Detective: I can see the criminal record

Chapter 18 The Most Likely Suspect

Sun Xiaoyu's case was more complicated than Cen Lian had initially imagined in many ways.

He soon realized that he had underestimated the criminal police team in the district. What he could think of had already been investigated when the case was still a current case. However, according to various records at the time, all roads were blocked.

Although he was not sure what the criminal police who investigated the case at the time overlooked, he was sure that it was not something he could think of with his brain alone.

Cen Lian began to watch the surveillance video of the entire hospital at three times the speed.

This workload was quite large, and he did not find anything until the evening.

Fortunately, the people in the third squadron were busy with the follow-up work of the previous case in the past few days. Except for a burglary case, there were no cases assigned to them for the time being.

The burglary case was handled by Qi Yan and Wang Yuanteng.

The robbers' methods were not very clever. Not only did they leave a lot of DNA and fingerprint information at the crime scene, but they even left a few hairs.

As a released prisoner, his home address with detailed house numbers was quickly found.

In just three days, the case was transferred to the procuratorate.

Cen Lian also made a new discovery at this time.

He found the person he was looking for in the surveillance footage of Sun Xiaoyu the day before her death.

The moment the text bubble appeared, he finally relaxed.

Fortunately, no matter how cautious this person was, he was still captured by the camera.

It was just that the location where he was photographed was really hard to be suspected - he was photographed in the outpatient hall, which was separated from the inpatient building by a building.

In the vast crowd of people in the outpatient hall, even the most perceptive criminal police could not notice a middle-aged man who flashed by without a plug-in.

He did not appear in the inpatient building from beginning to end, nor did he appear in the patient list for the three days before and after.

Cen Lian decomposed the two-second video of his face into frames and began to process the clarity on the computer.

The clarity of the hospital's camera was pretty good, and Cen Lian's own image enhancement technology was barely enough, so when the picture was processed, the picture could only barely see the facial features.

However, at this level, the minimum requirements for face recognition have been met.

Although he already knew who this person was from the criminal record, he needed to explain to others how he identified who this person was from a blurry surveillance photo.

He couldn't just say that he figured it out with a few fingers.

Cen Lian, who felt that he was gradually becoming a charlatan, looked at the information from the face recognition and directly clicked on the household registration information of one of the people according to the name.

[Name: Lin Xiangyuan]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 36 years old]

[Criminal record: Killed Sun Xiaoyu in Kang'an City 2386 days ago]

[Prison record: None]

This is the text bubble that Cen Lian saw in the surveillance video.

All the information can match Lin Xiangyuan's household registration information.

Six years ago, this Lin Xiangyuan should have been only 30 years old. Why did he kill Sun Xiaoyu?

Cen Lian looked through Lin Xiangyuan's household registration information and found that he was married.

He instinctively thought about the direction of love killing, but quickly denied this possibility.

After Sun Xiaoyu's death, the police investigated her chat records on various platforms. It was impossible to ignore an ex-boyfriend who had appeared in the hospital surveillance.

It is even possible that this person did not exist in her address book at all.

Qi Yan had been observing Cen Lian from a distance, watching him do image enhancement, and then watching him compare a household registration information in the face recognition database.

When Cen Lian showed a thoughtful expression, he walked over silently.

"Have you found a clue?" he asked softly.

Cen Lian looked at Lin Xiangyuan's household registration information in front of him.

"When I scanned the surveillance, I felt that this person was very wrong, so I looked for him first." Cen Lian was used to using the sixth sense.

Although Qi Yan was still puzzled by Cen Lian's intuition, his reason told him that it would not be wrong to choose to believe.

So he looked at Lin Xiangyuan's information and fell into deep thought.

Based on his experience, this person was indeed not suspicious.

"If it's just suspicion without evidence, it will be difficult for us to conduct investigation and evidence collection." Qi Yan began to frown.

"I'll look for surveillance videos." Cen Lian thought for a moment and found surveillance videos of the area where Sun Xiaoyu appeared within the fifteen days before her death.

These surveillance videos are relatively small in scope, and they should have been used to confirm whether Sun Xiaoyu had any conflicts with others before her death.

Qi Yan took the initiative to help him watch the surveillance videos.

Tang Hua and Wang Yuanteng came back from work and saw the two watching the surveillance videos. After asking about the cause and effect, they also started to help.

The three of them checked the surveillance videos day by day under their blind trust in Cen Lian. In the end, it was Tang Hua who shouted and freed everyone from their drowsiness.

"I found him!" Tang Hua almost jumped up from his office chair.

Cen Lian immediately became excited and stood up and came to Tang Hua's desk.

In the enlarged surveillance video, a familiar face appeared in front of the two.

"It's really him," Cen Lian enlarged the surveillance video, "How many days before the incident was this?"

"Four days ago, I took a look. That day, Sun Xiaoyu should have been helping her classmates in the gynecology department." Tang Hua had the case file on his hand.

"Who is this girl who is talking to Sun Xiaoyu? Do they seem to know each other?" Wang Yuanteng and Qi Yan have already appeared behind the two of them without making a sound.

Cen Lian looked at the girl. She had no criminal record, which meant that she had no connection with Sun Xiaoyu's death, at least on the legal level.

Qi Yan and Tang Hua were already looking through the files for the investigation of Sun Xiaoyu's social relationships.

"Her name is Tian Wenwen, and she is Sun Xiaoyu's high school classmate." Qi Yan quickly confirmed the identity of the woman who was talking to Sun Xiaoyu.

"This Lin Xiangyuan and Tian Wenwen are husband and wife." Cen Lian also found what he wanted to know.

The four looked at each other and knew very well that this Lin Xiangyuan was indeed worth investigating.

"Let's report to Team Tan first." Cen Lian felt it necessary to conduct additional investigations on Lin Xiangyuan.

A middle-aged man who had direct contact with Sun Xiaoyu a few days before her death and appeared in the hospital outpatient hall on the day of her death is the person with the highest degree of suspicion in this case so far.

Yuan Chenxi had been listening to their movements, and when she confirmed that they did have some clues to reopen the case, she finally stood up and walked over.

"You continue your investigation, and I will help you write the report." She came over and took a look at the case files in the hands of several people and the surveillance video on the computer screen, "I also believe in your intuition."

Cen Lian felt that he was not far from becoming a charlatan in the police world.
