Gu Hanhao planned to go back to the police station to investigate the entry and exit records of that year, to see if the Korean couple was really working abroad at that time. In addition, regarding the recent movements of Shao Meiyan, as well as the progress of tracking those three suspects, he also wanted to go back and understand them. The murderer who pretended to be a vampire, Chou Feng, had not been caught for a day, and Gu Hanhao's heart was still hanging.

  Ling Lan thought it was meaningless and wanted to go back to school to deal with some school matters. The two parted ways outside the Anju Community gate.

  Gu Hanhao returned to the criminal police brigade and hadn't walked into his office when Liu Fan came over to walk with him, saying: "Ling Lan didn't come? Will she never come again in the future?"

  Gu Hanhao's eyes did not stray, "Not necessarily."

  Liu Fan lowered his voice, "Captain Gu, someone has reported you to the higher-ups, saying that you allowed unrelated personnel to enter and exit the police station at will, and even participate in investigations. I don't know who specifically made the report, but the higher-ups must have received the message by now."

  Gu Hanhao could see that Liu Fan was worried about him, and he had expected this to happen. However, he wasn't too concerned. "Is that so? Then let's just wait and see what happens next."

  Liu Fan didn't expect Gu Hanhao to be so relaxed, "Captain Gu, it's better for you to think of a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, why don't we go and tell the director now that Ling Lan won't come again in the future?"

  Gu Han stopped in his tracks, "I have a good grasp of this matter, thank you for your kind intentions. By the way, how's the investigation on Qiu Feng going?"

  Liu Fan was apparently somewhat unhappy, "I've already put the report on your office desk. Seeing that you're quite busy these days, I knew you hadn't read it yet."

  Gu Hanhao pulled out a wry smile, "I'll take a look."

  After closing the office door, Gu Hanhao made a call to Zheng Bo, asking him to check the entry and exit records of Mr. and Mrs. Han, while he himself waited for the message and flipped through Liu Fan's report.

  The report roughly means as follows:

  Liu Fan found the Central Hospital where Ou Feng was taken, and Dr. Du Quan, who worked at the hospital three years ago, was in charge of rescuing Ou Feng's serious injuries. At that time, Ou Feng had multiple fractures all over his body, external injuries all over his body, and all ten fingers were cut off. The most fatal was the impact on his head, with severe bleeding in the cranial cavity, and finally, rescue efforts were ineffective. Dr. Du personally confirmed the death, and two other doctors present also repeatedly confirmed that Ou Feng had no vital signs at the time. Liu Fan asked three times if it was possible that he was just in a state of apparent death and had the possibility of resuscitation. Quoting the words of these doctors, it was absolutely impossible, already brain dead, heart stopped beating, pupils dilated. In summary, he was dead, very purely and thoroughly dead.

  In addition to this, doctors also found many old injuries on Qiu Feng's body, as well as scald marks left by cigarette butts. It can be seen that Qiu Feng indeed had a lot of contact with those marginal people in society before his death. Moreover, after forensic examination, it was found that Qiu Feng was a drug addict before his death, and the time he spent taking drugs was not short.

  Liu Fan went to find Hong Zhanqiang, the police officer in charge of the case at that time. According to Hong, Qiu Feng's parents had passed away early, and he lived with his aunt. After entering junior high school, he often got into trouble and hung out with a group of hoodlums. His aunt was single and couldn't control this rebellious teenager on her own. Later, when she went to the hospital to identify the body, she confirmed that the deceased was indeed Qiu Feng. The sight of his gruesome death caused her asthma to flare up, and she was hospitalized. Hong felt sorry for her and helped her claim Qiu Feng's body from the morgue and sent it to the crematorium. However, a strange thing happened just as they were about to cremate Qiu Feng's body - his corpse had vanished! Hong investigated this sudden case of missing remains at the funeral home and was told by the person in charge that someone might have mistaken the coffins because there was an extra coffin waiting for cremation.

  In addition, the brawl three years ago took place in a remote and deserted alley, when the sky was somewhat dark, and the only eyewitness did not see clearly the appearance of that group of young thugs, but remembered that they were dressed in bright colors, with five people, ganging up on one person. Because during that time, cutting off fingers was a popular punishment method among gangs, so Rui's ten fingers were brutally cut off again, and the case was later treated as a gang vendetta and street fight, and it was settled.

  Gu Hanhao concluded the report, let's not worry about Ou Feng's body being lost for now. What can be confirmed is that Ou Feng is dead. But if Ou Feng really died, then who was the Ou Feng in Shao Meiyan's mouth? It's possible that it was someone who looked exactly like Ou Feng, could it be a result of plastic surgery?

  Gu Hanhao thought to himself, if there was such a person who knew that having a face like Qiu Feng's could win Shao Meiyun's favor, as long as he used Shao Meiyun to get rid of the obstacle that was Shao Hui, he would be able to get Shao Meiyun and indirectly obtain the Shao family's wealth...

  Or there is such a person, who is Qiu Feng's friend or relative, and learns the truth about Qiu Feng's death. He knows that Shao Hui was the mastermind behind it, and also knows that he can't do anything to Shao Hui through normal legal channels. So he wants to use his own way to avenge Qiu Feng...

  Gu Hanhao picked up his pen and scribbled on the paper. If such a person really existed, then first, this person must have had some understanding of Ou Feng. Not only did he need to understand Ou Feng's appearance and physical characteristics, but also the causes and consequences of Ou Feng's interactions with Shao Meiyan. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to impersonate Ou Feng. From this perspective, it was very likely that he was a friend of Ou Feng's.

  Secondly, this person should have had similarities with Ou Feng in terms of height and voice. Without these two points, even if he underwent plastic surgery, it would be difficult to deceive people.

  Thirdly, either he had an extremely trustworthy plastic surgeon as his accomplice, or he had the financial resources to undergo several rounds of plastic surgery in a distant place where no one knew him. Alternatively, the funds for the plastic surgery were provided by his accomplices, because whether it was Qi lawyer, Huo doctor, or Shao Hui's younger brother Shao Cheng, they all could have afforded this sum of money.

  Fourthly, this person had disappeared from their social circle due to changing their appearance to impersonate someone else. It was very likely that he had disappeared under the pretext of death, disappearance, going abroad, or emigration.

  Just then, Zheng Bo's phone call came, he had verified through the network that Mr. and Mrs. Han had been working in a factory in an American town from 1996 to 1998, and they never returned home during this period.

  Gu Hanhao was very disappointed, the clue about "Korean Uncle", no, it should be said that the clue of "Stranger Uncle" was broken, and this fake vampire was not Chou Feng, but just a substitute for Chou Feng. What he could do now was to go back and continue to carefully study Ling Lan's photo album to see if he could find other clues; as for the Vampire case, he had to start from Chou Feng's only relative, his aunt, to see if there were people around Chou Feng who met the four conditions; in addition, the three suspected accomplices couldn't be relaxed either. If one of them was confirmed to be the real accomplice now, it could also lead to the appearance of Chou Feng's substitute.

  Unconsciously, it was time to get off work, Gu Hanhao tidied up and was about to go home when the phone on his desk rang. Gu Hanhao took a look and saw that it was indeed the director's landline number. As Liu Fan had said, the director had already received the news, and Gu Hanhao could almost be certain that this call was related to Ling Lan.

  In less than a minute, Gu Hanhao hung up the phone. The director spent 40 seconds speaking some official words, no more than saying that this period of work was hard and to pay attention to rest and leisure. Then he used the last ten or so seconds to tell Gu Hanhao to let Ling Lan prepare a written application, and she would come here as a volunteer to do social practice, after which she would be at Gu Hanhao's disposal. Of course, the bureau wouldn't give her a salary.

  Gu Hanhao had long expected this outcome, and he also expected that it wouldn't be long before his older sister would take the initiative to find him, lecturing him with a bitter tone, in her eyes as well as those of his brother-in-law's family, he was just a madman who acted without considering the consequences, liked to do things freely and unrestrainedly, and did whatever he wanted. However, due to face-saving concerns, they all didn't dare say anything explicitly.
