Qinghe City.

Jianyuan Residential Compound.

Behind two six-story small western-style buildings, there is a winding path that stretches for kilometers.

Several villas are hidden among them, all of which are large detached houses of the bold and unrestrained style.

Huang Qiangming sat in the front row of the electric scooter and turned his head to whisper, "These villas on this side were built by Jianyuan himself. The small western-style buildings in front are dormitories for the technical backbone of the unit, and the villas behind are for experts, general managers, and the like. The Jianyuan CEO and his family also live here."

"What about property management?" Jiang Yuan glanced at the young man driving the electric scooter. If there is a young man in charge of property management, it means the quality is good.

"It's Jianyuan's own property management company. They have also developed real estate in the city."

"Then the surveillance here should be very comprehensive."

Huang Qiangming shook his head slightly and said, "Jianyuan's CEO doesn't like installing surveillance cameras in the community."

Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun exchanged glances in silence.

Intrusion theft is not easy to solve. The recent murder case Jiang Yuan investigated in Longli County was essentially an intrusion theft case.

The CEO of Jianyuan deliberately used his connections to control the spread of information, which only increased the difficulty of the case. Putting aside other factors, the high-profile investigation was the first to be ruled out.

The electric scooter traveled for a few minutes, fully demonstrating the concept of a winding path.

Moreover, unlike ordinary commercial villa communities, the villas in Jianyuan's self-built community are widely spaced apart, and the width of the roads exceeds the average level. Each villa is separated by trees, bamboo, and shrubs, as well as some low walls, which fully reflects the privacy.

However, the total area is still not large.

Moreover, it seems that only half of the villas are occupied.

"Are they not fully occupied? I see many villas are empty." Jiang Yuan directly asked the young man driving the car this time.

"Yes, these villas do not have property rights, only for living. Some people don't like it and move out after living for a while. The company usually reserves them for a period of time. If they are still not occupied, they will take them back and redistribute them next time." The driver paused and said, "Many residents here move out after living for a few years."

It is equivalent to the nature of a dormitory, but with better conditions, it is also more suitable for older workers who bring their families.

Thinking about it carefully, it shows that Jianyuan's compensation for senior workers should be quite good. Otherwise, everyone should be willing to live in these villas.

"If there is no property right, do they have to move out when they leave the job?" Jiang Yuan asked again.

"Yes."

"Is the turnover rate high?"

"I can't say for sure." The driver was quite clever.

Jiang Yuan smiled. From the perspective of the community, the core circle of Jianyuan's high-level executives is quite interesting.

Jiang Yuan continued to observe.

From what he saw, for a normal person to walk in such a community, it would still take some time, at least ten to fifteen minutes to walk to the villa entrance.

But if you ignore these natural and semi-natural barriers and choose to walk in a straight line, a parkour enthusiast might be able to leave the community in two or three minutes.

The only things that can really block people are those low walls.

Shrubs or bamboo forests can block the line of sight, but not people.

Of course, this may dirty clothes, or even tear them, and it is possible to scratch the skin. On the other hand, carrying too many heavy items is not feasible.

With various chaotic thoughts in his mind, Jiang Yuan arrived at the innermost mansion.

Inside, there were about twenty to thirty people sitting in the courtyard.

There were young and old, men and women. Some were talking to others in suits and shirts, while others were holding computers or phones to entertain themselves.

The person who was surrounded by everyone should be Yuan Jiansheng. As soon as he saw Huang Qiangming, Jiang Yuan, and the others, he immediately stood up to greet them.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Huang Qiangming maintained a confident demeanor.

He came in a police uniform, which can be said to control the spread of information as much as possible, facilitating the listing of key enterprises in the city. If he were to back down, Huang Qiangming would not agree.

"Captain Huang, you've worked hard." Yuan Jiansheng looked like a big shot, but spoke very humbly, "I feel relieved when I see you all coming. I have already had my family move out of the rooms. Let me know if there is anything I can do here."

Huang Qiangming looked at Jiang Yuan.

"This is Officer Jiang Yuan, right?" Yuan Jiansheng shook hands with Jiang Yuan again, shaking it twice, and said, "I heard from a friend that you are the top detective in our Qinghe City's criminal investigation field. This case, I entrust it to you."

Dozens of people at the scene instantly looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was a little unaccustomed. Generally, people don't take the initiative to shake hands with forensic experts.

This CEO is quite something.

And he speaks well.

Jiang Yuan even felt a little embarrassed. "I have achieved some results, but it's not to the extent of being called the top detective."

"This is the consensus of everyone. When it comes to the director of the Qinghe Bureau, everyone now says that Officer Jiang is a miracle in the police world... The 'top detective' was said by a friend from the Provincial Department. They said that the cases that others can't solve, are like playing for you..." Yuan Jiansheng praised Jiang Yuan while showcasing his extensive network.

Jiang Yuan was even more surprised. He had never met the director of the Qinghe Bureau face to face, let alone know who the Provincial Department was referring to.

At the same time, Yuan Jiansheng did not overlook Huang Qiangming and Wu Jun. He turned his head and made a few remarks, making the two of them unable to help but smile.

He is extremely good at speaking. He once made a man give him millions of dollars in just three sentences. If the listing is successful this time, he can make tens of thousands of men and women blush and become infatuated with just a few words."Let's go to the scene first. Have the investigation equipment been brought?" Jiang Yuan asked Huang Qiangming.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

"They're all inside the door." Huang Qiangming replied, then added, "There are two technicians from the Qinghe City Bureau inside to assist you."

Jiang Yuan looked around at the crowd, knowing that these people might all be suspects of Yuan Jiansheng, otherwise they wouldn't have been gathered in the yard, not working.

The CEO of a soon-to-be-listed company had a theft in his study. The first suspects would be acquaintances, which was perfectly reasonable.

Jiang Yuan would have done the same.

"Let me take a picture of everyone." Before entering the door, Jiang Yuan turned around, took out his phone, and snapped a few photos.

Some people didn't even have time to hide. Of course, most people knew that hiding was useless.

Jiang Yuan did this just in case, to prevent anyone from having to leave due to an emergency, causing changes in the list of people present.

This kind of thing had happened before.

As a big shot, Yuan Jiansheng could easily gather 30 people.

But keeping an eye on 30 people was actually quite difficult. If someone quietly left and others covered for them, they could easily slip off the list.

Wu Jun followed Jiang Yuan into the mansion.

Upon opening the door, they saw a beautiful screen, a dozen boxes, and two investigators, all placed here.

The two scene investigators from the Qinghe City Bureau, one thin and one fat, the thin one was about 50 years old and had met Jiang Yuan before. The fat one was in his early 20s, slightly older than Jiang Yuan. It was clear that it was a master-apprentice relationship, similar to Jiang Yuan and Wu Jun's combination.

Everyone greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

Over the past half a year or so, Jiang Yuan's reputation in Qinghe City had been well established. The reservoir corpse case not long ago was even led by the Qinghe City Bureau.

Therefore, although they had never chatted privately, the scene investigators from the Qinghe City Bureau were very familiar with Jiang Yuan.

The two of them were sent by the city bureau to assist Jiang Yuan, without any competitive elements, but rather with a business trip attitude.

Jiang Yuan checked the investigation boxes and other items again, then picked up a box in each hand and headed straight for the study.

Passing through the living room, they saw two spiral staircases under the brilliant sunlight, from bottom to top, very impressive.

"This is what you call a house." The 20-something fat man said with envy, then turned to ask, "Master, have you ever seen a house like this before?"

"I have, it was also in this European style, four floors, thousands of square meters, four people died at once, blood flowed down the stairs from the second floor, creating a bloody staircase..." The thin man recounted leisurely.

The young fat man shivered, his envy completely gone.

The thin investigator then turned to Wu Jun and joked, "You rarely come to scenes where no one has died, right? I know Jiang Yuan, he often goes to other scenes."

"For me, it's pretty much the same." Wu Jun replied calmly, "Sometimes after I collect the body, I still have to check the scene, right? Those scenes with little or no blood, once the body is removed, it's just like that. Wearing a Guan Gong, or a Buddha, or a cross, all work..."

The first half was fine, but the second half left the fat investigator stunned.

"What happens if you don't wear one?" The young fat investigator asked.

"Nothing much, I just occasionally have nightmares, like waking up in a pool of blood, sometimes feeling my mouth filled with blood, sticky all over. The scariest part is getting up and finding bodies all around, some even dissected, and when I look at the faces, they're often people I know... Wearing a Guan Gong prevents that." Wu Jun said lightly.

The fat investigator swallowed and unconsciously touched his chest.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but touch his pocket. Before he left, he gave his master half a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and his master gave him a Guan Gong made of bamboo in return.
