The case dates back to 20 years ago, when the victim was Cheng Hong, a sex worker.

At the time of the incident, she was only 16 years old.

Cheng Hong was born in a small village less than [-] kilometers away from Jianghu. At that time, the traffic was not developed, and there was no concept of a so-called big economic zone or satellite city. Even though it was not far from the economically developed Jianghu, the small village was very poor. The standard of living was more than ten years behind that of Jianghu, which had entered the modernization at that time.

At the age of 13, Cheng Hong came to Jianghu to work with a girl who was a few years older than her in the same village.

The girl who brought her out of the village is the hope of the whole family. Everyone in the village says that she is promising and has made a lot of money in Jianghu. Bracelets, even the daughter-in-law of the village head, are only jealous.

Cheng Hong is young, and the children of the same generation in Murakami are older than her, so they call her Xiaohong.

Xiaohong has a good temper and looks very juicy. Although she is only 13 years old, she is not as thin and short as other girls in the same village.Even the elder sisters in the same village who have seen many Yingyans of various colors in Jianghu praised her as a crane that fell among the chickens.

When she was young, Xiaohong was tall and thin, with an oval face, and the bangs on her forehead were naturally curled just right, and what was more attractive than the curvature of her bangs was a pair of watery almond eyes underneath.

Anyone who sees such a naturally uncarved beauty will take a second look.

Wen Di pointed to the old photos and told Shen Wen: "This Xiaohong is simply not the same person as the one on the current file."

Shen Ting glanced at the two photos that were put together to make a comparison between the present and the past, and immediately frowned and said with certainty: "This is not the same person."

Jiang Zhi is the collator of this document. He made a preliminary comparison of Cheng Hong's old and new photos long ago, so he quickly explained: "It's because of plastic surgery later that it doesn't look like it."

In the recent photo, the middle-aged little red nose and eyes have obvious signs of plastic surgery.

"No." Shen Ting firmly denied: "Her cheekbones are much bigger than before."

As people grow older, the face shape of ordinary people will be slightly different from when they were young, but although the muscle lines will change, the skeleton will not change much.

However, the two mandibles of Xiaohong in the recent photo are obviously relatively wide and obtuse, which is quite different from the narrow and smooth mandible line in the old photo.

Pan Xiaozhu also nodded in agreement after careful comparison: "It's really different. According to modern people's aesthetic standards, plastic surgery for face shape usually uses bone cutting and other means to smooth out the original wide cheekbones. Do it wide, besides—" She pointed to the woman's obvious towering apple muscles in the photo and said: "The muscles of this person's face are directed upwards, which does not conform to the direction of muscle texture at her age, she should have done it Thread embedding and other enhancements. Face-lifting needles are also taken. That is to say, the wide cheeks are entirely due to bone structure problems. So I support what Team Shen said. From the perspective of facial structure, the two photos are not the same person .”

Combined with Shen Ting and Pan Xiaozhu's speculation, the two photos were adjusted to equal size after technical processing and placed on the same grid.The final result of the comparison proved that Shen Ting's judgment was very accurate, and the positions of the two people's cheekbones could not overlap, so even though their eyebrows and eyes were similar, it was very likely that they were not the same person.

Therefore, after so many years, the only survivor other than Lu Xinghe may have been replaced by someone else!

This result made everyone hairy and silent for a minute.

Shen Ting took an anonymous card from the sealed file bag, and dialed the phone number of the survivor in the file.

It was a woman with a cold voice who answered the phone.

"Who?"

"Is it Xiaohong?" Shen Ting deliberately lowered his voice, which made him sound like a middle-aged man with a slightly younger voice.

The woman asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"My friend gave me your phone number, I think we might be good friends too."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Cheng Hong quickly said, "I'm sorry, I haven't been in this business for many years, you should find someone else."

Then the phone was hung up quickly without leaving any room.

Shen Ting turned on the speakerphone, and everyone heard Cheng Hong's reply.

Chen Cong smiled: "She lied."

Shen Ting let out a "hmm".Chen Cong was right, Cheng Hong had indeed lied.

Pan Xiaozhu asked: "Why can it be judged that she lied?"

Shen heard: "This file was updated five years ago, which means that the phone number left is also from five years ago. If she really quit, in order not to be harassed, it is impossible not to change the phone number."

Pan Xiaozhu also deeply agreed with this, and after thinking about it, she asked again: "But she denied it, what should I do now? Do you want to make an appointment for an inquiry?"

"No need." Shen Ting lowered his head to call Chu Huainan, and the other party just answered, "Where are you?"

It was rare for Chu Huainan to be inspected, and unexpectedly he was happy: "At the company, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Ting reported an address, which was an old residential area.Pan Xiaozhu knew that it was the address registered on the residence permit.

"Is this piece of land that you have newly photographed in Far South?"

Shen Ting got a positive answer from Chu Huainan.
