However, it wasn't the suspect's picture, but the victim's. Fourteen days ago, a taxi driver named Zhang Cheng went missing. His family reported the case, but until now, there has been no news of Zhang Cheng's whereabouts, and the police have not been able to find any results.
However, because the report was filed not long ago, when the photos of missing and deceased people were retrieved and compared, it was discovered that Zhang Cheng looked extremely similar to a person in the picture, or even exactly the same!
However, the other one could not be found. Zhou Hong printed out Zhang Cheng's material delivery photos and then took these documents to Fu Yuanshan to report.
Fu Yuanshan was chatting with Zhou Xuan when Zhou Hongxing knocked on the door and came in. Fu Yuanshan was a little surprised. Of course, he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence or such a fast possibility.
When the technical team was synthesizing the images, Fu Yuanshan felt that Zhou Xuan's description of the images was just random nonsense, because the way he spoke was as if he were talking to a real person. This feeling was similar to Fu Yuanshan's feeling about Zhou Xuan's previous actions. Either Zhou Xuan was talking nonsense, or Zhou Xuan was the real culprit! But no matter which one it was, Fu Yuanshan felt that it had nothing to do with Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Hong excitedly handed Zhang Cheng and the victim's portrait to Fu Yuanshan, and said with a smile, "Director, take a look, isn't this the person?"
Fu Yuanshan looked at the two pictures, his eyes sharpened, his eyebrows rose, and his face beamed with joy. He said, "They look alike! They're practically identical!"
After a moment of excitement, Fu Yuanshan came to his senses and quickly instructed Zhou Hong: "Zhou Hong, immediately notify Zhang Cheng's family to come over, and then have the forensic technology department reconstruct the body!"
After thinking for a moment, Fu Yuanshan added, "The body is too badly decomposed to be identified by facial features alone; we can only use DNA to identify it. You need to specifically instruct Zhang Cheng's family to bring any identifiable evidence, such as his hair. If they don't have that, have Zhang Cheng's children come for blood tests to match the DNA (2000 DNA samples)."
Zhou Hong immediately agreed and went out to handle the matter. Although this dismemberment case was a case that appeared out of nowhere, if the identity of the victim could be verified, it would be a major discovery!
If it can be proven that the dismembered body is Zhang Cheng, then Fu Yuanshan can be certain that the person in the other picture is the murderer!
Although it was amazing and unbelievable, Fu Yuanshan had no choice but to believe it. Zhou Xuan's strength and background had already shown that he didn't need to prove anything to him or flatter him. The only thing that could be said was that Zhou Xuan really wanted to help him!
Fu Yuanshan was also certain that Zhou Xuan was not the murderer in this case!
Using DNA and other technologies for identification and comparison takes time. Even with dedicated personnel, it would still take a day. There's no point in staying in Yun'er any longer. He's done all he could in this case; the rest is up to Fu Yuanshan and his team. "Director Fu, I think there's nothing else going on now. I'll head home. If you need anything, just call me, and I'll try my best to get back!"
Fu Yuanshan was in a good mood at the moment. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright. Mr. Zhou... Little Zhou. I'll arrange for someone to take you back. If this case can be solved, Little Zhou will be our branch's biggest contributor..."
Zhou Xuan immediately reached out to stop Niu, saying, "Director Fu, you're here again. We had an agreement beforehand that you would take all the credit and credit, while I would only do the things for you in secret. You understand what I'm saying!"
Fu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment before he believed that Zhou Xuan's words were true and not an act in front of him. Of course, for a branch bureau chief like himself, a department-level official, what Zhou Xuan said and did was practically nonsense. This wasn't a novel written by Bai Dianying; he had never encountered anything like this before.
Fu Yuanshan immediately understood Zhou Xuan's meaning. Of course, Zhou Xuan, with his strange abilities, did not want to reveal them to the public. However, Zhou Xuan only asked for his secret help, which was a good thing. If Zhou Xuan's abilities were real, then with Zhou Xuan's help, he would have a powerful tool for solving cases and gaining merit. If not 100%, it would be extremely amazing!
Of course, Fu Yuanshan was even less aware that this ability, which surprised him to the extreme, was only a tiny fraction of the abilities Zhou Xuan possessed!
Before leaving, Zhou Xuan specifically instructed Fu Yuanshan: "Director Fu, if you need my help in the future, you must be careful. I need to have direct contact with the murderer or the most direct objects at the crime scene in order to strongly sense the information on the objects. Take that white jade tiger for example, I couldn't figure out the appearance of the murderer and the victim, but when I touched the corpse, I could directly obtain information about the appearance of the murderer and the victim. In short, the more direct and shorter the time it takes to find the object, the more useful it will be to me!"
Fu Yuanshan chuckled and said, "Little Zhou, I understand. And..." He reached out and shook hands with Zhou Xuan, giving him a firm shake, and continued, "Little Zhou, from now on I'll call you Little Zhou, and you can call me Old Fu, or Brother Fu. I'm several decades older than you, so I'll call you Big Brother. From today onwards, we're brothers in arms. Little Zhou, you won't mind if I, Old Fu, don't think so, will you?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Fu, I couldn't be happier!"

Volume 1, Chapter 259: The First Signs of a Lotus Bud
Fu Yuanshan thoughtfully arranged a car for Zhou Xuan with ordinary license plates, a small Audi A4 worth around 400,000 yuan.
Zhou Xuan, however, was actually quite pleased. Whether the car was nice or not didn't matter to him; being low-key was better, and besides, nobody liked being driven around in a police car.
Back at the villa in Dangcheng Garden, the plainclothes policeman who had brought Zhou Xuan back respectfully saw him off and then left. Zhou Xuan also saw Li Wei's car at the villa gate, knowing that Li Wei was still at his house.
Upon entering the hall, Zhou Xuan indeed saw Li Weizheng talking to his mother, sister, Fu Ying, and Aunt Liu. He didn't know what he was saying, but it made them all laugh heartily.
Seeing his younger sister's happy expression, seemingly free from the psychological trauma of being beaten by Wu Jianguo, Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they were worried that their mother would be frightened, the group didn't mention the matter to Jin Xiumei after they returned. Zhou Xuan certainly wouldn't say it now either. Fu Ying was afraid that he would blurt it out, so she gave him a wink, then pulled him upstairs, saying to the people in the living room as they walked, "Mom, I have something to say to Zhou Xuan!"
Jin Xiumei smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead!" It's a good thing that her son and daughter-in-law are close. Besides, the wedding is coming up soon, so it's normal for them to be a little intimate.
Fu Ying certainly hadn't thought of that. If she had known that Jin Xiumei was thinking this way, she wouldn't have had such a natural expression.
Once they reached their room upstairs, Fu Yingcai quietly said, "Zhou Xuan, Mom doesn't know. We didn't mention it when we came back. I think it's best not to say anything. Anyway, it's not a big deal, so let it go. It'll save the family from worrying!"
Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "I know. You can tell just by looking at her. I'm not stupid. My mom can't keep anything to herself. If she knew about this, she would definitely ask me when I came back. But look, when I came back, my mom didn't ask anything, and I already knew."
Fu Ying patted her chest in relief and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have been so worried. I was afraid you would tell me when you came back, and I was worried the whole time!"
Zhou Shi pulled Fu Ying over and kissed her on the cheek, laughing, "Now you don't have to worry anymore. My mom's expression definitely makes her think you missed me, so as soon as I got back, you dragged me upstairs for some affection!"
Fu Ying blushed instantly and quickly pushed him towards the door, saying urgently, "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go downstairs, you're really something..."
She had indeed intended to be affectionate with Zhou Xuan, but after Zhou Xuan said that, how could she stop blushing? And when she thought of Jin Xiumei's ambiguous expression just now, she couldn't suppress it at all!
The two of them, one laughing and the other blushing, went downstairs to the hall. Jin Xiumei noticed Fu Ying's flushed face and was a little puzzled. What could she have done in such a short time? Why would she be so embarrassed if nothing had happened?
Li Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie, Brother Zhi, Zhou Ying said she's a little hungry and wants to eat bird's nest porridge. I... I'll take her out. There's a very famous shop on the front street!" Jin Xiumei smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead, young people should go out more."
However, Zhou Ying seemed a little confused. Before she could speak, Li Wei grabbed her and pulled her outside. This action made Zhou Xuan, Fu Ying, and Jin Xiumei all a little strange.
Jin Xiumei was even more surprised and asked Zhou Xuan, "Son, why aren't you going with us? Are only Li Wei and Zhou Ying going? I find it strange. Isn't Li Wei always by your side? Why has he changed his mind today?"
Zhou Shi also felt something was strange, but because of what happened today, he didn't think too much about it, thinking that maybe Li Wei was taking his sister out for a walk to clear her mind.
Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on her, Fu Ying's shyness subsided, and she thought for a moment before saying, "Zhou Xuan... could it be that Li Wei has taken a liking to my sister?" Zhou Xuan and Jin Xiumei were both taken aback; Fu Ying's words were too unexpected.
Zhou Shi immediately said, "No, impossible. Li Wei could never like Zhou Ying. Yingying, you're thinking nonsense!"
Fu Ying snorted and said, "Hmph, what do you know? How do you know Li Wei won't like my sister? My sister is beautiful, gentle, kind-hearted, and pure-hearted. Any man would like her!"
Zhou Xuan said awkwardly, "I'm not saying my sister is bad. Of course she's good. In my heart, she's the treasure of our family. But it's unlikely that she'll be with Li Wei. Li Wei is a playboy. He's a good person, but he's a womanizer. Besides, our family and their family are of vastly different social standing. It's impossible, impossible!"
"You're such a pig-headed idiot!" Fu Ying pointed at Zhou Xuan's forehead and said, "You're always so narrow-minded. Don't you ever think about what your place is in the Emperor's heart? If Li Wei really wanted to be with Zhou Ying, the entire Li family would be happy. Don't you know how good Deputy Commander Li is to you right now?"
Fu Ying then snorted, "Besides, how do you know Li Wei isn't a good person? In his kind of family, it's not surprising that he has some temper traits that you don't like. After knowing him for so long, don't you understand what kind of person Li Wei is? If you want to talk about it, humph, aren't I a spoiled young lady too? How come you find me pleasing? Or are you just pretending!" "No, no, no, I'm not pretending!" Zhou Xuan immediately denied it. This time, his mind worked quickly. But to be fair, what Fu Ying said did make some sense.
Jin Xiumei pondered. Li was not a bad person, and the young man was good-looking, but according to Zhou Xuan, his family were high-ranking officials in the capital. Why would they look down on their commoner family?
