As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

Chapter 129: Stone's Merit, Confirming the Victim's Identity

"These are the stones that were packed in the sack and sunk into the river with the deceased. I want to praise and thank Ye Lin here. Although it was very difficult for him to be underwater, he still insisted on salvaging these stones. This is a belief we have as police officers. We have to collect anything related to the scene, because no one knows if it will be useful."

"And our colleagues at the forensic department found a clue from this. Please take a look."

Yu Haifeng pointed to a stone in the photo and said, "Here, there are traces of cement on this stone, so this stone is not the kind that was dug out of the ground, but was removed from a building."

"Through this clue, we also found that other stones also had this kind of cement residue. According to forensic judgment, these stones should have come from the same place or building."

"We also consulted other experts. This kind of stone is local to Yuezhou. It was often used to build old houses in the past. It is also used to fence yards in some villages in the suburbs."

"So, we will split into several groups. One group will match the missing persons, and the other group will investigate whether there are any house demolitions in the local area."

After Yu Haifeng finished speaking, he looked at Director Zheng and said, "Director Zheng, do you have any instructions? If not, we will set off."

Zheng Yongnian looked sick and waved his hand but was still unwilling to speak.

Yu Haifeng understood immediately, "Okay, everyone start your own investigations, and be sure to be careful and serious. The public and higher-ups are watching this case closely."

After the meeting, Yu Haifeng pulled Ye Lin over and went to visit with him, and also took Sun Jinghua with him.

Yuezhou has developed rapidly in recent years, especially after the demolition in the past few years. Many farmers have transformed into city dwellers. Regardless of whether their habits have changed or not, the old rural houses are no longer seen. They have been turned into forests of steel and concrete.

However, the demolition has stopped in recent years, allowing several urban villages to remain in the city.

Ye Lin and his team visited several urban villages. There were all kinds of houses inside, some were small villas, and some were small bungalows. Stones like the ones in the photo are a relatively common building material here. Even those small villas have a stone wall.

So this also brought certain obstacles to their investigation.

The local village secretary also said that this kind of stone is too common and anyone could use it. As for whether any houses have been demolished recently, he has no idea. After all, there are too many houses in the urban villages that have been renovated for rent, and he cannot manage it all.

In one afternoon, they visited two villages but did not gain anything.

Just when they were about to go back, Yu Haifeng's phone rang.

"Captain Yu, we have found clues to the deceased. Why don't you come back?"

Yu Haifeng's tense face finally showed a hint of smile, "Let's go, we have a clue, it's a missing person."

By the time the three of them returned to the conference room, the rest of the people had basically arrived, and the meeting began immediately.

"Old Zhao, tell me." Yu Haifeng said to Zhao Jianfeng.

"Okay, we're here to investigate missing persons. According to the missing persons data, Chen Youhan and his wife Guan Xiaohe, villagers from Group 11 of Chengguan Village, disappeared eight days ago, on November 3. Their family went to the police station to report the incident."

"We've already found their family and asked them to come over for DNA comparison and body identification. Xiao Wang is waiting for news over there."

Ye Lin suddenly interrupted and asked, "Is Group 3 of Chengguan Village also a village in the city?"

Generally, people call themselves that in the village, but some people are used to calling themselves that even if they already live in a residential area, so Ye Lin wants to confirm it.

Zhao Jianfeng nodded, "Yes, but we are discussing the demolition now."

"Demolition?" Ye Lin exclaimed and turned to look at Yu Haifeng.

Yu Haifeng just happened to be looking at him, with a look of joy in his eyes. This made sense, there must be stones in the demolition. He just picked a few stones from the demolition site and put them into the sack.

Ye Lin nodded.

Yu Haifeng stood up and said, "After their families confirm their identities, we will immediately record their statements to find out if they have any grudges against each other, especially when it comes to the demolition."

Ever since the concept of demolition came into being, there has been no end to the pros and cons of demolition.

Most of the time, it’s because the demolition households and the developers can’t reach an agreement, which has resulted in many nail households, such as a road being divided in half, highway detours, and houses under overpasses.

These are still considered good, at most they cannot reach an agreement on money. For the police, what they fear most is violent demolition.

In order to ensure the progress of demolition, some developers recruited a group of thugs to force the residents to sign through threats and intimidation, and even killed them.

Of course, this was all in the early days. Now it has become more and more formal, and mainly no one dares to do this anymore.

Now the main disputes are some economic disputes and contract disputes caused by demolition.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Longxin rushed in, looking excited: "Captain, it has been confirmed that the two deceased are Chen Youhan and Guan Xiaohe."

boom!

Yu Haifeng slammed the table and shouted, "Okay, ask the family members to come over tonight to find out the situation."

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, as if something was staring at him.

His mind suddenly lit up, oh my god, Director Zheng is still here.

He quickly cleared his throat, turned around, pretended nothing had happened, and asked respectfully, "Director Zheng, what do you think we should do next?"

Zheng Yongnian rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "You've already told me what you did. Why do you want me to tell you? I'm just providing support. It's up to you how you do it."

After saying that, Zheng Yongnian lowered his head and began to drink tea.

Yu Haifeng smiled awkwardly. He was so used to leading the team that he forgot about his leader.

He looked at Wang Longxin who was standing at the door and grinning, "Hurry up, take me to meet the family and find out what happened."

Ye Lin also went along.

Because they were the victim's family members, they were received in the conference room.

The family members of the victim this time were two elderly people, Chen Youhan’s parents, father Chen Yongquan, and mother Qin Laidie. Wang Longxin had prepared two box lunches for them before, but the two elderly people could not eat at all and just kept wiping away their tears.

When Ye Lin and Yu Haifeng came in, the two elders just raised their heads slightly and said nothing.

Ye Lin took a look at him secretly. This person looked like a native of Yuezhou and was obviously from Yuezhou.

The two old men looked honest and simple, and they didn't wear any expensive clothes, so they probably didn't come from a wealthy family.

Yu Haifeng sat down and said softly, "Old man, we are from the Criminal Police Team of the Xishan District Police Branch. My name is Yu Haifeng, and I am the captain of the Criminal Police Team."
