More than an hour later, Director Xu walked out of the black coal mine with an unhappy look on his face.

It is conceivable how arrogant the bosses of these illegal coal mines are. They don’t even take the police station chief seriously.

"Director Xu, what's going on?"

When Jiang Jianjun saw Director Xu coming out, he went up to him and asked.

"Well, it's fine. But they didn't tell us where the body was buried. They wanted us to find it ourselves. These bastards are not human beings."

Director Xu cursed angrily.

"Director Xu, thank you very much. I can find where the body is buried."

I stepped forward and said to Director Xu.

"You, can you find it?"

Director Xu looked incredulous. He looked at me suspiciously, then at Jiang Jianhua.

"Oh, Director Xu, this Liu Feng is very capable. She helped solve several cases in our station."

Jiang Jianhua explained.

"Well, then, you can try it. My ability is limited, so this is the only way I can do."

Director Xu didn't believe me at all and just wanted to give it a try.

I looked at the sun in the sky. It was 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It would be completely dark by 7 o'clock, and I said again.

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, I may have to trouble you to wait another hour until it gets dark before we can look for it."

"What are you doing? Can't you find it in the daylight? Why do you have to wait until dark?"

Director Xu was puzzled again.

"Director Xu, just listen to her. If she's not sure, our Director Xiao won't ask her to come with us."

Jiang Jianhua comforted again.

"Then let's wait! There is no other way." Director Xu looked helpless.

Knowing that the journey would be long and there would be nothing to eat in the wild mountains, Chief Xu asked the police officers to bring some cakes, steamed buns and drinking water for us to fill our stomachs before coming.

After eating, after a while, seeing that it was getting dark, I took out the soul-locking bag and released Huang Bo.

When he came out, he saw that Mr. Huang looked haggard and felt very distressed. Arriving at this place, he felt even more resentful, but he was a little afraid of the police badge on the uniforms of Chief Xiao and his colleagues.

In order to prevent Director Xu and the others from noticing anything, I winked at him.

He understood and took us towards the place where his and that fool's bodies were buried.

I walked in front, followed by Jiang Jianhua, Wang Erming and Huang's father.

After all, Mr. Huang is over 5 years old, and he was still a little exhausted from the long journey. He followed us with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Wang Erming supported him all the way.

"Xiao Jiang, is this little girl reliable?"

After walking for a long time and seeing me not stop, Director Xu became a little anxious and questioned me again.

"It's okay, Director Xu, just follow her."

Because the road was full of thorns, we followed Huang Bo for almost 50 minutes. He stopped on a small slope and pointed to a pile of raised rocks and told me.

"Liu Feng, it's right here."

"Comrade Jiang, Director Xu is here."

I turned around and said to them.

Chief Xu shone his flashlight towards the pile of rocks and said to the six police officers following him,

"Come here and dig it up and take a look."

Until now, Director Xu still doesn't believe me.

The six police officers started digging with shovels and hoes they brought.

"My little Bo!"

Dad Huang was in tears. He wiped his tears while kneeling on the ground and used his hands to move the stone that was pressing on him.

Huang Bo was standing in the distance, also in great pain.

Wang Erming stepped forward to dissuade him, but I signaled him not to do so and to let the old man vent.

After digging for a while, the corner of the clothes appeared.

"Director Xu, come and see, there really is a dead body."

The police officer who was digging up the body covered his nose and cried out in shock.

We all gathered together to take a look, and saw that there were indeed two bodies placed side by side. One of them was highly decomposed and gave off a foul odor. That must be the idiot's.

There was another body that was relatively less decayed, but its face could no longer be seen.

"Xiaobo, Xiaobo!"

Huang Dad rushed towards the corpse. Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, he could identify from the clothes that the corpse that was relatively less decayed was Huang Bo.

It stinks so much, Jiang Jianhua grabbed Huang's father and said to Director Xu.

"Director Xu, this is it. Please help put it in the bag."

At this moment, my tears couldn't stop flowing out.

They put the two bodies into the body bags they brought with them.

Mr. Huang had collapsed on the ground crying. Jiang Jianhua and Wang Erming helped him up and followed the police officers who were carrying the body.

When they got to the car, they placed the two bodies in the back of the van we came in. The back seats had been removed long ago, so they could fit them in.

At the signal of Chief Xu, the car slowly drove towards the town under the cover of night.

We didn't drive until 8 o'clock the next morning before we returned to the town. All of us, more than a dozen people, looked tired.

Director Xu jumped down from the front police car and spoke to us.

"Comrade Jiang, it's not convenient for you to take this body back. I'll take you to the county crematorium to cremate it directly. You can take the ashes back with you."

"Okay, thank you Director Xu, you have worked so hard."

Jiang Jianjun once again expressed his gratitude to Director Xu.

So Director Xu took us to the crematorium without stopping. Under his arrangement, we didn't queue up and directly cremated the bodies of Huang Bo and that idiot.

When the staff handed the urn containing Huang Bo's ashes to Huang's father, he held the urn and bowed deeply three times to Chief Xu and several police officers who were traveling with him.

He turned to Jiang Jianhua, Wang Erming and I, bowed deeply, and we quickly stepped forward to stop him.

In order to express our gratitude to Director Xu and his team, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so Jiang Jianjun and I discussed finding a restaurant nearby to treat Director Xu and his team to a meal.

Chief Xu and the police officers, who were tired and hungry, did not refuse. We drove to the county, found a restaurant, and ordered a table of dishes.

Everyone was obviously very hungry, but most of them couldn't eat any more after just a few bites.

Huang's father just held Huang Bo's urn and didn't eat a single bite.

After the meal, we once again expressed our sincere gratitude to Director Xu and some others.

Director Xu sent a car to take us directly to the bus station.

We returned along the same route with Huang Bo's urn, and it was seven days later when we arrived at Houhu Town.

Along the way, Huang's father held Huang Bo's urn and didn't eat much. He only drank some water occasionally. When he returned home, he had lost a lot of weight.

We were so tired that when we got to the town, Director Xiao sent a car to take us back.

Wang Erming and I went back home, and the car took Huang's father directly back home.

"Grandma Xu, my dad asked me to ask you to go to my house and help look after the grave."

Early the next morning, while I was still asleep, I heard a slightly hoarse woman's voice talking to my grandmother.

I quickly got up from the bed, feeling my back and waist aching and as if my whole body was about to fall apart.

I walked to the main hall holding my waist, and saw a girl who looked a bit like Huang Qing standing in the main hall and talking to my grandmother.
