Half a month later, the information investigated by the Public Security Bureau was still very limited. They only found conclusive evidence that Li Rong had handed over his biological daughter to Ding Yun's adoptive parents and learned of Li Xingfan's origin.
However, Li Xingfan's background required inter-county investigation.
It was still in the coordination stage.
At this rate, it would be good to have a result within a year or two. Ding Yun clearly couldn't wait that long, so after collecting all relevant materials, she immediately took them to the Public Security Bureau.
And she brought the evidence she had investigated.
She submitted it all.
After reading it, the staff present fell silent.
They were shocked by the information revealed by the evidence provided by Ding Yun, and also felt a little ashamed. Non-official professionals like her could investigate so much evidence so quickly, while they, the professionals, had only scratched the surface. It was truly embarrassing, and anyone might think they were slacking off.
But heaven and earth could bear witness.
They really hadn't slacked off much...
Although not 100% dedicated, they hadn't truly slacked off. The gap was too large.
Shouldn't such a talent be a divine detective?
How could she just be an ordinary middle-aged woman?
"You've truly given us a surprise. Compared to your efficiency, everyone in our Public Security Bureau seems like a good-for-nothing. You're amazing.
I don't mind telling you the truth.
We've only just begun to scratch the surface here, and we haven't found any deeper information at all.
Do you have any intention of joining us?
Or perhaps as an external consultant?"
Perhaps due to being too shocked and unwilling to let go of such talent, the chief responsible person of the local Public Security Bureau, Ji Changtian, momentarily forgot about the evidence and excitedly invited Ding Yun to join their bureau.
With this efficiency and capability, if she joined them,
Wouldn't their case-solving rate skyrocket?
However, Ding Yun had no such plans for the time being, so she politely refused, "I'm truly sorry.
I don't have that idea for now. I just want to resolve this case quickly, so why don't we discuss this evidence? If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it. If there are any inappropriate parts, I'll cooperate with you to make the evidence suitable.
And legal, and so on."
"Alright, it's truly a pity. Then let's continue discussing this case. Among this evidence..."
Being rejected by Ding Yun, Ji Changtian also realized that his words were too hasty. Whether it was joining them or becoming an external consultant, it required a lot of examination and even professional certifications.
It wasn't something he could decide with a single sentence, so he simply went with the flow and skipped the matter.
He shifted the conversation back to the case.
They discussed which of the evidence provided by Ding Yun could be used directly, which could be used after processing, and which could not be used at all. He also inquired about the sources of certain evidence and whether there were contact methods for witnesses.
After all these discussions, Ding Yun specifically mentioned the evidence she was inconvenient to obtain and made a suggestion:
"Right, besides this evidence, there's also some physical evidence that I probably couldn't obtain legally myself, so I didn't collect it. I'm afraid you'll have to apply for permits or something from the Public Security Bureau to collect it.
For example, the remains of my deceased elder brother.
If I'm not mistaken, his remains should be buried in the third to last grave of the stillborn infants in the ancestral cemetery. The tombstone is inscribed as the tomb of the eldest son of Li Hongyu, a branch family member who has long since died out.
But in reality, it's my elder brother.
My full brother.
He wasn't cremated at the time, so his remains should still be available for genetic testing. This kind of physical evidence can only be obtained by people from the Public Security Bureau.
It would be illegal for me to obtain it.
Also, Su Lian's body was not cremated either.
She is also buried in the Li family's ancestral cemetery, in the grave without a tombstone. It's the grave Li Rong prepared for himself, intending to be buried with Su Lian after death. And this matter was also done illegally. Because Su Lian's friend had already held funeral services for Su Lian and her husband and buried them together. Later, he stole Su Lian and her husband's joint grave, took out Su Lian's body, and buried it in his own ancestral cemetery. This is a clear illegal act.
..."
In a short while, Ding Yun revealed all the information she knew but found inconvenient to collect, as well as the locations of the evidence. She then continued:
"Also, this is just my suggestion, whether you listen or not is up to you. I think you might be able to quietly invite my biological mother, Ms. Kong Yanzhi, over and tell her about this matter.
If she cooperates,
Many operations should go much smoother.
Oh, and if you call her over to tell her about this, be sure to have a doctor present. I find this matter difficult to accept, let alone her.
This is just my suggestion..."
"Your suggestion is quite good. Many things are indeed easiest to break from within. As long as Ms. Kong Yanzhi's values are not too strange, she should choose to completely fall out with the Li family.
But it's also possible that she might endure it to save her own face, or even the Kong family's face.
We'll consider the specifics later. But in any case, thank you for the evidence and suggestions you've provided."
Ji Changtian nodded and thanked her again.
He also explained why he hadn't immediately agreed to Ding Yun's suggestion. Some families with relatively short lineages might be fine, but some families with long traditions had a high probability of suffering for the sake of appearance. Sometimes, one's own honor might not be as important as the family's reputation.
The Kong family was undoubtedly a relatively old family.
If such a scandal, where the Kong family was manipulated and their biological bloodline couldn't be preserved, were to leak out, although most people would condemn the Li family,
People within the circles would more likely see the Kong family as easily bullied.
They would think of it as a joke.
If it could be covered up, it's hard to say whether Kong Yanzhi would choose to completely sever ties with the Li family or choose to endure it temporarily, destroy the evidence, and resolve it in secret after the matter is over, thus preserving her family's reputation.
"This can also be easily resolved.
As long as she knows that this matter cannot be concealed at all, she will naturally choose to cut off her losses, take the initiative, and even sever ties with the Li family, making herself a victim."
"So, you want us to tell her that this evidence was provided by you, and that you've even stored it in the cloud at a scheduled time, ready to be released at any moment?"
"Why not?"
