Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 12 Arrest! Chen Dong and Chen Hua!
Chen Changchun didn't know.

At least, with no one arrested so far, no police officer knows any information about him!

"Delay brings change."

"Bring both parties to justice as soon as possible!"

Chen Changchun gathered his scattered thoughts, took a deep breath, and became very serious.

Where is Chen Hua right now?

Liu Jin shook his head.

"I don't know. Four years ago, the other party only left the address of Chenjia Village and then took the body away."

"At the same time, the other party did not purchase a house after the demolition, nor did they update their ID documents."

These days, there are no cameras, and not many people have cell phones.

If you can't find the people around your target, trying to find someone to come out is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

but.
"Someone knows."

Xu Liang said something pointedly.

Does anyone know?

Who?
Before anyone could ask, Xu Liang turned his head and looked at another part of the funeral home.

That's the freezer where the deceased Chen Wei was hidden!

"Chen Wei knows!"

Did Chen Wei know?

How could he know?

Furthermore, since the person is dead, even if they knew, they couldn't possibly tell the police.
Everyone frowned, deep in thought.

Until Chen Changchun suddenly froze, his eyes lighting up.

You mean...

Xu Liang nodded.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jin was initially taken aback, but then suddenly understood.

When only Wang Chao was left, his face remained expressionless for a long time.

The final line:

"What do you mean?"

Chen Wei knows where the murderer is currently living.

How did you know?
We returned to the scene a second time!

The murderer returned to the scene twice after killing Chen Wei!
What can we tell from this?
It was clear that the other party was terrified when they killed Chen Wei, so they fled. But when they returned to the scene a second time, their fear had subsided considerably.

So the question is, where can we dispel the feeling of panic?
A place that gives you a sense of security and helps you fight off panic!

for example.

When we were kids, after everyone got into a fight and cried, the one we cried for was 'Mom,' and we felt safe as soon as our parents came.

Similarly, after an accidental homicide, most people panic and rush home, only feeling somewhat relieved once they arrive.

The same applies to cases!

The time between the victim's death and the perpetrator's return to the scene was only one hour!
In other words, the murderer only took this much time to go home after killing the person and then return to the crime scene.

There were no tire tracks around the crime scene; how far could one walk in an hour?

"Chen Hua's residential address, if I'm not mistaken..."

"Within a seven-kilometer radius of the crime scene!"

“Surveying a radius of 14 kilometers is no small undertaking, but the crime scene itself is also a source of information.”

"The crime scene was located in a garbage alley, and the two parties were standing near a garbage bin when the conflict occurred."

"If the murderer didn't deliberately ambush us, what could they be doing here?"

Only two things happen in a trash can.

Throwing away trash, and picking up trash.

There are also two types of people who collect trash: sanitation workers and...
Scavenger!
At the scene, there were signs that the trash cans had been rummaged through!
"In this way, the information is compressed into the scavengers within a seven-kilometer radius, which is still very difficult to investigate."

"However, there is one place that every scavenger who picks up trash cannot avoid."

"That's the junk recycling station!"

June 4th, 8:00 AM.

Xu Liang and his group arrived at a small garbage recycling station in Hongfu Street.

This is a small bungalow. The collected waste is neatly arranged on the ground, with plastic sheets and metal scraps piled up like mountains.

It looks very sloppy, but this thing makes a lot of money.

Yes, collecting recyclables may not sound good, but that doesn't mean you can't make money!

But Chen Changchun couldn't care less about making money right now. He calmed himself down, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock~!"

There was a knock on the tin door, and as the door opened slightly, a person slowly emerged from inside.

The other person was stunned when he saw a group of police officers standing there, and then cautiously spoke.

"Who are you looking for?"

The scrap yard owner had dark skin, was rather thin, and was wearing a t-shirt; he was probably around forty years old.

Chen Changchun took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Don't be nervous, the police are here to ask you about someone."

"This man may have sold scrap metal to you before. His name is Chen Hua, and he has a son named Chen Dong."

As he spoke, he began to draw with his hand.

"Chen Hua is forty years old, Chen Dong is nineteen years old, and they are about this tall."

"Do you have any impression?"

The boss scratched his head, looking confused.

Chen Changchun thought for a moment, then said, "The two of them probably often ask you to sell them things. Think about it carefully." Often sell them?
The boss pondered for a long time, then suddenly his brow relaxed.

"Is it the father and son who scavenge for trash on that piece of land to the south?"

Scavengers and beggars have designated territories.

That's right, even beggars have their own territory. You can't just pick up trash anywhere. If someone finds out, you'll get a beating at best, and at worst, you'll be beaten to death on the spot!

Not only that, but thieves, robbers, scalpers, and so on are also included.

“I’ve hauled scrap metal from his house before, I think it’s in the South Ring area, the one at the very end of South Ring Alley.”

The boss said honestly.

Get the answer.

Chen Changchun and Xu Liang exchanged a glance, then turned and hurriedly walked outside.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. If there are any further leads, the police may contact you again," Liu Jin quickly added.

Then they hurriedly followed Chen Changchun and Xu Liang.

"boarding!"

Chen Changchun urged.

Seeing Liu Jin get into the back seat, the driver stepped on the gas.

"Buzz!"

The engine roared to life, and the four tires slammed into the ground!

"Boom~!"

The police car sped off toward a certain location.

South Ring Road is located in the south of Hongfu Subdistrict, Hongfu District.

This place is near the edge of the city and is poorly developed. There are not many residential areas, and every household lives in a cement house, which is similar to the countryside.

One of the alleys is called South Ring Alley.

The alley is deep and mostly inhabited by elderly people, with very few young people.

Normally, there would be no strangers or any noise throughout the day.

But today.
"Da da da~"

There were waves of footsteps.

Several elderly men and women sat by the roadside, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, watching the crowd walk deeper into the alley with puzzled expressions on their faces, whispering among themselves.

a long time.

Chen Changchun, Xu Liang, and the others stopped in their tracks.

Before them lay the deepest part of the alley, a dilapidated, drafty, makeshift iron shed.

Is this a "house"?

Looking at the simple house in front of him, Chen Changchun quickly put aside his thoughts and gave a look to the people around him.

Liu Jin understood immediately. He and the others leaned against the side of the door, ready to subdue anyone who came out.

Seeing this, Chen Changchun raised his hand and placed it on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

The metal door made a deafening noise.

No one answered.

Not long after, Chen Changchun knocked on the door again.

"Dong dong dong~!"

The knock on the door sounded again.

This time, there was an echo from inside the house.

"Da da da"

The sound of light, pattering footsteps filled the air, and everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.

next moment.

"Squeak~"

The iron gate was pulled open, and through the gap...
A man who was 1.7 meters tall, with a blank expression and was extremely thin appeared.

The other person had a youthful appearance, but just standing together, one could sense a gloomy aura emanating from them. At this moment, they were staring intently at everyone.

This person is...
Chen Dong!?
The son of the target suspect, Chen Hua!?
Chen Changchun's gaze sharpened, and he quickly scanned the room.

Unfortunately, not only did they not see Chen Hua, but they didn't even see the shadow of the second person.

"Where's your father?"

Chen Changchun asked the question, his gaze falling on Chen Dong.

Chen Dong didn't speak; he just subconsciously looked at Chen Changchun. No, that's not right.

It was behind everyone!

Chen Changchun was startled and turned his head sharply to look.

But see.

A middle-aged man, who walked with an awkward gait, was unkempt, and had grime in his hair. He was carrying groceries and standing behind everyone.

When the man saw Chen Changchun's gaze fall on him, he did not hesitate at all.

He turned and ran!
This is Chen Hua!?
Chen Changchun couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. Seeing the other party running away, he panicked and shouted loudly.

"Wang Chao!"

At the end of the alley, in that narrow passage, a mountain of flesh covered in muscles suddenly appeared, and plainclothes officers emerged from several other places as well.

"Master!" Wang Chao shouted and rushed over.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hua's face contorted with rage, and he turned and ran down the side path.

"catch him!"
