If it’s the forr, it suggests a complex or relatively familiar interpersonal relationship between the perpetrator and the victim.

However, if it’s the latter, there’s a higher probability it was a cri of passion.

Statistically, it’s quite possible that the perpetrator and the victim didn’t know each other.

For example, during a robbery, the person might be accidentally killed and then buried on the spot.

Lu Chuan’s judgnt, though seemingly simple, plays a crucial role in guiding the subsequent analysis and direction of the investigation.

No matter the case or its magnitude, theoretically, the resources available are always limited.

How to utilize these limited resources to solve the case quickly is a crucial concern for leaders.

If a case cannot be steered in the right investigative direction with clues, it becos very troubleso to solve.

Usually, an analysis eting is held after a case occurs based on these principles.

First, determine the nature of the murder based on traces found at the cri scene.

Thus, pooling the limited forces to focus on one specific direction with full effort.

Take this case, for example.

Based on the current site investigation, the burial site is likely the primary cri scene.

Moreover, Lu Chuan didn’t find any traces indicating the body was dragged a long distance.

It possibly suggests that the murder wasn’t preditated.

There’s a possibility the murderer wasn’t acquainted with the victim.

However, it’s also possible that a familiar person had a temporary conflict with the victim, leading to an impulsive murder.

Which possibility is more likely?

That’s what Qin Yong needs to determine.

There’s also a more pressing issue: it’s been 15 years since the victim went missing.

So, who exactly called Qin Yong?

Since the caller knew the exact burial site, why did they choose to make the call at this particular ti?

The site was handled quickly.

After the excavation of the bones, Lu Chuan conducted a preliminary examination and then took them back to the Criminal Investigation Team.

The forensic departnt and the current publication office have many pieces of equipnt that allow for in-depth analysis of the bones.

In most bone-related cases, the difficulty in solving lies in identifying the bones.

In this case, however, the identification of the clothes on the bones made it relatively easier to confirm the victim’s identity as Zhang Manyu, who disappeared 15 years ago.

The Criminal Investigation Team’s eting room is currently hosting a case analysis eting.

Zhang Hui first reports on the situation of Zhang Manyu’s disappearance back then.

"Zhang Manyu, female, was 29 years old at the ti of her disappearance, 1.65 ters tall, and a resident of Haizhou City."

"At the ti of her disappearance, she was a substitute teacher at the City Experintal Primary School."

The so-called substitute teacher is a synonym for a contractual teacher.

This was a product of the era.

Over a decade ago, the number of enrolling children far exceeded those of today, but the number of school staff was insufficient in the short term to et teaching needs.

Thus, substitute teachers were hired.

Although these teachers didn’t hold formal positions, their work was no different from that of regular teachers.

So substitute teachers even taught for decades.

"It was Zhang Manyu’s parents who reported her missing to the Huaguang Street Police Station."

"Because of her special profession as a teacher and having a 9-year-old daughter at the ti of her disappearance, the Huaguang Street Police Station took this case very seriously, and after a period of fruitless investigation, it was reported to the district and county level."

"Later, the local Criminal Investigation Team conducted a period of investigation, but nothing was discovered, ultimately..."

Zhang Hui briefly introduces the circumstances of Zhang Manyu’s disappearance at that ti.

The relevant files have been copied and distributed to everyone.

"Zhang Manyu wasn’t married?"

Soone quickly notices the issue.

Zhang Manyu wasn’t married, but at the ti of her disappearance, she left behind a 9-year-old daughter.

What’s going on here?

From fifteen years ago!

Even today, in a school having a teacher who has a child out of wedlock is not considered desirable.

Fifteen years ago, people’s mindset was even more conservative.

How did Zhang Manyu have a child out of wedlock?

"Regarding this matter... let explain."

Hmm?

Everyone looks up to find the speaker is, surprisingly, Qian Weiguo, the head of the legal departnt.

The legal departnt of the Criminal Investigation Team usually has little presence.

Qian Weiguo’s departnt only consists of one person.

Usually, their work is primarily to prevent the misuse of private punishnt internally.

They also conduct legal publicity education.

To put it simply, it’s the departnt that supervises everyone to perform their duties legally.

Normally, Qian Weiguo rarely attends case analysis etings. If he didn’t speak up, everyone might not have even noticed his presence.

"Fifteen years ago, I was the chief of the Huaguang Street Police Station."

"This case was handled by back then."

No wonder.

Among the mid-level cadres of the Criminal Investigation Team present here, all are veterans.

So transferred from anti-drug teams, others have been promoted through the ranks, and so have spent their entire careers in the Criminal Investigation Team.

There was a reason for Qian Weiguo’s demotion from the chief of the Huaguang Street Police Station.

Even though the Huaguang Street Police Station isn’t large, and is just a departntal unit, compared to a mid-level position in the Criminal Investigation Team...

Most people would prefer to be a chief of a police station.

After all, managing is comprehensive work, and having dozens of people under your command is far better than being a departnt head in the legal section of the Criminal Investigation Team.

Qian Weiguo didn’t keep it secret.

He was forced to step down as chief, and soone had to take the fall.

Everyone present knows this, so there’s no need to hide it.

However, his stepping down wasn’t related to the disappearance of Zhang Manyu back then.

This ti, he particularly attended the case analysis eting as he knew the deceased was Zhang Manyu, which prompted his participation.

"After Zhang Manyu disappeared, we thoroughly investigated her interpersonal relationships."

"Zhang Manyu was a student at Haizhou City Normal College, and if she could have graduated normally, with her good grades, she could have easily secured a formal teaching position."

"But... sothing happened during her internship at the City Experintal Primary School when she was a sophomore."

"She later dropped out."

"What happened?"

Soone asked.

"She got pregnant."

Hmm?

Qian Weiguo continued, "I wasn’t directly involved in that incident, but during the investigation into her disappearance, it was discovered from many teachers at City Experintal Primary School at the ti."

"Zhang Manyu was an excellent student. During her internship, she was assigned to City Experintal Primary School, but shortly thereafter, rumors about her and the then-principal Zhao Guojun began to circulate."
