On the other side, after Lu Heng's livestream was shut down, the police quickly found Ma Jian and the others.

Looking at the white bones in the pit, several police officers frowned simultaneously.

"Ma, what on earth is going on here?"

"Whose remains are these?"

The middle-aged officer in charge, surnamed Li, had met Ma Jian a few times.

So he directly asked Ma Jian.

"Uncle Li, do you remember the five-year-old child from the Zhang Family who disappeared two years ago?"

Ma Jian explained the whole story in detail.

"You're talking about... the child named Zhang Zitong?"

After listening, the middle-aged officer frowned, thought for a while, and soon remembered.

"Yes, that's him!"

Ma Jian said, pointing to the remains in the pit, then continued, "These bones belong to Zhang Zitong!"

"You mean these bones belong to Zhang Zitong?"

"He wasn't kidnapped but murdered?"

The middle-aged officer was stunned upon hearing this, then widened his eyes, looking carefully again.

The clothes on the skeletal remains did indeed match what Zhang's parents described when they reported the incident.

"How did you find these remains?"

The middle-aged officer couldn't help but ask.

In his view, unless you caught the killer, who could know a burial site like this?

"Recently, wasn't there a Daoist who became popular online?"

"That Daoist seems to know everything. If you can get him to help with a divination, he can tell the past and the future."

"So, I thought of asking this Daoist to find out where Zhang Zitong was trafficked to."

"But when the Daoist did his divination, he found out that Zhang Zitong wasn't trafficked but murdered."

"However, he didn't figure out who the killer was, only the burial site."

"So, under his guidance, we came here to see if we could dig up the body."

"And as a result, Uncle Li, you saw it too..."

Ma Jian recounted the whole live divination process from tonight.

After listening, Uncle Li and the other police officers were all stunned.

They looked at Ma Jian as if he was an idiot.

"Are you serious? You came out at night to dig up a body because a fortune-telling Daoist said so?"

"What a joke! You believed a fortune-teller just like that and came out to dig up a body?"

"You all seem perfectly sane; you're not crazy?"

"Did this Daoist really divine the location of the remains?"

"It sounds a bit absurd to me?"

It's hard for anyone to believe Ma Jian's explanation.

Several seemingly perfectly normal young people actually believed a fortune-telling Daoist and came all the way to the mountains at night to dig up a body...

Who would believe that?

"Uncle Li, we're not joking!"

"All of this is real!"

"That Daoist truly seems to know everything..."

Ma Jian explained for a long time but still couldn't convince the police in front of him.

Helplessly, he showed the police report he had seen earlier on Weibo.

This was a report issued by the police in Jiuyuan City and Heping City, and it couldn't be faked.

"Uncle Li, look at this, the Daoist solved two cold cases with just divination."

"If you still don't believe it, you can call the police stations in these two cities and ask."

After reading the two police reports, the police officers were baffled.

Because in the report, there was mention of a Daoist who did not want to disclose his name.

And it was indeed the accurate information provided by this Daoist that helped the police in the two regions solve these two cold cases.

But solving cases through the mystical arts does sound a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?

"Brother Li, what do we do now?"

A young officer asked.

"What else? Protect the scene and start investigating!"

The middle-aged officer decisively said.

About half an hour later, a forensic doctor hurried to the scene.

After examining the body, the forensic doctor frowned and said, "The deceased's bone age is around five years old."

"The deceased's skeleton is well preserved, with no fractures or traces of external impact."

"Based on my experience, I initially determine it to be a death by asphyxiation or poisoning."

"If it was poisoning, there might be residual toxins in the clothes and soil."

"If it was asphyxiation, then it might have been from being buried alive..."

After the forensic doctor finished his analysis, the middle-aged policeman frowned deeply.

He believed the deceased was more likely suffocated to death from being buried alive.

After all, if it was poisoning, there would be no need to go so far to dump the body.

He could even imagine the crime scene.

On a dark, windy night, the killer dragged a suitcase containing the deceased into the woods.

Then, while the deceased was still conscious, the killer dug a pit and buried them alive, causing suffocation death.

To bury a five-year-old child alive, how cruel must the killer be?

The middle-aged officer secretly vowed in his heart to catch this ruthless killer no matter what!

"Brother Li, we've finished the statement."

The young officer came forward and handed the freshly written statement to the middle-aged officer.

The middle-aged officer glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Ma Jian and the others' statements were consistent with what was previously said.

"Did they mention if the Daoist divined who the killer was?"

The middle-aged officer asked.

"No."

The young officer shook his head and said, "The Daoist only divined the burial site, not the identity of the killer."

"Can you confirm if the deceased is indeed Zhang Zitong, who disappeared two years ago?"

The middle-aged officer asked again.

"Zhang Zitong's parents have identified the clothing as what Zhang Zitong was wearing before disappearing."

"And some small items carried by the deceased also confirm the identity."

The young officer replied truthfully.

"Looks like it's time to do a thorough investigation!"

The middle-aged officer's expression was serious.

He was ready to use his rich experience in handling cases to find the real killer.

To seek justice for this five-year-old victim!

But at that moment, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Brother Li, we've caught the killer!"

"Hmm?"

The middle-aged officer was stunned.

The corpse had just been dug up, and the cause of death was just confirmed. How did they suddenly catch the killer?

"Brother Li, after the discovery of the deceased's remains reached the village, a villager named Zhang Jizong reacted very oddly."

"Just as we were about to take him for questioning, he confessed to everything."

"The one who killed Zhang Zitong is him!"

"Two years ago, due to an accident, Zhang Zitong discovered Zhang Jizong's inappropriate relationship with his daughter-in-law."

"To prevent Zhang Zitong from telling anyone, Zhang Jizong drugged him with animal tranquilizers, put him in a plastic suitcase, and buried him in the Tea Mountain woods."

"Zhang Jizong also said that since killing, he's always felt as if Zhang Zitong didn't die but was hiding in a corner, staring at him..."
