Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

Zhou Yang and Dai Yan found Bald Scar playing billiards in a billiards hall without much effort.

After the two men explained their purpose, the bald man's face immediately fell, and he claimed that he had reformed and would no longer get involved in the so-called fighting and killing in the martial arts world.

However, when he learned that the police had contacted him about what happened back then, his attitude immediately changed, and he helped the police recall the events of that time.

According to Bald Scar, He Yu had inquired about opening a mahjong parlor, and he even volunteered his services. However, He Yu declined, so he didn't press the matter further.

Just when Dai Yan thought he might have made a wasted trip again, Bald Scar recalled a detail. According to him, there was another person in the house at the time, namely Sun Weixin, the electrician in the area.

"I can't possibly be mistaken!" the bald man with scars said confidently. "I remember it very clearly. He was talking in a rude way, and I almost... almost said something to him!"

Zhou Yang looked at the bald scarred man's evasive words and guessed that he probably didn't just want to talk, but rather to put his hands into action.

When Bald Scar was in his early days, Sun Weixin worked as one of his underlings for a while. Back then, Sun Weixin was reckless and always caused trouble. After his enemies broke his arms and legs, Bald Scar gave him some compensation out of humanitarianism.

"In today's terms, this guy is an ingrate. As for me, I'm like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs!" Baldy Scarface said, his anger rising.

Zhou Yang's expression hardened, interrupting the other person's remark: "Sun Weixin had his arm broken?"

"It wasn't just his arms!" Bald Scar lit a cigarette. "Back then, that guy stupidly challenged someone to a fight, and a dozen or so people showed up. His arms and legs were broken. I thought he was out of his mind. If I hadn't called on my underlings to help him out, he'd probably be dead by now. Now that he's made some money, he's acting all high and mighty..."

"What is Sun Weixin's height and age?" Dai Yan seized on the clue in the other person's words and immediately followed up with more questions.

Although he didn't know why the two policemen were so interested in Sun Weixin, Baldy Scar honestly confessed, "He's a little shorter than me and a little older!"

"Get to the point!" Dai Yan tapped his pen on his notebook, his face serious.

"Oh, oh..." the bald man chuckled awkwardly, "He's not even 1.8 meters tall, and he must be almost 50. He looks old!"

Sun Weixin works as an electrician, mainly responsible for circuit repairs, collecting electricity fees, and other tasks, so many people remember him. After asking a few more people, they got a general answer.

And most importantly, Sun Weixin hasn't shown up for over two months!

Sun Weixin, male, between 175-178 cm tall, around 45 years old, basically matches the characteristics of the remains.

"Do you know who Sun Weixin is usually close to?"

"No need to ask, it's definitely that Sun Yan guy. Those two never do anything productive, just mess around with crooked things. They'll be in jail sooner or later..." The bald man with the scar said, halfway through, "Officer, did those two do something wrong? I can become a witness for the prosecution, an informant or something!"

Dai Yan tapped the notebook again: "Watch less police dramas. Also, just answer their questions directly, don't pry!"

"I understand, I understand!" The bald scarred man said he understood, but his eyes darted around, suggesting he had his own 'reasoning' to back it up.

"You just said he made some money, how so?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

"You haven't seen this kid. Now I truly understand what it means for money to make people reckless!" At this point, Baldy Scarface started swearing: "...He just walks around without looking where he's going, and he has more than just two or three mistresses..."

Based on Baldy Scar's account, Zhou Yang and Dai Yan exchanged a glance and were basically certain that if what Baldy Scar said was true, then Sun Weixin had probably done something illegal.

Because his behavior fits the characteristics of a nouveau riche.

Bald Scar didn't know Sun Weixin and Sun Yan's address, and when he asked the people in the billiards room, they all said they didn't know either.

In order to determine whether the other party was the owner of the skeleton and to clarify some things, the two rushed to the nearby power supply station without stopping.

In 95, the main workforce of the power company consisted of permanent employees, but there were also many contract workers, temporary workers, and locals who relied on local connections, especially in local institutions like power supply stations.

This can be considered an early prototype of outsourcing.

An official from the power supply station told the two that Sun Weixin had not come to work for nearly three months and they had been unable to contact him. In order to ensure the stable operation of the power supply and the normal collection of electricity fees, they had sent someone to replace him.

Sun Weixin is currently at the power supply station, but he is in a state of being dismissed.

"Officers, don't you think this guy is incredibly unreliable? We gave him the job out of pity, but he just disappeared without a word, and he hasn't even received his February salary yet!" the supervisor said indignantly as he escorted the two to the door.

"Then let's write a certificate, collect it on his behalf, and deliver it to his home later?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

The man smiled apologetically: "I can't make that decision myself; it requires the leader's signature... If we can't find the person in question, we can't let you take him away."

"Not even family members?" Dai Yan asked, puzzled.

"His family register only lists him as the only person!"

......

The two borrowed the power bureau's phone and sent a message to the bureau, asking which of them could go to the hospital when they had time to see if there were any medical records of Sun Weixin from back then, so that they could more confirm his identity.

They rushed to the address that Sun Weixin had filled in on his work documents.

It's easy to find; in this row, only Sun Weixin's house stands there all alone.

It was a small, dilapidated house with low walls. The so-called gate was just a few pieces of wood haphazardly tied together, truly only good for keeping out honest people, not scoundrels.

When the main door was moved aside, the lock on the main room door was only loosely attached and not actually locked.

"Did you wear shoe covers?" Zhou Yang asked Dai Yan.

Dai Yan shook his head: "Who carries that thing around for no reason!"

Pushing open the door, a wave of dust mixed with dampness hit them. Dai Yan had originally wanted to borrow some plastic bags from the neighbors, but Zhou Yang eventually gave up on the idea.

Instead, they made a phone call and notified the technical team to come over.

Although it has not yet been confirmed that Sun Weixin is the skeleton at the bottom of the well, given such living conditions, if Sun Weixin were still alive, it would be impossible for him not to go to the power supply station to collect his salary.

Both are now more inclined to believe that the other has been murdered!

While waiting for the technical team, they visited several nearby households and received the same answer: they hadn't seen Sun Weixin for many days. Furthermore, the bald scar's statement was confirmed—years ago, Sun Weixin's arms and legs were broken, and he had been bedridden for several months.

Fortunately, he had his elderly father to take care of him back then, but two years ago, after his father passed away, he was the only one living in the house.

Soon, the technical team arrived and brought news that Liu Chengyu and his team had found the hospital's records from that year and were currently searching through the archives, awaiting final confirmation.
