If this is true, then the case... will certainly be solved!

In an instant.

Zheng Shijie’s face turned grim, his thoughts deep.

If the case is solved, Zhao Hailong and the others will surely face death, and by then the fate of Zhao Yue and Zheng Yu would be predictable, likely to die in some corner.

No...

No way!

"Don’t leave the detention center!"

Zheng Shijie suddenly lifted his head and said to Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue paused. Though she didn’t understand, she still trusted him, so she didn’t rush to leave the detention center.

She wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Shijie stood up and left directly.

"I want to see Sun Chuan! I want to see Sun Chuan!!!"

Zheng Shijie shouted at the prison guard. His voice was so loud that it could almost be described as a roar.

He wanted to see Sun Chuan!

He wanted to see Xu Liang!!!

The other party found the ten or so missing jars, had a body, and it’s only a matter of time before they discover the truth at the factory. By then, Zhao Yue will end up as predicted.

And at that time, he would have no value...

At this moment, the police haven’t found out yet, he still has value, he can still negotiate, he can fight for benefits!!!

Thinking of this.

Zheng Shijie’s eyes grew redder and he shouted hoarsely:

"I want to see Sun Chuan!!!"

...

"He wants to see me?"

Jiang City.

In the police station courtyard.

A group of people mingled together, standing around several ceramic jars.

Sun Chuan was among them.

Sun Chuan’s face turned strange upon receiving the news.

"Or rather... he wants to see you."

Sun Chuan looked at Xu Liang who was beside him.

At this moment, Xu Liang was looking at the jars surrounded by a few people.

Or rather, ceramic vats!

This thing was about a meter tall, and as wide as a person’s waist, overall resembling an oversized wine jar.

These were from the pickle factory, the dozen or so jars that disappeared years ago, jars that looked the same.

Hearing Sun Chuan’s words.

Xu Liang didn’t pay much attention, and responded casually:

"The ones who are in a hurry now aren’t us, why didn’t they act earlier, they must hit the wall to know to turn back."

"Leave him be for now!"

Upon hearing this.

Sun Chuan, who originally wanted to investigate immediately, repressed his intentions and reluctantly agreed.

He truly wanted to go now, after all, he’s not the other party, he just wants to quickly figure out the case.

And Xu Liang was now looking at the ceramic vat in front of him.

These were left by the police at that time.

Very sturdy and difficult to break, ordinary people inside couldn’t break out at all.

It’s just that...

Xu Liang paused.

He took off his shoes and coat, trying to squeeze in from the mouth of the jar, but...

"Can’t get in."

Xu Liang was stuck.

His legs lacked space to curl up inside, the entire ceramic vat could only accommodate half a person at most.

If this is the case... then who could have been stuffed into the ten or so ceramic vats that disappeared back then!?

An adult?

Impossible, even an adult of one and a half meters, one-six meters, would have to be very thin.

Like the deceased Qi Yu...

Completely impossible!

Yet Qi Yu could be selected as a target...

So if the method of transport was like this, how was Qi Yu stuffed inside?

"Can people really be hidden inside this?" Sun Chuan was also puzzled.

If it were children, then it could hide many.

But the disabled shelter and those from the pickle factory wouldn’t fit.

Then what on earth was Zheng Shijie transporting in the car back then!?

If there were people inside the jars... what kind of people could be stuffed in?

"The vase girl?"

Sun Chuan proposed a question.

The so-called vase girl is something quite bizarre.

A person without a body... or rather, the body is a vase, with a woman’s head at the mouth of the vase.

The woman is still alive, can speak and greet, the entire person’s body seems to be stuffed into a vase.

However, this is a folk trick created using visual deception, often active in various rural circus performances.

This thing doesn’t quite fit right now.

"That would at least have to be a water jar girl!"

Xu Liang gestured the thickness of the ceramic vat and commented.

But unfortunately.

Based on himself, there’s no way to know this information right now.

Ultimately... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At three-thirty in the afternoon.

"Let’s go see Zheng Shijie."

Xu Liang said.

What is the truth... just ask Zheng Shijie and you’ll know!

Sun Chuan and the others immediately agreed, and Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu were already impatient.

"Let’s go!"

Both parties didn’t hesitate and got into their respective cars.

"Vroom~!"

The engine roared, the four rubber tires turned, and they slowly moved towards the detention center!

The car shuttled along the road.

Around four in the afternoon.

Finally, it came to a steady stop at the entrance of the detention center.

The director of the detention center, who had been contacted by phone in advance, was waiting at the door and immediately stepped forward to greet them upon seeing the group.

"Everyone is ready and waiting in the reception room. If there’s anything you want to ask, now is the best time."

The director said, clicking his tongue while leading the way.

To be honest, he still hadn’t figured out what was going on.

He thought the plan had failed.

But who would have thought Zhao Yue would suddenly come to visit Zheng Shijie voluntarily, as Xu Liang had suggested!

And Zheng Shijie acted like he had gone insane, repeatedly demanding to see Xu Liang, a stark contrast to his previous attitude, almost as if he were a different person.

But... these matters had nothing to do with him.

With that thought, the director quickened his pace and finally stopped in front of a reception room.

He reached out his hand.

"Squeak~!"

The main door of the reception room was pulled open, and the scene inside came into Xu Liang’s view.

Inside the reception room, a haggard Zheng Shijie was sitting there. Upon hearing the noise, he instinctively looked up.

The exhausted, anxious, and tortured face, barely recognizable, appeared before everyone, his bloodshot eyes glaring!

Upon seeing the visitor.

Zheng Shijie felt a tightness in his chest.

"Bang!"

Xu Liang sat directly on the chair opposite, looking at Zheng Shijie in front of him, and smiled.

"So, Mr. Zheng has met with Ms. Zhao?"

"How was it? Did you reminisce about old times, did you feel any comfort?"

Was there?

Zheng Shijie no longer had the energy to deal with these mocking words and remained silent, showing no extreme reaction.

Seeing this, Xu Liang also dropped the mocking tone and directly asked:

"Five years ago... what was in those more than ten missing jars?"

Xu Liang asked calmly, looking at the other person without expression, quietly waiting for an answer.

Zheng Shijie’s lips moved, his heart struggling.

If he spoke, he and Zhao Hailong and the others would die, but his wife and daughter might still live normal lives.

If he didn’t... everyone would die!

Finally.

Emotion overcame selfishness.

Zheng Shijie’s expression gradually broke down, appearing somewhat ferocious.

"People."

"The jars contained people!"

People in the jars... There really were people stuffed inside, but how could they fit?

"I’ve tried, adults can’t fit inside, only children can." Xu Liang spoke again.

It was impossible to fit people into the jars.

They appeared to be able to contain people, but in reality, while a person could stand it, the waist could enter, but the legs couldn’t bend and could only maintain a half-squat, and the upper body couldn’t fit in.

But...

"Only half of them could fit, right?"

Zheng Shijie suddenly gave up, a creepy yet self-mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, only half of them could fit, so..."

"So as long as you cut off the lower half..."

"You can fit into it."

Cut off...

A normal person couldn’t fit inside.

But as long as the lower half was cut off, it could fit into that jar!?

"Where are those more than ten jars now?" Xu Liang’s eyes sharpened.

"Sunk in the river."

Zheng Shijie laughed miserably, revealing a fact that made everyone’s hair stand on end.

"On the way, we met Zhao Hailong seeking help, he and his people solved it on the spot and sank them right into the river."

In an instant.

When these words fell, the entire reception room went dead silent. Sun Chuan was frozen in place, his lips quivering.

Xu Liang continued to ask:

"Why transport these people?"

"Money, they’re very valuable." Zheng Shijie responded.

Money?

Some disabled people with their lower halves cut off...

How much money could they possibly make!? Even at the risk of being executed!

"How valuable are they?" Sun Chuan’s face turned iron blue, asking through gritted teeth.

"How valuable are they?"

Zheng Shijie let out a wretched laugh.

Speaking, a surge of inexplicable emotion welled up from his chest, his adrenaline spiking, and he exclaimed passionately:

"High profit with no cost... high profit with no cost!"

"These people... no, they’re not people..."

"They’re pigs!"

"They’re sows!"

"They’re a bunch of sows that lay golden eggs!!!"
