When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1062 Policewoman 143
Old Huang understood: "Oh, I see. Does anyone fish in that big reservoir?"

The captain smiled, and Old Huang immediately understood. Because it was a collective operation, no one usually fished there. But for those who lived by the reservoir, there were naturally fewer restrictions.

Tan You watched Lao Huang and the staff joking around, her gaze sweeping over the small boats moored on the shore in the distance: "Do these small boats all belong to the owners of the agritainment businesses?"

“That should be the case,” the captain said loudly. “Some guests do bring their own boats, and small boats like these aren’t expensive. It’s convenient for them to come to the reservoir with their own boats, but most people still choose to come and rent boats.”

Xiao Liu memorized the boats on the shore, then leaned closer to Tan You: "Check these boats?"

Tan You nodded: "We'll talk about it when we get to the shore. Let's enjoy the quiet fishing time for now."

The small boat had its own trawl net, and the reservoir was large, so there were already plenty of fish in it. Now, as soon as the net was cast, Tan You could already hear the fish's tails slapping against the water.

As the net was about to be hauled in, Xiao Zhang and the others tacitly made room for the captain and two other crew members to collect the large fish from the trawl net.

The trawl nets weren't just full of fish; occasionally, there were crabs or aquatic plants too. Tan You sat silently to one side, watching. Just as a staff member was about to pick up some aquatic plants and throw them into the reservoir, she suddenly spoke up: "Wait a moment."

The staff were puzzled, then saw the stunningly beautiful policewoman quickly move over and take the water plants from his hand for a close examination. Everyone else gathered around Tan You, eager to see what she had discovered.

Tan You examined the water plants carefully, turning them over and over, and finally pulled out two small bones, each about one centimeter long. The bones were completely clean, devoid of any remaining flesh, washed away by the water, and had a distinctive yellowish hue characteristic of human bones.

Even if they hadn't seen a pig run, they'd at least eaten pork. Everyone on both boats fell silent. Old Huang stared at the two small bones in Tan You's palm, then looked down at the water, and the next second he pulled out his phone and started calling for backup.

This is a case in their Luoxia District, a case involving Captain Qian. Human bones have already been found. Although it's uncertain whether it can be combined with the 428 case, now that the case has been discovered, it must be thoroughly investigated.

Now everyone stopped fishing and returned to the reservoir. The police officers who had stayed on the shore to barbecue also hung their heads, looking listless.

As soon as Tan You got ashore, she started preparing for dinner: "Let's find something to eat quickly. Once things get really busy, we won't even have time to drink water. This meal might be the last meal before we solve the case."

Her reminder spurred everyone into action. Xiao Zhang quickly ordered food, determined to fill their stomachs before Captain Qian arrived. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they gathered together to look at the small bones Tan You had dug out of the water plants.

Xiaoliu examined it carefully: "Is it a bone from the hand? I think it looks quite like one."

Tan You nodded: "Yes, it should be the bone from the ring finger. There are fish in this reservoir, so the meat was probably eaten by the fish a long time ago. As for how many years..."

She shook her head as she spoke: "I can't say for sure."

Old Huang: "It's alright, the Luoxia District Bureau has its own forensic doctors, they can make a judgment. How do you expect us to find someone? Drain the reservoir? That's too much of an undertaking."

Tan You: "Let's find a water ghost to go down and check. If there really is a corpse in the reservoir, I guess everyone will be traumatized by river delicacies for the next few months."

"This reservoir doesn't just take in water without letting it out; it also releases water from its gates regularly."

The bespectacled boy looked pained: "Master, I can picture it now."

Tan You ignored him and glanced out the window. From her angle, she could clearly see all the boats moored along the reservoir. Xiao Zhang stood up: "Shunzi and I will go ask about the boats."

Tan You nodded: "Ask in more detail."

Xiao Zhang: "Understood, we'll go first."

When Captain Qian and the earlier group of water ghosts arrived, Xiao Zhang and Shunzi had almost brought the reservoir owner to tears during their interrogation. The owner was a typical businessman: chubby with a receding hairline and a thick gold chain around his neck.

He was the epitome of a nouveau riche, but Zhang and Shunzi couldn't see anything else amiss.

Tan You didn't suspect the reservoir owner, but since the case was discovered in the large reservoir, the reservoir owner would definitely have to be called in and questioned.

With so many police officers present, the reservoir owner became quite compliant, answering all their questions. When Xiao Zhang inquired about the small boats moored on the shore, Mr. Zhang opened up: "Initially, these boats were used by our employees to feed the fish in the reservoir."

"Later, when guests came to visit, they would hire boats to go out and play. City people had never seen these things before, and everything they did seemed strange. The environment here is also nice. Sometimes when we went out to feed the fish, we would encounter swans and water birds, and the guests were willing to feed them."

“After a while, I bought a few more small boats. However, one of these boats is chartered by a customer on a long-term basis, and others cannot use it. He pays the rental fee at the beginning of each year and only comes a few times a year.”

Xiao Liu's ears twitched: "What's this guest's name? What does he do for a living? How often does he come?"

Mr. Zhang tried hard to recall: "He said his surname was Xu, but I don't know what he did for a living. He usually came once every two or three months. He came less often in winter, and usually in spring, summer and autumn."

"After arriving, we just sailed around and had fun."

Old Wu recalled everyone's analysis of the murderer's appearance: "This Mr. Xu, his family must be well-off, right? He usually drives here by himself?"

Mr. Zhang relaxed: "Yes, he usually drives a white sedan, and he is dressed quite well. He also wears a bracelet on his wrist, which he said is made of huanghuali wood."

"I estimate it will cost a lot of money."

“I’ve never asked where he lives, and he’s never told me.”

After being questioned like this, everyone increased their suspicion of the man surnamed Xu significantly. Captain Qian, listening nearby, also felt that this person was highly suspicious. Now that they knew of his existence and his license plate number, finding him shouldn't be difficult, right?
However, after the message was relayed back, the police checked and Captain Qian broke out in a cold sweat: "The license plate number could not be found."

The atmosphere immediately became tense upon hearing the result. Tan You remained the calmest, saying, "If we didn't find it, we didn't find it. The opponent must have used a deck."

Glasses arrived at this moment: "Master, the phone number that grandson left here is a black SIM card, so it can't be located at all."

Tan You wasn't angry at all; instead, she laughed: "Getting discouraged already? The cases we handle are all major and important cases. How could simple cases fall into our hands?"

“Since we can’t locate him using the license plate or his phone, we’ll have to resort to the most extreme methods.” She said, taking out her usual sketchbook: “Mr. Zhang, tell me in detail what this Mr. Xu looks like.”
