You're cast as a villain, and you're supposed to teach the police how to solve cases?

Team Leader Zhao paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted,

"You're brilliant, Chief!"

"Get out! Go to sleep. I've already spoken to the production team. Oh, and starting tomorrow, keep Meng Yang and his sister at home and don't allow them to do anything else."

I refuse to believe that with hundreds of thousands of people searching together, we wouldn't be able to find the body. Humph!

After hanging up the phone, Team Leader Zhao clenched his fist excitedly.

"Captain Zhao, what did the director say?" Old Wu and Xiao Song relaxed, their bodies going limp.

"The chief said the case is still unsolved and we need to continue searching for the body."

"Ah?! There really is a corpse!" the two exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, the director has confirmed with the program team. Also, the director said to get a good night's sleep tonight, and to issue a notice first thing tomorrow morning, inviting everyone to help solve the case. This will not only provide us with clues but also let everyone understand criminal investigation work."

Old Wu turned slightly to the side, facing the camera, gave a thumbs-up, and shouted loudly,

"The director has great foresight!"

After he finished speaking, he nudged Xiao Song, who was still stunned.

Xiao Song immediately understood and did the same.

"The director has great foresight!"

Old Wu's face darkened. "I told you to follow along, not to be exactly the same as me."

......

March 17th, Day 13.

A notice appeared on the police department's official website.

Announcement Regarding the Solicitation of Clues in the Liu Fugui Case

To the general public:

On March 5, citizen Liu Fugui was murdered, and his body has not been found to date.

The wisdom of the masses is boundless. In order to solve the case as soon as possible and give the deceased an explanation, we are now widely soliciting clues from the public. If you have any clues, please contact the local police station, or call the Criminal Investigation Brigade directly, or leave a message in the live broadcast room.

The net of justice is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes its reach; no crime can escape the discerning eyes of the people.

The announcement caused a sensation across the internet.

[Wow, wasn't this case supposed to be about Lu Fei's delusions? Why are they asking for clues again?]

[Does this mean Liu Fugui is really dead? And Lu Fei's delusions were fake?]

What exactly happened?

Whom should we believe? Meng Yang or the police?

[Of course we believe the police! The show is still airing live, so they're definitely saying the show isn't over yet.]

[Holy crap! I just checked, the live stream really didn't stop, what the police said is true.]

[This is interesting. It really is a murder case, and the police can't find the body. Everyone, think of a way to crack Meng Yang's scheme together.]

[This announcement praised me so much, saying I'm wise and insightful. If I didn't have some real skills, I'd be letting this announcement down.]

[Damn it! Start searching!]

I'm not even watching the World Cup today, I'm just watching the live stream, I refuse to believe I can't find it!

After the announcement was issued, the show's popularity, which had cooled down, surged again, and everyone wanted to express their opinions.

At the same time, Qin Wei also sat in front of the computer with great interest.

The police couldn't find the body and had to ask netizens for help.

Interesting.

He touched his chin.

It seems my opportunity has come ahead of schedule.

He glanced at the pile of detective novels on the table, full of confidence.

The station director has already spoken to Zhang Cheng about the announcement.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng was not surprised at all when he saw the announcement.

And for the show, this is good news.

Everyone wants to show off their skills, and no one wants to do something as troublesome as making a phone call. They'll all crowd into the live stream room and type a few words on the keyboard.

There are three days left.

He refused to believe that so many people couldn't find any useful clues.

Meng Yang and Lu Fei originally planned to go to school and run errands according to their normal routine, but the production team told them directly that they could only stay in their room.

Upon hearing this news, Meng Yang was speechless. He decided to just take three days to rest.

From the moment the announcement was issued in the morning, Zhao and his two teammates began explaining the case in the live broadcast room.

However, those who watched the full live stream before already knew their explanations and were too lazy to listen. What everyone was more interested in was how to showcase their long-hidden detective talents.

After all, every man has a dream of becoming a detective.

[Eddie Peng from Youzhou: I think it's definitely buried, just buried in a rather hidden place. So we'll dig around Meng Yang's neighborhood; we're sure to find it.]

[Jizhou Wu Yanzu: Nonsense! That trio has already dug around the entire area. If they dug any further, the whole neighborhood would become a dangerous building. If you ask me, since he brings lunchboxes every day, he must have used those lunchboxes to smuggle people out little by little.]

Holy crap! A person weighs over 100 pounds, and you're carrying over ten pounds of that out every day? Is that a lunchbox or a bomb?!

[Lingling Xing Daorong: I'll do it. It's definitely under Grandpa Ma's bed. Grandpa Ma's hearing isn't working well, so even if I hide it under his bed, he won't know.]

[Seriously? Can you guys be this ridiculous? Under Grandpa Ma's bed? Grandpa Ma may be hard of hearing, but he's not blind. Besides, Grandpa Ma's security booth is so small, there's barely room for one more person to step in.]

I think, given Meng Yang's cunning nature, he's most likely hiding in a very secluded place.

[The person upstairs is right! But please stop talking, it's a waste of comment resources.]

[Damn, I've been looking at your posts all morning, and they're completely useless.]

[Ah! I've got it! Meng Yang always sneaks into other people's feasts, right? He cuts up the corpses, then eats the meal while throwing the pieces into the swill bucket.]

[Damn it, Meng Yang only ate at two banquets, and each time he threw away dozens of kilograms of garbage? Is your slop bucket that big?]

[Stop talking nonsense, I think mine is the most reliable. It's dissolving liquid; just pour it on and it's gone, then rinse with water, and you're done.]

【…】

【…】

【…】

Why don't you just be Thanos, snap your fingers and everything's gone?

Instead of listening to your nonsense, I'd rather go watch Captain Zhao talk.

...

Team Leader Zhao is currently discussing the body.

"Hello everyone, based on our past experience in solving cases, a body doesn't just disappear into thin air. Usually, when a body goes missing, it's because the murderer has used some methods to hide it."

"Also, it has been 13 days since Liu Fugui went missing. Usually, a corpse will have abdominal swelling and the soft tissue inside the body will decompose into a semi-fluid paste, commonly known as corpse fluid, which will flow out from the mouth, nose, ears and other places."

"Furthermore, corpses release high concentrations of gases such as cadaverine, putrescine, and hydrogen sulfide, producing a highly penetrating, suffocating stench that can be smelled from a distance."

"These are all powerful tools for us to find bodies. Once you smell a foul odor, you can follow the smell to check, and you will most likely find a rotting body."

[Damn, Captain Zhao is so professional! I can almost picture that scene in my mind.]

"Damn, this is disgusting, I don't want to look anymore."

[Team Leader Zhao, I have rhinitis, can I still smell it?]

Don't worry, that smell alone will clear your nose, let alone cause rhinitis.

Qin Wei sat in front of the computer, listening attentively to the lecture and taking notes.
