Ten o'clock in the evening!
In the village, this is the time when all the lights in every house are turned off and everyone falls asleep.
However, Guojiadian is quite lively today.
Not only did the number of villagers around the land temple not decrease, but the number of people coming to watch the fun increased.
Many people are eager to watch the fun and are willing to stay here to see the results even if it means staying up all night.
Everyone wanted to see what would happen to these investigators if they didn't find the body under the land temple.
Huff huff huff
Excavation of the base underneath the land temple also began.
Under the guidance of the trace detection team, the police officers were more careful.
Many police officers also became visibly nervous.
After digging layer by layer, no trace of the body was found.
In particular, when they were halfway through the digging, the police officers began to have doubts.
Although the base is quite large, normally, if a body is buried there, there will be arms or some protruding parts exposed at this position.
But now, there is no sign of a corpse.
Not good!
Many police officers glanced at Shen Ting who was "supervising" nearby.
Seeing that his expression remained firm, everyone relaxed.
I think, since it is the place designated by Shen Ting, it is unlikely that nothing will be found.
The police officers started digging again!
However, the more they dug, the more disappointed they became.
Because as the height of the remaining base gets lower and lower, it is no longer enough to completely bury a body.
Finally, when there was about ten centimeters left, the police officers stopped.
Because there is no need to dig any further.
The surrounding villagers also noticed something was wrong and started arguing again:
"There's no body!"
"Sure enough, there's no body."
"I knew we wouldn't find the body."
"That's right. How could someone be so wicked as to hide a corpse in a land temple? Aren't they afraid of retribution?"
"So what should we do now?"
"Exactly, for no reason, they dug up the land temple we built with great difficulty and turned it into such a mess.
Today, if you can't make sense, don't even think about leaving."
"Hey, didn't you say you can beat up the leader?
Can we start now?"
Some villagers were aggressive, while others rolled up their sleeves and acted aggressively.
Xiong Beibei threw the digging tools aside, quietly moved closer to Shen Ting, nudged his arm, and said happily:
"Detective Shen, don't be afraid!
If there is any chaos later, remember to follow me.
I promise to protect you and make sure you get beaten to death, hehehe!"
Shen Ting glanced at him speechlessly and pushed him to the platform:
"Stop talking nonsense and keep digging!"
Xiong Beibei and the police officers were all stunned for a moment:
"There's no need to dig any further!"
"yes!
There's only such a thin layer of cement left, it can't even cover a human head, how could it possibly cover an entire human body?"
Shen Ting shook his head:
“I never said the body must be in this pedestal?
Isn’t there a foundation and a layer of soil underneath the base?
Keep digging!"
The police officers looked at each other and saw the surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.
Team Leader Shen, it seems that he never said that the body was in the pedestal.
When everyone saw the cement and brick base, they subconsciously thought that the body might be hidden inside.
At that time, Team Leader Shen had not arrived yet, and everyone discussed with each other and agreed that:
The base is very suitable for hiding corpses in terms of size and structure.
He is the main suspect!
"Did we take it for granted?"
“It’s possible!”
"Just listen to Team Leader Shen and keep digging!"
The police officers started digging again.
The noisy villagers around looked at the police officers' actions in confusion.
Is this not finished yet?
Want to keep digging?
Could the body be further down?
The last layer of cement on the base was quickly dug away, revealing the yellow mud underneath and the stone foundation on the edge.
After a brief inspection of the traces, the police officers were instructed to continue digging downwards.
Everyone thought that it would take a long time to dig the foundation.
But when a police officer dug down a little with a small hoe, his expression was stunned.
The feeling from the hoe was obviously wrong.
It is not like the resistance encountered when digging into fine sand and gravel.
It doesn't feel as hard as if it hits a big rock.
The end of the hoe did hit something hard, but the texture was not stone. It felt like a collision but was slightly soft.
It's like a corpse wrapped in flesh and skin!
The police officer was shocked.
Really found it?
Is the body really hidden here?
He quickly dug out the soil under the hoe. After two quick digs, a bunch of brown, slightly curly female hair mixed with yellow sand appeared in the police officer's sight.
The key is!
The police officer clearly remembered that Zhou Xiaoxiao's hairstyle when she disappeared was long curly hair dyed brown!
The police officer's blood rushed to his head and he was almost pulled up by this force.
He looked at Shen Ting who was not far away and excitedly raised his hand to report:
"Team Leader Shen, I have discovered something..."
