Chapter Seven, The Master of the Head

Only he protects her, for the vague feelings in the heart of the youth, for he has aspired to be a police officer since childhood, and also because of the innate chivalry that resides in his bones. Therefore, she loves him and does not love any other man

Gu Long sighed: "It seems that one cannot remain idle. Back in my days at the Public Security University, although I was not considered a top student, my grades were quite good. Who would have thought that after living in this idyllic little county for ten years, my mind has become so dull that I no longer know where to begin."

This is what I personally inquired about. Gu Long said: "He recalled for a long time and mentioned that about ten days ago, a group came by. The morning after they checked in, they were supposed to set out to watch the sunrise, which required leaving in the middle of the night. However, they all overslept, and it was not until the sun was high in the sky that they got up, including the innkeeper and his wife. You know, rural families are accustomed to rising early, so this was quite strange. At the time, they even said that perhaps they were enchanted by some mountain spirit."

That's all!

It has passed

This person is named Wang San, an outsider. He is single and thirty-eight years old. He came to Jing County a few years ago and has been making a living by selling travel souvenirs and drawing quick portraits for tourists. He lives alone and rarely interacts with others. We have also investigated several local vendors, confirming that he often frequents the area around the small waterfall in the back mountain. Aside from his reclusive personality, there are no negative records associated with him.

"What is this?" Gu Long asked

He entered the conference room, cast a threatening glance at Gu Long, and began the case analysis meeting

He has only heard of students from the China Academy of Art who, while studying abroad, go to the square to draw portraits for tuition fees. There are also some in certain large cities in China, but he has never heard of anyone who has fallen on hard times drawing quick sketches in the mountains. Is he too ignorant and uninformed?

I would rather it be this way; if all the police were so idle that they forgot how to solve cases, it would mean the entire country was as peaceful as Jing County, how wonderful that would be!" Yan Feng patted Gu Long's shoulder: "Stop being sentimental! Hurry back and check the archives of missing persons from these past few years. This Wang San is very likely hiding here on purpose; we need to uncover his background.

If there is no direct evidence, then these scattered clues are the most important

I do not know either. However, intuitively, I feel that this thing is rather strange. Take it all back to the police station

She always says: It was he who killed her

I have heard that the paintings are remarkably lifelike and strikingly similar. During the peak tourist season, business is exceptionally good, which is quite enviable

Then first check his activities in Jing County over the past few years. If there is nothing, we will trace back further. Also, take a look at the wanted files; it shouldn't be the case that he committed some crime related to books and came here to avoid trouble, only to end up being pursued by enemies.

What are the results of the on-site inspection

Everyone believes that those who can pursue such a beauty possess exceptional skills; in reality, their connection is merely due to their status as high school classmates. Ula's beauty has attracted the covetous gaze of many unscrupulous individuals. After giving birth to her with an unknown Russian man, her mother ran off to the other side of the world with another foreign man, leaving her only a sum for living expenses.

I only asked him to go to the conference room, was it really necessary to send a young female officer?

The forensic team is still working, but based on the current situation at the scene, there are not many valuable items, aside from the footprints of that woman

This has drawn the keen attention of Yan Feng; if the owner of this head is identified, it may soon be possible to ascertain the whereabouts of Ula's head

A criminal police officer nodded

He is a police officer, exuding an aura of strength, decisiveness, and intelligence, a nemesis to all evil and darkness. Yet, he is also human, particularly vulnerable in matters of the heart. Those inexplicable dreams leave him too weary to love anyone else. These feelings, he cannot share with anyone.

"So, in the past few weeks, has anything unusual happened?" Yan Feng interjected, "Have you asked the shop owner?"

"There is no mistake at https://m.hetushu.com, so this is currently the focus of the investigation," Gu Long nodded and said

"Team Yan, the ancient bureau is requesting your presence in the conference room." A young female officer knocked and entered.

"Explain the policy to him, and do not let him speak indiscriminately. This is a homicide; do not let it devolve into that feudal superstition nonsense!" Gu Long advised.

He squinted his eyes, lying on the sofa, feeling powerless as he thought

According to the shop owner, this period is the peak tourist season. For the past two weeks, his small shop has been fully booked, accommodating a total of four groups of guests. However, only Cheng Linglong has stayed in that storage room. Usually, that room is locked, as his wife is quite particular about cleanliness and cleans it every few days, but she has never discovered anything unusual.

He was originally supposed to accompany her to Liangjie Mountain, but he canceled due to a fit of temper. Since that day, she has been missing, and the case of the four missing university students from the Traditional Chinese Medicine College in Yuan Shui City has become a ten-year unresolved mystery

"Look, your mind isn't completely rigid yet," Yan Feng smiled, "A little stimulation and it becomes agile again. Never mind, let's return to the police station and initiate the needle-in-a-haystack operation."

He felt that she had not died, yet she often appeared in his only dream, so real and painful. Her repeated appearances made him repeatedly condemn himself, making him feel that falling in love with another woman was a sin, a complete betrayal

Later, they were admitted to different universities, and the two fell deeply in love, becoming an enviable couple in the eyes of many. Subsequently, in the year of their graduation, a minor misunderstanding led to him never seeing her again

"How is the speed of the painting?" Yan Feng expressed some doubts: "What is the level like?"

Since the discovery of the dislocated corpse last night, not much evidence has been collected so far, so we will only have a preliminary discussion for now

Wang San resides in a modest house in the town, located in a rather remote area, requiring several twists and turns to reach. It gives the impression that he does not wish to be found by anyone.

First, let's go to his house and also find someone to investigate the situation of this Wang San in detail What do you think, Lao Gu

He knows that he is very attractive, especially when he smiles, but that guy doesn't need to throw him into a romantic situation at all times. Gu Long has good intentions, wanting him to settle down quickly, but others only know about Ula's disappearance and are unaware of his cold, dark dreams. They do not know that whenever he has even the slightest affection for a woman, Ula will invade his dreams, lamenting his ruthlessness.

"I will listen to you; after all, you are the detective we invited." Gu Long made a teasing remark, yet his expression was quite serious, indicating that this murder case and the *book* were causing him considerable stress

He carefully examined Wang San's belongings, finding nothing of note except for a few small models. These models were made of wood and painted in various bright colors, resembling pyramids, yet not quite; the sides of the models had sharp edges

I believe there is another key point, which is to investigate the tour group from ten days ago. If there were any suspects in this case among them, it is possible that they could have misled others to commit the crime. Although I am not a forensic expert, based on the degree of decomposition of the body, the likelihood of the crime occurring at that time is the highest. The timing aligns, and there was an opportunity to commit the crime, so this line of inquiry should be prioritized.

That seems to be a muddy footprint, but I have been here for several days, and it hasn't rained at all, has it

Furthermore, the shop owner has already recognized the owner of the head.

"Oh, thank you," Yan Feng replied with a smile, rising and walking past the slightly blushing young policewoman, cursing Gu Long in his heart.

Upon entering the room, Yan Feng immediately concluded that Wang San was undoubtedly a pseudonym, and he was certainly someone who had received an artistic education. This was evident from the furnishings and taste displayed in the room. Although it bore the disarray typical of a bachelor, many aspects revealed a unique and thoughtful design. Further examination of his paintings and some landscape photographs only confirmed his suspicions.
