Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 98 No matter who it is, they must seize the opportunity.

It had already gotten dark.

The electrical wires in this yard have all aged out long ago.

They could only run a wire from Cheng Yong's house to set up a light.

After searching the cellar, they decided to move the bones upstairs first and bring them back to the city bureau.

The police have asked all the questions they wanted to ask.

Cheng Yong and Ge Yu planned to return to the old town.

After what happened next door, I really don't dare stay here tonight.

It just so happens that the other people are also going back, so we can hitch a ride together.

Ji Sheng and Cai Qinglian also stayed.

He said he would drive them back to Jinghai.

Cheng Yong and Ge Yu both refused.

After working for so long, Cheng Yong and Ge Yu made ginger soup.

Cheng Jue brought it to them.

Su Miaoyi told Ge Yu to go back first, and then she followed the police car.

Ge Yu was worried and curious about how she got so close to the police, but she never asked too many questions about her affairs, so she just told her to be careful.

I gave her the key to the apartment next door.

If they're cold, let them all go inside and warm up.

"There's still plenty of ginger soup left, remember to let everyone drink some to ward off the cold," Ge Yu instructed. "There's also some food left, just heat it up in the microwave."

"Okay, I understand," Su Miaoyi said. "Don't worry, drive carefully on the road. It's getting dark, so be safe."

“Don’t worry about us,” Ge Yu said.

"Let me know when you get home," Su Miaoyi said.

"it is good."

The family of three was divided into three different cars.

Just as Su Miaoyi was about to return to help after they left, Ji Sheng and Cai Qinglian came over again.

"Aren't you going back?" Ji Sheng asked. "We're leaving anyway, we'll take you with us."

Su Miaoyi looked at the two of them.

Cai Qinglian had been standing in high heels for too long, and she was almost unable to stand. Her face was full of fatigue.

Su Miaoyi knew that Ji Sheng had come to test her, wanting to know what her relationship with Zhuang Yanzheng was.

"I'm going to use this place to exorcise ghosts tonight, so I'm staying here. You guys go ahead," Su Miaoyi said without hesitation.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cai Qinglian said with a long face.

Ji Sheng glanced at her, then looked in Zhuang Yanzheng's direction: "Then we'll head back first. Take care of yourself."

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Cai Qinglian said, "Let's go back quickly. Coming to such an unlucky place is exhausting."

Ji Sheng glanced at her and got into the car.

Seeing that he wasn't waiting for her, Cai Qinglian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and got into the car as well.

The car drives away.

Cai Qinglian asked, "Did she agree?"

“No,” Ji Sheng said.

"Then why have we been here for so long? Who are these people? They're all country bumpkins who've never seen the world, chattering away, it's so annoying," Cai Qinglian said with disdain.

“If she doesn’t agree, you’ll have to live with someone like that from now on,” Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian was exhausted after a long day, and her emotions had reached a breaking point. Just as she was about to explode, she saw Ji Sheng looking over and held back: "But what can we do if she doesn't agree?"

Ji Sheng remained silent.

Cai Qinglian remained silent.

After a while, Ji Sheng said, "Even if Jiang Junrui is gone, perhaps there is still Zhuang Yanzheng."

Cai Qinglian looked at him: "Zhuang Yanzheng?"

"Didn't you notice that Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng are very familiar with each other?" Ji Sheng asked.

Cai Qinglian remained silent. "If the Zhuang family can help us, it's much safer than the Jiang family," Ji Sheng said. "The Jiang family is all-powerful now, but they're still in Jiangcheng. Besides, with their kind of shady business, they might get caught up in some evidence one day and lose everything."

Cai Qinglian thought for a moment: "How did Su Miaoyi get so close to Zhuang Yanzheng? It seems like she's working for the police station."

Ji Sheng thought for a moment but didn't say anything.

She wasn't just working for the police; they seemed to care about her and value her highly.

“Now that you mention it, I remember. Shen Yanzhou was also there when Cai Xi and I met her at the pet hospital,” Cai Qinglian said.

Hearing her words, Ji Sheng slammed on the brakes.

Because the road was slippery, the car slid sideways for a distance.

Cai Qinglian screamed in fright.

After regaining their composure, both of them were a little frightened.

Ji Sheng patted Cai Qinglian on the back, saying, "I forgot the road was slippery."

Cai Qinglian was so frightened that her heart pounded and she couldn't speak.

Fortunately, there were no cars in front or behind.

The car stopped for a while, and the two of them took a breather before continuing to drive forward.

Ji Sheng asked, "You mean Su Miaoyi and Shen Yanzhou are together?"

“Yes,” Cai Qinglian said. “During that time, my brother and Cai Xi were both arrested, and I was so anxious that I forgot about this whole thing. We had a few words exchanged back then, and Shen Yanzhou seemed to be very protective of her.”

Ji Sheng remained silent.

Cai Qinglian asked, "Why are they getting so close?"

“The Shen family and the Zhuang family have always had a good relationship. Shen Yanzhou and Zhuang Yanzheng are also close. Perhaps Su Miaoyi is only close to one of them, and naturally knows the other one as well,” Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian pounded her legs.

“But no matter who we get close to, if we can seize this opportunity, it will be a turning point for us,” Ji Sheng said.

“Do we really have to rely on her?” Cai Qinglian said. “That master once said that if my first child was a girl, our family would go downhill from then on. That master has always been very accurate in his predictions. And now it has come true. Even though we got rid of her, we still couldn’t escape this calamity.”

“You can’t trust everything. Right now, she’s the only one we have left,” Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian was a little annoyed: "What's so good about her? Why do people all get close to her?"

"No matter what, we must get along well with her," Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian took a deep breath.

Ji Sheng didn't say anything more.

They carried the bones up from the cellar, bit by bit.

The nails that had been driven in were all pulled out and put into the evidence bag.

After all the visible bones in the cellar were moved up, they began carefully digging through the ground to find the remaining bones.

The entire ground was turned upside down, but several finger bones were still missing.

I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked.

“Although the environmental conditions here aren’t great, judging from the condition of the rest of the bones, they shouldn’t decompose,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Could it be that he had a severed finger before he was born?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“It doesn’t look like it based on the other finger bones,” Yan Cheng said.

Zhuang Yanzheng sighed, "We've already searched them all. If there's nothing there, let's go back first."

Yan Cheng nodded.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Su Miaoyi: "Go up first."

Su Miaoyi climbed the ladder, and Zhuang Yanzheng then had Yan Cheng go up. He held a lamp and shone it around below before following him up as well.

The bones were placed on the vehicle, and the rest of the items were also loaded onto the vehicle.

Su Miaoyi said to Zhuang Yanzheng, "Let everyone go in, wash their hands, and have a drink of water. My uncle and aunt have left some food for us, so please make do with it."

"It's fine whether you eat or not. I'm already tired of eating on the first day of the New Year." Zhuang Yanzheng told everyone to go in and drink water, and those who wanted to eat could eat.

He and Yan Cheng watched the car from outside.

After a while, other police officers came out and replaced the two of them.

Then Su Miaoyi turned off the power and put out the fire in the house, and followed them directly back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
　Goodnight everybody
