Mocked by the subordinate he usually pushed hard, Shen Que felt irritated inside but remained composed on the surface. With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the five individuals next to him and introduced them in a direct and clear manner.
Tao Xinyuan, a tall, thin young man with glasses, appeared cultured, but occasionally his eyes shone sharply. He was a computer engineer at the Provincial Public Security Departnt, with a sharp mind but not much physical ability.
Ying Panman, also in her twenties, had graduated from a prestigious police academy in Beijing with outstanding results. Just three years post-graduation, her extraordinary analytical abilities and solid skills in Sanda, close combat, and marksmanship had led to her rapid promotion to the first squadron of the Provincial Public Security Departnt.
Xiang Qiang, a typical ard personnel mber, stood at 188 centiters, second in height only to team leader Shen Que, and was all muscle. His favorite activity was smashing bricks with his head... and his ho was filled with various martial arts dals.
Zheng Jie had balanced abilities, was capable of handling tasks effectively, especially good at socializing and psychology, and often subtly got clues from suspects.
Jiang Yuandong, a talent in tracking, had impressive running speed, driving skills, and the ability to camouflage himself.
These five individuals, all under the age of thirty, were the elite six of the Provincial Public Security Departnt’s first squadron, and now they were being introduced to Zhang Wei in such a formal manner, making them all the more curious about him.
However, Zhang Wei didn’t go into detail about himself, only saying, "I’ve already been discharged... You are soldiers now, and I am a civilian, just act as usual."
"And who might this be?" asked Ying Panman, who was the best at analysis. From her observation, Zhang Wei clearly revolved around this girl. Considering the girl’s deanor and attire, she must co from a distinguished background. Could it be that after retirent, Zhang Wei beca her bodyguard?
"She’s the second employer and soone who can help you as well," Zhang Wei explained indifferently, prompting various reactions from the six individuals.
She can help?
They might believe Zhang Wei could, but this girl––
The five of them were skeptical but noticed that at this mont the girl was observing her surroundings... and not paying attention to them.
How to describe it? This feeling was quite strange.
"Miss Sui, have you noticed anything?" Shen Que was the last to underestimate Sui Yi, for his admiration for Zhang Wei made him realize that Zhang Wei was not the type to show respect just because of soone’s status as an employer.
This kind of respect ca from within his bones.
"He’s already dead,"
With just a light remark, Sui Yi caused the complexions of the squad mbers to change drastically.
"How do you know?" Shen Que asked gravely.
"Blood,"
Blood?
"We’ve checked, there’s no trace of blood..."
Sui Yi glanced towards Ying Panman, who was wearing gloves and carrying a case in her hands, her gaze serene, "It’s been licked clean."
What?
Ying Panman, along with Shen Que and Zheng Jie, imdiately turned their gaze to the ground!
Especially Shen Que, who crouched down and scrutinized a patch of earth.
"I was wondering why so parts of the ground here looked odd... I see now,"
A sweep of the eyes revealed nothing out of the ordinary in this simple and slightly shabby house, which seed to have a slightly unpleasant sll due to the bachelor living conditions. The wooden planks on the ceiling were even, with occasional gaps, beams crossing, about three ters above the ground, a bit low. The walls were made of clay and brick, showing their age.
There were patches on the uneven, moss-green ground that were lighter in color...
But who would notice that?
re human eyesight could not possibly distinguish this, not even Ying Panman, who had crouched down to analyze for blood stains and found nothing...
"If it’s been licked clean, that could explain why Manman can’t detect any blood stains. But what kind of person would lick the ground with their tongue..."
If it were tile, it would be one thing, but this was dirt!
There was also so moss on it that seed quite disgusting.
Sui Yi said nothing, just cast a lingering look and then walked out the door, followed by Shen Que making a call, asking when the provincial forensic team would arrive.
"Don’t tell about so missing persons case, as if any missing persons case would be like this... Listen, out of ten missing individuals, there’s a family of four and a couple, all caught in the midst of cooking or in normal life situations, clearly not leaving voluntarily, but they disappeared without a trace in a short ti––anyway, hurry up," Shen Que spoke softly, but Sui Yi standing by the door heard him clearly and inwardly noted that these people were very capable, having more clues in their hands than even what she had observed.
As Sui Yi ca out, Mao Gang rushed over, asking anxiously, "Miss Sui, then...?"
"Prepare for the worst," said Sui Yi with only a brief statent.
