Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"Well, Captain Guo, Defa happened to be passing by right before the explosion. After hearing the blast, I rushed here just in time! Thanks to the joint rescue and firefighting efforts of Director Xing and Captain Chen, a body was discovered! Here!"

Li Xiangnan did not hesitate and immediately took the two of them to the scene, pointing at the old man lying in the rubble and explaining.

As expected, seeing a corpse, Guo Qian's brows instantly frowned. He exchanged a glance with forensic doctor Wang, who immediately waved his hand and asked his assistant to prepare things.

"Captain Xing? Captain Chen?" At the same time, Guo Qian also noticed the two leaders standing among the many police and firefighters.

Xing Weihong's face darkened, and she immediately saluted. "Captain Guo! I'm Xing Weihong, the deputy director of the Donghuamen Police Station."

"Captain Guo, I am Chen Su, the captain of the Forbidden City Fire Brigade!" Captain Chen also saluted from the side.

"Director Xing, Captain Chen, have any other injured people been found at the scene besides this body?" Guo Qian and Li Xiangnan had the same philosophy: things should be prioritized, so they asked about the condition of the injured right away.

"Reporting to Captain Guo, although some nearby residents reported seeing someone entering the ruins, we have not found any other injured people except this dead old man! Consultant Li has been directing our rescue work on the scene. Please rest assured, we are still searching! We will never give up any hope!" Xing Weihong immediately stood at attention and reported quickly.

He reported on his work while maintaining his leadership authority in his words, which made Guo Qian feel relieved. He glanced at Li Xiangnan imperceptibly, then nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Director Xing, please continue!"

He turned to look at Forensic Doctor Wang and said, "Old Wang, please!"

"Hmm!" Forensic Doctor Wang's sharp eyes shone through his glasses as he glanced at the body on the ground. His first words were not to ask his assistant to be more careful, but rather, while putting on leather gloves, he turned to look at Li Xiangnan and said, "Advisor Li, what did you find?"

This practice of respecting Li Xiangnan's opinions first and foremost made Director Xing and others, who had just known Li Xiangnan for less than an hour, more certain of Li Xiangnan's authority in the Municipal Bureau.

Everyone subconsciously locked their eyes on him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"The timing of the appearance of the livor mortis isn't right! Old Wang, pay attention to the time of death when you examine it!"

"The corpse spots are wrong?" Forensic Doctor Wang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Xiangnan with familiar surprise.

Guo Qian's heart was beating fast. He stepped forward and asked, "Advisor Li, what do you mean..."

He spoke slowly, his speech center clearly not keeping up with his brain's thoughts. He subconsciously raised his head to glance at the explosion site of the water tower. "Is it possible that he didn't die from the explosion?"

"Ah?" As soon as these words came out, Xing Weihong, Chen Su and others couldn't help but open their mouths.

Li Xiangnan checked his watch and shook his head. "It's been exactly one hour since the explosion, and the corpse spots on this person have appeared for at least two hours! I suspect he died before the explosion. Of course, the specific details still depend on Old Wang's autopsy results!"

"Hiss!" Xing Weihong took another deep breath.

Wang Defa was also surprised and asked, "Did he die before?"

He quickly squatted down to help Forensic Doctor Wang put the labels on, frowning and saying, "No wonder when I saw the blood just now, I felt that the color of the blood was not right!"

After blood flows out of the human body, there will be a process of change, and the color will change from bright to dark. This is common knowledge that medical professionals often come into contact with.

This also fully demonstrates that the elderly who died here may have died before the explosion!

Then the problem is coming!

Is this really the case?

If this is true, does it mean that the old man was murdered?

Is this the scene where the body was dumped?

Or in other words, is it the first crime scene?

So why was he killed? And why was he abandoned here?

Who is he? Who killed him?

"According to the neighbors, a group of people entered the ruins before the explosion, but disappeared afterward! Captain Guo, I suspect they're involved in this murder!"

Xing Weihong made an immediate assessment. Seeing Guo Qian gazing at the crowd outside watching the excitement, she waved her hand knowingly and said, "Xiao Gao, quickly find a few people familiar with this area. Captain Guo wants to question them! Preferably someone older who can recognize the unfamiliar faces here!"

"..."

Hearing his order, Guo Qian looked at the other party with some surprise.

This guy’s EQ is too high!

It will indeed happen!

He noticed that Li Xiangnan and Wang Defa looked at him silently, with the same expression as his. He immediately knew that before he came, they had probably experienced Xing Weihong's weight.

But what Xing Weihong did was right!

It was very strange that the old man died here. He was really planning to ask the people around him if they knew him!

Investigating the social relationships of the deceased is also an excellent direction for investigating homicides.

The people around were still searching for the injured in the rubble, and the comrades from the fire brigade had already expanded the search area to the depths of the ruins!

Guo Qian took a look and saw Forensic Doctor Wang working, so he pulled Li Xiangnan's arm.

The two of them walked aside and smoked tacitly.

"Could this man's death be related to the explosion?" Guo Qian raised his head and looked around the water tower.

Li Xiangnan shook his head: "It's not clear yet!"

Guo Qian said meaningfully, "If this explosion happened somewhere else, I wouldn't have any other opinions, but this is the Mu family, and it means something different to you! What do you think?"

"It's very likely that there are undercurrents surging in corners we don't know about! This is clearly targeting the Mu family. I have too little information right now to figure out the connection!"

Li Xiangnan was also very anxious. He believed that there must be several forces secretly competing with each other in places he could not see.

And the contradiction seems to have reached an irreconcilable point.

Otherwise, there would be no murder!

"Oh my god, someone died!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a terrified cry from behind. Turning around, they saw three or four elderly people who had been brought to the scene of death and were being pulled by Xiao Liu to identify the body.

The old man lying on the ground had been straightened up by Forensic Doctor Wang and his assistant.

Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian looked at each other and quickly walked to the side.

"Uncles, do you know him? Can you tell him who he is?" Guo Qian asked, pointing at the corpse.

"Ouch, ouch!"

When several old men saw the corpse, they were so scared that their legs went weak. They wanted to see it but were afraid to do so. They couldn't hide their curiosity, and they had a natural fear of death. They were too reserved to step forward, but at the same time they grabbed the police officers' arms, trying to get closer to identify the person and help.

"Help him forward to take a look!" Guo Qian had no choice but to ask Xing Weihong and the police from the brigade to help him go forward to identify him.

Li Xiangnan looked at the faces of these people, trying to catch any familiar expressions that might appear.

But after they recognized it again and again, they all shook their heads.

"Not nearby!"

"This used to be the Mu family's territory. I heard it was haunted, so no one dared to come here! I'm quite familiar with this place, but this person is definitely not from here!"

"I don't know him, I've never seen him before!"

Li Xiangnan walked over and gave a few old men a cigarette. He looked at an older one and asked, "Old man, is this man from the Mu family?"

"The Mu family?" The old man's voice trembled. "How is that possible? The Mu family is all dead! I haven't seen any members of the Mu family for decades! Young man, I have a good memory. I recognize anyone who is a member of the Mu family..."

Li Xiangnan narrowed his eyes slightly, fished out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a photo. "Do you know this person?"

"This is..." The old man took the photo tremblingly. Li Xiangnan shone the flashlight over. He looked at it carefully, thinking for a long time, and said firmly: "Hey, this person... This is Mu Huanying!!"

"..." Li Xiangnan's heart was shocked, his eyes immediately became moist, but for some reason his throat suddenly became blocked.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, there are still people who recognize their grandma!

Knowing that the Mu family's old house was here, he had come here many times to ask people around and inquire about the affairs of the Mu family, but everyone was very secretive.

If it weren’t for the explosion, I would never have had the chance to meet this old man who came to watch the fun!

"Young man, who are you?" The old man turned his head and looked at Li Xiangni.

Li Xiangnan pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't answer. He silently took the photo and put it in his wallet. He just gently held his hand and said, "Old man, please leave me your contact information and address. We need your cooperation in handling the case! You do know who is a member of the Mu family. Are you sure this person is not a member of the Mu family?"

"Of course I know, I've never seen him before!"

Li Xiangnan asked again: "But he only has half of his face, can you still recognize him?"

"Young man, I worked as a doorman at the Mu family for two months. What do you think?"

Li Xiangnan was delighted and was about to continue asking questions when he suddenly saw a familiar face standing in the crowd not far away.

He turned his head and was startled.

Shen Yujing?

Isn't he dead?
