Qin Island Botanical Garden.
Before Tian Li came to the botanical garden, she went to Zhang Zihan's home.
She found her unwashed clothes and bedsheets in her bedroom.
With the help of the dog trainer, she let the Labrador smell the source of the smell, and then the dog trainer ordered the dog to start searching.
Because they had worked together before, Han Bin and the others were very confident in this police dog.
Different from ordinary dogs, the police dog was a reliable comrade of the police officers.
The botanical garden was the second largest park in Qin Island.
Because three days had passed, the smell had faded a lot, which made it more difficult for the police dog to search.
The dog trainer let the police dog smell the source every once in a while.
The Labrador took small steps. After walking for a while, Han Bin felt that the surrounding scenery was a little familiar.
There were a lot of trees around, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground. Under the sunlight, the botanical garden seemed to be covered with a layer of gold leaf.
He recalled that on December 9th, Zhang Zihan had posted three sets of photos on her WeChat Moments. They were selfies of her cleaning the garbage, and the background was very similar to this place.
"Woof, woof …" The Labrador barked twice and started to dig the ground with its paws.
It found a white object in the thick layer of fallen leaves.
The dog trainer shouted, "Suspicious item found."
"The others stay where you are," Han Bin said and walked over with Zeng Ping.
Han Bin squatted on the ground and picked up the suspicious item. It was a white wireless headset.
"This headset is probably Zhang Zihan's," said Zeng Ping.
Han Bin put the headset into a plastic bag and stood up. "This should be where Zhang Zihan cleans the garbage."
Zeng Ping took a few steps forward. "Yes, I remember the angle of the selfie. It should be near my hand."
Han Bin observed carefully and took a few more photos. "The leaves are too thick to leave obvious footprints."
Zeng Ping turned to the dog trainer. "Are there any other suspicious items around here?"
The dog trainer shook his head. "No."
"Captain Zeng, look over here." Han Bin pointed to a spot not far ahead. "This area keeps moving forward. It looks like it was dragged."
Zeng Ping stared at it for a while. Because of the fallen leaves, the drag marks weren't very obvious. However, looking in the direction that Han Bin was pointing at, there was indeed a slight drag mark that was different from the leaves on both sides.
Zeng Ping said to the dog trainer beside him, "There should be other crime scenes. Continue searching."
The dog trainer responded and let the police dog sniff the ground again. The police dog sniffed the ground and seemed to have found traces of the smell. It kept moving forward while sniffing the ground.
Han Bin stood at the back and didn't move immediately. He found that the police dog's search marks matched the dragging marks.
The police dog continued to walk for a while until it reached a rockery. It began to wander around, and the scent seemed to have faded a little.
The dog trainer let the police dog sniff again, and then the police dog went around to the back of the rockery. This place was relatively hidden, and with the rockery as a barrier, the situation couldn't be seen from afar.
"Woof woof …" The police dog barked again, and its two paws began to dig the ground.
However, this time the suspicious item was buried a little deeper, and it still couldn't be dug out after digging for a while.
Han Bin waved to someone not far away. "Zhao Ming, shovel."
Zhao Ming carried the shovel and ran over. "Brother Bin, where do you want to dig?"
Han Bin pointed to the front. "The place where the dog's paws are digging."
Zhao Ming spat on his hand, rubbed his palms, and started digging with the shovel.
Han Bin smiled bitterly. "Get ready to dig until the end. Don't expect me to trade with you."
"What are you talking about? How can I let the leader do it? I can do it myself," Zhao Ming said indifferently.
Zhao Ming's family was rich, and many people thought that he became a police officer for fun. After the excitement, he might quit.
However, in Han Bin's view, Zhao Ming's family was well-off, and he had a lot of choices. He was also willing to become a police officer, which made him the purest of them.
He really liked the profession of a police officer.
Take Han Bin for example. He became a police officer mostly because of his family. Han Bin's father was a police officer.
Although Han Weidong's rank wasn't high, and he was only the director of a basic police station, he had been a police officer for so many years, and he had many friends and colleagues in Qingdao.
Dai Minghan and Zheng Kaixuan both knew Han Weidong. Zeng Ping's rank was lower, and he didn't know Han Weidong very well.
To put it bluntly, as long as Han Bin became a police officer, he would be able to do well under Han Weidong's care, even if his ability wasn't very good.
This wasn't to say that Han Weidong was using his power for personal gain, but it was human nature.
In America, Old Bu was a president, and so was Little Bu. If Old Bu didn't leave his resources to his son, would it be possible?
Little Bu's younger brother was the governor, and he was going to run for president. Would it be possible without his father and brother's resources?
Of course, Han Bin could become the director of the criminal police team so quickly mainly because of his own ability.
His relationship with Han Weidong also helped him create a good working environment. Otherwise, no matter how great his contributions were, it would be useless if no one promoted him.
"Crack crack …" Zhao Ming's head was already sweating from digging, and the soil was half a meter deep.
Zhao Ming shoved the shovel down twice, but it couldn't go any further.
"There's something down there."
"Clean up the surrounding soil," Han Bin said.
Zhao Ming scraped away the surrounding soil and found a green woven bag.
Han Bin recognized the bag at a glance. "This is the bag used to store the garbage. Zhang Zihan used this bag to store the garbage."
"Don't destroy the bag, dig out the whole thing. Brother Bin, you look after the scene. I'll go inform the technical team and the forensics team." Zeng Ping said and left.
Although he hadn't seen the dead person, with Zeng Ping's experience, he was almost right.
No one would spend so much effort to bury a bag of garbage underground.
Han Bin pointed at the Labrador beside him. "Good girl, you've done something again!"
"Tian Li, bring the ham we bought!"
…
Yu Hua Branch, Criminal Investigation Team Three, Team Two Office.
Not long after, Li Hui also heard the news.
Li Hui cleaned up and brought a cup of hot water. Just as he was about to rush to the scene, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock."
"Come in."
The door opened, and two men walked in.
"What do you want?" Li Hui asked.
"I'm Zhang Daquan, a streamer from Flying Fish Entertainment."
"Zhang Ga Dan?"
"Yes, you've watched my livestream too?" Zhang Daquan asked with a smile.
Li Hui furrowed his eyebrows as he understood the hidden meaning behind her words. "Who told you that I watch the livestream?"
"No, no, I guessed." Zhang Daquan smiled awkwardly.
Li Hui glanced at the man beside him. "What's your name?"
"I'm Sun Chuanxi, Ga Dan's assistant."
"Xiaopeng, take Assistant Sun to the lounge for a while." Li Hui took off his jacket and sat back in his chair.
He couldn't go to the scene for the time being.
Sun Xiaopeng stood up and left with Sun Chuanxi. When they returned, Li Hui turned on the recorder and began to take notes.
Routine questions: "Name, age, occupation …"
"Zhang Daquan, everyone calls me Zhang Ga Dan. You can call me that too. I'm nineteen this year, and I've been doing livestreams for more than a year. I'm quite famous now, I'm …"
"Stop, just answer my questions," Li Hui said.
"Yes, sir," Zhang Daquan said.
Li Hui paused, then probed, "Do you have a criminal record?"
"I … I, I was young and immature, I …" Zhang Daquan lowered his head.
"What criminal record?"
"I … committed theft when I was fifteen. I was young and immature, but I've changed now."
Li Hui nodded. "That's good."
He flipped open the notebook and jotted it down.
"What's your relationship with Zhang Zihan?"
"Colleague."
"Are you familiar with each other?"
"Not really."
"When was the last time you saw her?" Li Hui asked.
"At one o 'clock in the afternoon on December 9th, we went to the botanical garden together and separated at the entrance," Zhang Daquan recalled.
"Since then, have you seen Zhang Zihan again?"
"No."
"When did you leave the park?"
"At 4: 30."
"Three hours. What were you doing in the botanical garden?" Li Hui asked.
"Cleaning up the garbage."
"You've been cleaning up the garbage?" Li Hui asked.
"Yes, since it's promoting environmental protection, we must do it honestly. We can't just go through the motions and fool people," Zhang Daquan said.
Ding dong …
Li Hui's phone rang. He opened it and saw a WeChat message. Zhao Ming sent two pictures, and the body had been dug out.
It was just a guess before, but with these two pictures, it was confirmed.
The nature of the case and the importance of the notes were completely different.
Li Hui took a deep breath. "When you were cleaning up the garbage, did you do a live broadcast?"
"No."
"Why didn't you do a live broadcast? It would be good for your reputation as well as publicity," Li Hui said.
Zhang Daquan scratched his head. "I didn't think so much at that time."
"When you were cleaning up the garbage, who was there?"
"Just me and my assistant." Zhang Daquan responded and changed the topic. "Officer, what happened to Zhang Zihan?"
"She's dead."
Zhang Daquan's hands trembled, and his eyebrows were pressed down.
