Knowing that Gu Hanhao was going to find Ou Feng's aunt with Ling Lan, Liu Fan hurriedly followed up, "Captain Gu, the line of Ou Feng has always been mine, let me go instead."

  Gu Hanhao's face was cold, "Alright, then you go and bring out Ou Feng's past case files and the file on his death from being beaten three years ago. I'll take a look when I get back this afternoon. For professional tasks like retrieving case files, Ling Lan can't do it and doesn't have the authority, so it has to be you. Yuan Jun, continue to monitor the surveillance progress of those three suspects, pay attention to scheduling arrangements, don't let your colleagues who are following them become too fatigued."

  The leader has already said so, Liu Fan had no choice but to obey. Watching the back of Gu Hanhao and Ling Lan leaving, she swept a cold gaze at Ling Lan several times.

  On the bus, Gu Hanhao wanted to test Ling Lan's memory and asked her to introduce the situation of Qiu Feng's aunt in the report.

  Qiu Feng's aunt, Qiu Cui'e, 44 years old, is still unmarried and works as a housekeeping staff in a fast hotel. She lives in a shanty town in Jingjiang District, leading a difficult life and suffering from chronic bronchitis. According to her household registration information, both of her parents have passed away, leaving only two younger sisters who are married and living elsewhere. Before Qiu Feng's death, she was his only relative in the city. She had raised him with great difficulty since he was young, but ended up with the tragic result of an old person sending off a young one. Now, she is left here alone, with not a small amount of debt to pay off.

  Gu Hanhao seemed very satisfied, and he told Ling Lan about the four guesses he had made yesterday, which were about the assumption that Chou Feng had a substitute, and the four conditions that the substitute should meet.

  Ling Lan thought for a moment, with an expression of discontent. "I agree with your theory that the real Chou Feng is already dead, and now someone who looks very similar to him has appeared, pretending to be a vampire and deceiving Shao Mei Yun. However, if we say that the two people look alike or identical, can it only be explained by plastic surgery? Look at today's TV shows, there are so many stars with similar faces, and so many stars who have been mistaken for others. It's easy to imagine that in this vast world of ordinary people, some may also have surprising similarities. With the help of powerful makeup technology, or rather special effects makeup, it's not difficult to make someone pretend to be another person. You don't even need plastic surgery. There is also a more common possibility, that Chou Feng might have a twin brother or something. And there is an even bolder hypothesis, which is not entirely impossible."

  Gu Hanhao was attracted by Ling Lan's words and couldn't help but ask, "What bold hypothesis?"

  Ling Lan pretended to be mysterious, "Clone!"

  Gu Hanhao shot a sideways glance at Ling Lan, "Not possible? Come on, big sis, I let you make bold assumptions, not spin wild tales, have you been watching too many sci-fi movies?"

  Ling Lan lowered her head and hesitated for a moment, "Cloning is indeed unlikely, the twin theory seems too common. Ah, yes, there's another possibility that fits current scientific logic, doesn't seem as clichéd as twins, and can also produce two identical people."

  "What is it?"

  Ling Lan suppressed her smile and replied softly: "Multiple births!"

  As they chatted and laughed, the car had already stopped in front of the Jebin Hotel where Qiu Cui'e worked. When Gu Hanhao got out of the car, he suddenly had an epiphany, "Ling Lan, thank you for reminding me."

  Ling Lan was confused, "Reminder? Multiple births or clones?"

  Gu Hanhao smiled and stretched out his hand to poke Ling Lan's head, although in his heart he only treated Ling Lan as a little sister, but after a moment, he still realized that this action was a bit too intimate.

  Ling Lan dodged away with great displeasure, not because she was dissatisfied with the overly intimate gesture, but because she was now a professional woman with a crisp and neat appearance. If Gu Hanyu made such a move towards her, it would instantly collapse the strong aura she had built up.

  Gu Hanhao smiled awkwardly, "Thanks for reminding me to break the mindset, just like you said, it's not just about plastic surgery."

  "What are you thinking of?" Ling Lan asked curiously as she followed Gu Hanhao up the steps of the hotel.

  Gu Hanhao said in a tone of "witnessing the miracle moment", "I think, it's possible that someone has been occupying Ou Feng's identity all along, just like that stranger uncle occupied Han Qingren's identity."

  Ling Lan didn't have time to think about Gu Han's words and couldn't ask further, as the two of them had already arrived at the hotel front desk.

  The receptionist looked up at them mechanically and introduced, "We have just launched a romantic round bed room here, do you two want..."

  Gu Hanhao timely interrupted the front desk lady, took out his ID and placed it in front of her, "No."

  The personnel manager of the hotel came out and led Gu Hanhao and Ling Lan into his office, poured them a good cup of tea, and told them that Qiu Cui'e would arrive soon.

  Ling Lan thought to himself as he waited, the front desk lady had said something about a "romantic round bed room" which wasn't strange at all. Probably a big part of the reason was because of his black sunglasses. Probably in the eyes of the front desk lady, they weren't a couple checking into a hotel room, but rather a pair of lovers sneaking around and not daring to show their faces.

  In less than two minutes, the personnel manager personally brought over Chou Tsui-e and then vacated the office, leaving alone.

  Qiu Cui'e obviously knew that the one who came to find her was a policeman, she looked nervous and sat on a stool beside her, with both hands not knowing where to put them.

  Ling Lan immediately entered the state, smiling very friendly and comforting in a gentle tone, "You don't have to be nervous, this time we came just to understand the situation of Qiu Feng."

  Qiu Cui'e was taken aback for a moment, then became excited, "Qiu Feng? Could it be that we've found the people who harmed him?"

  Ling Lan explained, "Not yet, but we're welcoming you to Jiu Pin Literature. You can enter our site by searching 'Jiu Pin Literature' on any search engine. Our site permanently provides free downloads of high-quality and txt format without pop-ups! We've been working hard. Although that case has passed for three years, now we have some new clues in hand that we didn't have back then, so I hope you can cooperate."

  Qiu Cui'e nodded like a garlic press. She muttered to herself, "Cooperate, cooperate, must cooperate."

  Gu Han's gloomy face didn't ease up, he thought, since Ling Lan took the initiative to play the white face, then let him play the black face.

  "Cooperate and that's it. Then please tell us frankly, what is the relationship between you and Qiu Feng?" Gu Hanhao asked sternly.

  As for Gu Hanhao, Ling Lan was not surprised by this question because she also had doubts about it. According to the report on Qiu Cui'e, it is clearly written that she has no brothers, only sisters, so no matter what, she can't be called "Aunt", at most "Auntie". It can be seen that in this regard, she lied.

  Qiu Cui'e was a bit constrained, but not very afraid. Indeed, she had already prepared her response: "I'm not really Qiu Feng's aunt; I picked him up as a child. At the time, I didn't let him call me mom because it was a conservative era and I was an unmarried girl who feared being ostracized, so I had him call me aunt instead. I told him that his parents were working outside and got into an accident, and that I'm his only relative."

  Ling Lan nodded in understanding, just as she was about to ask another question, she heard Gu Hanyao coldly laughing on the side.

  Gu Hanhao sneered and said: "You're lying."
