Chapter 133 Horrifying
Zhao Jingxiang came for half an hour this morning and was still thinking about new ideas for new pastry products on her way to work.
She was holding a fried dough stick and rice cake in her hand and eating while thinking, the weather is normal today.
I walked to the grove involuntarily. Just after I finished eating the fried dough sticks and rice cakes, I saw Xiao Li from the Security Department squatting beside the pit, pinching the neck of a kitten.
He frowned and walked over to ask, "What's wrong with the kitten?"
Just now, when Xiao Li lowered his head, he saw that the cat was still biting a white bone in its mouth. He was about to grab Xiao Lihua's thin neck to make it put down the thing in its mouth.
I heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Zhao Jingxiang coming over with a concerned look on her face.
The young man blushed immediately and stammered, "Uh... I saw a bone in this little kitten's mouth and wanted to... make it spit it out."
"Do you want my help?"
Zhao Jingxiang watched the disobedient little tabby cat kicking around, mud rubbing against Xiao Li's clothes.
"No, no... I can do it. Stand further away and be careful not to get your clothes dirty."
Xiao Li looked at Zhao Jingxiang, who was wearing a blue factory uniform and a high ponytail.
At this moment, it felt like a little deer had taken up residence in my heart, running around foolishly.
After hearing this, Zhao Jingxiang didn't leave. She watched the boy in front of her carefully touching Xiao Lihua's neck with his other hand, supporting her belly.
Lihua felt comfortable being touched, and with a "meow", the bone in his mouth fell off.
It looked at the stupid human who was holding it up for no reason with its big round brown eyes, meowed a few times, and fluttered its little body to get down.
Xiao Li gently moved to the outside of the pit, and the tabby's paw landed perfectly, splashing mud all over his face. After causing trouble, he shook his tail and slipped away openly.
Poor Xiao Li was in tears. He could see that there was mud splashed on his nose, but he didn't take it seriously and just wiped it off.
I didn't expect that there was dirt on my hands. After a big hand wipe, my whole face turned into a clown face.
Zhao Jingxiang just tried to stop him, but it was too late and she burst out laughing.
Xiao Li looked at his sweetheart smiling so happily in front of him, her eyes curved as if filled with stars.
The little deer in his heart turned into an elephant, using its trunk to roll up fireworks, which exploded in clusters right between his eyebrows.
Zhao Jingxiang took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to Xiao Li, who was smiling foolishly.
"Here, wipe it off."
As if he was afraid that the person in front of him would regret it, Xiao Li quickly took the handkerchief, held it loosely in his palm, and felt itchy inside.
She thought Xiao Li was silly, and well, a little cute.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw small white bones sticking out of the pit.
She asked in confusion, "Strange, why is there a bone here?"
Xiao Li woke up instantly and examined the bone carefully in his hand.
"Oh yeah, who dug this pit? Wait, these bones... they don't look like the bones of small animals."
He was very familiar with this grove, and there were not many pits on sunny days.
He bent down and picked up the bone that the little tabby cat had just bitten, and fell into deep thought.
The big hand dug in the pit a few times, threw away a piece of dirt, and saw a small piece of bone.
He had served as a conscript in the army for two years and could identify the bones of some common animals.
He frowned and inexplicably thought of the strange light he saw when he went to the bathroom the night before.
Suddenly, a bad guess popped up in my mind: Could it be that someone is digging the grave?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His face turned pale and then blue, and his wandering thoughts were interrupted by the girl's voice.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as Xiao Li looked up, he received a concerned look. He grinned and said, "It's okay. Go back to work first. I'll report to the factory. Don't be afraid."
Zhao Jingxiang nodded and left.
Xiao Li withdrew his gaze, stood up and went to the factory director's office.
“Knock knock knock—”
"What? Are you telling the truth? Someone dug a pit in the woods, and there are white bones in it!"
Director Li also came to the office early and was working at his desk to arrange the factory's production plan for this year. When he heard the news, he was overwhelmed.
"Director, seriously, I don't think these are animal bones. To be safe, let's ask the police to take a look."
It just so happens that most of the employees have not arrived yet, so we can block off the grove as soon as possible to avoid destroying the first scene.
"Okay, go report it to the police immediately."
"Hey, wait, son, what's going on with your face?"
Director Li looked at his son with mud on his face and asked casually.
"Director, it's really alright, I'm leaving now."
Xiao Li blushed, scratched his hair, and walked away quickly.
"You little bastard!"
Director Li cursed with a smile, shook his head, and continued to write the plan.
…
The police arrived quickly and dug out all the bones in the pit. The accompanying forensic doctor took them and confirmed that they were not animal bones, but human bones.
This matter became a big deal, and Director Li quickly rushed to the grove.
There were also some employees standing not far away, with their chins raised and their necks stretched to watch the excitement with their companions.
"Director Li, our preliminary assessment is that this large pit was dug only a few days ago. The soil here is softer than the surrounding soil."
The pit was dug to a depth of more than one meter. It didn't take much effort to dig with the shovel at the beginning, but it became difficult as we dug further down.
"Has anyone suspicious been here recently?"
During the New Year period, there was no one in the factory, except for the people living in the nearby staff housing who came here for a walk.
"Comrade Public Security, I remember now. The night before last..."
Xiao Li raised his right hand and stuttered as he spoke about what happened that night in front of everyone's gaze.
After hearing this, the captain fell into deep thought with a frown on his face.
A young comrade who was working hard to dig a hole shouted excitedly.
"Captain, come quickly. We found a bigger bone next to this pit. It looks like a human hand."
Another exclamation came: "There's cloth stuck to this mud!"
The forensic doctor carefully wiped off the mud and debris on the bones with gloves, put them in a bag, sealed it, and took it back to identify the bone age.
When Director Li heard this, his scalp went numb and his blood pressure began to rise again.
This even resulted in a loss of life!
"Director Li, we will report this matter to the bureau immediately."
After the captain finished speaking, he took a few people away, and the remaining comrades continued to guard the crime scene in the grove.
The sharp-eared workers standing nearby also heard the conversation, their eyes widened, and they spoke to their companions about the important matter in trembling voices.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but great news travels far and wide.
Before noon, the news of this matter had spread to the compound.
Gao Xiulan and the other two had just returned from buying groceries in the morning and were sitting under the eaves picking vegetables.
Zhang Dazui had just stepped into the backyard and hadn't even sat down on the bench when he started talking loudly.
"Something serious has happened! Someone's been killed in the woods near the City No. 2 Food Factory!"
"The police were there, a huge crowd of people."
"What what?"
Everyone in the compound looked at Zhang Dazui in unison, each of them stunned by the news.
