Jiang Yuan followed the arrest team, squatting in a teahouse on the main street of Pusui Town. Through the wide-open double wooden doors, they blatantly observed the fruit store across the street.

The suspect Xu Dekai’s fruit store was semi-open. Near the entrance, there was a stall facing the street for customers, while further inside it resembled a small supermarket, with a row of refrigerated cabinets against the wall containing some perishable, high-priced fruits.

The special forces officer responsible for the arrest whispered, "The fruit store covers an area of twenty or thirty square meters, and there’s another closed back door leading to the stairwell behind, which can take you to the upstairs shops or to the back street. I suggest that during the action, we can post someone specifically to guard this door. With both front and back blocked, the suspect will have no way to escape."

"Agreed." Lang Heng was also seated in the teahouse. As the head of the Criminal Police Brigade, he was not supposed to personally come for the arrest. The arrest phase of such cases was predictable; in ten cases, there might not be even one instance of resistance, and those who dared to resist usually tried to run, with almost none succeeding—successful escapes in movies logically require pre-planned escape routes anyway.

However, this time Jiang Yuan wanted to come to the scene, and Lang Heng was more about keeping Jiang Yuan company.

As a result, the team arresting Xu De had been upgraded from their own criminal police officers to special forces. That difference in strength was like comparing athletes to ordinary high school boys.

"Jiang Yuan, what do you think? Shall we make the arrest?" Lang Heng’s respect for Jiang Yuan had reached a high point; he actually didn’t need to ask Jiang Yuan at all. He should have been the absolute commander on the scene.

But Jiang Yuan came today to observe the suspect Xu De, not bringing too much EQ with him, and simply said, "If the arrest is successful later, it would be best to conduct an immediate interrogation on the spot and ask about the murderer’s killing method. See if there’s a murder weapon."

This was the main reason Jiang Yuan came over. The victim’s body was severely decomposed, and many bones had already fallen into the fish pond, leaving only highly decomposed skeletal remains. Even Jiang Yuan could not determine the cause of death. And this was after he temporarily upgraded Forensic Anthropology to LV4 with a skill boost.

For ancient human archaeological sites, analysis of the cause of death would have ended at this stage. Criminal cases still had one more opportunity, that is, to obtain it from witnesses or the criminal’s confession.
