Chapter 3 Clues

This is the first day of the project team officially starting, and no useful clues have been found yet. It is concerning to see injuries; it does not bode well in any way.

He gently bent down and picked up a sharp knife from the ground

Buzz!

"It is precisely because you can take on ten that you must go back," Wang Zheng said with a bitter smile. "The officers who usually handle interrogations certainly do not possess the same level of intimidation as you do, and I have heard that you are the best student at the capital police academy. I believe you are definitely more knowledgeable in interrogation than we are."

What?

Good

Gao Feng is too impulsive, while Bai Ling is too curious. Unless we find useful evidence at the scene, bringing both of them along may easily lead to conflict, and I am also uncertain about the accuracy of my observations

Foolish! The expression on Gao Feng's face was also quite displeased

Are you ready to proceed to the next step? Do not procrastinate, otherwise the work will not be completed!" Wang Zheng said to the air

The arrangement here is quite different from what you imagined..." The ancient hero glanced at Huamei at this point and noticed that the other party's expression remained indifferent, so he continued, "It is very different from what you imagined, much more spacious, not as cramped as you think.

Tetanus ... ... spacious. Wang Zheng lowered his head in a daze, looking at the wound that had already been stitched up by Bai Ling, and suddenly his eyes brightened, "This canning factory is close to the highway and far from the city center. Is there a shuttle bus provided for employees to commute?"

The ancient heroes who had been watching from a distance happened to catch the moment when Wang Zheng cut his finger, and they all rushed over at once

"Good, the potential for crime has emerged." The ancient hero rubbed his palms together, and as he spoke, an excitement that did not belong to his age erupted in his eyes

There is no doubt that, based on the review of the case materials along the way, it can be definitively established that the canned food consumed by the criminal comes from this single processing point in City B, where all the meat is processed and packaged before being sent to supermarkets for sale

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "How about this, we will split into two groups. Gao Feng, you take Bai Ling and Hua Mei to the city bureau to take statements from the employees of the canned food factory, while Professor Gu and I will go to the bungalow to take a look."

Wang Zheng remained silent for a long time before finally taking a step forward, walking to the dead pig hanging on the hook.

As Wang Zheng stepped into the canning factory, he startled the flies that were clinging to the meat. Countless flies buzzed around him in the air, their wings creating a tremendous noise.

I am a butcher, oh no, I am an employee

The canned food factory was raided and sealed off by the police, resulting in some meat products being either properly processed or not processed at all

On the ground, where a dead pig hangs, lies a blood-stained sharp knife, quietly resting. A few large flies are perched on the back of the knife, contrasting with the severed artery and trachea on the pig's neck. It is not difficult to deduce that this is a tool commonly used during pig slaughter.

Wang Zheng opened his eyes, staring blankly at the wound on his left thumb, from which blood continuously seeped out, dripping onto the floor, pooling drop by drop.

Then it's settled, we will meet at that time! Gu Xia clapped his hands and turned to make a phone call to Wang Yongchang.

No. Gaofeng looked at Wang Zheng as if he were an idiot and continued, "This canned food company is a small private enterprise. When I arrived, I had already taken a statement from the factory director. He is so poor that he can barely afford to keep his pants dry. The profits of the canning factory can only cover his daily expenses; how could he possibly provide any benefits or welfare for the employees?"

Do I still have a choice?" Huamei looked at the ancient hero and shrugged indifferently

"Alright, I agree!" Gao Feng once again looked at Wang Zheng with a hint of admiration in his eyes

The bungalow, which is about a fifteen-minute walk from here, has very few households left as it is scheduled for demolition. Gao Feng recalled

"Nonsense, if the pig slaughtering area is not made a bit more spacious, how can we work?" Gao Feng frowned.

Wang Zheng spoke as he took a step forward, standing in front of a dead pig. He gently raised the knife and pressed it against the neck of the dead pig, pulling it open with force, causing the veins on the back of his hand to bulge.

The instruments here are very unclean! The rust on the knife can cause your tetanus, and there are more infectious diseases on that blood rust. You are being too reckless!" Bai Ling, disregarding the unpleasant smell around her, immediately took out her medical kit to start stitching up Wang Zheng's wound

I have no objections either. Bai Ling nodded seriously, then looked at Wang Zheng with difficulty and said: "However, his wound, although I have already provided emergency treatment, must be treated at the nearest hospital for a tetanus shot."

Before killing any animal, it is necessary to first bleed it out, ensuring that the animal is dead; otherwise, a dying animal may struggle, and one person's strength may not be sufficient to control it

How can you be sure

I saw the shadow of that diner, but he is very likely not an employee of this canning factory; he might be, but he could be doing some inconsequential work

Wang Zheng closed his eyes and gently took a step, the scenes inside the canning factory were etched in his mind. As he closed his eyes, an image of the canning factory appeared in his mind.

Everything at the scene indicates that the employees of the canning factory left in a hurry, likely due to the sudden visit of the police

Soon, the vehicle prepared by the police arrived at the canning factory and took away Gao Feng and the other two. As for Wang Zheng and Gu Xia, after some discussion, the two decided to walk there and contact them later.

Wang Zheng! Are you alright?

"Why do we need to send those three away?" As they walked along the road, Gu Xia could not help but voice his deep-seated confusion and asked.

I do enjoy hearing what you just said. Gao Feng has agreed to Wang Zheng's request, but he pointed at the two people, Hua Mei and the other, and asked: "What about those two?"

"Where does the employee live?" Wang Zheng inquired.

What have you seen?" The ancient hero was very curious

"Hair removal, throat cutting, and then opening its abdomen, this way one can obtain the well-preserved internal organs in shape." Wang Zheng seemed to have discovered something, his eyes filled with excitement

During these past few days, the meat that has been continuously exposed to the scorching sun has completely spoiled and is emitting a foul odor, which is particularly appealing to flies. As a result, it is covered with countless flies, and some of the decayed meat has even developed wriggling maggots.

"This is the processing site, but not the crime scene," Wang Zheng muttered to himself. Upon entering the site, he quickly discerned the crux of the issue.

Certainly, in addition to the scars on its neck, the pig's body also bears wounds. There are some marks on its back that have been scorched by high temperatures, with parts of its fur curled and emitting a burnt smell. Turning to face it, one can clearly see that its abdomen has been cut open with a long incision, exposing half of its internal organs, and a small portion of its intestines is in a basin on the ground.

The basin is merely a container used for temporarily storing internal organs

Moreover, the master who has to kill several pigs every day cannot enjoy that kind of pleasure; the slaughter only makes him feel nauseous. It seems that the ancient hero also understood something.

Bai Ling, I have heard that you are the best forensic expert on the road. If there are any new clues, they can be examined immediately. As for Hua Mei..." Wang Zheng paused, "She is the best psychologist. With her assistance, you will be able to determine whether the other party is lying!

Because of this, Wang Zheng shook his left hand and said with a smile: "Imitating a crime is easy, imagining the method is easy, but actually doing it is very difficult. I have carefully observed the wounds on those pigs; undoubtedly, they were all fatal cuts to the neck. I suspect that during the interrogation, Gao Feng will be dealing with an experienced old master, because there is too much to handle after slaughtering pigs, and a novice would not be able to manage a canning factory."

Indeed. Wang Zheng nodded and said, "He must be a novice, not valued at the canning factory. Moreover, given his certain life experience, it is very likely that he has undergone training in the culinary field, but he has not been exposed to blood. He needs the bloody stimulation, as well as delicious food"

Previously, he understood very clearly that Wang Zhengcai did not genuinely want Gao Feng to take notes; the true purpose was to conduct a field investigation at the bungalow. However, he was unaware of what the other party's actual intentions were

"Why is it me?" Gao Feng's expression was somewhat displeased, "Isn't my skill more suited for fieldwork? I can take on ten of them."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, holding the sharp knife tightly against his fingers, and with a swift thrust, he plunged it forcefully into the pig's neck. Then, he drew the blade down against the lines of his palm, but the uncontrollable tip of the knife ended up cutting his thumb.

Rest assured, there is a health clinic not far from the bungalow, and I can go there for the shot. Wang Zheng shook the mobile map in his hand. It turns out that he had already searched for the map while Bai Ling was still speaking.

"What about you?" Gu Xia looked at Hua Mei and the other two and asked
