After Dong Chao and Yang Xuefeng left the fortune-telling shop, they immediately went home and asked their wives to find the necklace, saying that they would go to the police station to report the case.
Dong's wife was very puzzled.
"Didn't you pick it up? Why are you reporting it? You've just spent a lot of money on your medical treatment. I think you can make some money back by selling this necklace."
Dong Chao was too embarrassed to explain and felt a little annoyed.
"I told you to find it, so I did. The necklace isn't that simple. Give it to me quickly!"
Dong’s wife had no choice, but seeing that both of them looked very serious, she could only reluctantly take out the necklace.
Afterwards, the three of them went to the police station together. Dong Chao told his wife everything that happened at the river a month ago, and finally asked her to take out the necklace.
"I was blinded by the lard at the time. I took it off the woman's body, but after taking it off, I couldn't eat or sleep well all day. I always felt guilty, so I decided to report it to the police."
Dong Chao didn't dare say that he was tortured to the point of having to report the case, for fear that the police would think he was mentally ill.
When the police officer who received the message heard this, he quickly called someone from the relevant department. After confirming that Dong Chao was not lying, he began to investigate with half belief and half doubt.
After inspection, the necklace weighed 63 grams and might have been customized. There was not only the logo of the gold brand on the necklace, but also three letters.

However, because no body was found, only two young police officers conducted the preliminary investigation of the case. They found the store based on the brand of gold.
Coincidentally, this store has always had the habit of saving customer information. Because they didn't know the specific name, the jewelry store quickly screened out a qualified buyer based on the style and weight of the necklace.
The buyer is named Pang Leqing, 36 years old, and a native of Qingping.
With the other party's phone number and name, the police quickly identified the victim.
It turns out that Pang Yueqing's family also reported her missing more than half a month ago. There has been no clues during this period. Now that the clues from both sides are combined, it is basically certain that she has been murdered.
When Dong Chao learned that the identity of the female corpse had finally been confirmed, he burst into tears with excitement. He was really blinded by greed. If he had handed over the necklace at that time, maybe the murderer would have been caught by now. He was really asking for trouble.
He finally met his family members at the police station.
Only then did Dong Chao tell Pang Yueqing what had happened. He wanted to know Pang Yueqing's birth date and horoscope to use in finding her body.
It’s hard to say what a fuss the other family members made when they found out that Dong Chao pushed the body back into the river for a gold necklace, but after that, they decided to give it their all and revealed Dong Chao’s birth date and horoscope.
So the group came to the fortune-telling shop again.
There were Dong Chao and his wife, Yang Xuefeng, other family members, and police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, Wei Mian remained calm and asked, "Did you bring your birth date?"
"I brought it."
Dong Chao hurriedly handed over the paper with Pang Yueqing's birth date and horoscope written on it.
After seeing the above content, she immediately started to calculate, and even used a compass for fear that it was not specific enough.
The answer came within a few minutes, and then an electronic map of the area near the river was called up.
"Go about two kilometers down from where you encountered the body that day. Look for a branch of the river around the bridge. It might be a very small one. You should find it no more than fifty meters down the branch."
The two policemen looked at each other. No matter what the people in front of them were thinking, everything would have to wait until the body was found.
Following the instructions given by Wei Mian, they soon arrived at the place where Dong Chao saw the body that day. There was indeed a bridge two kilometers downstream along the river.
But when it came to the river branch near the bridge, they searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
Dong Chao was extremely anxious. He was still sitting in a wheelchair at the time and could not go down to the river himself. He could only wait anxiously by the roadside.
He didn't dare to sit idle, and kept straining his neck to look down. When he heard that they hadn't found any branches, he couldn't help but become even more anxious.
If it weren't for his cold and stiff limbs holding him back, he would definitely go down and look for it himself.
Dong Chao could only try his best to open his eyes wide and take advantage of his high vantage point to look over inch by inch.
Suddenly, he felt a reflective spot somewhere hidden among the branches by the river, and he quickly looked towards that direction.
After confirming it again and again, Dong Chao couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"Xuefeng!! Quick, over there, there's water over there!"
The shout startled the people who were looking for branches on the river bank. Yang Xuefeng hurriedly followed the direction of his finger and looked behind the bushes on the river bank. Sure enough, he found a small river less than half a meter wide.
Or call it a creek.
Moreover, there were uneven rocks where the stream met the river, which were completely blocked by branches and rocks, so the few people didn't even look at this side.
Yang Xuefeng and one of the young policemen walked down the stream. After about twenty meters, they saw a rose-red figure.
The two of them took a few quick steps and soon arrived in front of the figure.
At this time, half of the female corpse was soaked in water, and the other half was exposed above the water. Even in the middle of winter, the smell emitted by the corpse could be smelled from a few steps away.
Only after confirming that he had seen the body did Yang Xuefeng breathe a sigh of relief. Dong Chao was finally saved.
Once the body is found, everything else is simple.
After confirming that Wei Mian and others had no connection with Pang Yueqing, the police began investigating her interpersonal relationships. After investigation, they quickly identified the suspect.
The investigation around the suspect was much easier. They not only found the murder weapon, but also Pang Yueqing's severed limbs.
It turned out that the murderer was Pang Leqing's ex-husband. He held a grudge against her because of their divorce. Seeing that Pang Leqing had recently started to see a new man, his hatred for her deepened. So one night more than a month ago, he tricked her out under the pretext that her child was sick.
Then they knocked the person unconscious, chopped off his limbs while he was still alive, pushed him into the river to drown him and then dumped the body.
Ever since Pang Yueqing's body was found, Dong Chao's condition has been improving day by day, and he has gradually regained sensation in his hands and feet.
Feeling the pain from his fingertips, Dong Chao shed tears of excitement. He really learned his lesson this time and would never dare to take advantage of anyone again.
He spent more than 40,000 yuan on medical treatment, plus the 20,000 yuan given by the master. This time of taking advantage of the doctor caused his direct economic loss to reach 60,000 yuan.
This is not counting the mental torture he has suffered during this period of time!
I remembered what he had said before, that once the case of the female corpse was solved, he would pay for a funeral ceremony for her, and this money had not yet been included.
Thinking of this, Dong Chao couldn't help but slump his shoulders again and swear to his wife that if he took advantage of her again, he would eat shit while standing upside down!
