It's still the No. 1 meeting room.

By the time Liu Guodong and Lu Chuan arrived, the meeting room was already filled with people.

In fact, just like those who attended the meeting a few minutes ago, they were all members of the skeleton case task force.

When Lu Chuan entered, everyone's gaze turned towards him.

"Everyone's here, let's begin."

Qin Yong's voice was much clearer, and he sounded more energetic. Clearly, the confirmation of the skeleton's identity had lifted his spirits.

"Ren Qiang, you give the briefing."

Ren Qiang nodded. Earlier in the meeting, his team was responsible for investigating missing persons' information.

"According to the skeleton identification analysis conducted by Lu Chuan, we have just searched the missing persons database for similar physical characteristics."

The meeting room was dimly lit, and the projector was switched on: "Huang Lan, female, local, thirty-four years old, worked at Yuanguang Farm, reported missing by her family three months ago."

On the projection was a full-body photo of a middle-aged woman.

The woman in the photo appeared slightly plump, dressed ordinarily, but had fair skin.

"The height and weight of the missing person are very close to what Lu Chuan analyzed."

"Additionally, the farm had business dealings with the feed factory where the skeleton was discovered."

Ren Qiang's report, although not yet definitively confirming that the skeleton belonged to Huang Lan, suggested that, based on the clues found, it seemed highly likely.

"Immediately arrange for someone to go to Huang Lan's home to collect DNA information from direct relatives for comparison with the skeleton's information!"

The meeting ended swiftly.

The results were quickly brought back.

Liu Guodong personally conducted the DNA information comparison.

It was confirmed that the skeleton belonged to Huang Lan.

With the identification of the deceased confirmed, the investigation progressed swiftly.

Of course, the field work remained with the action group. With the case reaching this point, the crime scene investigation office and forensic doctors had basically completed their work.

September 15th, Wednesday, sunny.

Lu Chuan was in his office tending to the blooming flamingo-lily.

After finishing the morning meeting, Liu Guodong returned to the office leisurely.

"Old Liu, how's the skeleton case going?"

Yang Sen, sprawled with a newspaper, curiously asked.

A week had passed since the skeleton was discovered.

During this period, Ren Qiang and Sun Jun's teams had been out running around almost every day.

"The suspect has basically been narrowed down to the feed factory's disassembly worker named Li Bing."

Li Bing was one of the earliest individuals brought into the scope of investigation.

After the skeleton was found, Li Bing was questioned.

Liu Guodong, who attended morning meetings daily, was quite familiar with the progress of the case: "But now the case has reached a bottleneck."

"Huang Lan was just an ordinary worker at the farm and typically wouldn't have any dealings with the feed factory."

"We haven't figured out Li Bing's motive for murder, the relationship between them, where the first crime scene was, or how Li Bing handled the skeleton."

"What's so difficult about this? The skeleton was obviously from the feed factory. Just arrest that Li Bing, question him, and you'll know everything."

Although Old Bai was older, the style of handling cases from the past hadn't changed.

In the past, without all kinds of advanced technology, interrogation was extremely useful and often the only method.

But now, that's clearly not viable.

"Don't make trouble. You know what the requirements are nowadays."

Lu Chuan, listening quietly, had a serious expression, as if deep in thought.

Though a member of the task force, he was only responsible for technical work.

Fieldwork was not his strong suit.

"Master, I think we still need to start with the skeleton."

Hmm?

"Wasn't the skeleton identification analysis completed? What do you think is missing?"

Lu Chuan shook his head: "The skeleton identification analysis has been done very thoroughly."

"However, regarding the first crime scene, I think there should be some clues on the skeleton."

Lu Chuan went to his desk, opened a drawer, took out the skeleton identification analysis report on Huang Lan, and pointed to the skeleton photo: "Huang Lan has been dead for three months. According to the current weather in Haizhou City, if left outdoors, it would decompose into a skeleton in less than a month."

"However, the other party dismembered the skeleton and dispersed it three months later."

"Moreover, the skeleton showed no signs of being buried in the soil. Based on these clues, combined with Li Bing's living and working places, it might help in locating the first crime scene."

"Ding!"

"Advanced mission: Based on the skeleton's formation time and environment, combined with the crime suspect's living and working locations, locate the first crime scene, complete the collection of crime evidence, and assist the skeleton task force in solving the case."

Lu Chuan's hypothesis triggered the system's advanced mission.

Clearly, this was definitely a feasible plan.

Liu Guodong obviously understood Lu Chuan's idea too, but was this analysis a bit too difficult?

"How about this, you come with me to Captain Qin and report this idea, see what the leadership thinks."

Qin Yong's office.

After hearing Lu Chuan's idea, Qin Yong seemed quite pleasantly surprised: "Good, good, good!"

"Lu Chuan, you go ahead and do it, whatever support you need, report directly to me!"

Li Bing was a suspect, but there lacked evidence currently.

Once the first murder scene was found, likely some strong evidence would be discovered, helping solve the case easily.

No. 1 meeting room.

Ren Qiang was briefing Lu Chuan on the recent work achievements of the action group over the past week.

"In the entire feed factory, Li Bing is the only one who could access large bone cutting."

"Furthermore, we also found human bone tissue in the bone meal."

"So, this Li Bing is highly suspicious of committing the crime, but there's no connection between him and Huang Lan."

"We also searched Li Bing's residence but didn't find any clues."

In front of Lu Chuan was Li Bing's detailed personal information. Lu Chuan listened while looking at the data.

When it came to on-site investigation skills, Lu Chuan admitted he was far less capable than Ren Qiang.

So, if he said nothing was found at Li Bing's home and that there was no interaction between Li Bing and Huang Lan, it was probably true.

Lu Chuan was not considering the problem from that angle.

The system's task was: find the first crime scene based on the skeleton's formation time and environment, combined with the suspect's living and working locations.

If the suspect was indeed Li Bing, what characteristics did his living and working locations have?

Where could a skeleton form within three months?

First, the temperature must be lower than the current outdoor conditions.

Otherwise, in midsummer to early autumn, the body would decompose into a skeleton within a month.

Second, the location must be extremely difficult to discover.

Otherwise, the stench during the body's decomposition process would surely attract attention.

Third, hiding the body indoors seemed unlikely, as Li Bing's financial condition was average, and his current residence was rented.

He didn't have the financial resources to rent a place to kill and hide a body.

Moreover, even if he did rent a place, Lu Chuan believed Ren Qiang's investigation would certainly not overlook it.

Therefore, there was only one possibility for the opponent's body hiding location.
