Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Yang gestured to Fang Duo before taking the call: "Dai Yan, this is Zhou Yang. Don't hang up yet. Help me check someone's information. He's from Ning'an, his name is Sun Hao, and his ID number is..."

About ten minutes later, the call came back, but the person could not be found.

Sure enough!

Actually, Zhou Yang had already made this judgment when he was looking for Boss Hong. Afterwards, he and Fang Duo went to the team investigating the matter, without explaining what they had discovered.

Instead, they inquired about the case from three years ago.

According to Ping Qing's colleagues who handled the case, when they received the report, they rushed to the scene immediately and caught the woman red-handed. She was secretly moving the medicinal herbs out of the shop. Although the woman kept protesting her innocence, the person who received the stolen goods did confess to it.

Moreover, there are also eyewitness testimonies.

Subsequent visits confirmed this. According to Zhao Jun's neighbors and landlord, Zhao Jun's spending level did indeed increase significantly during that period.

The bank staff and her signature confirmed that she was the one who deposited the money.

After these things were laid out, the woman confessed and eventually went to prison to serve her sentence.

"What's wrong? Have you discovered something?" The police officer looked at the two of them with slight nervousness.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to get a feel for the situation, thank you!" Zhou Yang shook hands with the other person, and then followed Fang Duo back to Ning'an as quickly as possible.

"From what I can see, this was premeditated!" Fang Duo exclaimed as she drove.

Zhou Yang nodded, not answering immediately. The registered identity information of Boss Hong was fake, and the identity of the witness was fake, but the facts of the crime were clear and unmistakable, which was why he hadn't told his police colleague.

The case was handled well. Talking about it will only leave a shadow in the other party's heart, so there's no need to!

The other party first rented a shop in the market, then hired Zhao Jun, and finally sent her to prison for three years. What was the purpose of all this?

Was the person who sent her in and the person who killed her the same person?

Zhou Yang frowned. It shouldn't be possible. Since he had decided to kill him, there was no need to send him to prison. But who knows? What if he initially intended to send him in but then thought it was too easy and killed him as soon as he got out?

With too little evidence and too few clues, such speculation has no basis.

Although the trip to Pingqing was short, it was still quite fruitful. One thing was what Lin Sanmei mentioned: it seems that Zhao Jun has a man with him who is impotent.

Furthermore, it seems that the other party's theft case was staged.

"Sister Duoduo, didn't Aunt Jiang say that someone introduced Zhao Jun to Pingqing?" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up as he looked up and asked Fang Duo.

"Aunt Jiang?...Oh, you mean her!" Fang Duo was taken aback at first, then the image of the bald-headed, sixth aunt, Aunt Jiang came to mind.

"I think so, yes, I remember her saying that someone introduced us!" Fang Duo said, her tone rising two decibels, "How come I didn't think of that? This is clearly a setup by the person who introduced us, a scheme to trap Zhao Jun!"

At the end, she excitedly slammed her hand on the steering wheel, her words brimming with emotion, but then her face fell: "However, knowing all this still seems a long way from solving the case..."

Zhou Yang knew that the other party had left out one last thing—something that might not even be useful.

"Three years. She's been inside for three years. That should be enough time for her to figure out a lot of things. Do you think she'll go looking for the person she thinks wronged her when she comes back?" Zhou Yang leaned back slightly.

Before Fang Duo could answer, he replied with certainty, "Yes, she definitely will. Although I understand that doing so is not rational, and she should lie low and take revenge, those are her three years! How can she possibly endure it!"

Fang Duo glanced at Zhou Yang strangely, then focused her attention on the road, stomped her foot hard, and sped off towards Ning'an.

The return journey always seems to take a little longer than the outward journey.

After an hour, Fang Duo parked the car at the Municipal Bureau and jumped out with Zhou Yang.

"You're back! Get to the meeting right away!" Wang Chao was squatting in the stairwell smoking when he saw the two of them. He stubbed out his cigarette and waved to them.

When they arrived at the office area of ​​the first brigade, they found that everyone was there except for the two of them.

Dai Yan held two documents, one containing the deceased's personal information and the other the autopsy report.

The autopsy report mainly contained some details, and its general content was basically the same as Zhou Yang's earlier account.

"Li Hanlu, female, 27 years old, unmarried, a local of Ning'an, has many jobs, often working in various hair salons and nightclubs, and has been punished by her colleagues in the security team several times..."

Dai Yan's words were somewhat veiled, but everyone present understood that he meant the deceased, Li Hanlu, was involved in the sex trade.

"Afterwards, we contacted the victim's family, but the mother refused to come and identify the body, citing her upcoming marriage, and we couldn't reach the father..."

Finally, Dai Yan closed the documents and looked at the field, his gaze lingering on Zhou Yang's face. He knew why Liu Da had asked everyone to stop their work and stand by after hearing that Zhou Yang was coming back.

However, he had no objection to this matter; on the contrary, he thought it was a good suggestion.

Because the key to investigating a case lies in the word "investigation," the direction of the investigation, the areas visited, and the focus of the questioning are all random. However, having a direction increases the chances of obtaining clues, which is especially important for solving cases.

Therefore, you will see that many major cases and important cases eventually involve hiring consultants and experts.

The purpose is to enable them to use their professional knowledge to point out the direction of the case.

The investigation of most cases follows a fixed procedure, especially in 95: investigation, arrest, interrogation. This method of handling cases, regardless of other factors, ensures that no mistakes are made.

However, not making mistakes and solving cases are two different things.

At this point, you have to break free from the original framework and fixed mindset. It's easy to say, but not easy to do. How can you change habits that have been formed over so many years?

Even if you change it, how do you check? What if the direction is wrong?

This is why Dai Yan and the others helped Liu Chengyu, the captain, get promoted—they had the guts!

After all, no one can say for sure that Zhou Yang's line of thinking is correct.

Following the original method, even if the case cannot be solved, at least there will be no mistake, because everyone does it this way.

However, if we use Zhou Yang's method, and it was the deputy head of the task force who made the decision to follow Zhou Yang's line of thinking, then we must solve the case. You have to understand that the higher-ups don't care about your process, they only care about the result.

Even if both methods yield the same result, and Zhou Yang's method is even closer to identifying the murderer, it is still futile and all for naught.

However, Liu Chengyu was the one who came out to handle this matter.

Everyone in the team knew that Liu Chengyu had an unusual obsession with solving the case. His goal was simple and singular: to solve the case, nothing more.

But Zhou Yang also knew that it was precisely this kind of personality that led to the tragedy of his previous life.

"Everyone, speak freely and share your thoughts!" Liu Chengyu tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention: "Your brain will rust if you don't use it."

"There should be some connection between Zhao Jun and Li Hanlu!"
