Huaguang Street Friendship Hospital is a private hospital that provides high-end medical care.

In Haizhou City, Friendship Hospital is quite famous, with returning overseas PhDs and well-known medical expert professors.

Especially in curing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, Friendship Hospital is very renowned.

"I picked it up just outside this trash can."

Qin Jun, in handcuffs and supported by two detectives, Zhang Hui among them, is identifying the scene where he picked up the blue paint bucket.

The trash can is opposite Friendship Hospital, at the gate of the Haizhou City Nursing College family compound.

"When you picked up the paint bucket, did you notice anything unusual, or see who discarded it?"

Qin Jun shook his head with a pained expression: "I just picked it up randomly, but there were several buckets, so I just took one."

At this point, Qin Jun felt the urge to slap himself.

He set fire to the archives of his own unit, randomly picked a bucket from the trash can, and somehow got tangled up with a body dumping case.

If he hadn't picked up that bucket or if he had picked another one, maybe no one would care about him setting the fire, right?

After all, he was in charge of archives at their Construction Management Office.

It's been almost a month already.

Now it's all over, not only did he lose his job, but he also has to spend three years at a sewing machine.

"Officer Zhang, does this count as atoning for my crime with merit?"

"Can I get a sentence reduction?"

"Sentence reduction?"

Zhang Hui shook his head: "Your boss has already been caught, how much money you guys embezzled from the project, don't you have an idea?"

Qin Jun felt even more bitter upon hearing this.

Three years... probably won't get out early.

The trash can was found at the front of the Nursing College family compound, so this community is naturally a key focus area.

"First get in touch with the neighborhood committee, then compare it with the mink-raising list provided by Lu Chuan."

Cracking a case is like unraveling a tangled ball of yarn.

The hardest part is initially finding a thread to pull; once you have that, the rest follows step by step.

For detectives, checking this stuff is as routine as eating and drinking, doing it every day and night, very familiar.

That feeling is a bit like Yang Sen going home to see his wife, familiar but uninterested.

The tedious investigation is about questioning people, inquiring from them.

Generally speaking, it's not as smooth as ordinary people imagine.

Not everyone is willing to cooperate with the investigation, and for those who don't cooperate, the police can't just arrest them all.

If someone claims they can't remember, you've got nothing to go on.

So, you need to employ methods and skills here.

To put it frankly, you need to learn to be humble and accommodating.

Fortunately, everyone was already familiar with the routines, and with the neighborhood committee's help, the investigation went smoothly.

"It's this house, Dr. Wang's; I used to see him often taking that white mink out for walks."

The enthusiastic woman from the neighborhood committee was quite excited to be helping the police.

"Let me tell you, this Dr. Wang is a doctor from the Friendship Hospital across the street, and he seems to be some kind of PhD who came back from abroad."

"I heard his medical skills are outstanding; people from our community often ask him for help with medical issues, free of charge."

"And he's tall and handsome, just hasn't married yet..."

"Granny Chen, is Dr. Wang's house currently being renovated?"

"Yes, yes, how did you know?"

Granny Chen was quite surprised that Zhang Hui knew about Dr. Wang's home renovation: "But it just finished a few days ago."

"Dr. Wang earns a lot and is particular about things. I heard he gave his neighbors red envelopes because he was worried the renovation would disturb them..."

Clearly, Granny Chen regretted not having Dr. Wang as a neighbor.

As they gained deeper understanding, Zhang Hui became more confident about this investigation.

Though they didn't have a photo of the person, from Granny Chen's description, this tall overseas PhD matched well with the physical description Lu Chuan had made based on the analysis of the suspect's footprints.

"Should we make an arrest?"

Zhang Hui consulted Ren Qiang.

"The person is currently at work in the hospital, not at home."

"If he's indeed the suspect, we could arrest him directly at the hospital."

"I will consult Captain Qin to see if we should first check out his home."

Haizhou City Nursing College family compound, in front of unit one in building four.

"Let's first check out his home."

The person can't run away anyway, Qin Yong decided to first investigate the home.

As this could very well be the primary crime scene.

"Alright, I'll make arrangements."

Searching requires a search warrant, and there are very strict search procedures.

For instance, when searching a suspect's space, the warrant must be shown in front of the person being searched or their family, with at least two people present.

When searching a female suspect's person, a female officer must perform the search.

However, the criminal investigators operate differently; in the process of cracking cases, they have the right to perform a crime scene investigation or check places, items, or bodies related to the crime.

This only requires proof of documentation, without the need for a search warrant.

Unlocking is something that can easily be done with a locksmith in the presence of the police, with no need for physical damage.

Dr. Wang's apartment is large, with three bedrooms and a living room, and the moment the door opened, a clean and bright living room greeted everyone.

There was also a pure white pet mink, staring curiously at the people at the door with its small eyes.

"Put on gloves and shoe covers. Lu Chuan, come in with me."

This investigation had Ren Qiang's second action team as the vanguard, and bringing Lu Chuan was to perform a crime scene investigation.

Lu Chuan had prepared in advance, putting on three layers of gloves, carrying an investigation kit, and following behind Ren Qiang into the apartment.

However, in less than half a minute, loud shouts came from the bedroom: "Arrest Wang Xilin immediately!"

...

In the master bedroom, there wasn't a bed, but two chairs instead.

A middle-aged man and woman were currently bound to the chairs.

With towels stuffed in their mouths, their legs and feet were tightly taped with clear tape, and they hung their heads without any reaction.

"They're not dead; they should have been injected with some sedative or similar drug, causing them to fall into a deep sleep."

"Get them to the hospital first."

...

The arrest went smoothly as well; Wang Xilin was taken in from the operating room.

"You found me so quickly?"

Facing the fully armed detectives, Wang Xilin showed no signs of nervousness or surprise, even appearing as if he'd been waiting for the police to arrive.

Criminal Investigation Team, interrogation room.

Ren Qiang and Zhang Hui were in charge of the interrogation: "What is your name, age, gender."

"Wang Xilin, thirty-seven years old, male."

"You don't need to ask anymore; I'm the one who killed the person."

Wang Xilin spoke in a very calm voice, "I'm just curious, how did you find me so quickly?"

"What a pity... if you'd come just two days later, their whole family... I could have killed them all."

"Ding!"

"Advanced mission completed: The host discovered crucial clues about the Qinghe amusement park body dumping case suspect, based on matched fingerprint information from the corpse, and using forensic analysis of trace evidence on the body, narrowed down the suspect scope, successfully aiding the Qinghe amusement park body dumping case task force in solving the case."

"Mission reward: One Intermediate Criminal Investigation Skill Card or one Basic Firearms Skill Card. The host may choose the type of reward."
