Chapter 174 Discovery in the Courtyard
Shen Nian immediately ran out and looked in that direction. It was actually the inconspicuous courtyard gate? However, this courtyard gate couldn't hide anything! Her gaze then shifted to the ground below the courtyard gate.
At this moment, the entire yard had been dug up almost to the bottom, but still nothing was found.
"Captain Li! We didn't find anything! Could it be that someone made a false alarm? In fact, there is nothing in this yard at all!" A police officer shouted anxiously.
Li Shunli straightened up and looked around the yard again. He said nothing, but just ordered the policeman to go into the house with Zhang Gongan and bring Li Chaoliang and the other two out and prepare to return to the station.
Li Chaoliang and others, accompanied by the police, slowly walked out of the house. Although the three of them had put on clothes at this time, the sharp gazes of the crowd made it seem as if they were still naked.
"Captain Li! Are we going back to the station now?" Public Security Officer Zhang stepped forward and asked Li Shunli.
Li Shunli gave Li Chaoliang and the other two a deep look, then turned to the captain and said, "Captain, thank you all for your hard work tonight! You should all go home early!"
Although the captain had some doubts in his mind, he didn't dare to ask too much and could only nod repeatedly in agreement.
Li Shunli then turned around and said to Xiao Zhang and the other police officers, "Pack up and return to the station."
"Yes!" the police officers answered in unison.
Shen Nian didn't know what Li Shunli was going to do. Was he just going to pack up and go back?
She was a little anxious, but fortunately she was still calm and knew that there was no point in being anxious. She couldn't run out of the space and tell others that you were digging here.
Li Shunli kept staring at Li Chaoliang and the other two, while Li Chaocai and the other two kept their heads down, so it was impossible to see their expressions clearly.
However, just as they walked through the courtyard gate, Li Chaocai, who was walking in front, glanced somewhere with the corner of his eye. Li Chaoliang also glanced at it, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, seeming a little proud.
"Xiao Zhang! Let's not go back to the station yet. Take them back to the house!" Li Shunli suddenly shouted.
"Yes! Captain Li!" Policeman Xiao Zhang didn't ask anything, turned around and led the three people back.
"Captain! I'm going to trouble you to help dig here again." Li Shunli pointed to the gate of the courtyard and continued.
Although the team leader was full of doubts, when he saw Li Shunli's unquestionable look, he nodded and called on the members to continue digging.
Li Chaoliang and Li Chaocai looked at each other again, confused as to why they had returned after having already left. Seeing Li Shunli pointing in the direction, the two men, who had been somewhat smug just now, were now sweating profusely. Had the police discovered them?
As time went by, the depth of the excavation continued to increase. Suddenly, someone shouted: "Captain! There is something here!"
As he spoke, the man bent down and picked up the hard object he had dug up, and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why is this a bone?"
In the room, Li Chaoliang and Li Chaocai's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally died down.
Li Shunli ran over, took the bone from the man's hand, and said coldly, "That's what I'm looking for."
"What? So this is the bone we want to dig out? Public Security Comrade, what animal's bone is this?" the man continued to ask.
"These are human bones." Li Shunli said simply and clearly.
"What! Human bones! You said these are human bones?"
The man cried out in surprise, and quickly looked at his hand that had just taken the bone, wiping it desperately on his clothes.
"Comrade Gong'an, you said these are human bones, then whose bones are they? Why would Li Chaoliang's family bury human bones?" a member asked curiously.
"We don't know about this yet, but we will notify you once the investigation is clear! You all go back first! This is the scene and cannot be destroyed." After Li Shunli finished speaking, he signaled the public security personnel on the scene to maintain order and evacuate the crowd.
None of the members wanted to leave. They all wanted to know whose body it was and why it was buried here, so they gathered outside and kept discussing it.
An auntie said, "According to the police, there's a person buried under the wall of Li Chaoliang's house. Who do you think it is?"
"Who knows? But it's all just bones, so it must have been buried here for a long time!"
"Li Chaoliang is so brave! He can actually sleep even though there's a corpse guarding him every day!"
"Hey? Has Li Chaoliang's wife also been gone for several years and never come back?" Someone suddenly asked this question.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Li Chaoliang buried his own wife under his own wall?!"
"I didn't say that. I was just guessing!"
Li Shunli has collected all the bones and is preparing to bring them back to the bureau for further research.
Under Li Shunli's instructions, Li Chaoliang and the other two were brought out again. He looked at Li Chaoliang with a serious expression and said, "Li Chaoliang, do you have anything to say about the corpse in your yard?"
When Li Chaoliang saw what was in Li Shunli's hand, his lips began to tremble. He seemed to want to argue something, but in the end he just collapsed to the ground powerlessly and was immediately pulled up by Public Security Officer Xiao Zhang.
"Take them away! Pack up!" Li Shunli gave an order, and the three were taken onto a ox cart by public security personnel.
The members watched this scene and their chatter intensified. Although they didn't dare to approach the police, their curiosity and speculation grew like wild weeds.
"Li Chaoliang usually looks quite honest, how could he do such a thing?"
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. Who would have thought that someone was buried in his yard?"
"Hey, didn't he say that his wife ran away from home after they had an argument? When his wife suddenly disappeared, the villagers said she ran off with someone. Now it seems that things may not be that simple."
"Could it be that he and Li Chaocai have been together for a long time? I just saw their postures! They are very skilled!"
"Oh my God! He wouldn't have killed his wife just to live with Li Chaocai!"
After the farce was over, Shen Nian did not see the Li family come out to make a fuss, and he didn't know what was going on because no one notified him.
In order to prevent any accidents on the road, Shen Nian sat directly on the ox cart and followed Li Shunli and others to the police station. After watching the three people being taken into the police station, he returned to Shuangxi Brigade with peace of mind.
Along the way, Shen Nian discovered that everything she did had been going smoothly lately! First, Sun Yue'e said she would give her gold bars, then the chickens in the chicken farm started laying eggs, and now she had successfully sent Li Chaocai and the other two to the police station. She decided that she had to stay a little quiet lately...
