Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Ancestor is Calling the Police!
A group of people had been waiting at the construction site for about half an hour when finally someone entered the site.
There were quite a few people coming in.
Jiangli heard the commotion, looked up, and saw a familiar face.
Wen Zishu saw Jiangli, waved excitedly, and hopped over.
Jiangli clicked his tongue, “How did you end up here?”
“Didn’t you hear it from Brother San?” Wen Zishu said with a grin. “Brother San told me, Abbot, you needed help here and I happened to be nearby settling some matters, so I came along with the police to check things out.”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Jiangli and added in a low voice, “I’ve already briefed the police on the basic situation along with Brother San.”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli gave him a look, “I didn’t expect you to be so reliable.”
“Of course!” Wen Zishu patted his chest proudly. “I am an extremely dependable man!”
Jiangli chuckled lightly, without exposing his lie.
At this moment, the police approached as well.
Jiangli noted their uniformed attire, which probably bore some similarity to the official constable uniforms of the past.
Seeing them approach, Wen Zishu dropped his carefree demeanor and hurriedly made introductions between the two parties.
The Fu Family had some connections in this area, and the people they brought in were old acquaintances of the family.
The leader of the investigative team was named Song Taishan.
After a brief round of introductions, Wen Zishu said, “Regarding the situation, Captain Song has basically got a grasp on it, so they’ve also brought equipment. If there’s really someone beneath us, we should be able to find out.”
Xia Xin saw the police dogs and high-tech equipment they brought, similar to what he had seen in TV dramas, and couldn’t help but wonder, “But… if the person is dead, can this equipment still locate them?”
“We have our methods,” declared Song Taishan with an authoritative face, stern and serious. “But are you certain that the person you’re looking for is dead and reduced to bones beneath here?”
Liu Rongrong, gathering her strength and following the script given by Jiangli and Xia Xin earlier, affirmed confidently, “Yes, we have evidence—we found a child’s clothes here before.”
Jiangli took out the clothes he had brought earlier.
The clothes were clean, clearly just an excuse.
But they had already been briefed beforehand.
Song Taishan acted as if he hadn’t noticed anything amiss and was about to speak when a shout came from afar.
“Hey, hey, what are you all doing here? Who let you in?”
Everyone looked up to see a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform approaching.
A few workers followed behind him.
As he came over and saw the police, the man’s expression immediately turned to one of panic.
“Oh, Officer, what brings you here?” he said with a forced smile, attempting to shake hands with Song Taishan. “We have always been following regulations in our construction, without any faults…”
Song Taishan dodged his hand and said sternly, “However, someone reported that they saw you burying a body here. Is that true?”
The security guard’s face turned pale. “Nonsense! That’s completely absurd! Officer, we are all honest folks here, how could we do such a thing? It’s utterly unrealistic!”
“Really?” Song Taishan eyed him. “Whether it’s as you say, we still need to investigate.”
Upon hearing this, the security guard forced a smile, “Well, Officer, we are still under construction here. It’s probably not convenient, right? And you don’t have solid evidence, do you? Investigating our site doesn’t seem proper, does it?”
