With so much groundwork laid, even if Lin Yuan didn’t bring it up himself, Wang Yao was planning to.
However, he saw Zheng Yunyin standing there, and figured this young woman probably knew most of it already. So, he said:
“Little Zheng, why don’t you give a brief overview? This was originally a case from your District C.”
Zheng Yunyin, having been called upon, had no reason to refuse. The conference room had a projector, and the electronic files for the case happened to be on her phone.
This case wasn’t from a year ago, Lin Yuan thought, stroking his chin.
The incident occurred in the undeveloped Old City District. Even now, there were still a few holdout households, and the victim was the son of one of them.
Wang Zhiyan, an eighteen-year-old student preparing for the national college entrance exam.
He ranked in the top ten in his class, and the principal and teachers paid special attention to this student from a poor family.
As a student preparing for the college entrance exam, his home was quite far from the school, so he had to spend one or two hours on the road to school almost every day.

In the last month of preparing for his college entrance exam, his body was found outside a stinky ditch in the Old City District.
To put it nicely, it was called a stinky ditch, but in reality, it was a cesspool there.
Wang Zhiyan’s father had lost his ability to work, and his mother was doing some high-paying odd jobs, relying on her son to make something of himself.
Suddenly receiving this news was too much for the couple to bear, and Wang Zhiyan’s parents went directly to the police station to make a scene.
The two claimed that it was the dirty work of a certain construction group and demanded an explanation.
“So, this construction company knew who the holdout households were who wouldn’t move. Otherwise, how could they have found Wang Zhiyan’s parents so accurately?”
Faced with Wang Yao’s question, Zhang Yaozhi nodded.
Normally, someone would secretly visit to gather information, either someone from the company or a local person in charge.
“It was someone from the neighborhood committee, but the other party said they had nothing to do with this matter.”
The Old City District didn’t have surveillance cameras, and these words weren’t recorded, so they didn’t constitute evidence.
“What about later?”
Zheng Yunyin continued:
“The police station didn’t find suitable evidence, so those people were only subjected to simple questioning and then released. After that, demolition work did indeed begin.”
“However, Wang Zhiyan’s parents never gave in.”
Faced with a bustling metropolis, their power was still too insignificant.
This was Haishi. If it were another city, they wouldn’t be able to live so easily.
Everyone present had seen big storms…well, except for Lin Yuan, who had some understanding of these things.
“Looking at it that way, it’s very likely that the construction company was behind it. Wang Zhiyan was such a good student preparing for the college entrance exam, it’s impossible for him to accidentally fall in in the middle of the night, right?”
If that were the case, wouldn’t the school be full of idiots?
At this time, Lin Yuan spoke, asking a question that wasn’t very critical, but important.
“Since it’s been such a long time without a resolution, why is there a need to reopen the investigation now?”
For cases like this that can’t be resolved for the time being, the police station doesn’t just ignore them, but there isn’t any more evidence.
Generally, without more key things, they won’t lightly reopen the investigation.
Zheng Yunyin said:
“That’s because someone found a body yesterday. The location of the body happened to be downstairs from the construction company that was responsible for the reconstruction, specifically, in the toilet.”
Moreover, although the speed of modernization is very fast, inevitably there are still some places that are not very well done.
That toilet, in reality, was no different from those in the Old City District.
“What’s the identity?”
“…It’s the manager who was responsible for Wang Zhiyan’s area. He was also among the first group to persuade Wang Zhiyan to move.”
The price given at the time was actually very unreasonable, but later, for some unknown reason, it doubled. This point of suspicion was also recorded by the police station, but it still couldn’t be considered key evidence.
Lin Yuan understood.
The situation was now very clear. It was nothing more than the use of extreme measures to drive away these holdout households during the demolition. They thought the matter would end there, but they didn’t expect there to be consequences after so long.
“What the police station needs to do now is to investigate Wang Zhiyan’s case thoroughly and give an answer to the public, at the very least.”
That way, maybe the person who killed that manager would stop, and they could find the person as soon as possible.
“Belated justice is not justice in the eyes of many people. Captain Zhang, Wang Zhiyan’s matter is not that easy to end.”
There was a high probability that the other party saw the police station gradually neglecting this case and couldn’t help but commit the crime.
“It’s probably with the mindset of, ‘Since the police station doesn’t care about the good people in this world, then I’ll take care of it.'”
And Lin Yuan could understand this mentality, but understanding was understanding, and the law was the law.
It was like the platform sometimes deducted money from him, and many of the reasons were not within the platform’s consideration, and the consequences were borne by the riders.
Angry? Of course, they were angry, but that wasn’t enough for them to directly attack the platform.
“Consultant Lin, why does your statement seem to be blaming our police station?”
Zhang Yaozhi narrowed his eyes.
“Is there? No, right?”
Lin Yuan denied it anyway.
The police station hadn’t done anything wrong in this matter, but they just hadn’t found the evidence. Many things may not have a result in the end.
“Now we face more than one problem.”
After joking, it was time to get serious. As his voice rang out, the others also focused.
Lin Yuan’s way of thinking was very fast, starting with an analysis of the whole, and then raising problems and slowly explaining them.
“First, we need to find the murderer who killed Wang Zhiyan, otherwise the current murderer will not give up.”
“Second, start with the body and see if there are any similarities to Wang Zhiyan’s death. Also, start with the people around Wang Zhiyan.”
“Third, find everyone who made the decision at the time. If the other party is really seeking revenge, this is definitely not the last one.”
The slower they were, the faster the other party would act.
There wasn’t a cesspool nearby, so they used a toilet instead. The scene probably wouldn’t be too nice to look at, but fortunately, the body should still be there.
“There was more than one person in charge at the time, and they are not all in Haishi now. If the others are not there, is it possible for the other party to cross provinces directly?”
Zhang Yaozhi had obviously thought of a brilliant idea.
What if the person wasn’t there?
The other party’s hatred wouldn’t wait so long, because before this, he had already waited too long.
And what Lin Yuan said made everyone present’s scalp tingle.
“If he’s not there, his family is still there.”
