Chapter 177 A Terrifying Morning at the Police Station



Several large rocks of different shapes are scattered in the field, and the lush rice is growing vigorously, already full of grains. In another half a month or a month, it will be ready for harvest.

Yuan Mengge walked along the ridge of the paddy field, circled around several paddy fields, and walked to the middle area, to a stone next to the edge of the field.

The rock was enormous, lying horizontally on the ground, half buried in the soil and half exposed above ground.

Around the bottom of the rock, you can see some golden apple snails and river snails clinging to it, as well as some pink golden apple snail eggs stuck to the rock.

Yuan Mengge stopped after walking to the rock.

She circled the bottom of the stone and examined it.

The stone was in the field, surrounded by rice paddies, while it leaned against the ridge, which was also covered with grass.

He rolled up his trousers and circled around the edge of the rock, trampling all the mud under his feet.

However, she avoided stepping on any of the rice paddies.

After searching for several times, she finally dug something out of the grass on the edge of the field.

[Ding-dong - Item obtained: Gold Necklace]

Gold necklace: Deceased's belongings. Purpose: Physical evidence (please hand it over to the police)

Because it was buried in damp soil, the necklace had become corroded and worn out.

Yuan Mengge put away the necklace and turned to leave.

It's getting late, let's look for the rest tomorrow.

She was still taking the man with the skull face to the police station...

Once she arrived in town, she picked up a cardboard box in front of a grocery store and carefully placed the skull inside.

He explained to it, "I'm going to take you to the police station now. Once they find you, they'll definitely start an investigation, and then the murderer who killed you will be caught."

Although she was not superstitious, she still respected the dead.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to burn incense every night for a whole month after digging up her great-grandfather's grave with a hoe.

He wrote a note with the information about the skull-faced man, the location where it was found, and information about the other two pieces of evidence, and then put it in a cardboard box along with the other two pieces of evidence.

In the middle of the night, while the police officers at the local police station were dozing off, Yuan Mengge quietly pushed the box past from the side of the door.

Then he turned and left.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the young police officer on duty stood up, walked to the door, stretched, and planned to stretch before having breakfast.

Then I saw a box sitting out of nowhere by the door.

"Huh? What's that? Who put it here?" The police officer leaned over to take a look, and what he saw almost scared the soul out of him.

"My God!" The police officer took a step back in fright, then stared at the contents of the box with lingering fear.

This seems to be true!

When he saw the skull in the box, his first reaction was shock, and then he subconsciously wondered if it was fake.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that it's not fake!

As a rookie police officer who had only been in office for two years, his daily work involved maintaining order in the town, handling fights, disturbances, and catching thieves.

When there are murder cases, it's always the veteran officers from the station who go out to handle them.

Even if he went, he only handled other security and investigation work on the perimeter and did not have direct contact with the body.

So when he suddenly saw a skull in front of the police station, his first reaction was to be frightened.

But having been a police officer for two years, he quickly calmed down after the initial shock.

First, they went forward to observe the situation and confirm what else was in the box besides the skull.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that there were indeed other things as well.

A fountain pen, a necklace, and a piece of paper.

When the police officer saw the paper, he reached out to pick it up and take a look, but stopped halfway through. He then got up, went into the police station, found a pair of gloves, and put them on.

Then he came out, picked up the paper, and opened it to see what was inside.

Deceased: Li Jingfei, male, 28 years old, from the provincial capital. Location of discovery: Section 73 rubber plantation, seventh tree on the right in the fifth row.

Necklace: A relic of the second deceased. No information about the deceased. Location of discovery: A large rock on the edge of a field in the western part of Dahe Village.

Fountain pen: A possession of the third deceased, no information about the deceased, found at the bottom of the Shitouwan River near Dahe Village.

Although the information for the second and third items only includes their discovery locations, it is still useful information.

Furthermore, the letter stated that the two items and the deceased in the box were unrelated.

It also indicated that there were a second and a third victim!

The police officers carried the box into the police station and then began to sort out the contents information.

I checked, and section 73 of the forest is also located in Dahe Village.

In other words, the murder suspect is likely from one of the villages in that area.

The young police officer investigated the homicide records of the past few years and found no reported homicides or missing persons cases in that area.

And who delivered these things?

The person who brought the body even knew the deceased's identity?

The police called the missing persons investigation team in the provincial capital to see if there was a missing person named Li Jingfei there.

Let's start the investigation with this deceased person.

The response from the other side would take some time, so the young police officer had no choice but to wait.

Before the other police officers arrived for work in the morning, the young officer had to work alone at the police station.

I even forgot to go out and buy breakfast.

It wasn't until his other colleagues arrived at work that they saw him writing something with a serious expression.

"Have you had breakfast?" a colleague asked as he came in.

The young police officer looked up and immediately said, "You haven't eaten yet, you should eat first, we need to get back to work."

Colleague: "What work are you doing?"

The young police officer pointed with his chin to the skull-shaped box on the table: "Look, you'll see."

My colleague went over to take a look, and then said, "...You scared me! Why didn't you say there were guests? How did they get here?"

Young police officer: "It was delivered to my door in the middle of the night, and I only found it this morning. Moreover, the person wrote down the deceased's information and the location where the physical evidence was found. Come and take a look."

His colleague immediately came over, stood beside him, and looked down at him.

An hour later, the provincial capital called back, confirming that a man named Li Jingfei, 28 years old, had indeed gone missing three years ago.

Before disappearing, he said he was going to Lishan County to do some business, but he disappeared after arriving there.

Later, after Li Jingfei's family realized he was missing, they went to find his business partner who had been in contact with him. The partner said that although he had made an appointment with Li Jingfei that day, Li Jingfei had failed to show up and they had not seen him.

As for the Niutou Town Police Station, they were unable to prove whether the skull was Li Jingfei based solely on a piece of paper.

Because the other two pieces of evidence did not belong to him.

It's already turned to bones, so even if we bring family members over, we won't be able to verify their identity.
