The excavation site is in full swing.

With Raymond watching Dave, Luke felt relieved and went over to watch the fun.

This place is too far from the city, so there is no way to use an excavator, so the police have to take turns digging with shovels.

Little Black Marcus went down and dug for a while.

When the dig was half a meter deep, Little Black Marcus threw the shovel aside and jumped up, "I'm exhausted. I'm really not good at this. What do you think Tony buried down there?"

The deputy team member did not hesitate, "The corpse. Tony comes here every year, most likely to repent and pay homage. Of course, it is also possible that he is filling the soil regularly to prevent the corpse from being exposed."

Luke smiled and said, "Maybe it's some treasures."

Marcus became interested, "Isn't that oil painting by the Impressionist master never found? Could it have been hidden by Tony? It might be down there."

The deputy team member was a little speechless, "Marcus, think about it before you speak. Can oil paintings be buried underground and preserved? Only fools would do that."

"Of course ordinary soil won't work. This is the Gobi Desert and it's dry enough. If it's placed in a sealed box, it might be preserved well." Marcus argued.

"Come on, there are so many ifs. Tony's life is not very good. If he had that oil painting, he would have sold it long ago. I guess the oil painting is still in Lawn's hands."

The two argued for a while, but neither could convince the other.

"Clang." There were two sounds of metal colliding.

One of the police officers digging shouted, "We've dug it, there's something underneath."

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

To avoid damaging items, mining speed has been slowed down.

There is a hard object below, which is not small in size and has a flat surface. As the surrounding soil is dug out, the outline of the object is gradually revealed.

It was a rotten old car. From the mottled rust, you could vaguely tell it was a red car.

The license plate was rotten and the number could not be read clearly.

Marcus’ face was full of questions, “What the hell! Did you dig out a classic car?”

The body of the car has rotted away, and the excavation work is progressing slowly. However, the overall style of the car can be roughly seen.

The deputy team member touched his chin and said, "This model...should be the first generation Ford Focus."

Susan also experienced that era, but she didn’t understand cars. “When did the car come from?”

"I can't remember exactly when it was launched, but it was at least twenty years ago."

Luke searched on his mobile phone and found information about the first-generation Ford Focus, "It was launched in 1998 and has the same style as this car."

Marcus muttered, "The car is from 24 years ago, and it's only a few years younger than me."

The on-site investigation team had already taken over the scene. Mary went down into the pit wearing protective gear and looked through the car window, "Please ask Sheila Forensic Doctor to come over. There are two skeletons in the car."

The deputy team looked at the red Ford Focus and fell into deep thought. This case...

There is a feeling of déjà vu.

After more than an hour of fussing, the car was freed from the pit. Luke walked closer to observe the car. The interior was rotten, and there were two bones in the back seat, one large and one small. They must have been dead for many years.

Later, the car and the body were brought back to the police station for examination.

…

After returning to the police station, the deputy team and Matthew got together and were studying something.

Luke and others are also preparing to investigate new cases.

First, take notes on Dave again and ask him if he knows more about the red car and the bones.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the deputy team shouted, "Hey, everyone, stop for a moment and come to the conference room. I have something to say."

Although I didn't know what the old man was selling, he still had some face, and everyone followed him in.

Susan asked, "Deputy team, what clues did you find?"

The deputy team seemed a little excited, "We are likely to solve an unsolved case from twenty years ago!"

Marcus said, "Even if this car was launched in 1998, it does not mean that it was buried underground 20 years ago. It may have been buried in recent years."

"Boy, don't interrupt me." The deputy captain was a little dissatisfied and continued,

"I always felt that this case seemed a bit familiar. Later, I asked Matthew to help me check the information, and I basically confirmed that it was a disappearance case from 20 years ago, the "Disappearance of Tyerson Manor".

In a manor in the city of Heim, a mother and two children disappeared without a trace overnight.

This case was initially investigated by the Los Angeles County Police Department. Due to various reasons, they did not take the case seriously, thinking that they just ran away from home and missed the best opportunity to investigate.

Later, the victim was never found, and the victim's husband made the matter a big deal, and the case attracted attention.

The FBI took over the case, and after their investigation, they speculated that the victim may have traveled to Los Angeles after leaving the manor.

The Los Angeles Police Department is also involved in the investigation.

But it was too late, no more clues could be found, and the victim's body was not found, making it an unsolved case.

The bones we dug up today are probably the mother and one of her children."

Susan asked, "Are there any other similarities between the two cases?"

"Of course, there are many similarities." The deputy team leader took a sip of coffee and moistened his throat.

"First of all, the victim of the 'Tilson Manor disappearance case also had a red Ford Focus at his home, and then that car also disappeared.

There is a fugitive suspect in the Tyerson Manor disappearance case named Cole Davis."

The deputy team took out a sketch and a photo, "This sketch was drawn by Tim, and the person in the sketch is Cole Baker, Tony's murderer.

And this photo is a photo of Cole Davis, a suspect in the "Tellson Manor", 20 years ago.

After removing the traces of time, do you think this sketch is similar to the person in the photo?"

Marcus picked up the photo and compared it carefully with the sketch, "Yeah, they really look alike, they are both ugly."

The deputy team ignored Marcus's nonsense and continued, "In addition, the most important point is that in the case of the disappearance of Tyerson Manor, not only a family of three disappeared, but also a large amount of property, cash, jewelry, and paintings were lost, including a

Impressionist master Schilder Hassen's work 'Snowy Night'.

And Tony was killed and Lawn was attacked, also because of a work by the impressionist master Schilder Hassen."

After the deputy team member finished speaking, the conference room was quiet and everyone was deep in thought.

Luke also connected Tony, Lawn, and Cole to the excavated car.

Continue the analysis according to the deputy team's guess.

Tony, Lawn, and Cole are likely to be the suspects in the "Tellson Manor Disappearance Case" twenty years ago.

The three of them robbed the 'Tailson Manor', killed the mother and son, and robbed the property of the 'Tailson Manor'.

Lawn used the money to make a fortune.

Tony often came to the burial site to pay homage out of guilt.

Cole became a suspect, but did not get the precious oil painting. He felt that the spoils were unevenly distributed and felt unbalanced. He turned to retaliate against Tony and Lawn and wanted to take away the oil painting worth tens of millions of dollars.

The deputy smiled and said, "Although the test results have not come out yet, judging from the above clues, Tony, Cole, and Lawn are definitely related to the 'Telson Manor Disappearance Case'.

In addition, there is one more thing I want to tell you.

The reward for that painting is two hundred thousand dollars, and if the police find the painting, they can also get that reward.
