Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: So Cruel—The Groom Arrested at the Wedding

"Since I've traveled through time, is there no grandfather or golden finger?"

"Ding!"

A sudden sound rang, and Lu Chuan felt a thrill of excitement.

Time travel has happened, how could there be no system or golden finger of some sort.

An electronically synthesized voice echoed in Lu Chuan's ear.

"Congratulations to the host on your rebirth. Based on your professional characteristics, the Detective System is now active."

"Newbie gift pack granted: Crime Buster Eye of Truth, Basic Crime Scene Photography Skill Card!"

System!

Delight flashed through Lu Chuan's eyes, the system that often comes with rebirth was here.

"Would the host like to claim the newbie gift pack?"

"Claim!"

Swoosh!

A stream of light flashed, and the Basic Crime Scene Photography Skill Card disappeared into the depths of Lu Chuan's memory, as knowledge about crime scene photography rushed in like a tide.

Then, streaks of colorful light flashed across Lu Chuan's eyes, the refreshing sensation jolted his spirit.

Eye of Truth: Crime Buster, collects trait clues of wanted criminals at all levels nationwide, and can feature-match with people the host has seen, leaving no evil unhidden under the Eye of Truth.

The introduction about the Eye of Truth was very detailed; in plain terms, this thing is an automatic physical trait comparison system.

Lu Chuan could use the Eye of Truth to compare the physical characteristics of people he has seen with various wanted suspects nationwide, and the Eye of Truth would show the similarity as a percentage.

For example, if a stranger stands in front of Lu Chuan, the Eye of Truth can compare the person's height, appearance, voice, and other details to give a trait similarity percentage with a certain wanted criminal.

This similarity percentage may not be one hundred percent because the comparison data of wanted criminals in the system comes from reality, and some details of wanted criminals were not comprehensive at the time of their wanted notice.

If the person had plastic surgery after committing the crime, changing identities, then although the comparison rate might be quite high, it would definitely not be one hundred percent; whether this person is indeed a wanted criminal still needs other evidence to confirm.

What can be certain is the higher the similarity the Eye of Truth shows, the greater the viability the person is a criminal.

Having claimed the system's newbie gift pack, Lu Chuan concentrated once again, the whole world was different.

A light screen appeared above the heads of everyone present, displaying a percentage number.

Most people's comparison value on the scene was 0, but when Lu Chuan focused his gaze, a blood-red light screen was particularly striking.

Wang Dahua!

This guy had a blood-red light screen above his head, and the trait similarity was seventy-six percent!

"Wang Dahua, with a seventy-six percent trait similarity to Chen Jianshe, wanted in connection with the Haizhou City woolen factory robbery and murder case twenty-eight years ago!"

What the hell!

Lu Chuan was shocked.

Twenty-eight years ago, there was a series of robbery and murder cases at the Haizhou City First Woollen Factory; three female workers were murdered consecutively at midnight, causing panic, and no one at the factory dared to work the night shift.

The case remained unsolved, Lu Chuan even studied this case in college.

The perpetrator at the time only left half a fingerprint, and there was the testimony of a survivor; the perpetrator had a birthmark behind the left ear.

Could this Wang Dahua be the robber and murderer from those years?

Lu Chuan quickly used the Eye of Truth to look at the wanted profile of the suspect from back then, height was highly similar, but the facial shape was completely different.

Even if it's been twenty-eight years and the appearance has changed, there should still be some similarity, right?

What's going on?

While Lu Chuan was dazed after collecting the newbie gift pack, conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

Wang Dahua deliberately had his henchman throw money at Yang Lin's chest, igniting everyone's anger.

"Damn! Even if I have to lose my police uniform, today I'll teach you a lesson!"

With reckless fury, Yang Lin was overwhelmed by anger, and two other dormitory buddies were eager to try.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly held onto Yang Lin: "Old Yang, don't be fooled, leave it to me! Leave it to me!"

This old man might be carrying a homicide case on his back, fighting him over a scumbag like Song Yaoyao isn't worth it!

Having the other two stop Yang Lin, Lu Chuan walked towards Wang Dahua with a cold face.

"What, you want to stand up for him?"

Stand up?

Lu Chuan shook his head, his eyes like an eagle's, fixed on Wang Dahua: "Wang Dahua, you're just an old thug halfway in the grave, thinking you can provoke my brother to lose his future over this scumbag of a girl, how ridiculous!"

Lu Chuan pointed to the man in black behind Wang Dahua: "You let him record from the back, had this plan well thought out, didn't you?"

Seeing his scheme exposed, Wang Dahua's face turned grim: "Kid, the green hills won't change, the rivers will flow, heh, let's spar another day."

"Spar another day?" Lu Chuan sneered: "I really wonder where you got the nerve to even think of sparring with us cops, a few stinking bucks burning a hole in your pocket?"

Lu Chuan took a sudden step forward, just a step away from Wang Dahua, close enough to see the plaque on his teeth: "And that old face of yours, pathetically weak, not even a single hair, did you perhaps have plastic surgery?"

Hmm?

At the mention of plastic surgery, Lu Chuan caught a slight twitch at Wang Dahua's mouth corner and a flicker of panic in his eyes.

"Brat, you and your kind aren't welcome here, security, see them out!"

With this, Wang Dahua tried to leave quickly, ignoring the humiliation he had brought upon Yang Lin.

But is it too late to leave now?

"Wang Dahua, a Haizhou native, real name Chen Jianshe, wanted for the woolen factory robbery and murder case from twenty-eight years ago, had plastic surgery and changed his name while on the run, yet you've dared to return to Haizhou City."

"Who gave you the guts?"

Lu Chuan's voice was like a specter's, making Wang Dahua's face pale.

Faced with Lu Chuan's questioning, Wang Dahua dared not look back, hastily trying to depart.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan became even more certain of his guess: "Brothers, get him!"

Then he pulled out his ID: "Police investigation, move aside!"

Although Yang Lin and the others didn't understand why the wedding turned into a crime scene, it was clear that Wang Dahua was problematic.

The three of them excitedly exclaimed, damn, after a day of suffocation, they finally got to show off their skills!

Bam! Bam bam!

Wang Dahua was over fifty, no match for Lu Chuan and his friends, who quickly took him down.

"What are you doing!"

"Just because you're police, you think you can beat people up?"

"Let go of me, I'm a legitimate businessman, I'll sue you! I'll file a complaint!"

With his face cut and bruised, Wang Dahua angrily turned to his hired bodyguards: "You idiots, still standing there? Get them down for me!"

But the bodyguards dared not step forward; Lu Chuan had just shown his badge, now they were dealing with a police operation, not a situation to jump into!

"What are you doing!" Although panicked, Song Yaoyao clearly chose to stand with Wang Dahua: "Yang Lin, today is my wedding, what do you mean arresting the groom in public!"

"Stop having any illusions about me, it's impossible between us."

Lu Chuan paid no attention to the wailing Wang Dahua or the narcissistic ranting of Song Yaoyao, he climbed atop Wang Dahua, grabbed his left ear, and pulled hard, revealing a blood mole: "Didn't get rid of this during your surgery, did you?"

With the blood mole exposed, the Eye of Truth trait percentage jumped to ninety-five percent!

With such a high match rate, he's got nowhere to run!

Lu Chuan took out a pair of handcuffs he always carried, twisted Wang Dahua's arm: "Old thug, stop pretending, it's over for the crime you committed twenty-eight years ago!"
