I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 105 Xiao Yu's Thoughts

The reason why old cases are difficult to investigate is mainly because they cannot go to the scene in person. All the information comes from archival records, and they can only analyze and judge based on the existing information.

Su Xiaoxiao believes that the police who handled the case before were wrong because the third case, Jiang Minmin's case, may have misled them.

The man Jiang Minmin saw might not be the perpetrator.

The victims of the first two cases, including Jiang Minmin, were knocked unconscious before the crime was committed. Fearing that they would wake up and move around, the criminals tied their hands behind their heads. Fearing that they would scream, they sealed their mouths with tape.

As for the two people that Jiang Minmin saw, the man pushed the woman against the wall. He neither knocked her out nor tied her up nor gagged her. Su Xiaoxiao felt that they were more like a couple who were secretly dating.

Jiang Minmin's original words in the case file were: "I hit the man with a stone. The man turned to look at me. I was terrified and turned and ran. When I turned the corner, someone knocked me out from behind. I didn't know anything."

In other words, she didn't even see the person who knocked her out, but she was sure in her heart that it was that man.

So the question is, if it was really the man who did it, what about the other girl? Would he let go of the girl and chase after the other one?

The girl had close contact with him and could clearly recognize his appearance. Wasn't he afraid that the girl would run away and report him?

If the girl was killed by him to silence her, no girl was killed during the same period.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that the couple was more likely a couple who just wanted to find a place where there was no one to be intimate, but Jiang Minmin thought they were bad people.

Twenty-one years ago, society was not so open. If they were really a couple and were discovered being intimate, their first reaction should have been to run away in shame, rather than chasing after the person who saw them to settle the score.

Therefore, the man who knocked Jiang Minmin unconscious from behind was not the man she saw.

In these three cases, the criminal only violated the victims and did not kill them. One reason was that he did not want to kill anyone, and the other was that he handled the matter cleanly enough so that no one would find out who did it.

If it was really the man Jiang Minmin saw, she might have lost her life for safety reasons.

Qi Lei handed this case over to Su Xiaoxiao, Xiao Yu and Li Yan, and did not arrange for the old team members to follow.

First, he wanted to give them some good training; second, Su Xiaoxiao had a talent for handling cases, better than many veteran team members; third, the veteran team members who had handled many cases already had a fixed thinking pattern, and were not as active in thinking as the newcomers, and did not dare to break the routine.

This is the reason why they say a random punch can kill a master.

Anyway, this has been an unsolved case for many years, and even if the case cannot be solved, it will not be blamed on them.

In fact, all three of them were a little excited. It was the first time for them to take charge of a case, especially Xiao Yu, who had never really followed a case from beginning to end.

On the first day, the three people were dizzy from reading the case files. When it was time to get off work, Xiao Yu said he would take them out for dinner so that they could discuss ideas at the same time.

Seeing Xiao Yu's excitement, Su Xiaoxiao did not refuse. After all, no matter how much she wanted to solve the case quickly, she still had to eat, and it would take time to find a breakthrough in such an old case.

"Where are you taking us to eat?" Li Yan asked.

"Don't worry about it, you'll know when you get there." Xiao Yu looked very proud, "It's guaranteed to be delicious. I've already made a reservation, so you can eat there. I'm telling you, even though this is a small restaurant, most people can't make a reservation, the owner is amazing."

"Well, if it doesn't taste good, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Li Yan waved his fist.

After parking the car, Xiao Yu took them to a small alley on the back street. Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the small restaurant in front with a sign of Song Ji Beef Offal and asked Xiao Yu: "You are not taking us to this Song Ji Beef Offal, are you?"

"This is it." Xiao Yu looked surprised. "How did you know? Have you been here before?"

Su Xiaoxiao had really been here, and it was Xiangnan who brought her here.

"Have you been to a place like this?" Li Yan was also a little surprised.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and didn't explain further.

Entering the beef offal restaurant, Uncle Song was standing in front of a small stove where beef offal was stewed. There were ten small stoves lined up in a row. Uncle Song was holding a bamboo fan in his hand and had an apron tied around his waist, carefully watching over the charcoal fire in the stove.

Su Xiaoxiao found out last time that Uncle Song never uses natural gas or coal gas when cooking beef offal. He uses charcoal fire, saying that only food cooked in this way will have a smoky flavor and taste better.

Uncle Song saw them come in and greeted them with a smile. He was also very familiar with Xiao Yu and called him by his name directly.

"Lingling, why are you here alone? Your grandfather hasn't been here for a long time?"

"Uncle Song, I've told you so many times, don't call me Lingling, just call me Xiaoyu."

Xiao Yu's name is Yu Lingling. He doesn't like it at all and thinks it sounds like a girl's. But his grandfather won't let him change it, so he has no choice. He never says his own name outside and always asks others to call him Xiao Yu.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know his full name at first, but she was so happy when she found out that she even called him Lingling for two days as a prank.

Uncle Song saw Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Hey, aren't you Xiaoxiao? Why didn't you come with Xiangnan today, but with Lingling instead?"

"Uncle Song, we are colleagues with Xiao Yu."

"Coworker, that's great. You guys go in first. The beef offal will be ready in a while."

Xiao Yu originally wanted to book the innermost compartment, but it had already been booked when he called, so he booked the one next to it.

The door of the innermost compartment was open. This was the compartment where Xiangnan sat when he brought Su Xiaoxiao here last time.

In fact, each room is similar. The room is not big, but very comfortable.

When Li Yan walked by, he glanced into the room. His steps stopped involuntarily and his face turned ugly.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Su Xiaoxiao, who was following behind, didn't understand. Seeing that she looked unhappy, she followed her gaze and looked inside.

Wow, there were four people inside, two of them were acquaintances, one was Xiang Nan and the other was Chen Nansheng. There was a girl sitting next to each of these two prodigal sons. I don’t know what Xiang Nan said, but the girl next to him was laughing so hard that she covered her mouth and leaned against Xiang Nan.

For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao felt her hands itchy. What was going on? She wanted to beat someone up.

At this moment, the people in the cubicle seemed to sense something, and Xiang Nan and Chen Nansheng both looked up towards the door.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Li Yan into the next room and closed the door.

Li Yan sat down angrily. Su Xiaoxiao knew that there was some relationship between her and Chen Nansheng, so she was naturally unhappy when she saw him with another girl.

She had no interest in Xiangnan and felt a little unhappy when she saw him with a girl, let alone Li Yan, who she was somewhat interested in.

In order to divert Li Yan's attention, Su Xiaoxiao wanted everyone to talk about the case.

When Xiao Yu heard that they were going to talk about the case, he became excited. He actually had some ideas today.
