation of this extra version of the donut. After talking about the business, Jim could finally enjoy his donut.
Xia Xiaolan only drank a cup of coffee.
As a result of Jim's preliminary investigation, she certainly couldn't tell Grandma Yu.
To live to see people, to die to see corpses.
The identity of the corpse must first be determined. If Xu Zhongyi is really dead, it is best to find Cui Yiru and Xu Changle, and then tell Grandma Yu the news. It can't be all bad news. Grandma Yu must collapse.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't know Xu Zhongyi's family at all, so she can't talk about feelings, but she has feelings for her grandma.
Can Grandma Yu accept such a blow?
Just thinking about it, Xia Xiaolan was also very heavy.
After agreeing to keep in touch with Jim at any time, Xia Xiaolan wouldn't want to go to New York unless she agreed to go with Ning Xue. San Francisco is too far from Ithaca, just enough to run back and forth in a weekend, she wants to find time to go to San Francisco by herself.
It seems that the tracing of people in the newspaper cannot be carried out immediately. If the corpse is really Xu Zhongyi, he is also killed by the local gang as Jim speculated. Even if Cui Yiru and Xu Changle are still alive, they are controlled by the gang, will they be published in the newspaper? Frighten the snake?
"I hope Jim is really the best in the detective industry, as he said, and can ensure his own safety while investigating!"
Is there any DNA detection technology, and where has it been developed?
Can Cornell University School of Medicine help her solve her puzzles?
Xia Xiaolan went home and couldn't help but ask Professor Wen for help.
"Cornell Medical School? You want to ask a doctor for help, maybe Claus can help."
Xia Xiaolan really didn't expect Klaus to be the husband of Winmany. The surgeon... DNA testing, Xia Xiaolan felt that it should belong to the category of biology.
Biology and modern medicine are closely related, no matter whether Klaus can help, they are stronger than Xia Xiaolan like a headless fly.
