The two arrived at Zheng Yuandong's office.
When Zheng Yuandong heard what Guan Feng said, he was immediately surprised and said, "Release an electric eel? How big is it? Wouldn't that thing be able to electrocute someone?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's the point we're questioning right now!"
He handed over the report and explained, "These are the results of the test that Captain Chen just came up with. The child who died three days ago, although he drowned, had been subjected to electric shocks before his death, which is obviously impossible in other ways. I suspect that it was an electric eel that shocked him. This also corresponds to Li Yang's confession and is consistent with the surveillance video."
Zheng Yuandong suddenly realized, "No wonder! Water conducts electricity, and electric eels have virtually no chance in water. No wonder people have been getting into trouble one after another! That Liu Liang is so hateful!"
Guan Feng cautioned, "The most urgent task is to contact the reservoir management and prevent them from releasing water. These two eels weigh over 100 kilograms each, and if they enter the outer river basin, it will be even more difficult to catch them. The downstream of the Balihe Reservoir is the main irrigation canal, and if the water enters the farmland for irrigation, it will likely cause even greater impact."
Zheng Yuandong made a decisive decision: "Let's go, you come with me to report to Director Bai!"
Guan Feng nodded.
The two arrived at Director Bai's office.
Upon hearing this, and seeing the report in Chen Xuewen's hand, Director Bai frowned and asked, "How could such a thing happen? I will immediately contact the reservoir management. You must contact people to catch the fish as soon as possible and make sure no more lives are lost."
Guan Feng nodded.
They led the second group straight to the Balihe Reservoir.
......
Balihe Reservoir.
A figure was leaving from the dense forest.
The other party is a photographer from Hongcheng who usually likes to photograph mountains and forests, especially the Balihe Reservoir, where the terrain is relatively high and the scenery of water and sky is particularly beautiful.
He left the camera behind to take photos in advance and wait for post-production processing.
He was about to leave with the camera in his hand.
Guan Feng and his group saw this scene from the embankment.
Guan Feng's smart glasses have a zoom function, and he immediately spotted the camera in the other person's hand. He then asked Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, who is that person?"
Director Zhang glanced at the other person and shook his head, saying, "I don't know him, he's not from our unit."
Guan Feng then said to Zheng Yuandong, "Team Leader Zheng, that man has a camera. I'll go take a look."
Before Zheng Yuandong could speak, Director Zhang asked in surprise, "You can see clearly from this far away?"
Zheng Yuandong nodded and said, "Xiao Guan's eyesight is known throughout the bureau. If he says it exists, then it definitely exists."
At this moment, Guan Feng stepped forward, handed his identification to the other party, and explained, "Hello, I am a police officer from the Hongcheng Criminal Investigation Team. I'm here to investigate a case. You know about the three drowning cases at the Balihe Reservoir, right?"
The other person nodded and said, "I've heard about it. This is terrifying. How could something like this happen? Have you investigated it thoroughly?"
Guan Feng said, "According to our investigation, we have found some clues, but the reservoir's surveillance is lacking. I see that's a camera in your hand? Are you a photographer?"
The other person nodded and said, "That's right! I'm an outdoor photographer, and I usually enjoy taking pictures of outdoor scenery."
Guan Feng asked, "When was this video taken?"
The other person replied, "About a week ago."
Guan Feng said, "That's great, we'd like to take a look. Is it convenient? Don't worry, if it helps the case, we will apply for a good citizen award to recognize the evidence you provided."
The other party waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. You're just trying to protect everyone's safety. Here, take it and use it. Just return it to me when you're done." He then handed the relevant equipment to Guan Feng.
Guan Feng expressed his gratitude and then led the other party onto the embankment, where they observed the situation from the car.
Upon closer inspection!
It was discovered that the angle from which the photo was taken was exactly at the step.
Guan Feng rewound time to the morning of three days ago, patiently waiting for the protagonist to appear.
A short while later.
Liu Liang appeared in the shot.
He was wearing the pants shown in the video surveillance, which were still dry. He was pushing a blue rectangular plastic basin and slowly sliding down the steps. When he was halfway down, Liu Liang slipped, the blue basin slipped from his hands, and rolled down the steps with a splash. Two giant eels jumped out and splashed into the river.
The footage also shows that Liu Liang's pants were wet.
Guan Feng said excitedly, "That's great! With this video, we don't have to worry about Liu Liang denying it."
Zheng Yuandong said:
The most urgent task is to catch these two eels, while ensuring that no one goes into the water during this time.
Director Zhang also realized the seriousness of the situation and sighed, "I never expected Liu Liang to do such a thing. I will report to the higher authorities and request additional manpower for the salvage operation. The flood season is in a few days. If we can't catch them before then, we will have to open the sluice gates and release the water."
Next.
The incident was reported up the chain of command.
Not only the Bureau Chief and the Water Resources Department, but also the big boss of Hongcheng District received the news.
This is a matter of life and death.
Upon receiving the news, the big boss immediately took command and contacted three fishing teams to fish overnight. Finally, in the early morning, both eels were caught.
When they saw the giant electric eel, which was as tall as a person, everyone's expressions showed surprise.
"These are the two electric eels that were released?"
"This is huge! It looks like it could eat a person up."
"Who on earth is so bold as to release such an electric eel? Isn't that endangering people?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Upon seeing the electric eel, the big boss breathed a sigh of relief, but his anger was almost uncontrollable. He summoned Director Bai and Director Zhang from the reservoir management and asked, "What exactly happened? Someone released such a giant electric eel; this is tantamount to intentional murder!"
