Nan Shu's smile vanished instantly. She looked up at the other four dogs staring at her from a distance.

She saw a familiar longing in their eyes.

Pushing open the door and stepping out of the shed, Nan Shu briefly explained the situation to Ji Feng.

"Okay, I understand. I'll have the forensic doctor come too."

Ji Feng took out his phone and said.

Although at first glance there were no traces of blood or anything like that in the room, it was still necessary to investigate carefully just in case.

"Officers, have you... finished looking? Now can you tell me what Chen Peng did wrong?"

Just as Ji Feng finished making the call and put his phone back in his pocket, he heard Qiu Ju's voice, which was almost blown away by the cold wind.

She had her hands in her pockets, her jacket zipped up all the way, and a woolen hat on her head, revealing only her eyes. Her long hair peeked out from under the hat brim and was blown about in all directions, clearly indicating that she was freezing.

If Qiu Ju was initially in a daze, the cold wind finally brought her to her senses.

"I'm sorry, the case is still under investigation and we cannot provide further information at this time. We hope you can stay in Beijing and cooperate with the police investigation during this period."

Qiu Ju's eyes trembled, and her lips twitched beneath her mask; she was clearly frightened.

"Okay, okay, officer."

The forensic team arrived at the scene quickly and, after a careful examination, found no traces of human life other than Chen Peng.

"It seems we can only wait and see what happens with the Gansu police."

Ji Fengdao.

Nan Shu put her hands in her pockets, stomped her feet, looked at the trace evidence investigator and forensic doctor who were packing up their tools, and gave a soft "hmm".

Chen Peng came to Beijing seven years ago and spent most of his time on film sets before that, so it was practically impossible for him to have had the time to commit the crime and use a dog to cover up the crime.

Nothing was found in the shed either.

So... the most likely explanation is that before Chen Peng came to Beijing, he fed those dogs with human flesh.

Chen Peng is 51 years old this year. The word "once" could refer to ten years ago, or it could refer to twenty or thirty years ago.

When he was working as an unknown forest ranger in Gansu Province, in an era when surveillance cameras and mobile phones were not as common as they are now, and the police did not share information, there was a lot of room for manipulation.

……

Chaoyang District Criminal Investigation Detachment.

As soon as Nan Shu entered the hall, Nan Punian and Xu Yunli came to greet her.

"How about it?"

Nanpu's Years of Life.

After receiving Nan Shu's call, Nan Punian immediately contacted Xu Yunli. When he arrived at the film and television base, he happened to see Nan Yannian leaving. He learned that Nan Shu had gone on a visit with Ji Feng, so he simply went to the branch office to wait for them.

Both are police officers in Hangzhou, and they need to apply for procedures to handle cases across districts.

The case has only just begun and there is no shortage of manpower, so Nan Punian and his companion cannot get involved and can only wait in the lobby.

"Nothing has been found yet..."

Ji Feng paused, then looked at the two of them. "Let's go to the conference room to talk."

Nan Punian and the other two may not interfere, but that doesn't mean they can't listen in. Didn't the conference today say that we need to unite the internal forces of the police and promote friendly cooperation among different regions?

meeting room.

More detailed information about Chen Peng was presented to the public. Chen Peng's parents passed away twelve years ago, and before coming to Beijing, he lived in a brick house built in the mountains.

He worked as a forest ranger for nearly twenty years, gradually expanding his yard and raising about thirty dogs.

During Ji Feng and Nan Shu's visit, Chen Peng was completely clueless, either pretending to be tired or sleepy, or saying that his heart hurt. He didn't act like a "Teacher Chen" at all; he was just a seasoned sly old man.

Indeed, these days, in that circle, anyone can be called "teacher," so it's not surprising that someone like Chen Peng is addressed as such.

Ji Feng was sorting through the case and planning the next steps in the investigation.

The phone rang. It was a video call from the Gansu Provincial Police.

Ji Fengyi answered the call.

A face appeared on the projector, and Ji Feng projected his phone directly onto the big screen.

The man was wearing a police uniform, had dark skin, and his face had the characteristic high-altitude red hue of Gansu Province. He was about thirty years old, with a standard square face and a serious expression.

"There's a discovery."

Before Ji Feng could ask, he turned the camera around, and what he saw was a corner of the eaves of an old-fashioned brick and tile house, and then he moved down.

Everyone's gaze followed.

The old red brick wall, about two meters high, the abandoned vegetable garden overgrown with weeds, and the hard ground of the yard where you hit a shovel.

Two police officers, both dressed in uniform, were digging in the yard with shovels. Two small mounds of earth had already been piled up next to them, indicating that they had been digging for a while.

The camera moved forward and aimed at the pit.

It was a cloudy day in Gansu Province, and the sky was dark. Large areas of sunlight were blocked by tall trees, making the courtyard appear even more gloomy and desolate.

Upon seeing the scene in the pit, the expressions of everyone in the conference room instantly turned cold, their eyes fixed on the large screen.

All I could see was a small pit.

Ragged clothes and layers of white bones.

Like a mango crepe... a skeleton covered with a thin layer of soil, scattered neatly yet fragmentedly, but judging from the number of leg bones, there were at least three bodies.

And at this time.

The pit was less than a meter deep.

One can only imagine how many corpses are still buried here...

"brute!"

Someone muttered a curse under their breath.

The pile of corpses indicated that the victims had been dead for at least ten years.

Ji Feng's face was extremely ugly. Although he had long expected that Chen Peng had killed more than one person, seeing it with his own eyes still gave him goosebumps.

“I have already notified the forensic doctor to come to the scene. If it is convenient, I hope that Captain Ji and your team can transfer Chen Peng to Gansu Province.”

Chen Peng bought a house in Beijing and transferred his household registration there as well. According to the principles of case handling, Ji Feng should take over the investigation first, and the case should also be handled in Beijing.

However, this case is too special. There are a large number of victims, all of whom were killed in Gansu Province. The missing persons reports and population registration at the police station should still be on file with the Gansu police. This is a time-consuming and physically demanding task.

Handing Chen Peng over to the Gansu provincial police will make interrogation and investigation easier.

"Okay, I'll set off in a bit and personally deliver the person to you."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Feng gave instructions to his subordinates and began preparations for handing over Chen Peng.

"Team Leader Nan, Xiao Nan, Forensic Doctor Xu, thank you for your help."

Ji Feng escorted Nan Shu and the other two to the door.

The bodies of the murderer and the victim have been found. Now, the task is to verify the missing persons information, confirm the identity of the victim, and find the complete chain of evidence against Chen Peng for committing the crime.

These all take time.

Nan Shu shook her head: "You're too kind, Uncle Ji. It was just a coincidence."

"I will explain in detail in the report at that time." Whether it was a coincidence or not, this major case would not have been uncovered if it weren't for Nan Shu.

Chen Peng, on the other hand, will most likely continue to enjoy the benefits of the internet and live out his retirement in peace.
