Criminal Investigator's Log
Chapter 2: So Cruel, Arresting the Groom at the Wedding Ceremony
"Since I've already transmigrated, isn't there some old master or a golden finger?"
"Ding!"
An abrupt sound rang out, and Lu Chuan’s spirits lifted.
Since transmigration had already happened, how could there not be a system or some kind of golden finger?
A synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lu Chuan’s ears.
"Congratulations to the host for being reborn. Based on the host's professional background, the Criminal Investigation System has been activated."
"Issuing Newbie Gift Pack: 'Eye of Truth' (Crime Buster), and a Primary Crime Scene Photography Skill Card!"
A system!
A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Lu Chuan’s eyes; the standard equipment for a rebirth had arrived.
"Does the host wish to claim the Newbie Gift Pack?"
"Claim!"
*Swish!*
A stream of light flashed, and the Primary Crime Scene Photography Skill Card vanished into the depths of Lu Chuan’s memory. Knowledge regarding crime scene photography flooded in like a tide.
Next, streaks of colorful light passed before Lu Chuan’s eyes, and a cool sensation made his mind snap to attention.
Eye of Truth: Crime Buster. It collects characteristic clues of wanted criminals at all levels nationwide and can perform feature matching against people the host has seen. Under the Eye of Truth, no evil shall remain hidden.
The introduction to the Eye of Truth was very detailed. To put it simply, this thing was an automatic human feature comparison system.
Lu Chuan could use the Eye of Truth to compare the physical features of people he had seen against various wanted suspects nationwide. The Eye of Truth would display the similarity as a percentage.
For example, if a stranger stood in front of Lu Chuan, the Eye of Truth could compare details like the person's height, appearance, and voice to give a similarity percentage to a specific wanted criminal.
This similarity wasn't necessarily one hundred percent, because the comparison data for wanted criminals in the system came from reality, and the detailed features of some criminals were not comprehensive at the time they were put on the wanted list.
Even if the person had undergone plastic surgery after committing a crime and changed their identity, the comparison percentage might be relatively high, but it would definitely not be one hundred percent. Whether this person was truly the wanted criminal would still require other evidence to confirm.
However, what was certain was that the higher the similarity percentage given by the Eye of Truth, the greater the possibility that the person was a criminal.
After claiming the system's newbie gift pack, Lu Chuan focused his gaze again, and the whole world looked different.
Above the heads of everyone in front of him appeared a light screen containing a percentage number.
The comparison values for the vast majority of people at the scene were 0, but when Lu Chuan’s gaze converged in front of him, a blood-red light screen stood out remarkably.
Wang Dahu!
The light screen above this guy’s head was actually blood-red, and the feature similarity was a staggering 76 percent!
"Wang Dahu, 76 percent feature similarity to Chen Jianshe, a wanted suspect in the Haizhou City Woolen Mill robbery and murder case from twenty-eight years ago!"
Holy crap!
Lu Chuan was shocked.
Twenty-eight years ago, a series of robbery and murder cases occurred at the Haizhou No. 1 Woolen Mill. Three female workers were killed at midnight in succession. At the time, people were in a panic, and no one in the entire mill dared to work the night shift.
To this day, the case remained unsolved. Lu Chuan had even studied this case when he was in college.
The killer had only left behind half a fingerprint, and according to the statement of an accidental survivor, the killer had a blood mole behind his left ear.
Could this Wang Dahu be the robber and murderer from back then?
Lu Chuan hurriedly flipped through the wanted files of the suspects from that year via the Eye of Truth. The height was highly similar, but the face shape was completely different.
Even after twenty-eight years, while appearances change, there shouldn't be zero similarities, right?
What was going on?
Just as Lu Chuan was stunned while claiming the system's newbie gift pack, the conflict had reached the brink of eruption.
The money Wang Dahu had deliberately let his lackey throw at Yang Lin’s chest had incited everyone’s indignation.
"Damn it! Even if I have to stop wearing this police uniform, I’m going to beat you up today!"
Hot-blooded and impulsive, Yang Lin had been blinded by anger, and his two best friends from the dorm were also eager to jump in.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan hurriedly grabbed Yang Lin: "Old Yang, don't fall for it, leave it to me! Leave it to me!"
This old man likely had a murder case on his hands; it wasn't worth risking his life for a piece of trash like Song Yaoyao!
Having the other two hold Yang Lin back, Lu Chuan walked toward Wang Dahu with a gloomy face.
"What, you want to stand up for him?"
Stand up for him?
Lu Chuan shook his head, his eyes fixed on Wang Dahu like a hawk: "Wang Dahu, you’re just an old fart with one foot in the grave. Trying to provoke my brother into ruining his future for this trashy woman? Not a chance!"
Lu Chuan pointed at the man in black behind Wang Dahu: "You had him recording in the back; you planned this scheme a long time ago, didn't you?"
Seeing his plot fall through, Wang Dahu’s face darkened: "Kid, the green hills remain, the clear waters flow. Heh heh, let's spar another day."
"Spar another day?" Lu Chuan sneered: "I really don't know where you get the courage to spar with us police. Are you so blinded by a few stinking coins that you don't know north from south?"
Lu Chuan stepped forward abruptly, getting within inches of Wang Dahu, close enough to see the plaque on his teeth: "And this old face of yours is so saggy and loose, not even a single hair on it. Could it be you've had plastic surgery?"
Hm?
The moment the words "plastic surgery" left his lips, Lu Chuan keenly caught the slight twitch at the corner of Wang Dahu’s mouth and a flash of panic in his eyes.
"You little brat, you aren't welcome here. Security, get them out of here!"
After saying this, Wang Dahu didn't even care about humiliating Yang Lin anymore and prepared to leave quickly.
But, wasn't it a bit too late to leave now?
"Wang Dahu, from Haizhou, original name Chen Jianshe, wanted criminal for the Woolen Mill robbery and murder case twenty-eight years ago. After fleeing, you had plastic surgery and changed your name. I didn't expect you to actually return to Haizhou City."
"Who gave you the guts?"
Lu Chuan’s voice was like a death-bringing ghost, scaring Wang Dahu so much that his face changed drastically.
Facing Lu Chuan’s interrogation, Wang Dahu didn't dare look back and tried to walk away quickly.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan further confirmed his guess: "Brothers, go, take him down!"
He then pulled out his ID: "Police investigation, everyone move aside!"
Although Yang Lin and the others didn't know why a wedding scene had turned into a crime scene, it was clear that this Wang Dahu had issues.
The three of them shouted excitedly. Damn, they’d been stifled all day, and finally, it was time for them to show their stuff!
*Bang! Bang-bang!*
Wang Dahu was already over fifty; how could he be a match for Lu Chuan and the others? He was knocked to the ground in a few moves.
"What are you doing!"
"Is being a cop so great? Can cops just hit people?"
"Let me go! I'm a legitimate businessman! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to file a complaint!"
Wang Dahu, his face already bruised, looked angrily at the bodyguards he had hired: "You idiots, what are you standing there for? Take them down for me!"
But the bodyguards didn't dare step forward now. Lu Chuan had just pulled out his ID; they were police on official business. Were they looking to get themselves killed by interfering?
"What are you doing!" Although Song Yaoyao was panicked, it was clear she had to stand with Wang Dahu at this moment: "Yang Lin, today is my wedding! You’re arresting the groom in public, what is the meaning of this!"
"Don't harbor any more fantasies about me; it’s impossible between us."
Lu Chuan ignored the wailing Wang Dahu and the narcissistic, screeching Song Yaoyao. He mounted Wang Dahu, reached up to grab his left ear, and pulled hard. Behind it was exactly that blood mole: "When you had your plastic surgery, didn't you clean off this blood mole?"
Once the blood mole was revealed, the feature percentage given by the Eye of Truth instantly soared to 95 percent!
With such a high match rate, there was no escaping now!
Lu Chuan took out his handcuffs and twisted Wang Dahu’s arm: "Old fart, stop pretending. The business from twenty-eight years ago—you're busted!"
