On 17 February 1996, the criminal investigation team received a report from the Tangshan Town Police Station: Gu Wangyue, the 16-year-old daughter of Gu Lirao, head of Guli Village, Tangshan Town, drowned while washing clothes in Gujia's Datang. Ten years ago, two children of the Gu family, a man and a woman, drowned, and the only difference was that the first two children drowned in the summer, one in the summer of 1984 and the other in the summer of 1986. This time, the time when Komochizuki drowned was in winter. The couple felt that the death of the three children was a little strange, although the ancient family Datang had drowned several children before, but Gu Li Rao always felt that the two drowning cases were specifically aimed at his family, so he chose to report the case, Gu Li Rao and his wife also had two daughters, one was fourteen years old and one was twelve years old, and they were worried that the following two children could meet with accidents at any time. Ten years ago, after the second child drowned, the Gu family was also quite surprised, but there was no evidence, so they kept it in their hearts, and passed ten years in fear, thinking that the bad luck had passed, but they didn't expect the tragedy to happen again.

On the afternoon of 27 February, Ouyang Ping sent Liu Dayu, Chen Jie, Han Lingling, and Dong Qingqing in civilian clothes to Guli Rao's house in Guli Village, Tangshan Town, to investigate whether a case had been filed. A decision will be made after the investigation visit. By the way, Dong Qingqing has just been transferred from the criminal investigation team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, and she is very good at computers, and the criminal investigation team urgently needs talents in this area, so Director Feng specially poached Dong Qingqing from the criminal investigation team of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

Tangshan Town is located in a hilly area, there are many mountains and hot springs, the mountains are not high, most of the mountains have no names, but the hot springs are very famous.

Guli Village is located in the south of Tangshan Town, it is surrounded by mountains on the east, south and west, and borders the Guli River in the north. It is located in a mountain col of six or seven square kilometers with a relatively open view.

There are two roads to enter Guli Village, one is a waterway to take the ferry, and the other is a mountain road, and you can take the Dongshan Panshan Road. If you take the mountain road, you have to go around a big circle, the mountain road is very rugged, the car walks slowly and hard, if you take the ferry, you cross the river, and you will be in Guli Village.

Liu Dayu and his entourage chose to take the ferry, and they wanted to do some research along the way.

At a quarter past two o'clock in the afternoon, the car passed through a small market town that was not very lively, and came to the ferry.

The name of the small market town is Liujiabao.

The car passed through the crooked and narrow streets of Liujiapu, and suddenly became open in front of them, and soon, everyone saw a large river in front of them.

As soon as the car stopped, two people ran over, these two people were Lu Changgeng, the director of the Tangshan Town Police Station, and Zhao Datong, a police officer. They said they would be waiting for everyone at the Guli Ferry. Zhao Datong is a household registration policeman in Guli Village, and he knows more about the situation in Guli Village, so the director of the road called him.

Lu Changgeng is about forty-five years old and is about 1.70 meters tall; Zhao Datong is about 30 years old and is about 1.73 meters tall.

The name of the river is Guli River, and Guli Village and Guli Ferry are based on the name of the river.

Standing on the bank of the river, looking at the south of the river, you will see the dense woods and the black roofs looming in the dense forest.

Lu Changgeng said that Guli Village is the largest village in Tangshan Town, with more than 700 households in the entire village.
