Chapter 963: Difficult Progress
Chen Shi took a look. The female graduate student who was accused of killing her husband was named Chen Anhe. She had settled down in Long'an and he was considering whether to look for her. However, when he thought about it, manpower was very tight with the two cases being investigated at the same time. He decided to put aside this seemingly unimportant clue.
At the same time, Tao Yueyue went to the shady car dealership in the SWAT car. The car dealership was unexpectedly closed during the day. The leader of the team asked her, "Little girl, is this the place?"
Tao Yueyue nodded. She was a little nervous, not because she was about to face criminals, but because the SWAT officers in the same car were all tall and mighty men.
The captain gave orders through his walkie-talkie, and everyone got out of the car to prepare for the raid.
Only Tao Yueyue and Lin Dongxue were left in the car. Tao Yueyue asked, "Can girls become SWAT officers?"
"Both men and women can become SWAT officers, but you… I think you have an ulterior motive, don’t you?"
Tao Yueyue pursed her lips and smiled.
Lin Dongxue leaned over and said in a low voice, "If you’re assigned to the City Bureau in the future, go to the west window on the second floor at 3:00 every afternoon. It faces the drill ground of the Armed Police Department. They exercise shirtless in the afternoon and you’ll have a panoramic view of all their manly muscles."
"Wow, Sister Lin is really lewd."
"Aren't you perverted too? You were just staring at someone's pectoral muscles!" Lin Dongxue poked Tao Yueyue with her finger and chuckled.
Tao Yueyue said seriously, "I now have another objective for working hard!"
There was a bang from outside, and the SWAT officers broke in. They moved quickly and took all the people inside into custody in less than two minutes. Tao Yueyue had seen some of them before. They were like detestable rats while being detained by the officers.
Lin Dongxue said, "It's time for our turn!"
The criminal police got out of the car and rushed into this dealership. There were several dismantled vehicles in the dealership. This dealership was a place specializing in selling stolen goods. If the cars stolen by others were good ones, they would remodel them and sell them to other cities. Ordinary cars would be scrapped for parts and sold on the black market.
Lin Dongxue opened a drawer and saw many license plates. She ordered everyone, "Take all these license plates and invoices away."
At 5:00 in the afternoon, the seized evidence and the suspects were brought back to the criminal police team. Chen Shi walked out to greet them. Lin Dongxue said, “The operation went smoothly. I looked through the accounts. The total value of the stolen cars handled by this dealership is around five digits. It can be considered a major case."
"Thanks, I suppose it will take quite a while to interrogate these people."
It took three days to deal with this shady car dealership, but this mission was also rewarding. The license plate that Tao Yueyue saw was found among the fake license plates they sold. According to the suspects, the one who bought the fake license plate was someone nicknamed ‘Old Four’, and furthermore, they provided an address.
‘Old Four’ might have been that pusher!
Chen Shi was very excited when he obtained this clue, and immediately took people with him as he rushed over.
However, when they knocked on the door, they found that a family of three lived there. Faced with a large number of police officers at the door, the owner was a little nervous and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Do you know someone called ‘Old Four’?" Chen Shi asked.
The owner replied, "There isn’t anyone called ‘Old Four’ here."
"Are you renting this house?"
"Yes, we’re from out-of-town and came here to work."
"I want to see the landlord."
The tenant made a phone call and after a while, the landlord who lived on the same floor came over. Chen Shi said that he wanted to see the previous tenants’ contracts. The landlord found a bunch of them. Chen Shi took them and looked at them one by one until a name caught his eye.
The man was named Lu Dahai. He was single and lived alone. All aspects of his characteristics were very close to Chen Shi's profile of the pusher.
Chen Shi asked, "How long has this person lived here?"
"Him? He lived here for two years. I remember that he seemed to work at a convenience store, but he was later transferred to another place and moved away."
Lin Dongxue checked using the police mobile information service, took Chen Shi aside, and said, "Captain, this man has a criminal record."
"Investigate him carefully!" Chen Shi handed over his phone. "Take my phone and call the bureau."
Chen Shi showed Lin Dongxue's cell phone to Tao Yueyue and asked, "Yueyue, was this the person?"
Tao Yueyue covered the top of the photo with her hand, and frowned for a moment, "I can't remember, but if I hear his voice, I have an impression."
After a while, Lin Dongxue said, "He’s still working at a convenience store. It’s a chain store. The company says he only takes one day off a week, which is Wednesday. Oh yes, he had originally gone to jail for causing serious injuries. He suffered from a serious mental illness later in prison and was transferred to a mental hospital, where he stayed for two years. He only left three years ago."
"I think it’s most probably him, but we still need Yueyue to check again. I'll ask the brothers to head back. Let's check it out as a family of three..." Chen Shi glanced at Tao Yueyue. "Don't wear this police uniform. Change into civilian clothes!"
Tao Yueyue said, "I didn't bring any clothes to change into."
"I'll go to the nearby children's clothing store to buy you some."
"Why should I wear children's clothes?!"
"Would an adult clothing store have your size?"
Tao Yueyue pouted unhappily.
The other police officers went back first. Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue took Tao Yueyue to buy clothes nearby and visited a few clothing stores. Tao Yueyue didn’t find anything suitable. Chen Shi impatiently said, "Just buy any set of clothes. We still need to investigate the case."
"Of course you have to choose clothes carefully... Why are they so childish? Haii!"
Lin Dongxue brought over a set of clothes and said, "Yueyue, you can try these!"
"That's men's clothing." Chen Shi said.
"She can also wear men's clothes. Yueyue is thin, so she can try pulling off a dashing style."
Tao Yueyue ran to the dressing room to change into them, and then ran out to ask their opinions. She wore a purple men's shirt with a small tie and a pair of casual suit pants. Tao Yueyue had her hair cut short at the police academy and looked like a handsome boy. Lin Dongxue clapped her hands and said, "Extremely dashing!"
Tao Yueyue turned around in front of the dressing mirror and said happily, "Haha, it suits me well. Sister Lin has a good eye."
"You look totally like a different person!" Chen Shi also agreed sincerely.
"Girls can be beautiful as long as they match their clothes well. I'm an expert at this!" Lin Dongxue said proudly.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you to buy clothes for Yueyue in the future. Let's get to business as soon as possible."
The convenience store was quite far away, and Chen Shi sighed on the road, "It took four or five days to find a decent clue. I hope we won’t come up empty-handed this time!"
"Fortunately, the 'Life Function' hasn’t appeared in the past two days. By the way, how is the investigation into the source of the information going?"
"On my WeChat. See for yourself."
Lin Dongxue reached out to Chen Shi and took out his mobile phone. The WeChat message had been sent by Sun Zhen. It turned out that a post regarding the deceased, Little Ya, had appeared on an online forum, describing in detail how she had set traps using her beauty and extorted money.
Lin Dongxue glanced through it a few times. "This post was from last year, but it doesn't mention Little Ya's real information. Can the murderer find her just through this?"
"This is the only thing Little Worm found. It seems that the source of the news wasn’t the Internet. The murderer may have some hacking skills and used them to monitor the target."
"Then he must have monitored quite a few people before he found these two that were 'worth killing'. Is he that idle?"
Tao Yueyue offered from the back seat, "Is it possible that his job is to monitor and observe ordinary people?"
