Chapter 309 Remaining Traces
This is an ordinary residential building, with a slightly peeling earthy yellow exterior wall. The password lock at the first floor door is damaged and dangling halfway.
Cen Lian put on shoe covers and walked into the room on the first floor.
The first batch of police officers who came to search found residual bloodstains in this room and notified them immediately, and then began to search the remaining empty rooms in the building.
"I thought it would be the kind of unfinished building we encountered before, but I didn't expect it to be in a decent residential community." Wang Yuanteng was obviously a little surprised by this result, but after carefully observing the entire building and this community that was new but not inhabited, he understood why the address was chosen here.
This community is not in the center of Illinois, but in the suburbs close to the highway and national highway. There are only a few buildings in the community and not many residents.
"See the fenced area at the back? They were supposed to build the second phase there, but the first phase was not sold out. The boss ran away because he could not collect his investment and pay the labor and material fees owed." The team leader Hu Maohua came with them again. "They said this place was supposed to be developed into a small Jiangnan in the Gobi Desert. A small pool was dug at the back, but it was left there and no one cared about it."
"The houses in this community were delivered reluctantly. There is no property management. Many people who bought houses are unwilling to renovate them. So those who live here are either in urgent need or happen to work nearby. Some small companies rent here as offices and staff dormitories to save costs. It is also cheap to rent houses in our city, so most people will not rent here."
After finding out the current situation of the community from Hu Da, Cen Lian first looked at several empty rooms on the first floor, then turned around and went up to the second floor.
Qu Zihan was holding a stack of photos and looking for corresponding places one by one. Wuqiushan had already started the work of trace extraction.
"Boss, look at this photo," Qu Zihan called out to Cen Lian when he saw him coming up, "The video of Yao Manni was shot here."
Cen Lian took the photo and compared it, confirming that the place where the camera was facing in the video was a corner of this rough house.
"And the video of this girl was also shot here. I have recognized her identity by facial recognition. Her name is Duan Lili. I haven't seen any missing reports yet." Qu Zihan said, "I have taken screenshots of the faces of those who appeared in the video and asked my colleagues at the Yizhou Municipal Bureau to help identify them, but the number is too large, so it will probably take some time to identify them."
"A large part of the victims here should still be alive," Lin Xiangqi stood behind the two of them, "The number of people who appeared in the video is far greater than the number of bodies we have found during this period, especially male bodies, which have not been found yet."
There are quite a few male victims in these videos, but Cen Lian has seen more than 20 of them.
"It's hard to find surveillance videos from more than a year ago in this area now," Cen Lian didn't expect to find out where the person is now through the surveillance, "Have you found Yu Huafeng's current location?"
"No, he has disappeared for a long time," Qu Zihan put down the photo, "Do you want me to try to find out if the victims who appeared in all the videos have used their ID cards recently? They have so many people's ID cards in their hands, they won't have used them once."
Cen Lian didn't deny that this method might be able to find someone, but he now has a new idea.
He recalled Yu Huafeng's criminal record, which showed that he had killed someone in Liangzhou City nine months ago. During this period of time, they should have withdrawn from the hideout in Long Province, so this dead person named You Xue might be able to find something.
