Chapter 39 The Identity of the Deceased is Confirmed
Chapter 39 The Identity of the Deceased is Confirmed
I'm going to Shanghai anyway.
Investigating only one person would be a waste of investigation funds.
With the mindset that they were going to go anyway, while waiting for the letter of assistance from Shanghai, the Third Squadron interviewed many of Li Ailian's classmates of the same age, and even students from the two grades above and below her.
The key point is to investigate one thing: have you ever heard of anyone who works in Shanghai?
After finding out, I asked my family for their specific information about him in Shanghai.
This investigation uncovered a total of eleven people.
Nine of them had specific work or address information, while the remaining two had no further information besides their names, ages, and graduation photos, due to reasons such as the early death of family members or their parents moving to other places long ago.
Wu Song and Xu Bin compiled all this information together.
……
11 month 1 number.
It's Monday again.
It's already the tail end of autumn, and the average daily temperature has dropped to around 10 degrees Celsius.
Wu Song had already put on thin thermal underwear and a trench coat over it.
My older brother Wu Qiang dragged me to buy it on Sunday; the seller said it was the same style as Little Ma's.
It looked pretty good and could accentuate Wu Song's heroic and upright figure, so I put it on.
I arrived at the office in a very stylish manner and took a seat.
With most of his work done and no cases to handle, Wu Song took out some forensic books he had read before and continued studying them.
"Brother Song, you've almost finished reading half of it?" Liu Shutong asked as she walked into the office, seeing Wu Song engrossed in studying the forensic book. "Have you memorized the beginning?"
"That's about enough."
"Really?" Ma Xiaowu turned around, looking slightly shocked.
"Guess?" Wu Song chuckled, not in a hurry to explain, and threw the question back at him.
As for whether or not it was written down.
Wu Song didn't know why, but after arriving in this thousand-year-old place, his memory had improved a lot. Saying he could remember everything he saw was an exaggeration, but it was definitely much better than before.
Therefore, what he said before was not a lie.
I've memorized almost everything.
"Apprentice, forensic medicine isn't as simple as it seems." Cao Dahua, who had just entered, patted Wu Song on the shoulder. "It requires experience, and it's best to have a mentor to guide you. What's up? Don't want to work in criminal investigation anymore? Want to become a forensic doctor?"
"It's more interesting to work in criminal investigation. I just think it's always good to have more skills."
Wu Song smiled and continued reading.
After reading two pages, a clapping sound came from the doorway.
Accompanying this was Xu Bin's voice.
"I have two pieces of news to share. First, the letter of assistance from Shanghai has finally arrived. Xiao Song, get your clothes ready tonight, we'll head to Shanghai tomorrow. Second, the DNA test results for the deceased and Li Guangming have also come back."
Xu Bin paused for a few seconds, and seeing that everyone was about to ask, he said, "It's a parent-child relationship. The body buried in Liu Jianshe's ancestral grave is Li Yanan!"
"I knew it!"
The other members of the three teams all wore expressions that said, "I knew it."
At the same time, I felt a bit emotional.
"I never imagined that a corpse we discovered back then could cause such a stir in Shanghai. It's still hard to believe when I think about it now."
"If we had decided on the case without doing DNA testing, and Liu Jianshe had been executed, and then Li Ailian came back a few years later, we would have been in real trouble."
"You don't understand!" Xu Bin said. "Even if Liu Jianshe admits to the case, he won't be sentenced to death. He can say that he accidentally pushed his wife during an argument. Although it did result in her death, considering his subjective intent and other factors, he is unlikely to die."
But this case was really dangerous; it almost planted a time bomb for our Third Squadron.
Once I find Li Ailian, I absolutely have to ask her, "How did you come up with this method? It's absolutely brilliant!"
"Actually, it's still because we don't have enough funding!" Ma Dazhi picked up a water cup made from a gift can jar and took a sip of tea. "If we had enough funding, we could do a DNA test on every body that comes up, would we still have this risk? All problems, in the end, come down to money. A man with money is a hero; a man without money has a hard time!"
"At least we've identified the deceased, which means our investigation was on the right track. Captain Xu, apprentice, it's up to you two!" Cao Dahua raised his thermos cup. "Wishing you a triumphant return from your trip to Shanghai!"
"We will surely return victorious!"
……
"Besides, besides..."
A green train is traveling south at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Wu Song and Xu Bin sat facing each other. Xu Bin was looking at the scenery outside the window, while Wu Song was looking at the people inside the car.
Watching the people coming and going, hoping to spot one more person shrouded in black mist, or even just one more stick of incense lit, that would be good too.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Bin glanced at Wu Song and asked with a smile, "You're not thinking of grabbing someone in the car, are you?"
"No, I was just thinking, just in case, right, Brother Bin?"
"Hey, why don't you ask why we don't drive to Shanghai?"
"Is that even a question?" Wu Song couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It's over a thousand miles. Brother Bin, are you sure your car can drive all the way to Shanghai without any repairs? What if it takes a long time to fix?"
"Sometimes I feel like you don't act like a recent college graduate at all," Xu Bin chuckled. "Looking out the car window again, I wish I could get a better car someday."
……
Wu Song's wish to catch a murderer on the train was dashed.
After a train journey of more than ten hours, the two finally got off at Shanghai Railway Station at nine o'clock the next morning.
Then I went straight to the Zhabei District Branch.
Li Yanan works and lives in Zhabei District, so this investigation naturally targeted her there.
After completing the relevant procedures, Wu Song and Xu Bin met the two local police officers from Shanghai who were assisting them in the case.
"Hello, Xu Bin."
"Wu Song!"
"Chen Jialin!" The speaker was a police officer who was about 1.7 meters tall and spoke with a Shanghai accent. He wore glasses and looked more like a teacher, but he was actually the deputy captain of a squadron.
"This is my apprentice, Xiao Wang."
"Hello, Huang Wenxuan."
"Huh?" Xu Bin was taken aback. "What's your surname?"
"Yellow, the yellow of yellow."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Xu Bin exclaimed, almost forgetting that Wang Huang was so indistinguishable from the others in Shanghai. He nodded to Captain Chen, "Shall we set off now? It has been confirmed that Li Ailian was murdered, and she shouldn't be called Li Ailian anymore, but Li Yanan."
"What's going on? Isn't this the case of Li Ailian's disappearance?" Chen Jialin asked, puzzled.
"It's rather complicated. Let's talk about it as we walk. We might need to go to the Pudong New Area government to meet a very important suspect first."
"good!"
Because they had already coordinated with the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the case could be investigated throughout the city, Wu Song and Xu Bin got directly into Chen Jialin's Volkswagen Santana and drove to Zhao Weimin's workplace.
After showing my identification, I arrived at the door of his office.
"Xiao Zhao, some police officers want to ask you some questions." A director pushed open the door and called out to the inside.
