Chapter 0291 – New Three Star Trial Mission
”I missed the only chance to save her.”
The old man lowered his head, his words filled with self-reproach and guilt, and after a long time, he continued, “After a month, I once again logged on to the door, wanting to see if the girl had been found.”
”I knocked on the door for a long time, no one answered.”
”Going round to one side, I saw that the glass on the window was broken, and on looking in at the window I realized that the girl’s mother had collapsed at the window opening, with one of her hands still resting on the edge of the window.”
”She seemed to be trying to get out, but the room was built like a prison, and the window was so narrow that it was impossible to get through.”
”I found a farm implement for work and swung it against the lock on the wooden door; the door of the room built by the girl’s father was so strong that it took a few minutes to open it.”
”Inside the house emitted a faint stench, tables and chairs tipped over, food spilled all over the place, the girl’s father was lying on his back in the doorway, and the other side of the door was full of deep scratches.”
”He must have been in a lot of pain ……”
”I called the police, called an ambulance, and was about to go back to the village to call out for help when the door of the other wooden house next to me suddenly opened.”
”The Zhu family’s second girl, the well-behaved little one, came out of the house.”
”It was only after seeing the key in her pocket that I suddenly realized that the door was locked from the outside!”
”Almost no outsiders would come in this ravine, and the people in the village shunned the couple, it was even more unlikely that they would come over to poison them for no reason, and then lock the two of them inside the house.”
”At that time, in that situation, there was only one murderer I could think of, and that was the Zhu family’s youngest daughter.”
”I looked at that little girl fiercely and felt strange, there was even some fear, I still haven’t figured out why this little girl did this.”
”She might be doing it for her sister, or it might be because she saw her own future from what happened to her sister, after all, that little girl also had a slight deformity on her body, only it was very inconspicuous.”
”Perhaps she was protecting herself?”
”And what happened next was even more horrifying.”
”When the girl saw me, she wasn’t afraid, she didn’t panic, she just walked over to me like she normally does.”
”She raised her delicate face in a good-natured, understanding manner, and the words she uttered left me freezing cold.”
”It was in a very flat tone, devoid of any emotion, and she told me that her sister had been buried in the Peach Tree Grove a few weeks before, and that she hoped I could help her to find her.”
”I was tempted to tell her that once a person is buried in the ground, it means death. I tried to explain to her what death meant, but she laughed so hard that she told me that people turn into something else when they die, and that her sister had never actually left!”
moncler outlet online He gripped his hand very hard, and his forehead still breaks out in a cold sweat when he thinks back to that time: “I didn’t know how to communicate with that child, and ran back to the village alone, calling a few young men to guard the perimeter of the peach grove, and then waited for the police to come over.”
”And then it was a long investigation, I told the police that there might still be bodies buried in the peach forest, but the police didn’t find Zhu Xinru in the peach forest.”
”They tried to use the little girl as a breakthrough, but the girl refused to communicate with anyone, as if she had suddenly become mute.”
”Out of guilt for Zhu Xinrou, I didn’t testify against her sister either, and in my opinion that couple really didn’t deserve to be their parents either.” The old man’s voice was permeated with a bit of bitterness, “That couple often beat up their own children, when the people who fled over from Coffin Village wanted to execute Zhu Xin Rou, not only did they not stop them, but they even had the intention of acquiescing, if it wasn’t for the people of our Bai Family Village who couldn’t stand to watch, maybe that kind of genocidal tragedy would really happen.”
”Removing the little girl, the person with the greatest suspicion should be you, right? Did the police say anything to you?” Chen Ge looked calm, this case was more or less what he thought.
”I hid some things about the little girl, but the police weren’t that easy to fool, they followed the clues and investigated a lot of things, among them, a police officer surnamed Yan seemed to have known the truth, only that he didn’t say anything about it.” The old man looked at the coffin and recalled the scene, “He wasn’t very interested in the poisoning case, instead, he asked me a lot of things about Coffin Village, and after making a lot of statements, I was released.”
”The little girl was taken away by the police, and I moved to the county district to live with my son, but I don’t know what happened, as soon as the night came I could hear Zhu Xinrou’s voice, she kept shouting – save me, save me.”
”I asked my son and daughter-in-law, they didn’t hear anything, the two adults everything is normal, but the little grandson, who just started kindergarten, would often point under the bed and the cabinet and shout spider! Spider!”
”Son and daughter-in-law looked all over the house did not see a spider, I pondered this matter may be related to Zhu Xinruo, simply contracted under the peach forest, moved to the cabin inside, want to find Zhu Xinruo’s body.”
”I’m old, and I don’t know how many years I have to live, now I just have two wishes, one is to hope that my son and daughter are safe and sound, and the second is to find Zhu Xinruo.”
The oldest master held the black clothes in his hand and stood beside the coffin, he had already prepared everything, his voice turned low, as if he was talking to himself, “No matter whether we find find or not, this coffin can always be used.”
”Grandpa, don’t be so pessimistic, now that we know the exact location where the body is buried, we can call the police tomorrow to find Zhu Xinruo’s body.”
Exhuming a body like this is easy to destroy the scene and damage the body if you do it yourself, it’s best to hand it over to the police.
”It’s fine to hand it over to the police, but I want to go and confirm it first, I told the police when the case first happened that there was a body hidden in the peach forest, but they didn’t find it, I’m afraid that there will be another accident this time.” The old man carried his lamp and picked up his hoe.
”Good thing too.”
The rain outside had lightened up a lot, so Chen Ge carried his bag and the old man into the middle of the peach forest and found the peach tree right in the center.
They dug around the peach tree for half a day and didn’t see Zhu Xinrou’s body.
”It shouldn’t be.” Chen Ge felt that there was no need for Zhu Xinrou to deceive herself, after all, everything she did was for her own good.
”Hey, it looks like it’s not here.” The boss’s words were thick with disappointment.
”Wait a minute.” Chen Ge looked at the dead leaves of this peach tree, took out the Cranium Crushing Hammer from his backpack, and smashed it on top of the tree trunk.
The peach tree wasn’t much thicker and its branches shook.
”The roots of this tree seem to be necrotic, and the tree is probably empty underneath.”
The two of them worked together to dig up the soil around the peach tree, then pushed the trunk down.
Directly underneath the peach tree’s tangled roots and whiskers, there was a hole covered in cobwebs, and in the hole was a pair of barely discernible shapes of a woman’s feet.
”This is it!”
Zhu Xinrou was shoved vertically into the earth head-first, and the peach tree roots and whiskers above her were just enough to block her body.
”Help me …….”
At the sight of the corpse, Chen Ge’s black cell phone vibrated gently, and he took a few steps back and slid the screen to check for new messages.
