Around the conference table, the members of the major crime unit sat in a row, with relaxed expressions on their faces, chatting and laughing.
For detectives, sometimes solving a case can feel like heaven one moment and hell the next.
One second, everyone was rushing around like headless chickens, unable to find any leads or make sense of the case, feeling like solving it was a long way off.
But the next second, you might get a phone call telling you the suspect has been caught.
The Wang Family River body-dumping case gave everyone this kind of feeling.
Even before the large-scale suspect screening began, the major crime unit had already preliminarily identified a suspect based on behavioral characteristics, victim background and work characteristics, and other information. It was very likely that the suspect lived on Northern Avenue and had once lived on Nanshan Road.
Even so, there are more than 30,000 permanent residents living on Northern Avenue.
