Chapter 788: Suspicion
Ran Jing turned around and carried the dining table and wooden chair into another elevator, heading to the police station.
The forensic identification departnt was still working overti, performing analyses on evidence submitted by various departnts.
They were all grateful when they saw Ran Jing carry a dining table and a chair out from the car.
“Chief Ran, you are so kind to us! You ca over with a table and chair for us to rest on, knowing that we are working overti. I feel that my shift is worth it!”
Ran Jing was speechless.
“Who is free? Help analyze whether these two handprints are from the sa person, I need so professional to help ,” Ran Jing said to the people present.
The leader gave the word, and since she was one of the most beautiful won working in the police force, they were definitely going to try to impress her.
Imdiately there were three people around the dining table and chair, with their arms across their chests or hands on their chins in deep thought.
After a long ti, a man broke the silence. “This looks like a man’s hand!”
Ran Jing rolled her eyes at him. “Which woman can leave a dent mark like this with a slap? Don’t give nonsense, I’m not here to test your naked eye deductions. Hurry up and analyze it with equipnt. This is urgent, I’ll give you twenty minutes.”
The three n began a variety of asurents to the millitre, from depth to width, to ensure that any fingerprints left on the chair were extracted.
The guy who got the fingerprints then directly input it into the public security system to investigate who it belonged to.
The results required executive permission to view.
Ran Jing knew that Mr. Fang was from Yanjing, and it was normal for his file to be classified and require permission, so she did not suspect anything at first.
“Check Xu Cheng’s file and compare it with this man’s fingerprints.”
The technician nodded, and then did a search on Xu Cheng.
It turned out that there were more than a thousand people with this na nationwide.
“Limit the filter to Shangcheng,” Ran Jing said.
The technician changed the search range and then said, “There are three people with the na Xu Cheng within the Shangcheng area. Chief, have a look at which one is the Xu Cheng you are looking for.”
He listed out the information of the three Xu Chengs, and Ran Jing took a closer look but none was the Xu Cheng she knew.
That’s not right, could it be that he is not a Shangcheng citizen so I can’t find him?
She checked the character to see if there was a typo.
The result was correct, and there were indeed only three Xu Chengs within the boundaries of Shangcheng, but none of them were the Xu Cheng she was looking for.
“Go back to the previous results. Look for it within the country, and show all of their photos. I’ll identify based on the look.”
The technician nodded and scrolled down the page with thousands of photos of n nad Xu Cheng in the country, as Ran Jing looked carefully.
Five minutes later, the mouse scrolled to the end, and she did not see Xu Cheng’s photo.
“Continue,” Ran Jing said.
The technician gave a bitter laugh.
“We’re already at the bottom, Chief Ran. You’ve already looked at everyone nad ‘Xu Cheng’ in the country. You still can’t find him?”
“Impossible!” Ran Jing was surprised. “It is impossible that his information disappeared from the system!”
The technician: “Chief Ran, did you get the wrong na? Or is it the gender? How about I look for Xu Cheng in won’s nas for you?”
Ran Jing almost choked on air as she glared at him. “Even the transgender people in Thailand would still have their original gender listed. Even if this person undergoes the surgery, he wouldn’t be listed in the ‘won’ section.”
She frowned wondering why Xu Cheng’s file was gone.
“Could it be that the na was changed?” Ran Jing said thoughtfully.
The technician: “The na change can also be found with the original na, it is all recorded.”
“Then that’s strange, could it be that Xu Cheng’s na is not his real na?” Ran Jing thought of sothing and ran out.
She went to the police recruitnt unit and headed straight to file records looking for Xu Cheng’s resu.
She couldn’t find it anywhere.
Ran Jing’s entire body froze.
“Xu Cheng’s file and resu disappeared?” Ran Jing felt that Xu Cheng was not as simple as she thought.
She returned to the forensic identification departnt and asked the technician, “Do you know why a person’s file will just suddenly disappear?”
The technician said, “Unless they eliminate their household registration, it will not disappear for no reason. As long as they are still a citizen, even if they are dead, they would be filed into the list of deceased people. There’s no reason to erase it, no one has the right because it’s against the law!”
Ran Jing: “Then search in the deceased list for Xu Cheng’s file again.”
The technician nodded.
He listed the new photos, and Ran Jing still couldn’t find Xu Cheng’s picture after looking.
She was puzzled.
“I know this person, and now his file is gone, but I am sure that he will not have his household registration eliminated.”
The technician: “Then there’s only one possibility.”
Ran Jing: “Tell .”
The technician: “His file level was probably upgraded. For example, that fingerprint we extracted is under higher level protection so we need more permission to gain access. Otherwise, we have no right to see.”
Ran Jing: “But just looking up his na doesn’t seem like it needed permission. If the security clearance has been upgraded, we should still be able to see that he has a file, even if we won’t be able to access it.”
The technician: “There is also another possibility.”
Ran Jing: “What?”
The technician: “He got a na change. When I said the original na remains on the file, that is just for the ordinary files. Assuming you changed your na and then the file was upgraded to confidential, then the original na would also beco confidential and cannot be found anywhere.”
Ran Jing’s brain suddenly cleared up.
That was when one of the three forensic identification officers, who was quite efficient, said, “Chief Ran, I have sixty percent certainty that the two handprints are a match from the sa person.”
The other two were not convinced. “What basis do you have? These two palm prints are obviously not made at the sa ti, and there’s a deviation in the size as well.”
The officer was affirmative as he said, “There is indeed deviation, because people can’t always maintain that sa figure. A change of body weight within a week could cause the fingers or palm size to increase or decrease. However, I determined it based on the palm prints that these two belong to the sa man!”
Ran Jing quickly asked, “How so? How are you so sure?”
He replied, “People’s palm prints are more or less the sa, but they are very different at the sa ti. They need to be looked at very carefully to see the difference. Every martial arts practitioner will have calluses and these calluses will be different for everyone. With my observation, these two calluses marks aren’t much different! But what makes most certain is that both palm prints have calluses marks that belong to gun users, and of course, that’s why I said I’m only 60% sure.”
Ran Jing narrowed her eyes.
