Chapter 96: 3 lives, no need to look for them now
The others were in the same mood. When they saw the turned-over soil, they all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, thinking that they were too late again.
"Since we're here, let's keep digging~" Wang Xiaohu didn't care. No matter how much he dug, the things wouldn't belong to him anyway. Looking at the terrain, it didn't look like there would be any good things there. What's more, it had been dug by someone, so there would be even less good things.
Of course, he didn't mention the golden Buddha. If he had, it would have to be returned. Besides, the villagers exchanged the golden Buddha for food, which seemed like a good thing. It was better than handing over a banner.
After digging for about ten minutes, Wang Xiaohu handed the shovel to the security officer nearby and asked him to continue digging.
"Why don't we try digging in another grave?" Jin Cancan asked another woman named Han Li.
"This..." Han Li didn't dare to make a decision on her own and looked at Professor Guo.
"Okay, take the smaller one, you two go and try it." Professor Guo pointed to a newer small mound. It couldn't even be called a small mound, as it looked only about 20 centimeters high. It was obviously specially designed for women.
Just after Wang Xiaohu sat down for a while, he heard a scream, and then he saw Han Li turned into a four-legged beast, crawling towards him.
"Don't panic, what did you dig up?" Wang Xiaohu helped the other person up and comforted him. As for why he was not in a hurry to go over, it was because Jin Cancan was still watching there. She didn't have any other extreme behavior. She probably dug up something particularly scary.
"There are...there are dead people...a lot of them." Han Li pointed backwards with her back. If Wang Xiaohu hadn't held her back, she would not have been able to stand.
Fang Yucheng, who was also slacking off at the side, had a bad feeling and looked at Wang Xiaohu. Wang Xiaohu nodded and motioned him to go over and take a look first, then helped Han Li sit on a big rock nearby.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a dead person. How can you do archaeology if you are afraid of dead people?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile. This was all he could comfort her. The girl looked pretty, but her personality was too weak. She didn't say much along the way, and even when she did, she spoke very softly.
However, Wang Xiaohu was a little surprised that she and Jin Cancan got along well.
When Wang Xiaohu came to the edge of the pit, he saw the three bodies inside and fell silent. He recognized two of them: Zhang Jianguo from the courtyard and his father Zhang Wannian.
"Do you know this person?" Wang Xiaohu asked when he saw Fang Yucheng was silent. The remaining corpse looked 60% like him.
"This is my cousin Fang Baogen. I have been looking for him these days, but I didn't expect..." For some reason, Fang Yucheng did not feel sad, but instead felt a sense of relief.
"Notify the higher-ups to send people! Seal off the scene." Wang Xiaohu gave the order. Three lives were a major case, but the higher-ups might not necessarily send people because there were already security and public security departments here. Who else could they send?
But the procedure must be followed. In fact, when it comes to asking for help, it means writing a report and asking for the right to handle the case. Don't let yourself be commended when the case is solved.
"No, you can call for help, but you can't seal off the site and the archaeological work cannot stop." Mr. Guo was the first to stand up and object.
"Give me a reason to convince me."
Wang Xiaohu didn't show a good face to these people this time, and he didn't even stand up. How could you be so stupid? Did I tell you to stop archaeology? Just do it as usual.
"This archaeological activity has been approved by the higher-ups and cannot be delayed for even a moment. Captain Wang, you cannot take on this responsibility."
"What you said makes sense. Since we can't stop...you just continue digging. Everyone in the security department should put down their work and keep an eye on the site and don't let anyone wander around." Wang Xiaohu was a little disgusted with this group of intellectuals.
When Mr. Guo heard this, he said unhappily, "Captain Wang, what do you mean? If you don't help us dig, how long will it take us to finish digging..."
"The security department's mission is to protect everyone's safety, and I am only responsible for unlocking the door. The security department is not responsible for any other matters. Well, if you have the energy, you might as well dig a few more times. We have to deal with a homicide case and may not have time to take care of you, but I think it should be safe here." Wang Xiaohu is a soft-hearted person, and it was the same when he was in the army. He often challenged people to duels.
Mr. Guo was speechless because Wang Xiaohu was following the procedures and did not violate any regulations.
Jin Cancan didn't say anything, but was carefully examining the body. This time, she must solve the case before Wang Xiaohu, make a comeback and let him know that women can do it too.
"Why are you two father and son doing this? There's no need to look for each other now. You can still be together forever." Wang Xiaohu never expected that Zhang Jianguo would be so bold to come with others to rob tombs, and it seemed that they were robbed by gangsters and were killed by gangsters.
Zhang Wannian came over to offer his life, and the other party was quite nice, allowing them to meet in the underground.
"Carry the people out first. Everyone can come and take a look. Anyone with clues or new ideas can raise them." Wang Xiaohu took a quick look and found that the three people were attacked on the back of the head. This was probably the fatal injury.
"Alright."
Of course, this kind of hard work is done by the minions in the security department. Carrying corpses is also a kind of contribution. They can apply for more subsidies later. If they are able to find any clues, they can even get promoted.
Everyone started to get busy. After Wang Xiaohu examined the body, he began to survey the surrounding environment to see if there was any murder weapon or something.
Jin Cancan also followed and kept tailing like a follower.
"Captain Jin, what are you doing?"
"It's a complete coincidence. I want to investigate too." Jin Cancan felt that Wang Xiaohu was lucky and was able to find clues by following them, unlike her, who always returned empty-handed.
Wang Xiaohu kicked away the leaves as he walked, and dug the soil from time to time. Although Jin Cancan didn't understand why he did this, he followed suit.
"Ah~" When Jin Cancan dug up a place, he saw that the soil was red and there were many small insects crawling around in it.
Wang Xiaohu heard the sound and ran back: "It is true, let's check the soil nearby."
"Great!" Jin Cancan shouted excitedly. This was discovered by her, so she deserves half the credit.
Finally, they managed to find a way to the grave.
"It seems that this is the first crime scene. After the murder, the person was dragged here and buried. I don't know if the three people were killed in the same place. Let everyone investigate and see if there is any murder weapon, such as a hammer, stone or something." Things turned out to be the same as Wang Xiaohu thought.
When he saw three grown men being killed and buried together, he knew that the murderer must be very strong and that the pit would be difficult to dig. Now that he saw so many people being dragged down, he was even more certain of it.
After a few hours, no other bloodstains were found, and no murder weapons were found around. This was normal, because if the murder was committed with an iron tool, it would not have been thrown away. Iron was very precious at that time.
The security personnel who were sent to the brigade headquarters to make a phone call also came back. Just as Wang Xiaohu predicted, because Zhang Wannian was from the steel rolling mill, the two sides worked together to solve the case. Fortunately, there was no ridiculous three-day deadline to solve the case.
"Did they say to block the news?"
"Let us decide as the case may be."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Xiaohu, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
"I think we've found a few dead tomb robbers. Let's transport the bodies to the police station in the nearby town. You're needed to coordinate this matter." Fortunately, the weather has turned cooler now, otherwise the stench would have been overwhelming. However, Wang Xiaohu has a keen nose and still smelled a faint stench that went straight into his soul and was nauseating.
Compared to this, he prefers the smell of blood.
"No problem, I can handle this." Fang Yucheng nodded in agreement without hesitation.
