Chapter 164 - 30_2
His fingertips were severely damaged, and his nails were badly detached. Although the fresh blood had long been diluted by the damp silt, it was still clear that he had struggled fiercely for survival.
*He must have been conscious when he was buried alive.*
*But...*
Tan Yunlong handed the shovel to the policeman beside him and kept stepping back until he reached the edge of the pond. He began to seriously observe the surroundings of the pond and the water tank that had been moved out.
This pond clearly showed no traces of recent excavation. So, how was this fresh corpse buried alive here?
Earlier, when moving the water tank, the moss and vegetation at the bottom clearly blended with the pond bed environment below it. That would have taken years to form, could someone have moved it and then deliberately restored it?
Tan Yunlong had heard of relic restoration, but restoring this... going to such great lengths just to commit murder and conceal a body, wouldn’t it be easier to just toss it into a nearby sand quarry for shredding?
"Everyone except for those digging the body stays out of the pond, be mindful of protecting the scene."
After giving these instructions, Tan Yunlong walked to a corner, squatted down, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
In his mind, he recalled the previous conversation with that little boy named Li Zhiyuan.
The conversation was brief, the boy almost summed up the report in one sentence. What really surprised Tan Yunlong was when he asked him why he specifically came to him to report.
