Chapter 541: Search

"If the girlfriend is dead, then the boyfriend must have killed her."

"If it's a secret boyfriend, the probability of murder doubles."

"Is the case over? Didn't the previous special task force find it?"

"The previous special task force did not take the No. 2 victim as the main attack direction. Furthermore, the victim's best friend back then was not sure about this news either. Out of consideration for her reputation, she didn't say it."

"Then is it true?"

"The victim has a little cousin who also saw the victim putting on makeup and tidying up, and then saw her holding hands with a man outside."

Reports from all aspects were constantly gathered, especially the victim's best friend and young relatives, who gave answers that were not quite the same as 20 years ago.

Immediately after, the individual households in the market where the victim was located also gave some unusual reports one after another.

"I wasn't sure back then, and I was warned by her family, so it wasn't easy to say. If Liu Limin worked after eight o'clock in the evening, someone would often come to pick her up. Sometimes her brother would pick her up, and sometimes it was another man. She said it once, saying it was a friend of her eldest brother."

"Her eldest brother said when he came to the market to tidy up things, that his sister hadn't married yet, so let everyone keep their mouths shut, and that's how it was. We didn't know the specific situation."

"Liu Limin's business was doing okay. She smiled at everyone. There were customers who introduced her to objects, but she didn't agree, saying she didn't need it, probably that meaning, can't remember clearly."

When the police officers sent by the special task force started asking out along the line of "boyfriend," many people's answers seemed a bit unexpected.

The 20-year time has changed many things, emptied many people's memories, and emptied many people's shackles. At this time now, whether Liu Limin has a boyfriend, whether she is a yellow flower girl, is no longer a problem. The individual households who left the market back then, no matter whether they are doing well or badly now, no longer worry about the problems of neighbors and colleagues, and when they speak, they have no more scruples.

Xu Tai-ning synthesized the materials at hand, quickly changed the inquiry strategy, and readjusted the direction and scope of the inquiry.

Soon, all the classmate relationships of the victim Liu Limin were included in the inquiry.

As with the previous situation, Liu Limin's former classmates might have lived and worked in Huo City, but 20 years have passed. Now, less than half of her classmates remain in Huo City, and the rest can be said to be scattered all over the world, and even settled abroad.

Xu Tai-ning still sent people to inquire as much as possible. The travel expenses were paid by the Huo City Bureau.

"The most obvious clue now is Liu Limin's boyfriend. The two of them did a good job of keeping secrets. Including Liu Limin's parents and eldest brother, no one knows the specific identity of her boyfriend, and they haven't even seen his face."

At the daily meeting, Xu Tai-ning took his notebook and introduced the situation to the members of the special task force.

The leaders listened with gritted teeth, not knowing whether it was heartache or headache.

Criminal police like Jiang Yuan who do things don't care about the funds, but they also frowned a bit. There is no clue from 20 years ago that is easy to follow.

"I have an idea now." Xu Tai-ning said a lot of difficulties, and then looked at Jiang Yuan, saying: "Liu Limin's parents have kept Liu Limin's relics very well. Although a part was taken away by the special task force, most of them were left behind. At most, they were turned messy, but Liu Limin's parents later re-classified them."

Xu Tai-ning asked Jiang Yuan: "Although it has been a long time, can we find the DNA of Liu Limin's boyfriend from it?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Xu Tai-ning for a while. To be honest, Xu Tai-ning's question was really terribly layman. He actually felt that on-site investigation could find useful DNA from a room that had been turned messy several times, thereby locking a specific person!

It's outrageous.

However, in front of Jiang Yuan, Xu Tai-ning's question was a bit of an insider.

Because Jiang Yuan really has a certain probability of finding the victim's boyfriend's DNA.

After all, 20 years is not a very long time for DNA. As long as you find the right place, there is a high probability of extracting it.

A large amount of interference is a big problem, but it is not completely unsolvable.

"I'll go take a look." Jiang Yuan neither made a guarantee nor said it was difficult.

After the meeting, Jiang Yuan took Mu Zhiyang to the victim's home, which is also her parents' home.

It takes about an hour to drive from Qingbai City to Huo City. If it were 20 years ago, it might have taken two or three hours. Thinking about changing such a long distance every time he threw a body, it was also quite difficult.

Liu Limin's house is located in the center of Huo City, with three bedrooms and one living room, a shrunk house of about 150 square meters, which was also a very good condition back then.

After meeting with three local police officers from Huo City downstairs, and knocking on the door to enter, Liu Limin's whole family was already waiting inside.

"Hello." Mu Zhiyang stepped forward to socialize and took the initiative to show his work ID to several people.

Jiang Yuan observed Liu Limin's parents and eldest brother. Her eldest brother is 50 years old, and her parents are 70 years old. Her father needs a crutch, her mother's actions are still agile, but her back is a bit hunched, and her voice is clear, but she choked up soon.

Twenty years of time have made many people forget Liu Limin's name, but in the eyes of her parents, time is just an extension of pain.

"I have kept Limin's things in her room. I will take you to see." Liu Limin's mother wiped a tear and stood up.

Jiang Yuan followed her to a south room next to her, pushed the door open, stopped the other party from entering, put on a mask and headgear himself, and asked: "Does anyone come into this room usually?"

"I will clean it up after a period of time, her father basically doesn't come in." Liu Limin's mother said.

Jiang Yuan's corners of his eyes wrinkled as he listened. Cleaning the victim's room regularly is okay. I don't know how many rounds of pollution the evidence found has been. If it can still be found, it can be considered evidence.

However, since he is here, he can't turn around and leave.

"You stand outside the door, we will check the room again." Even if it is polluted, the requirements that should be made must still be made.

Liu Limin's eldest brother came over to help his mother over, and he stood by to watch, a bit like hiring a worker to go home, and then standing by.

Jiang Yuan didn't care about him, and with Mu Zhiyang's assistance, he scanned the evidence bit by bit.

The three police officers from Huo City had two technicians, who came in to help, and soon appeared obedient.

Technicians from different places working together is a bit like strangers playing baseball together. Before the ball starts, everyone can judge the other party's strength based on height and body shape, and the appearance of muscles. But once the ball really starts, the other party's strength, and how it compares to their own, is basically clear.

Moreover, the common strength boundaries of players on the baseball field are not said to be fixed, but they are basically similar. There are indeed very strong ones, but they are only one or two levels stronger.

Like Jiang Yuan, who started at LV4 on-site investigation, and added a level today, it is equivalent to an NBA player breaking into the baseball field. He may not be a star player, but the posture of dunking at will, blocking shots within range, and passing two people in a turn, the shadows left to the baseball field enthusiasts will not dissipate for a long time.

Jiang Yuan scanned not fast or slow, but this bedroom is not big, plus the area of the bed and cabinet, soon there was nothing to scan.

Jiang Yuan sealed another evidence bag, stood up slowly to look around, and then asked Liu Limin's eldest brother standing at the door: "Has Liu Limin's boyfriend been to the house?"

"No. My sister has been independent since she was a child and doesn't like to tell her family about her affairs. We don't know about her talking about friends. We just vaguely guessed that there was such a thing. She is also 27, and the family is actually quite anxious, so we didn't interfere." Liu Limin's eldest brother said, and asked: "Do you suspect it was done by her boyfriend?"

"I don't know yet." Jiang Yuan denied it immediately.

The victim's family is very easy to use a magnifying glass to translate the police's words. Jiang Yuan is no longer a little newcomer, and has become cautious in this regard.

Liu Limin's eldest brother nodded suspiciously, his eyes turning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Yuan patrolled again, finally packed a few large bags of clothes, slowly retreated out of the room, closed the door directly and said: "Don't come in to clean up recently. If necessary, we will contact you again."

His idea, if Liu Limin had physical contact with her boyfriend, maybe hair and skin dander could remain on the clothes.

It is not easy to find in the bedroom, it is better to take it back to the laboratory and turn it over slowly under the cold light.

Liu Limin's eldest brother responded dully, and said with words: "Drink some tea, drink two sips of water, take a rest."

"Don't rest, we should go back, there are things to do." Jiang Yuan looked at the appearance of Liu Limin's eldest brother, and added: "Trouble you to point the way for us, I came up in a hurry, a bit don't remember the location of the parking."

"No problem." Liu Limin's eldest brother helped Jiang Yuan open the door busily.

Her parents stood in the living room, gazing at the backs of Jiang Yuan and others, unwilling to move for a long time.

Out of the door and downstairs, Jiang Yuan asked Liu Limin's eldest brother again: "Did you have anything you wanted to tell us just now?"

At the crime scene, Jiang Yuan's emotional intelligence also improved, mainly because he was willing to give attention to others.

Liu Limin's eldest brother hesitated for a while and said: "I just thought, my sister actually earned some money back then. Later, when I turned over the relics, the money in her bank card didn't have much left..."

"En?" Several police officers frowned and looked at Liu Limin's eldest brother.

"I don't want money." Liu Limin's eldest brother waved his hand and sighed again, saying: "Actually, how to say... for a period of time, my sister often didn't go home at night, saying she was tidying up goods in the market, and slept in the store. We didn't investigate deeply. Today you are looking for things, I just thought, would my sister take the money she earned and buy a house herself?"

"You didn't go to the Real Estate Bureau to check if your sister bought a house herself?" A police officer next to him asked.

"Checked, no. There is no name under her." The answer is also very clear.

Several police officers asked a series of questions on the spot, made a transcript for Liu Limin's eldest brother to sign, and then left.

Jiang Yuan returned to the laboratory to check those clothes and exhibits, and informed Liu Jinghui and others of the new news here.

Having new clues is better than nothing, except that it will cost more funds. ===== CHAPTER 542 =====

"Your sister bought a house herself; did you and your family not know?" a police officer nearby asked.

Liu Limin's older brother gave a bitter smile: "She was 27 years old. I had already started my own family and lived independently. If she earned money and secretly bought a house... 20 years ago, people used cash for everything. The money she earned would certainly have been enough to buy a place."

"Did you check with the Real Estate Bureau?" the officer pressed further.

"I checked, no. She didn't have anything under her name." The answer was very clear.

Several police officers asked a series of questions on the spot, made an on-site record, and had Liu Limin's older brother sign it before leaving.

Jiang Yuan returned to the laboratory to examine the clothing and evidence, and informed Liu Jinghui and the others of the new information obtained here.

Having new leads is always better than having none, even if it does cost more in expenses.
