The Provincial Department wanted to build an automated database system. Not only would it perfect the police information system, but it would also record all criminals and people with criminal records into the database.
If the database was built, it would greatly increase the speed and efficiency of the police system. However, this was a good thing, but the establishment of the database required a large number of professionals to organize and record the information.
At this stage, it was not easy to find professionals who knew how to operate the database. Moreover, the establishment of the database involved a large amount of confidential information. It was not easy to get local personnel to help. Under the recommendation of the Municipal Bureau Chief Hu, Zhou Li and the other military system graduate students entered the Provincial Department's sight. Soon, the Provincial Department's technical department contacted the school and asked to borrow people.
Of course, the school had to cooperate with the local police work. The technical department didn't have much trouble. A group of graduate students and a few computer science teaching assistants who didn't have any big jobs on their hands were given new tasks.
Previously, when Zhou Li was busy, Qu Sen and her couldn't see each other all the time. However, since they were in the same school, they could at least see each other during meals and at night. However, once they were borrowed by the Provincial Department, although they were still in the same city, they couldn't see each other anymore.
Fortunately, they had a cell phone. If they had nothing to do, they could text or call each other. However, although it was convenient, the phone bill was also quite high. A hundred yuan was basically gone before they even saw each other's faces.
After sending the subsidy, Qu Sen had just added the money to his and Zhou Li's phone numbers when Zhou Li's call came in.
"Hey, guess what I found?" Zhou Li said excitedly after the call was connected.
"There are more handsome criminals than police officers?" Qu Sen joked.
"Don't talk nonsense!" After Zhou Li reprimanded Qu Sen, she continued to speak in an excited tone, "When I was recording the national case information, I discovered a knife-wielding murder case that happened in 1986. The culprit has been on the run ever since."
"And then?" Qu Sen didn't know what this case had to do with Zhou Li, but for her to call and mention it, there must be a reason.
Sure enough, Zhou Li's next words confirmed Qu Sen's guess.
According to the records, the age of the criminal was between 25 and 30 years old. He was about 1.70 meters tall, slightly plump, and had a left-handed habit. Although he was on the run, there were many records in the case.
One of the most important points was that during the robbery, the two victims resisted. During the robbery, one of the victims picked up a soda bottle and hit him in the head.
There was a lot of blood left at the crime scene. According to another victim's recollection, after the victim hit the robber with a soda bottle, the bottle shattered, and the robber was knocked to the ground.
The victim had slashed the back of the robber's head with the stub of the soda bottle. It was because of this that the robber went berserk and ultimately led to the victim's death.
"And then?" Qu Sen asked helplessly after listening to Zhou Li's introduction of the details of the 1986 robbery and murder case.
"What do you mean by 'then'? Are you an idiot? There's a scar on the back of your head!" Zhou Li snorted coldly.
"Are you saying that the robber was Boss Zhu of the Zhu's Group?" Qu Sen immediately reacted.
"I'm not sure, but I highly suspect it!" Zhou Li said confidently.
"Just based on the scar on the back of his head?" Qu Sen asked.
"Not only the scar, but also his age, height, and weight. Although Boss Zhu is very fat now, he probably wasn't so fat 11 years ago," Zhou Li answered like a detective.
"Oh right, you said that there were blood samples left by the robber at the crime scene. Is there a DNA record?" Qu Sen suddenly thought of a very important point.
"Nonsense, what else can I say if there's a DNA report? You did a DNA test in 1986!"
"Then did you tell Director Hu about this?"
"I did." Zhou Li replied gloomily and then said, "After I told him, he asked someone to check. He said that Boss Zhu's CV and the robber's crimes don't overlap."
"Then it's settled!"
"How is it settled? I have a feeling that these two people are definitely the same person! "Although Zhou Li was usually rude, he was very kind and always remembered the robber's case.
If Boss Zhu was really a murderer, then the Zheng Family would be in even more danger.
"Sis, is there any basis for your intuition?"
"No, it's just a woman's intuition. Is it okay?"
"… Okay!"

On Saturday morning, Qu Sen took the day off and went to the city. He waited for 20 minutes at the place he had arranged with Zhou Li. A half-new Nissan Bluebird stopped two meters away from him.
"Get in the car!" Li Ying, who was in the front passenger seat, stretched out her head and shouted at Qu Sen.
After getting into the back seat, Qu Sen recognized that the driver was Lady Zhou, who was wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses. Li Ying was also wearing a pair of similar sunglasses.
Qu Sen found it funny and teased, "Hey, have you two watched too many spy movies?"
Qu Sen's words were sarcastic. However, although Lady Zhou could drive the car away, it was obvious that she was very good at driving. As soon as she started the car, she nodded three times.
Li Ying saw that she didn't have the energy to talk, so she said, "Qu Sen, Lili's judgment is actually very likely."
"Excuse me, but do you also have a woman's intuition?" Qu Sen held back his laughter and asked.
"It's not just intuition. We have evidence," Li Ying said seriously.
"Evidence?" Qu Sen was interested, "Tell me, what evidence do you have?"
"We have half of the robber's palm print and a semi-blurry fingerprint," Li Ying answered mysteriously.
Qu Sen was influenced by Li Ying. He stretched his head between the front passenger seat and whispered, "Have you compared it with Boss Zhu's?"
There was a red light in front of them. Lady Zhou stepped on the brakes far away from the intersection.
As the Bluebird slowly slid forward, she finally had the energy to talk, "Nonsense, we've compared it. The police have already gone to arrest the robber. What else do we need to do?"
Qu Sen was swayed heavily. Fortunately, his shoulders were stuck in the seat, so he didn't rush to the front. When he heard Zhou Li's words, he asked helplessly, "Then, Miss, how do you plan to get Boss Zhu's fingerprints?"
When Qu Sen asked the question, the intersection in front of them had turned green. When Zhou Li put the car in gear, the Bluebird stalled for the nth time today. She angrily slapped the steering wheel and reached out to turn the key to open the door.
After the engine hummed and started again, Zhou Li finally freed her mouth and said angrily, "I'm thinking. What's the rush?"
Qu Sen watched Zhou Li carefully change gears and didn't dare to disturb her. He whispered to Li Ying, "Where did you get the car?"
"I borrowed it from Chief Hu."
"Is it fully insured?"
"I don't know!"
"You two don't want to take it. Take a taxi!" Zhou Li said angrily.
Then … the car stalled again.
Qu Sen and Li Ying didn't feel at ease, but they couldn't really get out of the car and take a taxi.
However, they didn't even have a driver's license, so they could only insist on sitting in the car.
The Bluebird drove for more than 20 minutes and finally arrived at the Zhu's Group's office in the city.
The three of them sat in the car and discussed for a long time. In the end, they decided that Qu Sen would go and meet Boss Zhu. The reason was that they would use Gao Bo's parents as a cover.
The big frame of Gao Bo's new house had been built, but the interior decoration hadn't been completed yet. After the decoration was finished and the house was left to dry for a period of time, it would probably take until autumn to officially move in. On the other side, the construction of the coking plant was also in progress.
The couple was worried that Boss Zhu would be too embarrassed to ask them to vacate the house, and they wouldn't want to delay the construction work, so they took the initiative to ask the construction site twice.
In the end, the construction site was contracted out, so they didn't meet anyone from the Zhu's Group. The last time Qu Sen and Gao Bo went to their house to play, they heard the two of them talking about this.
Zhou Li's idea was to use this excuse to meet Boss Zhu today. Then Qu Sen would use his phone to call Gao Bo's house and ask Boss Zhu to talk to Gao Bo's parents.
On one hand, they could identify Boss Zhu's habits, and on the other hand, they could take the opportunity to get his fingerprints.
The plan went smoothly, but there were some problems when it came to implementing it. After the three of them entered the Zhu's Group's office, they explained the purpose of their visit. In the end, they got the news that this was only an office of the Zhu's Group. As the chairman, Boss Zhu wouldn't come for no reason.
After asking where they could find Boss Zhu, the receptionist shook her head and said that the Zhu's Group had a lot of businesses. The chairman didn't have a fixed office, so she didn't know where he was now.
In the end, the three of them could only hide their disappointment as they walked out of the office. After returning to the car, Lady Zhou didn't know if she had watched too many TV dramas, but she said that Boss Zhu was in the office. He just didn't want to show his face, so he didn't want to see anyone.
Li Ying also acted like she was in "game mode." She felt that what Zhou Li said made sense.
