Unbelievable! The Blond Rookie Is the Chief Detective - Chapter 7

“Do you think it’s possible that Wang Chen doesn’t know Guan Hongwei, but Wang Jue? Let’s think about it. Wang Chen is thirty-five years old and still single. Could it be that he knows this Wang Jue and, like Guan Hongwei, was deceived by her?”

Therefore, after learning that Wang Jue was married and with another man, she secretly slipped a note to Guan Hongwei.

Ye Jiuzhou touched the newly grown stubble on his chin, and after Su Xiaoxiao’s reminder, his thoughts suddenly opened up.

“That’s right, that’s definitely a possibility. This case isn’t without clues, it’s just that there are too many leads.” Su Xiaoxiao continued her analysis, “Is there someone manipulating Guan Hongwei behind the murders, and what is their purpose in manipulating him to commit the murders?”

Someone has publicly revealed Wang Jue and Lin Yue’s fan identities. Is this an attempt to smear Gu Yang using the murder case, or is Guan Hongwei’s murder orchestrated by those spreading rumors? These questions need to be investigated. There’s too much to investigate; we can only use the process of elimination, ruling things out one by one.

There’s something else I’m not entirely sure about, and it’s hard to say whether it’s related to this case, but I should still investigate it; maybe it’s connected.” After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao decided to voice her guess.

“It’s alright, go ahead.” Through the analysis just now, Ye Jiuzhou’s impression of Su Xiaoxiao has changed somewhat; at least her observation skills are still very strong.

“When I was injured and went to the capital for treatment, I helped the capital’s criminal investigation team investigate a case of a missing girl. A female student went missing while hiking with some classmates. It was later discovered that she did not go missing, but came down the mountain on her own.”

She pretended to be a rich woman online and used this identity to date men, but the man was actually a conman who had seen through her identity. He then turned the tables on her by pretending to be a rich second-generation heir and deceiving her instead.

He had already fled when the police found him, and has not been caught to this day.

Wang Jue cheated Guan Hongwei and took his money, claiming it was to buy movie tickets for Gu Yang, but this claim is unfounded.

I didn’t know anything about fan circles before, but I made a special effort to learn about them because of this case.

When an idol has a movie released, fans will rush to buy pre-sale tickets in advance to secure more screenings for the movie. Later, they will also buy movie tickets to reserve screening slots in order to maintain their screenings. This is what is known as “filling the screening slots”.

However, filling in extra seats usually only happens when a movie’s box office is poor, but Gu Yang’s movie was one of the two blockbuster movies during the Spring Festival, with every screening sold out, so there was no need to fill in extra seats.

Under these circumstances, Wang Jue could no longer afford to spend money on movie tickets.

You checked Guan Hongwei’s account, and it’s true that Wang Jue withdrew money from his account in several installments, all in cash. Not only that, she also sold a house, and the money wasn’t in her account. So where did her money go?

I didn’t have much to say about this, but as Team Leader Jiang just said, this Ding Kun isn’t the real Ding Kun; someone is impersonating him.

That’s why I made the connection, because that conman in Beijing who pretended to be a rich second-generation had fooled more than one person.

His method of deception was to impersonate a wealthy second-generation heir who didn’t want to rely on his family and started his own business. He claimed to be facing difficulties in his business and needed money to overcome them. He didn’t want to go back to his parents for money because that would be tantamount to admitting defeat.

They believed his identity, weren’t worried about losing money, and thought the worst outcome would be business failure, which would be even better, as he could then go back to inherit the family business.

The scam is actually quite simple, but some women still fall for it, handing over their entire life savings just to forge a bond of shared hardship, hoping to later rise in status and wealth.

“So, you think this conman is the same person as the one in the capital?” Ye Jiuzhou asked in surprise. Could it be such a coincidence?!

“I’ve seen the surveillance footage. The person impersonating Ding Kun has a similar build and appearance to that person. He may have had plastic surgery.”

This swindler was very cunning, using fake identities and being extremely cautious in his actions. He erased all traces when he left, and the Beijing police spent a lot of effort to find only half a fingerprint.

We can send Ding Kun’s fingerprints over and let them compare them.

However, with only half a fingerprint, the feature points may not be enough, and whether a match can be made is still a question. Even if a match is made, it is difficult to convict him without other evidence.

However, it’s worth a try.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao really hoped that this person was the swindler. That swindler impersonated Xiang Nan and swaggered around, and they all suspected that someone was deliberately trying to smear Xiang Nan. Unfortunately, they didn’t catch him back then, and he never appeared again afterward. It’s very likely that he had plastic surgery and went into hiding.

Wutong City is a small third- or fourth-tier city, and its conditions in all aspects are not as good as those in big cities, including criminal investigation technology and methods. In fact, it is a good place to hide.

“Knowing what he looked like before, we should be able to match his real identity in the database, right? We couldn’t match it before, so we suspected he had plastic surgery,” Xia asked curiously.

“Nobody knows if his previous appearance was his original appearance. I believe the Beijing police have also done the comparison. You know, not everyone has a real identity. Have you ever heard of an insect?”

Xia shook his head. His internship was not over yet, and he usually just assisted other team members. There were some things he had never even heard of.

However, Ye Jiuzhou did know about insects.

“In the past, some criminal groups or wealthy families would adopt homeless or abandoned children. These children were unregistered, without real identities, and could not be found in the household registration system. After raising them, they would help them do shady things. These people were called ‘insects’ by them.”

Insects that cannot bear the light and can only live in darkness their entire lives.

This person impersonating Ding Kun is very likely a spy being kept by someone.

That’s right, Su Xiaoxiao thought so too. These insects don’t have real identities, but they can pretend to have countless identities. These people are actually very pitiful. They have to desperately prove their worth, otherwise they will be crushed to death like insects.

Therefore, if this person really is an insect, his purpose in coming to Wutong City would not be so simple.

However, he is now under police control, and we might be able to get some information out of him when he wakes up.

She will send the person’s fingerprints to Xiao Yu in a moment; they are in charge of this case.

The comparison of half a fingerprint requires experts, and a small city like Wutong does not have the necessary resources.

After the meeting, it was almost dawn. Ye Jiuzhou found that after Su Xiaoxiao’s analysis and judgment, their workload was even greater than before, because Su Xiaoxiao felt that things were not so simple and that the scope of the investigation needed to be expanded.

Jiang Qing suggested that some police officers could be transferred from local police stations, and that officers like Qin Guan, who had previously worked as criminal investigators, could be transferred in for emergency response.

Ye Jiuzhou nodded; this was the only option now.

Just then, news came back from Zhang Jun that Wang Chen had escaped.
