Chapter 1052 Policewoman 134
Shunzi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "They dug quite deep, probably about a meter. This kind of work is not suitable for people who are not in good health."

The deeper you go, the harder it gets, as the soil becomes, demanding a high level of physical strength from the digger. The fact that the murderer could dig over a meter deep shows they must have considerable physical ability.

Captain Qian didn't have time to think about how strong the killer was. The moment Xiao Zhang and the others unearthed the bones, he had already contacted the district bureau. They had a lot of people, but with ten suspicious locations and limited tools, how could they possibly manage?
Tan You didn't have to do any physical labor at all; she just stood there. However, everyone's eyes kept drifting towards Tan You while they were digging up the body, especially the police officers from Luoxia District. They genuinely felt that following Tan You had really broadened their horizons.

It was late at night, a time when all should have been quiet, but this nameless hill was almost brightly lit. The director and political commissar of the Luoxia District Public Security Bureau, along with a group of other leaders, were all on site, standing by and watching the police officers work.

Looking at the unearthed bones and the dried bodily fluids in the plastic bag, everyone's eyes were extremely solemn. The plastic bag was exactly the same, the bones were removed exactly the same, and apart from the flesh having rotted into bodily fluids, the entire modus operandi was exactly the same as in Case 126.

Director Liu gritted his teeth: "We must investigate this thoroughly. This is outrageous! Ten cases in ten years, that's one per year. This is outrageous. Has no one reported it?"

The officers lowered their heads and remained silent. Every year, people in the city and district report missing persons, but how difficult are missing persons cases to solve?
Old Yang crossed his arms: "Xiao Lu, now it's your turn. Can you draw a human face?"

Tan You looked at the skulls that had been unearthed under the lamplight. Because the bodies were buried in the mountains, the bones decomposed particularly quickly. Now, all ten bodies were basically skeletons.

Especially the first few skulls that were unearthed, their skulls were all completely clean. And they were particularly brittle, they would break if you weren't careful.

“You can draw it,” Tan You said, staring at it for a while before reaching for her backpack. Xiao Zhang, ever observant, handed her her notebook and pencil. Director Liu and the political commissar watched as Tan You examined the skulls.

Tan You's sketching skills are well-known in the police system. Without asking any questions, Director Liu handed five sketches to Tan You and then handed them to the officer next to him. The officer ran down the mountain, as every second counted.

After spending the entire night on the mountain, gathering all the necessary evidence, they finally descended, yawning. Naturally, with such a commotion on the hill, there were already onlookers watching the spectacle.

The officers were all exhausted and just wanted to find a place to lie down and rest. Once they got into the car, they started snoring. Tan You sat in the passenger seat, next to Xiao Liu, who was focused on driving.

The snoring of Lao Huang and Lao Wu in the back seat was deafening. Xiao Liu lowered her voice and asked, "Captain Lu, are these newly unearthed individuals really the suspects in Case 126?"

Tan You looked out the window: "I can't be sure, but as long as we catch the person, that's fine. From what I can tell from Captain Qian's words, they've already made up their minds."

Xiaoliu: "If it were me, I would also believe it. The same plastic bag, the same deboning method, except that instead of dumping the body, it was buried."

Tan You: "Suppose, suppose the murderer is the suspect in case 126, then why do you think he changed from dumping the body to burying it?"

Old Huang's snoring subsided: "Perhaps he's been scared off by these recent case reorganizations?"

“If he was really scared, he shouldn’t have committed the crime,” Xiaoliu glanced at the rearview mirror. “But burying a body in a place like this would indeed make it difficult to be discovered.”

Old Wu also opened his eyes: "This kind of person might be intimidated for a while, but he won't be scared. He'll only think about how to make his case more perfect. He won't stop because of this. His mentality has become abnormal."

Tan You didn't discuss with everyone whether the killer was mentally unstable. Having finally found some clues, she naturally followed them. As for any speculation or reasoning, she just listened and let it go.

Inside the Luoxia District Public Security Bureau, Tan You and the others were immediately summoned to the main conference room upon arrival. Director Liu, his face grim, declared: "This is now the biggest case in our Luoxia District Bureau. Everyone must spare no effort to resolve this case." Captain Qian asked, "Should we merge it with Case 126?"

Director Liu kept thinking about this problem on the way: "Don't merge the cases for now."

The officers and the money-hunting team looked puzzled. Director Liu explained, "Case 126 has been thoroughly investigated. Even if we merge the cases now, it won't provide any clues for the new case."

"At this point, merging the cases would restrict our manpower. We should handle Case 715 first. As for Case 126, we can interrogate the suspects after we arrest them."

Yes, that's how simple and straightforward the police department's case naming is. Today is July 15th, so the newly discovered case is named 715.

Captain Qian agreed, and then his gaze fell on Tan You. Tan You sat up straight: "I'll draw the sketch as soon as possible, and as for confirming the identity, that's up to you, Captain Qian."

This is exactly the answer Captain Qian wanted. Why did these ten newly discovered victims have neither ID cards nor any objects to prove their identities? Now they can only rely on Tan You.

Without confirming the identity of the deceased, everything is just wishful thinking.

Old Huang was naturally reluctant to see his team's elite members used like this, but he couldn't voice his objections. While everyone had their own selfish motives, ultimately, they all wanted to solve cases.

They were busy until noon before the ten sketches were finally delivered to Captain Qian. Looking at the possible ancestral homes of the victims marked on them, Captain Qian's hands trembled: "Several of them are from other provinces?"

Tan You yawned: "Hmm, I don't think his face looks like that of someone from K Province. I really need to go back to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

"Captain Qian, please call me if you need anything."

As Tan You left the police station with blurry eyes, she yawned again. Two tears welled up in her eyes and clung to the corners of her eyes. She hadn't slept for almost two days, and if she didn't rest soon, she was afraid she would suddenly die.

Tan You is reluctant to return to the mission world before the murderer has been caught.

Now that she has come into this world, her greatest wish is to catch more criminals and bring them to justice.

Coordinating with other provinces was a task Qian Dadu couldn't handle either, so in the end, Director Liu had to ask the provincial department to step in. Upon seeing that familiar sketch again, several leaders knew this was another case handled by Tan You.

Suddenly, a great deal of people were paying attention to the 715 case.

Tan You didn't care about anything else; she slept soundly in the hotel. When she woke up again, it was almost 10 p.m. After finding a place to eat, Tan You prepared to go and entertain the troops.
