I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 329 - 210: Return to Case 1 [Wild Ditch Dismemberment Case]

Chapter 329: Chapter 210: Return to Case 1 [Wild Ditch Dismemberment Case]

After tidying up the new house, Li Xiang said to Lin Feifei, "The package sent from abroad has arrived, I’ll go pick it up."

"I’ll go with you then, since the house is all set up anyway."

"Alright."

Li Xiang drove to the logistics station, and after coordinating with the staff, he retrieved a very securely packaged box.

On the way back, Li Feifei was very curious and asked what was inside.

"Ashes."

"Huh? What?"

Upon hearing Li Xiang’s answer, Lin Feifei shrank back a bit, clearly frightened.

"This person saved my life in Northern Myanmar, and I once promised her to bring her back to the country. Now, I’ve fulfilled that promise."

"It’s too dangerous. Why were you given such a dangerous mission? What would I do if something happened to you?"

Lin Feifei knew that Li Xiang’s overseas missions were very dangerous, especially since the recent news media reports about the crackdown on telecom fraud in Meeplands, capturing more than 50,000 people.

Although Li Xiang hadn’t told her exactly what his mission was, based on the flight’s origin, it wasn’t hard to deduce that Li Xiang went to Southeast Asia.

After the criminals were caught, Li Xiang returned as well.

This allowed Li Feifei to deduce that the case reported in the news was the one Li Xiang went on.

Every piece of news online about Meeplands and the fraud parks was shocking. She used to think her boyfriend was very capable and nothing could happen to him, but now she no longer believes that.

Because her boyfriend almost didn’t make it back.

"Alright, I promise you, I won’t go to such dangerous places again."

Sometimes, looking back, he was also a bit scared.

Having learned so many skills, he felt invincible, willing to take on any mission, disregarding others.

Open adversities are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are hard to defend against.

Sometimes, no matter how capable you are, when you encounter some sinister people with hidden agendas, they can catch you off guard.

Li Xiang had already found out Shengjiao’s home address, and now that her ashes were back, he planned to return her remains for burial in the next couple of days.

The next day, Li Xiang went to the supermarket alone, bought some nutritional supplements, and with Shengjiao’s ashes, set off on the journey to return her home.

Her home was in a small village in the neighboring province. It took Li Xiang five hours of driving to get there, and by the time he arrived at her doorstep, it was already three in the afternoon.

"Is this the Rong Family?"

Li Xiang found Shengjiao’s home based on the address provided by Yang Ming, and Sheng Jinrong was her father.

According to Yang Ming’s investigation, Shengjiao’s parents were genuine farmers, who occasionally did odd jobs during the off-season.

When he reached their doorstep, the door was open, but no one was inside.

So Li Xiang went over to the neighbor’s to ask, only to find out that the elderly couple had gone to the fields to spray pesticides.

The neighbor was very enthusiastic. Upon knowing that Li Xiang was looking for Sheng Jinrong, they went to the fields to call the elderly couple back.

"Who are you?"

The couple, who were in their fifties, looked older than city folks due to lack of upkeep.

"I’m a friend of Shengjiao’s. Something happened to her abroad, and I promised to bring her home."

Li Xiang didn’t reveal his identity as a police officer, nor did he have Yang Ming inform them in advance about their daughter’s death. He intended to personally bring back Shengjiao’s ashes.

"Oh no, my daughter, where is she?"

Upon hearing their daughter’s name, the elderly couple immediately burst into tears. When their daughter was lured to Meeplands, she had called home for help. They had reported it to the police, but to no avail, and then lost contact with her.

They had visited the police station countless times, and after understanding their situation, the station staff had given them a very pessimistic outlook, indicating their daughter might not return. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In their traditional beliefs, they needed to see a live person if alive, and a body if dead. Their daughter was missing, not dead.

But now, with their daughter’s ashes in front of them, along with her belongings, it confirmed that this was indeed their daughter.

"Jiao... my poor Jiao, why was your life so hard!"

Shengjiao’s mother was sobbing uncontrollably. Though they had mentally prepared before at the police station, it was still hard to accept the reality when faced with it.

Sheng Jinrong was also teary-eyed, wiping his tears while asking how his daughter died.

Due to some details involving his mission, Li Xiang didn’t disclose everything, selectively sharing what he knew with them.

"Shengjiao and I were both tricked into the telecom fraud park in Meeplands. We were always thinking about escaping. One night, during an escape attempt, we were discovered. Those people had guns. In the darkness, she was shot and later died from her injuries. Before she passed, I promised to bring her home."

"My foolish daughter, why did you go abroad, why did you leave?"

White-haired parents sending off their black-haired children is something no elder wishes to happen, especially since they only had Shengjiao as a daughter.

Now, with their only daughter gone, their lives were in complete darkness.

Li Xiang didn’t just deliver the ashes and then leave.

He stayed in the local area, contacted a cemetery, and prepared to help with Shengjiao’s funeral arrangements.

Since Shengjiao wasn’t married, according to local customs, no formal funeral could be organized.

The burial site was a local public cemetery. Li Xiang arranged to purchase a plot and erected a headstone for her.
