Chapter 200 "Gentleman" 1
"Tell me, what's going on here?"
The two of them got in the car, and Qing Yanrou asked her while fastening her seat belt.
"It's a case that happened over 20 years ago. My master was in charge of the case at the time, and the murderer hasn't been found yet."
"My master is also seriously ill. The doctor says he doesn't have much time left. However, it's difficult to verify what happened twenty years ago. I have no idea what to do."
"So I'd like to ask for your help. I want my master to see the murderer brought to justice, so that he has no regrets and can give an explanation to the victim's family as soon as possible."
Jian Mo spoke in a hoarse voice. His master was unable to give an explanation to the victim's family because of this incident. He was exhausted all day long. Now he was lying in the hospital ward and was still thinking about solving the case.
He only hated his limited ability and that he couldn't help him fulfill his wish quickly, so when he saw her in Yanshan, she could tell with such certainty who the dead were.
The other two older Xuanmen people were also very respectful to her. They thought she must be very capable and might be able to find the real culprit this time.
"Twenty years ago? The soul might have been reincarnated, otherwise it would have been faster."
Hearing that he was talking about twenty years ago, Qing Yanrou frowned slightly, but she decided to wait and see, maybe he hasn't been reincarnated yet.
"OK."
——
Under the surprised gazes of the other team members, Jian Mo took Qing Yanrou directly to his office.
'Bang--'
"These are the case files. However, you can only view them in my office and are not allowed to take photos. I hope you understand."
He put a pile of files on her desk and said to her.
Qing Yanrou nodded to show her understanding, then sat on a chair beside her to look at the files.
The things on Yanshan had not been dealt with yet, and he didn't have time to stay here with her to review the files, so he could only close the door and go out to continue his work.
"Captain, you actually invited this big guy here?"
The person who was questioning was the police officer who had gone to Yanshan with them yesterday. He was very surprised to see Qing Yanrouzhen appear here. He was worthy of being his captain.
He often dealt with special departments and Taoist people, and of course he also knew the abbot of Ziyun Temple.
He usually looks high and mighty, but he was still very timid in front of this big guy yesterday.
Now that the captain has invited people, does that mean the case will be solved soon?
"What are you thinking about? Have the names of those corpses matched? Hurry up and get going."
Jian Mo looked at him, distracted in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking about, and kept grinning foolishly. He knocked on his forehead and said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Covering his forehead that hurt from being hit, he quickly ran over and continued to work.
In the office, Qing Yanrou was flipping through the thick file. The more she read, the deeper her frown became.
This was a case of a woman being raped and murdered. The reason why the murderer has not been brought to justice until now is mainly because there was no surveillance and no witnesses in that era. The body of the deceased was not found until a year later.
By that time, the body had completely decayed and the evidence of the crime left by the murderer had almost disappeared.
This is indeed a difficult problem for ordinary criminal police, which is one of the reasons why Jian Mo's master has spent nearly twenty years on this case and still has not found the murderer.
However, even with this kind of calculation, Qing Yanrou was still not sure and still needed to go to the victim's home to check.
Thinking of this, she opened the door and walked out.
"Hey, Qingdao, where are you going, classmate Qing?"
When Jian Mo saw her come out, he quickly stepped forward and asked, but because they were in the bureau, he quickly changed his address.
"I'm going to the victim's house. You go do your thing and don't worry about me. I'll call you when there's progress."
Seeing that they were so busy, she had no intention of letting him go with her.
"Do you know the address? Is that okay?"
Jian Mo really wanted to take her to solve the case first, but he really couldn't spare the manpower here.
"I've made a note of it in the file. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Jian Mo glanced at her back, and finally could only pin his hopes on her, then turned around and continued to work.
The address written on the file was in an old residential complex not far from the police station, and the victim's family did not originally live there.
However, the victim, Chen Jiajia, was the only child in the family. After she was humiliated and murdered, her originally happy family was shattered. In order to find the murderer, her parents sold their house and rented a house in this dilapidated community.
The purpose was to spend more money and effort on finding the murderer, but twenty years have passed and there is still no news about the murderer.
Qing Yanrou looked at the old security door in front of her, raised her hand and knocked gently.
'Knock knock knock—'
She knocked for a long time but there was no response. Just when she was about to knock again, another resident behind her opened the door.
"Stop knocking. Mr. and Mrs. Chen are not home. What do you want from them?"
An old lady who looked to be in her sixties or seventies waved to her, signaling her to stop knocking on the door as it was too noisy.
"Then do you know where they went?" Qing Yanrou looked at her seriously and asked.
"Where else could they go? They went to the place where they found their daughter."
"Hey, little girl, why are you looking for them? They have lost all their family savings and have no money to buy insurance."
Qing Yanrou said goodbye to her after receiving the message. She didn't care that she was mistaken for an insurance salesperson. She smiled and left.
"Old Chen's family, life is so hard—"
When the old man saw her leave, he went back home, closed the door, and sighed.
Qing Yanrou, who had very good hearing, paused after hearing this, and then continued to use her mobile phone navigation to walk towards the place where Chen Jiajia's body was found as mentioned in the file.
The place where Chen Jiajia's body was buried was a piece of land in the city. It had not been developed at that time. It was only when it was bought and developed that her body was unearthed a year later.
She glanced at the distance on the navigation and finally decided to take a taxi.
As soon as she got off the bus, she saw an elderly couple sitting on the steps at the edge of the square and eating boxed lunches.
They were wearing washed white clothes and were sitting on the stone steps eating their boxed lunches under the sun as it gradually rose higher in the afternoon.
She intuitively felt that it was Mr. and Mrs. Chen.
She walked towards them slowly and noticed with her sharp eyes that the lunch boxes in their hands only contained white rice and a little pickled mustard greens, which they ate mixed together.
"Hello, I'm from the Dao Sect and have been asked by Officer Jian from the Criminal Police Brigade to investigate your daughter's case. Can I talk to you?"
She sat down on the stone steps next to them and asked them directly.
The two people who were eating paused, and Old Mrs. Chen glanced at her husband.
Old man Chen took a piece of pickled mustard greens from his lunch box and put it into his wife's bowl. Then he said to Qing Yanrou with a cold expression:
"We don't have money, so we won't perform rituals."
Neither of them looked at her the entire time.
