Ancient weir and embankment.

Less than three kilometers from the ancient embankment road are the pavilion and the ancient gatehouse.

This is the antique street in Hongcheng.

Many tourists like to come here to find antique-style items when visiting Hongcheng.

Although the prices are a bit higher than outside, people often don't care too much about the price when they're out and about. Plus, the items on the antique street are quite novel, so the street gets a lot of foot traffic.

The vehicle slowly drove in.

Guan Feng and Zheng Yuandong sat in the back row, watching people come and go.

Guan Feng patted Zheng Gan on the shoulder and pointed to the buildings outside the glass, asking, "Zheng Gan, where is Chen San'er's shop?"

Zheng Gan said, "It's not far ahead."

Guan Feng nodded and told Li Xiangdong to continue driving.

Two minutes later.

A storefront appeared before them.

The sign above reads "Chen San Antiques".

Guan Feng asked, "This antique shop?"

Zheng Gan said, "Yes, that's where I sell my goods. Why is no one here?"

Guan Feng had a bad feeling and told the car behind to slow down. He and Zheng Yuandong pretended to get out of the car to buy antiques and went to the roadside shop.

I glanced at the neighbors on the left and right and noticed that the shop on the right was open.

Guan Feng walked up and asked, "Chen San didn't come today?"

The man in the shop on the right glanced at Guan Feng, not assuming he was a policeman, and asked, "Are you looking for Chen San? He didn't come today."

Guan Feng asked, "Why didn't you show up this morning? Weren't you supposed to come?"

The man said, "No one has opened the door so early in the morning. Why don't you give him a call and ask?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "He was introduced by an acquaintance. He doesn't have a number. Do you have his phone number?"

The man glanced at Guan Feng and, seeing that he didn't seem like an ordinary person, thought he could make a good connection. He nodded and said, "Alright! I'll give him a call and ask."

Guan Feng casually strolled forward.

A moment later.

The man dialed the phone.

Guan Feng also took the opportunity to memorize the number.

But no one answered Chen San's phone.

He asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Chen San? Could he have drunk too much last night and is still asleep? His phone is off too?"

Guan Feng asked, feigning exaggeration, "What's going on? You're running a business like this? Even recommendations from acquaintances aren't reliable."

The man said, "Hey! That's just how Chen San is. Why don't you ask your friend again? Or if you need anything, you can buy it from my shop. But don't tell your friend, just say you want to buy it yourself."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I'll see this afternoon. If you still don't answer the phone, I'll come to your shop."

The man smiled and nodded, saying okay.

Guan Feng waved his hand and returned to the car, giving the number to Zheng Yuandong.

Zheng Yuandong instructed Chen Xuewen to work with the telecommunications department to pinpoint the geographical location of the relevant numbers.

At this moment.

Chen Yao called.

Chen San'er's information has been sent to Guan Feng's mobile phone.

Guan Feng looked at the string of information, gave Chen Yao a few words of encouragement, and then said to Zheng Yuandong, "Team Leader Zheng, we've found Chen San'er's place. Just drive this way, Chen San'er lives over there."

Zheng Yuandong said, "I'll call Li Ming and ask him to leave two officers here to prevent Chen San'er from coming back."

Guan Feng said, "That's safer!"

The group drove to Chen San'er's residence.

Ten minutes later.

A detached three-story building appeared before them.

Guan Feng explained, "According to my informant, Chen San'er's real name is Chen Santai. He is about twenty-four or twenty-five years old this year. He is not married and usually idles around. Later, he ran away and learned a craft from someone for two years. He came back and opened this antique shop. He usually likes to do some speculative things."

Zheng Yuandong asked, "From this perspective, the other party is quite suspicious?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Let's check if they're home first."

Several people got off the bus.

Knock knock knock!

Guan Feng knocked on Chen Santai's door.

No one responded from inside.

Knock knock knock!

Guan Feng knocked on the door again.

There was still no response from inside the house.

Zheng Yuandong urged, "I've already had the bureau process the paperwork. Open the door first, and I'll explain to Director Bai if there are any problems!"

Guan Feng flicked his wrist, and a silvery-white metal wire appeared. Without any movement, the door lock clicked open.

The group immediately stepped forward.

"No one's in the east room!"

"No one's in the west wing!"

"No one's on the first floor!"

"Second floor..."

The search continued until the entire room was thoroughly searched, but no one was found.

Guan Feng touched the room-temperature kettle by the bedside and said, "This water shouldn't have been boiled today. Captain Zheng, I suggest expanding the search area, focusing on Chen Santai, and investigating the people and events around him."

Zheng Yuandong nodded immediately.

Just then, Chen Xuewen called.

By locating Chen Santai's phone, it was discovered that the phone was located near a construction site.

Next to a construction site?

Everyone frowned.

Zheng Yuandong asked Li Xiangdong to stay behind and wait for the police officers from the police station to return before reuniting with the others.

He then drove to the construction site with Guan Feng and others.

......

Twenty minutes later.

Two cars were parked in the moat next to the construction site.

The upstream of this river is the river in Chengnan Park where Guan Feng discovered the dismemberment case when he was first transferred to Hua'an.

The river flows through the city.

The water depth is probably less than two meters.

Guan Feng and the others got off the bus.

Chen Xuewen pushed up his glasses and said to the group, "The telecom company just confirmed that the last location of the other party's mobile phone signal was in this river. The error between the three base stations is no more than 10 meters."

Zheng Yuandong instructed, "Then contact the salvage company."

Half an hour later.

A salvage team arrived.

After more than half an hour of searching, a rice-shaped mobile phone was successfully retrieved from the river.

Guan Feng, wearing gloves, took the phone, removed the SIM card, and handed it to the waiting telecommunications staff member, asking, "Can you confirm who owns this SIM card?"

Telecommunications workers insert phone cards into their portable devices.

A moment later, a number appeared on the screen; it was Chen Santai's phone number.

The telecom staff confirmed, "This is the number you're looking for!"

Guan Feng frowned.

The other person's phone fell into the river.

But the person has disappeared without a trace.

Chen Santai's future looks bleak.

He turned to Wang Xundao and said, "Immediately contact Chen Santai's family and do a DNA comparison with the body at the construction site. Seal off this area completely and see if there are any footprint clues. Captain Chen, how's the footprint investigation going?"

Chen Xuewen said, "The people below are still investigating. Only the last wall is left out of the three walls. I estimate it will be finished soon."

As they were talking.

His phone rang.
