Office of the Branch Director, Haijiang District, Guangxing City.

Lai Guoqing raised his head from the documents and looked at Yang Qian and Cai Xiaojing who were sitting on the sofa.

"You haven't identified the victim yet?"

This question was directed at Yang Qian. He scratched the back of his head and replied, "We are already investigating. The victim did not have any identification documents, but we initially determined that he was an outsider."

Lai Guoqing got angry when he heard this and threw the documents on his desk.

Two days have passed since the body was found in Dalin Mountain.

During this period, Haijiang District mobilized a large number of police officers to search the entire mountain for clues, but nothing was found.

Whether it is surveillance footage, eyewitnesses, the murderer's footprints, the victim's lost shoes, etc., there are no clues.

Now, the only information they have is that the victim died two days ago, on October 10th.

Forensic Doctor Zhao performed an autopsy on the body and was able to accurately determine the time of the autopsy to be between eight and ten o'clock that evening.

In other words, the murderer strangled the victim at night with a tool such as a wire rope, and then transported the body to the big forest overnight and hung the body up.

This operation is very confusing. Even though Lai Guoqing has not been on the front line for a long time, the murderer's behavior pattern can be seen. He wants to expose the victim to the public!
His idea was simple. As long as he could find out the identity of the victim, he would be able to track down the murderer through social connections.

This is how most cases are solved.

He believed that this time would be no exception.

But the more troublesome thing is that until now, there has been no progress on Yang Qian’s side!

Lai Guoqing got angry when he saw Yang Qian's reckless character.

Cai Xiaojing was more careful. She gave her the forensic report and documents. There were a few lines of words on them and a thick line drawn with a red pen.

Lai Guoqing understood that she was hinting that he could start from these points to look for clues.

As for why she was so secretive, he knew without asking that there must have been a disagreement between Yang Qian and her. As a deputy, she had no say in the direction of the investigation, so she secretly hinted to him.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Yang Qian raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa with a swagger, seemingly not bothered by anything.

Cai Xiaojing, on the other hand, looked at Lai Guoqing anxiously. She had only been transferred there for a month and had not yet established a firm foothold.

No matter what he did, he was not happy and was suppressed by Yang Qian everywhere.

Especially in this case, she reminded the other party many times, but was ignored.

Lai Guoqing sighed, picked up the document, carefully looked at the highlighted parts, and asked Yang Qian, "Old Zhao said that the victim had just had a haircut. Didn't you go to the barber shop to look for clues?"

"Director Lai, there are thousands of hair salons of all sizes in Guangxing City. How can I find this one?"

Lai Guoqing's expression froze.

Cai Xiaojing continued, "I visited several hair salons in Haijiang District yesterday. I am sure that the victim must have had her hair cut in a relatively high-end place, so one-third of the places can be ruled out."

Yang Qian glanced at her and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction: "Xiao Cai, you didn't do what I told you to do. You acted on your own. Isn't that not good?"

"I……"

Lai Guoqing quickly put out the tension: "Send a request to the police stations in each district to check if there are any missing persons reported recently."

Cai Xiaojing nodded quickly and made a few notes in the notebook.

"Also, the 100-dollar bill that was sealed in the victim's mouth, have you investigated this?"

Hearing this, she turned and looked at Yang Qian.

The meaning is very clear, it's like someone has made a report, the leader asks a question, and then waits to see how you answer.

Yang Qian touched his nose.

"Based on the victim's clothing, we think he should have some small amounts of money, so we are visiting various banks to see if we can find any clues. In addition, Lao Zhao has examined the calluses on the body's palms and speculated that the deceased was a driver. I have also sent people to check with the taxi company in the past two days. It may take some time before we get any clues."

Lai Guoqing rolled his eyes, a little annoyed by Yang Qian's attitude, and threw the document back on the desk.

Although he is not on the front line and can only understand the case through his subordinates, it does not mean that he is deaf.

"I heard that our case is related to the [622 kidnapping and murder case] in Linjiang City, is that right?"

This question was asked to Yang Qian, so he had to answer. He curled his lips and said, "Director Lai, where did you hear this from?"

After saying that, he looked at Cai Xiaojing with some annoyance.

Cai Xiaojing looked at him and did not avoid him.

Lai Guoqing saw the expressions of both of them, but he didn't say a word. This time, he wanted to wait until the smell of gunpowder became stronger before he prepared to put out the fire.

"Li Mubai has been reviewing the files on the [622 kidnapping and murder case] at the provincial department for two days. There must be something wrong here!"

"I say, you have such a vivid imagination. You have to make such a fuss about a simple case!"

Cai Xiaojing has always believed in Luo Rui's judgment, so at this moment, she must argue with reason.

"Captain Yang, without a little imagination, our investigation will be very passive! If this is really a serial murder case, then more innocent people will be killed next!"

Yang Qian sneered: "You have watched too many suspense movies. I don't believe that a young boy is really so powerful. You just listen to what he says. Did he help you get the position of deputy captain?"

This is a very serious statement!
Everyone knows that Cai Xiaojing's previous position was the captain of the Linjiang City Criminal Police Detachment, a real top leader. In fact, his position was higher than Yang Qian's.

Now, she has been transferred to the Criminal Police Brigade in Haijiang District as the second-in-command, which is obviously a demotion.

What Yang Qian said was simply to belittle her abilities.

Cai Xiaojing's face suddenly turned ugly, she pursed her lips and bit her cheek.

Lai Guoqing saw that she was about to have an outburst and quickly put out the fire.

"Okay, stop arguing! Let's leave it at that for now. Find out the victim's identity information quickly, and then we'll make the next decision."

Seeing that her leader was angry, Cai Xiaojing took a breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.

At this time, someone pushed the door open and came in.

The three turned around and saw that it was Deputy Chief Zhao Beihai, the second-in-command of the police station.

Lai Guoqing greeted him slowly: "Old Zhao, what's the hurry?"

Zhao Beihai was holding a document in his hand. He glanced at Yang Qian and his dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

"Director Lai, the provincial department just issued a notice that the case that occurred in Dalin Mountain has been merged with the [622 kidnapping and murder case] in Linjiang City!"

"what?"

The three people in the office stood up suddenly and stared at him in shock.

Cai Xiaojing's eyes lit up. This time, Luo Rui's guess was right again!

Yang Qian swallowed his saliva and dared not say a word.

Lai Guoqing slapped his forehead, regretting that he was moving too slowly!

Someone else actually got the upper hand.

He quickly asked, "Does the higher-ups mean to set up a special task force?"
