Dig a little deeper. Yu Wenlong peeked at Wu Rui and entered the room and said.

Yu Wenlong is also a veteran police officer with many years of criminal investigation experience, and he estimated in his heart that with the age of the Tattered King at that time, if he really killed people and buried the corpse, he would not bury it too deeply.

After digging for a while, there was still no trace of the bones, and the more the soil layer in the northeast was dug down, the more difficult it was to dig, and the speed of excavation began to slow down, and people couldn't help but wonder if there were any bones buried here at all, and if there were, maybe they were buried behind the house.

After another hour, there was still no trace, Jia Fugui couldn't help but suggest to Wu Rui: "Why don't we dig inside and outside the house together?" ”

Am I really wrong? At this moment, Wu Rui couldn't help but be suspicious, so he agreed to Jia Fugui's proposal, and everyone divided into two groups of equal numbers and began to dig together inside and outside the house.

Wu Rui didn't want to wait for everyone to suffer, so he and Xu Dong borrowed two shovels from the villagers and joined the excavation team.

Time passed, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and it was close to midnight, and the house had been dug more than a meter deep, and there was still no trace of the bones.

Judging from the situation back then, Wang Liyong was absolutely incapable of digging so deep, maybe his father really ran away from home? Maybe he later transferred the body? There are only two possibilities right now.

After several hours of work, everyone who does not often carry out such high-intensity physical labor is already tired, only to feel that the shovel containing the soil is getting heavier and heavier, and the arms are getting heavier and heavier.

Xu Dong came to Wu Rui and whispered, "It's too late, why don't we dig again tomorrow?" ”

Wu Rui knew that he was looking for a step for himself, so he didn't question it directly.

can't let everyone continue to do useless work because of their own judgment mistakes, Wu Rui immediately found Yu Wenlong and Jia Fugui: "Let's stop first!" No, tomorrow the ditch grabber will be dispatched to assist. ”

Yu Wenlong looked at the time and said, "It's okay." It's too late to dig up like this, so let's use a trencher to assist tomorrow! As he spoke, he looked at Jia Fugui.

Jia Fugui also agreed with his proposal and said: "Tomorrow I will get a ditch machine forklift or something from the township to come over to assist." ”

Having said that, the two of them still had some doubts about Wu Rui's inference in their hearts, after all, his conclusions were not supported by evidence and confessions, maybe they were busy for 163 times, and in the end they were just busy for nothing.

Both of them are old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years, this time they helped solve the case so quickly, they are famous in the circle, and they are still so young, maybe their achievements will be higher in the future, this kind of person can't be offended, and he can't say it beautifully at the moment, and he can't hear a little resentment.

The four villagers worked hard for a night, Wu Rui apologized and immediately took out four hundred yuan to express his gratitude, and after some tearing, the villagers divided the money and left happily, Yu Wenlong said that the money came out of the case-handling funds, and was politely rejected by Wu Rui.

There is no place to stay in the village, Jia Fugui suggested that they go to the guest house in the township to live, and come back tomorrow with the ditch machine forklift or something, Wu Rui was unwilling to decide to stay here, and just deal with the two policemen who stayed in the car at night for a night, and Xu Dong naturally stayed.

Yu Wenlong and Jia Fugui were helpless, left them two thick coats, and said a few more words, and then took their respective police officers to get into the car and leave, the two policemen who stayed behind were tired enough to sit in the car to rest, Wu Rui and Xu Dong sat in the car and chatted with them for a while, and returned to the hut of the tattered king again, and Xu Dong followed.

"Let everyone do a few hours of hard work, in vain, maybe someone will scold you in your heart now." Xu Dong said with a smile.

Wu Rui looked at him and teased: "Are you scolding me in your heart?" ”

"I don't, if I want to scold, I will scold openly." Xu Dong said with a smile.

Wu Rui slapped him and smiled happily: "Don't say anything, it's interesting enough, I'll go back and invite you to dinner." ”

"For the sake of you inviting me to dinner, I will spare you for not fighting back this time." Xu Dong said with a smile.

When the two came to the house, Wu Rui looked around and muttered, "Could it be that I am really wrong in my reasoning?" ”

His intuition told him that his calculations should be correct, could it be that the bones had been transferred?

"Could it have been transferred by him later?" Xu Dong and Wu Rui thought of a guess.

"I've also thought about this possibility, but the risk of doing so is too great, even if it is transferred, it should be a move that he will make when he grows up and has the ability, since he has been idle for so many years, why should he do it!" Wu Rui picked up a shovel and analyzed while digging.

"That's right. But if it's true, anyone who has lived with a corpse for so many years will not feel comfortable, and it is normal to transfer away. Xu Dong asked, "Still digging?" ”

"I always feel that my thinking is right, and I want to dig and dig again, maybe I can dig it with a spade."

Who knows if that's the truth under the next spade.

Xu Dong also picked up a shovel and dug it up: "Okay! I'm really convinced of you, I'll dig with you! Whether you can dig it up or not, don't forget to invite me to dinner, I will fight for this meal. ”

"Oh." Wu Rui said with a smile.

In this way, the two chatted and worked, and dug for more than half an hour before stopping to rest.

"If that guy buries the body near here, he's bold enough, if I don't dare to live here for so many years, it's mad to think about it, it's much more terrifying than Sadako in the midnight bell." Xu Dong lit a cigarette for each of them, and couldn't help but shudder when he said this.

Before Xu Dong's words fell, Wu Rui's mind flashed that the female ghost who crawled out of the well, with a stiff body and a cloak, was still young when he saw it, and he was really scared, and he remembered that he had nightmares for several days in a row!

When his mind turned, a flash of inspiration appeared, Wu Rui quickly grasped this wisp of thought, and said in surprise: "Well, well, it's a well... I understand. ”

Wu Rui was suddenly startled and startled Xu Dong, and Xu Dong asked puzzledly: "Well, what well?" What do you understand? ”

Wu Rui's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Our direction is right, but the consideration is still not comprehensive, we only think about him buried in these two places, but forget that he may kill his father, and then throw him into the well and bury him, or throw him in the cellar and bury it again, or other similar places." ”

"That's right. Both of these places are very deep, no wonder we dug more than a meter and there was nothing, I remember when I was a child, I went to my grandmother's house, her cellar was more than two meters deep, and once I almost fell into it! Later, there were cats hidden in it. Xu Dong thought about it, and the more he pondered, the more likely this was possible.

"And who knows where his well and cellar are?" Xu Dong asked suddenly.

"The old man should know." Wu Rui thought about it and said.

"Wang Laohan should know." Xu Dong's mind immediately appeared with a person.

"That's right, but it's almost two o'clock now, let's go ask now!" Wu Rui looked at the time and said hesitantly.

Wang Laohan lives next door to Wang Liyong's house, it is said that their two ancestors are from the same lineage, and it was because of this possible affection, and Wang Laohan saw that Wang Liyong was pitiful, so he would occasionally send some rice and noodles to help.

When Wu Rui and Xu Dong thought of this possibility, it was too late, they didn't plan to disturb Wang Laohan's family, but after all, they still didn't suppress the eagerness to know the answer in their hearts, and finally chose to disturb the good dreams of Wang Laohan's family.

The two walked out of Wang Liyong's house and came to the intersection, and the policeman with a simple face called Liu Jun had not yet slept, so he got out of the car and asked, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”

He knew that Wu Rui and Xu Dong were not dead, but he felt in his heart that there might not have been a corpse buried here at all, and it was useless to dig it, so he didn't go in to help because of this mentality, and besides, anyway, the ditch adjuster will come tomorrow, so why bother with such a thing.

Xu Dong smiled: "With new discoveries, don't look for clues." ”

"What's new?" Liu Jun asked curiously.

There is nothing to hide, Xu Dong said truthfully: "We speculate that the Tattered King may have thrown his father's body into a well near the courtyard, or a cellar or other place. ”

Liu Jun had participated in the search for evidence before, and had also helped dig soil in the house, but in his impression, he really did not find a well in the courtyard, or a cellar or anything, maybe the body was really hidden there and buried. At the moment, he said, "Where are you going to find clues?" I'll go with you. ”

"No need." Wu Rui said: "Let's just go next door to ask, if there are clues, we will ask you for help later." ”

"Okay! No problem. If it would be a great achievement to help find the body, Liu Jun would naturally happily agree.

Wu Rui and Xu Dong knocked on the door of Wang Laohan's house, Wang Laohan lived with his son's family, and the whole family was awakened at that moment.

After recalling for a while, he said, vaguely remembering that Wang Jincai (Wang Liyong's father) did not have that kind of deep well, and there was only one pressurized water well in the courtyard, but there seemed to be a cellar in the house, and his crazy woman had been locked up there for a long time, so he would never be wrong to remember it deeply.

Wu Rui and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and asked Wang Laohan to tell the exact location at the moment, Wang Laohan was not pretentious, and immediately got up and dressed to go to the scene to identify.

Wang Laohan's son had helped dig the soil before, and he got Wu Rui's 100 yuan, and he hurriedly put on his clothes, and helped Wang Laohan to Wang Liyong's house with a flashlight, and Liu Jun also woke up the policeman Zhang Haitao into the house.

After entering the house, Wang Laohan pointed to the location of the ground and said: "That's it, there used to be a cellar here, and the crazy woman of Wang Jincai's family was locked in it before. ”

Looking at the old man's proud appearance of meritorious service, Wu Rui only felt very cute, in fact, he only needed to say a word, he didn't have to come here, and said a word of thanks and praise at the moment, and the old man laughed.

Wang Laohan's son sent the old man back, and then returned with a bucket and shovel to help dig, in his words, this matter is not unlucky, it is a great thing for the ancestors to accumulate yin virtue, I just hope that this contribution can bless my father to live for a few more years, Wu Rui and others were very moved when they heard this.

The tools brought by Captain Yu and others before were not taken away, but with a shovel in the hands of several people, they began to dig up within the circle, this was originally a cellar, and the soil in it belonged to the later filling, which was much easier to dig than the naturally formed soil layer, and the previous digging in this position was slightly deeper than other places, but no one noticed this before, and now it is negligent to think about it.
