Lin Wanqing pushed the pen forward.

Gao Zhiqiang stared at the paper.

The fat on his face twitched.

Studio.

More than three million people.

The screen was already flooded with comments.

Sign it!

Weren't you being pretty cocky just now?

Why is my pen suddenly so hot?

Gao Zhiqiang's face grew increasingly grim, and he suddenly sneered.

"OK."

"Trying to pull this on me, huh?"

He didn't take a pen.

Instead, they took a step back.

He winked at someone to the side.

"Keep people apart."

The words fell.

Several young police officers around him hesitated for a moment.

Gao Zhiqiang's face instantly darkened.

"Can't understand?"

I said separate them!

"All unauthorized personnel, please retreat beyond the cordon!"

The group then stepped forward.

They quickly surrounded Lin Wanqing, Chen Bufan, Luo Tiancheng, and the others.

the other side.

Hengtai Security also took action.

A dozen or so men pressed forward, and the iron horse pushed them forward.

Bang!

They blocked off another layer of the road.

The person in charge of Hengtai stood at the back, his face full of smiles.

"Officer Lin."

"Since the Qingzhou police have already made it so clear..."

"I advise you to cooperate a little."

He raised his hand and pointed outside the factory.

"Don't let the matter end up being uncovered."

"I've gotten myself into trouble."

Gao Zhiqiang had already walked up to Chen Bufan.

Reach out.

"cell phone."

Chen Bufan looked at him.

"What are you doing?"

"The live stream has been turned off."

"Let's begin."

"Temporary control measures will be implemented on site."

"Any unauthorized filming."

"All of these could affect normal law enforcement."

Chen Bufan didn't move.

Gao Zhiqiang stretched his hand forward another inch.

"I'm saying this one last time."

"cell phone."

Luo Tiancheng stood to the side.

He chuckled.

"You were just telling me to close it."

"Are they all just going to rob us now?"

"Shut up!"

Gao Zhiqiang suddenly turned his head.

"Say no more nonsense."

"Take you with me!"

Luo Tiancheng nodded.

"it is good."

"This sentence was also recorded."

Gao Zhiqiang felt a sharp throbbing in his temple.

"Do you guys think there's a live stream?"

"I can't do anything about you?"

He raised his hand and pointed around.

"I'll tell you."

"This is Qingzhou."

"I'm clearing the area; you all have to get out!"

"Anyone who dares to force their way in, anyone who dares to cross the cordon, come back to the station with me now and explain yourselves!"

Several young police officers had already surrounded them even more closely.

Hengtai Security was practically blatantly defiant.

Someone deliberately walked past Liu Jianguo in a low voice.

"Old man."

"I didn't say that before."

"You've become quite talkative now."

"Aren't you afraid of dying now?"

Liu Jianguo's face turned pale with fright.

Lin Wanqing suddenly turned her head.

"What did you just say?"

The security guard smiled.

"What did I say?"

"Is there any evidence?"

Several people nearby started laughing.

"Officer Lin."

"There are so many live streams."

"Don't wrongly accuse innocent people."

Luo Tiancheng rolled up his sleeves.

"Chen Bufan".

"I can't hold back anymore."

Chen Bufan looked ahead.

"Bear with it."

Why?

"They can't wait for you to get back to them."

Luo Tiancheng paused for a moment.

understood.

If they make the first move, today's incident can immediately change from "police obstructing investigation" to "outsiders violently storming the law enforcement scene".

Gao Zhiqiang obviously heard it too.

His lips twitched into a smile.

"At least there's one smart one."

He looked at Lin Wanqing.

"Now take your men out."

"As for burying the body..."

"Wait for Qingzhou to complete the verification."

"I will let you know naturally."

Lin Wanqing stood still.

"Afraid to sign?"

Gao Zhiqiang's eyes were full of arrogance.

"Lin Wanqing".

"Do you have to make yourself miserable?"

Just then.

hum-

Lin Wanqing's phone rang.

connected.

"I am."

I don't know what the other person said.

Lin Wanqing glanced at Gao Zhiqiang in front of her.

"He's here."

"Um."

"it is good."

She moved her phone away.

Just hand it over.

"Looking for you."

Gao Zhiqiang frowned.

"Who?"

Lin Wanqing looked at him.

"Director Xu Jing of the Z Province Public Security Bureau."

The scene was completely silent.

The fierce look on Gao Zhiqiang's face visibly stiffened for a moment.

But even in front of so many people, she still forced herself to take the phone.

"Feed?"

Hearing just two words, he suddenly stood up straight.

"Director Xu?"

My waist bent forward slightly without my noticing.

Hello!

"right."

"I'm right here."

"No, no..."

"We didn't stop them."

Gao Zhiqiang's forehead began to sweat.

"The main issue is structural safety."

"It's also for their safety."

"It means nothing else."

"Really, no."

Suddenly, a harsh sentence came from the other end of the phone, and Gao Zhiqiang's face turned pale.

"clear!"

"I see!"

"Materials will be received immediately!"

"Ground-penetrating radar can enter."

"Can!"

"sure!"

"No one disagrees."

"Absolutely not!"

He said.

He also subconsciously glanced at the record waiting for his signature on the front of the car, and sweated even more.

"Don't worry."

"We will implement local support immediately."

"Cooperate."

"Absolutely cooperating!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The phone hangs up.

Gao Zhiqiang handed the phone back with both hands, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Officer Lin."

"Misunderstand."

"That was just a misunderstanding."

Wang Tianhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gao Zhiqiang's face twitched, but he pretended not to hear.

"It's about local cooperation."

"It's all work."

"Sometimes information isn't delivered in a timely manner..."

Luo Tiancheng clicked his tongue.

"You must be an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of face-changing art."

Gao Zhiqiang's face turned pale and then red, but he didn't dare to curse.

The person in charge of Hengtai next to him got anxious.

"Captain Gao."

"What about President Zhou...?"

"Shut up!"

Gao Zhiqiang turned his head sharply, and the anger he hadn't dared to vent before was all directed at Hengtai.

"You think things aren't getting serious enough?"

The person in charge of Hengtai was dumbfounded.

"No, you clearly just now—"

"What did I just say?"

Gao Zhiqiang's eyes widened.

"Did I tell you to keep dumping materials into the suspected burial area?"

"Who gave that permission?"

"Who the hell said that?"

The person in charge of Hengtai looked at him.

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'?!"

Gao Zhiqiang shoved the person away.

"Get to the back!"

He then turned and yelled at his men.

"What are you still standing there for?!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Half of the iron horses have been moved!"

"The construction vehicle stalled!"

"The key has been removed!"

"First, seal off the area around West Fourth Road and East First Road!"

A young police officer couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Captain Gao."

"formalities……"

"Forms my ass!"

After Gao Zhiqiang finished cursing, he suddenly remembered the phone and abruptly changed the subject.

"Follow the procedure!"

"Non-destructive surveying!"

"Scan first!"

"Record this video!"

"Can't they all use their brains?!"

Luo Tiancheng finally burst out laughing.

"Captain Gao."

"Didn't you just say this is Qingzhou?"

Gao Zhiqiang glared at him fiercely.

"Stop being so sarcastic!"

Luo Tiancheng nodded.

"This is the right flavor."

The person in charge of Hengtai looked ashen-faced.

"This is Hengtai Asset Management."

Gao Zhiqiang pointed directly at his nose.

"Assets, my ass!"

"There are suspected to be five people buried here! And you're still talking to me about assets?"

"Everyone, step back!"

Hengtai Security did not make a move.

Gao Zhiqiang patted his waist.

"What, you want me to treat you?"

The security guards then retreated.

The road has finally been opened.

Lin Wanqing turned around.

"equipment."

"Enter."

The ground-penetrating radar was slowly pushed into the old factory.

The viewers in the live chat were absolutely ecstatic.

Hahahaha!

[Just now: This is Qingzhou!]

[Now: Welcome, our sister unit!]

[The "path to certain death" visa refusal was successful!]

[It wasn't a visa refusal; Director Xu changed his fate.]

Is this the key to changing one's fate? It's terrifying.

Radar activated.

First time.

The screen was cluttered.

Second time.

The technician frowned.

From a different perspective.

The third time.

The movement suddenly stopped.

on the screen.

Five consecutive abnormal regions are squeezed together.

The scene was a bit noisy just now.

It gradually quieted down.

The technicians zoomed in on the image and examined it for a long time.

"It doesn't look like a building structure."

Lin Wanqing asked:

"Like what?"

The other party hesitated for a moment.

"All I can say is..."

"The outline resembles human remains."

Liu Jianguo stood behind, also staring intently at the five silhouettes.

Suddenly he raised his hand.

"wrong."

Everyone turned around.

"where?"

Liu Jianguo pointed to the innermost part.

My hands are shaking badly.

"She's had surgery."

"Who?"

"Little girl."

Liu Jianguo's lips are getting paler and paler.

"When it was buried five years ago."

"She's at the very back."

"She's leaning on her mother."

"Now……"

He moved his finger slightly to the side.

"It's gone off track."

If Liu Jianguo's memory serves him correctly, then there's only one possibility: someone reopened this place later.

Lin Wanqing took out her phone.

Dial it directly.

"Radar detected five unusual locations resembling human remains."

"Witness identification at the scene."

"One of the locations does not match the original burial location."

"There is a strong suspicion that secondary excavation occurred."

She paused for a moment.

"We are now requesting a formal criminal investigation."

They talked for a long time on the phone.

Lin Wanqing listened the whole time.

In the end, he only replied with one sentence.

"You don't have to approve it."

"I'll say it again."

"name."

"Position".

"Written comments".

Send it to me.

The phone was disconnected.

The person in charge of Hengtai has started constantly checking their phone.

once.

twice.

three times.

Like waiting for something.

Gao Zhiqiang didn't say anything either.

He just kept looking at the radar screen.

I was just helping Hengtai with his trolley.

It's at most a favor.

But now.

There are indeed five human-like things below.

If we delay it any further, the situation will be completely different.

Two minutes later.

Gao Zhiqiang's phone rang.

The screen displays a local number.

He answered the call immediately.

"Chief."

The person on the other end of the phone spoke for a full two minutes.

Gao Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly.

I listened for a while longer.

"clear."

"Do it immediately."

hang up.

He stopped forcing a smile and stopped making excuses.

Then he suddenly turned around.

"Listen up, everyone!"

The sound exploded.

"Increase the alert level!"

"The entire western foundation is sealed off!"

"All personnel from Hengtai have withdrawn from the Level 2 alert zone!"

The person in charge of Hengtai's expression changed drastically.

"Captain Gao!"

"This is our company's..."

"Shut up!"

Gao Zhiqiang turned around and yelled.

"It wasn't detected just now."

"You can still talk to me about assets."

"These five things below are almost human-like now!"

"You still have assets?"

The person in charge of Hengtai gritted his teeth.

"Until it's officially confirmed..."

Gao Zhiqiang stood directly in front of him.

"Then what are you staying for?"

"Would you like to help identify the body?"

The other person's face stiffened.

"Gao Zhiqiang!"

"Are you calling me 'Dad'?!"

Gao Zhiqiang's temper flared up immediately.

"I've already been very lenient with you!"

"Forensic examination is now in full swing!"

"No one dares to touch the core area."

"Copy them all!"

"Get out!"

The surrounding Qingzhou police officers did not hesitate at all.

"Hengtai personnel, retreat!"

"The construction vehicles must be sealed off on site!"

"Driver registration!"

"Security personnel withdraw from the restricted area!"

"No one is allowed to enter the core area!"

Hengtai Security is being withdrawn in batches.

The man who had threatened Liu Jianguo earlier tried to glance at him as he passed by.

Gao Zhiqiang yelled directly.

"What are you looking at?!"

"Get out!"

The man immediately lowered his head.

The person in charge of Hengtai took out his mobile phone.

Gao Zhiqiang glanced at it.

"beat."

"Call Zhou Heng now."

He pointed to the radar screen.

"Tell your General Manager Zhou."

"We actually found something when we swept it up."

The person in charge of Hengtai held the phone but didn't make the call.

Gao Zhiqiang sneered.

"What's wrong?"

"Now you know the phone's hot?"

Gao Zhiqiang turned around.

"Forensic pathologist!"

"Fire department!"

"Engineering safety!"

"On-site investigation team!"

"All in!"

"Prepare to breach!"

The first layer of concrete has begun to be cut.

boom--!

The ear-piercing roar echoed throughout the old factory.

The dust is continuously drawn away.

Less than ten minutes.

The engineers noticed something was wrong.

"Wait a minute."

The lights were dimmed.

Both sides of the incision.

The colors are noticeably different.

The inner layer.

Grayish-yellow.

Old and outdated.

The outer layer, however, has been updated.

The technician tapped it lightly a few times with his tools.

"It wasn't poured all at once."

"Two batches."

"The time difference is significant."

Everyone looked at Liu Jianguo at the same time.

He just said that.

The little girl's position has changed.

The first strike.

Right.

In other words.

The foundation was indeed opened up later.

The cutting continues.

layer.

Another layer.

Twenty minutes later.

The firefighter suddenly raised his hand.

"stop!"

hum-

The cutting machine suddenly stopped.

All sound disappeared at once.

The searchlight shone into the newly opened narrow slit.

inside.

There is a grayish-white thing.

Unlike steel bars.

The forensic doctor put on gloves.

Squat down.

Clear it up little by little.

Five finger bones.

Wrist bone.

Further up, a heavily rusted mechanical watch still hangs there.

The scene was deathly silent.

Liu Jianguo swayed slightly.

"This is it."

There are only four characters.

In the live stream room.

Millions of bullet comments.

Surprisingly, a large portion of it is missing.

Continue cleaning.

The first one.

Adult male.

The second one.

Adult female.

The third one.

elder.

The fourth one.

Minor.

The fifth one...

The last piece of concrete was peeled away.

The searchlights shone down completely.

A family of five.

Not one was missing.

The father's and mother's bones face outwards.

The old man was turned to the side.

The older child was curled up nearby.

The youngest girl.

They were protected at the very inside.

The bones have broken apart.

But that posture remained.

Liu Jianguo stood outside the cordon, covered his head with his hands, and slowly squatted down.

Chen Bufan had already reached the edge of the pit.

His gaze fell on the smallest set of remains at the very back.

Incomplete.

A portion of the sternum is missing.

The metacarpal bone in the left hand is also missing.

The forensic doctor quickly discovered the anomaly.

"etc."

He changed his perspective.

Check the gap.

"It wasn't damaged naturally."

"There are cutting marks."

Everyone's expression changed.

"Artificial bone harvesting."

Shi Zhiyuan suddenly lowered his head.

Start going through the accounts.

Snapped!

Stop handing.

"have."

The ledger pages were laid out.

Two lines of text.

【Take three ounces of the fifth-grade young bone.】

[The ashes were burned and put into the first printing.]

Lin Wanqing looked up.

"Who is number five?"

Shi Zhiyuan looked down into the pit.

My throat feels tight.

"The youngest one...the girl."

Twenty-one years ago, a family of five was taken alive from the old street and buried here.

Years later, someone dug up the foundation and opened their grave, taking some bones from the youngest girl's body.

Then it was sealed off again.

The forensic pathologist continued the examination.

The remaining bone surface shows signs of high-temperature burning, as well as dark red residue, cinnabar, and red ink.

Luo Tiancheng's face darkened as he looked at the two rows of accounts.

"The ashes were burned and put into the first printing."

"What is meant by 'first impression'?"

Shi Zhiyuan shook his head.

"This is a special project code; I'm only responsible for bookkeeping."

"They never told me what it meant."

Chen Bufan glanced at the remains.

He then looked at the tent.

"The first one of Hengtai, the Dharma Seal that was refined into destiny."

Luo Tiancheng's eyes darkened.

"That child's bones..."

"Reduced to ashes?"

Chen Bufan nodded.

Wang Tianhao couldn't help but curse.

"Then why didn't they burn all five of them?"

Chen Bufan only replied with two words.

"I wouldn't dare."

Why?

"Take the ash from here."

"And so it begins here."

Chen Bufan looked at the bottom of the pit.

"A family of five."

"It is the root of cause and effect."

"The remains were completely destroyed."

"The backlash came first."

Luo Tiancheng immediately understood.

"It's not that I don't want to destroy the evidence, it's that I simply don't dare to clean it up."

Shi Zhiyuan had already turned to the next page.

There's a very strange pattern above.

half.

Slender.

It has markings on one end.

Like a ruler.

Three lines of smaller text next to it.

[Size indicated on print.]

[When the Yang Eye opens, the flow of Qi is released.]

We can only measure the cause, not the effect.

The forensic doctor used tweezers to gently remove a dark red, hard object about the size of a fingernail from the inside of the remaining rib.

There's something else here.

When the inspection light was turned on and the red light shone down, an indentation was found on the surface of the dark red substance.

The forensic pathologist changed his perspective.

Take another picture.

Half a word.

It gradually became apparent.

【恆】

Just then.

Wang Tianhao's phone was vibrating incessantly.

He lowered his head.

I only glanced at it.

Holy crap.

Luo Tiancheng turned around.

"What's wrong now?"

Wang Tianhao handed over the phone.

on the screen.

Hengtai Group's latest announcement.
