Chapter 4
Jiang Aichen glanced at the time on the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already half an hour past the end of get off work time.
Since he had been forced to work overtime anyway, he didn't mind working a little longer.
He asked, “Anything else you want to ask?”
"I have it," Li Tang quickly flipped through his notes and muttered, "Captain Jiang, I never said that the reporter said the deceased cleaned the house the night before his death. How do you know this?"
Jiang Aichen did not hide the source of his information: "She told Lin Anyu."
As soon as they heard the name Lin Anyu, the expressions of everyone at the scene instantly became varied.
Lin Anyu has a good temper and is the recognized mascot of the Beihai Criminal Police Team. Although his scores were at the bottom in all aspects, his professional ethics scores were high compared to those of the criminal police.
During each regular assessment of professional ethics, Lin Anyu always gives the most standard answers in the entire police force.
Even Jiang Aichen's grades were never higher than hers.
On weekdays, she directly applies the professional ethics standards of a police officer to the extreme, being kind and gentle, as if she doesn't have any temper at all.
Ask her for a favor, like getting some water or making coffee, and she will do it immediately without any complaints.
In the entire Beihai Branch, except Jiang Aichen, everyone else quite likes this "little errand boy" who can't solve cases but is hardworking.
Especially Meng Qirang. Since Lin Anyu was transferred to Beihai, she has had a very good relationship with Lin Anyu and is a well-known good friend in the Beihai Criminal Police Team.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere in the conference room had eased a little, Meng Qirang quickly gave Jiang Nan a secret signal.
Jiang Nan looked back at her calmly, then turned his face away as if he hadn't seen her.
She just knew that men were unreliable!
Meng Qirang broke free from the serious mood of the case. Her expression changed, she clapped her hands, and said with a dry laugh: "Oh, she really deserves to be the number one female detective in Zecheng. Even if she has lost her memory, her ability to grasp details is still top-notch. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have found so many clues."
After saying that, Meng Qirang did not forget to give a look to Tang Jianyue who was beside him.
Tang Jianyue immediately agreed and said, "That's right, no wonder Sister Anyu is the ace detective of the Zecheng Police Force. This ability to find problems cannot be acquired through practice. What is talent? This is talent!"
"That's right, Captain Jiang. You send this criminal investigation genius to the traffic police team every day," Meng Qirang said. "It's a waste of talent. Chunchun is just wasting the Sherlock Holmes that God has given to our police team."
I don’t know whether he was persuaded by Meng Qirang or Jiang Aichen suddenly remembered that Lin Anyu could be used as a laborer.
He ordered expressionlessly, "Meng Qirang, when Lin Anyu returns from the traffic police team this afternoon, ask her to go to the communications department and retrieve a copy of the deceased's call records as soon as possible. Also, compile the personal information of all the people who recently spoke to the deceased into a document and print it all out before the next meeting."
Meng Qirang happily agreed: "Yes."
Jiang Aichen packed up his things and stood up: "The victims of these three cases did not know each other, and their social circles did not overlap, but I always feel that there must be some connection between these three cases. When you investigate the Tang Shuang case, you must pay attention to any clues that may be connected to the other two cases."
"Also," Jiang Aichen said, changing the subject, "If there is still no useful clue in one day, everyone should report to the traffic police team."
"yes."
There was powerlessness all around.
The young criminal police officers all whispered back, "It's the traffic police again, Captain Jiang, can't we go somewhere else?"
"Oh my god, who would want to go to the traffic police station to bask in the sun on such a hot day?"
Jiang Aichen obviously heard it. He put away the information, walked out, and said without looking back: "If you don't want to go to the traffic police team, just resign. The criminal police team doesn't want to keep idle people."
Coincidentally, just as he walked to the door, a woman holding a plate broke open the door of the conference room.
As he walked, he shouted, "Coffee is coming, coffee is coming!"
Perhaps because the impact was too strong, the five or six cups of coffee on the plate staggered a few times with her body.
Seeing that it was about to spill, Jiang Aichen, who had just walked to the door, quickly grabbed a cup of coffee.
The coffee swayed indiscriminately from side to side and spilled steadily onto his jacket the moment he fixed the cup.
“…”
Everyone was stunned.
Meng Qi recognized the person and slowly recovered from his stunned state. Then, with an expression that said "this guy is hopeless", he gently held his forehead with his hand.
Everyone in the Beihai Criminal Police Team knew how much Jiang Aichen loved cleanliness.
Although I can't be considered a mysophobia, spilling coffee on his clothes and making him look so miserable is a big taboo.
Although Lin Anyu did not look up when she walked in with coffee, she could clearly feel that there was a not-so-kind gaze above her head.
She froze, looked up and chuckled a little embarrassedly: "Captain Jiang, I have to go out. It's so early, the... traffic police team is off duty, it was Captain Wang who asked me to come back."
Jiang Aichen glanced at her sharply, with displeasure: "The Criminal Police Team invited you here to deliver coffee?!"
Jiang Aichen was a whole head taller than Lin Anyu, and his stern reprimand at this moment was like putting a loudspeaker next to her ear.
Lin Anyu was so frightened that he shivered.
She quickly raised her head and explained: "I..."
"The criminal police team doesn't need trash, go to the traffic police team tomorrow!" Jiang Aichen said without allowing any doubt.
Lin Anyu protested weakly: "I just came back from the traffic police team."
"Then go again."
Lin Anyu retorted in a very small voice: "Still going."
Jiang Aichen, who was very sharp-eared, replied instantly: "If you don't want to go, just write a letter of resignation and I will sign it immediately."
"If you want to go, you must complete the task." Lin Anyu said seriously.
"Um."
Upon seeing this, other members of the police station around began to discuss the situation unscrupulously.
"Pfft, this little mascot is really in a hurry, and showed up when Captain Jiang was at his most irritable."
"Captain Jiang had just agreed to let her participate in the case, but now he's doing this again."
"Captain Jiang has been deeply offended by our police force's little mascot."
"Hush, if the big devil hears you, you might be transferred to the traffic police team too."
After finally waiting for Jiang Aichen, who was splashed with coffee, to walk out of the conference room, Meng Qirang hurried forward and took the coffee from Lin Anyu's hand: "An An, why are you here again when we are having a meeting? Don't you know that the big devil in this room will automatically upgrade to the ultimate big devil?"
"well."
Lin Anyu didn't want to come at first, but when she thought about the fact that she had been at the Beihai Branch for three years and had not taken a single serious case, but had directed a lot of traffic and issued a lot of tickets, she felt very disappointed.
If this continues, she will feel like she has actually entered the traffic police team.
Now, she finally came across a case and she really wanted to get involved.
Although she had long forgotten how to solve the case, the throbbing in her heart when encountering a case could not be faked.
Suddenly, a policeman sitting in the lecture hall asked, "Lin Anyu, I heard that you were a very good criminal policeman in the past."
Lin Anyu nodded a little unconfidently: "Well, probably."
The police officer then said, "Come and see if there is any connection between the three cases posted above."
"Ah? Me?" Lin Anyu pointed at himself.
"Yes," the policeman said again, "don't go into it, just follow your intuition."
Lin Anyu looked a little embarrassed.
Since she lost her memory, not only did she forget all the knowledge about solving crimes that she learned in school, but her sensitivity to the case also decreased.
For example, last month, when she was punished by Jiang Aichen to be on duty at the police station, she met an old lady who said that there was a thief in her house.
She said that all her money was not lost, but she lost a jade bracelet that she had worn for many years, and asked her to help find it.
Lin Anyu checked all the surveillance cameras nearby, investigated all the residents in the community where the old lady lived, and stayed up all night for two days but found nothing. Finally, she had to ask Jiang Aichen for help.
In the end, it only took Jiang Aichen an hour to find the bracelet in the crack of the old lady's bed...
Now she has difficulty finding things, let alone solving a major murder case.
"I...can't do that." Lin Anyu said hesitantly.
Meng Qirang also wanted Lin Anyu to get more exposure to cases, so she comforted him, "It's okay, Anyu. The big devil is not here. Just speak as much as you want. They won't dare to complain."
"Okay." Lin Anyu agreed.
Lin Anyu walked forward and stopped in front of the white board covered with photos and names.
Looking at it carefully.
There are many names written on the board, and the relationships between the characters involved are responsible.
But they are all independent clusters, and the three small clusters of characters are independent groups, without any connecting lines between them.
However, Lin Anyu's attention did not seem to be on these complicated names and relationships.
Her eyes moved back and forth between the photos of the three dead people on the whiteboard.
After a long time, she slowly spoke.
With hesitation and lukewarmness, he said, "The two have similar facial shapes. The one on the right... has a slightly protruding nose..."
Placed here, it seems like a kind of harmony has been broken.
"She must have had plastic surgery." Lin Anyu said, pointing at the third deceased, Tang Shuang, on the whiteboard.
As soon as she finished her words, a burst of laughter rang out around her.
Lin Anyu, who was immersed in her own world, was awakened instantly. She looked back blankly, and suddenly realized what she had said. She smiled awkwardly: "I was just talking nonsense."
"We asked you to find the flaws in the case, but you ended up studying other people's appearances."
"Hahaha, Captain Jiang asked us to find conditions for merging the cases. We searched for a long time but couldn't find them. But our police mascot found them at a glance."
"Hahaha, you said we tell Captain Jiang that the similarity between these three cases is because these three people have the same face shape. Will Captain Jiang help us buy a row of cemeteries overnight?"
"Go ahead and tell me if Captain Jiang will beat you to death."
"I dare not, I dare not."
Several detectives were talking to each other and having a great time.
Jiang Nan was no exception. He walked up to Meng Qirang at some point, put his arm on her shoulders, and laughed so hard that his waist couldn't straighten up: "Hahaha, I think the mascot of our police station should not be a criminal police officer, but a face reader on the street."
