The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 233 - 162: Found the Hideout

Li Jian slightly adjusted the gun in his hand.

Wan also turned his head and said, "Don’t be afraid, the police are handling the case!"

As he passed by Li Jian, Li Jian said, "Wan, you go down first and find a locksmith."

Wan put away the gun, looking sowhat helpless.

"Mr. Li, I’m not familiar with this place. I’ll go outside to look first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man beside them said in a low voice, "I know there’s a locksmith store in the alley nearby."

Li Jian and Wan instantly turned their heads towards him.

Wan was instantly delighted.

"Thank you! You’re helping the police solve the case."

Li Jian glanced at the plastic shopping bag in the man’s hand and said calmly, "Deliver these groceries ho first, then please show us the way."

"No worries, officers. I’ll show you the way. Solving the case is more important."

Upon hearing this, Wan said, "Captain, see how harmonious our Jiangcheng’s police-civilian relationship is. Even a passerby is so enthusiastic."

Li Jian smiled, "Thanks, brother."

Imdiately, Wan and the man turned and left.

Just as the two were walking down the 3rd-floor corner, Li Jian’s phone rang.

He took out the phone, the caller ID showed "Zhang Yean!"

"I’m on a mission; quickly tell what’s up."

On the phone, Zhang Yean said excitedly, "Mr. Li, I’ve identified the female deceased."

"You’ve identified her?"

Li Jian was montarily stunned; he didn’t expect this young female officer to be able to identify the female deceased.

"How did you find out?"

On the other end, Zhang Yean was thrilled.

"Captain, I searched through the Little Treasure Hocoming website, and I found that three years ago, Li Lan used this site to search for her biological father’s relatives."

"Father’s relatives?"

"Mr. Li, just as Jiang An analyzed, Chen Minghao had an identical twin brother, and the man’s photo on Little Treasure Hocoming looks very much like Chen Minghao."

"Moreover, the applicant was his daughter Li Lan, whose appearance in the photos matches perfectly with the images reconstructed from Jiang An’s cranial fragnts."

Li Jian thought for a long ti upon hearing this.

"It indeed aligns completely with Jiang An’s deductions."

"Yes, the female deceased’s age and appearance match perfectly."

"Great! Well done!"

Lastly, Zhang Yean asked, "Mr. Li, where are you now?"

Li Jian glanced at the sign above the door.

"I’m now at the entrance of Li Lan’s house."

At this mont, in the criminal investigation team office.

Chen He and Li Jian stared at the roster for a long ti.

Chen He said, "When you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense."

"If this person was really going back to the countryside to buy gasoline, he could easily purchase it at many nearby gas stations.

Why did he go to the city center?

Then, Chen He took out a map and marked the gasoline purchase location.

"This gas station is very close to Minghao Clothing Factory."

After a while, Chen He said, "This person is highly suspicious."

Chen He imdiately dialed Li Jian’s number.

"Mr. Li!"

"How is it going?"

"Jiang An and I found that red car in the underground parking lot."

"Any important discoveries?"

"Yes! We found many stolen luxury cigarette and liquor packaging shells inside the car, and they are of different brands."

"We suspect the car owner is likely a habitual thief."

"A habitual thief?"

Li Jian was instantly dumbfounded.

Just as Li Jian was full of surprise, Chen He continued, "Just now, Jiang An re-reviewed the entire gasoline purchase list and found one person very suspicious."

"Who?"

"Zhong Shuang."

Suddenly, Li Jian’s mind buzzed.

He glanced at the iron door, recalling the words of the property managent lady, "This young couple is called Li Lan, Zhong Shuang."

How coincidental is that?

Then, Li Jian asked, "Are you saying Zhong Shuang is suspicious?"

"Mr. Li! Yes, we investigated Zhong Shuang’s personal information."

"Found he has several theft priors, and the purpose for purchasing gasoline the day before yesterday seems a bit unreal."

"Key point, the amount of gasoline he purchased was much more than others."

Suddenly, Li Jian’s heart started racing.

He suddenly felt, "Maybe it’s just as Jiang An suggested."

After a long period, Li Jian said, "You guys quickly co to West Mountain District, we’re at Zhong Shuang’s door."

Chen He’s phone had the speaker on.

The two of them heard the previous sentence distinctly.

They looked at each other in disbelief.

Just as Chen He wanted to ask more questions, the beeping sound of the call disconnecting ca from the phone.

anwhile.

Wan, under the guidance of the young man, walked into a nearby alley.

"I’ve heard the ’Mr. Liu Unlock’ up ahead has great skills."

"Thank you! This twisty path, I couldn’t have found it without you showing the way."

"I’m honored to help you."

A mont later, the young man asked, "Officer, are you investigating a case?"

"Yes!"

"I live upstairs from them; I sotis run into them both. They seem so friendly, how could they commit a cri?"

Wan smacked his lips and said, "Never judge a book by its cover; you can’t see from the surface."

After walking for 5 more minutes, the two finally arrived at Mr. Liu’s locksmith shop.

Standing at the shop entrance, Wan said, "Thank you!"

The young man slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No problem, just a small favor!"

"I’ve got to go to the market to buy so seasoning for cooking fish, so I won’t accompany you!"

Wan said, "Thank you, you go ahead and take care!"

minutes later, Wan and the locksmith arrived at the door of Building 4, Apartnt 3, Unit 1.

The locksmith looked around and asked, "Which one of you is the tenant? Please sign this form."

"No!"

Mr. Liu raised his eyebrows.

"You’re not the tenant, then why have unlock?"

Mr. Liu was full of impatience, as if thinking they were joking.

Just as he was about to turn away, Wan pulled out his police badge from his pants pocket.

"Can this work?"

Mr. Liu took a glance and quickly said, "It works! It works!"

He then bent down to pick up his tools, ready to unlock.

At this mont.

Chen He and Jiang An ca running up, panting.

"You two are pretty quick!"

Li Jian said.

"Mr. Li, we drove quickly over after hanging up."

Li Jian pointed with his lips, "They both live here!"

Chen He asked, "Should we wait and catch them?"

Li Jian nodded, "I just told the master to preserve the lock cylinder structure, not to damage it."

"After opening the door, we’ll go in first and have a look, without moving anything to keep it intact."

Within less than a minute, the iron door made a "creak" sound.

Mr. Liu had opened the door.

Wan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Liu, your skills are quite high."

"However, you’ll be a key focus of ours."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu quickly waved his hands and said, "I’m a legitimate locksmith; I don’t do anything illegal."

"If you weren’t police today, I wouldn’t have unlocked the door."

Li Jian gestured to Wan with his lips, "Enough! Pay him, so we can proceed with the business."

Wan asked, "How much?"

"Officers, don’t worry about the money; I’m honored to help solve the case."

"According to market price, or else they’ll say we’re using privileges."

After a brief pause, Mr. Liu said, "120 yuan."

Wan was a bit surprised but quickly pulled out 120 yuan from his pants pocket.

"Here!"

"Thank you!"

Mr. Liu took the money and imdiately left with his toolkit.

Afterwards, Wan asked, "Mr. Li, can we claim back 120 yuan?"

Li Jian turned and said, "Once the case is solved today, you’ll get 240 yuan."

"I’ll personally reward you an extra 120 yuan."

Then, Li Jian, Chen He, Jiang An, and Wan walked in one behind the other.
