"The person has been dead for so long, and buried in the ground for so long. Although it is called a skeleton... many parts have started to decompose. We can only detect the approximate time of death at present. The exact time of death will be determined after the sample is sent to the laboratory for a thorough examination."
"However, the gender can be determined; it is male. Based on bone age, the age should be that of a high school student."
"I never imagined that someone would die in our jurisdiction. Sigh, the police station was already busy enough after we found out about the mosquitoes, and now we have another big case to handle. Everyone in the police station is extremely busy."
Xiao Yihan shook her head and sighed, "This is just a short break I'm taking, half an hour to rest. I have to go back to work overtime later."
"After thinking it over, I realized that I don't have anyone around me to chat with or confide in, and my colleagues are all busy... After careful consideration, I realized that you are the only one I can come to."
Xiao Yihan held the straw and stirred the contents of the cup.
Xiao Yihan was destined to work overtime tonight, so she didn't mind drinking coffee so late at night.
Even though the person she liked was sitting right in front of her, she just couldn't get into the mood.
After all, it's a human life...
"Since the estimated time of death for the body is about six months, if we compile a list of people who have gone missing in Jiang City in the past six months... no, it can't just be people from Jiang City, it could also be people from other cities. If we include people from all over the country, we should get a result, right?"
Xia Che touched his chin, his brows furrowing as well.
He had a premonition that something bad would happen, but he never expected it would result in someone's death.
Xia Che was well aware that, according to Chinese law, murder cases must be solved.
This matter cannot be left unresolved.
Imagine finding a murderer based on a body that has been dead for more than six months...
It's difficult, extremely difficult.
It will most likely become an unsolved case for the Jiang City Police Department.
After all, it has been a very long time since the crime occurred. During this time, the murderer could have even gone abroad, undergone plastic surgery, and transformed himself into a completely different person.
Without concrete evidence such as fingerprints, blood, or hair, finding the murderer is extremely difficult.
At this point, we can only hope that the experts who examine the body can find some clues from it.
“We’re already looking. You’re right, the person who died might not be from Jiang City. But the number of missing persons reported in the past six months is just too many. Even with age and gender as screening criteria, the remaining number is still terrifying… My colleagues are already doing the statistics, and I’ll be working overtime tonight to do it.”
Xiao Yihan rubbed her temples, feeling her head ache even more.
Missing persons are inherently a difficult issue to resolve, mainly due to the police department's handling methods. When someone reports a missing person, if the person is found within a certain period of time, it is rare for someone to voluntarily go back to the police station to have the report withdrawn.
Because they all find it troublesome.
But this has caused hardship for law enforcement officers.
If the other party doesn't withdraw the order, law enforcement officers will have to investigate and search for them, spending half a day on the task only to find that the person has already returned, resulting in a waste of manpower.
Moreover, according to Xiao Yihan's prediction, a considerable portion of the mountain of cases that the police station will have to handle next are cases that don't even need to be investigated, but even if she knew that, she couldn't do nothing about it.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's just work. Good luck."
Xia Che shrugged. What could he say about this?
Now that a murder has occurred, it's even more sensitive.
Let alone these problematic missing persons, even if there are no problems, we still need to conduct a thorough investigation.
Moreover, since it involves the law enforcement system, Xia Che couldn't offer any help and could only feel helpless.
"Let's not talk about that. I still have some time to rest. How are your plans going?"
Xiao Yihan chewed the straw so hard it crunched, silently venting her frustration.
"It went very smoothly. The Feng family has no doubt about it. They are convinced that the old man has been resurrected and that the money will be transferred tomorrow."
Xia Che nodded in agreement, touched his nose, and looked slightly strange.
Confess to law enforcement officers what bad things you just did...
Why does this feeling feel so strange?
What do you need me to do?
Xiao Yihan nodded. She had tacitly approved of Xia Che's actions. Naturally, the money would not go directly to Xia Che and Chu Yuying's accounts. The account left would be with the Jiang City Police Department. After luring the old dog out and arresting him, the money would be returned to the Feng family.
“After the money from the Feng family arrives, I will deliberately reveal a flaw to make them realize that they have been deceived. At that time, I need the police station to create momentum, for example, by having the police station come forward and publicize the fact that the Feng family has been deceived... Only in this way can the old dog realize that the target he has been eyeing has been intercepted, and that it is the police station that is involved, so he will not doubt the authenticity of this matter.”
Xia Che was already prepared. He didn't need to watch the college league every day. Since only Shen Yanxin among his friends was participating, he could cheer her on when the finals came.
During this period, the most important thing is to lure the old dog out and then arrest him.
"Hmm... But if we do that, your and Chu Yuying's reputations will be completely ruined. Is that really okay?"
Xiao Yihan bit her straw, her eyebrows furrowed.
“That’s true… How about this, you just say that our identities are fake, that we’re impersonating the Ultimate High School Level Psychic. That way, our reputations can be preserved. The Feng family has only met us once, so they don’t know who the real Ultimate High School Level Psychic is. We just need to fool Old Dog. Once this is over, Chu Yuying and I will personally apologize to the Feng family.”
Xia Che had an idea and said with a confident smile.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
Xiao Yihan nodded thoughtfully.
This operation was her own personal action, and the police station was unaware of it, so she'll have to report to her captain when she gets back to work later...
Another troublesome matter has arisen...
Xiao Yihan lowered her head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
The matter must be resolved, and the old dog must be caught.
It's a bit of a hassle, but I guess...
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Xia Che, being a good conversationalist, made Xiao Yihan's worries lessen considerably.
Time ticked by, and Xiao Yihan picked up her phone to check the time. She exclaimed in surprise and then got up to leave.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Xiao Yihan was having so much fun chatting with Xia Che that she lost track of time; she would be late if she didn't go back soon.
