"It took Guo Jianan eight years to find the mastermind, but the mastermind had died of illness the year before. It can be said that the case was still classified as an unresolved case at that time."

Shijiu also said with a hint of regret. After all, the murderer had perfectly avoided pursuit and died of old age. Anyone with a sense of justice would not be happy to see this.

"I understand. I will try my best not to let Guo Jianan bear these burdens."

Lianyi nodded, then turned around, left the cemetery and returned to her single dormitory.

Because today is the funeral of her original master, she can take a day off and adjust her state.

Returning to the single building of the Criminal Investigation Team in her memory, Lianyi first changed out of her wet police uniform, then went to the public bathroom to take a shower, returned to the dormitory with only a single bed, a wardrobe and a table, and began to look through her original work records.

As a criminal investigator, I have the habit of taking work notes. Sometimes when I go out to visit, look for clues, or even when I have a sudden flash of inspiration, I will record them in my notes.

Lianyi carefully looked through the three work notebooks recorded by her original body. This was of great help to her, but there was no record of her master Guo Chengan's dismemberment case.

She only found out from the records a month ago that because the dismemberment case had a very bad social impact, the case was handed over to the master. Originally, she was going to help, but because it was close to the Spring Festival and theft cases occurred frequently, she was assigned to cooperate with the plainclothes police to catch thieves.

Because these criminals must be caught on the spot, and even the stolen goods must be seized. As long as they cannot hold the other party's hands down, they will argue that the wallet, mobile phone, etc. were picked up by themselves. As for the things obtained by breaking into the house, they will argue that someone gave them them at a second-hand price. At most, they are just trying to make a small profit.

So when Guo Cheng'an was investigating the dismemberment case, he was also cooperating with the plainclothes officers in the investigation. The two had met each other a few times in the police station. Every time he met the original body and wanted to ask a few more questions, he was directly sent away by his master, asking him to concentrate on the task at hand. The most taboo in investigating a case is to be indecisive, and he was also told to pay attention to safety.

Therefore, when he learned that his master might have been murdered or missing, he was completely confused and even thought that others were joking with him. Sometimes, due to the needs of handling cases, it is normal to track down a suspect for several days without reporting to the police station.

However, an old member of the Criminal Investigation Team said with certainty that Captain Guo had been murdered, because before that he received a strange phone call from someone who heard Captain Guo's voice, asking him to track the phone, and then the call was hung up.

But when they arrived at the place where the phone number last appeared, they found only blood all over the floor and nothing else. After forensic identification, the bloodstains belonged to Captain Guo, and based on the amount of bleeding at the scene, there was almost no possibility that Captain Guo was alive.

At this point, everyone in the Criminal Investigation Team held their breath and began to track down Guo Chengan, but what they found were scattered body parts. In the end, the head was not found. It was sent directly to the police station by the murderer. This was a great shame and humiliation for their Criminal Investigation Team.

But even if they had to track down the murderer, they had to bury the deceased captain first, so today's funeral took place, and it was at this time that Lianyi took over the other party's body.

After sorting out all the information, Lianyi rubbed his forehead, then picked up the empty thermos and prepared to get some hot water.

When walking past the old wardrobe, there was a mirror in the middle. Lianyi looked at herself and saw that the man in the mirror was about 1.79 meters tall, not short, about 26 years old, with a neat crew cut, delicate features, and a firm gaze. However, he had severe dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he had not gotten enough rest.

But Lianyi could understand. In order to retrieve their master's body, their entire team had been working almost non-stop. So after Lianyi came back with the water, she fell asleep directly. She wanted to get enough rest because starting tomorrow, she would officially take over her master's case.

Lianyi slept from six in the afternoon to six in the morning of the next day. After getting up, she followed her original habit and went downstairs to run three kilometers, did some boxing and worked up a sweat. Then she took a quick shower, changed her clothes, went to the unit cafeteria to have breakfast, and then went to the office of the Criminal Investigation Team.

The Criminal Investigation Team is on the second floor, in a large office. The captain's desk is in the corner near the window, separated by glass to make it convenient for the captain to talk to people privately. The rest of the space is made up of desks. It was obvious that he was the first to arrive.

Lianyi sat down in her seat first, then looked through the things on the original body's desk. There was a pile of file bags and an open notebook on the table with some things scribbled on it, and there were a few pens on the notebook.

Lianyi flipped through it and found nothing important, otherwise they would not be spread out on the table. She opened the drawer and saw only some biscuits and instant noodles, which were obviously food for staying up late.

Then Lianyi began to look through the pile of file bags on the table. These were all records of missing people. They were also taken directly from the master's desk by the original body, because he felt that there must be clues in them, but he did not find the master's work notes, otherwise he would have made more discoveries.

When Lianyi was halfway through the missing persons record on the table, a small group of colleagues came into the office one after another. They were not surprised to see Lianyi, who had arrived early in the morning.

Deputy Captain Zhao Fengnian was the last to come in. When he saw that all the team members were present, he clapped his hands and said:

"Everyone, please take note. Our team's new captain has not been appointed yet. The bureau has asked me to take over for a while. We are all in the same team. Everything remains the same. Those who have cases on hand will continue. I have told the squadron that our team will not take on new cases for the time being."

After Lianyi heard this, she spoke directly:

"Deputy Captain Zhao, we will investigate the old captain's case ourselves."

"Yeah, that's what I meant. Since everyone is here, let's get together and talk about our ideas."

Zhao Fengnian said.

The people in the office had no objection. They took the notebooks and went to the old captain's office. They usually held meetings and discussed cases here, but the old captain was no longer there.

Sun Shanshan, the office clerk, had already spread out the meeting record book and asked the ten people in the team to sign in one by one. When the record sheet was returned to her, Lianyi was the first to speak and break the silence.

"My master's death must be related to the case he is investigating. The murderer killed my master and dismembered his body and discarded it in the same way as the dismemberment case he is investigating."

"When Captain Guo disappeared, I had already reviewed all the dismemberment cases he had on hand, but found no useful clues."

Bai Yuning rubbed his brows and talked about his progress.

He is also a veteran of the Criminal Investigation Team. He is in his early thirties and has been in the Criminal Investigation Team longer than his original self.

"What about the others? Any progress?"

Zhao Fengnian asked. (End of this chapter)
