Loxin Amusement Park
When Gao Wenwen heard this, he looked at the bag in stunned silence for a moment, then he took a half step back as if frightened, and his outstretched fingers were trembling.
"Wait, why is there red in there? It can't be blood, right? Could there be a body hidden there?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
In order to determine the truth of this statement, many people rushed over with greater interest than before, and a circle formed around taking photos and videos.
Originally, there was only a small door at the entrance to enter the carousel, which was used for tourists to queue up and enter, and also served to maintain order.
Now it is almost impossible to squeeze in, and even outside the railings there is a layer of people standing with their heads perked up.
However, most of these people are adults. Even if the news is uncertain, parents still don't let their children have the opportunity to see any adverse images.
At this time, a man with a righteous look and a square face walked out of the crowd. He was carrying a large schoolbag on his back, which should be filled with supplies for his family's visit to the amusement park.
After talking to his wife next to him for a few words, he took off his schoolbag and put it on the ground.
"Please move aside, those in front. I'll go in and observe the situation."
He did not make his identity clear, but judging from his upright demeanor when walking, one could tell that he was probably a person of relatively high social status.
Maybe they are criminal investigators or medical practitioners.
Everyone spontaneously made way for it, wanting to know what was inside, but they didn't have the courage to look.
There were too many people, and the staff shouted at the top of their lungs to maintain order, but it was of no use. They had to give up and wait for the security guards patrolling the park to come and appease the tourists.
The security guards who were closer to this side were rushing over here, and a person wearing a black hat could be seen in the distance.
The security guards acted quickly. Although there had never been such a riot before, they conducted regular emergency drills. Now they went straight to the front of the crowd and held each other's arms to prevent anyone from moving forward.
"Big brother, you are so capable, come and see what is inside?"
The man with the backpack nodded, bent his knees and squatted down. He didn't have gloves with him to block his view, so he just walked over carefully to check.
Although the smell of the chemical agent was previously well masked by the sculpture's shell, a faint odor can still be smelled after it was seen by the light of day again today.
Some medicines have unique effects in themselves, and professionals can know what the effects are in the shortest time possible.
Looking at the man's somewhat solemn expression, Gao Wenwen's expression became even uglier.
"No, I was just saying it casually. Is there really a corpse in here?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I can't rule out this possibility." The backpack man took out his cell phone and sent out several messages in succession, as if notifying someone to come over.
"What's going on in there?" The onlookers noticed the change in Gao Wenwen's expression and were eager to know what happened.
Gao Wenwen glanced around a few times and said, "I don't know. It feels like a big deal. I guess it's related to human life."
In the crowd, the four people watching the show stood out from the tourists next to them.
Shi Yan stood with her arms folded. "Xiao Gao's acting is getting better and better. After he graduates, he might even be able to develop in this profession. He looks quite energetic, but he sometimes looks a little silly."
She twisted her wrist when she was dealing with Cai Li's men just now, and is now slowly turning it to relieve the pain.
After going out... Ding Can lowered her eyes. She just felt inexplicably confused about the road ahead.
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Yan didn't hear her and turned her head to look.
"It's okay..." Not wanting her to worry, Ding Can forced a smile, "I'm just wondering when I can complete the dungeon."
The time should be approaching, probably after Cai Li’s evil deeds are exposed.
Shi Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Come to think of it, with all the commotion going on here, the news should have spread to the central square."
Maybe Cai Li is racking his brains to think of how to avoid being exposed.
Gao Wenwen retired after completing his mission, and returned to the crowd mumbling something. Some people asked him questions, and he just answered them perfunctorily. No one else asked any more questions.
He was tall and glanced at the phone of a tourist next to him. "Someone has already posted this online."
In today's world where the Internet is so developed, even trivial matters can cause a stir online, let alone news like someone might be hiding a body in an amusement park.
More and more people paid attention to it, and it soon caused a sensation, with more and more people posting comments to it.
In order to preserve the integrity of the evidence, the man with the backpack did not try to pull out the nylon bag inside, but instead looked through the corners to see if there was any relatively obvious evidence left on it.
Just now, Gao Wenwen was just trying to attract other people's attention. In fact, Cheng Nuoxin died of suffocation, so there would certainly be no bloodstains on the surface of the bag.
He could roughly make out the shape of the things inside the nylon bag. He reached out and tried to feel the lines inside, and his heart sank even more.
As the smell of decay wafted into my nose, I was basically sure what was inside.
While I was shocked, I also thought about what would be involved next, which I was afraid would not be something that could be easily brushed aside.
Amusement parks don't undergo renovations very often, so they should be easy to trace.
Someone stretched out his neck outside the railing and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
There are more people watching now than before. The security guard is in a hurry and it is easy to attract attention, so some tourists follow him.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the scene seemed even more difficult to control than before.
The news spread forward in a small area and finally reached the central square.
Reporters began to notice that their keen professional sense allowed them to quickly grasp the general development of the matter.
Now that the leader is in front of me, isn’t this the best opportunity to obtain first-hand evidence?
On the podium, the head teacher was listening to the person in front of him speaking on the side stage. Suddenly, a staff member appeared next to him and whispered something in his ear.
He had just heard half of it when his expression changed. Just as he was thinking of leaving the scene without anyone noticing, a sharp-eyed reporter blocked his way.
"Director, I heard there was a suspected murder in the amusement park. Have you heard of this before?"
In fact, it is a strange question to ask, and you won’t get any positive answer if you think about it.
"I haven't heard of it. I have some business to attend to, so I'll leave first. Xiao Wang, please entertain my journalist friends for me."
The headmaster waved his hand, but glanced in surprise at Cai Li who was speaking on the stage.
I took over midway and can be sure that no changes occurred during my tenure. The only possible situation was that it was before he became the principal.
In other words, it is more likely that Cai Li knew about it, or that it was carried out under his instructions.
Besides, the old director has reminded us more than once that the carousel should be kept as it is.
He left in a hurry, with beads of sweat dripping down his face as he walked quickly. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was a big deal that someone had died within his jurisdiction.
Maybe it will have a great impact on your future career.
On the other side, Cai Li had just finished his speech when he noticed that something was wrong underground. The reporters were ready to move and seemed to be not very concerned about the situation here.
Some of them even left their seats and headed in other directions of the park.
He was puzzled and thought about what had just happened. He was thinking of asking his men whether they had dealt with those suspicious young men.
But when I called and there was no response, I realized I had hit a wall.
From the conversations between several reporters at the scene, he had roughly guessed what had happened.
But he was not at the end of his rope yet. After searching in the address book for a while, he made another call.
Before long, cameras and microphones were set up outside the carousel, and even flashlights were flashing one after another.
The park security guard simply raised his hand in front of the camera and reminded him, "Hello, sir, you are not allowed to take pictures of our equipment without permission."
Such a reminder is just better than nothing, and they can't control all tourists who raise their mobile phones.

Outside the amusement park, several police cars entered the parking lot in a low-key manner through the internal passage without honking their sirens.
After the car stopped, several police officers got out. One of the cars was carrying a forensic doctor wearing a police uniform and a white coat, who was carrying a box and heading towards the carousel.
The park began to broadcast an announcement stating that due to force majeure, it would stop receiving visitors today, and all related fees incurred by tourists who had already entered the park would be refunded later.
A cordon was set up around the carousel, and with the intervention of the police, tourists had no choice but to leave the park.
Ding Can and his group waited to know the result and found a place to hide in a familiar way.
After the police took photos and records, their colleagues assisted each other in moving the nylon bag out and placing it on the open space nearby.
The forensic doctor took over and first examined the substance that seeped out of the nylon bag again.
Over time, these chemicals slowly escaped from the bag, and many of them adhered to the surface of the bag and the zipper.
If you want to pull it apart now, you have to melt this layer of solidified material first.
After finding the corresponding testing reagents from the box and applying and dissolving the reagents, the bag that had been covered in dust for many years was finally unzipped again.
The forensic doctor wore white gloves and moved very slowly during the pulling process for fear of destroying any clues.
However, only a small hole was opened, and we just needed to confirm that there was indeed a corpse inside, and not something that would cause confusion.
As for the subsequent research, it will be completed in the police station's forensic room.
The body had already shown signs of decay over the years, so the face could not be identified.
But listening to the forensic doctor's description, he said that judging from the condition of the deceased's bones and the remaining physical condition, the deceased was a woman in her twenties.
The police were taking simple notes at the scene. If we were to talk about the current structure of the amusement park, the person who should know the most and who could understand it best would be the current director.
"Has any repair work been done to the carousel in recent years?"
The director wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head. Seeing with his own eyes the body being turned over and stuffed into that narrow bag, no one would remain calm.
He often went around the park for inspections and had walked here countless times, but he never thought that a body could be buried here for so many years.
"Since I took over, I've renovated all the facilities in the park, big and small, but this carousel has remained unchanged."
The young policeman held up a small notebook and wrote: "How long is your term?"
The length of the director's term and the time of death of the body can lead to the conclusion that, excluding accidents, the incident happened before he took over.
"I think that's right, Officer. You have to find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a huge loss for our amusement park."
The man with the backpack stood up at this time. He was the captain of the city's criminal police team. Today was his hard-earned vacation. He had already made an appointment with his daughter to go to the amusement park, but he didn't expect to be delayed by work again.
Now that the mother has left with the child, I will probably have to coax her for a while when I go back home in the evening.
"When I was young, I heard about a famous missing person case in the city. Despite all the manpower and financial resources, the missing person could not be found. I remember the headmaster's name at the time was Cai Li, right?"
The captain continued, "Didn't his wife disappear many years ago, and no trace of her has been found?"
The head teacher had some guesses in his mind, but without any evidence, he couldn't just say it out loud.
"Director Cai's wife did disappear many years ago, but this can't be her."
He spoke frankly, "From what I know, this couple was very much in love when they were young. You can tell from the name of the amusement park. If he didn't really hold her dear to his heart, why would he name it after her?"
The captain's eyes flickered, his professional vigilance resurfacing. "I'm just saying there's a possibility this person is his long-missing wife. I don't have any doubts about their marriage."
The head teacher was stunned, not realizing that he had just revealed his inner thoughts indirectly.
But he quickly regained his composure and said, "I was just saying it casually. But if it really was Director Cai's wife, why was she murdered and her body hidden in a sculpture?"
The police captain now seemed much calmer. "We'll need to return for testing to confirm the identity of the body. Until we receive further notice, please keep the amusement park closed so we can search for evidence."
The director of the park knew without the police telling him that it was highly likely that the park would not be able to open in the near future. Even if it were to open, people outside would probably be in a panic, and the turnover might not be much, and it would also incur a lot of extra expenses.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
Thinking of this, the head teacher thought of Cai Li again. There were many people here just now, and he was busy dealing with things here, so he had no time to make arrangements for him.
I guess it’s time to leave the amusement park with the tourists?
"We will bring the body back first. We will notify you in time if there are any problems later."
A corpse that has been sealed for a long time may undergo unpredictable changes when it comes into contact with the air again.
Therefore, in order to ensure the integrity of all matters, it is necessary to return to the forensic room as quickly as possible to conduct a preliminary examination of the body.
The headmaster nodded and said, "Okay, if there's anything you need our cooperation for, we'll do our best."
Several cars disappeared quickly in the park again, but there were still many tourists gathered at the entrance. Seeing this, they recorded the process of the police cars leaving.
This time, the sirens sounded, proving that something had indeed happened here.
The headmaster watched the car leave. Now that they were gone, he had a lot of things to deal with.
We must first explain clearly to all the staff employed by the amusement park. Although the tourists have been evacuated, all the staff are still concentrated in the theme restaurant.
Although this is usually a place for tourists to eat, as the largest indoor venue in the amusement park, most staff meetings are held here.
I believe that they all know what happened without me saying anything.
After the director outlined the general situation, he did not say much. Instead, he gave all employees three days of paid leave and instructed them not to spread rumors outside until the matter was settled.
After comforting the employees, I finally returned to the office exhausted.
In addition to dealing with the police, city leaders have been calling me one after another. I just checked my phone and there are several missed calls. I have to reply to them all one by one later.
This requires a lot of energy. When something like this happens, although it is handled according to the emergency plan guidelines that have been formulated, the superiors still need to decide on the general policy afterwards.
He pushed open the office door and thought that he could finally have some private time to rest, when he suddenly saw the back of a figure sitting in his office chair.
When the man heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around automatically. It was Cai Li who was sitting leisurely.
He had to cheer up again: "Old director, you are still here. I thought you left first because the garden was a bit chaotic just now."
Cai Li waved his hand. "No, I heard such a big thing happened in the amusement park. How could I leave first? After all, this is still my own place. Come on, sit down and let's talk."
The director had no choice but to sit down on the reception sofa with his hands on his knees. At this moment, it seemed as if the owner of this office was actually Cai Li.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Of course, he didn't think that Cai Li stayed here out of a sense of responsibility. He was waiting for him here, so there must be something that needed his help, or something else that could only be done by his own hands.
"Given the current security situation at our amusement park, under what circumstances do you think it would be possible to transport a human body from the outside passage into the amusement park without anyone noticing?"
The headmaster pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled uncomfortably: "What do you mean by that?"
He was secretly surprised, thinking that this matter might be related to Cai Li. He didn't expect that before he had time to test it, the other party would take the initiative to bring it up.
"A few years ago, I switched to business and offended quite a few people, both openly and covertly. As a result, some people began targeting my family, hoping to use this to control me. I'm afraid Nuo Xin was targeted for this very reason."
The head teacher understood what he meant, but he didn't know how to continue.
"It's possible, but the Madam has been missing for so many years. On the bright side, maybe she's still living peacefully somewhere in this world."
Cai Li folded his hands on the table. Although he looked kind, the words he spoke were extremely cold.
"Didn't you see her just now?"
