After extensive investigation, the police found that after Liu Ying had that argument with her family, no one had seen her again, nor had they seen her come out.

Surely she couldn't have been hiding at home all along, could she?

But the Liu family's house is only so big. When they went there last time, they could see the whole thing at a glance. It didn't look like a place where people could hide.

So where did she go?

After that, they went to ask the Liu family several more times, including Liu Tianxiong and the children who were missing last time, but they knew nothing about it either.

They only said that the person was gone when they woke up the next morning after an argument, and that they must have left under cover of night, since no one was outside at night and that's why no one saw them.

As for the reason for their argument that day, they explained that Liu Ying wanted to get her mother's job back, but Hu Feng had been working there for so many years and had kept her promise to raise her and send her to school, so she disagreed.

Because of this, they had a fierce argument. Later, after she disappeared, the Liu family also searched for her, but they couldn't find her.

At this point, the Xu family brought over the letter, and they learned that she had eloped.

Everything seemed reasonable, but everyone felt that things couldn't be that simple.

Putting aside whether there was anyone who could make her elope, based on what they had learned about Liu Ying from others over the past few days, they knew she didn't seem like the type to do such a thing.

Besides, even if she didn't have a job, she was about to marry into the Xu family and finally make it in the world, so how could she possibly elope?

But all of this is just their speculation; they still can't find any evidence.

They had even looked into the human trafficking aspect, but it involved many things, and they couldn't find anything about it in a short time.

As a result, the case has hit another bottleneck.

Seeing that the Liu and Xu families had already started discussing marriage, except that the bride had been changed to Liu Zhen, Xu Feng seemed quite satisfied with Liu Zhen, and Liu Zhen didn't seem to be forcing him.

Su He also looked into Liu Zhen's previous boyfriend. He was a petty hoodlum, but because he was the only son in his family, he didn't have to go to the countryside. He was no match for Xu Feng.

Liu Zhen hadn't been with him for long, and she probably only sought him out to avoid being sent to the countryside. Now that she had someone better, she kicked that man to the curb.

Seeing how happy she was about to get married, Su He felt a pang of sadness.

All of this originally belonged to Liu Ying, so where did she go?

That day after work, on her way home, Su He thought about this while riding her bicycle.

As we passed a small grove of trees, we suddenly smelled a foul odor, like something rotting.

I immediately covered my nose, thinking that the stray cat or dog must have died. Ugh, it smells awful. No wonder Dahei told me last time that someone buried something here.

In this run-down place, it would be perfectly safe to hide things; I doubt anyone would have thought of it.

Su He hadn't taken the matter seriously at first, but the next day at work, someone came to report it.

The person who reported the crime actually found a corpse in that grove of trees!

Su He was immediately shocked upon hearing this!

What? Could it be that the smell yesterday wasn't the smell of cat or dog corpses she thought it was, but the smell of a rotting human corpse?

“I’m a sanitation worker in that area. The grove area used to be fine, but these past few days some people have complained that it smells terrible and asked me to clean it up.”

I initially thought some stray cat or dog had died there, but when I went over, I found a body buried in the ground. It looked like a stray dog ​​had dug it up; I couldn't see the body anymore, only a hand bone!

The worker was vomiting as he spoke, his face pale, clearly frightened.
