Chapter 294 Mission accomplished?
When these words were spoken, everyone present wanted to laugh. After all, this was not a TV drama.
The police wanted to leave after finding nothing after breaking into the house. They said, "Technically speaking, we don't have a search warrant. We broke in earlier because we were acting on our urgency, but if we dig up someone's yard now, that's a little unreasonable."
The police also have their own helplessness.
The two bodyguards looked at each other, both of them were frantically thinking of countermeasures, but their cell phones were still connected and the police dog beside them was still barking.
Xu Youyou on the phone suddenly said, "I can't hear the dog's barking clearly. Come closer so I can hear it clearly."
Although the two bodyguards did not understand Xu Youyou's inexplicable request, they still carried it out firmly.
The phone was brought close to the police dog, and Xu Youyou was able to hear clearly what the puppy said when it was close enough.
"Woof woof! There must be something hidden under the rose bushes! It stinks! It's the smell of a corpse!" the puppy shouted.
When the phone returned to the bodyguard's ear, he heard Xu Youyou's particularly firm voice on the other end of the line.
"Try to find a way to dig up the rose bushes. I'm 90% sure there's someone hiding underneath." Xu Youyou said.
The two bodyguards were good brothers who joined the army together and retired together. They understood each other's meaning with just a glance. Having followed Xu Youyou for so long, although the boss is a little young, he has never made any mistakes in what he says or does.
One of the bodyguards suddenly turned around and rushed into the greenhouse nearby.
The policeman quickly shouted, "What are you doing? Are you going to rob us? Steal?"
The other bodyguard held out his hands to stop the two policemen. He waited until his good brother ran out with a hoe before he said to the police, "My brother's nose is sharper than a dog's. He really thinks there's a body hidden under the rose bushes. Just let him dig it up. It'll only take time. If there's really a murder, wouldn't it be a mistake to let the dead soul die unjustly if we miss it?"
The two policemen watched the bodyguard with the hoe really just digging up the rose bushes and not doing anything else. After thinking about it, they actually did not stop him. Instead, they turned their heads away silently, pretending to be enjoying the scenery.
The bodyguard used his hoe to dig and touched the soft soil, making the digging work extremely easy.
In less than twenty minutes the hoe came into contact with an unusual object.
"Dig it out!" the bodyguard shouted.
The police surrounded them immediately.
It was a body wrapped in a tarp.
It seems that the body has not been buried for very long, and one can vaguely see that it is an old man.
"This seems to be... Zhang Boyuan... the owner of this house. I have seen him wearing this outfit in the past." said one of the policemen.
Zhang Boyuan was a stingy person with a strange temper. He lived on Lamma Island all year round. The entire island was so small and there were only a few people coming and going. The reason why the policeman who spoke remembered it so clearly was because he was dealing with a dispute between Zhang Boyuan and the owner of a grocery store on the island.
Zhang Boyuan, this stubborn old man, left a particularly deep impression on the police.
"But there are still signs of recent life in the house. The body has been dead for at least a week," said another policeman.
The bodyguard who dug out the things immediately said, "Is there any surveillance camera or entry and exit records on the island? We can check who entered the house recently and who deliberately forged the traces of life."
The police nodded, and the two bodyguards were taken to the police station to take a statement.
Although their behavior was a bit strange, their records of coming and going were extremely clear. He insisted that it was because of their extremely sensitive noses and their righteous nature. He also showed his discharge certificate, which immediately dispelled the strange marks on them.
Although a hidden murder case was brought to light, Xu Youyou was not very happy. After all, her original purpose was to buy a house.
The original owner of the house has died, and now the heir to the house is his son who lives in the UK. By the time the police contact that person and he returns from abroad to complete the inheritance of the property, I'm afraid it will have already exceeded the system's task time limit.
More importantly, until now, Xu Youyou knew nothing about the target of picking up bargains.
She really wanted to break into the house in Mirador Mansion and take down her target.
But she can't.
Soon, Lu Jingyao brought her another piece of new news.
"Mr. Zhang ran away and the police couldn't contact him. We were the last people to see him," said Lu Jingyao.
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that Zhang Sheng killed his uncle?"
Lu Jingyao nodded slightly: "The police do suspect this."
The police are now summoning Xu Youyou's people to take a statement in order to inquire about the details of her last meeting with Zhang Sheng.
Xu Youyou always told the truth, but when she was taking the statement, something suddenly occurred to her and she mentioned Mirador Building.
"I originally wanted to buy the house owned by Zhang Boyuan in Mirador Building. I knocked on the door for a long time and we noticed that there was someone in the house, but the other party did not open the door. Now that I think about it, we have reasonable suspicion that the person in the house is Zhang Sheng, and there may be some clues inside." Xu Youyou said.
When the police heard this, they immediately marked the house in Mirador Building.
That afternoon, a group of people opened the property in Mirador Mansion with a search warrant, intending to look for clues, but they unexpectedly found another body.
In a house in Mirador Mansion, a female corpse was hidden in the freezer.
The corpse was not a stranger, but Mr. Chen’s granddaughter.
When Mr. Chen received the news, he fainted immediately out of anxiety.
Old Master Lu also sighed: "How could it be... Who could have thought... Miss Chen had just returned from her studies and hadn't had time to show her talents, how could... Poor old Chen has to send off his daughter..."
Xu Youyou didn't expect that just by saying a few words, she could actually complete the task of picking up the bargain.
Liu Xiangyi, who had seldom spoken since arriving in Hong Kong City, suddenly spoke up: "Boss, did you know from the beginning that this man was a murderer? Is that why you kept chasing him?"
Xu Youyou recalled that she had chased Zhang Sheng from Mirador Mansion to Taikoo Shing, and then asked her bodyguards to chase him to Lamma Island. It really looked like she was chasing Zhang Sheng.
If she had not insisted on buying the property in Mirador Building and tried every means to contact Zhang Boyuan, she would have been afraid that Zhang Sheng would still pretend to be a normal person and pretend to be helping his uncle manage the property, and the murder would have been covered up.
But Xu Youyou set her eyes on Liu Xiangyi. It was not so easy for her to do the task of picking up bargains in the past. If there was any difference this time, it was purely because she brought Liu Xiangyi with her!
