At this moment.

In the surveillance room of the Jiangcheng City Traffic Police Team.

Engineer Zhang was busily engrossed in his work.

Li Jian and Wan stood behind him, observing the computer screen intently.

After 30 minutes, Zhang excitedly exclaimed, "I found it!"

"Found it!"

Immediately, Li Jian and Wan leaned in closer.

Wan asked, "Where?"

"After analyzing the data, I found that this vehicle frequently parks in the West Mountain District."

In the past four weeks, this red vehicle has been parked in that complex almost daily.

"West Mountain District?"

Li Jian's eyes lit up.

He wasn't unfamiliar with that complex.

Being a resettlement area, its complex demographics have made it a breeding ground for criminals.

A few years ago, Li Jian often went there to catch thieves.

Wan pondered, "Could it be that the female victim lived there?"

Li Jian replied, "It's highly possible, if she wasn't from that complex, the parking wouldn't be that consistent."

Zhang also added, "Based on my experience, I think the owner of the car is likely from that complex."

Subsequently, Li Jian patted Zhang on the shoulder.

"Thanks, brother, for your help this time!"

"Mr. Li, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll do my best."

"I've always admired the profession of a police detective."

Li Jian smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

30 minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the West Mountain District.

Sure enough, it's a resettlement area.

Under broad daylight, the old man at the gate was lying in bed sleeping.

Originally, Li Jian planned to ask the gatekeeper some basic questions about the complex.

But seeing him like that, Li Jian instantly abandoned the thought.

Wan looked around and said, "Mr. Li, this complex doesn't even have any greenery. The chances of a surveillance camera are slim."

Li Jian said, "Let's look around first."

"Is there an underground garage?"

Wan answered, "No underground garage, just an open-air parking lot in front."

"Let's go and see if there are any cameras?"

Then the two of them headed to the open-air parking lot.

The parking lot had more than 30 cars, mostly ordinary models, some even quite old.

Wan looked around; there were no monitoring devices or cameras surrounding the parking lot.

At that moment, two middle-aged women walked up, chatting loudly.

"These people aren't even paying the property fee?"

"It's only 50 yuan a month, can't they afford it?"

"Cutting back on one pack of cigarettes would cover a month's fee."

...

Listening to them, Li Jian immediately realized they were from the property management company.

Quickly, Li Jian approached, showing his police badge.

"Hello, ma'am, I'm an officer from the Jiangcheng Criminal Police Team."

The middle-aged woman looked back, her face full of suspicion, "Police?"

"What's the matter?"

Then Li Jian said, "We are investigating a case. Is there a red car often parked here?"

One of the middle-aged women said, "That's right! That's right!"

The other added, "It's those two young people, not paying property fees or parking fees."

Hearing this, Li Jian felt delighted, not expecting them to have such a strong impression.

He then asked, "Do you know where they live?"

One of the women flipped through a roster.

"The female owner is named Li Lan, and the man's name is Zhong Shuang."

Then she shook her head, "Are all the young people these days so lacking in quality?"

"Not only do they owe property fees, but they also owe parking management fees."

Li Jian then asked, "What floor and number is their apartment?"

"Block 4, third floor, apartment 1."

She turned and pointed at the building behind her.

"It's the one with the clothes hanging on the balcony."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian felt a rush of joy.

Suddenly he felt like he'd found something effortlessly after searching hard.

He immediately turned and said, "Wan, let's go up and take a look."

As they were going up, Li Jian suddenly thought of Jiang An's analysis that the killer might be the victim's boyfriend or husband.

He turned to Wan, signaling with his eyes, and patted his waist.

"What?"

Wan was puzzled. Was there a need to draw their guns for a simple investigation?

Li Jian said, "What if the killer is inside?"

"The killer inside?"

"Impossible, right?"

"Boss, we don't even know the victim's true identity yet, and we're determining who the killer is?"

Li Jian turned and said, "Trust me!"

"At any time, we need to have a heightened sense of danger."

Wan said, "Boss, you're really cautious!"

Immediately, Wan also took out his gun, holding it in his hand.

Li Jian and Wan quietly watched their surroundings as they slowly advanced.

Arriving at the door of apartment 1 on the third floor, Li Jian and Wan stood on either side of the door.

Li Jian raised his hand and knocked on the iron door, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was no response from inside.

Then Li Jian knocked again, this time much harder.

After waiting another 2 minutes, there was still no response.

Wan whispered, "Boss, there's probably no one inside!"

After waiting a while longer, there was still no response.

At this moment, a man carrying groceries unexpectedly came up from the second-floor corner.

Hearing footsteps, both Li Jian and Wan turned their heads.

Seeing them, the man's face showed a flash of panic.

After a brief moment, the man visibly tensed, keeping his head down as he walked past them.
