Chapter 455

"Didn't you ask him where the phone came from?" Cheng Mingtong asked slowly.

In fact, he knew why the thief didn't ask. People like them who help people sell stolen goods know what to ask and what not to ask. For stolen goods like this, it's impossible to ask more.

"In fact, I really wanted to ask," the thief sat up straighter when talking about this. "His accent doesn't sound like a local, and I haven't seen him in this area. And the phones in his hands don't look like they were stolen directly. Not only are the screens cracked, but there are also sand particles stuck in some places. I felt something was wrong at the time."

Cen Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at the three criminal records on his head that had not been dealt with. They were all recent thefts. It can be seen that the pressure of being a thief is high as the New Year is approaching, and he has stolen a lot of things.

"We have already got hold of your recent theft cases," Cen Lian said before Cheng Mingtong continued to ask, "If you don't want to spend the New Year in the cell, you'd better think about what else you can confess about this group of people."

Since this man has doubts about Liu Xiangshan's gang, it is impossible that he really did nothing. These petty thieves know what they are doing and will not commit any major crimes. Instead, they will keep an eye on some suspicious people. If they are caught by the police one day to boost their performance, these clues in their hands will be used to exchange for a suspended sentence.

The guy in front of him obviously doesn't intend to confess everything, so he must put some pressure on him.

The first reaction of the thief when he heard Cen Lian's words was some doubt. When Cen Lian reported a few times slowly, he immediately became timid.

"I know something else," he said, with a surrendering attitude. "I felt that something was wrong with these guys, so I secretly followed them for a while. I found that they always drove a scrapped car around. There were two or three cat and dog cages in the car. I didn't know what they were used for. I even saw a little wild cat lying in it."

"When was the last time you saw them?" Cen Lian continued to ask.

"Let me think," he thought seriously for a long time this time, "about three months ago? It was almost when the students had just started school. I remember they were leaving in a hurry. When they left, I didn't think there were only three of them. They changed the car, a gray SUV, without a license plate. I saw that there seemed to be someone in the back seat, but it was too far away to see clearly."

At this point, Cen Lian estimated that this little thief would not be able to get anything out of him. After he got out, he called his colleagues from Xinhe Police Station and told them roughly the time when this guy stole.

The experienced police officers in the station know where these petty thieves who have been registered in the station usually move around. With the exact time point, they can catch him by looking at the surveillance.

"You didn't let him go either," Cheng Mingtong smoked a cigarette, "Now we can be sure that they changed the car when they escaped. This time it will definitely not be a scrapped car. I suspect it may be a stolen car."

They definitely dare not drive a legitimate car. If it is a stolen car, Cheng Mingtong in Taishan District really knows a few brave people who dare to take the stolen car.

These people are usually frequent visitors to the bureau. Knowing that selling stolen goods is a criminal act, they will go to jail as long as they are found.

But these people also know to keep a hand for themselves when selling stolen goods. They may not take the vehicles that may be involved in the case, but they will definitely ask about the case indirectly, so that they can sell these people in exchange for a reduction in sentence or probation when they really go to jail.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingtong immediately called a few police officers in his team who had some contact with these people and asked them to take photos of Liu Xiangshan's gang to identify them.

"It's a gray SUV, and it's a gasoline truck. It's probably not difficult to find," Cen Lian stretched his neck. "It seems that they took the two victims with them when they drove away. It's very likely that they found someone to sell it to after leaving the city."

Not selling it in the city means that the difficulty of finding people has increased again, but there are no new clues now. Cen Lian said hello to Cheng Mingtong and went back to the office area to see if others have made any new progress in the past half day.

The office area was still very busy at this time. The batch of people caught after the operation yesterday had not been processed yet. After bypassing the busy crowd, Cen Lian saw a few very calm tables.

That was the place temporarily allocated to them by the institute.

At this time, only two people were still in the office area, Tang Hua and Qu Zihan.

"How is it, is there any progress?" Cen Lian didn't hold much hope.

This group of people escaped three months ago. Now the time and energy required to find people has increased significantly. It is really a fantasy to want to find people directly in one day.

Tang Hua was looking at the map of Guizhou Province. Cen Lian noticed that his eyes were mainly focused on Wangjiang City.

"So you threw the dart and it hit here?" he asked.

Tang Hua scratched his head, "Not entirely, I think one shot may not be accurate, so I threw it twenty times, and Guizhou Province is where I hit the most times."

Cen Lian didn't expect this guy to try to find science from metaphysics.

"I think if you do this, metaphysics may fail," he and Tang Hua certainly have nothing to hide, "so I think your throw this time may not be accurate."

"What you said is indeed possible, but there is another reason why I have been looking at Guizhou Province," Tang Hua pointed to the oil spot on the map, "I took the map with a bun in my mouth, and when I spread it out, I found that I don't know when a drop of oil fell on it, and it happened to be in Guizhou Province."

Cen Lian: ...

Very good, it turns out that it is a double superposition of two metaphysics.

He didn't know whether he should believe Tang Hua's absurd metaphysics, so he still planned to pin his hopes on Qu Zihan who was staring at the computer screen behind Tang Hua.

This at least represents science.

Qu Zihan, who was highly expected by Cen Lian, turned his head and took a look, "The bad news is that I didn't find the game accounts of Liu Xiangshan and Gao Quan, and the good news is that I found He Qian's."

"Can her IP be found through the account?" Cen Lian suddenly felt much more reliable.

"We are negotiating with the game company, at least it is impossible today," Qu Zihan was helpless, "and according to the response from the game company, she has not logged into the game for at least half a month, so we can only find the IP displayed when she last logged in."

"That's not bad, at least there is a direction." Cen Lian was looking forward to the IP from more than half a month ago. As long as he could determine which city it was in, he could directly start checking the surveillance at the highway intersection of this city. As long as he spent more time, he would definitely find them.

It seems that so far, this case is still moving forward.

"Where did they go?" Cen Lian asked, looking at the empty seats.
