Hi Nicholas,
An examples for cong qian

Cong qian, wo3 hen3 ai4 ta1= I loved him deeply in the past.

“an qing”means details of a case.

e.g. Qing3 ni3 ba3 an4 qing2 gao4 su4 wo3= Please tell me the details of your case. An qing fei chang fu za= the case is very complex.

an example for hide
Bu2 yao4 ba3 wo3 de dong1 xi1 cang2 qi3 lai2.= Do not hide my stuffs.

Hope this would be helpful.

Yes, cáng could be used as “wǒ zhī dào nǐ cáng zài nǎ li = I know where you hide”

Also cóng qián means long time ago
