Guan Feng asked, "German?"
Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Yes! It's German."
Guan Feng considered carefully before saying, "I guess you could say I understand."
Zhao Dong glanced at Guan Feng and earnestly reminded him, "Xiao Guan, don't be modest or hide your abilities. There's a case here. Tell me the truth, how does your German compare to your English?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Feng frankly replied, "They're about the same."
Zhao Dong was taken aback for a moment, then helplessly pointed at him and said, "You! I was just about to ask the Foreign Languages ​​Department to find a translator, but you, instead, were hiding it from me?"
Guan Feng said, "Captain, I didn't know what was going on. I was afraid of disappointing you and embarrassing you, the branch commander."
Zhao Dong explained, "It's a case involving a Sino-German joint venture in the development zone. It involves foreign investment. The development zone has submitted the case to the Major Crimes Unit. Since you understand German, why don't you, Third Squad, go and handle it?"
Guan Feng said, "It's fine, but I wonder if the other two squadrons will have any objections?"
"Any objections?"
Zhao Dong scoffed, "Then they'd have to understand German too, right?"
He patted Guan Feng on the shoulder again and said, "Focus on handling the case. Don't worry about anything else. The reorganization of the Major Crimes Team is inevitable. You've worked with Zheng Yuandong before. What do you think of him? Can you give him more responsibilities?"
Guan Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked, "Captain, what do you mean?"
Zhao Dong said, "Treat it as an option. Just tell the truth and don't feel guilty."
Guan Feng would naturally speak well of his former leader, saying, "Captain Zheng has no problem with ability and responsibility; the only thing to consider is whether he is willing to come."
Zhao Dong said, "This hasn't been decided yet, so we haven't consulted anyone. You shouldn't tell him yet."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Understood."
Liu Shengguo and the others were stunned.
Zhao Dong said not to say it, but three or four people over there heard it. Should he say it or not? Or was the squad leader trying to use them to spread the word and wait for Captain Zheng to come and advocate for him?
......
Development zone.
Deliqin Switchgear Company.
This is a company that specializes in making switches for high-power electrical equipment. These high-power switches have very high technical requirements and are one of the advanced manufacturing companies introduced by Hua'an City.
Last night.
A foreign executive at Deloitte was found dead at his home.
This morning, during the routine morning meeting, the executive named Schulmer did not attend. When the German representative called him but he did not answer, the company's personal secretary went to the apartment building to check and found blood on the doorknob.
He immediately reported to the company president.
On the president's advice, he immediately called the police.
When the police arrived at the scene, they found that Schulmer was already dead.
Guan Feng briefly briefed Guan Feng on the case in the car, then said, "This involves a foreign-invested enterprise and is also a case of personal injury or death. I don't need to emphasize the specific precautions, do I?"
Gao Dacheng and Liu Shengguo both expressed their views on behalf of the team:
"Understood. Do more and talk less!"
"We must complete the case investigation with a more rigorous and meticulous attitude!"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "The people from the development zone are on site now. We'll go to the apartment building to check the situation first."
After giving a few simple instructions, the vehicle slowly drove into the development zone.
A short while later.
A series of detached villas appeared before the group.
After showing their police identification, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of Villa No. 9 without any obstruction.
As Guan Feng and his group got out of the car, they saw that the scene had already been cordoned off. The police officers from the development zone on duty were waiting outside the cordon. When they saw Guan Feng, they immediately walked up to him and said, "You must be Captain Guan?"
Guan Feng looked at the other person and asked, "Do you know me?"
The other person said, "The commendation notice just issued by the department is a first-class merit award for an individual. It's a great honor for Hua'an. Who doesn't know it?"
Guan Feng said, "That's all just talk. Tell me what's going on on the ground."
The other party began to explain the situation.
Schulmer lived alone in this two-story villa. He was found dead in his living room this morning; the scene was gruesome.
Listening to this, Guan Feng asked, "You called the police this morning after finding bloodstains on the doorknob?"
The officer on duty said, "Yes, after we arrived at the scene, we sealed and protected the relevant traces, and are waiting for further analysis and extraction by the technical department."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Since the other party was able to leave bloodstains on the doorknob, they are probably not a repeat offender."
Gao Dacheng added, "They lack counter-surveillance awareness, and may even be committing their first crime. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left the bloodstains on the doorknob untouched. However, we can't rule out the possibility that it was a riot. Captain, should we check the surveillance footage?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Take Zheng Hua to retrieve the surveillance footage. We'll tentatively use the time from the development zone as the standard, and then we'll discuss the more detailed time once Lao Wang arrives."
"receive!"
Gao Dacheng immediately took Zheng Hua over.
Guan Feng then looked at Huang Lili and said, "Call Lao Wang and tell him to come over directly."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
Guan Feng then said to Liu Shengguo and the others, "Let's go in and take a look."
The group followed Guan Feng to the entrance of the villa.
Guan Feng saw the bright red bloodstains on the doorknob.
He crouched down and examined the doorknob closely. It was the inside handle, most likely left by the murderer when he fled after the killing.
Based on the situation at the time, and the direction the other party was holding the doorknob... Guan Feng didn't find anything amiss. He took the shoe covers and gloves handed to him by the police officer on duty, put them on, and then led the group inside.
As soon as he entered the room, Guan Feng smelled a pungent stench of blood.
He looked at the police officers in the development zone who were investigating the scene and said, "Why is there such a strong smell of blood?"
The officer sighed and said, "The killer severed the artery with a kitchen knife, and the victim's blood splattered all over the living room. It was difficult for us to clean up, so the room smelled quite bad."
Looking at Huang Lili who was following behind, he said, "I suggest that this female comrade should not go in."
Guan Feng looked at Huang Lili and instructed her, "Lili, go and accompany Dacheng to review the surveillance footage."
Huang Lili said, "Captain, I want to get some training."
Guan Feng glanced at Huang Lili, nodded and said, "Okay! But don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, just leave. You're an office worker, no one will laugh at you."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
The group turned through the entryway and entered the living room.
Guan Feng frowned immediately upon seeing the bloody scene unfolding before him.
Even veteran criminal investigators like Liu Shengguo couldn't help but feel nauseous.
As for Huang Lili... she had just been so determined to challenge herself, but now she's run to the side, picked up a plastic bag, and started vomiting.
