Chapter 189 Severed Limbs
"Dig it."
Xiao Jiu Jiu immediately squatted down and dug around on the ground with her little shovel.
"Wang!"
Cream cried out: "[SuSu, it's SuSu!]"
"You can smell it too, can't you!"
Xiao Jiu Jiu sniffed and could clearly smell the stench of rotten meat.
The smell is incredibly foul, like a mixture of rotten eggs and perfume, with the added odor of feces.
"yue!"
Xiao Jiujiu almost vomited.
She quickly took two steps back and took a deep breath of fresh air: "Let me prepare myself before I come back."
Taking a breath, Xiao Jiu Jiu ran back to the pit, took out her small shovel, and continued digging.
As the surrounding soil was dug away, a black plastic bag was revealed.
Xiao Jiujiu frowned and poked at it with the shovel.
The contents of this bag appear to be rotten; you can hear the sound of rotting mud when you poke it.
She took the bag out and turned back to get some fresh air.
When she returned, she opened the bag.
Inside was a section of an arm.
By this time, the arm was already festering, and the flesh seemed to have fallen off.
The man was also wearing a gold ring on his hand.
By this time, the ring had been deformed by the swollen flesh.
"Wang!"
It's Susu! That's Susu's favorite ring, a gift from her mother.
[Su Su, Su Su!]
Cream rushed forward impatiently, but was caught by Little Nine: "Can you stop rushing around recklessly? What if you crush her flesh?"
After coaxing the cream away a bit, Xiao Jiu Jiu took the whole plastic bag out and put it aside.
There was only a severed arm in the plastic bag; nothing else. We need to keep searching.
"What do you need? I'll help you." Cream ran to Little Nine's side and asked considerately.
Xiao Jiu Jiu pulled a tissue from her pocket, tore it in half, and stuffed it into her nose: "I don't need your help, I can do it myself."
She took out her smartwatch and took a picture of the ring on the corpse.
"What is this for?" Cream asked curiously.
Xiao Jiujiu patiently explained, "I'll have someone look for this ring and confirm the identity of its owner."
"No, this smell is too strong."
She got up and ran away, breathing heavily.
Cream ran after her, pleading, "You have to help Susu, please!"
"I know."
Xiao Jiujiu took a breath, took out her watch, and sent a message to Qin Yuhai: Uncle, help me find out who owns this ring.
Ideally, it should be a Su dog. I'm not sure which Su dog, you can look it up. I also have a Samoyed.
After sending the message, Xiao Jiu Jiu felt it wasn't safe enough, so she sent another message to Bai Jianan.
I used the same script on him.
Brother Bai is a computer expert, so these things should be a piece of cake for him.
After dealing with the situation, Xiao Jiu Jiu then made a call to the police.
"Hello, this is..."
"Hello, police officer. My name is Xiao Jiu, and I'm a student at XX Kindergarten. I've found a skeleton in the bamboo grove at school. Could you please come over here?"
Before the other person could speak, Xiao Jiu Jiu said pitifully, "Uncle, I'm so scared, waaaah~"
Judging from her voice, Xiao Jiu was about to cry.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly reassured him, "Little friend, do you have an adult with you right now?"
If there is no adult present, please find an adult in your family.
"I... I'm not home, I'm at kindergarten, waaaaah, it's so scary, uncle, it's a corpse!"
A corpse with only one arm remaining, just like Yang Guo!
As Xiao Jiu Jiu spoke, she pretended to be scared and said, "It's so scary, so scary."
"Little friend, you even know Yang Guo? Please wait here for a moment, we'll be dispatching the police right away."
As soon as the call ended, people from all sides rushed over.
"Wow~"
Cream cried out to the corpse, looking pitiful.
Xiao Jiujiu reassured her, "It's okay, let's wait until we confirm. I need to keep looking to see if there are any more."
"By the way, Cream, stop barking. Smell again to see if there are any other loose parts." Little Nine-Nine waved the spatula in her hand, looking very serious.
Creamy ran over happily, sniffed around, and finally ran back to Little Nine.
"How is it?" Xiao Jiujiu looked down at the cream.
Cream shook its head: [That's all, SuSu only has this much left.]
"Are there any other people?" Xiao Jiu Jiu asked in confusion.
Cream shook her head again: "There's no one else."
"okay, I get it."
Little Nine-Nine dropped the shovel and stayed with Cream, guarding the bag and waiting for people to come over.
"Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu?"
Just then, the teacher's voice came from outside the bamboo grove.
She pursed her lips, afraid that her teacher would be terrified if she knew what had happened, so she quickly left a message for Qin Xin.
In the classroom, Qin Xin, having received Xiao Jiu Jiu's signal, immediately went out to find the teacher and told her that Xiao Jiu Jiu had gone home and would come back in the afternoon.
Upon receiving the call, Qin Yuhai immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over there without stopping.
He happened to be nearby and arrived before the police.
He came in through the back door, and after seeing the situation, Qin Yuhai put on a mask and walked to Xiao Jiu Jiu's side: "What's the current situation?"
"They probably dug up this section of the arm."
Xiao Jiujiu patted the black bag containing the arm, then looked around: "That's all. We didn't dig anything else out."
"It stinks! This body has been rotting for about a week, and you just dug it up like this?"
He pulled out a face mask: "Go put on this mask. You don't need your uncle to teach you, do you?"
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Jiu Jiu put on her mask and looked at them seriously.
After inspecting the scene, Qin Yuhai's gaze fell on Cream: "Are you sure there's only one arm here? What if a dog ate it?"
"No, Cream hasn't eaten anything in a long time," Xiao Jiu Jiu answered instinctively.
Qin Yuhai: "How do you know its name?"
"Woof!" Cream barked softly, not daring to bark any further.
This human looks a bit scary, I'm afraid.
"I just called it that randomly. I like Samoyeds; they're all white and chubby, like cream cakes." Xiao Jiu Jiu said with a faint smile.
Qin Yuhai glanced at the cream: "It's too dirty. It's best not to bring it home to keep as a pet. Take it to be cleaned and given away."
"Let's get down to business, Uncle."
Seeing Cream grinding its teeth as if it wanted to bite someone, Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly pulled Qin Yu Hai away to change the subject.
Qin Yuhai stared at Xiao Jiujiu: "How did you know there were corpses and dismembered bodies here?"
"I heard a dog barking while I was playing, so I ran over."
Then the dog was digging at the ground and was so skinny, so I gave it some food.
I thought there were its toys buried underneath, so I dug it up, but I didn't expect to find this..."
Xiao Jiu Jiu revealed only half of her meaning, her large, bright eyes looking innocently and adorably at Qin Yu Hai.
Qin Yuhai wasn't buying it and reached out to cover Xiao Jiujiu's eyes: "Alright, stop looking at me like that, tell me what happened first."
He crouched down to examine the soil, then looked around: "It's a bit colder here than outside. Are you sure there's only one arm here?"
“It’s confirmed, there’s only this one left.” Little Nine nodded and pointed to Cream: “Cream only calls out here, nowhere else.”
"Wang!"
【That's it! 】
Qin Yuhai glanced at the skinny Cream and frowned slightly: "So thin, looks like you're starving."
"Mmm, you ate several of my big meat buns." Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded vigorously.
Qin Yuhai then asked, "How did you communicate? How did you know what it was trying to express?"
He keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Well, I didn't sense any yin energy. Its owner's soul has probably been scattered; it must have been tortured."
Xiao Jiujiu pursed her lips.
She didn't know the specifics, and neither did the cream.
All we know is that the owner never returned after leaving.
When it finally found its way here by memory, only a corpse remained.
"Did you tell Yu Zhinian about this?" Qin Yuhai asked as he continued to survey the surroundings.
Xiao Jiu Jiu shook her head: "This kind of thing isn't a special event, is it?"
It must be murder? Isn't that how criminal cases are defined?
She glanced at the information Bai Jianan had compiled on her watch and answered cautiously.
Qin Yuhai raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Jiu is quite clever. Yes, this is a criminal case."
After the police arrived, Qin Yuhai immediately contacted them.
Forensic experts and technicians examined the scene together.
After some investigation, they determined that there was a severed limb in this one spot, but not anywhere else.
"We can't confirm the deceased's identity yet; we need to go back and do a DNA test. Would you like to come to the police station with us, little one?"
The lead officer glanced at Qin Yuhai and smiled, "Advisor Qin, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Yes, I'm this child's uncle, and I happen to be nearby." Qin Yuhai stood in front of Xiao Jiu Jiu.
Xiao Jiujiu tugged at his clothes: "Uncle, what's this?"
“This is the policeman for this area, you can call him Uncle Wu.” Qin Yuhai glanced at the distance.
The police had just set up the cordon when some teachers came over to join in the fun.
They blocked us from the outside.
Only the principal walked over, wiping his sweat.
After questioning, the principal said helplessly, "I really didn't know that this area is open on Saturdays and Sundays, so..."
"I'll handle the communication."
After speaking with the principal, Qin Yuhai told him, "Have the teachers comfort the children and prevent them from overthinking or knowing things they shouldn't know."
"Good good."
Seeing that the principal agreed, Qin Yuhai said to Captain Wu, "Let's go out through the back door today, there are fewer people there."
"Don't let anyone else know. There are plenty of talented people in the school. Don't make things difficult for him before the official case comes out."
"it is good."
The two sides reached an agreement.
Xiao Jiu Jiu, Cream, and Qin Yu Hai, along with their dog, went to the police station.
On the way, Xiao Jiu Jiu's watch rang.
She glanced down and saw it was a message from Bai Jianan.
Bai Jianan: After comparison, some clues were found.
The deceased was most likely an actress named Su Qianqian, whose stage name after her debut was Su Shu.
She was a minor actress who had played several minor roles, served as the lead actress in short dramas, and played a supporting role in large-scale television dramas.
This actress owns a Samoyed named Cream, and this butterfly ring is an older design, quite valuable.
Su Qianqian's family isn't wealthy, so the ring's origin might be a family heirloom, or perhaps a gift from Bill.
After reading the information, Xiao Jiu Jiu sent a message to Bai Jianan.
Nine: Thank you so much, Brother Bai, you've been a huge help! ~ *kiss*
Bai Jianan: Hmm
Bai Jianan put down his phone, his face full of smiles.
Qin Yuhai turned his head to look at Xiao Jiujiu: "Who were you chatting with just now?"
“It was an older brother who told me some information.” Xiao Jiu Jiu glanced at the policeman in front of her but didn’t say anything.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Captain Wu overheard Xiao Jiu Jiu's conversation with Qin Yu Hai: "What news did your brother tell you?"
“Emmm…” Xiao Jiu Jiu didn’t say anything.
Captain Wu then asked, "Did you contact someone else before calling the police?"
"Mmm, I'm scared..." Little Jiu Jiu said aggrievedly, "Uncle, please don't scold me."
Team Leader Wu: ...
“I didn’t scold you. What you did was right, kid. But if you have any important clues, you should tell everyone so we can help the deceased,” Captain Wu said earnestly.
Xiao Jiujiu sent the information to Qin Yuhai.
Qin Yuhai exchanged a glance with her and said, "I have some information here. Let's send it to Captain Wu."
"it is good."
Team Leader Wu nodded.
They had clues, so their search was naturally much faster than the police's aimless search.
"The deceased's severed limbs have been taken for DNA testing, and we'll compare them with the data in the database first."
Team Leader Wu then offered an explanation.
After seeing the message from Qin Yuhai, Captain Wu said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Now we have a direction."
He spoke with the technical staff before saying, "We will investigate as soon as possible."
Back at the police station, the police didn't take Xiao Jiujiu to the interrogation room, but instead took her to an office where a female officer questioned her.
The policewoman smiled at Xiao Jiu Jiu and gave her a piece of candy: "Little girl, how did you figure it out?"
"I heard the sound when I was playing in the sand with a shovel, so I ran over to see what was going on and found the puppy."
The puppy kept digging at the ground, looking very anxious, so I went to look for the hole it had dug.
And that's how I found it.
Xiao Jiu Jiu lowered her head, looking somewhat frightened.
The policewoman nodded: "Okay, I understand."
She smiled and gave Xiao Jiu Jiu a few more candies.
After asking a few more questions and finding nothing wrong, the policewoman said, "Okay, Xiao Jiu, Auntie will take you out."
"Okay."
Little Jiu Jiu nodded obediently.
Once outside the room, she ran to Qin Yuhai's side and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Uncle."
"It's alright, Xiao Jiu. They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
Qin Yuhai inquired.
Little Jiu Jiu shook her head: "Of course not, Auntie is very nice, she even gave me lots of candy!"
She said with a smile.
"Auntie, may I take this dog with me?"
Before leaving, Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at the pitiful Cream and asked a question.
The group exchanged glances: "We don't know who this young lady is yet; we need to compare and confirm before we can draw a conclusion."
"You can take it with you for now."
"Okay."
Xiao Jiu Jiu patted Cream's head: "I'll take you to get a check-up and take a bath while we're at it."
"Woof!" Cream wanted to rub against Little Nine, but then realized it was dirty and gave up.
After leaving the pet store.
Cream had all its fur shaved off, leaving only a short little bit, like a greyhound.
The vet dewormed it and examined its body, saying, "It's just hungry, nothing else is wrong."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
Xiao Jiu Jiu, carrying cream, planned to go home with Qin Yu Hai.
Qin Yuhai, who was about to drive, said: "Wait, Xiao Jiu, you still have to go to kindergarten. You ran away."
I'll take it back to you.
Little Nine-Nine: ...
I would really appreciate it!
