Distracted by Wang Cheng's situation, Li Nan temporarily lost the desire to express her feelings.
The baby is already asleep in Qin Wen's belly, how could we let him run away?
When I get home tonight, I'm going to give this little wench a good talking to. How could she keep such a big thing from me for so long!
So long? Right, how long exactly?
Let's ask our wives tonight!
By the way, my wife is pregnant, so she shouldn't be doing those bloody jobs anymore. I'll remember to warn her tonight.
Everything is for my wife, everything is for my child!
I, Li Nan, am such a good man and a good father!
Li Nan was lost in her own fantasies as she began to walk in circles around the open space of the factory.
The tea factory's landscaping is indeed problematic. The weeds in front of the building are almost as tall as a person, while the grass behind and on both sides of the building only reaches about knee-high.
Smelling the faint smell of decay all around, Li Nan realized it wasn't just the smell of chicken manure fertilizer, and he vaguely guessed the truth.
Li Nan glanced at the "cured meat" in the basement; it was just muscle. Back then, the amount of meat in the boxed lunches never reached the weight of 17 adult women.
Then, the truth is quite obvious.
Li Nan dialed the phone number of Deng Weishi, the patrol officer of the western suburbs. Digging the ground would require a lot of people, so it was better to leave this hard and tiring work to them.
That's quite a significant achievement!
Although it was well past the end of the workday, Deng Weishi accepted the task without complaint in the face of the superior's request.
More importantly, the 0609 case in 2022 had the greatest impact on the Western Suburbs Patrol Guard. Within their jurisdiction, five prostitutes were murdered at the Youwu entertainment club alone.
Over the phone, Li Nan clearly told Deng Weishi that he was currently at one of the crime scenes in the 0609 case.
At his feet lie the very likely remains of all the prostitutes who were murdered at that time.
Without Li Nan asking for anything, Deng Weishi hung up the phone and immediately summoned all on-duty staff of the West Suburbs Patrol Station.
Apart from leaving two officers on duty, a total of 34 colleagues, including several trainee officers who had recently joined the patrol team, rushed to the abandoned industrial park in the western suburbs from various locations, each carrying their own excavation equipment.
By 7:30, all 34 colleagues from the West Suburb Patrol Team, including Guard Deng, had already gathered at the entrance of the tea factory.
Looking at the dozens of colleagues in front of her, Li Nan felt tears welling up in her eyes and a fire of justice burning in her heart.
"Comrades, the victims of the 0609 case have been abandoned on the grass right here. Let's work together to bring them out and send them home safely!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and under Deng Weishi's command, they divided into four groups to excavate the green belt in front of the tea factory.
This large-scale operation was not just a verbal order from Li Nan.
After notifying Deng Weishi, Li Nan applied for a search warrant from Xiong Sifu and for the cooperation of other departments of the Anding Division.
The numerous pieces of evidence from the basement have been transported up one by one. With just Li Nan and the first few who arrived, it would take until next month to finish.
The matter was of great importance, and after completing the relevant procedures, Xiong Sifu drove over immediately.
Deputy Director Yang Zhengning was naturally not to be left behind and was already on his way.
With many hands making light work, the group cleared the shoulder-high weeds in just over ten minutes.
The hoe landed, and after digging only forty centimeters, a discovery was made.
"Guard, we've found something here!"
"Guard, I've found wreckage here too!"
"They're here too!"
The excavation progressed faster than expected; within just one hour, all the possible locations where remains might have been buried within the green belt had been found.
The murderer didn't seem to put much thought into burying it.
Along the path leading in, two ditches, each about half a meter deep, were dug on the left and right sides. Each ditch was only about two meters long and about thirty centimeters wide.
The remains of more than ten young girls were scattered evenly among them.
On top of the remains, there was a thin layer of chicken manure fertilizer, and on top of that, there was planting soil and weeds.
Many of the patrol team members were interns or newcomers who had just started working. When they first began digging, they were encouraged by the positive spirit and didn't react much.
Seeing the several corpses neatly piled up in the open space, they all ran onto the factory road to vent their nausea.
Li Nan had behaved fairly well in the basement, but seeing this scene now, he couldn't help but feel a sour taste rising in his throat.
Xiong Yingjun and Yang Zhengning, who arrived later, were much better off. After all, they were people who had seen a lot of things and were leaders, so they had to maintain appearances.
After an hour of digging, plus the time for gathering, Qin Wen and her team finished collecting and categorizing the evidence from the basement, and loaded it all onto a truck to be transported back to Anding Division.
"Another sleepless night!" Qin Wen sighed, said goodbye to Li Nan and the leaders, and then returned to Anding Division with the transport vehicle.
Master Xiong patted Li Nan on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Little Li, you did a great job this time!"
"All violations of the law will be investigated, and all murder cases will be solved!"
Li Nan gave a perfect salute!
...
After the scene was cleaned up and all the remains were removed, it was already 10 p.m. Looking at the starry sky, Li Nan sighed, "Sigh, another sleepless night. I won't be able to hear my child's heartbeat again tonight!"
Actually, the An Ding Division didn't work that hard. After Qin Wen and the others returned to the An Ding Division and sorted out and temporarily stored all the evidence, Xiong Sifu still kindly sent them all back.
