Chapter 1012 - 948 Garbage Sorting
There are no secrets in the shantytown, especially for the oppressed mushroom people.
In just a quarter of an hour, Meng Chengbiao concluded the interrogation and reported: "There are three known bodies. One died in a fight, and two were strangled to death. The smell you sensed likely comes from the one who died three days ago. No one took care of it then, so the body was dumped next to the rubbish pile. Only today when we arrived did the gang members dig a hole and bury it."
"Then let’s dig it up and have a look," Jiang Yuan sighed. His hands were clean and ready for dinner, which made him somewhat reluctant to handle the corpses.
"People have been sent to dig it already. The other two bodies, probably died two and four months ago, were also buried after digging holes. Whether there were bodies from even earlier is unknown to those who arrived later; we would need to ask the more core members of the gang."
"Sure, no rush, take your time to interrogate. I want to check the scene first and then think about an inspection plan. Except for the necessary personnel, everyone else should withdraw outside the stronghold." Jiang Yuan’s approach was purely technical—the entire stronghold could be considered evidence, so the impact should be minimized as much as possible.
After all, three people died, including one who was clearly murdered. In local terms, scanning an area a few hundred meters wide is not a big project.
However, the complexity of the shantytown, or rather, its information density, is much greater than that of a small district. Moreover, these people have lived in Qi Mountain Stronghold for several months or even over a year. As they embrace their nature, crimes weren’t uncommon among them. Jiang Yuan pondered that they couldn’t merely cover everything under one or two charges; it would be best to keep an open mind and include all mushroom people.
The crimes among the mushroom people are indeed crimes, this is clear.
"Do we have markers of different colors?" Jiang Yuan asked Wang Chuanxing after walking around the stronghold.
"We only brought yellow markers, and not many of them," Wang Chuanxing quickly checked on his PAD. They had brought a lot of equipment, but the investigation equipment was a second priority in the initial supply.
