"Property information from 20 years ago can only be found by checking the archives in each city and county."

Liu Jinghui had asked around before sharing this information at the meeting.

A police officer from the special case team stationed in Huo City said, "This shouldn’t be difficult. The victim made a cash transaction, right? Let’s find all the property transactions paid in cash within the three years before the incident. There couldn’t have been that many housing trades back then..."

Xu Taining pondered, "We can’t be sure it was bought in Huo City."

When the police officer from Huo City heard this, he realized the logic was sound. If the victim bought the property for himself, then it might indeed be in Huo City, but what if it wasn’t registered under his own name, and was bought for a secret lover?

If the secret lover turned out to be the murderer, and he committed crimes in three cities along the Jingyang Line, it proves that he is at least familiar with the train routes of these three places. Wouldn’t that mean the range of potential property purchases could extend to these three cities?

"So, it’s Huo City, Qingbai City, and Changyang City?" Liu Jinghui read out the names of these places, feeling a chill down his spine.

Huo City and Qingbai City were bearable, two prefecture-level cities. Going back 20 years, there couldn’t have been many property transactions, but Changyang City, being the provincial capital, was different. Even 20 years ago, there would have been at least tens of thousands of housing deals per year.

Xu Taining said, "There’s also the Railway Bureau."

"Hmm?"
