The highest achievement of a community police officer is probably that when he sits in the community under his jurisdiction and inquires about news from old men and old ladies with a smile, he can get a basket of "legends" that are not sure whether they are true or false.
That's right, Cen Lian felt that what he heard could only be classified as legends for the time being. The first few familiar middle-aged aunts and old men told them with a nose and an eye. The few old people who came to join in the fun later had already told them. There is no logic.
By the time the last old lady finished speaking, he already had an idea.
A lot of information was extracted, and it is estimated that less than 20% of it is useful, but in their daily work, this is considered a time when the proportion of effective information is quite high.
At least he knows these few things now.
Gao Tong's household registration information shows that the divorce occurred twelve years ago, and the two have no children.
He seems to have a mistress.
Recently someone met a woman who came here to meet Gao Tong with her child who looked to be in high school.
Gao Tong sold the welfare house in his factory and bought this demolished and renovated house in the urban village, so there are no old colleagues of his here.
Putting these pieces of information together, anyone who knows a little bit about reasoning will focus on the woman who brought the child to see Gao Tong.
Combined with the previous information that he was suspected of having a mistress, it can be reasonably speculated that this woman may be Gao Tong's mistress, and based on the age of the child, it can be determined that he is an illegitimate child.
The possibility that the woman is Gao Tong's ex-wife can basically be ruled out.
Although he usually doesn't like to use his brain, Cen Lian still logically reasoned to this point.
Now some bold assumptions are needed.
He took out the worn black leather notebook he usually used to record community patrols from his pocket, and turned to the last page to start organizing his thoughts.
"The whereabouts of the money after the death of the cashier is still unknown. It is possible that the murderer transferred it to the pregnant mistress. Based on the approximate age of the child, it can be inferred that Gao Tong had not divorced his ex-wife at the time, so there is a possibility that the money was transferred to the mistress to raise the child. .”
"Next, surveillance should be called to confirm the woman's identity, and interviews should be conducted to investigate whether she received a huge amount of unexplained funds fifteen years ago."
"If I continue to investigate secretly, I won't be punished..."
Cen Lian stared at the last sentence for a while, then immediately crossed it out with a pen, pretending that he had never written anything.
When he returned to the office, he unexpectedly found that there were many people staying in the office area today.
"Is this to prepare for an inspection? So many people are squatting here to fill in information?" Cen Lian panicked.
He seriously doubted whether he had missed any important notices when he had been absentmindedly investigating Gao Tong these past few days.
"No," Tang Hua, who joined the police in the same year as him, answered naturally, "In the past few days, Mr. Chen and his people have destroyed an entire gang involved in gangs, and we are here to catch up on the process."
"No wonder I haven't seen Suo Chen recently." Cen Lian relaxed and took the initiative to take a stack of information from Tang Hua to help sort it out, "Why is he running the case himself?"
"Does Chen Institute still plan to move up?" Tang Hua lowered his voice, "But our institute is doing well this year. It's almost October, so it's good if we don't make mistakes. It's not easy to make some achievements."
Cen Lian quickly helped Tang Hua fill out some information. While he was sorting it out, Chen Xinrong, the director of Xinhe Police Station, also came back.
His eyes quickly swept across the office area and found that everyone was busy, so he went upstairs without saying a word.
"Can this 'gang-related' gang really be identified?" Cen Lian asked Tang Hua in a low voice, seeing that Chen Suo's expression was not good.
Tang Hua looked around and lowered his voice.
"I think it's difficult. Although there are a lot of people, the severity is quite bad."
Cen Lian was not surprised. After all, it was quite difficult to find a real "gang-related gang" in the jurisdiction of their police station.
"What have you been doing recently? I see that you have been staying in the jurisdiction all day and never come back." Tang Hua slowed down and chatted with Cen Lian. "Has the street office arrested you?"
"That's not true. Recently, people in the community have reported to me that something is wrong with someone. I will keep a close eye on it." Cen Lian did not dare to say that he was investigating the case, "But you also know that since the people in Chaoyang became famous, several communities in my jurisdiction have joined in the fun. People report to me once or twice a month that something is wrong.”
Tang Hua became a little more interested.
"What happened this time?" he asked.
"It is said that this man is mysterious and secretive. When someone knocks on the door in the community, he always pretends not to be there. But the neighbors also say that this man is always at home and just doesn't want to open the door." Cen Lian told the truth this time, "I don't think it's right either. It feels right, so I’ll follow you first.”
Tang Hua touched his chin.
"He looks like a drug addict, but he may just have a weird personality. It's almost the end of the year. If you can find a drug addict, the anti-drug gang will treat you to a good meal." He didn't take it seriously, and the community Well, the ones caught most are petty thefts and cats taking drugs at home.
Cen Lian thought to himself that if this matter could really be investigated, Chen might have to invite him to dinner.
The two of them fished for a while skillfully. Tang Hua was called to the detention center to go through the formalities, and Cen Lian continued to watch the surveillance that had just been called up.
After filtering based on time and location, he quickly found a woman with a child.
The woman looked to be in her forties, and the child looked like he had just entered high school. The two of them were photographed by the camera at the entrance of the Rookie Station in Building 15, and they were indeed heading towards Building 13.
It seems that this is indeed a breakthrough!
Holding the standard answer in his hand, Cen Lian found that the problem-solving process was omitted. Cen Lian immediately enlarged the woman's photo and opened the database with some anxiety to try to match it.
Theoretically speaking, his current behavior is a bit suicidal.
But the answer is right in front of us. No one can let a murderer go unpunished.
The computer buzzed harder and harder, and after a while it actually spit out a few matching faces.
Cen Lian silently thanked the owner of the rookie station for the high-definition surveillance installed, because it allowed him to find the woman's identity information effortlessly.
Yao Shuwen, female, 44 years old, unmarried.
I have an only son who is exactly 15 years old this year.
The mother and son's household registration and permanent residence are not in Kang'an City, but in Gaoping City in the neighboring province.
Cen Lian's excited expression collapsed again.
Great, his weekend is gone.
If the investigation turns out to be fruitless, and it is discovered that he secretly retrieved so much information, he may lose his job.
Although his reason told him that it was best not to continue the investigation alone.
But he still opened his mobile phone and booked a high-speed train to Gaoping City, even one that would leave tonight.
Cen Lian looked at the information on the computer and just hoped that this "plug-in" would not trick him.
