Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

When Zhou Yang saw Ren Jing, she was pacing anxiously at the Municipal Bureau, muttering something to herself.

If the information hadn't indicated that she was a 28-year-old woman, Zhou Yang would have assumed she was in her late thirties or even forties.

It's hard to imagine that this woman with short braids and slightly graying temples is a classmate of several others.

"Officers, what do you want from me? I haven't asked for leave from the factory yet, and I need to go back to cook lunch for my child. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly, I really can't handle it right now!"

Upon seeing new faces enter the room, Ren Jing immediately rushed over and said anxiously.

Zhou Yang looked at Dai Yan, who shook his head slightly, meaning that he hadn't told him the reason yet.

After comforting Fang Duo, Zhou Yang picked up the case file beside him and began to look at Lin Feifei's personal information.

Like the other three, he is 27 years old, unmarried, and works as a freelancer, often commissioning articles from several magazines.

She also disappeared two days ago. She had been staying at her sister's house. When she went missing two days ago, her sister thought she had gone back to her hometown. It wasn't until the police came to the door and contacted her hometown that they found out that her sister had not gone back.

Ren Jing, a long-time employee of a leather factory, married young. Her husband is a truck driver, and they have a 9-year-old son.

Then, he flipped forward and saw Zhao Jun and Li Hanlu's.

Among the case files, Li Hanlu's interpersonal relationships were the most complex, after all, her profession was quite special.

After a long while, he closed the case file. The contents he had just seen seemed to overlap with the case file from his previous life. The case was progressing much faster than in his previous life, but there was still one missing connection.

Currently, it appears that these five people are merely classmates and have no other connection whatsoever.

Why didn't Ren Jing disappear?

Zhou Yang looked at Ren Jing, who kept checking the clock while talking to Fang Duo. Perhaps the breakthrough lay with her.

Clang...

The sound of a door opening immediately caught Ren Jing's attention. She saw Liu Chengyu walk in and wanted to stand up to urge him, but Fang Duo stopped her.

"Master, this is Ren Jing. Let's talk to her!"

Liu Chengyu nodded at Zhou Yang, who had taken the initiative to speak, without asking any further questions. He then gave Fang Duo a look, turned around, and walked towards the interrogation room, with Zhou Yang following behind.

The interrogation room, unlike the interrogation room, is distinctly different. It lacks iron bars and protective netting, resembling more of an ordinary office. Its main purpose is to reduce the tension of the person being interrogated.

"Ms. Ren, don't be nervous. We've already notified your workplace, and my colleague can take you there later!" Zhou Yang said first, looking at the uneasy Ren Jing.

"Don't worry, today's situation is special. We will communicate with your unit. If there are any losses, our bureau will take responsibility!" As expected of a veteran criminal investigator, Liu Chengyu's words instantly calmed Ren Jing's anxiety.

"Officer, I'm so sorry!" Ren Jing twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands. "I have a whole family to support, I really, really..."

Seeing that the other woman's eyes were misty, Zhou Yang quickly asked, "Miss Ren, do you remember Zhao Jun, Li Hanlu, Ruan Jinyin, and Lin Feifei?"

Upon hearing this question, Ren Jing was startled, then her face turned pale: "No, no, could something have happened to them? There's this rumor about the model killer..."

"Ms. Ren, please answer our question. Do you know these people?" Liu Chengyu's tone became slightly harsher.

Ren Jing nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, we were classmates in junior high. For a while, we were... pretty close!"

She probably didn't even realize that her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. From what she had observed outside, she knew that this was the criminal investigation team, specializing in investigating murder cases. Combining this with the recent rumors and the two men's questioning, she could easily make some connections.

"When was the last time you saw them?"

"Recently?" Ren Jing shook her head: "I haven't seen her recently. We haven't seen each other for a long time. If you're talking about recently, it's been several years. I only ran into Feifei during the Chinese New Year, but we didn't exchange more than a few words..."

"Do you know if there's any connection between the four of them?" Zhou Yang continued.

"I think so, they said they were going to do seafood together!" But then she shook her head uncertainly, "I don't know, we haven't been in contact since, I just heard about it."

Aquatic products?

Liu Chengyu and Zhou Yang exchanged a glance; the four people on the other side had some connection!

"Where did this happen? Who started it?" Liu Chengyu leaned forward.

"It should be Ning An, but I'm not sure exactly. It should be Jin Yin, her family is the wealthier one here!"

"When did they start this together?" Zhou Yang asked, picking up the thread.

"I don't know, it must have been from a few years ago, I really don't remember." Ren Jing looked a little nervous as the two people stared at her.

"Back in school, you were known as the Five Golden Flowers. Logically, you should have had a good relationship. Why didn't they include you in this?" Liu Chengyu didn't give the other party a chance to breathe.

They've practically turned the interrogation room into a trial room.

Ren Jing's face stiffened upon hearing this question, then she gave a self-deprecating laugh: "They think I'm a coward!"

"Cowardly?" Zhou Yang smiled to ease the tension. "It's just a business deal, why be so bold? Miss Ren, did you also think you were cowardly back then?"

Ren Jing smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it; I'm just naturally timid!"

......

Liu Chengyu took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket and handed one to Zhou Yang.

"Alright, Master, there's only one left. You can smoke it yourself!" Zhou Yang didn't take it, watching Ren Jing's departing figure thoughtfully.

With a snap, he lit the fire, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

"A colleague is already keeping an eye on her; if the assailant tries to harm her, they can subdue him immediately!"

Zhou Yang nodded, but in his heart he felt that this possibility was unlikely. After all, the two people were kidnapped two days ago. If Ren Jing really wanted to be kidnapped, the best time would have been two days ago, not now.

"Liu Da, this is the registration data for all aquatic products in Ning'an City over the past 10 years!" Xiao Jiale walked in carrying a stack of documents.

Zhou Yang took it and began to flip through the pages one by one.

Wang Chao initially reached out to help, but after thinking for a moment, he withdrew his hand. He didn't know what to look for, and if he missed it, he would make things worse.

Zhou Yang noticed the other person's movements, looked up and smiled at him: "Brother Chao, could you please come over and find out something for me?"

Upon hearing that there was work to be done, Wang Chao thumped his chest loudly, then looked at the other person with longing.

"Take him with you!"

"Me?" Xiao Jiale pointed to himself. He really wanted to say, "Why are you ordering me around? I'm more senior than you."

But when he thought about how Zhou Yang had already submitted his application for permanent employment, he felt that he was just humiliating himself.

"Yeah, he's the main one, you're secondary. Otherwise, I'm afraid those people will eat him alive!" Zhou Yang smiled sheepishly. "By the way, don't wear your police uniform!"

Then, he whispered a few words in Xiao Jiale's ear, and the other man's face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, and he uttered a few words: "You insulted me!"

Zhou Yang shook his head and said seriously, "Absolutely not. You're the best-looking one here, that's your biggest advantage. Besides, this is a really important question!"

"Alright!" Xiao Jiale hunched over slightly, looking at Zhou Yang with a complicated expression. "I hope you're not lying to me!"

"Hey, what exactly did you just say?"

"You're so tough, kid? I definitely won't tell anyone. Hey, wait for me!" Seeing that Xiao Jiale had broken free of his grasp, Wang Chao quickly followed.

Zhou Yang looked away, but suddenly his eyes were drawn to the text on the document.
