Chapter 150: Confirming the Identity of Rose, the Beauty Salon Owner Who Travels Abroad Twice a Year!

At the same time, inside the Liangxi City Yuhua Criminal Investigation Team.

Based on criminal profiling and characteristics, Su Ming and the others boldly inferred that Rose had likely abandoned the high-profile identity of a celebrity to become the owner of a beauty salon.

Upon this conclusion, the Yuhua Criminal Investigation Team’s Technical Department immediately began taking action.

Although the search area had already been significantly narrowed down, it was still essential to gather a detailed personal resume and profile to avoid errors or unforeseen issues, as they were very close to confirming Rose’s exact identity.

As Su Ming was waiting for the results from the Technical Department, his phone, which had been lying on the table, suddenly buzzed with an urgent text message alert.

Picking it up and checking the contents, Su Ming raised an eyebrow. He then glanced over at Lin Tian, who was looking at him with questioning eyes, and calmly said, “The criminal investigation team in Xiangcheng has confirmed the exact identity of Poison.”

“They even found the place Poison has been staying for the past few years. Inside, they discovered a large quantity of high-purity drugs, as well as a workbench used to extract the deadly cyanide potassium.”

“However, as we expected, under the surveillance of the drug lord, Poison received information in advance and escaped, destroying all materials that could expose themselves or the drug organization.”

“Due to the lack of time, Poison was willing to leave behind high-purity drugs and toxic chemicals that could be fatal just to destroy everything else.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian felt a sense of regret. He reached into his pocket to grab a cigarette, but then reconsidered, feeling it might not be appropriate. He shook his head and said, “Such a shame.”

“If we had caught Poison during this operation, it would have definitely simplified the subsequent cases.”

“Right now, Director Liu and the others can only continue tracking Poison.”

“Considering how hastily Poison fled, without destroying all the items, it seems likely that Poison is still hiding somewhere nearby. We might still be able to track them down.”

“If we had kept Squad Leader Guo in Suzhou, his tracking abilities might help us find Poison faster.”

“By the way…”

At this point, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something and quickly turned serious. “Is there a possibility of using police dogs to help search?”

“Since we’ve found Poison’s residence, there must be several items like clothes with Poison’s scent.”

“Moreover, since Poison hasn’t run far, the police dogs might be able to track them quickly?”

It was clear that Lin Tian, upon confirming that Poison’s residence would have personal items with the scent of Poison, immediately thought of using the police dogs — the department’s ace — to assist in the search. This had been a common method in many past cases.

Whenever a suspect fled into forests or other areas, police dogs were often brought in to help, with a high likelihood of success.

Su Ming remained silent for two seconds before shaking his head and saying confidently, “No, Director Lin.”

“I think relying solely on tracking is already very difficult in finding Poison.”

“Because of the cautious nature of the drug lord, I don’t think he would overlook the detail of police dogs.”

“And Poison’s major is pharmacology, so even a little bit of irritating chemical substance could interfere with the police dogs’ sense of smell. In fact, just spraying more perfume would have the same effect.”

“Overall, police dogs are not very useful, but it’s still worth trying. Who knows? They might just track Poison down by chance.”

“So, rather than relying on tracking, I prefer to use deduction to find Poison.”

“After all, Poison hasn’t had time to go far in such a short period, and the place they’re hiding should be somewhere familiar, somewhere they’ve visited or scouted out before.”

“Therefore, there’s a possibility that we can deduce the location based on Poison’s daily routines and character…”

Before Su Ming could finish his sentence, Gao Chao, still standing in front of the whiteboard in the meeting room, received the latest message from the Criminal Investigation Technical Department. Usually calm, he couldn’t help but get a little excited as he said, “We found it!”

“Director Lin, Vice-Team Leader Su, the officers from the Criminal Investigation Technical Department have already identified and confirmed Rose’s current identity!”

This immediately made Su Ming and Lin Tian stop their discussion and look toward the projection screen at the front of the room, where a detailed personal profile had appeared.

In the upper-right corner was an ID photo of a woman in her thirties.

Although it was just a simple ID photo, it was no exaggeration to say that, based on her features and overall face shape, this woman’s appearance was truly striking. Even among celebrities, she would likely stand out.

As Su Ming and the others carefully examined the projection screen, Gao Chao also began to explain some crucial details.

“Through the careful screening by the officers in the Criminal Investigation Technical Department, we can now confirm that Rose’s true identity is most likely the founder of the ‘Red Rose Beauty Salon’ in the center of Liangxi City.”

“By examining internal household registration information, as well as bank, hotel, and hospital expenses, we’ve come to the following conclusions.”

“First, Rose’s current identity is Tang Zhiyun, and her registered birthplace is Xingcheng, which is in the same province as her original identity, Lan Yujun, from Dayong City.”

“Upon investigating Tang Zhiyun’s identity in Xingcheng, we found that, while everything appeared normal for a period of time, there was a six-month gap just before the unveiling case where she seemed to have disappeared without leaving any information.”

“When we checked the initial household registration photo of Tang Zhiyun, we noticed a huge difference from her current appearance. She is now far more beautiful than before.”

“From this, I strongly suspect that Tang Zhiyun may have either died in some accident or fled the country illegally.”

“Then, with the help of the drug lord, Rose seamlessly took on this identity, without having to worry about any sudden suspicions arising from the appearance of a new identity.”

“Additionally, the original Red Rose Beauty Salon was a large spa company, which was purchased by Tang Zhiyun, or Rose, at a high price last year.”

“In less than a year, the beauty salon became famous because of Rose’s exceptional skills in facelift procedures, slimming massages, and facial cosmetic treatments.”

“It quickly became the favorite beauty salon of wealthy women in Liangxi City, and even attracted many wealthy women from other provinces who came for cosmetic treatments.”

“As a result, Tang Zhiyun’s reputation skyrocketed. Since she is over thirty and unmarried, she became a representative of female empowerment widely promoted by the media, and she participated in several interviews.”

“All of these points match perfectly with our assumptions about Rose’s details.”

“But the most important thing is that, through visa and immigration information, we’ve confirmed…”

“That Tang Zhiyun, the owner of Red Rose Beauty Salon, travels abroad at least twice a year, and most of her destinations are… the United States!”
