Chapter 2443: Chapter 2444: Major Discovery Chapter 2443: Chapter 2444: Major Discovery Ning Che’s reasoning abilities are top-notch; give her a start, and she can deduce the rest on her own.
“I thought of that point too.”
“So, our search area has significantly narrowed down,” Qiu Yuluo said:
“Check who died that year; there must be clues to find. If it didn’t involve death, those five wouldn’t have fled in panic.”
“I agree,” Ning Che said:
“If the victim didn’t die, they would surely have chosen to report to the police afterward. Those five wouldn’t have been able to evade the law for so many years.”
“It’s not just that simple,” Lin Yi said:
“Thirty years ago, China was quite chaotic, and the legal systems were incomplete. If soone disappeared, it was highly likely to be left unresolved, which is more secretive than killing sobody.”
“Right, right, right, you’re hitting the nail on the head,” Ning Che said:
“Look into the missing persons at that ti; finding clues from this angle might just pay off.”
“Okay, I’ll check it when I have ti,” Qiu Yuluo said, cracking sunflower seeds.
“I’ll go see Boss Liu and ask for leave tonight for them.”
“Wait a sec.”
Ning Che stopped Lin Yi, looking at Qiu Yuluo, “Are you coming along?”
“Ask for what leave?”
“He’s going to ask for leave for Team One’s people; let’s go too. Otherwise, Team Two and Team Three will talk behind our backs, poking at our spines,” Ning Che said.
“If you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have even thought of that,” said Qiu Yuluo in unison:
“If Team One is taking a leave, we shouldn’t fall behind; let’s inform Tao Cheng.”
“Let’s go.”
Soon, the four of them arrived at Liu Hong’s office and shared the idea of taking a leave.
But they only ntioned it symbolically and didn’t elaborate.
After all, there are rules for each group, and as a mber of the Central Guards Brigade, one must follow the rules.
With the four team leaders coming to plead, Liu Hong felt awkward to refuse.
He called Jiang Zhengnan to explain the situation, and the latter didn’t have any objections, approving imdiately.
Upon learning that the training had ended early, the people from the four teams cheered jubilantly.
As for the evening’s arrangents, it was up to the four team leaders to decide.
Lin Yi took Team One to a restaurant, letting them eat and drink heartily as a treat, which counted as a full al.
After the al, he then took them to a bathhouse and arranged a top-tier Big Treasure Sword session, concluding the evening’s activities.
The brief rest ended, and the next morning they started the devil-like training again.
anwhile, Lin Yi got busy with the real work, starting the investigation into Xiangyang Village’s case.
Qiu Yuluo accessed the records from the Central Guards Brigade and the military, intending to filter the suitable individuals and then eliminate them one by one.
Unfortunately, after a day’s ti, no suspicious persons were discovered.
Because none of these people’s household registrations were from Jindou Village.
“How’s the search going?”
Around 5 pm, Ning Che brought back three als from the cafeteria to Qiu Yuluo’s office.
“I’ve filtered these people’s records, but none really et the requirents. Around the ti the five left the village, no one in Yuanbao Town had deregistered their household, and there’s no record of anyone missing, not a single clue.”
“That’s strange,” Ning Che said, frowning:
“If it wasn’t to the degree of causing death, they shouldn’t have escaped in such a hurry, right?”
Ning Che’s question was also the question of Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo.
This matter can only be explained with death.
If it was just injuring or crippling soone, there would definitely be police reports afterwards, and they wouldn’t be able to escape.
But back in the day in Yuanbao Town, no one had died, nor had anyone disappeared, which was very odd.
“Hm?”
Just as the two were pondering, they suddenly heard Qiu Yuluo’s questioning voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s a rather strange case here.”
“About Yuanbao Town?”
Qiu Yuluo nodded and spoke to the computer:
“Back then, an employee sold a house in the town, which was later reported that the house wasn’t his.”
“How could he sell a house that wasn’t his?”
“In that era, as you know, the regulatory systems were not perfect. He used his connections to alter the land deed information, making it his own.”
“What about the original owner of the house?”
Qiu Yuluo shrugged, “Don’t know.”
“Disappeared!” Ning Che exclaid!
The three exchanged glances, reasoning that the scenario made perfect sense.
It’s undoubtedly foolish to brazenly take over soone else’s property.
Unless there’s more to it, otherwise, it’s as good as signing one’s death warrant!
If the original owner of the house disappeared and had no other relatives to inherit, carrying out such a plan then seems reasonable.
“Can we find that person from back then?”
“Wait a mont, I’ll look it up.”
Qiu Yuluo’s fingers clattered on the keyboard, and after about thirty-plus minutes, she exclaid with joy:
“Found him, this person’s na is Wang Shengxi, he was an official. He was sentenced to three years afterward, then he was dismissed. Luckily, he’s still alive, and should be in his sixties now.”
“Check his address, I will go have a look.”
“Don’t rush.”
Qiu Yuluo accessed the police internal household registration system to start searching for Wang Shengxi.
“The current address in the household registry is Yun Lu Mansion in Jinling City, Building 3, Unit 2, Apartnt 701.”
“Okay, I’ll go check it out. Continue looking into other details and call if anything cos up.”
“Why the rush? He’s right there and isn’t going anywhere.” Ning Che interjected:
“You still have an injury on your arm. Stay another night, get your dicine in the morning, and then go.”
Ning Che left no room for argunt, showing no intention of letting Lin Yi leave.
“The problem is that the case is very special, I’m afraid the criminal might get there before us.”
That was why Lin Yi was anxious. The last person, Li Hongzhu, died because he was a step too late.
Lin Yi did not want to see such a thing happen again.
“How could he possibly get there before us?” Ning Che gave Lin Yi a look,
“We’ve only just found this information, and besides, this is the Central Guards Brigade, does he dare to sneak in here?”
“Uh… you’re right.”
“Stay another night, we’ll talk tomorrow. I’ll book you a morning flight.”
“Alright.”
“Do you need to co help?” Ning Che asked.
“For sothing this trivial, there’s no need for you, I can handle it myself.”
“You still have an injury on your arm, be careful while working the case.”
“I know.”
“Can you two stop flaunting your affection in front of ?”
“Just to annoy you.” Ning Che looped his arm around Lin Yi’s, “Co on, let’s go for a walk, leave this single dog to work here.”
Saying so, Ning Che pulled Lin Yi out.
Before leaving the Central Guards Brigade, Lin Yi called over the mbers of his group during a break and said in a low voice:
“I know the training is tough, but with your current level, heading to Tilia Island is tantamount to seeking death, so no matter how hard it is, you’ve got to persevere.”
