Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chapter 75 The clue is broken
In the room, everyone fell silent.

This feeling of being infinitely close to a suspect but not being able to touch him in the end is very frustrating.

Chen Yi also quietly took out a cigarette and lit it, lost in thought.

Obviously, the suspect has certain counter-reconnaissance capabilities, but there is no record of him in the DNA database, indicating that there is no criminal record.

If it was the first time he committed a crime, it could only be explained by being smart and cautious.

At the very least, he must be smarter and more cautious than the usual suspects.

"Chen Yi, what should I do?" Zhuo Yun looked over and asked for next instructions.

Chen Yi took two puffs of cigarette and said, "Let's rest tonight."

"Tomorrow, please ask friends from the transportation department to help investigate, and issue a joint investigation notice to all police stations in the city."

"As for us, we will visit all scrap car yards and we must find this car."

From the surveillance footage, although the suspect was wearing a mask and gloves when dumping the body, he did not necessarily wear them all the time.

Inside the car, there may be identifying features of the suspect, such as fingerprints on the steering wheel.

If the three parties act at the same time, almost comprehensive coverage can be achieved.

If the suspect is still using the car, the traffic police can check it.

If the suspect intends to store the car for a long time, he must rely on the investigation of the police at each police station.

If it is scrapped, then find it from a scrap car factory.

In short, as long as he didn't throw it into the sea or find a corner and burn it, he would definitely find it.

Zhuo Yun nodded: "Okay, everything is up to you."

He suddenly discovered that Chen Yi really had leadership potential. No matter what situation he encountered, he could always give the most appropriate direction of investigation in a short time, so that the case would not reach a deadlock.

As long as the police are moving, the suspect will get closer and closer to them.

……

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chen Yi returned home and found that the light in the living room was still on.

Turning around, I saw my father, Chen Zhiyao, sitting there, sipping a drink and cracking melon seeds.

There are old movies from the 80s on the TV, which are very down-to-earth.

Seeing this, Chen Yi walked over.

"Dad, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Chen Zhiyao looked over and said with a smile: "There will be nothing to do tomorrow morning. I won't be able to sleep."

"Tell me, what's going on with you these past two days? Why are you back so late? Are you very busy at work?"

Chen Yi stepped forward and sat down, picked up the cigarette case that Chen Zhiyao placed on the coffee table, and took out one cigarette from it.

"I have a case recently, so I'm a little busy."

"Case?" Chen Zhiyao was curious, "What case?"

Chen Yi lit a cigarette and said, "Dad, we have confidentiality."

Hearing this, Chen Zhiyao smiled and waved his hands: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot about it."

"Xiao Yi, you have to take care of your health even though you are busy. I will ask your Aunt Zhang to stew some bird's nest or something for you tomorrow."

Chen Yi chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated. It's normal to be busy."

After saying that, he glanced at the other person and said, "Dad, you won't be waiting for me to come back, right?"

These words caused embarrassment to appear on Chen Zhiyao's face, and he said sternly: "No, no, what am I waiting for you to do? I just want to have a drink by myself."

"What about you? Do you want some?"

"Oh yes, you have to take the time to rest."

Chen Yi didn't respond. He leaned over and picked up another cup and poured himself two taels.

The wine is not bad, about three thousand a bottle.

Three thousand dollars of wine is just ration wine for Chen Zhiyao.

Seeing Chen Yi's actions, Chen Zhiyao looked very happy, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with him.

"Come on, we haven't had a drink for a long time."

Chen Yi nodded, finished half of it, and then grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

He could feel that Chen Zhiyao was indeed waiting for him, and he was probably a little worried.

The job of a criminal police officer is relatively dangerous and hard.

From Chen Zhiyao's eyes, he could see the complex emotions of pride and distress. He was happy that he could become a criminal policeman, but also worried about his responsibilities as a criminal policeman.

Very contradictory.

The expression of father's love is not as direct as that of mother's love, but sometimes it can make you enjoy a different kind of warmth and endless aftertaste.

Just like the glass of wine in front of me, it is extremely mellow.

"Dad, don't worry, I know how to protect myself."

During the silence, Chen Yi said something.

Chen Zhiyao nodded: "That's good. If something really happens, everything...hey, forget it, you just have to figure it out."

He probably meant to think about himself first.

But a police officer who puts himself first may not be considered qualified.

Chen Yi: "I know."

After saying that, he glanced at the other person and suddenly asked: "Dad, have you heard of Ningshun Orphanage?"

Ningshun is the name of the orphanage where the two missing girls lived more than 20 years ago.

It's been such a long time, history has long buried it, maybe the older generation will know.

So far, he has no intention of merging the case, but the two sides have commonalities, so they still need to pay attention and cannot let go of any possibility.

Assuming that the two are really connected...

Then, the new case is like a key, which will open the dusty file.

On the contrary, old cases may also be of great help to the investigation of new cases.

For the investigation, this is mutually reinforcing.

"Ningshun?" Chen Zhiyao thought for two seconds and said, "I know, I've been there before."

Chen Yi was surprised: "Been there? What were you going for?"

Chen Zhiyao: "Show love, it is very helpful for the corporate image, and charity can be tax deducted."

Seeing that Chen Yi was silent, Chen Zhiyao continued: "Selfless is actually a relatively ideal word. Behind almost all public, there must be selfishness."

"Of course, as an entrepreneur, charity is also a manifestation of social responsibility, and it can also highlight personal value and promote personal happiness."

"Your father and I are not that kind of profiteer. Now that I have the strength, I should help those in need."

"It's a win-win situation. The two don't delay each other and don't conflict with each other."

"Good for me, good for them."

"Do you understand me?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Understood."

He knew that the other party's ability to take the company public was definitely not a good thing, but his soft side could not be denied.

We can’t have such high demands on those in high positions in the business world.

As I just said, being selfless is ideal, and being able to be both public and private is already pretty good.

But that's not what he cares about.

"Dad, have you ever heard of some... bad things in the orphanage?"

This question made Chen Zhiyao wonder: "Bad things? What are you referring to?"

Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "For example, the children in the orphanage were harmed."

"This……"

Chen Zhiyao hesitated and finally shook his head: "No, why are you asking?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Nothing, just a casual question."

"Are there many people doing charity work in Ninh Thuan at that time? Who else besides you?"

Chen Zhiyao: "There are many, and there are other friends."

Chen Yi: "Do you remember them all? Can you give me a list?"

His reasoning speed for the case is much higher than the current investigation process.

Although only the suspected deck car has been found, he has already started to make relatively reasonable guesses after listening to Qian Ningchu's words.

Even as far back as 20 years ago.

Whether it is correct or not can be verified slowly.

A normal investigation is an investigation, and the guesses in your mind are guesses. These are two different things, and they do not delay each other.

With both lines running at the same time, his brain is still sufficient and will not affect the progress of the case.

The list that was requested from Zhang Jingang is already in hand. If Chen Zhiyao gives another one, the coverage will be even greater.

It would be fine if there was no connection between the two.If so, then this case is likely to be a serial rape and murder case that spanned 20 years.

Its nature will be completely different, and its severity will be directly upgraded to a higher level.

This is why Zhang Jingang became so perplexed after hearing what Chen Yi said.

Chen Yi's words made Chen Zhiyao even more strange: "Ah? Why do you want a list?"

Chen Yi: "Of course it is useful."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Chen Zhiyao said helplessly: "Okay, I'll write it for you after thinking about it and put it on the coffee table. You can take it by yourself tomorrow."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad, for your hard work."

"By the way, Ningshun Orphanage is private, right?"

Chen Zhiyao: "It seems so."

Chen Yi: "What about Shanghe Orphanage? Have you been to Shanghe Orphanage?"

Shanghe Welfare Institute is where Zhao Ruoyao lives.

Chen Zhiyao shook his head: "No, in recent years, others have been responsible for charity work, and I have long stopped caring about it."

Chen Yi nodded: "Oh... okay."

After the father and son chatted for a long time, they went upstairs to rest and spent the night without talking.

The next morning, after Chen Yi had breakfast, he came to the Municipal Bureau with the list given by Chen Zhiyao.

After comparing the two lists, no problem can be seen for the time being.

He didn't think much about it. The most important thing right now was to find the suspect vehicle. This was the most urgent matter.

Another day passed, and it was the morning of the third day.

There is no news from the transportation department, and there is no feedback from the local police stations. There should be no results for the time being.

At this time, Chen Yi took Zhuo Yun and others to a scrapped car factory in Yangcheng.

This scrapped car factory is small and looks dilapidated from the outside.

After entering the gate, you can see a hill of car parts piled up in the distance.

Scrapped car factories are generally private enterprises, but strict procedures are required, and the scrap data of each vehicle needs to be reported.

Having said that, there is still a lot of room for manipulation. Just like the annual vehicle inspection, as long as you have money and connections, there are always loopholes to exploit.

Chen Yi met the boss.

The boss is relatively young, about 30 years old, with dark skin and dirty body.

When he learned that the visitor was a criminal police officer from the city bureau, his expression suddenly changed.

It can be seen that part of the money he earns must be irregular.

"Ever seen this car?"

Zhuo Yun took out the vehicle photo from his bag and showed it to his boss.

The boss took a look and said quickly: "No, no, I haven't seen it before."

Of course Zhuo Yun will not give up here.

The bosses of these scrapped car factories feel that everyone is not telling the truth, otherwise it would be impossible to waste the whole day yesterday and check six or seven companies.

The process was very bumpy.

"Think clearly, this car is very important and involves a major criminal case!"

Zhuo Yun's voice was cold.

"If you dare to lie, if you are found out in the future, you will be held criminally responsible for concealing the facts of a major case!"

The boss was immediately startled and at a loss for a moment.

Chen Yi said at this time: "You have seen this car, right?"

He had been paying attention to the changes in the other person's expression. When he looked at the photo just now, the person's reaction was wrong.

The boss is silent.

Chen Yi: "Either tell the truth or be tortured. Choose one."

Hearing this, the boss was frightened again. After swallowing his saliva, he said with a smile: "I've seen... I've seen it."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Yun's eyes narrowed and he quickly said: "When have you seen me before?!"

Boss: "Last Sunday."

"Last Sunday?"

Zhuo Yun thought about the time. Wasn't it the second day after the body was dumped?
"Where's the car?!"

He spoke angrily.

The boss was excited, pointed behind him and said: "Tear it down. The customer asked for it to be scrapped immediately. I...I can only do it."

Zhuo Yun's face immediately turned ugly. What do you mean you can only do as you're told? The money will be in place, right?
That is a hill filled with countless vehicle parts!

Beside him, Chen Yi also looked cold and said in a cold voice, "I'll give you two more choices."

"First, find me all the parts and everything will be easy to talk about."

"Second, notify the transportation department to come and have a good chat with you."

Hearing this, the boss was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Stop being busy! Find a car!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran over and began to direct the people below to move the accumulated parts.

Chen Yi looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go help too."

Zhuo Yun: "Okay."

The search lasted for more than three hours, and car parts were retrieved from the open space one after another.

At a certain moment, Chen Yi turned his head and saw someone not far away picking up the steering wheel. After observing carefully, he was about to make a move.

"Don't move!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi shouted immediately.

"Is that the steering wheel of that car?"

The other party nodded quickly: "Yes, yes..."

After receiving the affirmation, Chen Yi greeted Lu Yongqiang: "Brother Qiang!"

"understand!"

Lu Yongqiang knew what to do, so he immediately changed his gloves, quickly stepped forward to take the steering wheel and came to the open space, where he prepared to take fingerprints.

Chen Yizhuoyun also came over and waited quietly.

As time passed, Lu Yongqiang's face became more and more ugly. Finally, he raised his head and said, "It's very clean. It should have been cleaned up."

Hearing this, Zhuo Yun wanted to curse.

Chen Yi was silent for a while and then said: "Take all the parts back to the city bureau."

The moment we learn that there are no fingerprints on the steering wheel, this clue is basically broken.

If you want to check again, you can only check the purchasing channels, which will waste a lot of time.

The day before yesterday, I thought the suspect was a little clever, but now it seems that the other party's anti-reconnaissance capabilities and awareness can be said to be very strong.

"What does the person who brought the car look like?"

Chen Yi called the boss over and asked.

The boss looked helpless: "I don't know, I'm wearing a mask."

Chen Yi: "How old are you?"

The boss thought for a while and replied: "Not young, about forty."

Chen Yi: "Do you have surveillance here?"

Boss: "Yes."

Chen Yi turned around: "Brother Yun, go make a copy."

Zhuo Yun: "Okay."

Everyone returned to the city bureau, and the technical department began to conduct a careful inspection of car parts.

However, Chen Yi knew that the possibility of getting useful clues from the car was not very high.

On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Yi was called to the office by Zhang Jingang to inquire about the progress of the case.

After listening to Chen Yi's report, Zhang Jingang nodded slightly and encouraged: "It's very good to find so much in three days."

"Although the suspect is cunning, he is getting closer and closer to us."

"Is there any direction for the next step?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, let's take advantage of the clues and extract DNA for comprehensive comparison."

It would be necessary to extract the DNA of all the residents of the building to search for objects thrown from high altitude, let alone the current abominable rape and murder case.

Zhang Jingang was slightly stunned: "Whose DNA was extracted, the welfare home?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "No, all the men present at the love donation ceremony."
