Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

Gao Dazhi and Huang Hai were startled and quickly stood up.

A murder case! This is a major case!

"What happened?"

Gao Dazhi spoke first, quickly putting on his leather hat.

"I don't know the specifics, but the person who died was an officer from the warehouse. The local police station called and Deputy Section Chief Wu has already gone over there. They told us that anyone who didn't have any specific tasks this morning should go over there."

"Okay, I'm coming right now!"

After Gao Dazhi finished speaking, he said to Lao Liu, "Qingsong and I are going there. You and Huang Hai stay here and keep busy."

Old Liu also looked serious: "Alright, go ahead!"

"Walk!"

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi urged Zhao Qingsong and then hurriedly went out.

……

After coming out, I went to the bike shed, got my bike, and rode to my destination.

The crime scene was near the factory's residential area; it took several turns to finally arrive at the location.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered nearby to watch the spectacle.

The gaze was fixed on the slope below.

Gao Dazhi and his group parked their car on the side of the road and walked down the slope.

The slope isn't very steep, but it gets very slippery after it snows.

"Director Yang, Section Chief Wu!"

Gao Dazhi greeted him after he arrived.

Both of them nodded.

Several people were examining the body and the surrounding environment, while a woman was holding the body on the ground and wailing.

"Waaaaah... Old Jia, why did you have to leave like this!"

"Waaaah... How are we supposed to live?!"

……

Zhao Qingsong frowned upon seeing this scene. Although he was not a professional investigator, he knew that the scene should be sealed off and so many people should not be allowed to come.

This is tampering with the crime scene!

Gao Dazhi saw Lao Zhou looking down and searching for something, so he went over and asked, "Lao Zhou, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou straightened up: "We had just entered the factory this morning when the phone rang in Deputy Section Chief Wu's office. He and I came here first, and Xu Qiang informed you. Chief Yang from the police station has already arrived with his men."

"Hmm, who was the person who had the accident?"

"That's Jia Fugui, the warehouse clerk. That's his wife. It looks like she accidentally fell and froze to death. Probably last night."

Gao Dazhi frowned slightly: "Something happened last night?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the woman who was wailing and crying, and asked in confusion, "If something had happened last night, how could you not have noticed that your husband hadn't come home all night?"

"They said they had a fight!"

Gao Dazhi nodded slightly upon hearing this, without saying anything.

He asked Zhao Qingsong, "Are you afraid?"

Zhao Qingsong said sullenly, "What's there to be afraid of!"

I wouldn't say I'm afraid.

But it's impossible not to feel a chill down your spine, after all, it's a corpse, and the corpse of a stranger at that.

"It's normal to be scared. Don't wander around. Just keep an eye on things from the side. If you find anything, remember to tell me."

"good!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed.

He observed the entire scene from the vicinity.

When a person dies, their fate must eventually be resolved.

Two hours later, the initial inspection was almost complete, and the personnel were taken away, leaving a group of people behind to continue surveying the site.

However, nothing could be found during the investigation, as the scene had been almost completely destroyed.

……

"Chief Yang! These are employees of our steel plant. We will also investigate them. We'll exchange information about the case later."

After they reached the top of the hill, Wu Zhiqiang and Yang shook hands.

Yang extended his hand and nodded: "Okay, we will send people to visit and investigate Jia Fugui's family. Since it involves the steel plant, we will need your cooperation."

"good!"

They then began to pack up.

Looking at the people at the scene, Wu Zhiqiang didn't rush to send them back. Instead, he said, "The police station has limited personnel, so we need help with the investigation. Zhou Wenlong, you and Xu Qiang should investigate the residents along Jia Fugui's route to see if there's any information."

"Gao Dazhi, go to the factory and the warehouse and ask about the situation."

"good!"

The group agreed.

The group split up halfway through.

Gao Dazhi and the other person returned to the department.

……

"What happened? Who's in trouble?"

When Lao Liu saw him coming, he asked him curiously.

Gao Dazhi went to his desk, found some pens and paper, and said, "Jia Fugui from the warehouse froze to death on the way. We need to investigate the specific circumstances."

I'll go to the warehouse to check.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi called Zhao Qingsong to go to the warehouse to investigate.

Zhao Qingsong naturally went along with them.

……

The investigation at the warehouse lasted for more than an hour, and they questioned six or seven people there.

They inquired about Jia Fugui's behavior over the past few days, whether he had made any enemies, whether anything unusual had happened, and who he had been with and what he had been doing...

They asked very detailed questions.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single clue.

Regardless of whether these people are lying or not, even if they are, there's no way to tell.

The incident happened at night.

……

At noon, when it was lunchtime, Gao Dazhi had no choice but to finish work and go eat.

The meeting will continue in the afternoon.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wu Zhiqiang and his group then returned.

Sun Guodong had some business to attend to, but he's back now and has held a meeting with everyone.

……

In the office, Sun Guodong, smoking a cigarette and frowning, said, "I already know about Jia Fugui's matter. The factory takes this matter very seriously. Let's talk it over together and see what's going on."

Zhiqiang, what's your word?

Wu Zhiqiang stubbed out his cigarette, lit another one, and then said, "We've also done our investigation. We just came back from the police station and exchanged opinions. Jia Fugui died last night. We couldn't find any eyewitnesses. He was found by a passerby this morning. The scene was almost completely destroyed."

The investigation is quite difficult, but based on our interviews, we've tentatively concluded that Jia Fugui had an argument with his wife last night, fell down, and froze to death. Gao Dazhi, what's the situation on your end?

Upon hearing this, Gao Dazhi took out his notes and shook his head: "I didn't find anything on my end either. Jia Fugui is well-liked. Before the incident, he hadn't had any conflicts with anyone, and there were no unusual phenomena. He just went to get off work and left work normally."

Sun Guodong pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

He said, "Alright, we'll see what the police station says then! Do you have any other discoveries?"

After glancing around and seeing that no one was speaking, he prepared to adjourn the meeting for the time being.

Zhao Qingsong frowned slightly.

As if remembering something, he asked, "Um... I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I can say it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze in that direction.

Gao Dazhi asked directly, "What's wrong?"

Seeing everyone's gazes, Zhao Qingsong thought for a moment and asked, "I have a few things to say, but before that, I'd like to ask what time the snow stopped last night! Does anyone know approximately what time?"

Old Zhou asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this? I don't know the exact time, but at 1 o'clock, when I got up to go to the toilet, the snow had basically stopped, and there were still a few snowflakes left."
