Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Day of Heaven and Earth’s Struggle Is Coming!

"Did you find it?"

Chen Xiao looked at Luo Dali and the other two.

All of their faces were filled with shock, so even though they hadn’t answered yet, Chen Xiao already knew the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiaoji nodded emphatically: "Yes, we found a man!"

Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed, and Ye Xiu beside him pinched her nose and frowned, saying, "Why do I feel like I’ve seen you all before?"

Luo Dali was stunned for a moment and then remembered: "You’re that distraught girl from the airport!"

"Distraught girl?" Ye Xiu frowned.

Luo Dali said embarrassedly, "It’s nothing, I just meant that we met at the airport, and I almost knocked you over."

Ye Xiu also remembered and looked at Chen Xiao: "I was wondering why you looked familiar, are you friends?"

Chen Xiao nodded, and Ye Xiu asked again: "So what did you just say you found?"

"To our surprise, we found Qin Zhao." Chen Xiao didn’t hide it and said it directly.

Ye Xiu’s eyes widened bit by bit, already too shocked to speak.

Chen Xiao didn’t pay her any mind, asking Luo Dali and the other two: "Where did you find it?"

"After we arrived in Xiaofeng Village, we dug through every outdoor latrine we could find. But we found nothing until Xiaoji noticed several houses had been built with toilets, which would definitely need a septic tank, so we dug through those as well."

"We were sure we wouldn’t find anything by the time we were on our second one. But as we dug, we sensed something was different, and the three of us together managed to pull the body out from underneath a mountain of muck!"

Listening to Luo Dali, Chen Xiao asked further: "And how did you handle it?"

Xiaoji responded: "Brother Chen, given that we were digging into a septic tank, and since the cover is a thick slab of stone, who knows how long that body has been buried down there. I was worried no one would discover it tomorrow, so I took matters into my own hands."

Curious, Chen Xiao listened as Luo Dali grumbled: "He poured dozens of buckets of muck on the wall of someone’s home, then covered the slab back, leaving just enough space for a bucket handle. By doing this, the household will definitely notice someone using their muck, and splattering their wall... ugh!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

As he spoke, Luo Dali almost threw up.

Chen Xiao knew it was disgusting, but he had to commend Xiaoji for his cleverness.

Out of the three of them, Xiaoji is indeed the boldest and most meticulous.

Xiaoji Knife Man seemed to feel left out, so he squeezed out a sentence after a while: "Brother Chen, do you think that family hid the body?"

He should’ve been quiet; as soon as he spoke, both Xiaoji and Luo Dali were speechless.

"It’s possible, but not very likely." Chen Xiao didn’t want to discourage him.

At this time, Ye Xiu finally reacted and said: "Now that we’ve found Qin Zhao, we should report it to the police immediately."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "We can’t report it now. It’s best if the villagers discover it naturally."

Saying this, Chen Xiao looked at Luo Dali and the others again: "You’re sure no one saw you, right?"

"Brother Chen, rest assured, the first thing we did when we arrived in the village was observe if anyone’s house still had lights on. We waited after every light went out before taking action. Also, tonight there’s no moonlight, the village is pitch-dark!"

"That’s good, hurry and wash up." Chen Xiao urged, as their smell was overpowering.

Seeing Ye Xiu, Chen Xiao said again: "You should stay here tonight, if you go back now I worry something might happen."

Ye Xiu nodded: "Alright, I’ll send a message to Brother Gui to let him know."

"Okay, but don’t tell him we may have found Qin Zhao."

"Alright," Ye Xiu agreed.

Soon enough, Luo Dali and the others finished bathing too.

As soon as Chen Xiao mentioned Ye Xiu staying over, Luo Dali immediately suggested: "Sister Xiu can sleep in my room tonight, Xiaoji you can squeeze in with Knife Man, and I’ll take your room."

Xiaoji frowned: "Why don’t you squeeze in with Knife Man?"

"Look at our sizes, could we fit?"

Xiaoji disdainfully curled his lips, and Chen Xiao said: "Xiaoxiu, you can go freshen up, and Dali will take you to your room later."

"Later, I washed up before coming. Brother Chen, where are you all from?"

Ye Xiu had already freshened up, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

Luo Dali grabbed a small stool and sat down, noticing Ye Xiu wanted to chat with them.

"We’re all from Dongzhou, we’re old acquaintances of an officer surnamed Zhang in the task force," Chen Xiao said.

Ye Xiu was slightly surprised: "So you’re Captain Zhang’s old acquaintances!"

"Seems like you were here last time too," Chen Xiao replied.

Ye Xiu nodded: "When I heard my sister had an accident, I rushed here immediately. But I’m not very educated, so I haven’t been much help."

Luo Dali was puzzled: "Isn’t your sister a college student? How come you didn’t go to school?"

"Our family was poor, my sister did very well in her studies, but my dad is disabled and couldn’t earn much. So when she got into the best high school in our area, I went to work with my mom. I was a child worker at the time, only able to work in small workshops. The pay was low, the work was hard, and I often got scolded by my supervisor."

"Later, when I became of age, I got into a legitimate factory, so my earnings increased a bit. My wages went entirely to my sister’s living expenses, and whatever Mom earned beyond what we needed, she saved everything! Then my sister got into college with top scores in the city, and she earned plenty of scholarships."

"Our family thought once she graduated, things would improve. Who would’ve expected, she just visited her sick friend, and something like this happened."

Saying this, Ye Xiu lifted her head with reddened eyes and said, "It’s like our sky has fallen."

With Ye Xiu’s voice trailing off, the room fell silent.

Luo Dali quietly turned his head to wipe his eyes and turned back to look at Ye Xiu, filled with sympathy.

If Chen Xiao didn’t know his nature, he might have thought this scoundrel had learned to sympathize with girls.

Chen Xiao sighed: "The clouds will disperse, everything will get better."

Ye Xiu sniffled and said resolutely: "Yes, I believe those who killed my sister and the others will be caught, definitely!"

"Yes, when we catch that bastard, he won’t die a good death!" Luo Dali said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xiao glanced and said: "Alright, Dali, let Xiaoxiu rest. Escort her, then head to Xiaoji’s and don’t disturb her rest."

"Got it." Luo Dali politely gestured for Ye Xiu with a "please," and after Ye Xiu thanked him, she left.

Soon after, Xiaoji and Knife Man went to their room as well.

Chen Xiao watched Luo Dali leave Ye Xiu’s room before returning to his own.

He lay on the bed without a hint of sleep, because after midnight, it would be the day of the great battle.

He looked forward to seeing if this day would bring a new reward!
