Chapter 214 214. 'Freshness' Treatment
After leaving the special team, Jinjiu took Tongtong all the way to a place.
This is a very luxurious villa with a back garden. As Tongtong got closer to the back garden, the expression on her face became more and more terrified.
When they were only a wall away from the garden, she hid uncontrollably behind Jinjiu, not daring to move forward even a single step.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qian was a little confused, and at the same time patted Tongtong's head soothingly.
"Her body is here." Jinjiu looked around, then took out Tongtong's hair that he had taken away before and lit it.
As the hair was set on fire, a strong stench spread out from the back garden. However, because this was a villa area, there were not many people coming and going, so even though the stench spread, no one except Jinjiu could smell it.
But soon, the nanny of the villa came home after buying groceries. She seemed to smell something and followed the smell to the backyard.
"What's that smell...it stinks..." The nanny frowned.
She originally didn't want to get involved in such things. After all, her job was just cooking. Cleaning and gardening were not her responsibility. But it was really too smelly and it really affected her work, so she had to come out to take a look.
It happened that the gardener came to work at this time. He also smelled the smell, so he came over to check the situation. After understanding the situation with the nanny, the two of them decided to see what was so smelly.
They followed the smell and found it was strongest under a tree in the garden.
"Is there something down there? The smell seems to be coming from down there." said the nanny.
The gardener thought so too, so he said, "I'll get a shovel and dig it out and take a look."
The gardener acted quickly. He asked for a shovel and brought it back quickly.
He just casually dug with the shovel and immediately dug out a severed hand. The severed hand looked short and did not look like an adult's hand. It looked more like the hand of a five or six-year-old child.
Seeing this scene, the two people couldn't help but vomit.
Especially the gardener who was in charge of digging. He was closest to the shovel and faced the severed hand. He felt terrible. However, he did not fall down on the spot. Instead, he dropped the shovel and ran a few steps before vomiting all over the place. This was already considered good.
"Call the police..." The nanny couldn't help but remind them while vomiting.
The gardener still had some sense and wanted to call the police, but he thought of more.
"This, this is not our home!"
The nanny frowned and said, "What's wrong with it being ours? This is a dead person! If someone dies, we should call the police. What does it have to do with whether it's ours or not?"
"That's not the case. This family is very rich..."
"You won't call the police, right? If you don't call the police, I will!" The nanny didn't care.
In her opinion, death is not strange, but burying the dead in such a place is strange.
She also understood the gardener's concerns, but if she concealed the matter for the sake of her job, she might be silenced in the future. After all, they had already found the body, and even if they buried it back, there would definitely be traces.
What's more, the smell here is so bad. If people passing by smell it and cause trouble, they will definitely call the police... The result will be the same anyway, so it's better to call the police directly.
"Hello! I want to call the police. I dug up a dead body... The address is xxx... I don't know the age or gender of the body. We only dug out a hand and didn't dare to continue digging..." The police were very quick. When they heard that it was a burial case, they responded quickly.
When they arrived at the scene, only ten minutes had passed since the nanny called.
After the police arrived, the nanny and the gardener took them to the scene, and it took twenty minutes to clean up the entire scene.
The reason why it took so long was not because it was buried so deep. After all, a gardener could dig it out with just one shovel, so it was obviously not deep.
But because the body was too severely decomposed, in order to ensure it remained intact, and because it was not buried deep, the police could only endure the nausea and did not use any tools. They just wore gloves and cleaned out the body bit by bit.
After the bodies were cleared out, they began to conduct an identification based on the bodies.
Of course, before that, they must have contacted the owner of the villa to find out the situation.
However, the owner of the villa did not seem to be local. When he learned that there was a dead body in his villa, his first reaction was disbelief. After the police revealed their identities and explained that they had dug out the body, they said that someone else might have killed someone and hidden the body in his villa. After all, he had not lived in the villa for several months.
The police confirmed this with the nanny and gardener, and the nanny, gardener and the cleaning lady who arrived late all said that what the owner of the house said was true.
"It's true that the owner hasn't lived here for a long time, but we still work here and get paid every month."
This is normal for wealthy people.
Rich people own so many properties that they often forget they even have a house somewhere.
However, although they have forgotten that they have a house, there are always people around them who are responsible for taking care of these places to ensure that the house is clean and tidy even if no one lives in it, so that the owner of the house can move in at any time when he wants to.
Because the owner of the house was not at home, the nanny finally contacted the person who recruited them to work and was also responsible for paying them.
This man is called Li Tian, and he is the personal assistant of the owner of this house.
While the case was being solved here, Jinjiu hid his body after the body was dug out and entered the villa with Tongtong and Lin Qian.
Lin Qian looked at the highly decomposed corpse and couldn't help frowning. Then she said in confusion: "This is not right. I remember you said that Tongtong seemed to have..."
Halfway through her words, she seemed to feel that what she said was a bit hurtful to the child's feelings, so she changed her words.
"Logically speaking, after so much time has passed, there should be only bones left."
Jin Jiu responded, "Yes, but someone did something to her body. Her body did not start to decay from the moment of death."
In other words, someone had 'preserved' Tongtong's body.
Although the body was decomposed, it was summer and the temperature was extremely high. According to modern medical examinations, the time of death was probably no more than a week.
But in fact, this happened several years ago.
During the conversation between Jinjiu and Lin Qian, Tongtong kept holding the corner of Jinjiu's clothes and hiding behind Jinjiu, looking very pitiful.
"Come, I will take you to the afterlife."
The case can be put aside for now, but sending Tongtong away must be done as soon as possible.
