Guan Feng stood on the embankment.
Looking along both sides of the dike, one can see that the long dike stretches like a dragon, not only isolating the outer Hongcheng Lake, but also forming a pond-like backflow zone in the inner area.
This is the estuary of Luoxia Bay.
The water flow can easily carry things here and then they won't leave.
This is also why the bodies are floating here.
Guan Feng looked at the surveillance cameras on both sides of the road, then looked around and instructed, "Xiang Dong, contact the monitoring center and retrieve the nearby surveillance footage first. Check the surrounding situation and tentatively decide to check the footage from within the last 24 hours. Wang Xun, take some people to visit and check for missing persons and see if anyone has reported it to the police nearby."
"At the same time, all units should take note and wait for further test results from Team Leader Chen."
"receive!"
"receive!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone got busy with their own tasks.
Guan Feng then said to Huang Lili, "Get in the car!"
Huang Lili asked, "Captain, what are we going to do?"
Guan Feng said, "I just heard those two fishermen say that the backflow here is special. Let's walk along the dike and see where the current flows down here. Maybe we can find something."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
He got into the car, sat in the front passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt.
Guan Feng drove along the embankment road.
Since the body was carried downstream, it must have gone upstream and floated down from some section of the river upstream.
Guan Feng drove his car, making several turns, and soon arrived at the inner river section of the ancient town with Huang Lili in tow.
Guan Feng looked at the clear river: "I didn't expect the water over there to be drawn from here! That's the sluice gate up ahead, right? It should be cut off from there, which means the body disposal point should be this section of the road from the sluice gate!"
Huang Lili reminded her, "Captain, look, there's a bridge over there. It would be an excellent spot to dump a body, wouldn't it?"
Guan Feng glanced over and nodded, saying, "It does seem like a good location!"
Huang Lili asked, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Although Guan Feng didn't think the suspect would dump the body in such an obvious place, he couldn't refuse Huang Lili's enthusiasm since she had spoken up. Besides, investigating a case did require this kind of rigorous and meticulous attitude, so he turned the steering wheel and drove over.
Squeak!
The car was parked on the side of the road.
The two got out of the car and walked to the bridge.
Guan Feng initially only intended to do a simple check, since no one would dump a body in such an obvious place.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
Because there was a little bit of crimson on the steps by the roadside!
He frowned, stepped forward, squatted down and looked at her for a while, then said to Huang Lili, "Lili! You might actually have done a great service this time!"
Huang Lili asked, "Captain, could it be such a coincidence? This is the victim's blood?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Whether it is or not, we'll have to wait for Captain Chen to check. But there shouldn't be bloodstains like this on a road like this. It doesn't look like it's been there for a long time. Let's wait for Captain Chen to arrive. Until then, we'll block off this road."
Then I looked at both sides of the road.
This is an internal road passage, and the bridge is not long, only about five or six meters long. There are no surveillance cameras at either end, which poses a risk to the team's investigation.
Guan Feng instructed, "Call Captain Chen and ask him to send two technicians over. Tell them that bloodstains have been found here and need to be compared and verified to see if they are the victim's bloodstains."
Huang Lili immediately replied, "Okay."
Call Chen Xuewen.
The two waited in place for a moment.
Chen Xuewen personally led a team to come over.
Squeak!
The vehicle was parked directly on the side of the road.
Guan Feng asked, "Old Chen, what brings you here? How's the body?"
Chen Xuewen said, "The body is so badly damaged that there's not much we can do at the scene. We can only take it back for a slow autopsy and examination. I came over to see what the situation is like here."
Guan Feng explained briefly: "We just came up the river and arrived here. Huang Lili thought this might be a body dumping site, so we came to check it out. Unexpectedly, we found some bloodstains by the roadside. Can you test them to see if they are the victim's?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuewen looked at Huang Lili and laughed, "Well done, Lili! You've been working with Captain Guan for a while now, you've improved so quickly!"
Huang Lili said somewhat embarrassedly, "No way! I just thought it might be possible here, so I came to take a look. It was Captain Guan who found the bloodstains."
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't be modest! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have come to check. Come on, let's test the bloodstains first and see if it's from the same person! Old Chen, this bloodstain test is faster than other tests, right?"
Chen Xuewen said, "Of course! It just takes a few minutes with an instrument, and the results will be available in half an hour at most."
Guan Feng said, "In that case, let's begin."
Chen Xuewen called his team members to the roadside, took out gloves, and carefully extracted the bloodstains using special reagents. They then placed the bloodstains into a specially made container and put them into the instrument in the van for testing.
Chen Xuewen asked, "Captain Guan, I don't see any surveillance cameras on either side of this bridgehead?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "This road should be the inner road. I checked when I came here earlier, and there are very few surveillance cameras in this area, not just on both sides of the bridge."
Chen Xuewen asked, "So how do you plan to investigate?"
Guan Feng said, "First, we need to confirm if it's the victim's blood! Once confirmed, we'll use this as a reference to expand the search area and identify any passing vehicles as suspects. The body of an adult male is not something an ordinary person could move; it's most likely transported by car! We'll check passing vehicles first."
Huang Lili asked, "Should I call Xiang Dong?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Call Xiang Dong and tell him to stay in the monitoring center. Also, check the surveillance footage around here. What's the name of this bridge? Tonghe Bridge, right? Tell him we're coming right away! Tell him to bring up all the surveillance footage around Tonghe Bridge and wait!"
"yes!"
Huang Lili nodded, dialed Li Xiangdong's number, and conveyed Guan Feng's request to him.
Li Xiangdong immediately said he would investigate the matter thoroughly.
Guan Feng then drove Huang Lili to the monitoring center to meet up with Li Xiangdong.
On the road.
He called Wang Xun.
There are still no results from Wang Xun's side. Through investigation of nearby villages, police stations, and police posts, no similar reports have been received recently, and no one in the surrounding area has heard of any missing persons.
Guan Feng then informed the other party of the latest news.
After hearing this, Wang Xun asked in surprise, "Lily found out? That's great, you have to give her a verbal reward when we meet later!"
Guan Feng glanced at Huang Lili, who was driving, and laughed, "I think we shouldn't just talk about it. After this case is finished, we should allocate more of the team's bonus to Lili. We must boost her enthusiasm. She'll be just as capable as any man in the future!"
Wang Xun smiled and said okay.
Huang Lili said, "Captain, isn't this a bit much?"
Guan Feng said, "How is that an exaggeration? You're the one primarily responsible for discovering the clues. What's a little reward compared to that? Just keep it in your pocket."
Huang Lili said okay and started driving with peace of mind.
