The morning glow is just beginning to brighten.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and climbed out of bed. After resting a bit, he rushed to the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

Entering the office of the cold case task force, he sure enough saw that many people had already arrived early.

Wan Baoming happened to come in from outside as well. Seeing Jiang Yuan, he said: "Last night, everyone scanned the missing persons according to the suspect information you made. There are no discoveries yet; we are preparing to go door-to-door for screening today."

"Do you think it was an acquaintance who committed the crime?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Door-to-door screening, besides asking about the situation, is most beneficial for observing the expressions, actions, and demeanor of family members. Some killers who kill for the first time are fine at first, but are exposed after a few sentences.

Besides that, if you visit a suspect's home and there is a smell of blood, or neighbors report that they were chopping meat all day, and you say you bought a sheep yesterday to cook at home, then surely no one will believe it.

In general, the confrontation between exquisite case-solving methods and exquisite murder plans is very rare in the criminal police team.

Generally speaking, one side always has to appear a bit rougher.

Wan Baoming naturally hoped the other side was rougher, but thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely, and added: "It's mainly to find the furnace. He should have dismembered the body before burning it, right? The requirements for the environment are still quite high."

"Yes, those without stairs at home basically can't do this job." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"So the residential complex where the incident occurred has always been highly suspected. This time is the same; let's see if we can find some clues." Wan Baoming replied uncertainly.

Jiang Yuan looked left and right; more than half of the people had already arrived in the conference room, but if we talk about utilizing the personnel advantage, everyone actually had nothing to do.

This is the Changyang City Criminal Police Team; everyone has a heart for promotion and salary increases, and even if it's a useless attendance, they will actively perform.

It's not like in the county bureau, where everyone starts to pay attention to meaning. Everyone is too lazy to do things without meaning. Anyway, they can't get promoted or get a salary increase.

"Let's go to the scene and take a look." Jiang Yuan felt that he couldn't waste such a group of people on PPTs. Yu Wenshu very likely just established the cold case task force and was embarrassed to take them away, but in the absence of cases, Jiang Yuan also couldn't sit still.

Wan Baoming was a bit surprised and said first: "Although Detachment Captain Yu is in command at the scene, Captain Zhu is in charge. Should I give him a call?"

"Okay." Jiang Yuan said as he packed his things, preparing to go out.

Wang Chuanxing was listening to him talk with his ears pricked up nearby and hurriedly followed, saying: "Captain Jiang, I'll carry your bag for you."

He took the initiative to help Jiang Yuan carry things and said with a smile on the side: "When we go over, what are we looking for?"

Wang Chuanxing is the one who truly benefited; he not only got a third-class merit but also emerged from the fierce peer competition. He was in such a good mood that it was like winning the lottery, and now he was counting on winning another one.

Jiang Yuan thought solemnly and said: "I don't know, but I think the person who discarded the charred bones indeed has a higher probability of living in that residential complex or near it."

Wang Chuanxing agreed: "Outsiders wouldn't be able to find such a suitable residential complex; it's just that there are villa areas in front, and whether driving over or taking a taxi over, it's easy to be recorded, right?"

Tang Jia also followed up at this time and said: "The collected bones are so small; I think the other party might have just thrown them away casually into the trash can, probably thinking they wouldn't be found. If it weren't for stray animals pulling them out and them being discovered, then there probably wouldn't be this case."

"They should have thrown them into the river." Wang Chuanxing said: "With just those dozen or so bone fragments, if thrown into the river, you wouldn't be able to find them even if you tried."

"They might be washed to the shore by the water. There are also those filmed by people or surveillance cameras by the river. Didn't Li Changyu have a case where he blocked the river and fished out bone fragments from it? The Hangzhou wife-killing case is similar; human tissue was fished out of the septic tank." Wan Baoming came over and said a few words, then went out with Jiang Yuan.

After getting in the car, Wan Baoming added: "The residential complex where the incident occurred, Jingling Residential Complex, has a scale of more than 3,000 households. Among them, the villa area has more than 1,000 households, and now more than 500 households live there. There are also about 2,000 households in the foreign-style houses, and the occupancy rate is 70% to 80%. This is one of the earliest villa residential complexes in Changyang City. The surrounding scale is even larger, and because it occupies a hilltop, people from nearby residential complexes like to come to Jingling Residential Complex. This is the main problem encountered now..."

Corpse disposal from out of town is usually done on major traffic arteries, highway entrances, or places like on or under bridges.

Imagine, a person drives thousands of miles, carrying a corpse or a basket of bone fragments after burning in the car. At this time, he arrives in another city; can he calmly find a villa residential complex far from the city center and discard them in the complex's trash can?

It's completely unnecessary.

Especially in the case of not being familiar with local traffic, many car owners usually don't want to take residential roads when driving, and taking a basket of bone fragments into a residential complex to find a trash can—thinking about it makes it feel abnormal.

It would be better to scatter them in the river.

Arriving at Jingling Residential Complex and looking at the scene, one will find that the situation in the complex is even more complex. Jingling Residential Complex is located on a hilltop, and there are five or six residential complexes of various sizes on the hillside and at the foot of the mountain, among which Anji Residential Complex at the foot of the mountain even built an artificial lake.
