Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 745 The Vanished Motor!
Li Xianjin led Jia Dongming into the stamping workshop, pointed to the exact location where the body was found, and solemnly introduced to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! This is the crime scene. The deceased was named Sun Peng, a worker in the fitter workshop next door. Yesterday, when he was working the night shift, Sun Peng said he needed to go to the toilet, but he never came back. His coworkers at the next workstation thought he had taken leave to go home, so they didn't pay much attention to it."

As Jia Dongming listened to Li Xianjin's account, he stared intently at the crime scene. Although the victim's body had been removed, the bloodstains on the ground seemed to tell Jia Dongming what had happened there.

As the forensic examiner carefully examined the footprints circled on the ground with chalk, Jia Dongming activated his Eagle Eye skill, hoping to find some valuable clues through these footprints.

Soon, Jia Dongming noticed that some of the footprints on the ground extended outwards from the workshop, while others extended inwards. Considering that the footprints outside the workshop might have been covered by other workers' footprints, Jia Dongming followed the extending footprints and walked into the stamping workshop.

Soon Jia Dongming walked up to a stamping machine. Looking at the stamping machine in front of him, his first feeling was that the shape of the stamping machine was a bit strange. So he looked at another stamping machine and soon found out what was strange about it.

Li Xianjin, who was following closely behind Jia Dongming, saw Jia Dongming stop in front of a stamping machine and look around. So he asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Director Jia! Have you found something?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question, Jia Dongming pointed to the iron frame next to the stamping equipment and earnestly reminded Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Take a look at this stamping equipment first, and see if any parts are missing?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, Li Xianjin immediately looked at the stamping equipment in front of him. At first, Li Xianjin did not notice what part was missing from the equipment until he saw another piece of equipment next to it, at which point he realized that the stamping equipment was missing a motor.

Upon discovering that the stamping machine was missing a motor, Li Xianjin immediately realized something and hurriedly asked Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! Do you mean that the missing motor was stolen by the murderer?"

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's question, Jia Dongming nodded firmly and explained with a serious expression, "Captain Li! If I'm not mistaken, the murderer was discovered by the victim who went to the toilet while stealing the motor. To avoid exposing his identity, the murderer killed the victim."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Li Xianjin felt that Jia Dongming's analysis made a lot of sense. He excitedly said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Your analysis makes perfect sense. The murderer must have been discovered by the victim while stealing the motor. In order to avoid being exposed, he killed the victim to cover it up."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's answer, Jia Dongming smiled and nodded, then said to Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! This motor is quite large. It won't be easy for the murderer to sneak out of the factory without being detected by the security department. If we start our investigation from this angle, we should be able to quickly identify the murderer."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's analysis, Li Xianjin, thinking that the murder case would soon be solved, showed an excited expression on his face and hurriedly said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! I'll go find Deputy Section Chief Qiu now and check which vehicles entered and exited the railway factory during the day."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's words and recalling his own judgment, Jia Dongming reminded Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! Check all vehicles that can conceal motors, especially garbage trucks. Only these types of vehicles can truly evade security checks and successfully smuggle motors out of the factory." Li Xianjin nodded immediately upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder and then quickly walked out of the workshop.

As Li Xianjin walked out of the workshop, he saw Qiu Xueping standing outside the workshop door and quickly said to Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! We have made a new discovery!"

When Li Xianjin invited Jia Dongming to assist in the case, Qiu Xueping was completely skeptical about Jia Dongming's ability to solve the case due to Jia Dongming's age. However, seeing that Jia Dongming and Li Xianjin had only been in the workshop for a short time before Li Xianjin said he had made a new discovery, Qiu Xueping was very surprised and quickly asked Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! What new discovery have you made?"

Upon hearing Qiu Xueping's question, Li Xianjin immediately explained to Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! Director Jia just re-inspected the site and discovered that the motor of a stamping machine in the stamping workshop has been stolen."

"What! A motor has been stolen from the stamping workshop? Captain Li! Is this true?" Upon hearing Li Xianjin's report that a motor had been stolen from a piece of equipment in the stamping workshop, Qiu Xueping's face immediately showed shock, and he hurriedly asked Li Xianjin to confirm the news.

When Li Xianjin heard Qiu Xueping's question and saw the shocked expression on the other party's face, he knew very well why the other party was reacting this way.

Faced with Qiu Xueping's question, Li Xianjin nodded very firmly and replied, "Section Chief Qiu! This is absolutely true. According to Director Jia's deduction, the murderer probably took advantage of the fact that the stamping workshop was not open for work last night to sneak into the workshop and steal the motor. As a result, he was discovered by Sun Peng, who came out to use the restroom. In order to prevent his theft from being exposed, the murderer killed Sun Peng to silence him."

Although a worker was murdered in the factory, the murder was an unexpected incident and had little to do with their security department. Now that the motor in the workshop has been stolen, it means that their security department made a mistake in their work, which led to the worker's murder. This means that the nature of the case has changed, and their security department will bear an unshirkable responsibility for this theft and murder case.

Realizing this, Qiu Xueping's face turned very ugly. He quickly said to Li Xianjin, "Captain Li! The motor is quite large. It won't be easy for the murderer to move it out of our factory without anyone noticing. I'll gather people right now and search the factory area. We must find this bastard who stole the motor and killed someone."

When Li Xianjin saw Qiu Xueping preparing to summon the security department to search the factory area, he quickly called out to Qiu Xueping, "Section Chief Qiu! I haven't finished speaking yet, please wait a moment!"
