Chapter 939 - 875: The Strongest Combo Move
Shiting County.
The journey is long, the roads are in poor condition, and difficult to travel.
Tangui Village.
Few people, mostly elderly, and tragic deaths— at least, that’s how the villagers describe it.
Jiang Yuan and his team arrived at the crime scene, first detained a group of villagers for a mandatory chat, took down several statements, and then entered the victim’s home.
The village’s small store, originally the information hub of the village, became avoided after someone died. However, the stools and chairs weren’t moved far away; they were just placed on a nearby flat ground to continue sunbathing.
After the chat, Jiang Yuan asked Bai Jian to gather the Shiting County detectives and said, "Today, focus on finding the door support stick. I just discussed with the villagers, the victim Zhao Dong had a door support stick about the width of an iPhone and about 1.5 meters long. Such a long stick is not easy to handle."
"One could just burn it in the village," a police officer immediately suggested. This wasn’t specifically being contrarian; it’s a good time to offer ideas when analyzing the case.
Jiang Yuan nodded, "That implies the murderer is either a villager or a relative of a villager. This case, then, goes back to the pattern of crime by acquaintance."
"So, finding the stick leads to the murderer, and not finding it proves the case involves an acquaintance?" another officer quickly inferred.
