Detective: I can see the criminal record

Cen Lian actually has an impression of this noodle shop.

When this place was full of food stalls and all kinds of street stalls, this noodle shop was already in its current location, but it looked much newer then.

Later, small vendors and shops on this street came and went, and this noodle shop and several butcher shops and small supermarkets became the last coordinates of the street.

When locals saw it, they would say something like "The third spicy hotpot on the left of Hu's noodle shop is closed."

Even Cen Lian himself usually said so.

But after so many years, he himself has never been to Hu's noodle shop, but he knows that there is such an old noodle shop.

When he and Tang Hua entered the door, they were dressed like ordinary customers.

"What do you want to eat?" The boss Hu Shuangquan sat at the table closest to the kitchen, holding a cigarette in his hand.

Cen Lian's eyes flashed over his head, pretending not to see the text bubble above his head at all, and sat down with Tang Hua at a table covered with oil stains.

Tang Hua realized something was wrong after seeing his actions, and swallowed back all the questions he wanted to ask. He and Cen Lian ordered a bowl of noodles casually.

"I haven't seen you two guys before." Hu Shuangquan shouted into the kitchen, turned around and chatted with them casually.

Cen Lian took over the conversation very naturally.

"Although I lived not far away before, I never came to your house to eat. Today, I just had a sudden whim and planned to try what this old shop with more than ten years of history tastes like." Cen Lian glanced at the text bubble above the boss's head. Although his expression was calm, he was actually very excited in his heart.

[Name: Hu Shuangquan]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 59 years old]

[Criminal record: 5593 days ago in Kang'an City, provided Gao Tong with a place to kill and assisted in the cleanup of the corpse. ]

[Prison record: None]

Eleven days have passed since I saw Gao Tong, the murderer.

Before, they had been suspecting that the roadside was not the first scene. After all, even if it was a heavy rain, there would not be any bloodstains, fingerprints, footprints, etc. that could be used for testing on the roadside and the place where the body was finally found.

Now it seems that this guess is correct.

I just don't know where the Hu's Noodle House, which is the first crime scene, will hide the evidence.

"When I was a child, I often passed by your store," Cen Lian continued to observe the environment of the noodle house, pretending to recall his childhood and talking nonsense with the boss, "It was very lively here at that time, and everyone came to eat at the night market."

While Hu Shuangquan was talking, Cen Lian gently touched Tang Hua's elbow and motioned him to look at the wall on the other side of the noodle house.

Tang Hua immediately understood what Cen Lian meant.

The walls of this noodle house were obviously repainted several times, but there were a few places that were slightly thicker and more uneven than other places.

Hu Shuangquan still didn't notice anything and continued to talk to Cen Lian.

"It was really lively back then. There were many people living in the old family compound nearby, and many people came to the night market to eat at night. It's not like now. The old and broken novels here can't be sold, and no one is willing to live here. 70% to 80% of the original shops have closed down." Hu Shuangquan was also led by Cen Lian into memories.

Tang Hua took the opportunity to touch the protruding wall closest to them and found that it was not difficult to remove it.

But now Hu Shuangquan is here, so they don't want to alert him.

After eating noodles, the two found a deserted place nearby and sat down.

"Do you think there's something wrong with that noodle shop?" Tang Hua recalled the bumps on the wall he had touched. "It's just a few bumps on the wall. It's not really evidence."

"I remember when this case was still an active case, this noodle shop was not searched in detail because it was beyond the search range at that time." Cen Lian was not without basis this time. "But think about it, if that road is indeed not the first crime scene, this noodle shop is actually very suspicious."

Tang Hua scratched his head, as if he was convinced by Cen Lian, and wondered if his thinking was too jumpy.

However, it is not a big deal to expand the search range a little bit when handling such a backlog of murder cases, so he wrote a report and handed it to Director Chen.

That's right, since the investigation of this backlog case began, although it is unknown how Director Chen did it, anyway, this case has not been handed over to the criminal police team for the time being, and they are currently conducting "preliminary investigation work" with Director Chen.

That is to say, the case will be first investigated in the station, and then handed over when there is enough evidence to provide to the criminal police team.

In this case, their only boss is Chen Xinrong.

Tang Hua quickly received approval for the search.

Before dark, the station sent another seven or eight people, carrying investigation boxes and driving police cars.

With the search warrant in hand, the rest was to verify Cen Lian's guess.

After all, the noodle shop was not demolished and rebuilt, so there was a high possibility that the bloodstains and other information from that year were preserved.

There was no professional trace detection in the police station, but everyone had mastered the basic skills of scraping off the wall and illuminating it with a purple light.

Not to mention checking the ground in front and behind the entire noodle shop to see if there were any signs of buried things.

As the first piece of wall was scraped off, Cen Lian carefully shone the wall with a purple flashlight.

The moment the reflection of the bloodstain appeared in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the case was finally proven.

Tang Hua looked at Cen Lian with great admiration, which made him a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the text bubble popping up above Hu Shuangquan's head, he wouldn't have checked the wall of the store for any abnormalities. After all, as an old store that has been in disrepair for a long time, the wall is bumpy.

"The case can be transferred to the criminal police team," said Chen, who came late. Looking at the murder weapon and bloody clothes dug out from the backyard of Hu's noodle shop, as well as the bloodstains splattered on the wall, he looked very happy. "This case is considered to be closed in our hands. You two can at least get a reward."

Chen Xinrong patted Cen Lian's shoulder and liked him more and more.

Tang Hua grinned, but he wasn't too happy.

The consequence of being deeply remembered by the leader is that he probably won't be able to continue to play dirty in the future.

Cen Lian smiled very sincerely.

In the evening, he received a WeChat message from Wu Qiushan.

"Has the unsolved case you asked me about last time been solved?"

"Yes." Cen Lian sent a grinning emoticon.

"You also caught drugs on the high-speed rail and sent fugitives to brother units?" Wu Qiushan continued to ask.

Cen Lian suddenly felt something was wrong.

How did this guy know that I did these things? Logically, the materials for reporting merits should not have been sent to the district.

"I suddenly have a bad feeling." He thought of that possibility the moment the message was sent.

"Yes, you will be seconded soon."

Cen Lian always felt that Wu Qiushan's last sentence was sent with gloating.
