Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

A screeching sound of tires screeching rang out!

Fang Duo excitedly turned the steering wheel hard, and there was that familiar feeling of being pushed back in her seat. Zhou Yang quickly grabbed the handrail above his head; he didn't want to be thrown off.

Compared to Fang Duo, Zhou Yang even felt that Wang Chao was much gentler when driving.

When the two arrived at Gong Hongxing's courtyard, the gate was already closed. Zhou Yang knocked on it for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

"They drove away!" Just then, a head popped out from the alley not far away, speaking to Zhou Yang before quickly disappearing again.

"Let's go back to the station first!" Zhou Yang got back into the car, but his mind was still thinking about where Gong Hongxing and his wife had gone.

It was only then that he realized the couple's emotions regarding their son's death seemed somewhat unusual. Although they were sad and distressed, they were too rational.

The two have no other children. According to Liu Chengyu, Gong Hongxing's decision to go into business was influenced by Gong Xiaojun. But why does this time feel a bit off?

Unable to figure it out, I went back to the station first.

Nearly half a day has passed since the incident. A preliminary investigation has been conducted on the scene, the victim, and their family. The next step is to determine the direction and focus of the investigation.

Dai Yan hurried over, looked up and saw Zhou Yang, then handed him two pages of paper: "This is the information about the grain collector surnamed Yao you were looking for."

Zhou Yang accepted the gift, thanked him, and immediately began to look through it.

Yao Fengshou, male, Han nationality, 48 years old this year, has no record of disciplinary action or administrative penalties. There was only a minor issue with public security at the time. Overall, he seems to be a very ordinary person.

However, due to the current household registration system, it is not possible to check kinship relationships, which is somewhat troublesome.

"I kept an eye out for this and asked other people in the bureau to keep an eye out for any leads on Yao Fengshou. If they came across any, they would send them over immediately!" Dai Yan said, adjusting his glasses as he watched Zhou Yang flip through the pages quickly.

"Brother Dai is really meticulous in his work!" Zhou Yang gave him a thumbs up. As expected of someone from the First Brigade, he was very rigorous in his work.

"Liu Da, a major discovery!" Before even entering the house, Xiao Jiale's loud voice rang out in the courtyard. He jogged a few steps to the office, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "Someone discovered that two days before the incident, someone was throwing bones from the rooftop into the garbage dump!"

Xiao Jiale scanned the room: "Could we interpret this as the killer simulating something?"

"Simulation?" Wang Chao turned to look at his partner today. He hadn't said anything to him on the way back, so how come he had a clue in just a short while in the car?

"Simulate what?" Fang Duo asked. She vaguely guessed Xiao Jiale's thoughts and sighed inwardly. Since these two big shots came to Ning'an City Bureau, not only have the cases become more and more frequent, but the methods of murder have also become more and more unpredictable.

However, upon closer reflection, there are also advantages. At least, through the speculations and deductions of these two individuals, everyone has developed a strong heart, and they will not be shocked by even the most unbelievable things in the future.

Fang Duo never imagined that the flag she secretly set in her heart today would one day come true.

"Simulating the landing point of human bones!" Xiao Jiale said, a look of all-knowing confidence appearing on his face: "When the murderer cut the victim's wrists, it wasn't to ensure the victim was completely dead; it was probably just to bleed them out!"

"Bloodletting?" Even Wang Chao, a burly man, felt a chill run down his spine.

"Yes, drain the blood from the body!" Xiao Jiale continued, "Then dismember the body, remove the meat from the bones, and feed it to the birds on the roof. Slowly throw the bones down, and then retrieve or process them again?"

Liu Chengyu lit a cigarette, glanced at the eloquent Xiao Jiale, then at the frowning Zhou Yang: "I must say, the young people's guesses are quite bold!"

As expected of a veteran detective, he uttered a single sentence that neither confirmed nor denied anything.

"Then why was the body eventually dumped in the water tank?" Fang Duo took out her notebook and wrote down this deduction, but there were still some unclear points.

"this..."

Zhou Yang considered a possibility: "Do you think it's possible that the body accidentally fell into the water tank, or that the killer's original intention wasn't to throw the body into the water tank?"

This would explain why I didn't have this case in my mind in my past life.

It's highly likely that the body wasn't in the water tank, or even that the murderer moved it to another location, and the police never discovered the case.

This leads to another issue: Gong Hongxing!

Gong Hongxing is a well-known entrepreneur in Ning'an. Logically speaking, it would be impossible for someone in the public security system not to know that the son of such a famous person had disappeared in Ning'an.

unless?

Unless the case was handled by the Second or Third Brigade, and Gong Xiaojun did not die!

"Yes! I agree with this deduction. If the killer only intended for Gong Xiaojun to die from the beginning, it would have been very simple: just knock him unconscious or throw him into the water tank, close the lid, and that would have been it!"

"There's no need for hitting heads, bleeding, or pressing with boards!" Dai Yan started as a statement, but by the end, his tone had become one of certainty.

Seeing that everyone was starting to discuss the feasibility of this plan, Fang Duo described what she and Zhou Yang had seen and heard along the way, as well as the results of their investigation.

The investigation begins by tracing Gong Xiaojun's growth trajectory, followed by uncovering an extreme case, then finding Tian Mingming who discovers Gong Xiaojun's abnormality, and finally encountering Gong Hongxing who reveals the reason for the abnormality.

Then, Yao Fengshou, the telecommunications bureau's investigation of the phone number, and even the final judgment were all revealed.

Wang Chao's mouth was slightly open at this moment.

They are truly talented individuals; Xiao Jiale alone deduced the killer's intentions.

Zhou Yang has even begun to try to apprehend the suspect.

......

"Hmm, not bad, not bad!" Liu Chengyu looked at the seemingly silent crowd and nodded with satisfaction: "This is the most important part of our case-solving process, called making bold hypotheses!"

Then, he looked at everyone, his tone tinged with emotion: "It's easier said than done. When you get to my age, you'll find it's incredibly difficult. Your mindsets are too fixed. You young people are so much better; your minds are so quick. We old folks can just focus on carefully verifying everything!"

"Liu Da, I've only been here a short time, and I've already become the old guy you're talking about?" Wang Chao quipped, and the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

Ring ring ring...

The phone rang, and everyone's eyes narrowed, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.

Dai Yan, who was closest, quickly stepped forward and answered the phone: "Ning'an City Bureau, First Brigade... Hmm, is the information accurate? Okay, understood!"

Then, Dai Yan hung up the phone, his tone heavy: "Gong Hongxing has found a portrait artist from the provincial experts, and is offering a large reward!"

Snapped!

Liu Chengyu slammed his hand on the table, flattening the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, sending sparks flying throughout the room: "What the hell is this piano playing?!"
