Time passed slowly.
After the technical department tested the bloodstains in the soil, it was found that the bloodstains matched the DNA of the corpse, and the entire Second Squadron was mobilized.
Director Bai personally contacted the upstream reservoir management and asked them to temporarily stop releasing water and await further inspection.
Slowly.
The water source in Moon Bay gradually decreased, exposing the stone bed at the bottom of the river.
An hour later.
The stream was reduced to a shallow trickle of water.
Guan Feng said, "Director Bai, the water level is about right. I suggest we check it immediately!"
Director Bai nodded and said, "Xiao Guan, be careful."
Guan Feng nodded, strolled into the shallow stream, and began searching along the stone bed.
A moment later.
The water was less than 20 centimeters deep.
A dark green nylon rope came into view.
Guan Feng immediately squatted down and felt along the nylon rope, and saw the corner of the thin plastic bag that was pressed down by the boulder.
He said, "Captain Chen, we've found something here!"
Chen Xuewen rushed over immediately.
Use a cutter to remove the entire plastic bag.
Upon inspection and testing, some residual tissue was found inside the plastic bag, but the head was missing.
Guan Feng frowned and said, "Now it seems that the other party deliberately cut off the head and disposed of the body in order to mislead us and prevent us from discovering the suspect's identity."
Director Bai said, "Your analysis is correct! Xiao Guan, what do you think we should do next?"
Guan Feng pointed to the motorcycle tracks on the ground and said, "The first step is to check the nearby surveillance footage to see if a motorcycle appeared three days ago. The second step is that since the other party used a motorcycle to dump the body, it probably wasn't too far away. I suggest checking the surrounding villages to see if there are any missing persons."
At this moment, Director Bai had complete trust in Guan Feng and nodded, saying, "Guan Feng, you make the arrangements."
Guan Feng didn't waste any time and instructed, "Xiang Dong, you take Liu Shengguo to check the surveillance footage. Wang Xun, you and Huang Lili come with me to visit the surrounding villages."
They all nodded.
Guan Feng led his men to continue upstream.
The tire tracks from before!
The motorcycle came down a bend, so it's highly likely the other party came from upstream.
The vehicle traveled approximately one kilometer.
A pontoon bridge appeared before the three of them.
This is a famous scenic area upstream of Moon Bay.
The popular floating bridge has attracted many tourists to take photos and check in.
Guan Feng saw a market in front of the pontoon bridge, so he walked to a supermarket, where the three of them bought a bottle of water and chatted with the owner.
The boss, who was in his thirties, saw that the group of people were dressed and looked quite distinguished, so he smiled and replied.
Guan Feng asked, "Boss, is this place usually crowded?"
The shop owner nodded and said, "Yes, there are plenty! Of course there are. These people all like to come and take pictures."
Guan Feng asked, "So what time does your shop usually close?"
The shop owner said, "Usually around seven or eight o'clock, these tourists also go home."
Guan Feng asked, "Have any people gone missing in the village recently?"
The shopkeeper looked at Guan Feng and his two companions with surprise and asked, "You're not legitimate customers, are you?"
Guan Feng pulled out his police badge and said, "You noticed? We're police officers!"
The shopkeeper suddenly realized and said, "You're here to investigate that floating corpse case, right?"
Guan Feng asked, "You all know?"
The shopkeeper said, "How could I not know? The place is only so big, and the news has already spread to the surrounding villages."
Guan Feng asked, "So how did you spread the word?"
The shopkeeper said, "Everyone says that person died a terrible death, submerged in water for days, and became so fat that he was unrecognizable. Officer, is that true?"
Guan Feng asked, "Is there anything else?"
The boss thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "That's all."
Guan Feng was about to speak.
Ring ring!
Li Xiangdong called.
He explained over the phone that the surveillance footage from the night before last did indeed show a motorcycle, but it was late at night and the other party deliberately covered up the license plate so that the license plate number was not clearly visible.
However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, he discovered that the vehicle had originated from Xiaowang Village upstream.
Guan Feng looked up and glanced at the supermarket entrance.
Just now, when they turned into the supermarket, the street sign at the entrance said Xiaowang Village.
He hung up the phone, looked at his boss, and asked, "Is this security camera at your door installed 24 hours a day?"
The boss said, "That's right."
Guan Feng said, "We need to review the surveillance footage."
The boss said, "Okay, cooperating with the police investigation is our duty."
Guan Feng said, "Thank you for your cooperation!"
He then instructed Wang Xun to begin the investigation.
A moment later.
The group checked the time point that Li Xiangdong had mentioned.
Sure enough, a figure was spotted in the frame, riding a motorcycle and flashing past.
Guan Feng slowed down, but the camera wasn't capturing a very clear image; even at slower speeds, he could only vaguely make out the motorcycle's model.
Guan Feng frowned and said, "Judging from its appearance, it should be a black scooter. Wang Xun, notify Team Leader Zheng to conduct a thorough investigation of Xiaowang Village, focusing on this scooter."
"receive!"
Wang Xun walked to the side and dialed Zheng Yuandong's number.
A moment later, Zheng Yuandong arrived with his men.
He asked with a serious expression, "Xiao Guan, what happened?"
Guan Feng briefly reported on the case: "Just now... however, the camera footage was blurry, and due to the angle, we could only see traces of a motorcycle."
Zheng Yuandong stared at the screen and said, "Alright! Focus on investigating this motorcycle."
Next.
The group went door-to-door to visit each other.
It was almost noon.
Guan Feng, Wang Xun, and the others searched until they were starving, but found nothing.
They arrived at a noodle shop at the west end of the village.
Guan Feng said, "Eat a bowl of noodles first, then we'll talk."
Wang Xun patted his stomach and said, "I am indeed both thirsty and hungry."
Guan Feng ordered three bowls of noodles and three bottles of soda from the owner.
The owner, a man with a slight limp, bowed and scraped to the three men, saying, "Please wait a moment! I'll bring you noodles right away!" He then called to the inner room, "Finland, the guests want soft drinks, please bring them up."
The curtain was lifted, revealing the figure of a middle-aged woman. She was dressed in a fashionable and brightly colored outfit, and with her good figure, she could be considered a village beauty.
She smiled at the three of them and handed them three bottles of soda.
Guan Feng nodded and took it. Just as he was about to look away, he saw a scooter parked in the corner outside the courtyard wall.
The motorcycle was parked in the corner.
They hadn't noticed when they came in; the woman only realized it when she lifted the curtain.
Guan Feng subtly stepped on Wang Xun's foot and then placed the chopsticks towards the motorcycle.
Wang Xun's expression changed slightly after scanning the area.
He nodded to Guan Feng.
The three continued eating their noodles with their heads down.
After finishing his meal, Wang Xun suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot my things!"
Guan Feng asked, "What is it?"
Wang Xun said, "The leaders urgently need those documents."
Guan Feng said, "Then what should we do? It's so hard to get a taxi here. Where's this motorcycle owner? Ask him. If that doesn't work, leave your phone here and borrow a motorcycle to go back. The two of us will stay here and keep watch."
Wang Xun said, "Okay!"
