Soon after, the doors of other police cars opened one after another, and several policemen in uniform came out one after another, and they surrounded the entire house of the nail household in a well-trained manner.

Ji Shuyun strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with his sister. His cold gaze swept over the stunned Li Wenjie and his group, finally landing on Director Zhang. His voice was steady and powerful:

"Hello, Ji Shuyun from the Criminal Investigation Team of Jiangcheng General Bureau."

Ji Shuyun showed the investigation documents: "We now suspect this place is related to a major criminal case. We need to immediately seal off the scene and conduct an investigation."

"Demolition work, please cooperate and suspend immediately."

Li Wenjie and the others who were so arrogant just now seemed to have lost their souls in an instant, and their faces turned as pale as paper.

Li Wenjie opened his mouth, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost: "Serious, serious criminal case?"

The entire demolition team was noisy and arrogant just now, but was instantly suppressed by the sirens.

Director Zhang was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that demolition would result in loss of life.

He shook hands solemnly with Ji Shuyun, then turned to Xia Zhining, his tone filled with disbelief and astonishment: "Xiao Xia Zhizhi, this... what on earth is going on?"

Xia Zhining gently tapped the little head of Xuetuan in her arms and explained solemnly, "Our little animal detective smelled the distinctive odor of a decaying human corpse near the cement wall of this family's house."

She paused, her tone apologetic but firm: "The police weren't here just now, so I can't disclose the details without alerting them. I hope you understand."

When Director Zhang heard the shocking news that there was a corpse in the wall, his body trembled violently! After the shock, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

If there really was a body inside the wall, wouldn't the house be demolished immediately according to the law?

He had never dreamed that a turning point in resolving the nail house issue would come in this way. Suppressing his inner shock, he quickly turned around and waved to the demolition team, "Quick! Everyone, evacuate the scene first! Xiao Xia Zhizhi, Officer Ji, I leave this place entirely to you!"

"We will definitely cooperate fully!"

Li Wenjie and his younger brothers standing by were already frightened out in cold sweats, their faces as pale as paper.

There's a body sealed in the concrete wall, but the owner refuses to allow it to be demolished...

Doesn't this mean that the homeowner knew everything about the body and is even very likely the murderer?!

Thinking that they had actually been negotiating with a murderer all this time, they were so frightened that their legs went weak, their teeth chattered, and they couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

They rolled and crawled to hide far away, not daring to get even a step closer to the eerie house.

Ji Shuyun took out a chocolate bar from his pocket and handed it to Xia Zhining: "Ningning, replenish your energy first. Let's go back to the car, it's safe there."

He paused, his eyes sweeping over her slightly tired face, and then softened his voice and added, "I also brought you clay pot rice and hot soup in the passenger seat. They're all your favorites, so eat them while they're hot."

Xia Zhining took the chocolate and nodded obediently. When Ji Shuyun turned to face the other police officers, his eyes instantly changed from gentle to sharp.

He made a quick gesture and spoke in a steady and powerful voice:

"Team One, follow me in the assault, break down the door and apprehend the suspect! Team Two, maintain perimeter security and ensure absolute control of the scene!"

At this tense moment, a timid little black cat emerged from the shadows, gently rubbed Xia Zhining's trouser leg, and meowed softly.

[Sister,] the little black cat raised his head, [The Tabby King asked me to tell you something!]

It lowered its voice, like a professional spy: [That bad man is escaping to the basement on the south side of the house! There is a secret passage in the basement that they recently dug themselves, which leads to the outside! The exit is at——]

The little black cat raised its paw and pointed precisely in the southeast direction of the demolition site: "Go that way! We little kitties will lead the way for you!"
