Almost as soon as Ma Tai appeared, everyone turned to look at him.
"What was the result?"
Are there any differences in body shape?
"What exactly is going on? Old Ma, why aren't you saying anything?"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, some eager to know the final result.
Ma Tai, however, stared at Guan Feng as if he had seen a ghost, examining him closely while reporting, "Hey Captain, where did you find this amazing person? These physical indicators aren't just different, they're practically identical! Look for yourselves!"
He then handed the document to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong took it, glanced at it, and frowned.
Name: Li Tao!
Age: 40!
Height: 170 cm!
Weight: 132 pounds!
Other characteristics: Limping in the right leg.
This almost completely corroborates Guan Feng's earlier judgment.
He asked with some surprise, "Xiao Guan, who taught you footprint identification?"
Guan Feng said, "I just made things up by myself the past two years."
Seeing Guan Feng's response, Zhang Yong stopped pressing the matter and said seriously, "Based on this physical examination, Li Tao is almost certainly a suspect. We'll dig three feet into the ground to find the evidence. Ma Tai, you lead the interrogation team and see if we can make a breakthrough. Wang Yang, you come with me to search the entire pig farm. I refuse to believe he can eliminate all the clues..."
There are no coincidences without a reason!
If Zhang Yong had only been skeptical before, when Guan Feng presented his deductive data, there was only one possibility—Li Tao was the murderer.
No matter how absurd this inference may seem.
He briefly gave instructions on the direction of the investigation, then looked at Guan Feng and said, "Xiao Guan, you've been working hard all day. Take a rest and wait for our results."
Guan Feng nodded and sat down in the car to rest.
Half an hour later.
While Li Tao was still trying to deny it, Zhang Yong led Wang Yang to find used poison bottles in the abandoned feed plant of the pig farm.
Zhang Yong immediately took Li Tao into custody for questioning.
Li Tao tried to argue, but Zhang Yong said directly, "Li Tao, we have found the poison bottle you used to poison the feed mill!"
Li Tao's face turned deathly pale as he exclaimed, "That...that's not mine! How could it be in my house? This is a frame-up! Someone is definitely framing me!"
Zhang Yong said coldly, "Do you think we police are fools? We've already extracted fingerprints from the bottle opening, and they match yours perfectly!"
Li Tao's expression completely changed.
Zhang Yong asked, "Still not going to confess?"
Li Tao hesitated for a moment, feeling completely at a loss.
A moment later, with a mournful face, he began to confess.
According to him, the reason he poisoned his own pigs was because pork prices had recently dropped, falling by more than 30% in just one month. However, he had bought his piglets at a high price, and including costs, his pig farm was actually losing money.
In addition, due to the hot weather, several pigs got sick and died, and the insurance company compensated him for the price of the pork according to the agreement.
This gave him a clue: he might be able to defraud insurance companies by poisoning them.
Since starting his pig farm, he has always taken out livestock insurance for his pigs. He receives compensation for any diseases, pests, or other problems that occur, and the compensation is based on the agreed price at the time of signing the contract.
Unexpectedly, on his first attempt at poisoning, he lacked experience and added too much poison, killing so many people before realizing the seriousness of the situation and trying to cover it up.
"I really didn't expect this! I... I just wanted to poison the pigs and collect some insurance money. I didn't mean to harm anyone."
Li Tao spoke with a mournful face.
Zhang Yong frowned and asked, "If these pigs were poisoned, why did they end up in the market?"
Li Tao fell silent, only confessing under Zhang Yong's questioning gaze: "I... I was thinking that insurance only guarantees the principal, so if I sold it, I could make some more money..."
Zhang Yong's expression darkened completely, and he roared, "Make more money? Do you think we're easy to fool? So many people have been poisoned, and you say you didn't think of that? You're an adult, how could you not know the effects of the drug? How could you not know the consequences of this pork entering the market? I think you're both stupid and wicked!"
Zhang Yong was so angry that he didn't even want to scold him.
The initial cause of such a sensational case was actually just to defraud some insurance money?
He didn't know how to explain this to the public.
If it were a truly vicious poisoner, he would want to shoot him dead on the spot.
But the other party is both stupid and wicked?
This made Zhang Yong's punch feel like he was hitting cotton.
He said angrily, "Organize the evidence! Don't miss any details, including how Li Tao bought the poison. This case must be airtight and withstand public scrutiny. You guys solidify the case, and I'll report to the leadership."
"yes!"
Ma Tai and the others immediately nodded.
Zhang Yong then walked to the side and dialed his superior's number.
A moment later, he finished his call and came back, gave a few more instructions on how to finish things up, and then went to his car to visit Guan Feng.
The fact that Guan Feng provided the footprint clues that enabled the case to be solved within a day was crucial, even providing the most critical direction for the investigation.
......
On the bus.
Guan Feng is exchanging ideas with two footprint identification experts from the province.
His ability to identify footprints was already at the provincial level, and with the added enhancement from the smart glasses, his skill level was definitely above that of the two experts.
At this moment, a few words of guidance were offered, and both senior experts looked as if they had benefited greatly.
When Zhang Yong arrived.
This was precisely the moment when the two veteran experts were most convinced.
Old Li sighed and said, "I've never admired anyone in my life, but Xiao Guan's footprint identification has surpassed his predecessors. It's no exaggeration to say that no one in our provincial department is as good as him. If he doesn't pass, who can? I think he deserves to be sent to the ministry for expert evaluation!"
Zhang Yong smiled and looked at Old Wang, asking, "So, Old Wang, what's your opinion?"
Old Wang laughed and said, "What other opinions could I possibly have? Xiao Guan's footprint identification skills are even better than mine. I think we're really getting old."
Old Li chuckled and replied, "Isn't that right? A young man in his twenties with such skill makes me ashamed. I didn't understand the intricacies of footprint identification until I was forty. Xiao Guan, if you have time, you could share the secrets of footprint identification with everyone. Perhaps it will be helpful to them."
Guan Feng said, "I have no problem with that, but I'm afraid of wasting everyone's time. Good eyesight is essential for this job."
Old Li laughed and said, "There are so many young people in our department. Maybe one or two of them have good eyesight? Old Wang and I are both running out of energy. We hope you can mentor these young people and help them improve. We'll need your help to solve cases in the future."
Guan Feng said, "Since Elder Li has spoken, I have no choice but to accept the offer."
Old Li smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll see when I have time to give these arrogant young people a lesson."
Zhang Yong laughed and said, "Old Li, that's great!"
