Chapter 1037: One second a body was discovered, the next a suspect was caught?!

The mechanical spider nimbly stretched out its limbs in the dark cave, its two small eyes rolling from side to side, faithfully recording everything it saw.

Then, its flexible mechanical legs slowly rose, and the spikes at the ends that made it easy to climb turned into mechanical claws that could be easily extended, like a small crane, pushing away the boulders overhead.

The stone fell off the cliff and into the endless darkness, only to be heard with a dull thud after a long time.

Meanwhile, the other mechanical spiders were rummaging through the rubble on the protruding little step, searching for any possible traces.

A few minutes later, one of the mechanical spiders suddenly stopped moving.

A single mechanical claw extended out and carefully turned over a clump of moss of unknown species, then pulled out a black key from one of the corners.

The key's teeth were already clogged with dirt, and even the black plastic handle was worn beyond recognition, but the moment it appeared, it seemed to bring a glimmer of light to the dim cave—

"Found it!"

Above the well, Xiao He looked at the information transmitted back by the mechanical spider and immediately took off his glasses.

"Phew, looks like I'll have to recommend that Fusheng upgrade their night vision devices next time."

Xiao He rubbed his temples, his eyes unusually sore.

After all, Fusheng Technology's development direction is not here. The selling point of this product might be... flexibility?

However, Xiao He wanted to describe the camera function and night vision as "a complete mess".

No wonder the system froze after it recognized the image, and I couldn't see what was in the transmitted image.

It's a disaster.

"Speaking of which, the lens quality from that major drone manufacturer we've been working with has always been very stable. Perhaps we could act as a bridge between the two sides' technologies—"

As Xiao He muttered to himself, he took out his phone, intending to contact Lin Qi and tell him to remember to call.

The major manufacturers over there have also been working on drones, especially in the field of rescue. After Xiao He's rescue system became a hit in the snow mountain, they were the first to come and sell it. Judging from the current situation, they should be very interested in Fusheng Technology's mechanical spider.

"Um?"

Seeing the messages and several missed calls pop up on his phone, Xiao He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Most of the calls came from Sister Liu and the company.

Something must have happened.

He didn't rush to call back immediately, but instead quickly glanced at Sister Liu's text message.

Sister Liu: The situation online has been dealt with. Please rest assured and help with the investigation. We will handle the rest.

Sister Liu: Message me when you're done. Lao Qi will come to pick you up.

It seems that his coming to the mountain to help with the investigation has already spread to a small extent online.

After all, there was a live streamer broadcasting live at the scene... their luck was incredible.

Xiao He paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly and put his phone away.

He wasn't worried about the situation outside.

With Sister Liu around, those guys won't be able to cause any trouble.

Meanwhile, the salvage team members who had been squatting at the entrance of the well also quickly reminded everyone.

"They're up, they're up."

These people were seeing this high-tech product for the first time, and their eyes never left the mechanical spider. Every time the mechanical spider came up, they couldn't help but shout and yell, as if humanity had finally discovered a new continent.

Officer Sun was also curious about the scene below, so he walked behind Xiao He to watch him use the control panel.

When Officer Sun saw Xiao He looking through a small window into the cave with its night-vision capabilities while typing various new code commands on his computer, he quietly walked to the other side.

— LOL, I don't understand it at all.

The only small window that a layman might be able to understand is also because the mechanical spider's built-in lens is so poor that the image transmitted back from a distance is completely blurry and pixelated, making it difficult to see anything clearly.

Therefore, everyone who was curious about Xiao He controlling the mechanical spider came over to watch for a while and then quietly left.

Some people even had a new perspective on Xiao He's abilities for the first time.

"I never knew actors were this good."

"This is just Xiao He. Didn't you see his performance on the Spring Festival Gala? It's said that in the backstage footage of the Gala, the technical staff and another magician both stated that Xiao He provided technical support for that performance."

"Besides, Xiao He also owns a tech company! That stock you were looking at before has a partnership with their tech company! Didn't you make a profit holding the stock during the Spring Festival? That was all thanks to Xiao He's performance!"

The members of the salvage team started discussing it.

Although their main task this time was to help retrieve the garbage, their real work was actually rescue, and they came into contact with a lot of high-tech products in the process.

But the product that Xiao He and Fusheng Technology brought is truly amazing.

It's also very moving.

"The level of technological development these days—we really can't keep up."

Seeing that a few machines could completely replace most of their work, some of the older people couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Meanwhile, Officer Sun also saw what had been retrieved—

He put on gloves, carefully took the key, which was covered in mud and moss, from the mechanical spider's claws, and looked up to examine it.

"This should be a motorcycle key."

Since this style is quite common, Officer Sun was able to make a judgment immediately after observing it for a short while.

"It seems our investigation can be narrowed down even further!"

The police officer standing nearby said with great surprise.

Based on the autopsy performed just now, they have preliminarily determined that the person died under abnormal circumstances.

Although the soft tissue of the head of the corpse was swollen and decomposed, the traces of the skull cracking and collapsing could still be seen with the naked eye, and the limb bone damage could also be roughly detected from the corpse.

All signs are highly consistent with the wounds left on a human body after being hit by a motor vehicle.

This person most likely died in a car accident and was deliberately dumped here to cover up the crime.

This is the mountain road, and down is the film studio. Since the victim's car keys are still down here, the motorcycle is very likely nearby, or at least inside the film studio.

If no one had stolen the car, they might still be able to find it now, and then by following the car, they could find the owner, or even find the corresponding CCTV footage, find the time and place of the deceased's last appearance before death and related events—their investigation scope would become smaller and smaller!

How long has it been?

Previously, let alone finding clues one after another at the scene, just finding and retrieving the body would take them a long time.

Especially in these mountains and forests, there are many caves and wells. If someone goes missing and falls into one of them, the search and rescue team may search for days and nights without finding anything.

This is simply...

More than half an hour later, when he received the call again, Officer Sun's expression finally changed somewhat.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Xiao He with a more serious and incredulous expression.

"The suspect has been apprehended."

"What?"

The people around looked at each other in disbelief.

"How much time has passed?"

It feels like the body was found one second, and the killer was caught the next!
