Chapter 1276 - 632: Corpse Emerges? Target Locked

After a while.

Luo Fei and his team arrived at their destination.

A crowd had already gathered here.

And when they saw Luo Fei arrive,

the factory’s manager held their breath.

"Officer, I’m really sorry to trouble you with this."

But seeing the other party’s smile,

Luo Fei responded seriously.

"Let’s skip the pleasantries. What’s the situation?"

Luo Fei’s directness prompted the manager to answer quickly.

"Officer, just recently, while cleaning the pressure cookers for the pre-made meals, our workers discovered parts of a human body inside one."

Following the manager’s gaze, he saw it.

It was a pressure cooker taller than a person.

And very deep.

It was obviously prepared for heating large food items.

Beside the pressure cooker on the ground,

lay a corpse.

"Officer, when we found him, the body had been through several cycles in the pressure cooker, along with shredded pork in garlic sauce. So... we’re afraid it’s difficult to identify who he is."

Hearing this,

there was some embarrassment, and a fine layer of sweat formed on their brow.

However, Luo Fei was unfazed.

"No problem. Although it has been boiling for some time, the skeletal structure remains relatively intact."

"Moreover, checking for missing employees or those absent without leave in recent days should yield results."

And indeed,

just as Luo Fei and the others were speaking,

a security guard from the duty room suddenly walked over quickly, showing Luo Fei his attendance sheet.

"Mr. Luo, just two nights ago, Old Zheng from our security department was supposed to come to work, but I didn’t see him. So I suspect the deceased might be him."

"Not might be, but definitely is."

At that moment,

as Luo Fei suddenly spoke up,

Lan Mengzhou, standing beside, couldn’t help but be curious.

"Mr. Luo, how did you come to such a conclusion?"

Seeing a look of puzzlement from the other,

seemingly not expecting such a deduction,

Luo Fei patiently explained.

"It’s simple, the deceased had high bone density and loose teeth. Chen Jinyan is a middle-aged man, and his wife took him for dental check-ups and porcelain crowns. But this old man’s teeth have partially fallen out, don’t you think?"

Luo Fei’s explanation made the colleague shiver, holding their breath.

"Officer, does that mean this deceased person really is Old Zheng?"

Seeing the disbelief,

almost disbelieving their ears,

Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"It should be."

Saying this, he showed the thermal imaging device that he had scanned earlier.

This almost made the guard faint.

Because in this large batch of freshly heated pre-made meals,

was a very regular rectangular metal piece, emitting a higher temperature than the surrounding.

Undoubtedly, it was the old guard’s badge.

"How could this happen, who on earth harmed Old Zheng?"

However, upon hearing this news,

Luo Fei couldn’t relax.

"The only fortunate thing is this batch of food hasn’t been loaded or shipped out yet. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes, Mr. Luo, but why would something happen to the old guard? Did he, like my husband, know the company’s secret? Is that why he suffered this fate?"

Seeing the bewilderment and hint of doubt in their voice,

Luo Fei hurriedly comforted them.

"I understand your feelings, but the priority now is to quickly uncover the truth."

"As for your husband, I will continue to assign people to investigate. And I believe if he’s alive, you’ll see each other soon enough."

Saying this, it reassured the woman significantly.

"Mr. Luo, thank you so much."

Seeing the sincerity,

Luo Fei continued to focus on examining the body.

Almost concurrently,

the police station called.

"Mr. Luo, we’ve already brought Manager Liu to the interrogation room."

"But he insists on speaking with you, so if possible, could you oblige and communicate with him?"

Hearing the request,

Luo Fei spoke sternly.

"Does Manager Liu want to say that the deceased has nothing to do with him?"

Luo Fei seemed casually indifferent.

But the officer on the other end felt a bit helpless.

"Mr. Luo, we asked him about the body, but he insists it’s unrelated to him."

"So we suspect he might indeed be innocent, or there might be other circumstances we’re unaware of."

The officer seemed hesitant to continue.

Luo Fei nonchalantly replied,

"Simple, let him talk to me. I’m curious what he has to say."

Noting Luo Fei’s interest,

the officer had no objection.

"Alright, Mr. Luo, please wait a moment."

During their conversation,

the officer handed the phone to Liu Guanghui.

"Manager Liu, what would you like to say?"

Detecting Luo Fei’s curiosity,

appearing somewhat unsure why Liu insisted on talking to him,

Liu Guanghui quickly explained,

"Mr. Luo, I can assure you, I have nothing to do with the guard’s death. There’s definitely more to this story."
