Ready

The mayor has arrived!

There was simply too much, and it was all piled together.

If one hadn't known beforehand, they probably wouldn't have guessed it was human bones for a while, thinking it was some kind of animal.

It was precisely because of this that it felt disgusting.

The visual impact of such a scene was too strong; treating people like livestock, dismembering them, and discarding them here—any normal person would find it unacceptable.

Even Director Yang, someone who had experienced many storms, couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

It was too terrifying!

In his many years of work, he had never encountered such a large discovery of bones at once.

Although their remains were all missing to some extent.

But no matter what, they needed to be separated and re-cremated.

This task naturally fell to the Forensic doctors.

Since the remains themselves were incomplete, there was no need to piece them back together.

They just needed to be cleaned and set aside, then DNA would be extracted from each one later for comparison and identification.

Director Yang stopped digging after a while and came over to Lin Yuan, sighing, "Lin Yuan, I truly appreciate you today!"

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Will I get paid?"

"Yes!" Director Yang nodded without any hesitation.

"If you hadn't discovered this today, we probably never would have. In just a few years, over 30 bodies have been lost. If we let them continue their evil deeds, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Lin Yuan felt a bit embarrassed being praised directly and chuckled awkwardly, "Just good luck!"

Director Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head, not saying anything more.

In his opinion, Lin Yuan was just being modest.

Although it seemed like good luck, it was definitely not that simple.

If it had been him or anyone else from the police force here tonight, they absolutely couldn't have done what Lin Yuan did.

Few people would even recognize the ashes, and even if they got their hands on them, they wouldn't be able to distinguish them, so they naturally wouldn't discover the secret here.

Secondly, Lin Yuan's analysis just now also saved them a lot of time.

Whether it was taking the suspects back for interrogation or searching aimlessly, both would require a lot of time.

However, the current situation was that once dawn broke, this incident would inevitably cause a huge sensation.

The entire police station would face unprecedented pressure, the kind that makes it hard to breathe, and many people might even be demoted because of it.

People across the country would pay attention to this, and their every move would become incredibly difficult; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were racing against time.

But at this moment, all the pressure vanished.

In just one night, or more accurately, from the time the case occurred to its resolution, it only took a few hours.

By resolving such a major case with such swiftness, their police station would not only avoid implication but might even earn collective merit.

How vast was the difference when comparing these two outcomes?

The reason for such an outcome was all because of one person, Lin Yuan!

If Lin Yuan was considered a benefactor in his eyes before, it was no exaggeration to say he was the savior of the entire police station now.

Forget about a bonus, he had already made up his mind to tell everyone in the bureau that if they bought a house, they must buy it from Lin Yuan!

He believed they wouldn't refuse either.

Of course, it was still too early to celebrate.

Judging from Bald Man's reaction and this case, it was definitely not that simple.

Would the owner of a 350-million-yuan funeral parlor take such a risk to earn money from selling body parts?

It really wasn't worth it.

So, there must be a huge interest system behind this, and no one knew how much power was involved.

As a Police Officer, his duty was to apprehend these criminals.

But he also understood that he was just a branch bureau director, which was impressive in the eyes of ordinary people, but when it came to a certain level, it wasn't enough.

Moreover, arresting Bald Man would inevitably alert others. To catch all the forces behind this, they had to act swiftly and not give them a chance to react.

The number of people in the entire West Sea City with such influence was very few.

Thinking of this, Director Yang took a deep breath. Although it was late at night.

He still took out his phone and called the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Municipal High Official, reporting the situation to them separately.

Without exception, both big shots of West Sea City were shocked the moment they learned of the situation, and they immediately got up and rushed over that night.

More than half an hour later, the scene was still bustling with activity.

They completely failed to notice the two private cars driving past at the foot of the mountain.

As Director Jiang got out of his car, he saw Secretary He, the Municipal High Official, also getting out of the car in front.

The two exchanged glances, nodded telepathically, greeted each other, and then, led by the Police Officer on duty, they arrived halfway up the mountain.

Even though they were mentally prepared, when they saw the large pile of bones on the ground, their expressions changed drastically, and their breathing became rapid.

Director Yang saw the two arrive simultaneously and quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Secretary He, Director Jiang, you've arrived!"

Director Jiang, as Director Yang's direct superior, immediately reprimanded him without mercy, "What's wrong with you? Such a big case happened right under your nose, and you only found out now?"

"How am I supposed to explain this to the higher-ups? How am I supposed to explain it to the families of these deceased, and how am I supposed to explain it to the citizens of West Sea City?"

"Do you know that once this matter gets out, let alone you, Secretary He and I will also be implicated? The nature of this is simply too egregious!"

Director Yang lowered his head, being scolded, and dared not reply.

Secretary He, standing nearby, waved his hand and sighed, "That's enough, that's enough, don't get so worked up. Didn't they solve the case?"

"To clarify the matter and find the remains in such a short time, it will be easier to explain to the families later."

"Frankly, they have even rendered meritorious service. We should judge the matter, not the person. Those who deserve punishment won't escape, and those who deserve rewards must receive them."

Director Jiang paused slightly at these words, realizing his tone had been too harsh. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Only Secretary He is so understanding."

"Submit a detailed case report tomorrow, and I will apply to the higher-ups for commendations for your police force."

"By the way, Old Yang, you haven't been promoted in over ten years, have you? I didn't expect you to be a late bloomer."

Hearing this, Director Yang's expression stiffened, and he stammered, somewhat at a loss.

"Director Jiang, Secretary He, I... Actually, this case, to be precise, wasn't solved by us."

Director Jiang frowned and asked in confusion, "Not solved by you? What do you mean? Aren't these all people from your police station? Could it be from another branch?"

"Uh..." Director Yang chuckled awkwardly, "It's not from another branch either... it's a... passerby."

"What?"

"A passerby?"

Seeing the two big shots' surprised and questioning expressions.

Director Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and pull Lin Yuan over to answer, "This Xiao Hu helped solve the case. His name is Lin Yuan, and he's a..."

Thinking of this, Director Yang's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"A real estate agent!"

"The whole thing started because he was coming to the funeral parlor to show a Client a house..."

More than ten minutes later, after listening to Director Yang's detailed explanation of the process.

Secretary He and Director Jiang were shocked!

They all looked at Lin Yuan with piercing eyes, their expressions filled with disbelief.

An agent?

Someone who sells houses?

Such a major case, and it was solved simply because he was selling a house?

Good heavens, you're an agent, taking over the work of criminal investigations, isn't that a bit inappropriate?

If this gets out, what will people think later?

Will they think Lin Yuan is amazing, or will they think their police station is incompetent?
