Chapter 160 The Missing Link in the Criminal Record

"How did you target her?" This time it was Cen Lian's turn to ask Wu Qiushan.

"The reason is similar to yours. I found several people whose eyes were constantly scanning downwards from the surveillance cameras at the entrances of these shops and guesthouses. Their gazes were not directed at the surrounding stalls, but at other people around them." Wu Qiushan's explanation was very simple, "But there are too many such people in the surveillance. What I am showing you now are only the people who look a little strange in the surveillance cameras of the three shops and guesthouses we went to at the beginning."

The USB flash drive in his hand also contains the content captured by the cameras at the entrances of dozens of similar shops.

These days, cameras are very popular. As long as you open a store outside, there is one at the entrance of almost every store. So it seems that there is more information, but it is actually more difficult to filter.

Cen Lian thought about it. Although he now knows that Wu Xiaoli killed the person, he has no evidence at all.

Even the evidence pointing to her is very lacking.

This is very troublesome. Although the people in the support squadron can trust him unconditionally, he still needs to think of a suitable reason if he wants to summon Wu Xiaoli.

"Look at her movements," Cen Lian continued to search in the surveillance, "She seemed to bend down and do something."

Wu Qiushan also became alert when he heard the bending action, and set his eyes on Wu Xiaoli.

"Continue to track and see?" He found that Wu Xiaoli was gradually leaving the range of the camera.

"The next camera didn't capture her." Cen Lian shook his head, "I just confirmed that she disappeared after leaving the range of this camera."

Wu Qiushan's expression became serious.

This person may have just walked away from the intersection normally, or she may have deliberately avoided the camera!

"I sent this video to Qu Zihan for her to process. She is better at image enhancement than me." Cen Lian temporarily stopped the surveillance video.

Although I don't know why Qu Zihan, a computer science student, wants to learn image enhancement technology, the photos she processed are better than his own in terms of clarity and completeness.

So Cen Lian happily handed all professional matters to professionals.

"Let's stop here today," Cen Lian checked the time. "Although this video is not long, it will take at least half a day to enhance the image frame by frame. Let's go back and rest."

Although this case is serious, it is much less urgent than the previous cases.

After Cen Lian returned to the residence arranged by the Changyi County Bureau, he suddenly received a call from Gu Da.

Since the last case was transferred to them, Gu Hongliang has not contacted him again.

"Captain Cen, I heard that you are investigating the case in Tashan City?" The not-so-familiar captain got straight to the point.

"Yes, we are in Changyi County," Cen Lian didn't know why Gu Hongliang came to him at this time, "Is there anything for Wei Zhi?"

"It's like this, we have a case from more than five years ago. It was reported to us by other provinces. It said that a bloody child's clothes were found in a car passing through our area. The driver said that it suddenly appeared when he was waiting for the goods in transit here, but we had no clues about this case before, and we couldn't find anyone to confirm the identity of the deceased." As soon as Gu Hongliang opened his mouth, Cen Lian understood what he meant.

It seems that this case may also be related to the case they are investigating.

But Cen Lian did not expect that no remains were found in Gu Hongliang's case.

"Gu Da, how about you send the file over?" Because there were no bones, Cen Lian was not sure whether this case was also committed by Wu Xiaoli.

But the time more than five years ago did match the time shown in one of the criminal records.

The deceased was called Wu Mingliang, also from Tashan City.

But Cen Lian had checked his household registration records. He was not from Changyi County, and the place of disappearance was not in Changyi County.

Not only him, only the first victim Ge Jiaxin and the last victim Yang Linxuan in this case were from Changyi County.

The remaining four victims were not even from the same district or county.

Tashan City has two districts and eleven counties under its jurisdiction. The scope of Wu Xiaoli's crime is a bit large.

"No need to send it, I'll ask someone to send it to you," Gu Hongliang said after talking about this case, and suddenly changed the subject to talk about the previous case, "By the way, the previous case has a follow-up result. We arrested Cai Jiewei's superiors. These two people used to engage in fraud in Southeast Asia. After smuggling back to China last year, they found Cai Jiewei, who had just been released from prison, and used benefits and rhetoric to get him to join. After that, they began to carry out activities in our province and neighboring provinces, and currently have developed several subordinates."

Cen Lian estimated that this organization has now been uprooted.

But among this group of cult members, it is estimated that only Cai Jiewei has the heaviest sentence.

That's a murder case!

"So have they found the source of the hallucinogens in their hands?" After the last incident in Yunnan Province, Cen Lian is more sensitive to this kind of thing than ordinary criminal police.

After all, he has come into contact with a lot of drug dealers.

"It was handed over to the police in Shanxi Province to investigate," Gu Hongliang did not elaborate this time, "At present, we still tend to believe that they were smuggled in from overseas."

This is similar to the previous speculation.

After Gu Hongliang hung up the phone, Cen Lian suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Something was missing from the criminal record!

The murderers of several dismemberment cases he had seen before had the word "dismemberment" in the text bubble above their heads, but this time there was no such word on Wu Xiaoli's head.

I don't know if this is because the system is streamlined, or if she just killed people and didn't dismember them.

The system did not give a direct response.

Cen Lian hesitated a little. It seemed that this case was not as simple as he saw now.

…

The next morning, Lian Yuan, the squadron leader under Gu Hongliang, and Yan Zhan from Tashan City appeared in the small conference room of Changyi County Bureau together, making the conference room seem a little crowded.

"Company," Cen Lian greeted Lian Yuan, "What's the situation of the case over there?"

Lian Yuan gestured to a young policeman behind him to play the PPT.

"This case is really confusing," Lian Yuan said as the young police officer was operating. "The car found a bloody piece of clothing when it was unloading. The Jin Province traced it back and confirmed that the driver's last resting place happened to be in our county, and he even took some things to our county."

"Where did the car start from?" Cen Lian asked.

"It was Tashan City," Lian Yuan watched the PPT loading complete, and then continued, "The driver also drove a sports car. He took a batch of sheep from Tashan City to a large slaughterhouse near our county, and then took a truck of chickens to Jin Province. The bloody clothing was not found until it was taken to Jin Province. The driver insisted that he did not see the bloody clothing when unloading in our county, so the case was considered here."

It is indeed a bit complicated.

If this case was indeed committed by Wu Xiaoli, it would be difficult for the Wu County Bureau to find out about Tashan.

Wu County is very close to Kang'an City, so some slaughter bases and breeding farms are located near the junction of Wu County and Kang'an City. If this car is transferred to a factory under the jurisdiction of Zhou County in Kang'an City, it is estimated that this case will be handled on the Kang'an City side.

It can be considered a bit unlucky.
