You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 303 I've finally found you!
The K121 green train arrived in Deyang at 7:30 pm, more than ten minutes later than scheduled.

The sun had already set below the horizon in the west, and the train station square was beginning to be shrouded in darkness.

After Yang Jinwen and his group exited the station with their luggage, they immediately recognized the person who had greeted them.

A bespectacled, refined-looking young man strode over: "Are you Team Leader Yang Jinwen?"

"Hello, Captain Lin, the train is delayed. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Don't be shy, the guesthouse has been arranged for you, it's right across from the Municipal Bureau. If you're not in a hurry, let's have dinner first, and then I'll take you to your accommodation."

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "No need for a meal, let's investigate the case first."

Lin Qiao frowned: "Investigating a case?"

He glanced at his watch: "It's already dark, there's no need to rush, is there?"

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, could you leave the car with us? We'll drive to the guesthouse ourselves in a bit, so you won't have to bother. I'll write you an IOU, and we'll compensate you for any damage to the vehicle."

Lin Qiao glanced at his follower, a female criminal police officer who had come with him. She was tall and had fair skin.

She didn't introduce herself, so Yang Jinwen and his group didn't know her name.

However, Cai Ting did take a good look at the other woman. Yao Weihua was right; the Sichuan girl's skin was really fair, almost translucent.

"Well then, I'll call our team." Lin Qiao had no other choice, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed the team's number.

Yang Jinwen didn't wait for him and nodded to the group of people on his side.

Yao Weihua, with the cat in tow, headed straight for the taxi and motorcycle stand.

Cai Ting walked towards the police station next to the train station.

Seeing their actions, Lin Qiao quickly reported the matter to the branch. After hanging up the phone, he walked over to Yang Jinwen.

He began, "Captain Yang, it's like this. Our branch captain said that you've come all this way for the case, and our branch can't just sit idly by."

Since you're not familiar with the area and the situation, Xiaoxiao and I will assist you with your work for the next few days.

Yang Jinwen nodded, realizing that the other party was afraid he would cause trouble and unnecessary problems.

"Okay." Yang Jinwen nodded and pointed to the police station next door.

Lin Qiao nodded: "Please feel free to do as you please."

Yang Jinwen walked toward the police station, with Lin Qiao and a policewoman named Chen Xiao following behind her.

Before Yang Jinwen arrived, Lin Qiao already knew what case they were investigating, but she didn't know the specific details.

At the police station, Cai Ting inquired about the specific arrival time of train K121 on January 23. Although there was a train timetable, it was possible for the train to arrive early or late, and delays were common.

There are relevant records at the train station, and it is especially important that 'Crimson' was carrying a gun.

With Lin Qiao's help, he accessed the train station's records under his own name.

Six months ago, on January 23, K121 arrived at Deyang Railway Station at 7:50 p.m., a full half hour late.

In other words, 'Yinhong' got off the train at 7:50 p.m. that evening, close to 8 p.m.

Upon learning this news, Cai Ting immediately contacted Yao Weihua and Maozi.

Following that, Yang Jinwen and others visited motorcycle drivers, taxi drivers, and nearby guesthouses and hotels around the train station.

To gain a more intuitive understanding of the train station, each of them bought a map of Deyang and followed the road signs along the streets.

If this were in Anan City, the patrol team and security team would definitely do this work, and they wouldn't have to go through all that trouble themselves. But this is another place, not their own.

Moreover, the Deyang Criminal Police Detachment was clearly not very cooperative.

Lin Qiao graduated from police academy and worked for five years before becoming the deputy captain. His daily work mostly involved moving upwards, rather than downwards.

Although he is a front-line criminal police officer, bearing the title of "criminal police officer," he mainly serves his superiors and does not directly participate in investigation and case-solving.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to handle the reception.

He thought Yang Jinwen was just saying he was investigating the case casually, but he didn't expect that the visit would last for several hours.

Yao Weihua's legs were aching from walking, and he sighed, "Captain Yang, next time let Qi Bin take over. Don't try to sweet-talk me. I'll volunteer to stay at the unit and help you with your post."

It was already 11 p.m. when they sat at an open-air food stall with several plates of Sichuan specialties on the table.

Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish), boiled sliced ​​pork, stir-fried pork kidneys, crispy fried pork, and a pot of spicy hot pot.

The two regions have similar cultures and cuisines. However, people in Sichuan province prefer spicy and numbing flavors, and dishes with chili peppers must be made with Sichuan peppercorns, which is something that the group of people found difficult to adapt to.

Lin Qiao and Chen Xiao, on the other hand, ate with great relish.

The cat felt its mouth was numb and had lost all feeling, but it felt great.

Yang Jinwen held a pen and marked the streets he had already visited on the map.

Lin Qiao ate a piece of pork kidney and watched from the side, asking, "Captain Yang, can we find the person by just conducting these visits?"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "'Yin Hong' will either stay in a hotel or take a ride after getting off the train. She will definitely go somewhere."

"Six months have passed. Are you sure the drivers and guesthouse owners in the area remember her?"

Yang Jinwen took out a photo of 'Yin Hong' from his notebook and handed it to him.

Under the dim light of the shop, Lin Qiao glanced at her and immediately nodded: "I can definitely remember her face, she's so beautiful."

Yao Weihua stared at him: "Captain Lin, are you sure that since January 23rd, in the past six months, there haven't been any unusual murder cases here?"

Lin Qiao pondered for a moment: "You mean cases involving the use of Type 64 rifles? I can tell you, there really weren't any."

"Not a single shooting?"

"No, they were all homemade guns, not standard issue."

Yao Weihua sighed: "Then what exactly is 'Yin Hong' coming back for? Didn't she take revenge on anyone with a gun? Did she kill someone in some other way?"

Cai Ting suggested, "There must be some unsolved murder cases after January 23rd, right?"

"Then we have it."

Yang Jinwen squinted: "Could we take a look at the case file?"

Hearing this, Lin Qiao hesitated: "This...we need to apply to the bureau, I can't make the decision myself." Yao Weihua said: "Captain Lin, this case is related to both of our places. This woman didn't come back for vacation. What she's up to is definitely a major criminal case."

"If your team doesn't cooperate, the criminals will go unpunished. Do you understand the consequences?"

Lin Qiao nodded slightly: "I understand. You guys get some rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, Captain Yang will come with me to the bureau to report the situation to our superiors."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "That works too."

Lin Qiao is a new-era criminal police officer. Before graduating from police academy, he was full of vigor, but after working for a while, he became very slick and cunning due to the constraints of the system.

He exuded an air of old age, or rather, a sense of aging.

After finishing their meal, Yang Jinwen and his group returned to their guesthouse.

The next day, after everyone got up...

Yang Jinwen took Cai Ting to the Criminal Investigation Detachment and instructed Lao Yao and Maozi to visit the train station again.

The bus station is not far from the train station. You can take bus number 11 and get there after three stops.

Last night, their investigation at the train station yielded no results, making this line of investigation particularly important.

It is indeed possible that 'Yin Hong' took a bus to the bus station, stayed overnight at a guesthouse near the bus station, and then took a bus to where she wanted to go.

But how do we check?

If this were in Annam, Yao Weihua would simply go to the bus company, call all the drivers of bus route 11, and ask them one by one.

But in unfamiliar territory, they could only wait passively for opportunities to come to them.

So, Yao Weihua and Maozi, like two shifty-eyed pickpockets, stood at the bus stop outside the train station. When a No. 11 bus came along, one of them went up to offer a cigarette, the other showed his ID, and then, holding up the 'crimson' photo, asked the driver for information.

is that useful?
It's completely useless!

Bus drivers are the least concerned about what people look like.

How could they possibly keep track of everything every day, especially things that happened so long ago?

A driver with a better temper might even chat with you for a bit.

Those with bad tempers might say, "Come on, look at the people in my car, they all have such sullen eyes. Show me, six months from now, will you still recognize them?"

Yao Weihua smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's different, this is a beautiful woman."

"Beautiful girl my ass, go away, don't bother me."

Helpless, Yao Weihua could only say to Maozi, "Let's go ask around the bus station area."

Cat said dejectedly, "Go ask those bus drivers?"

"What the hell are you asking!" Yao Weihua swore in Sichuan dialect. "It's useless. Go ask the guesthouses nearby."

"Okay," the cat nodded.

To save some money, the two chose to walk there, since it was only three stops and a little over a kilometer away. They could also enjoy the local customs and culture of Deyang along the way (mainly by looking at the beautiful women on the street), just like taking a stroll.

When they arrived at the bus station, Yao Weihua looked at the densely packed buildings around him with a mournful face.

"Hey, it would be great if there were more people. With just the two of us, how long would it take to investigate?"

Cat also complained: "We just bought cigarettes this morning and gave more than a pack to those drivers. Will the team reimburse us for this?"

"What the hell!" Yao Weihua cursed as he squatted by the roadside, looking at the map in his hand: "Damn it, there are no guesthouses marked on this map. I have to ask around one by one."

"Stop complaining, let's go," Cat said. "We can't go back to Annam without finding anything. How are we going to explain this to the bureau?"

……

At this moment, Yang Jinwen and Cai Ting were in the archives of the Deyang Criminal Police Detachment, reviewing unsolved murder cases from the past six months.

The two also signed a confidentiality agreement and required the An'nan City Public Security Bureau to provide a guarantee.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Cai Ting brought food from outside, and after she and Yang Jinwen finished eating, they continued to review the case files.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Yang Jinwen received a call from Yao Weihua.

"Captain Yang, we've found 'Yin Hong's' whereabouts. On the night of January 23rd, she stayed overnight at a place called 'Youcheng Guesthouse'!"

"She checked in using the name 'Crimson'?"

"No, it uses the name 'Zhang Chen'!"

Yang Jinwen squinted: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, she showed her ID card. The guesthouse owner has a record of her ID number."

"Give me the number!"

A moment later, Yao Weihua answered on the phone: "510623..."

Yang Jinwen quickly picked up his pen, wrote it down in his notebook, and instructed Cai Ting to call Lin Qiao over.

"Captain Lin, look at this ID number, where is it from?"

Lin Qiao looked at it carefully, but he didn't know either. Chen Xiao, who was behind him, glanced at it and replied, "It's from Zongjiang County."

"you sure?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "I used to work in the household registration department at the police station, and this is indeed the beginning of Zongjiang's ID card."

Yang Jinwen let out a long breath, looked at the stacks of files on the table, and muttered to himself, "Finally found you!"
