Chapter 1015 The Returnee's Notes 89
Xie Ning pressed down on the trembling umbrella and tied it with a red thread, as if the kid was very excited to see the police.
Just then, the police officers arrived in front of them. "Madam, what are you doing here?"
Normally, the police wouldn't suspect anything, but they had just received a report that the previously missing child seemed to have appeared here, and it was highly likely that the child was a corpse.
"This is our first time in Huixian. We just arrived today, and we thought the scenery here was nice, so we wanted to take some photos." Ouyang Lin waved her phone. This was by the river, and with the moonlight and the buildings on the opposite bank as a backdrop, it was indeed a beautiful place to take pictures.
Moreover, Ouyang Lin explained in her first sentence that this was her and Xie Ning's first time visiting Huixian, so they could basically be ruled out as suspects.
Naturally, routine inquiries are also necessary.
However, they need to search this area first.
Xiao Qin, who had come along, took a deep breath and walked towards the place where she had encountered the corpse, but there was no corpse in that bush.
"Perhaps you've misremembered."
The police did not give up the search just because there was nothing at the location Xiaoqin pointed out. Instead, they split up with the other two and began searching in two groups. The river was very long, and if they continued searching like this, it would probably take at least several hours.
But they dared not let their guard down, after all, what if something happened?
Xiaoqin may have misremembered the location due to excessive fright.
If the child is truly dead and his body is here, and they give up the search now and wait until daytime, perhaps the murderer will notice the commotion and move the body.
After questioning Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning, the policewoman's gaze fell on the river. The white moonlight was cold, and she wondered if there really was a body that had been thrown into the river.
Ouyang Lin was calculating the location with her back to everyone. Xiao Qin, who was standing to the side, was suspicious. She thought that Ouyang Lin had heard her call to the police in the store and that's why she came here.
Even though Ouyang Lin made an excuse, it was still too suspicious.
But seeing Xie Ning, who was clearly still a young girl, Xiao Qin fell into self-doubt again. If she was the murderer, she wouldn't have brought a child to see the body, would she?
Xiao Qin's expression changed several times, and then she heard Ouyang Lin and the policewoman say, "Can we leave now?"
They didn't do anything wrong, so the police couldn't detain them. However, they still took down their contact information for summons, and Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning's identities were recorded. With their cooperation, the policewoman's suspicions were somewhat dispelled.
After walking some distance, Xie Ning asked, "Have you calculated the location of the body?"
"Yes, it's in that area. They should be able to find it in another twenty minutes or so." That's why she didn't say anything to remind them, lest she say something wrong.
However, her complexion was still not good, because her calculations were inaccurate. She had encountered this situation twice before. The first time was when she was asked by a colleague to help her calculate the location of the victim's body. That time, it was an extremely heinous dismemberment case.
And then came this time.
"So, are we just sending this kid away?"
"Let's leave it for now and talk about it after we finish this case." Police investigations also take time. If they can successfully solve this case, they can eliminate the little ghost's obsession and send it away, instead of using other means to get rid of it.
If the police can't find the murderer, she might be able to secretly help them out.
Xie Ning agreed, saying there were two ways to eliminate the ghost's obsession: one was to bring the murderer to justice, and the other was to have the ghost's family persuade it; otherwise, they would have to forcibly send it away.
Don't let this little ghost's docile appearance fool you; it died unjustly and carries a heavy resentment. If it's not dispelled, it will be difficult to send it away.
Twenty minutes after Ouyang Lin and Xie Ning left, an old policeman discovered a black garbage bag in the bushes near the western river, next to which was a denim jacket stained with blood.
