Chapter 1016 The Returnee's Notes 90
The closer the group got, the stronger the stench of the corpse became. The western river was remote, far from residential areas, with only a road alongside it for vehicles to pass by.
Therefore, it is difficult to detect.
Xiaoqin came to this area because her mother had back pain, and since the area was lush with plants, she came here to find some herbs. After all, she had some folk remedies at home that could cure her mother's back pain, so she could avoid going to the hospital and spending hundreds or thousands of yuan.
The garbage bag didn't contain a complete body; it only contained a head and an arm.
This was a very rudimentary method of disposing of a body, but it was precisely because it was rudimentary that it was even more difficult to investigate. As grassroots police officers, they did not have such strong investigative capabilities. The senior officers notified the police station to send a forensic doctor, and then they began to consider the issue of reporting the case.
This is clearly an extremely gruesome dismemberment case. They cannot currently discern the child's face, so testing is required to confirm whether the remains belong to the missing child.
The policewoman glanced at the disfigured body. "How did you know this body was that missing child?"
This question was directed at Xiaoqin, but Xiaoqin herself was also confused. Could she say that what she saw was not like that?
She could still make out the features of the head she saw, but the child had a large hole in its forehead. Xiao Qin struggled between lying and telling the truth, "I... I didn't see that..."
She still can't lie. After all, the only lie she ever told since she was a child was giving the chicken leg to a stray dog and then pretending that she ate it herself.
In the end, of course, she was discovered because she blushed whenever she lied and dared not look people in the eye.
This time, even though she was telling the truth, no one believed her because she herself couldn't believe it. She... might have encountered a ghost.
Even if no one accepts Xiao Qin's absurd explanation, there is no other explanation that can be made, unless Xiao Qin is the murderer.
Of course, these suspicions cannot be spoken aloud.
Just as the case was being reported up the chain of command and a special criminal investigation team was being dispatched to investigate, Xie Ning also met with the client.
The client was a student at the college. He posted for help online, and someone pointed him in the right direction, which led him to Ouyang Lin.
However, besides him, his classmates who played Ouija board with him also came to meet him, because everyone had been having bad luck to some extent recently, and the client, Xiao Fang, was the most unlucky.
They're the kind of people who can trip and fall even when walking on flat ground.
Ouyang Lin carefully observed the five college students, three men and two women. They all liked watching supernatural movies, and they were also brave and playful. Every time they saw a new method, they wanted to try it out, finding it very exciting.
Nothing had happened before, but this time, Xiao Fang fell down the stairs and broke his ribs. Combined with the group's misfortunes, they panicked.
It's daytime now, and this place is by the window, where the summer sun is warm and comforting, so the ghost naturally won't come out. Therefore, Ouyang Lin suggested going to that abandoned building again.
It is best to successfully summon the spirit during the day in a shaded place, as the risk is lower.
Ouyang Lin glanced at the college students, who were somewhat flustered and scared, but whose eyes still held a lingering excitement. She fell silent. Even they rarely summoned spirits, but these kids were even more excited after learning that ghosts really existed.
"Little sister, why are you wearing a mask all the time? Doesn't it feel stuffy?" In this sweltering heat, she was already sweating profusely in short sleeves and shorts and felt incredibly stuffy, but Xie Ning was still wearing a mask.
Xie Ning shook her head. She now had both science and metaphysics in one hand, so it was best to keep one of her identities hidden.
The place they were going to was supposed to be near the school, but it was actually a ten-minute drive away. It used to be a commercial street, but it was abandoned after some relocations. However, there are still people living nearby.
It was mostly elderly people there. When the group got off the bus, they could see a few elderly people sitting downstairs enjoying the cool air. "The place is upstairs."
Seeing that the group was about to go upstairs, the old man who was fanning himself with a palm leaf fan shouted, "You kids! Where are you going?"
