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

Chapter 309 Found Her! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The train from Deyang to Jiangcheng.

This is a railway within Sichuan Province, but the starting station is from Shaanxi Province, so Yang Jinwen and his companions met many fellow villagers in the carriage.

Jiangcheng was designated a municipality directly under the central government last year, which has led many people to go to Jiangcheng to work and make a living.

Due to limitations, even taking a slow train (like the old green-skinned ones) takes most of the day.

Apart from Yang Jinwen, Yao Weihua and the other two were somewhat sullen.

Compared to previous pursuits, they were less enthusiastic this time.

Yao Weihua placed his hands on the small table, glanced at the receding scenery outside, and said, "Let me tell you my thoughts. My current feeling is that I want to find 'Yin Hong,' but I also don't want to find her."

If we find her, we can uncover the truth of this case, close the case, and go back to report our findings and even get credit.

I don't want to find her because she's living such a miserable life.

When she suffered, no one cared; now that she's been forced to kill, we want to arrest her. Tell me, is this any kind of bullshit world fair or not?

Cat looked at him in surprise: "Old Yao, you used to tell me not to empathize with prisoners, so aren't you feeling the same way I am now?"

"Get lost, this is different!" Yao Weihua retorted stubbornly.

"It's the same!" Cat insisted. "Don't be stubborn. You have no compassion. Are you even human?"

Cai Ting nodded: "Don't call anyone."

Yao Weihua glared at them, then looked at Yang Jinwen sitting by the window: "Captain Yang, what are you thinking?"

Yang Jinwen turned his face. He was sitting facing backwards, so he couldn't see the scenery in front of the train. He could only see the scenery constantly receding, scene after scene flashing past his eyes, like out-of-focus movie frames.

Yang Jinwen sighed slightly and said, "Although I think the same way as you, we are criminal police officers and we cannot let criminals get away with it."

"Yin Hong" participated in the murder of Yuan Dajun and directly killed Tao Jianye, Li Fuzhong, and their family of three, suspected of five deaths. Even if she is innocent, the law will not sympathize with her.

The three looked at him in surprise, all agreeing that what he said was true, but his words were far too ruthless.

Cai Ting wasn't afraid of him and asked directly, "If our lovely and beautiful forensic doctor Wen committed a murder or a crime, would you arrest her?"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "Of course I'll arrest him, but according to the principle of kinship, the case won't fall on my shoulders."

"How heartless!" Cai Ting rolled her eyes. "I'm going to tell Wen Ling'er!"

Cat said, "I just hope that 'Crimson' is not in Jiangcheng, but far away."

Cai Ting paused for a moment, then asked about a question that hadn't been discussed during the trip.

“The identity of ‘Yin Hong’ is fake. Her hometown is Shaping Town in Jiangcheng. In her letter, she told the deaf-mute girl that she could go to this place to find her. Does she still want to live as ‘Yin Hong’?”

Yao Weihua shook his head: "Impossible, she definitely wouldn't dare use the identity 'Zhang Chen', nor would she dare use the name 'Yin Hong'."

Although Jiangcheng has been separated from the city, it is still within Sichuan Province. Such a big case will definitely warrant a nationwide manhunt. If she doesn't hide her identity, she definitely won't be able to escape.

Applying for a temporary residence permit also requires identification, so it depends on how much money she has on her. If she has a lot of money, there's still a way to evade capture.

Cai Ting nodded: "I think we should just treat this as a trip. It would be great if we could find the person, but if we can't, then so be it. Anyway, the case is pretty much settled. The ones who are worried are the Deyang Criminal Police Detachment. Some of the karma has been transferred to them, and they will never be able to shake off that shadow for the rest of their lives."

The cat agreed, nodding several times.

Although Yao Weihua didn't say anything, judging from his expression, he probably thought the same thing.

Only Yang Jinwen remained gazing at the receding scenery, his thoughts unknown.

In the evening, they got off at Jiangcheng Railway Station and then took a bus to Shaping Town.

The town was located at the river wharf. They arrived there in the evening, and the police station had already closed for the day. Not wanting to trouble them, they decided to go there the next morning.

Jiangcheng is a typical dock culture, with its food being oily and spicy, and full of local flavor.

Everywhere you look at the dock, you can see boats dredging sand and porters carrying loads on shoulder poles.

The terrain is not flat; the houses are built on a steep slope, which is actually a large flat area with densely packed low buildings. Going up the long steps, there are even more densely packed houses.

Yang Jinwen and his group found a place to have dinner. After returning to the guesthouse, no one was in the mood to chat. Some read newspapers, some watched TV, and some went to sleep.

Early the next morning.

The group went to the police station, and following Yin Hong's registered address, led by the deputy director of the police station, they went to a village called Yuxiashui on the outskirts of Shaping Town.

Yin Hong's hometown is in the village. The real Yin Hong died of illness at Danbei Coal Mine. Her body was unclaimed, and the local police station was unaware of the circumstances of her death.

Later, with Yuan Dajun's help, Zhang Chen borrowed her identity.

The deputy director's surname was Lin. It was only after Yang Jinwen's arrival that Deputy Director Lin learned that the real Yin Hong had passed away several years ago. Upon checking the household registration, he found that her household registration was still valid and had not been cancelled. Furthermore, in 96, "Yin Hong" had even returned to apply for an ID card.

This is identity theft. Although such things are common, it is understandable given the oversight in the work. Information technology is too backward, and household registration management is handled separately by different departments, making it difficult to exchange information.

The real Yin Hong's parents had passed away long ago, and she had an older brother who was already married.

When Yang Jinwen found this person, the other party told him that he did not know that his sister had passed away, and that the two were not close and had never been in contact.

However, he said that in the summer of 96, a very beautiful woman appeared in front of his house and looked around for a long time before leaving. Yang Jinwen showed him a photo of Zhang Chen, and the man nodded, admitting that it was indeed the woman.

Yang Jinwen asked him if he had seen her in the past six months, and the other party shook his head.

The case has reached this point, and the leads have run dry.

Whether 'Yin Hong,' also known as Zhang Chen, is in Jiangcheng remains a mystery.

Back at the guesthouse, Maozi said, "Captain Yang, this Zhang Chen was trafficked to Gaowa Township. Could she have gone back to her hometown?"

Cai Ting replied, "We don't need to worry about that. The Deyang Criminal Investigation Detachment is investigating in this direction. When we left, Captain Duan Yi had already led a team to Zijiang City. They found that Zhang Chen's hometown is very likely there."

Yang Jinwen waved his hand: "Everyone is tired after running around all day, let's rest first."

"Should we continue the investigation?" Yao Weihua asked.

"Let's talk tomorrow."

"Row."

The next day, after dawn, Yao Weihua and Maozi got up and found that Yang Jinwen was missing. They went downstairs to the guesthouse to look, but he was not there either, and they didn't know where he had gone.

At this moment, Yang Jinwen went to the police station again.

"Traders who resell ID cards?" Deputy Director Lin frowned. "We've been cracking down on this, arresting several groups of people, but we can't catch them all. These guys are very cunning."

Yang Jinwen said, "Let those who have been caught recognize their faces."

Deputy Director Lin asked, "Are you suspecting that this 'Yin Hong' bought a fake ID card in addition to applying for one when she came here in 96?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Alright then, I'll make the arrangements for you. These guys are all locked up in the detention center. I'll take you there."

Yang Jinwen waved his hand: "No need, you can just ask for me. I have other things to do."

"Okay, I'll contact you when I get the results."

Yang Jinwen thanked him and got up to leave.

Shaping Town has a population of nearly 100,000, with the majority of the population concentrated on the west side of the wharf.

On the western hillside, the layered residential buildings look quite magical, but the advantage is that you can overlook the Lingjiang River at any time.

Holding the photo of "Yin Hong" and a map of Shaping Town, Yang Jinwen started searching from the lowest residential area upwards, his target being the photo studio and the vegetable market.

You need to obtain a fake ID card and temporary residence permit, and you need to go to a photo studio to have your photos taken.

Moreover, if Yin Hong really lived in Shaping Town, she would definitely be seen at the vegetable market.

There are two vegetable markets in Shaping Town, as well as scattered stalls, so it takes a lot of effort to find them.

Yang Jinwen walked step by step, asking many people, but everyone he asked said they had never seen the woman in the photo.

Since 'Yin Hong' told the deaf-mute woman in the letter that she could come to Shaping Town in Jiangcheng if she wanted to find her, there must be a reason.

Yang Jinwen firmly believes that she is right here!
Time passed slowly, and Yang Jinwen had been walking all day without finding any clues.

At this moment, he sat on the long steps, looking at the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the river, and flocks of birds flew over the dock and towards the golden horizon.

After resting for a while, Yang Jinwen stood up and continued walking uphill. After passing through a lush park, he arrived at a small restaurant outside a residence.

He originally planned to give up and return to the guesthouse after dinner.

The case has been investigated to this point, which is enough.

He wasn't in the mood to continue the investigation.

Not every case can be solved successfully; many cold cases are left in the filing cabinets covered in dust.

Besides, with such a big case involving five lives, 'Yin Hong' is definitely not going to escape, but before arresting her, being able to let 'her' go free for a while would be something we can live with in our conscience.

However, as Yang Jinwen walked past the glass window of a hair salon, he suddenly stopped.

He saw a figure!
Inside the glass shop window, a short-haired woman wearing a floral shirt stood behind a chair, helping a female customer dry wash her hair.

She rubbed the customer's head with both hands, a slight smile on her face.

Her face, her every smile and frown, her eyes...

Yang Jinwen's pupils suddenly contracted; this woman was the one he was looking for.

She is Zhang Chen, and also 'Yin Hong'!
Yang Jinwen's usually calm heartbeat suddenly became as violent as a drumbeat...
