Thirteen Years of Dust 尘封十三载 Episode 16

Lu Xingzhi woke up early in the morning and saw that his father had already prepared breakfast and was exercising downstairs. He picked up the article his father reminded him to read yesterday, and he thought of something, so he woke up Yang Man and asked her to help look up the information. If the information was in English, he asked her to translate it into Chinese. Wei Zhengrong received the pager message, which seemed to be from the murderer, and he immediately asked Lu Xingzhi to go to the technical investigation. Lu Xingzhi remembered that there was a public phone near the police force. The master and apprentice hurried to confirm the phone number. After confirming, they went to track down the person. On the way, they saw their old friend Zhang Sicheng. Wei Zhengrong remembered that the message might have been sent by Zhang Sicheng, so he stopped to track down. Lu Xingzhi said that his father wanted to have a meal and drink with Wei Zhengrong, and Wei Zhengrong agreed.

During the meal, Lu Xingzhi talked about serial murder cases in foreign countries, trying to look at the pencil murder case from a different perspective. And Wei Zhengrong thinks that these foreign things are not applicable in China, and even complains about Lu Xingzhi's view that these things are useless. Father Lu smiled awkwardly, because he was the one who let his son see these things. Lu Xingzhi continued to express his opinion. He felt that the Liu Meng case might not be the first case committed by the murderer. Wei Zhengrong didn't object to his investigation, but the premise was that the work should not be delayed. Lu Xingzhi got up immediately and went back to the bureau to check the file. Both Wei Zhengrong and Lu's father had been soldiers, and both were police officers, so there were many topics to talk about. Wei Zhengrong was very emotional. At the beginning, he should have been like Lu's father, and he would join the army after getting married.

In 2010, Lu Xingzhi issued a military order to Huo Ju. He had to solve the case within a month. If he could not solve the case, he would resign on his own initiative. Team Huo woke him up by scolding him directly. If the case could not be solved, the victims would fail, not the police. After Lu Xingzhi listened to Huo Ju's words in silence, he became firm in his heart. He actually wanted to hear Huo Ju's encouragement. The information of the new deceased was found. The deceased was named Xue Hong, an employee of Rou Rou Hair Salon on Jiangyin South Road. Because this hair salon had a criminal record and was investigated, the information of the deceased came out quickly. The deceased had been severely beaten during his lifetime, unlike previous victims, the Strawberry Doll not only contained the deceased's DNA, but also Lu Anning's DNA.

Yang Man noticed that An Ning had sprayed her own perfume, dressed carefully and went out. She was worried about An Ning, so she followed. Lao Du returned to the bureau to help, and with one more manpower, the investigation was quicker. Lao Zhu and Lao Du went to Xue Hong's home to inquire, while Lu Xingzhi and Wei Zhengrong went to Rou Rou's hairdressing shop. There was a 19-year-old girl in the hairdressing shop who rented the hairdressing shop with Xue Hong and planned to open a Taobao shop. She obviously just learned that Xue Hong was dead, and kept crying. This girl provided a clue that different people came to the hair salon to look for Xue Hong, including middle-aged people and young people. Lu Xingzhi took out Qu Zhenxiang's photo for her to identify, but she didn't know him.

Wei Zhengrong lamented that such a little girl doesn't understand anything, so she can easily become the target of those people. His emotion was not groundless, there were too many such cases in the files back then. At Lu Xingzhi's insistence, Wei Zhengrong decided to investigate a murder case in Nan'an. The police in charge of the case from the Nan'an Brigade took them to the scene of the crime. Lu Xingzhi found a mezzanine in the cabinet. He borrowed strength to open the interlayer, but found a nude painting in the clothes stick, which was exactly the same as Liu Meng's posture when he died. This important clue made Wei Zhengrong decide to investigate the case together, and Lao Lu gave Wei Zhengrong the name of the signatory of the inspection report.
