The next day.

After finishing breakfast, Guan Feng went to the office to relieve Liu Shengguo, who was on duty the previous night.

Considering the need for a balance between work and rest, everyone except Liu Shengguo rested last night.

Guan Feng instructed, "Old Liu, go back and rest quickly. I'll take care of things here."

Liu Shengguo rubbed his eyes and said, "Team leader, the case is... well, I'll head back now."

Guan Feng patted him on the shoulder and watched him leave.

8:30.

Everyone had arrived.

Guan Feng gave a brief briefing on the case.

Li Xiangdong said, "Based on our understanding, there have been no recent cases of missing persons in the surrounding area. Should we expand the scope of our investigation?"

Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Not a single one?"

Li Xiangdong nodded and said, "That's right! We checked with all the district police stations in Hua'an and found that we haven't received any reports, not even any suspected missing persons cases. We've already sent people to keep a close eye on the surrounding area!"

Guan Feng frowned deeply.

They used the DNA of three people, but they couldn't find any missing persons. How is that possible?

He instructed, "Continue to investigate this lead, expand the search area, and don't limit it to Hua'an; also investigate the surrounding districts and counties."

"yes!"

Li Xiangdong nodded.

Guan Feng then looked at Wang Xun and asked, "Have you found that stray dog?"

Wang Xun said, "According to the location you gave me, team leader, we did find a household. They said they picked up a dead dog yesterday. The specific details were just reported by the lower-level station, so I don't know them yet."

Upon seeing this, Guan Feng immediately said, "Then let's go take a look together."

Wang Xun nodded.

......

Da Dong Village.

One of the villages under Hongcheng.

When Guan Feng arrived, police officers from the nearby police station had been waiting for him for a long time.

Guan Feng stepped forward, shook hands with the other party, and gave a brief introduction.

The police officer said, "According to our investigation, the family is called Dong Dazhuo. They found a stray dog ​​yesterday, but we still need to investigate whether it is the one you are looking for."

Guan Feng thanked him and said, "Okay! Please take us there."

Several people stepped forward and knocked on the door inside the house.

Squeak!

The iron gate opened, revealing a strong, thin middle-aged man.

"You're Dong Dazhuo?"

Guan Feng looked at the other person and asked.

Dong Dazhuo nodded repeatedly and asked, "What do you do?"

The police officer next to him gave a brief introduction.

Dong Dazhu shook hands repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Officer, I really picked up that dog, I didn't steal it. If you don't believe me, I'll find someone to testify. It's Dong Xiaohua from my village. He picked it up with me, but he doesn't eat dog meat, so he let me bring it back. I really am not a dog thief."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "We're not here to talk about that. This dog is involved in a murder case."

Dong Dazhu blinked, looking a little confused, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Guan Feng said, "This dog may have eaten human flesh."

"What?"

Dong Dazhuo was stunned.

Guan Feng repeated, "This dog may have eaten human flesh."

"ah?"

Dong Dazhuo understood.

He then sprinted into the house like a madman.

"Don't put that dog meat in the pot! Don't put it in the pot!"

......

Ten minutes later.

Dong Dazhuo's parents, Dong Dazhuo and his wife, and several others vomited in the courtyard.

Guan Feng looked at the half-eaten dog meat left on the table and asked, "Is this what you ate last night?"

vomit!

The group vomited again.

The others, seeing this, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Anyone would find it unbearable to know they might have eaten human flesh.

They never expected that in just one night, the family of four could eat half a dog and find it incredibly delicious.

Guan Feng turned to Li Xiangdong and asked, "How much longer will Captain Chen and the others take?"

Li Xiangdong glanced at his watch and replied, "We should be there soon."

Guan Feng said, "Then let's wait."

As they were talking, Chen Xuewen led his men in.

Guan Feng pointed to the half-eaten dog meat on the table and asked, "Captain Chen, this stray dog ​​was half-eaten. Can the remaining meat still be detected?"

Chen Xuewen pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and shook his head, saying, "An autopsy doesn't focus on these things. The main thing is to see if the intestines and other organs are still there. Generally, food will remain in these places after it's been swallowed. It's fortunate that it was cut off whole, otherwise, there would definitely be no clues after stewing it."

vomit!

Upon hearing this, Dong Dazhuo and the others immediately began vomiting again, clutching their basins.

Seeing this, Chen Xuewen reminded him, "Captain Guan, these vomits also need to be tested; there might be residue of dog meat in them."

Dong Dazhuo and his wife: "???"

Dong Dazhuo's parents: "???"

Guan Feng ignored their expressions and nodded, saying, "Let them eliminate the accumulated waste once they've recovered sufficiently."

Dong Dazhuo and the others felt even more upset upon hearing this.

Dong Dazhuo asked, "Can, can we not queue? I can't stand the thought of it."

Guan Feng frowned and said, "It's not a question of whether it's possible or not. We extracted the DNA of three people from the stomachs of other dogs. In other words, this dog may not have eaten the flesh of one person, but rather three people!"

“We need to make sure there are no other people around. If you’re so scared, why didn’t you think about this when you were eating dog meat yesterday? You could just pick up any dead dog off the street and eat it.”

"What? Three...three people?"

Dong Dazhuo clearly didn't hear the second half of what he said.

The next moment.

vomit!

vomit!

He vomited again while holding the wooden basin, even bringing up bile, but his symptoms did not improve at all.

The others were in similar situations.

Guan Feng watched this scene unfold.

He shook his head helplessly.

These people are incredibly unlucky; they'll probably be traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Next.

Guan Feng asked someone to summon Dong Xiaohua.

Dong Dazhuo was clearly unable to cooperate.

The group went to the location where the discovery was made, but found nothing unusual.

The dog must have ingested a small amount of poison, which caused a slow, chronic poisoning, allowing it to wander into the village and die from the poison.

At this moment.

Chen Xuewen handed over the test results.

Guan Feng took it, glanced at it, and said, "Only these three people?"

Chen Xuewen adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and nodded, saying, "The two dogs found in the garbage dump yesterday, along with this stray dog, all have the same DNA components found in their bodies. At present, we can only determine that these are the three people!"

Guan Feng nodded.

This result is the only good news so far.

He looked at Huang Lili and said, "Call Captain Zheng. He's probably been waiting for this result for ages."

Huang Lili immediately dialed Zheng Yuandong's number.

The call was connected.

Zheng Yuandong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.

The case involving these three individuals is already a major one.

If another person's DNA were detected, even he, as the squadron leader, wouldn't be able to handle it.
