Attend a classmate's wedding and arrest the bride on the spot

Chapter 292 The Lame Man

When the female boss heard that the police were here to investigate the case, she suddenly became anxious.

"Investigating a case? What case are you investigating?? We are operating legally and have certificates! Comrade police, we have not done anything illegal!"

As soon as the landlady came over, she started talking nonchalantly.

Seeing her nervousness, Ye Chen said, "You are the proprietress of this store, right? We are investigating a murder case and the box used by the suspect to dump the body. After investigation, we found that only your store has this box. sales records, so come and investigate.”

After hearing this, the lady boss turned to look at the young female clerk aside.

The young female clerk nodded immediately and said, "Yes, boss lady."

"Most of the usual suitcases in our store are medium-sized, ranging from 20 to 30 inches. Small ones and too big ones are not sold well. You only got two of the largest 34-inch suitcases. , I just checked the sales bill, I don’t know when one was sold a few days ago, and there is only one box left. But..."

"I really have no memory of when that box was sold, and I can't remember who bought it. The surveillance camera in our store happened to be broken, so I can't find out clearly..."

After listening to the clerk explain the whole story, the proprietress suddenly realized.

It turned out that the police came not to investigate their store, but to look for clues.

The proprietress immediately said: "It turns out they were checking this place. I was shocked. Why are there so many policemen in the store?"

"The largest suitcase..." the proprietress repeated. After thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up and she said, "I remembered, I sold that suitcase!"

Hearing what the landlady said, Ye Chen suddenly became energetic.

He originally thought that the store clerk had no impression of the person who bought the box, and it would be troublesome to check it.

I guess I have to look for the records in the mall and check it slowly bit by bit. In a large mall with tens of thousands of customers, this is a big project.

Unexpectedly, the landlady would say that she sold the box. Ye Chen immediately asked, "Then what impression do you have of the person who bought the box?"

The lady boss didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "Of course!"

"You also heard what the little girl in my shop said just now. Large-sized boxes like this in my shop can't be sold at all. Just put those two large boxes there. They take up space and collect dust. No one wants them at all."

"Three days ago at noon, a man suddenly came over and asked me if I had the largest box. I directly brought him the largest box to show him. I thought he would think it was too big, so I took it for him. Little one, I didn’t expect that he fell in love immediately and paid directly without even talking about the price!”

At this point, the landlady looked frightened and said: "I was quite happy at first, thinking about meeting such a wealthy customer. But now that you say this, I am really scared and sweating on my back." …”

"According to what you said, that man is a murderer! He bought my box to contain corpses too? It's so scary!"

The landlady was also very frightened.

"The person who bought the box is a man? How old is he? Do you still remember him?"

Ye Chen continued to ask.

"The man looked... about 40 years old, wearing a navy blue coat..." the proprietress said as she recalled.

"That's right! I remembered that the man's legs were limping. I don't know if he was injured or if he was lame!"

Hearing these words, Ye Chen and Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

Age and color of clothes are very popular. It is very difficult to find someone based on those two criteria.

The proprietress said that it is inconvenient to buy boxes of people, which is a very obvious feature.

According to this feature, you will definitely be able to find people who buy the box quickly!
Xiao Feng and Ye Chen quickly found the lame man through the mall's surveillance system based on the description given by the luggage shop proprietress.

Sure enough, at ten o'clock noon three days ago, the man limped into the luggage store and walked out five minutes later. When he left, he was still carrying a huge suitcase in his hand.Ye Chen and others followed the mall's surveillance cameras and finally found the scene of the man leaving the mall.

Finally, after the lame man left the mall, he got into a taxi and drove away.

It's just that the man got into the taxi in a relatively remote location. In the surveillance footage, we could only see the man getting into the taxi, but we couldn't see the license plate number of the taxi at all.

Xiao Feng hammered the table unwillingly and said angrily: "What a pity! If the car key is closer, you can see the license plate number clearly, so we can check it quickly!"

Xiao Hou said: "We can send the screenshots to the Technical Investigation Department and let them process the screenshots to see if they can see it more clearly!"

Xiao Feng nodded and said: "Now, this is the only way."

"Xiao Hou, you..."

Xiao Feng was about to instruct Xiao Hou to transmit the photos to the Technical Investigation Section. Ye Chen, who had been standing aside and staring at the surveillance screen, suddenly interrupted him and spoke.

"*******"

Hearing this string of letters and numbers, Xiao Feng was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What did you say, Xiaoye?"

Ye Chen stared at the screen and repeated it again.

In the puzzled eyes of Xiao Hou and Xiao Feng, they came back to their senses.

"This is the license plate number of that taxi."

When Xiao Feng heard Ye Chen's words, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

"number plate??"

"It's so far away, and the back of the car is just a blur. Where can I see the license plate number? Why can't I see what you're talking about??"

Xiao Hou also quickly moved closer, took off his glasses and stared at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "I can't see clearly...Boss, how did you see this? Are you sure?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I'm very sure!"

"If you believe me, go check according to this license plate number immediately! You will definitely find the taxi! This way, you will also save time! You can find the suspect as soon as possible!"

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiao Feng and Xiao Hou looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Although they didn't understand why Ye Chen could see the license plate number from such a blurry screenshot, Ye Chen's previous experience in handling cases told them that when they didn't know what to do, they would definitely not listen to Ye Chen. would be wrong.

As long as they trust Ye Chen, Ye Chen will definitely be able to find useful clues that will allow them to solve the case as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"Just check it by the license plate number as Ye Chen said!"

"Find clues to this taxi as soon as possible!"

Then, he turned to look at Ye Chen aside and said firmly: "I believe in Ye Chen's judgment!"

After hearing this, Xiao Hou gradually strengthened his attitude.

He immediately answered yes and went to investigate.
