“Holy crap, is that… an arm?”
“A human arm?”
“Damn it! A corpse? Someone was killed? Dismembered?”
A little further away on the riverbank, Old Yu and a few others, who were packing up their fishing gear to leave, had their eyes wide open.
They were all considered successful individuals, confident in their extensive knowledge.
But a human body part, just like that, was lifted from the river, and river water kept dripping from that eerie arm!
They could even see the wrinkled skin from being soaked!
The expletives in their hearts flowed faster than the river water.
“Damn, I know why it’s so easy to catch fish here!”
“No wonder that young brother just now had such a strange expression.”
“He must know something!”
They glanced at the fish in their net, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little nauseous.
They tacitly released all the fish!
“I found something too!”
Another frogman’s exclamation came from downstream.
This time, what was lifted out was an irregularly shaped chunk of flesh the size of a watermelon.
One could vaguely see bones protruding from the flesh.
But it was impossible to tell which specific body part it was!
On the riverbank!
The police officers were both surprised and delighted.
Previously, when Team Zheng, the Great Leader, asked everyone to come here to salvage, they weren’t entirely convinced.
After all, one couldn’t fully trust what the informant said.
They didn’t expect to find the body so smoothly!
Liu Neng, the Frogman Leader, also had a look of disbelief:
“This place is really a dumping ground for bodies?
What the informant said was actually true?”
He had just been about to suggest going back to the reservoir downstream, but he didn't expect to find the body.
And just as Team Zheng said, what was salvaged were indeed body parts!
“Phew~~”
Zheng Yuanqiao also let out a long breath, a smile finally appearing on his face.
However, this smile only lasted for a moment.
Because finding the body was only the first step; subsequent confirmation of the body's origin, forensic evidence identification, and finding suspects, etc., were even more crucial!
“Xiao Liu, have all the frogmen search the location where the body parts were found.
Oh, and call up all the frogmen from the reservoir side as well.”
As more personnel joined, body parts, both large and small, rapidly emerged from the water.
The excitement on the police officers’ faces was slowly replaced by fear.
It was too tragic!
The victim was completely chopped into pieces!
At least fifty or sixty pieces!
Let alone the torso, not even a single complete internal organ could be found.
The body parts were also covered with shallow or deep wounds!
Even the Forensic Medicine, who was accustomed to life and death, felt a chill in their heart.
After the initial on-site examination, the body parts were quickly sent back to the autopsy room for dissection!
…
Evening!
Unlike the dog-tired investigation team, Shen Ting leisurely rode his delivery scooter, wandering around the residential area for an entire afternoon.
He wasn't delivering food, but looking for those who were “delivering food.”
“Hello, is this 110? I’m a passionate citizen from Chongyang!
I want to report prostitution…
Garden Community, Building 2, Unit 3, 401. Please send someone over quickly…
How do I know he’s prostituting?
I’m his neighbor. The soundproofing here is very poor, so of course I know.
That old man is so old, yet he exercises intensely every day. I’m being kind, I’m afraid he’ll kick the bucket, that’s why I’m reporting him…
Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, the old man can only last a few seconds, if you come late, they’ll be done!
Oh, and the old man’s son is the boss of Hongye Company, and his daughter is the editor-in-chief of Huiren Newspaper. You’d best call them all over, lest the old man gets too excited and falls ill and extorts you!
No need to thank me, no need to thank me, it’s all my duty…
400004xxxxxxxx7655!
Just deposit the bounty into this card when the time comes!”
Shen Ting hung up the report call, feeling delighted.
Doing a good deed every day, immeasurable merit!
Shen Ting had tasted the sweetness of the 30,000 bounty for reporting the Madou Media.
He planned to abandon food delivery and focus on reporting, vigorously developing this business.
Especially!
With his previous experience in food delivery, he was very familiar with where all the shady dealings were hidden in Chongyang.
This Garden Community was one of them!
Just now, while staking out here, he saw a scantily clad beautiful woman, wearing high heels, swaying her body, “da da da” entering the community.
It just didn’t look right!
Using 【Data Sharing】 to access surveillance, he followed the beautiful woman all the way into Building 2, Unit 3, 401.
Then he saw an old man transfer money, shower, take off his clothes, followed by content that needed to be omitted by a hundred thousand words, all in one go!
To ensure the report was accurate, Shen Ting enjoyed… confirmed the entire process, then decisively called 110!
“Ten thousand, it should be in hand!”
Shen Ting smiled, rode his scooter, and went to the kindergarten to pick up his younger sister, Shen Manman.
“Brother, why are you late again today?
Manman was so anxious waiting!
Were you very busy delivering food today?”
Shen Ting took out his phone and typed on it: “It’s alright!
I helped an old grandpa who was over-exercising!”
“Wow, Brother, you’re so kind!”
Shen Ting pointed to the fried chicken tenders and other snack stalls by the roadside.
“Brother, I’m not eating!
Xiao Gao Teacher said these snacks aren’t clean, eating them will make me not grow tall and easily get sick.”
That makes sense!
We now have a huge sum of thirty thousand, snack stalls no longer match our demeanor.
He took Shen Manman to a proper restaurant and also brought food for his parents.
“Brother, you spent too much money today!
Let’s be more frugal in the future, how hard you work delivering food!”
Shen Ting, who was riding his bike, didn't speak.
Because Shen Manman couldn't hear him!
When she was three, her hearing was severely damaged, and treating it drained the family’s savings. They couldn’t afford cochlear implants for now.
Half an hour later, Shen Ting returned home.
His parents were making tofu. Shen Ting greeted them and took out the packed meals.
“Oh dear, why such an extravagance?”
“You child, always so extravagant!”
The couple scolded him with their mouths, but their faces were smiling.
However, their fatigue was also very obvious.
Manman would start elementary school next year, and they were working hard selling tofu, hoping to get her a cochlear implant by then.
“A cochlear implant costs hundreds of thousands, how long would we have to sell tofu for that?
And there isn't necessarily an opportunity to rescue a fallen girl every day.
Solving cases and reporting for bounties is more reliable.”
Shen Ting returned to his room.
“If I help solve this case, I wonder how much reward money I can get!”
【National Highway 245 Skull Crushing Case, new progress!】
What a coincidence?
Shen Ting immediately obtained the investigation team’s data and uploaded it to the Case Solving Group.
Group Leader: “Everyone, take a look!”
Tang Ren: “Finally, there’s progress?”
kiko: “Huh, the victim’s identity has been confirmed?”
The data showed that the frogmen found the victim’s clothes at the body dumping site in the afternoon.
In the pocket, a key card was found.
Based on the information and photo on the card, the victim was confirmed to be Song Xiaoqian!
She was currently the person in charge of Huihuang Wood Industry!
She was just 24 years old this year!
The investigation team found Song Xiaoqian’s parents and conducted DNA identification, successfully completing the match!
Shen Ting got into bed, turned on the electric blanket, and simultaneously opened a surveillance video.
Wailing immediately rang out:
“Qianqian, how could you die?
How am I supposed to live?
Heaven, why are you doing this to us, why?”
A middle-aged woman collapsed outside the autopsy room, her face covered in tears.
Her hands continuously slapped the cold marble floor.
Her palms were red from slapping, but she seemed oblivious.
Beside her stood a middle-aged man in a suit.
He originally looked very distinguished, but upon hearing the news of his daughter’s death, he instantly seemed to have all his strength drained, and his entire being became listless.
His eyes were red, and tears were welling up in them. He used his last ounce of strength to grab the police officer’s hand:
“Officer, who is the murderer?
My daughter, my daughter was a good child!
Who killed her?
Who?”
