As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

Zhang Xia’s meaning was very clear, that is, it is impossible for someone like Yan Daming to kill anyone.

But this is just her idea. Judging from the many cases Ye Lin has handled, many people appear to be honest, or even cowardly.

But it doesn’t mean that they can’t do bad things. Everyone has a devil in his heart. It just depends on whether the devil’s flower will bloom.

After leaving Zhang Xia, Ye Lin thought silently, a person who has disappeared for almost 9 years, could this person be the murderer?

It sounds normal that Zhang Xia cheated on Yan Daming and left, but at that time, there would still be suspicion.

Was it because Yan Daming was afraid that his murder would be discovered, so he left Haizhou early?

There are no clues at all now, and we must find Yan Daming.

......

After investigating Shen Yi and Yan Daming, Ye Lin decided to take two approaches at the same time. One was to continue investigating Shen Yi to see what happened on the night he drove out; the other was to investigate Yan Daming's whereabouts.

Both of these require Captain Xu's help to check, and he was asked to search for them in the system.

Ye Lin also found the original map of the road from Haizhou to Zhao County.

According to Shen Yi, after they set out from Haizhou, they took the national highway instead of the expressway in order to save money.

Because the highways were not as developed as they are now ten years ago, there was actually only one section of highway from Haizhou to Zhaoxian, so it was normal for them to choose the national highway.

According to the distance calculated, if they drive on the national highway and start in the morning without rest, they should be able to drive three-quarters of the distance, which is probably the junction of Zhao County and Qing County.

Ye Lin asked Director Feng to help contact people in Qing County and Zhao County to check whether any unidentified corpses or anything special was found at that location at that time.

According to Ye Lin's inference, if one of the two men was really the murderer, they would definitely use this opportunity to take the body out, and then take advantage of spending the night outside to open the carriage and find a place to dispose of Du Xiaohua's body.

However, the news coming back from there surprised Ye Lin a little. No corpse was found, but a detention record of Shen Yi was found.

According to the detention record, Shen Yi was caught for prostitution while staying in a roadside hotel that night. He spent the night in the police station and then paid a fine of 5000 yuan.

Prostitution? Are there prostitution in that kind of place?

Seeing Ye Lin's puzzled look, Captain Xu smiled and explained, "Captain Ye, you are still young. These are old news. You may not understand them very well."

"In the past, these truck drivers had very high incomes because they were on the road all year round and had no women, so these roadside hotels would have prostitutes."

"These ladies can not only sleep with you, but they can also get in your car and accompany you to your destination, as long as you pay enough."

Ye Lin shook his head speechlessly, "How come I don't know anything about this."

"This happened many years ago. And there weren't many of them ten years ago. They were only available in remote places like ours."

"You were probably still in middle school at the time. It's normal that you didn't know. And you city kids are even less clear."

"Okay, then Captain Xu, we have to ask you, Shen Yi, again."

To solve a case, one needs to know too many things. Ye Lin always thought that roadside inns were used for rest and tire repair. Well, it turns out that they used to provide such services.

......

When Ye Lin and his team found Shen Yi and took out his detention record for that night, Shen Yi's face suddenly turned red.

"Well, I was confused for a moment, just confused for a moment." Shen Yi explained hurriedly.

"Shen Yi, this happened ten years ago and it has been dealt with. You don't need to make excuses. We just want to know what happened that night." Ye Lin interrupted him.

Shen Yi rubbed his hands awkwardly. "It's nothing, actually. I just felt that way after I moved in that night. Then I did that. Then I was caught by the police."

That, that, Shen Yi's series of that.

Ye Lin was speechless. He repeatedly emphasized that he was here to investigate the matter, not to bring up old issues. Only then did Shen Yi tell him the details of what had happened.

They had been on the road all day that day and according to the plan they were going to stay at the junction of Qing County and Zhao County, but they had not decided exactly where to stay.

When they arrived near the hotel, Yan Daming was driving. He stopped immediately, saying he was tired and would continue driving after resting for the night.

Shen Yi didn't object, since it didn't matter where they lived.

He forgot what the hotel was called at that time, but it was mentioned in the detention record as "Qing County Hotel".

There used to be many such restaurants, and no one bothered to give them special names; they were just called whatever name they were in.

No one cared at that time, everyone called it that.

After settling down that night, the two drank a little wine. They were very tired from driving, and drinking could relieve fatigue and help them sleep.

At that time, there were no other customers in the store except them, so a few young ladies came up to them to solicit business.

Although Shen Yi was a little tempted at the time, he didn't know what Yan Daming thought because he had never been out in a car with him before, so Shen Yi did not move.

However, after Yan Daming drank some wine, he seemed a little emotional. He said that his wife was cheating on him and he couldn't beat her up, which was too cowardly.

Then he said he wanted to find a lady for revenge, which was exactly what Shen Yi wanted, so they booked two rooms that night.

One room per person.

Originally, prostitution in this kind of hotel is very safe, mainly because it is too random and the police usually don't come to catch you.

But no one knew what happened that night. The police suddenly came to the door and said that they had received a report about prostitution, and they arrested Shen Yi.

Originally Shen Yi thought that Yan Daming would not be able to escape, but he did not expect that Yan Daming did not do it that night. He just chatted with the lady for a while and then sent the lady away.

When the police arrived, Yan Daming was sleeping soundly.

Shen Yi was arrested and detained at a police station in Qing County. The police originally wanted to detain him for three days, but he was willing to pay a fine, so the police were more relaxed and released him the next morning after he paid 5000 yuan.

After he returned, Yan Daming was still waiting for him at the hotel. He asked Yan Daming not to tell anyone.

Yan Daming also agreed, and then they hurried to deliver the goods. After returning to Haizhou, he was still afraid that Yan Daming would tell others.

But he was still quite righteous and didn't say a word about what happened that night.

If Ye Lin and his team had not asked Qing County to investigate this time, no one in Haizhou would have known that he had been caught soliciting prostitution in Qing County.

According to Shen Yi, Yan Daming didn't say it out of loyalty.

But it sounded different to Ye Lin, if everything Shen Yi said was true.
