Chapter 203 Suspect
"Based on current information, that is indeed the case."
The landlord was murdered a few days ago, and it was initially thought that he was the victim.
Then it was discovered that there were other corpses inside the house, and the walls had been built for nearly twenty years.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased's landlord became a suspect, and ultimately, based on the information obtained from the body analysis, the identity of the remains could not be determined.
But other clues were found.
The landlord is from Gaodi Village, and his original name is Fu Sanqiang.
More than 20 years ago, I had a good relationship with Zhou Kaihe, a bricklayer from the same village, and Zhou Kaihe was in charge of bricklaying.
In the same year, a man went missing in Gaodi Village. He had no parents and was said to have gone out to work, but he had not returned to Gaodi Village for more than 20 years.
The locals all assumed he was away and not coming back, so no one suspected anything was wrong and reported it to the police.
It was a policeman who lived near Gaodi Village who happened to hear about this and investigated the matter.
It was Zhou Kaihe who told them that the man had gone out to work.
After that, he went to the city to help Fu Sanqiang renovate the house in the community. After returning, he continued to work as a bricklayer and never left Gaodi Village.
“The local police station is watching over there, but Zhou Kaihe may have noticed something. He’s stayed home all day and hasn’t come out. He promised to go to the county to help a family renovate their garden.”
Upon hearing her colleague's news, Sheng Daizhen quickly realized, "Did he notice me during the visit?"
My colleague nodded: "Probably. Someone who hasn't been mentioned in over twenty years suddenly comes to ask him, so he must have discovered something."
Sheng Daizhen narrowed her eyes: "Tell them to keep a close eye on things. We'll be there shortly."
Because the body was so old, and the person had no parents, there were no other traces left in the records.
The identity is still being verified, and it cannot be confirmed with 100% certainty that he is the missing man from Gaodi Village.
Therefore, they were unable to produce an arrest warrant for Zhou Kaihe.
The current priority is to go and find him to get information. It would be best if he didn't run away, but if he did, then it's a done deal.

"Today we're going to a place called Highland Village. We'll be staying there tonight. The dorms have all been arranged for you. Each team will have a group leader, so everyone must listen to their group leader and not wander off on their own..."
On the bus, Yang Xifei was drowsy.
Right next to her was Amon, who was very energetic and was peering out the car window.
This was her first time traveling far from home.
The members of the Different Tunes group don't pay much attention to Tian Shu and the others; they only keep a close eye on themselves.
Just because she's a child?
Amon pursed his lips, and soon the bus drove into the village.
Highland Village became a well-known local tourist attraction a few years ago because of its beautiful scenery. The houses in the village have been renovated and transformed into simple villas.
Behind the villa is a large area of forest, on which are privately contracted fruit orchards.
The village is surrounded by large, orderly fields of farmland and a river as smooth and still as a mirror.
The houses are built along the river, and a road has been built into the village, making it very convenient as long as you have a car.
There are also many locals doing business here. Yang Xifei's teacher said upstairs that you can eat crabs raised by local villagers in the evening.
Several houses in the village have been converted into guesthouses; you can stay here tonight.
When they arrived, Yang Xifei rubbed her eyes to wake up and tugged at Amon: "Amon, get off the bus."
Amon followed behind Yang Xifei.
Teacher Yang Xifei gave Amon a special look, and not only her, but the other students were also looking at him.
There are relatively few students from local ethnic minorities in Xiacheng, and most of them are from other regions.
Amon was so beautiful that when Yang Xifei first said she had a younger sister at home who had no one to take care of her and was willing to pay to bring her along, the teacher hesitated a bit. But after seeing Amon, she didn't hesitate anymore.
Nobody cares anymore; we can't just leave such a pretty little girl home alone.
Some classmates curiously asked Yang Xifei who Amon was. Amon jumped off the bus, carrying only a doll that Sheng Daizhen had given her.
She wore a small camel-colored round hat, a camel-colored wool coat, long white cotton socks, and black ankle boots.
She looks like a pampered young lady who has been raised in luxury.
There was absolutely no harmful odor.
Some classmates came up to Yang Xifei and asked her about Amon. Yang Xifei was nervous and gave vague answers.
She also didn't want Amon to get close to other classmates.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was mainly afraid that Amon would get upset and beat her up...
There were more than forty students in the class. Yang Xifei led Amon towards the guesthouse.
They were assigned to a guesthouse, where four people had to share a room because there were a lot of people.
There are only two beds, but they are quite large.
Worried that Amon might feel uncomfortable, Yang Xifei asked her in a low voice, "Is it okay if you sleep in the same bed with me?"
Amon nodded indifferently.
She grinned and said, "As long as you're not scared."
Yang Xifei: "..."
Amon hugged the doll and said, "I want to go for a walk in the village."
"The teacher said I can't go too far alone, so I'll go with you."
Yang Xifei placed her bag next to the bed; inside was a set of clothes for Amon.
Then Yang Xifei took Amon downstairs.
There were quite a few people in the village, including a small supermarket, and a group of tourists also came by.
As Yang Xifei led Amon along the riverbank, Sheng Daizhen and her colleagues drove in.
When Sheng Daizhen saw many thirteen-year-old children by the roadside, she frowned: "Why are there so many children?"
My colleague said, "I heard that a school is having an outing, and they've decided to go to Gaodi Village."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Daizhen suddenly spotted Yang Xifei and Amon by the roadside.
"Why is she here too?" Sheng Daizhen murmured.
"Who?" The colleague followed Sheng Daizhen's gaze and asked, "Hey, isn't that the little girl who discovered the body?"
The day Amon discovered the body, Yang Xifei called the police. The police were quite surprised and were deeply impressed.
It took a while of confirmation before we felt that Amon was alright.
"...She shouldn't be from that school, right?" Sheng Daizhen was a little puzzled. She originally wanted to get out of the car to ask, but then she remembered that she had a mission to complete and that the mission was more important.
Zhou Kaihe's house is just ahead, the furthest one in the village, next to an orchard in the mountains behind.
After Shengdai's car drove past, Amon immediately turned his head to look at the car.
Yang Xifei noticed her sudden movement and asked, "What's wrong?"
Amon smiled again: "Something fun is about to happen."
How could the police suddenly appear here?
She now understands the difference between the police and the officials of the Liang Dynasty.
She pointed ahead.
He looked at Yang Xifei and said, "Let's go over there."
Yang Xifei shook her head: "Not for now, it's almost dinner time, and the teacher won't let us go far."
Amon clicked his tongue in displeasure.
