Chapter 1244 - 616: Uneasy? Still in Shock
A sanitation worker, wearing leather boots, was heard approaching.
He walked quickly towards them, his face full of unease.
His face was filled with fear and anxiety.
He seemed to be about to be scared out of his wits.
Luo Fei also couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Sir, what’s the matter? Why does your complexion look so bad?"
Luo Fei looked somewhat puzzled.
The sanitation worker hurriedly explained.
"Officer, something terrible happened. Just now, we were cleaning up the local moat."
"We didn’t expect to find several burlap bags in the river. When we opened them, there was actually a corpse inside, deliberately tied up. It looks like someone intentionally disposed of the body."
The sanitation worker said this.
Makes Luo Fei and the others exchange glances.
"Where is the body?"
"Officer, because we’ve watched some law-related shows before, we know you’re not supposed to move a body casually. So, we didn’t dare to touch the body. We’re waiting for you to come over and inspect!"
Looking at the other person, he seemed somewhat shaky.
Apparently, still in shock from what he saw earlier.
Luo Fei nodded.
"I understand, everyone, thank you for providing assistance to the police. If we manage to solve the case, the police will award you the Good Citizen Medal."
Saying this made the other party somewhat excited.
"Officer, you’re too polite. Yes, when discovering such a situation, it’s everyone’s responsibility to report it actively. We should do it."
Seeing the two had a sense of awareness.
Luo Fei felt quite comforted.
After a while.
As Luo Fei and other policemen arrived at the scene.
He noticed.
There were already quite a few people watching.
But thankfully, some sanitation workers had cordoned off the area.
Their faces also showed seriousness.
"Hello, Mr. Officer!"
Looking at the fifty-something uncle in front of them, he seemed somewhat fearful and uneasy.
And unexpectedly called himself by counting.
Luo Fei seriously said.
"Sir, what you did just now was commendable. It’s worth praising. However, from now on, the police will handle the scene. So, you don’t need to be too nervous."
Luo Fei looked earnest.
The old man still didn’t realize he called the other "uncle" in his nervousness.
And next, as the body inside the bag was overturned, a few small fish and tiny crabs the size of fingernails came out.
The belt on the deceased and some physical features appeared in front of Luo Fei.
"The deceased, adult male. Age is approximately between 45 to 50 years. Around 1.8 meters tall."
"All valuable items on the body have disappeared. Only a belt is left..."
"The time of death should be within a week, as the skin tissue of the corpse is relatively fresh, plus the weather isn’t that hot. So, the body hasn’t shown any signs of the giant appearance."
Luo Fei knew very well.
Generally, if the deceased died unnaturally, like being disposed of in the river.
As long as the temperature reaches around 20 degrees Celsius, it can easily cause fermentation and swelling, leading to high decay and toxin buildup internally.
This poses a huge challenge for the police in identifying bodies.
Luckily, it’s recently autumn, so the water temperature is not high, even helping to preserve the body.
Although the skin’s external tissue and facial features are unrecognizable.
Luo Fei could roughly see what clothes the person was wearing.
And there was an Azure Dragon tattoo on the left arm of the deceased.
This significantly narrows down the range for identifying the deceased.
"Mr. Luo, it has basically been confirmed."
At this moment, Su Jianfan suddenly spoke.
And seeing his face, he looked somewhat excited.
Luo Fei nodded and asked.
"How is it?"
"The deceased is named Tao Guolin, aged 48. He went missing a week ago after going on a trip with his girlfriend’s family."
"The person who reported the incident was his newly acquainted girlfriend Cheng Li."
Just as Su Jianfan showed the photo of the other party.
Luo Fei was momentarily stunned.
"An older man with a younger wife?"
"Yes, and the deceased is also somewhat of an internet celebrity. Originally working as a model. But after being with Tao Guolin, she stopped working."
Su Jianfan’s analysis made Luo Fei nod.
"I understand."
Nevertheless, even in such a case, it’s quite strange.
After all, in relationships like these, the victims are generally women.
It’s rare for a man to die under suspicious circumstances in such cases.
So much so that Su Jianfan immediately connected it to another case they had investigated previously.
"Mr. Luo, do you think this case might be related to Fu Kangwen? Since, you know, Tao Guolin is one of the shareholders of Fu Kangwen’s factory. There might be some internal connection between these two."
Hearing this.
Luo Fei nodded.
"Yes, what you’re saying makes sense."
Therefore, Luo Fei quickly contacted Tao Guolin’s girlfriend Cheng Li.
"Officer, are you saying Mr. Tao has been found?"
But as the call was made.
A middle-aged woman’s voice came from the other side.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but be puzzled, "Ma’am, who are you, and what’s your relationship with Cheng Li?"
"Oh, officer, I’m Cheng Li’s mother. Ever since Tao Guolin went missing, my daughter has been very unhappy. She hasn’t eaten properly for several days. She’s been staying at home all the time. I’m afraid she might become withdrawn, so I’m here to take care of her."
