Chapter 156 Exactly the Same Clothes
Wang Yuanteng heard Cen Lian arguing loudly before he entered the door, so he walked in with Qi Yan.
"Are you attacking our captain?" He sat aside and started to watch the fun.
"What attack!" Cen Lian immediately defended himself, "Didn't I say to have a good rest tonight and go to Tashan tomorrow?"
Wang Yuanteng was a little surprised to hear the word Tashan, "Is there any case over there to help?"
Wu Qiushan explained the situation of the white bone case to him.
"These two cases are finally in our hands," Wang Yuanteng couldn't help but complain, "I don't know how the third squadron feels, they will definitely not be too happy."
The complicated murder case was handed over to other squadrons for investigation. Although the pressure on him was relieved a little, he was really unhappy.
Tang Hua also heard the news after he came back.
Yuan Chenxi yawned and thought of the car parked behind.
"If the car hadn't been detained here because of the case, we could at least have one more day to rest before we go," she also knew why Cen Lian didn't waste too much time, "then let's get off work early today?"
It was only a little after four in the afternoon, far from their usual time to get off work.
"Well, let's all go back and rest first, and leave for Tashan City tomorrow morning." Cen Lian, the squadron leader, made the decision, and no one would stay in the office to work overtime, and one was faster than the other.
Cen Lian was the last one to go out, and then he saw Wu Qiushan waiting for him at the door.
"Are you planning to go to my house for dinner again?" Cen Lian looked at him speechlessly, "No, your family doesn't have so many gatherings."
"Of course not," Wu Qiushan motioned him to get in the car first, "Did you lose your memory? Today is the birthday of Uncle Jiang's granddaughter. Didn't your father tell you?"
Cen Lian took out his mobile phone, and then he realized that he hadn't seen the WeChat message at all.
"I forgot because I was busy," he patted his forehead, "Where are we having dinner tonight?"
"Still the same place." Wu Qiushan got in the car and stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the suburbs.
After reading the WeChat message from his father, Cen Lian remembered that he had told him about this last month, but he was busy with the case at that time and didn't remember it at all.
"Is Uncle Jiang in his sixties this year?" He really couldn't remember, "I always thought he was not very old."
"Sixty-seven," Wu Qiushan glanced at Cen Lian while driving, "Brother Jiang is thirty-five this year, what do you think?"
Cen Lian recalled and found that Jiang Chong and Wang Yuanteng were of the same year.
"It's been a long time," he sighed, "I really admire Brother Jiang, he really has the courage to resign from the Municipal Bureau and start a business, anyway, I don't have the courage."
Wu Qiushan also looked very emotional.
Jiang Chong's father Jiang Heping was a comrade-in-arms with their father, so they were very familiar with Jiang Chong since childhood. When they knew that he resigned from the Municipal Bureau at the age of 28, Cen Lian heard that his father almost beat him half to death, and the relationship was not eased until he got married and had children.
When the two arrived at Jiang Chong's house, they just avoided the upcoming evening rush hour and were considered the earliest few people to arrive.
After greeting Uncle Jiang, Jiang Chong found them.
"I heard that you have set up a support squadron now," Jiang Chong came over to talk to them with his daughter in his arms, "Why does it sound like firefighters, going to put out fires wherever they are needed."
"You are right," Cen Lian felt that the nature of his work was similar to what Jiang Chong described, "It's just busier than before."
"How can a criminal policeman not be busy," Jiang Chong shook his head, and wanted to say something else, but saw Cen Lian staring at his daughter Jiang Yao's clothes, "Is there something on the clothes?"
Cen Lian looked at Wu Qiushan, "Does this dress look exactly the same as the one you found?"
Wu Qiushan took out the photo and compared it for a long time before finally confirming it.
Jiang Chong has also been a criminal policeman for several years. As soon as he saw their movements, he knew that there was a case, so he pulled them from the living room to his bedroom and changed his daughter's clothes.
The changed clothes were placed on the table. Cen Lian and Wu Qiushan carefully compared the photos and found that they were indeed exactly the same.
"Brother Chong, where did your daughter buy this dress?" Cen Lian asked.
"I have to ask your sister-in-law. Yaoyao's clothes are all bought by her." Jiang Chong quickly went out and called Jiang Yao's mother Lin Li in.
Lin Li looked at the clothes and thought for a while, then opened the mobile order.
"It's this store. The clothes here are more expensive, and the order volume should not be large." Lin Li said and sent the store link to Cen Lian.
When Jiang Chong heard that the child's clothes were worn on the dog, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly went out.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Chong came back holding the phone.
"Cen Lian, this is my old leader, you answer the phone." Jiang Chong motioned Cen Lian to answer the phone.
Cen Lian knew that Jiang Chong used to work in the Tashan Municipal Bureau, and his leader should be a squadron leader or brigade leader of the Tashan Municipal Bureau at that time.
"Hello, I am Cen Lian." He habitually introduced himself.
"Yan Zhan, the captain of the first brigade of the criminal investigation detachment of the Tashan Municipal Bureau." The other party obviously knew who Cen Lian was, and without much greeting, he directly talked about the case, "Our municipal bureau had a case ten years ago. Several bone fragments of a child were found in a car pulling a lamb, and the clothes of the deceased were also worn on the lamb."
Ten years ago?
Although Cen Lian is still unsure of how many years ago this case happened, Wu Qiushan has just communicated with the customer service of the online store and knows that this dress is a new model from last year.
The two cases do have strong similarities, but the time of the incidents does not match at all.
"Master Yan, it is not convenient for me to explain the details of this case in detail. We will go to Tashan City tomorrow, and we will meet and communicate then." After Cen Lian and Yan Zhan agreed, they hung up the phone and saw Jiang Chong looking at him.
"I remember this case very clearly," he sighed and sat down. "I had only been a police officer for three years at the time, and I had not come across many murders. This was my first time to come across such a serious murder. I still remember that we found the parents of the deceased through the remaining bones and compared them with the missing persons. Later, we determined through DNA testing that the deceased was a five-year-old boy."
"The murderer has never been found in this case. Later, I heard that it was reopened once, but there were no new discoveries." Jiang Chong looked at Cen Lian after he finished speaking, "I didn't expect the same thing to happen again."
Cen Lian looked at the clothes that Jiang Chong had placed on the table. The last victim was the same age as her daughter. As a father, he could not help but feel the same.
This time, the victim was wearing the same clothes as his daughter.
"Don't worry, Brother Chong, I will find the murderer." Cen Lian said solemnly, "I will never let this person go unpunished!"
