What happened next left everyone present speechless!

A group of turtles were seen lining up and surfacing.

Each one had an item in its mouth, either a glove or a shoe cover!

Several large fish also helped from behind, using their heads to push the evidence toward the shore.

A short while later, on the shore, two pairs of gloves and two pairs of shoe covers were neatly laid out on the ground, and all eight pieces of evidence were present.

This "special search team" composed of fish and turtles was incredibly efficient, completing in half an hour a task that would take a professional salvage team a whole day!

Xia Zhining scattered all the bait she brought into the lake as a sincere thank you to the little guys.

Zhang Xian's legs went weak, and he could barely stand.

The old woman's vision went black, and she cried out in shock, "This is a ghost! How could this be?!"

The Yuncheng police officers who were watching were dumbfounded, and some couldn't help but exclaim:

"My God, why bother hiring a salvage team anymore!"

"Expert Xia, have you considered setting up a professional animal salvage team? That would be incredibly efficient!"

...

The laboratory staff quickly stepped forward and carefully placed all the evidence into a sealed bag, ready to send it to the laboratory for DNA testing immediately.

Xia Zhining looked up at Ji Shuyun: "Brother, can these gloves and shoe covers that have been soaked in lake water still be used as valid evidence?"

Ji Shuyun took the evidence bag: "The lake water will indeed damage the fingerprints on the surface of the gloves, but it cannot destroy the more crucial DNA information."

He explained carefully: "Even after soaking, as long as these items are not completely rotten, we can extract biological samples such as skin cells and sweat shed by the wearer from inside the gloves."

"At the same time, the victim's DNA, such as skin tissue or traces of blood, may still remain on the outside of the gloves."

“Not only that,” Ji Shuyun added, “the fibers of the gloves and shoe covers will also be firmly attached to the dust and mold unique to the inner wall of the chimney, and may even contain fibers from the deceased’s clothing.”

“These trace pieces of physical evidence, when linked together, can completely reconstruct the entire chain of evidence from suspect to glove to body to crime scene.”

Ji Shuyun's professional explanation turned the old lady and Zhang Xian, who already had little knowledge of the law, pale instantly.

Although the DNA test results are not yet available, the two pairs of gloves and shoe covers retrieved from the lake have preliminarily confirmed the police's earlier judgment.

The old woman was not the only one who hid the body.

The identity of the other accomplice is now self-evident.

Feline lunged forward, grabbing Zhang Xian's collar tightly, her voice trembling with anger: "What exactly happened? Why did you drag Grandma into this?!"

Her eyes were red, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Why did you let your nearly eighty-year-old grandmother dispose of the body for the crimes you committed?"

Have you lost your conscience?!

Zhang Xian frantically waved his arms: "I really didn't kill him! I just... I just helped hide the body!"

Feline looked at the old lady in disbelief: "Grandma, how could you...?"

"I did it," the old woman said, her head bowed, her voice barely audible.

Feline's eyes instantly reddened: "Even at this point, are you still going to protect him?"

The old lady averted her gaze with guilt and finally told the truth.

It turns out that a month ago, a developer took a liking to this villa and contacted the old lady.

They want to develop the lake and mountain views surrounding the villas and build a golf club, and they are offering extremely high prices.

The old lady told her grandson Zhangxian the news, but not Feilin.

Feline has a deep affection for the house that her parents designed and funded, and given her own business success, there is no way she would agree to sell it.
