Chapter 106: The Stalker Appears
The police dog lay beside the pit.
Combined with the fragments of unburned clothes found earlier, it is easy to imagine what happened here.
But what about the body?
Yang Aihua and Zhang Ma were both so scared that they almost fainted, but the result was so unexpected, the body disappeared.
Yang Aihua's face was still pale, which reminded her of her experiences in the past few days. The feeling of being stared at was real, but she didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost.
The thought made her break out in a cold sweat.
Lin Wanqing stared at the pit for a long time before asking in a trembling voice, "What does this mean?"
But just as she finished her words, the police dog suddenly started running again, and people hurried to catch up.
Then the police dog wandered around a river for a long time and the scent was interrupted.
"Zhijie, Zhijie, where are you?" This time, Aunt Zhang cried sincerely. She really wanted to know where Zhang Zhijie's body was.
How could he have disappeared without a trace? Could he have resurrected?
No, that pit was clearly dug by someone. In other words, did someone in this world already know that they had committed murder? Or was it dug accidentally? If it was accidental, why didn't they call the police?
Yang Aihua went over it again from the beginning and everything became smooth sailing for her.
If it's not a ghost, then it can only be human.
Someone knew about their burial! As soon as this thought came to her mind, Yang Aihua felt dizzy. Coupled with the fact that she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, Yang Aihua fainted.
"Oh, why did you faint again?"
Someone exclaimed, and everyone rushed towards Yang Aihua who was lying on the ground.
Her biological mother didn't faint, but this aunt of hers did. Lin Wanqing looked at Yang Aihua's pale face and it didn't look like she was pretending.
Do you really care about Zhang Zhijie that much? How is that possible?
Lin Wanqing withdrew her gaze and looked at the river not far away.
Across the river is the funeral home. In this era, everyone is still obsessed with burial, and the number of times people are forced to use the cremation furnace is very rare.
At this time, black smoke drifted from afar, piling up layer by layer, as if someone had died again.
The police said that the case could only be filed after investigation and asked their family members to cooperate with the questioning.
What that meant was that it seemed like the child was really killed.
Aunt Zhang cried bitterly, Lin Wanqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and almost fell down. Everyone was immersed in this sad atmosphere, and then panicked.
"They say he's a pervert! He specializes in eating children's hearts, livers, and lungs!"
"Oh my! People who saw it said Zhijie was in such a terrible state, his stomach had been ripped open! Tsk tsk, you'd better keep an eye on your child! Don't let him run around!"
"I heard that the killer is from our area. He pretends to be a decent person, but secretly kills children!"
Rumors spread and became more and more outrageous.
Lin Wanqing took a few days off and hid in the Lin Mansion, pretending to be heartbroken.
Sad? She was really sad. She kept thinking about the scenes of her time with Zhang Zhijie in her previous life, the first time he called her "Mom", and the first time he got a perfect score in the exam.
Then she thought about how he asked her for money after losing money gambling, and how he was so indifferent that she had to fend for herself.
In the end, even that little bit of sadness was worn away.
Zhang Zhijie, Lin Wanqing called softly.
"Mom doesn't owe you anything."
"I will burn paper for you regularly. You loved money in your previous life, so I will burn lots of it for you, so that you can continue to be a spendthrift and extravagant person in the underworld."
"Your grandparents must miss you very much."
Lin Wanqing wrapped herself in the quilt and spoke to the air, as if Zhang Zhijie was really there listening quietly.
Then she fell asleep.
In the dream, a chubby little ball smiled at Lin Wanqing and called her mother.
But Lin Wanqing couldn't see his face. The clear child's voice filled her eardrums, forcing Lin Wanqing to keep following the sound.
The child finally walked into the mist, waved to Lin Wanqing, and said, "Goodbye, Mom."
"sorry."
The little boy suddenly started breathing rapidly, grabbing the rope under his neck with his hands, and his face turned purple.
Lin Wanqing woke up suddenly.
The horrifying scene seemed to be right in her mind, and Lin Wanqing stared blankly at the scene in front of her.
In the darkness, everything was quiet and Lin Wanqing could only hear her own heartbeat.
She was sure that the person she had just dreamed of was Zhang Zhijie, and he was speaking to her in her dream.
Saying sorry to her was an apology for his past.
In the end, he struggled so painfully, as if something was holding back his breathing and he was about to suffocate.
Lin Wanqing felt her face was cold, and when she touched it, she found tears.
She had been crying without realizing it.
That was her child. Even if she hated him and wanted to cut off all ties with him, Lin Wanqing could not remain indifferent in the face of his death.
Lin Wanqing was thinking about her dream all night long.
I wondered if Zhang Zhijie really died of suffocation.
But now even his body cannot be found, so the cause of his death cannot be determined.
Wan Jiajia came to Lin Mansion to accompany her after work, fearing that she would have wild thoughts.
Si Ye would occasionally hang around her door, deliberately making some noise to create some presence.
Lin Wanqing was too lazy to deal with these things, so she went to the police station three times a day to ask if there was any progress.
No, still no.
It is said that the murderer is an experienced one and he cleaned up the scene so that no useful clues could be found.
Time goes by day by day, but solving the case is still a long way off.
This made Zhang Ma and Yang Aihua feel a lot more at ease.
At first, they were immersed in fear every day, unable to eat or sleep, always wondering where Zhang Zhijie's body had gone, and they lost a lot of weight.
"Do you think it's possible that it was taken away by a wolf?"
"There are wolves on that mountain!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they rejected the proposal themselves.
It was obvious that the pit was not dug by a wolf's claws, but by a shovel, and the edges were very smooth with each shovel.
"I think there's a high probability that I'm being targeted."
Yang Aihua's face was still pale as she stared out the window blankly.
She would rather believe that it was Zhang Zhijie who faked his death.
The body was gone, vanished into thin air. How could that be possible? Who was the person who dug it up? Why hadn't they come looking for her? Shouldn't they have threatened her?
Yang Aihua felt like there was a sword hanging over her head, and it might fall down any day and kill her with one blow.
But as time went by, Zhang Zhijie's affairs went from being a hot topic to something people occasionally mentioned after dinner, and the Zhang family had become calm.
"Buddha bless you! This matter is over!"
Aunt Zhang knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
Yang Aihua also followed suit and bowed.
Liu Qingqing was very proud, "Fortunately you did as I said, otherwise you would all be shot!"
At this time, she began to take credit, thinking that she had something on them, and that it would be a piece of cake to order them around in the future.
As Liu Qingqing thought about this, she felt more and more wise.
"Yes, it's all because of your good planning." Yang Aihua naturally began to flatter him.
Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "That's because you're obedient!"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "No matter what, we finally got through it safely!"
The three of them burst into laughter.
When Yang Aihua was getting ready to go out in the morning, the feeling of being stared at came back.
She immediately thought that something was wrong and walked forward quickly.
She looked back as she walked, and at first she still couldn't see anyone, but when she reached a corner where there was no one, she looked back.
A burly man was already standing in front of her.
