Detective: I can see the criminal record

#471 - It turned out to be a tomb robbery

To be on the safe side, Cen Lian first called Director Wu and briefly reported the situation of the fraud case.

"We have already identified three suspects through fingerprints, footprints and surveillance, and we can start the arrest process at any time," Cen Lian asked tentatively on the phone, "Should we transfer the case to the Xicheng Branch, or continue to follow up and arrest them?"

Director Wu laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Are you asking me whether I will arrange new cases for you next?" Wu Kangzheng directly pointed out Cen Lian's thoughts.

Although Cen Lian himself didn't expect to be able to cover it up.

"It's still early before the New Year, and I do have a case for you," Wu Kangzheng said without waiting for Cen Lian to answer, "Your support team is not carrying out the 100-day assault nor going out on duty, so this case is just right for you."

"I guarantee to complete the mission!" Having said that, Cen Lian had nothing else to say and could only accept the task resignedly.

Wu Kang was flipping through some information on the other end of the phone, and added, "Your team will not be assigned to the school guard post next year, so don't even think about coming to bargain with me."

"How dare I, how dare I." Cen Lian didn't expect that Director Wu could predict what he was going to do.

Wu Kang was sitting in the office. He glanced at the files on the table and quickly hung up the phone.

He had several meetings to attend and just wanted to get the case out of the way quickly.

After Cen Lian hung up the phone, he stared at it for a while before he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask what the case was about. He just felt that Director Wu seemed to have completely predicted what he was thinking and didn't even give him any room to maneuver.

"Have you got a new case?" Qu Zihan asked him.

"Director Wu had already guessed that I was going to ask him, and he had even prepared the case for us." Cen Lian put his phone aside, "Let's finish this case, and take a look at the new case when we go to work tomorrow."

After the Xicheng Branch Office locked in the suspects in this fraud case, it was only a matter of time. The two suspects, a man and a woman, that Cen Lian saw in the criminal records and the suspect hiding in the electric well room were quickly identified through fingerprint matching.

Their modus operandi was not sophisticated. They physically invaded the router and implanted viruses into mobile phones connected to the router through the wireless network. Someone from the social work agency was also affected because the initial passwords of the routers in two of the three offices in their company had not been changed. Therefore, the three suspects who had been to their agency took advantage of the situation and attacked them.

These three people had already left Kang'an City, and the West City Branch began to hunt them down. Cen Lian and his team returned to the Municipal Bureau to study the new case.

Yu Ye and You Jiaming were successfully converted to full-time employees, but it would be difficult for both of them to have another opportunity in the short term. Cen Lian understood their choice very well.

As the year was coming to an end and there was less than half a month left before this year's summary and commendation conference, colleagues from the Political Department finally stopped them in the office and asked them to prepare a summary report well, and also prepare individual and collective acceptance speeches.

So after expressing his feelings, Cen Lian handed this important task to Cheng Xu, who was about to leave in less than half a month.

Yuan Chenxi clicked his tongue and said that he was squeezing out all his value.

"What's the use value?" Lin Xiangqi walked in carrying a canvas bag. "I heard there's a new case. What's going on?"

She had just returned from helping out on another murder case and didn't know the current situation.

"Nothing, just talking about the year-end summary," Cen Lian checked the time, "Now that everyone is here, let's go to the conference room to look at the new case."

Five minutes later, eight people sat in the support team's meeting room.

"Where are Xiaoyu and the others?" Wu Qiushan found something wrong.

"They were called away by the Political Affairs Department," Yuan Chenxi happened to see them being called away when she came to the office, "to talk to them about the formalization process."

It is not common for auxiliary police officers to be directly promoted to regular employees. Cen Lian and his colleagues had never seen it before and did not know what the procedures were.

"It seems like there is some kind of exam that needs to be taken, and after passing it, there will be new police training." Although Yuan Chenxi didn't hear everything they said, she heard a little bit, "It is said that now even if you have made meritorious service and received awards to become a regular employee, you still need to take an exam. It seems to be some kind of targeted recruitment, and the training process afterwards is the same as when we joined the police force."

"Nowadays, every job requires an exam, which is normal." Wang Yuanteng is well-informed. "It will take several months. It will be good if we can come back in April or May after the New Year."

It seems that they will have to take care of the new case.

"Let's not talk about them, let's look at the case first." Seeing that Wu Qiushan had almost finished flipping through the documents, Cen Lian opened the copied materials in front of him.

"Look, let me briefly summarize it," Wu Qiushan closed the information, "First of all, this should be a tomb robbery case."

His ability to remember everything he saw could greatly improve efficiency in summarizing cases.

"The case was transferred to us by the Xinqu Police Station. Initially, we caught a group of thieves in an anti-pickpocket operation. When we followed the clues to their base for selling stolen goods, we found a damaged bronze tripod in the base. At that time, the Xinqu Police Station was not sure whether it was real or fake, so they found experts from Lingxi University to help identify it. The identification results given by Lingxi University showed that this thing was a bronze ware from the late Shang Dynasty." Wu Qiushan briefly summarized the case.

Tang Hua took a deep breath when he heard this. "Things from the Shang Dynasty, I don't know if they were resold or stolen from tombs."

"The dealers were uneducated and didn't know these were genuine items. After learning the identification results, they immediately became cowardly and confessed directly who they got them from. In the end, they caught a thief," Cen Lian had also finished reading the information, so he continued what Wu Qiushan said, "The thief stole the items from a town in Yishou County. When they went to look for them, they found that the place was empty. The local police station speculated that this was most likely a tomb-robbing gang."

"Tomb robbing and reselling bronze artifacts are both major cases," Wang Yuanteng closed the unfinished file, "This case is time-consuming and laborious to investigate and requires a large number of police forces. It's the end of the year and everyone is too busy to handle it, so it's no wonder that it was handed over to us."

There are many cases of tomb robbing and cultural relics smuggling every year in the entire Yunling Province, but Cen Lian and his team have never taken over a complete case before, and now they don’t know where to start.
