At eight-thirty the next morning, as Director Hou and Jiang An stepped into the Guangling City Public Security Bureau's criminal investigation office, Hou's phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed the number of the DNA laboratory at the Provincial Department's Technical Appraisal Center.
As soon as the call connected, a technician's voice came through: "Director Hou, the samples Guangling sent over last night have been examined, and preliminary results show that the DNA sequences from the toothbrush and towel match those of the suspected deceased."
Upon hearing this, Director Hou asked, "Can this result be fully confirmed?"
"There shouldn't be any major issues, we will confirm again to ensure absolute accuracy."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up, he turned and said, "The results are in; we can basically confirm the identity of the deceased."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Chen Guan's face was filled with barely contained excitement.
