Chapter 417: Accomplice - Dismissal (Part )
Six accomplices in the case
Seventy-four Expulsions (Part 1)
Jiang Mo had just stepped on the accelerator to turn the car towards the side door of the backyard when Huang Xingjun was pushed and shoved by Lin Yu into the exhaust of Jiang Mo's Tin Toad. He raised his hands and hit the car twice as it rushed out of the yard before it could speed up. He took two quick steps with his long legs, opened the door that was not locked yet, and threw himself into the passenger seat, panting.

"No need to go to the Nanyang Road Police Station to pick up Xiao Letian who has been squatting outside Xue Yilian's house all night. You two have been squatting there for half a day and a whole night. When you get sleepy while driving later, there will be no one to replace you—" Huang Xingjun frowned angrily, struggling with the passenger seat belt. After pulling the belt, he slumped in the passenger seat. Through Jiang Mo and Lin Yu, who was leaning against the window of the driver's seat and holding the car window to give instructions, looked aggrieved, "You're still laughing!"

"Don't laugh...don't laugh." Lin Yu leaned against the car window, trying to hold back his laughter until he almost had a stitch in his side. He looked up at Jiang Mo, who was yawning halfway through the journey with his mouth open. He simply slapped the car door, made a "tsk" sound at Huang Xingjun in disdain, and then raised his hand to signal them to change seats. "Let Huang drive on the way there, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

Jiang Mo was so sleepy that his mind was fogged up. He threw himself into the passenger seat and waved to Team Leader Lin with his upper body tilted. The car was almost two miles away when he realized it belatedly and turned his head with squinted eyes to ask: "...Hey Team Huang, aren't you and Team Lin keeping an eye on the clues brought back from Jinbai County? Xue Yilian's consumption records and the outlets where Dean Song's retirement salary card was withdrawn several times before. Have you checked them all?"

"It's pretty close... Xue Yilian's spending and movement patterns before she disappeared are basically traceable, but all of her online banking and card payment records stopped without warning on the night Chai Qing's body was found. This guy definitely had a plan to disappear. Apart from the recent time she sneaked into the ATM at the Central Hospital to withdraw cash, she had openly used Dean Song's salary card to withdraw money from the ATM several times before. After searching, it turned out that they were all her dirty dealings with Chen Zuoyi—"

Huang Xingjun had been to the suburban hospital a lot recently. He was very familiar with the place and was steering, looking at the sign on the road with one eye. "...Among the detailed cash flow that can be checked now, apart from the normal expenses after Dean Song collapsed in the sanatorium due to anger, the most questionable thing to consider is the one around December last year...The two and a half people under Lin Lin will have to go to Tu Siyao to take over the shift, and Lin Yu will have to go there with Hu Xu and Wang Hao later."

"Around December last year..." Jiang Mo thought about it for two seconds and raised his eyebrows slightly, "That was the time when Song Yike was released from prison... But I heard from Master that he seemed to have asked Officer Chen Haibin in the prison, but he didn't find any records of Xue Yilian visiting him."

Huang Xingjun shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "I thought we could find out something fishy about Xue Yilian, but now we're wasting manpower and resources on keeping an eye on her. It would be troublesome if we can't get any evidence and keep watching her... Xue Yilian is quite interesting. At first glance, she looks so wavy and flamboyant. If she wants to hide, it's hard to catch her. If we hadn't found her former residence on Nanyang Road, we would have thought that what Nurse Shana said about Song Wanwan's best friend getting married was all nonsense."

Jiang Mo curled his lips in agreement, took out his cell phone which had been vibrating in his pocket, glanced at it, yawned and continued, "Old Gu sent a message saying that some review team or investigation team from the bid winner will go to the suburban hospital for inspection today, and asked us not to scare the leader and to be more cautious... I think I can see a little bit brighter. Why did you let Team Lin come to me?"

"Do you think I'm happy about it? Isn't it the expert from that province who can draw portraits--" Huang Xingjun looked at the old man Le crossing the road on the left or right and smashed the steering wheel in anger, but he didn't dare to hit the horn, for fear of really scaring the old man in the old man Le.

"Didn't Linlin and I pick up two photos in Jinbai County? The technicians said that there was no hope for the missing one, and that the one that was burned black could barely be restored to a rough outline, but technical issues would definitely take time, so I asked Captain Gu if he could talk to the painting expert from the province to discuss whether we could draw one if we can't get a shadow... The expert first said no, because the photo was burned so black that there was no black head at all, and there was no reference point at all. Later, he said that we could see to what extent the technology could restore it, and we could try to use it as a reference... It's rare for me to have such a detailed job, so I'll ask whenever I have time."

Jiang Mo blinked: "Can this question lead to trouble?"

Huang Xingjun wanted to cry but had no tears: "He said I harassed him." "..."

Jiang Mo had not expected that such a scene would happen in the Criminal Investigation Brigade during the past two days when he had been living and eating at the Nanyang Road Police Station. He turned his head sharply to look at Huang Xingjun, and pursed his lips hard to hold back his laughter. "The portrait expert... the male one or the female one?"

"The male one. If it was a female police officer, I wouldn't be so blind." Huang Xingjun laughed bitterly, "It's also my fault. I wanted to get close to her, but I didn't know her manners. I couldn't even touch her shoulder or pat her back... She seemed to have a meeting this afternoon. Lin Lin and I had planned to go out on field duty after the meeting... Now it's settled. I don't want to make people uncomfortable by staying in the room - although now there are only a few blurry backs and profiles, it seems that we can make a rough portrait. Nothing is more important than arresting someone, right... Just avoid it. There are only a few clues on the desk, so it doesn't matter which one we follow."

Huang Xingjun was busy talking, staring at the red light for a few seconds before realizing that he hadn't stepped on the brakes, and almost got his bumper stuck in the trunk of the car in front. He raised his hand to apologize to the driver in front of him who was almost leaning out of the window and cursing. He glanced at the folder that slid off the center console when the car stopped suddenly and was quickly picked up by Jiang Mo, and frowned slightly.

"How many death certificates did you find in Xue Yilian's house?"

"Three." Jiang Mo quickly arranged the papers in his hand, holding the folder and leaning over to retrieve the photos that had fallen under the seat, and then stuck them one by one on the phone holder on the center console: "Xue Yilian's ex-husband Yang Zhi who didn't get a marriage certificate - this is from the hospital's accident department, with formal cancellation procedures, cremation certificates, and cemetery purchases. Everything is available."

"Then, Dean Song Meiyin Song, there is only a death certificate and a handwritten receipt for the ashes from a suburban crematorium without a stamp."

"Besides, this is it. The death certificate issued by the suburban hospital. But in the column for the deceased's identity information -"

Jiang Mo pinched a corner of the photo and flicked his finger on the back of the photo card.

"It's completely blank."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
