I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

Chapter 445 - 267: Irregular Bank Transactions

He Wenqiu quickly went and returned. With the cooperation of the Yungui Police, they smoothly completed the task.

Bringing back the DNA biological material from Tian Lifen’s mother, he immediately sent it to the lab. Once the result was out, they would be able to confirm the source of the body.

But they were almost certain that the deceased was Tian Lifen.

The wait for the result was tense. Even with the expedited processing, it took four hours to confirm the result.

Qi Liyan came to the guidance group with the comparison result: "Good news, we got a match, the deceased is Tian Lifen."

"Captain Li is awesome." Upon hearing that they indeed had a match, Zhou Jian exclaimed.

He is now a die-hard fan of Li Xiang. Not just him, anyone who has witnessed Li Xiang’s skills is captivated by his charisma.

"Captain Li is indeed awesome. The facial recognition system he optimized is a hundred times more efficient than before. I want to introduce this software to my former unit; our director will surely be pleased."

"Don’t rush. Since Captain Li has developed it, how far can the promotion be? You forget, our unit is now using the cranial restoration software, which was also developed by Captain Li."

"True, everyone needs to be patient. Our top priority is to finish the case that Captain Li assigned to us. Let him see we aren’t rookies; he optimized the facial recognition system for us, and if we still can’t crack the case, I’d be too ashamed to stay in the guidance group."

"Haha, me too. Let’s start the investigation, everyone divide into teams. Who’s going to Tian Lifen’s school?"

Qi Liyan, holding all the information, was responsible for temporary command in Li Xiang’s absence.

"I’ll team up with Zou Ping and go to the school." He Wenqiu took on the task of investigating at the school.

"Zhou Jian, check the records of Tian Lifen’s bank card and phone card."

"Alright, leave it to me." Zhou Jian nodded and agreed.

This is his forte; there’s no one better suited for it.

"Everyone else, wait for news from Zhou Jian and He Wenqiu. Once we find Tian Lifen’s social network, we’ll immediately expand the investigation. We need to quickly establish potential suspects."

With the body identified, the next step is to investigate the murder motive, identify suspicious suspects, and then launch an investigation. Once we have a lead, it will be manageable.

Following leads has always been the police’s specialty.

Qi Liyan initially thought the first to bring news would be He Wenqiu, as he went to the deceased’s school and should find many clues about the deceased. Surprisingly, it wasn’t, the first with leads was Zhou Jian.

In Tian Lifen’s file, he found the company where she worked, called Guangshun Trading Co., Ltd., where she had a month’s social security.

"Zuo Yilong, you and Lan Huina take a trip to Guangshun Trading."

"Okay, it’s not a bother."

After this team set off, Zhou Jian discovered another lead.

He obtained Tian Lifen’s bank statement from the bank and noticed some irregularities.

"Take a look at this statement from the bank—every month there is a thousand yuan transfer into Lan Huina’s bank account, lasting for four years."

"What? Really?"

"In January and August, transfers of eight thousand yuan each were made. Could this be a scholarship fund from a benefactor?"

This amount fits the description of a sponsorship grant for a student.

Tian Lifen was a girl from the mountains, raised by her grandparents. Attending university was clearly not possible on her grandparents’ income, so having this sponsorship seemed reasonable.

"No, something is still odd. Look, the last transfer was made exactly one month before Tian Lifen’s incident. After something happened to her, further transfers were unnecessary."

Suddenly, Song Yingwen had a thought, considering the deceased’s time of death aligns astonishingly with the last month of the transfer; could there be an issue here?

"Are you hinting that the person who sponsored her might have a problem? That they killed her?" Sun Zhidong asked in shock upon hearing this. Isn’t that unnecessary?

They sponsored her for four years.

"That seems unlikely. Remember, Tian Lifen had already graduated from college. It’s normal for the sponsor to stop after she started working."

"Oh, right, I didn’t see it that way at first."

Listening to Qi Liyan’s explanation, Song Yingwen realized it made sense.

"But regardless, we should contact this mysterious benefactor. After all, they sponsored Tian Lifen for four years and may not even know that she died. They might think she’s just ungrateful and vanished after being supported for four years. For a kind person, that’s a devastating blow."

"Yes, we should find the benefactor."

Hearing everyone’s suggestion, Zhou Jian nodded. They indeed needed to track this person down. At the very least, they had to inform them that Tian Lifen was not ungrateful. She disappeared for ten years because she was murdered.

Zhou Jian contacted the bank again, asking for help identifying the account holder of the transfers.

The bank was very cooperative. Shortly after, the person’s information was sent over.

"The account holder is named Jiao Changrong, 68 years old, also an Yuncheng resident, living in Tianhe District."

"Also from Yuncheng? Did Tian Lifen come to Yuncheng to seek him out?"

Tian Lifen attended college in a second-tier city nearby. Yuncheng is small, without a good university, but after graduation, she chose to come to Yuncheng, clearly linked to this benefactor.
