In the future chat group, I'll become the richest man by just eating gossip.

Chapter 16 Feng Nan: There's fat down there!
Feng Nan and Li Biao looked at each other, completely bewildered. They knew Yue Yang had a short temper, but was there really a need for him to be so impulsive?
Li Biao smiled and said, "Little Feng, don't mind him. That's just Yueyang's personality."

"Come on, I'll take you to the scene!"

Feng Nan nodded: "Okay!"

We rode in Li Biao's car and arrived in the suburbs.

The two got out of the car, and Li Biao pointed to a large pit cordoned off in front of them and said, "The body was found here. This land used to be a brick kiln in the village over there, a material yard for digging soil and firing bricks. Later, the brick kiln went out of business because it failed to meet environmental protection standards. The village then filled this place with water and turned it into a fishpond. Until a year ago, a developer took a liking to this place and bought this pit along with several other plots of land belonging to the village collective. He planned to fill the pit in and build a golf course."

"Unexpectedly, when we were cleaning the fish in the pond yesterday, after draining the water from the pit, we found those bones and skulls in the silt."

Li Biao recounted the entire process and reason for discovering the body to Feng Nan.

Feng Nan nodded thoughtfully, "So it's confirmed that the three missing bodies aren't here?"

Li Biao nodded: "It's confirmed. Yesterday we dug up the entire area, and even sifted through the pumped-out water."

Feng Nan silently circled the pit, seemingly surveying the terrain, but in his heart he was thinking about how to find a suitable reason to guide Li Biao to dig out the corpse from the abandoned brick kiln.

At the same time, Feng Nan became even more certain that the person she suspected was the murderer.

"Brother Li, have you searched the vicinity for the three missing bodies?"

Feng Nan asked casually.

"We did search, but the workload was too large, and it was impossible to excavate."

Li Biao sighed.

"What about the brick kiln?"

Feng Nan asked.

"Did not go!"

"You suspect it's at the brick kiln?"

Li Biao asked in confusion.

"The brick kiln is several kilometers away from here. The murderer killed thirteen people, including ten bodies and thirteen heads, and buried them all here. There was no need to go to such lengths to bury three of the bodies so far away, was there?"

"This doesn't fit the killer's habit of disposing of the body."

Li Biao said in a deep voice.

"Everything is possible."

"Let's go take a look at the brick kiln."

Feng Nan turned and walked towards the police car.

Li Biao opened his mouth as if to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say it.

I followed in Feng Nan's footsteps.

The police car started and headed straight for the abandoned brick kiln a few kilometers away. Feng Nan sat in the back seat, took out her phone, and checked the news about the discovery of Nan Ge's body in the Future Chat Group.

The blogger Nan Ge, who was killed by the murderer in the future, was buried with those three skeletons.

However, why Nango's body was discovered by the elderly scavenger remains a mystery.

Could it be that the murderer didn't completely bury the body?

He's still an old scavenger...

Could it be the murderer himself?
Indeed, the person Feng Nan suspected was the old scavenger who discovered the body.

This elderly scavenger was from this village, as was Nan Ge. Later, the village was demolished to build a railway, and the entire village moved to the city.

Even more coincidentally, the old man had worked at the village's brick kiln when he was young. Later, the brick kiln went bankrupt, and the old man became unemployed and began to idle around.

He was arrested three times for stealing from the factory's finance office, robbery and assault, and molesting women. Each time he was sentenced, he actively reformed himself and was released early. These arrests all coincided with the time when the perpetrator disappeared.

However, when Li Biao investigated the elderly scavenger in the future, he eliminated him from the suspect list because the elderly scavenger had a seemingly perfect alibi during the time of Nan Ge's death and was seriously ill and unable to independently carry out the act of disposing of the body.

But it was precisely because of his serious illness that Feng Nan became suspicious. Because of his illness and declining physical condition, Nan Ge's body wasn't dismembered after his death—didn't this perfectly match Yue Yang's analysis?

crunch--

The sound of brakes rang out as the police car stopped outside the abandoned brick kiln.

"Xiao Feng, we've arrived!"

Li Biao said to Feng Nan.

Upon hearing Li Biao's words, Feng Nan snapped out of her daze and opened the car door.

"Are you really going in?"

Standing in front of the abandoned brick kiln, Li Biao asked.

"why not?"

Feng Nan smiled and asked in return.

"If the body is here, then it would perfectly match my image of the murderer."

As she spoke, Feng Nan turned on her phone's flashlight and headed toward the entrance of the abandoned brick kiln.

Helpless, Li Biao took a police flashlight from the car and quickly followed Feng Nan.

Based on Li Biao's past experience in handling cases, the chances that a murderer with a secret body disposal location would risk taking several bodies separately to a location several kilometers away and disposing of them at any time, while not impossible, are extremely slim.

This is why neither Li Biao nor Yue Yang preferred to search for a needle in a haystack around the fishpond, rather than expanding the search to the abandoned brick kiln.

But since Feng Nan thought the body might be in an abandoned brick kiln and insisted on coming to search for it, Li Biao couldn't let Feng Nan, a girl, come alone. That would be too unsafe. If something happened to Feng Nan while searching for the body at the abandoned brick kiln, Li Biao would feel guilty.

After entering the abandoned brick kiln, Feng Nan pretended to search while approaching the location where Nan Ge's body was found, as reported in Future News.

The abandoned brick kiln wasn't large, and Feng Nan quickly located the spot featured in the future news report.

Feng Nan pretended to look around with her phone, then suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Brother Li, come and see!"

Feng Nan squatted on the ground and waved to Li Biao behind her.

Li Biao was taken aback, then quickly approached.

"what happened?"

Li Biao shone his police flashlight on the ground in front of Feng Nan and asked him with a puzzled look.

"Brother Li, do you see anything different about this place compared to other places?"

Feng Nan pointed to the ground and said to Li Biao.

Li Biao frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Squat down and observe carefully.

"The grass here..."

"It seems to be growing stronger?"

Li Biao hesitated before speaking.

"That's right!"

Feng Nan snapped his fingers.

"Because brick kilns have been firing bricks for many years, the soil inside the kiln and the surrounding soil have lost their nutrients due to the high temperature. Even if they are abandoned, if no one fertilizes and nourishes the land, it will take a long time for the soil to recover on its own. Even if it recovers, the soil will be very barren."

“Look at the grass around you. It’s sparse. The weeds outside are a little better than those inside, but they’re still nowhere near as lush and vigorous as the weeds here.”

At this point, Feng Nan paused, smiled mysteriously, and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Li, there's some fat down there!"

Li Biao was taken aback, then his expression changed: "You mean the body is buried down here?"
