About five minutes later.

Guan Feng and the others got into the large SUV.

Guan Feng looked at the two people who had stopped shivering from the warmth of the heater and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any better after being in the heat for a while?"

Both of them shook their heads repeatedly.

"Sigh! It's not cold anymore, but the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel!"

"I even went into the water last night, and now that I think about it, I practically waded right over that corpse."

The more they thought about it, the more unlucky they felt.

Seeing this, Guan Feng comforted him from a different angle, saying, "You can't say that. Think about it another way: spending a night with a corpse is something you can brag about for a lifetime. When others tell you about catching a big fish weighing tens of kilograms, you can just say, 'Did you spend a night with a corpse?' What do you call that? That's called a dimensional reduction attack!"

After listening, the two of them inexplicably felt that there was some truth to it.

"That makes sense!"

"Speaking of which, besides the two of us, who else has spent a night with a corpse? Next time Old Li brags about how many fish he caught, we'll use this to shut him up!"

Guan Feng reminded them, "However, I need to remind you now that the case is under investigation and no information related to the case can be disclosed. So if you want to boast, you still need to cooperate with our investigation and find out the case as soon as possible."

The person on the right asked, "So, according to you, once the case is solved, we can just call it a day?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "There are many things that can't be said when it comes to a murder case, but it's okay to say things like you spent the night with the corpse. You don't need to worry about that. After the case is solved, we will sign a confidentiality agreement. There are rules about what can and cannot be said. Just follow the rules when you speak, and everything will be fine."

The two were relieved.

"There's this too?"

"That's great! No need to worry anymore!"

Seeing that the two men's attitudes had gradually calmed down, Guan Feng took the initiative to ask, "You two were the ones who called the police this morning, weren't you?"

"It's us!"

Both of them nodded.

Guan Feng asked, "Then tell me, what happened at the time?"

The two began to narrate:

"It must have been around 5 a.m. last night. We came over last night and didn't think much of it since we stayed up all night. This morning, we just wanted to collect the fish, but we found something under the platform. We thought it was a dead fish, so we shone a flashlight on it!"

"Officer, I swear I've never seen anything so terrifying in my life. When I shone the light, those two eyes were right in front of me. I was trembling with fear! He was the one who came over, otherwise I would have almost fallen into the water!"

Guan Feng then looked at the person on his left and asked, "Then tell me, what happened at that time?"

The man recalled somewhat reluctantly, "Well, I heard him yell 'Awooo!' and I thought he had caught a big fish, so I ran over excitedly. But when I got there, I found a body lying in the river. I was terrified! I stood there stunned for a long time before I came to my senses, and then we called the police together!"

Guan Feng asked, "Wasn't anyone else there at the time?"

The man shook his head and said, "No! It was just the two of us who came here last night."

Guan Feng asked, "Can you still remember what the body looked like?"

The man swallowed hard and recalled, "I just remember that his eyes were very big and swollen, and they looked scary, like they were staring at you. I was so scared that I dropped my phone when I called the police. I really lost out this time!"

Guan Feng glanced at the other person's phone.

There are indeed signs of damage on the tempered glass screen protector.

Guan Feng asked, "Did you see anything unusual last night? Was the body not examined at the time?"

The man shook his head and said, "No! When we came down from the platform last night, we checked the entire nearby shore. We had flashlights with us, so if we had anything, we definitely would have seen it!"

Guan Feng then looked at the man on his right and asked, "Were you like that back then?"

The man on the right said, "Yes, we didn't see it. Otherwise, who would suffer this bad luck?"

Guan Feng said, "Alright! The case is still under investigation. Leave your information and number later, and I'll talk to the police station to send you back to the station to rest before taking your statements. That's all for now."

"Thank you, officer!"

"Thank you so much!"

The two expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Guan Feng called over the police officers in charge of the scene.

The police officers may not know who Guan Feng is, but as soon as they hear the name Guan Feng, they immediately recognize him and say they will send someone to carry out the task. At the same time, they surround Guan Feng, looking eager to try.

Guan Feng frowned slightly, staring at the other person and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The officer scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I was just thinking that you, Captain Guan, are a super detective. No case can be handled for more than 48 hours. I thought it was a rare opportunity to work alongside you and see what it's like!"

Guan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, speechless at his own unfounded speculation, and said, "These are all rumors. It also depends on the difficulty of the case itself. Otherwise, if every case takes 48 hours, wouldn't it be like being a machine?"

The officer asked, "So, do you think this case is difficult?"

Guan Feng glanced at the corpse not far away and shook his head, saying, "The body is in relatively good condition, which means it hasn't been long. In addition, the face has not been damaged, so the suspect doesn't have strong counter-surveillance capabilities. The victim's identity can be confirmed. As long as we determine the victim's whereabouts before death and the scene close to the last time they were killed, we can basically lock onto the trail!"

The officer exclaimed with admiration, "As expected of Captain Guan! That reasoning was brilliant!"

Guan Feng: "...Is that impressive? Once you're transferred to the criminal investigation team, this will be common knowledge. Alright, let's get on with the case. When will Captain Chen arrive?"

Huang Lili said, "I've already contacted them! They'll be there soon."

As they were talking.

Squeak!

The technical department's vehicle arrived at the scene.

Chen Xuewen got down.

Guan Feng stepped forward, briefly introduced the case, and then asked, "Will the fact that the victim was submerged in the lake for a long time affect the outcome?"

Chen Xuewen said, "Theoretically, it is possible, but it depends on the degree of decomposition of the body."

Guan Feng then led him to the location of the body.

Chen Xuewen glanced at it and said to Guan Feng, "It's alright! It's just slight decomposition. The time of death is within 2 hours, and the body has been submerged in water for no more than 24 hours. If you're in a hurry, Captain Guan, you can start the investigation based on these two time points."

Guan Feng said, "Then I'll leave this to Captain Chen."

Chen Xuewen pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and waved his hand, saying, "Captain Guan, you go ahead with your work. I'll call you when I have the results."

Guan Feng nodded, walked ashore, and began to observe the surrounding environment.
