Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 141 - 130: Guanyin Earth

The third one...

There's a third person!?

"There's someone else!?"

Chen Changchun's pupils suddenly constricted, his hair stood on end, and he stared intently at Old Li.

"Yes, there must be. Without the boss caring for them, those two would have starved to death long ago."

Old Li looked at the girl's corpse and swallowed, appearing somewhat afraid.

But after hearing Chen Changchun's voice, he forced himself to calm down and spoke:

"The boss's name is Wu Yong, he's 23 years old."

"The three are not biological siblings. Years ago, the boss found Xiaoya while picking up garbage, couldn't find anyone to adopt her, so he raised her himself."

"Later on, when Sixth was about ten, he went mad with hunger and tried to steal from the boss. The boss caught him and gave him a beating, but didn't drive him away."

"Somehow, the three of them started living together."

Old Li spoke slowly, and as his words resonated, the expressions on everyone's faces turned uglier.

There really is a third person...

However, this third person...

"A 23-year-old adult, 1.72 meters tall, able to barely survive at the very bottom and support two kids..."

Liu Jin, Chen Changchun, and others only needed to think slightly, and their faces turned extremely grim.

From this description, the person...

is fully capable of being aggressive!!!

"Of course, it could be that the boss went to rummage through bins at night."

Old Li suddenly spoke sheepishly.

"Now that winter is near, homeless beggars are having a hard time too. Some starve to death, others freeze to death. The boss might have been too hungry and went out searching for food."

As he spoke.

The old man pointed to the ground, to the freshly uncovered corpse.

"Look for yourselves if you don't believe it."

Xu Liang looked down.

The unearthed girl was very thin. Though not as starved as the boy at the crime scene, she was quite skeletal.

Her cheeks were sunken, and despite skin wrapping the flesh, her bone structure was starkly defined.

Liu Jin lifted the clothes covering the stomach slightly.

Was the belly very emaciated?

No, no, no.

The belly wasn't emaciated at all; in fact, it was... unusually bloated!

Yes.

The girl's belly was large, rounded by whatever was inside, while her limbs remained gaunt.

It was as if four withered tree branches were attached to a round snowball, looking somewhat comical compared to the shriveled head.

"Eh?"

Old Li was a bit surprised, "Where'd she get so much to eat?"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang and Chen Changchun's faces became extremely unpleasant.

Perhaps, what's in her belly... isn't food.

It was a long time before Chen Changchun drew a deep breath, scanning the surroundings once.

It's already past five o'clock now.

In December, daylight arrives quickly, and at this point it's possible to see everything around clearly with the naked eye.

At this time, Wu Yong is unlikely to return.

As for the girl's body being buried, the traces of the re-excavation at the burial site were most likely Wu Yong's doing!

What would he do upon seeing the girl's corpse?

Chen Changchun did not know, but for the other person to leave without reporting to the police meant there was something he needed to do.

As to what that was...

That remained unknown.

Chen Changchun took a deep breath, not lingering further, and immediately issued orders:

"Squad One stays nearby to keep watch on the boss, others take the body away..."

"Wrap up!"

After finishing, Chen Changchun looked at Old Li next to him, paused, and spoke again:

"Mr. Li, in the coming days, please cooperate with the police."

"The police need to understand some information about those students from you!"

Old Li also seemed to be unsure of what was being said.

His cloudy eyes rested on the girl's corpse without the earlier reluctance, and after a long while, a sound emerged from his throat.

"Mmm."

...

...

On the same day.

December 7th.

At nine in the morning.

Hongfu District, inside the criminal investigation team.

On the resting sofa.

"Mmm mmm..."

Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi woke from a deep sleep, rubbing their eyes, and slowly sat up from the bed.

As they opened their eyes and looked at the unfamiliar resting environment around them, they were slightly taken aback.

Before they could panic, a familiar voice rang out.

"Awake?"

"You two slept like the dead this morning."

Xu Liang's voice sounded from the side.

Turning their heads, they saw the person standing at the entrance of the break room with two breakfast meals, smiling as he looked over.

Looking at him, Su Yu's heart reacted, remembering last night's scene in the hall, and she instinctively spoke:

"Senior!"

"Mmm."

Xu Liang nodded his head in response.

Then he walked in naturally, placing the items on the table.

"After waking up, go wash yourselves. You two look like little dirty kittens right now."

Xu Liang teased.

Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi's faces didn't look too good at the moment.

Su Yu was slightly better, having slept deeply throughout the night, leaving only tear stains from the previous night on her face.

Yang Ruoxi suffered more, her hair a tangled mess, dark circles under her eyes, and even her skin had dulled with patches of oil.

This was unbearable for the two beauty-loving individuals!

"Ah!"

Yang Ruoxi glanced at her blurred reflection in the window and let out a shrill scream, pulling Su Yu quickly to the restroom outside for a quick wash.

After a good while, they returned to the break room.

"Much more refreshed!"

With just a brief wash, the two regained their previous elegant beauty.

Feeling hunger in their stomachs, they didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Liang, and sitting on the sofa, they began eating.

After slightly alleviating their hunger, Su Yu looked around in confusion.

"By the way, senior, how did I end up at the police station? Wasn't I in the hall yesterday..."

Upon leaving, seeing slogans everywhere and officers in police uniforms, she knew where she was.

She just didn't know how she had arrived there.

Yang Ruoxi was eating nearby, not questioning.

"In the morning you both were sleeping so soundly, no matter how much we called you, there was no waking you up, so we took you to the police station to sleep."
