The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 373

With the right communication method, Jie Chou and his colleagues finally asked for the information.

The suspect was instructed by someone, and was a habitual offender who had been constantly breaking into houses.

Precisely because he was a habitual offender, his skills were very professional. He actually knew how to avoid all surveillance and security personnel's sights, just like the target lived upstairs and downstairs.

Coming downstairs from upstairs in the middle of the night made people unable to guard against it!

Not to mention old residential areas, even high-end residences with one household per floor could not prevent this. The emergency stairwells could be used to break into any household in the building.

The person who instructed him had no fixed contact information. He would directly appear, write down the target and task on paper, and then leave.

The money would be given in cash afterwards, never transferred.

According to the suspect's description, the person who instructed him was a fat man named Er Gui, around forty years old.

Er Gui still had a lot of people. The suspect had cooperated with another person before.

To be honest, Jie Chou was a little disappointed with this result.

The whole case seemed to have nothing to do with Tan Shen at all!

But he believed in his police intuition, so he didn't leave after getting off work at night, and stayed at the unit to wait for his colleagues in the technology department. He even ordered takeout for colleagues who worked overnight.

Just to get first-hand information!

And there really was something!

And a lot!

Especially the tablet. Chen Yaoyao's brother Xiao Chen had used it before, and it contained a lot of clues about Tan Shen's crimes.

And this was just the preliminary screening result. There was already something.

Who knows how many more untold secrets were in the parts that hadn't been screened yet.

After seeing the series of videos and photos on the tablet, Jie Chou acted quickly, and connected with the local police in Science City.

Arrest Tan Shen immediately!

But when the police cars arrived at the set of the "Star Love" drama, Tan Shen was already gone from Science City!

When the message came back, Jie Chou banged his fist on the table in anger.

He knew this Tan Shen must have big problems!

But he never imagined Tan Shen's problem would be so big, even involving a missing persons case from many years ago!

Although the clues were not direct evidence, through the clues, colleagues quickly found relevant cases.

The deputy director came forward in person with a file bag: "Is this the place? Send someone to search!"

Jie Chou: "Yes!"

This was a missing persons case from ten years ago, a mother and son.

The related clues were found in a video and a photo on the tablet. The video was Xiao Chen's unintentional filming of a scene in Tan Shen's home. An old photo was on the table.

The photo showed three people, very much like a mother and two sons.

Tan Shen was standing on the far left, a middle-aged woman holding a child in her arms.

The woman and child in the video and photo were the missing mother and child in the missing persons case!

The woman was named Wang Guxue, born in 1974. The child in her arms was her child born late in life, with great difficulty.

At that time, the disappearance was reported by Wang Guxue's husband Zhang Feng. Nothing about knowing Tan Shen was mentioned.

What exactly was Tan Shen’s story? How did he appear in this photo?

Combining Wang Guxue’s age and fancifully similar appearance, Jie Chou thought it was very possible that Tan Shen was Wang Guxue’s son! Her eldest son!

The next clue was a photo showing a vegetable field in the suburbs, with Tan Shen smiling at a pumpkin on the ground.

The photo was geotagged when taken, which also showed the specific address of this vegetable field after being restored.

And according to the information on the mother and son missing persons case from ten years ago, this was where they went missing!

The decade old case was uncovered again, and even the deputy director was very surprised.

At the same time, many people keenly realized that behind the connected clues was a terrifying criminal!

A group of people acted separately. Some contacted the husband who reported the case that year, while others rushed to the vegetable field in the suburbs to find it.

Jie Chou was busy running around at the police station, using the internal police network to check Tan Shen's current specific location.

The result was disappointing again!

Tan Shen had already taken an international flight to the United States yesterday.

Jie Chou almost wanted to curse: "This guy runs so fast!"

Deputy Director: "Hmph! After the case is finished, we can release the news and let Chinese Americans provide clues and information, with rewards. Then cooperate with Interpol to catch him! What about abroad? We will still go abroad to catch him!"

Jie Chou: "Deputy Director! Send me!"

Deputy Director: "No, you stay here. I'm still counting on you to take over from me in the future."

Jie Chou: "I'd still prefer to take over from the Director."

Deputy Director: "..."

In the afternoon, colleagues who went out messaged to request forensics.

They found the bodies!

The mother and son from ten years ago were buried deep in the pumpkin field.

It had already been ten years, so there was no way to find out the cause of death back then. The mother and son were wrapped in a black sealed bag, and the bodies had long rotted into a pile of bones.

But through forensic and current high-tech means, the identification result was that these two were the missing mother and son from back then.

At this time, the husband Zhang Feng was brought to the police station for questioning. Jie Chou asked him personally.

Jie Chou: "Hello Mr. Zhang Feng."

Zhang Feng looked very old, his temples were full of white hair, and he was a little nervous looking at the policeman in front of him, his hands kept trembling.

Jie Chou sighed: "I'm very sorry that it's been ten years before we were able to find your loved ones and child..."

Zhang Feng cried on the spot: "Are they still alive?"

Jie Chou: "I'm sorry."

Zhang Feng lowered his head. He had expected this result.

How could good people who suddenly disappeared for ten years still be alive? They must be dead!

Jie Chou slowly explained, telling the whole story straightforwardly.

After Zhang Feng's emotions calmed down, he began to answer questions.

Jie Chou: "I'd like to ask, did your wife have a previous marriage before marrying you?"

Zhang Feng: "Yes, she was widowed at the time."

Jie Chou: "How many children did she have?"

Zhang Feng: "We only had one child!"

Jie Chou's eyes flashed: "Do you know someone named Tan Shen?"

Zhang Feng shook his head: "I don't know."

Jie Chou: "Is it possible your wife gave birth to a child before?"

Zhang Feng shook his head again: "It shouldn't be possible right?"

Jie Chou understood that things were too complicated.

Jie Chou: "Did your wife have any other relatives?"

Zhang Feng: "Yes, she still has a sister in her hometown."

Jie Chou took note, asked for the address and phone number. It seemed they still needed to go to Wang Guxue's hometown to investigate.
