Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

He first carefully used a hoe to dig up the corn stubble one by one and piled it at the edge of the cultivated land. After working for about an hour, the sun gradually rose, the thin fog slowly dissipated, and the field became clearer. Qin Xueli wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the small shovel beside him, and planned to do some preliminary tilling of the cultivated land. He bent down, gripped the shovel tightly, and dug hard into the ground. The moment the shovel entered the soil, he felt a strange sensation under his feet—not the softness of the soil, nor the hardness of the stone, but a soft, sticky, and slightly elastic sensation, as if he had dug up something.

Qin Xueli was startled, assuming he had unearthed an animal carcass. After all, small animals like rats and rabbits occasionally got injured by farm machinery or died naturally and were buried in the soil in the village's farmland. He didn't think much of it, just frowned, and increased the force of his shovel, intending to dig the "thing" out and throw it into the weeds at the edge of the farmland. But as he shoveled away the surrounding soil, and the outline of the "thing" gradually became clearer, Qin Xueli's face instantly turned ashen, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a loud clatter.

What he dug out wasn't an animal carcass at all, but a human arm—a male arm. The skin was an unnatural bluish-purple, and there was still dirt and fine fibers under the fingernails. The arm was covered in dust and dirt, but you could still clearly see some small scratches and a noticeable bruise. Qin Xueli was so frightened that his whole body went weak, his legs trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He quickly took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the arm he had dug out, his mouth wide open, but he couldn't make a sound. Only his heavy breathing and his heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst out of his chest, could be heard.

A full ten minutes passed before Qin Xueli finally managed to recover from his extreme fear. He knew this was a matter of life and death, and absolutely could not be concealed or delayed. His hand trembled as he reached for his old-fashioned mobile phone in his pocket. His fingers were so stiff they wouldn't obey him; after several attempts, he finally managed to dial 110, the police emergency number. The moment the call connected, Qin Xueli could no longer control his emotions. His voice trembled as he shouted incoherently, "Police...police! Officers, come quickly...come quickly! In the farmland at the east end of Qinjiagou village, I...I dug up a body! It's...it's a human body!"

Upon hearing Qin Xueli's cry for help, the dispatcher on the other end of the phone immediately became serious. While patiently calming Qin Xueli down, instructing him not to panic, not to disturb anything at the scene, and to wait for the police to arrive, the dispatcher quickly recorded the report: "An unidentified male corpse has been found in farmland at the eastern end of Qinjiagou Village. The caller is Qin Xueli." The dispatcher then immediately reported this serious incident to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division, requesting that they dispatch personnel to the scene immediately.

Lu Chuan, the head of the city's Criminal Investigation Detachment, was reviewing recent cases in his office when he received this major report. His expression instantly turned serious. Qinjiagou is a remote and inconveniently located area where criminal cases are rare. The sudden discovery of an unidentified male corpse clearly indicates that this is not a simple accidental death, but most likely a case of intentional homicide and body disposal. Lu Chuan dared not be negligent in the slightest. He immediately put down his work, gathered the detachment's key personnel, and quickly deployed the on-site handling operations.

"Yang Lin and Yang Sen, you two immediately take all the necessary tools for the crime scene investigation and come with me to Qinjiagou. You will be in charge of the investigation. Be meticulous and rigorous, leaving no trace or piece of evidence unchecked, including footprints, tire tracks, fibers, hair, and all information on the body's surface. Collect, record, and mark everything carefully," Lu Chuan said calmly and firmly, his gaze sweeping over the two key members of the crime scene investigation team beside him. "Remember, crime scene investigation is the foundation of case solving. Every trace and piece of evidence could be the key to breaking through the case. You must be extremely serious, strictly follow the investigation procedures, protect the scene, and prevent the traces and evidence from being destroyed."

"Understood, Captain Lu!" Yang Lin and Yang Sen responded in unison, their tone firm. Both Yang Lin and Yang Sen were key members of the city's Criminal Investigation Detachment's crime scene investigation team. With years of experience and exceptional skills, they worked seamlessly together, participating in the solving of numerous major criminal cases. Their meticulous investigations uncovered countless crucial clues, providing strong support for case solving. Yang Lin, with his calm and meticulous nature, excelled at extracting and analyzing trace evidence, especially subtle evidence such as fibers and hair; Yang Sen, efficient and agile, was skilled at examining and comparing footprints and tire tracks. The two complemented each other perfectly, forming a "golden duo" in the detachment's crime scene investigation.

Subsequently, Yang Lin and Yang Sen acted swiftly, heading to the investigation equipment room to collect the necessary tools for the on-site investigation—an investigation kit, measuring tape, tweezers, brush, magnifying glass, flashlight, trace extraction paper, sealed bags, gloves, masks, protective clothing, as well as footprint plaster and tire mark rubbing tools, etc. After checking everything, they quickly loaded it into the vehicle. Meanwhile, Lu Chuan also convened Wang Shuai, a key member of the investigation team, along with several other investigation team members and special police officers, clearly defining their roles: Lu Chuan was responsible for overall on-site command and coordination; Yang Lin and Yang Sen were responsible for a comprehensive on-site investigation and the extraction of trace evidence; Wang Shuai was responsible for leading the investigation team to conduct a comprehensive survey of Qinjiagou and surrounding villages, searching for witnesses, and investigating suspicious persons and clues; the special police officers were responsible for on-site security, blocking surrounding roads, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from entering the scene, protecting the safety of the scene, and assisting in the investigation and investigation work.

With everything prepared, Lu Chuan led the investigation team, reconnaissance team, and special police team, driving police cars at breakneck speed to Qinjiagou. Qinjiagou is geographically remote; from the city to Qinjiagou, it requires more than an hour's drive on a highway, followed by half an hour on a rural dirt road. The rural dirt road is narrow, rugged, and bumpy, covered with gravel and potholes. The police cars bounced violently on it, and the team members, sitting in the car, dared not relax for a moment. They took advantage of the time to rest and recharge while mentally reviewing the possibilities of the case and preparing for any unforeseen circumstances. (End of Chapter)
