I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 373 - 231: Case Within a Case

With a clear address in hand, the dredging team used sonar detection within a fixed range and quickly found a suspicious spot.

One area had sonar feedback that resembled human contours, so the team immediately dispatched divers to retrieve it.

Soon, they surfaced: "Found it, it is indeed a body, weighted down with chains and an iron ball. Get a rope."

With everyone working together, Jing Chuanchao’s body was pulled from the water.

"It’s actually real!"

Seeing Jing Chuanchao’s body, Yu Chuanfei realized that the contents of the email were indeed true!

"Who exactly sent this to me? The information is so accurate, it’s clearly someone who knows about this, could it be the murderer?"

"Reporting their own murder? No, they would have just confessed!"

"Is it a mysterious witness? Afraid of retaliation?"

Yu Chuanfei tried to investigate the email sender but found nothing.

Now that Jing Chuanchao’s body has been recovered, it confirmed that a murder did indeed occur.

Yu Chuanfei immediately initiated the murder investigation procedure, reported the case, and began the investigation.

In fact, the investigation wasn’t difficult because the email contained detailed information about the murder and the route to dump the body into the river. All he had to do was follow the email’s instructions to gather evidence.

"I’ve handled cases for over twenty years, and this is the first time a murder case has been so easy."

Yu Chuanfei smirked slightly at himself. Though the case was easy, he didn’t feel comfortable, always feeling as if an unseen hand was controlling everything, with him as a mere pawn being moved at will.

He really disliked this, but with a murder case at hand, his duty required him to solve it. Even if he was being used by that unseen hand, he had no choice but to proceed.

"Yu, it really is Jing Chuanchao. It seems that email was genuine, making President Hu from the agency the prime suspect."

"This Jing Chuanchao was quite the pervert, targeting President Hu’s wife, who’s in her fifties."

"Guess he didn’t want to strive any longer and took a shortcut."

Hearing the team discussing, Yu Chuanfei sternly interrupted them: "Enough, keep your personal feelings out of the investigation. Let’s go to the agency and find President Hu. According to the email’s clues, Jing Chuanchao’s last meeting was with President Hu."

Under Yu Chuanfei’s lead, the criminal investigation team headed back to the agency. The receptionist thought they were looking for Jing Chuanchao and quickly said, "Jing Chuanchao didn’t come to the office today."

"We know, this time we’re here to see President Hu."

"To see President Hu?" The receptionist hesitated. Since the incident yesterday, President Hu refused all visitors, but with police present, she reluctantly said, "I’ll ask the manager."

Sitting in his office, President Hu heard the police were here and thought Jing Chuanchao had reported him. He had Jing Chuanchao dealt with, and now he dared to report to the police? How restless must he be.

However, he wasn’t afraid of the report. Jing Chuanchao had no evidence to prove it was his people who did it to him.

Even if everyone knew it was his doing, without evidence, the police couldn’t touch him.

So he told the receptionist over the phone, "Let them come up."

"Yes, President Hu. I will bring them up now."

The instructed receptionist put down the phone and told Yu Chuanfei and the others, "Officers, President Hu has agreed to see you. Please follow me."

The receptionist led them to the elevator and up to President Hu’s office door, "President Hu is inside."

"Thank you."

Upon entering the office, President Hu feigned nonchalance, "What can I do for you all?"

"There’s a murder case. We want to ask you a few questions."

As Yu Chuanfei began questioning, his assistant started recording the conversation.

"A murder case?"

Upon hearing "murder case," President Hu felt a twinge of nervousness. Could it be that last time...

Has it been exposed?

After so long, it should be hard to trace back to him, right?

President Hu was feeling uneasy, but having been in his position for so long, he knew how to keep his emotions in check, maintaining an innocent look while facing Yu Chuanfei.

"That’s right, do you know Jing Chuanchao?"

"Yes, he was an employee of my company, but he was dismissed yesterday."

After hearing the name Jing Chuanchao, President Hu felt a pang of regret.

Is this how he loses his dignity, with everyone knowing about the incident, inducing social anxiety and fear of facing others.

Whether or not others mocked him, he always felt ridiculed.

But now, the police linked Jing Chuanchao’s name to a murder case, causing a whirlwind of thoughts.

Could it be that Jing Chuanchao couldn’t accept his fate and chose to end it all?

That would indeed be good news.

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"Yesterday, I haven’t seen him since after work. Did something happen to him?"

President Hu grew uneasy, unable to resist asking back.

"He’s dead."

"Dead?"

Upon hearing that Jing Chuanchao was indeed dead, President Hu felt an indescribable sense of joy.

Now that he had accomplished so much, with laws growing stricter, he wouldn’t dare take risks with human lives. Especially with their unresolved conflict, the police would suspect him first if Jing Chuanchao were dead.
