Guan Feng asked, "What forty-eight hours?"
Hu Mingfa laughed and said, "You don't know yet? Since you were transferred to our Hongcheng branch, no case, no matter how complicated, has been solved in more than 48 hours. So now you have a nickname, Guan Forty-Eight!"
Guan Feng laughed and said, "How could it be so exaggerated? The people below are spreading rumors. Lao Hu, don't spread them. By the way, Lao Hu, you're from the north of the city, which is close to the Balihe Reservoir. What was your first impression of this missing person case you're investigating?"
Hu Mingfa clicked his tongue and said, "How should I put it? I just feel it's mysterious!"
Guan Feng asked, "Is it mysterious?"
Hu Mingfa nodded and said, "Yes, the Balihe Reservoir has flowing water, and many people go swimming there every summer. I've even gone swimming there myself. As for the idea that someone can drown in it, I don't really believe it."
Guan Feng asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hu Mingfa said, "There's a saying that drowning people are all good swimmers. Actually, that's a bit of a survivor bias.

I've been to the Balihe Reservoir a few times and found that the reservoir has been built around it and the water depth inside is about two or three meters. As long as you're careful, it's hard for people to drown."
Guan Feng nodded upon hearing this and said, "I've noticed that too. I checked past cases and found that only one person drowned in the Balihe Reservoir five years ago. This time, three people drowned in three consecutive days, and the bodies of two of them have not been found. It's really strange."
Hu Mingfa said, "That's why I found it strange and thought it should be reported to your criminal investigation team, since you are the professionals."
Guan Feng said, "Let's go! Let's go to the reservoir and check the situation."
