At that moment, Li Nan happened to be driving when he arrived at the automatic gate of Andingsi.
From afar, both he and Qin Wen spotted the unusually shaped scavenger. Qin Wen was still lamenting how difficult life was for people, especially for a disabled person like him who had started working so early.
But when Li Nan arrived at the door, he discovered that everyone in the car had the same destination.
Li Nan quickly drove into the outdoor parking lot, and after parking, she and Qin Wen went to the scavenger.
"Sir, are you here to report a crime to the An Ding Si?"
The scavenger had already noticed the two, so he stopped at the gate and waited for them.
As the two approached, their dark blue and emerald green uniforms told him he had found the right people.
"Hello, leaders, I want to report a case!"
One sentence caused a huge uproar!
The mysterious and kind-hearted person's persona collapsed instantly, and a nightmare that had haunted the citizens of Tanhua City for a long time opened its claws to everyone!
The scavenger's name is Zhu Zhiming. He was a former mine-clearing soldier who retired due to injury caused by an accident during a mine-clearing operation.
After being discharged from the army, he repeatedly refused the help from the Disabled Persons' Federation of Tanhua City and has been relying on his own efforts ever since.
One can only imagine how difficult life must be for a disabled veteran who relies on his own body to make a living.
Old Zhu had some very bad memories from back then, and he had a deep impression of certain tastes.
I only managed to eat one of the free meals on June 13th, when I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, with the help of friends in the industry.
When you're extremely hungry, you lose your sense of taste and smell. You quickly finish the 1-liter boxed meal and, apart from the satisfaction of being full, you don't have any other thoughts.
Once a person's bottom line is crossed, it is very difficult to restrain them again.
Unfortunately, the number of boxed meals was limited, with only one hundred available at a time. Moreover, due to Old Zhu's poor health, he could only leave it to fate, even though he wanted to have another box.
Until last night, when Lao Zhu received another boxed meal, he took a bite of the steamed pork with rice flour, but immediately realized something was wrong!
"This tastes wrong. It's not pork, and it's not lamb. It tastes a bit like chicken, but it's not chicken either!"
Old Zhu picked up a piece of meat and examined it carefully.
The steamed pork with rice flour has been steamed and boiled, and the rice flour coating on the meat makes it difficult to see clearly.
The other dish, stir-fried green peppers with pork, was much more eye-catching and clearly visible.
The texture and the quality of the meat immediately rule out artificial, industrially produced meat.
This texture, this direction, definitely doesn't belong to the poultry or livestock we eat regularly.
Then look at that small cup of bone broth; inside the plastic cup, a small piece of bone lies quietly.
The cuts are neat and precise, showing that the chef has good knife skills.
But this shape is not like the common skeletons of pigs, cows and sheep. Old Zhu is a veteran of more than ten years and is very familiar with some of the structures!
An incredible thought arose in Lao Zhu's mind!
Impossible, impossible!
Old Zhu already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in public.
While everyone was enjoying their food, he secretly put away his half-eaten lunchbox, took out another lunchbox from another styrofoam box, and slowly slid out of the bridge arch.
There is a place that can give him the answer—An Ding Si!
After listening to Lao Zhu's story, Li Nan took the two boxed lunches with both hands and handed them to Qin Wen, who was standing next to her.
"Xiaowen, thank you for your hard work. I hope to know the answer as soon as possible, and who is inside!"
Actually, he had a vague idea of the answer when he was listening to Old Zhu's story.
We can't make decisions based on mere guesswork; we need to see the experimental results!
The outcome was actually predictable.
All members of the task force put down their work and waited together in the conference room for the results.
Old Zhu, standing to the side, could not hide his anxiety and anger.
Although he was a warrior who had killed people and seen blood, such a ferocious beast was truly unheard of.
Using the flesh and blood of young girls to make lunchboxes? How cruel and twisted must one's mind be to do such a thing!
Upon receiving Li Nan's call, Xiong Sifu also rushed over to wait for the results together.
When the leader came in, even Yang Bairong, who was used to flattering others, showed little interest and merely nodded in greeting.
At 11:40 a.m., thanks to the concerted efforts of Qin Wen and the laboratory staff, the results were finally revealed.
"The result is not optimistic, but it was expected!" Qin Wen walked into the conference room, looking exhausted.
"These pieces of meat have been cooked at high temperatures, so most of them have lost their vitality. The only way to compare them is from a technical point of view. All the meat in the lunchbox, including the bones, comes from humans. Moreover, one part of it has been subjected to long-term freezing."
Human DNA was not detected, but it is now almost certain that the chances of the missing persons surviving are virtually zero.
Although everyone had already guessed the outcome, it was still hard to accept the bloody truth.
Li Na covered her mouth with her hand and said in a low voice, "Excuse me, I'll be going out for a bit!"
Li Nan sighed and asked, "Are there any new technologies that can detect DNA from these, um, remains?"
Qin Wen shook her head helplessly.
Xiong Sifu, who was standing to the side, said, "I have already consulted with Caiyun County. The research team is now collaborating with universities to work on a new DNA breakpoint reconnection technology. When the time comes... well, it's a pity we probably won't be able to use it this time."
Xiong Sifu continued, "This case has now escalated from a simple missing person case into a murder and dismemberment case. I don't need to elaborate on the severity of the situation, Li Nan!"
"arrive!"
"I hereby announce that this murder and dismemberment case will be combined with the case of missing persons 0609 and incorporated into the 0609 special case. Li Nan will continue to serve as the team leader. This case must be solved as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! All violations will be investigated and all murder cases will be solved!"
Xiong Sifu instructed everyone that this case was of great importance and that they must be careful to keep it confidential and mindful of its impact, and absolutely not leak it.
After Xiong Sifu left, Li Nan and the others continued to discuss the next steps.
Based on the trajectory of the past few days, since this ruthless gang has been distributing boxed meals for 16 consecutive days, there is a very high probability that they will continue to distribute them tonight!
Of course, to avoid alerting the suspects, Li Nan arranged for the patrol team to cooperate by monitoring the roads in real time through cameras. Once a suspect vehicle was spotted leaving a foam box, the members of the pre-arranged task force would immediately follow up and make the arrest!
