At 2 p.m., a dozen or so people came to the town's police station.
When everyone came in, the entire hall was packed.
Wen Li stood out the most in the center of the crowd. Some of the passersby who were originally handling business in the hall recognized her after seeing her.
Wen Li calmly put on a mask, preventing passersby from taking a full picture of her.
The bureau chief arrived quickly upon hearing the news.
I heard that the person who reported the case filed several reports in a row, which is why they are taking it very seriously.
But when he arrived, he was stunned for a long time when he saw that the person who reported the case was so young.
Before anyone could speak, Mother He cried out, "Your Honor, you must do justice for me! This scoundrel has dug up my youngest son's grave! And he even took away my daughter-in-law's remains!"
The director glanced at He's mother, then at the composed Wen Li, and immediately said, "Don't stand in the lobby yet, let's go into the reconciliation room first."
"Let's go straight to the interrogation room."
Wen Li had just finished sending a message on her phone. Her small face was mostly covered by a mask, leaving only a pair of deep eyes visible: "The eldest son of the He family committed murder. His parents, in order to cover up his crime, arranged a ghost marriage for someone, preventing the victim from being reincarnated. Tan Yaozu of the Tan family raped a minor. The Yu family extorted money and sold their underage daughter, forcing her to marry someone else. Are there any need to mediate these matters?"
Upon hearing this, the bureau chief hesitated and said, "We can't just rely on words; we need witnesses and physical evidence."
The families who were forcibly brought in suddenly felt emboldened: "That's right, you need evidence to back up your claims!"
Wen Li remained calm and said indifferently, "Of course, evidence is required."
Upon seeing this, Tan Xiaoxiao immediately stood up and said, "I am Tan Sanmei's younger sister. My sister died from a perforated intestine. Not long after her death, I learned that my sister had been sold for 20,000 yuan to the eldest son of the He family, who had already died of illness, for a ghost marriage! And I was also sold to the He family for 160,000 yuan!"
Thanks to Wen Li's reminder, Tan Xiaoxiao recorded the entire conversation today.
When they heard He's mother say, "Don't sell it to us either," all the police officers present changed their expressions.
There are actually mothers like this in the world.
First they sold their dead biological daughter to arrange a ghost marriage, and now they want to sell their living daughter in the same way!
Yu Pandi also stepped forward, her belly protruding.
Yu's parents were stunned, and immediately pulled Yu Pandi back: "You brat, do you want to die? Why did you stand up like that!"
To everyone's surprise, Yu Pandi's eyes were filled with hatred as she stared intently at them.
She shoved aside the people around her and ran with all her might to Wen Li's side: "I am the bride who is getting married today. I was forced into this by Tan Yaozu and my biological parents!"
"You!" The Yu family parents made a move to hit someone, but the police officers present reacted quickly and stopped them sternly: "What are you doing? Do you think the police station can beat people up?"
The Yu family members shrank back, not daring to speak.
Upon seeing this, the He family members' hearts skipped a beat. Looking at Wen Li, their eyes were filled with hatred: "Then what are you going to accuse my family of? We paid money, it wasn't a forced sale. You say my son killed someone? My son can't carry a load, the whole village knows that! You're spreading rumors about us!"
"If my calculations are correct, your son has prominent eyebrows, a broken left eyebrow since childhood, and a black mole on his chin. He has a history of abusing animals, especially the village cats, which he has almost killed. When you found out, instead of disciplining him, you helped him cover up his crimes. You have helped him deal with hundreds of animals since he was a child, until three years ago, when your son killed someone!"
Mrs. He's face turned deathly pale, but she still said, "You have no evidence..."
"Of course I have no evidence, but you couldn't cover up those bodies, so you built a pigsty in the backyard and threw all the cats and dogs your son had abused and the people he had killed into it."
Amidst He's mother's shocked expression, Wen Li calmly said, "Thirty-eight cats, twenty-seven dogs, a girl who just turned eight, and two young girls who have just come of age."
"Am I right?" Wen Li's gaze, as cold as ice, shot towards Hou He's mother.
Even the Tan and Yu families were stunned.
The He family lived in a separate place, and few people passed by their backyard. However, when they went up the mountain to dig soil and passed by the pigsty, especially in the summer, they could smell an indescribable and unmaskable stench.
Every time, the Ho family would say it was because their piglets had died.
But every family has lost piglets. Even if a 300-pound pig dies, it won't smell this bad!
The bureau chief wasn't stupid. Although there were many suspicious points about Wen Li, the more important facts were right in front of him—everything Wen Li said was true.
The bureau chief immediately sent people to the village again: "Take the forensic doctor and go to the He family's pigsty to see if there is a body!"
Upon hearing this, He's mother collapsed to the ground.
It's over, everything is over!
The police quickly divided into several groups for interrogation. Because there were witnesses and physical evidence, Tan Yaozu was directly arrested by the police. The Yu family was also educated for forcibly selling their daughter. The police announced on the spot that the marriage was invalid.
The Tan family was not having it.
The Yu family received a dowry of 180,000 yuan from them!
"Then what about our money?" Mr. and Mrs. Tan sat up abruptly, looking indignant.
The police officer glanced at Tan's parents and said directly, "You also bear responsibility for improper parenting. Tan Yaozu is now an adult. If Yu Pandi holds your son accountable, he will go to jail!"
"What?" Mr. and Mrs. Tan felt as if the sky had fallen, not knowing how things had turned out this way.
After negotiating for more than two hours, the director received a call from a forensic medical officer who was out on the job. When he learned that there was indeed a body under the pigsty of the He family, he almost dropped his phone.
The Ho couple were arrested immediately. At first, they refused to say anything and kept saying they didn't know anything.
Even if the police wanted to arrest them, they would need evidence. Knowing all this, the He couple were not afraid at all. Instead, they said, "Who knows if someone else did it? That girl outside described it so clearly. Maybe she was the one who killed him."
The interrogating police officer was speechless.
They were all very curious about how Wen Li knew there were so many corpses hidden under the pigsty.
Wen Li didn't hide anything and showed the director her special department ID: "My ID number can be searched on the internal website. You can easily find out if I'm an insider."
When the technical staff searched online, they actually discovered that there really was a department called the Celestial Masters Society within the larger system!
