271: Chapter 253 Service Point_3 271: Chapter 253 Service Point_3 He paused for a moment before Jiang Yuan continued, “During the duty hours, regulations require two people on shift, but the three employees at the service point secretly swapped shifts to work two days and take three days off, so there was always only one staff member present.

Additionally, the service point was equipped with a motorcycle and had water and electricity supplies.

The daily task was to run maintenance works at various factories and mines.”

Jiang Yuan spoke objectively, but in reality, he described a secluded place suitable for dismemberment.

Everyone understood and began to theorize in their own minds.

Xu Taining directly addressed Jiang Yuan, “You continue.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan glanced at Huang Qiangmin, then added, “When Director Liu disappeared, he was accompanied by two officers.

The suspect probably didn’t have enough force to confront them directly.

There’s also no reason for them to confront three policemen face to face.

Earlier, Director Liu’s tyres had been punctured, which shows some of the suspect’s tactics…”

Jiang Yuan didn’t continue his speculation, but instead said, “The first time Director Liu’s tyres were punctured should have been near the mine where the body was dumped.

We also deployed a lot of manpower around the mine to search, but to no avail.

From the information known now, Director Liu might have made his way near the West Mountain service point of the power supply site, or perhaps encountered a similar situation.”

“Do you think the service point at West Mountain could have been the killer’s initial body dumping site?” Xu Taining asked.

“It’s very likely.

We’ve dug deep into the mine on Zifeng Mountain, and the earliest body’s time of death is just over four years ago.

And according to the decomposition state of the body pieces, the fourth victim’s remains certainly do not belong to the first victim.” Jiang Yuan asserted confidently, “Moreover, some bodies have been found without their skulls.

It’s reasonable to suspect the killer might have an earlier, and closer to his home or workplace, body dumping and burial site.”

Zifeng Mountain is still a bit further away compared to Fangjin Township.

A few tens of kilometers of mountain roads, riding a motorcycle at speeds less than 30 kilometers per hour, would take about two hours, potentially even longer.

Honestly, a killer without experience or one lacking psychological fortitude would not dare transport a body that far even in desolate hills and forests.

Experience and psychological fortitude can, however, be developed.

Someone like Fu Guangyun might have killed quite crudely in the beginning, hastily disposing of the body near his home or workplace, which is the most natural response.

But with experience, he could have more choices, and his modus operandi could become more covert and safe.

Even considering the economy of riding a motorcycle might have crossed his mind.

Xu Taining was more familiar with Liu Jinghui than Jiang Yuan and subconsciously agreed with Jiang Yuan’s deduction.

Liu Jinghui was that kind of deductive genius who could find clues without evidence.

To a criminal policeman like Xu Taining, who preferred order and method, Liu Jinghui also possessed a natural intuition.

He always made astonishing assumptions and in the end proved them correct.

Thus, Liu Jinghui’s many hesitations near the mine, his frequent use of police dogs around the killer’s body dumping sites, and the deployment of an above-average level of manpower to search, undoubtedly agitated the killer.

It can be imagined that if not for an imminent crisis, the killer would not have readily attempted to puncture a police officer’s tyres.

This was also one of the reasons Xu Taining consented when Jiang Yuan proposed to pump water out of the filled mine—both because of ample resources and scant clues, and because he believed in Jiang Yuan’s judgment.

At the same time, Xu Taining believed that Liu Jinghui would not wander aimlessly near the mine for so long without a reason.

However, the search near the mine never resulted in finding Liu Jinghui, which was quite frustrating.

The initial thoughts might have been that the mine was too complex or the mountain roads too rugged, causing him to fall or be forced to fall.

Now it seems, Liu Jinghui may have actually located the killer’s dumping site—which for a regular policeman would be unconventional.

An ordinary policeman, after an accident, would definitely be frantically looking for the cause on the spot.

But for Liu Jinghui, even the evidence baited with his own person was just part of the case.

He always used his own logic to solve cases effortlessly, with the finesse of leveraging a great weight with little force.

If there was any fault with Liu Jinghui, perhaps it was that he underestimated the killer’s growth.

The first time the killer punctured a tyre, causing an accident, Liu Jinghui narrowly escaped.

The second time, the killer probably evolved as well.

“Get a map of Fangjin Township and the area around West Mountain,” Xu Taining decided without hesitation.

The subordinate complied and left.

Jiang Yuan cleared his throat and spoke softly, “I think we should deploy police dogs.

It’s best to deploy several, not only to attempt to sniff out corpses but also to use items belonging to Director Liu and the missing officers as scent sources.

Ideally, the suspect should be made a scent source as well.”

“That’s fine, and call the technical investigation team too, to check the suspect’s mobile phone and see if we can narrow down a range,” Xu Taining said, never sparing resources in affluently fought battles.
