Chapter 1038: Three Hours in a Flash! Whose post is flashing?!

What happened next happened much faster than anyone expected.

From discovering the deceased to identifying the deceased, to finding the latest clues, narrowing down the scope, identifying suspects, and finally locking down the suspect, the police only spent three hours.

It's important to understand that in these types of body disposal cases, finding the body alone can take weeks to months. In most cases, the police can only issue notices while simultaneously comparing DNA against missing persons records, or ultimately hope that the forensic pathologist can reconstruct the appearance based on the current state of decomposition of the body.

Especially when the deceased has simple family relationships and has been missing for so long without anyone reporting it to the police, such investigations require a great deal of effort and time.

But what about this case?

To put it simply—the body had barely arrived at the police station's forensic lab, and the limbs weren't even frozen stiff, when news arrived that the final culprit had been successfully identified!

This situation plunged the police officers, who were still on duty collecting evidence and searching for clues at the scene, into an eerie silence.

—Because this efficiency is simply too fast!

It's the kind of show that would be universally condemned by viewers even if it were placed in a crime drama!

In particular, Officer Sun, who received the phone call and learned the whole situation, became extremely interested in this so-called criminal investigation system for the first time.

-

It turned out that after Xiao He's criminal investigation system successfully reconstructed the deceased's appearance using AI based on the scene image, the photo was quickly sent back to various police stations for investigation and confirmation.

On one hand, they compared data with databases and missing persons reports, while on the other hand, police officers immediately conducted on-site investigations.

The nearest police officers quickly arrived at the scene of the outsourced waste disposal company's fleet and questioned the drivers again.

As a result, one of the drivers, named Fu Shunping, successfully attracted the attention of the police.

The experienced police officer could tell from his expression that something was very wrong.

When Fu Shunping saw the AI-generated photo of a real person in their hands, his face turned deathly pale.

It truly exemplifies what it means to have a deathly pale face.

Need I say more?

There's definitely something wrong with this kid!

And so, Fu Shunping was taken away by the police for investigation once again.

Fu Shunping was a man everyone already remembered well, because when they were staking out the illegal dumping site, he and another driver were the ones who defied the rules and secretly came up the mountain to dump garbage at night.

Looking at it now, this guy wasn't just defying the rules; he was probably already feeling guilty!

As expected, the police used the available information and intelligence to arrest Fu Shunping and interrogate him thoroughly. Fu Shunping immediately confessed.

"Yes, I hit him."

Fu Shunping shrugged, his head drooping, his face full of despair.

"But disposing of the body wasn't my original plan! It was our captain who came up with a suggestion to dump the body over there..."

"Really, I never intended to run away in the first place!"

"But, but—"

Fu Shunping frantically scratched his hair. "I have a family to support! The company takes such a huge cut; that little money isn't even enough to cover our gas costs! If we don't secretly dump the garbage here, we simply can't survive! I have a mortgage, a car loan, and my child needs to go to school. I... I really—"

"And who knows why he was at that corner so late! I was... I was being so careful!"

To put it simply, this case can be summarized in one sentence: Fu Shunping, as usual, drove up the mountain to illegally dump garbage a little over a month ago, but unexpectedly, this time he hit and killed someone while driving at night.

Finally, on the advice of their fellow driver, the two secretly put the body into the garbage dump they had been in before and dumped it together into a ravine.

—But what I didn't expect was that the net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.

Not long after that incident, a celebrity named Xiao He was fishing by the river, which triggered a series of events.

Of course, the suitcase incident during the fishing trip wasn't the direct trigger; the subsequent outbreak of food poisoning at the agritainment venue was, but it was still the starting point for everything.

Fu Shunping sensed something was wrong as soon as the authorities began cleaning up the garbage.

But he was both confident and insecure.

On one hand, he believed that no third person would know about his disposal of the body, but on the other hand, he was worried that the police would actually go down into the cave one by one to investigate.

Therefore, Fu Shunping and his accomplices went to another garbage dump that day to illegally dump garbage.

Even if the police investigate, they probably won't be able to find the well where they dumped the body, right?

What they didn't expect was that several drivers were using that one illegal parking spot. They kept their mouths shut, but the other drivers might not!

So in the end, the location where they dumped the body was revealed by other drivers, and because it was connected to an underground river with many hidden dangers, the authorities decided to officially send people to retrieve the body from that location.

And what Fu Shunping could never have imagined was that, because of Xiao He, Fusheng Technology had borrowed several mechanical spiders to help with the salvage operation...

Well, all I can say is that although Fu Shunping and Xiao He were complete strangers and had never even formally met, Xiao He's presence was truly a bit of a "nemesis" to him.

Fortunately, Fu Shunping himself is unaware of this.

He simply sat on the "calm-down chair," filled with remorse, muttering about the incident as if reviewing his failure or shirking his responsibility. Meanwhile, the police officers taking statements were already able to calmly face the suspects' subsequent confessions and record the details of their testimonies.

As for Fu Shunping's words, they naturally wouldn't believe them so easily, nor would they have much sympathy for him. The truth of the matter wasn't up to Fu Shunping to decide; they needed to "invite" another person to give a statement, and their words would need to be verified and investigated afterward.

However, in any case, things have become much easier now.

Although much material still needs to be added, everyone felt relaxed and happy at this moment.

Such a case was solved in just over three hours. Tell me, who else can do that?

"On-site salvage, forensic autopsy, facial reconstruction, clue collection..."

At the scene, a police officer muttered to himself while simultaneously counting on his fingers.

"If such a criminal investigation system can actually be installed into the official database in the future, then the moment the AI ??reconstructs the deceased's appearance, will the deceased's detailed identity information also appear at the same time?"

One of the police officers had a bold idea.

"In my opinion, it's not just the deceased's identity information; if we give it a little more time, the murderer's file might even come out along with it."

The veteran salvage team member standing to the side stood with his hands behind his back, speaking leisurely, his demeanor no longer showing the emotion and worry he had just displayed.

After all, with the mechanical spiders, many of their jobs are already flashing.

But now, at first glance, the "iron rice bowl" job next door is still shining brightly!

The experienced driver instantly calmed down.

Anyway, he's about to retire, so who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
