Narrow paths lined with plane trees, not very old in age.
Tan Wenbin stopped in front of the tallest and thickest one, then knelt down and began to dig with his hands.
"Stop, I’ll call soone to do the digging."
Tan Wenbin didn’t stop, continued digging, and with increasing vigor.
"I’m right inside, I’m right inside, I’m right inside!"
Li Zhiyuan took out a talisman paper from his pocket and stuck it on Tan Wenbin’s forehead.
Tan Wenbin’s body shuddered, the newspapers at his feet rustled, and his high heels were squeezed out from his feet and fell to the ground.
"Brother Xiao Yuan... I’m a bit cold... Do we have a cotton coat in our dorm?"
"Just sit there and bask in the sun for a while, you’ll be okay."
"Oh."
Tan Wenbin sat under the tree, rubbing his arms up and down, his mouth continuously shivering as he inhaled.
Li Zhiyuan took the talisman off Tan Wenbin’s forehead, which had turned black.
The charms drawn by Alii really have imdiate effects, unlike his own, which only change color.
After a while, seeing Tan Wenbin sowhat recovered, Li Zhiyuan handed him the plastic bag with shoes.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, you’re really considerate."
Tan Wenbin happily put on his shoes, stood up, then jumped on the spot and twisted his body, a crackling of joints sounding from within, stiffened.
"Brother Binbin, go see if your dad has arrived."
"Okay."
Tan Wenbin ran out with a high-knee trot, and at the entrance of the shaded path, he continued the high-knee action while waving:
"Dad, here, here!"
Tan Yunlong, dressed in a police uniform, ca over followed by several colleagues.
Looking at his hopping and jumping son, Tan Yunlong frowned and said, "What’s wrong with you?"
"It’s a chill, I’m exercising."
"Where’s Xiao Yuan?"
"Over there." Tan Wenbin pointed in the direction, then his eyes fixed on the paper bag his father was holding, "Dad, I’m off to change clothes in the dorm."
"This is so snacks I bought for you, take them back with you."
"There’s no one as good as dad on this earth~"
Tan Wenbin took the paper bag and ran back to his dormitory. Upon opening the bag, he found Granny Yu’s case files inside.
But tucked into the crevice of the bag were indeed two pieces of chocolate.
Such an expensive brand, Tan Wenbin was sowhat surprised, his own dad really splurged.
He imdiately opened a pack and popped a chocolate into his mouth; the second piece was left by the pen holder, for Brother Xiao Yuan.
Then, Tan Wenbin dug out a cotton coat he brought at the beginning of the school year for winter, wrapping himself in the coat imdiately brought comfort.
At that mont, soone knocked on the dormitory door.
Tan Wenbin opened the door, to find Lu Yi standing at the entrance with a guitar on his back.
"Let go of my buddy, co at !"
Tan Wenbin was dumbfounded by this loud and seemingly brave but actually apprehensive shout.
"What the, what are you doing?"
"Huh?" Lu Yi looked at Tan Wenbin with a puzzled expression, "Dude, you alright now?"
"I’m fine. Oh, you rewired the electricity in your dorm, right? Go boil so dumplings for , not dry, I want the soup, and cut so sausage to cook with them."
"Oh, okay."
Tan Wenbin went to Lu Yi’s dormitory.
Lin Shuyou was eating on the bed; he imdiately put down his chopsticks upon seeing him: "Big bro, are you possessed?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi first wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then silently added an extra sausage into the pot.
At this mont, there was shouting in the corridor.
Soone from their dormitory ca in, threw a book onto the bed, and urged, "What are you still doing here? At the back of the building, the police are looking for people to dig up a body, co on, let’s go see!"
It takes ti to call for an excavator, and machinery can easily damage the site.
Therefore, the best thod is manual excavation, just like archaeology.
This requires a lot of manpower.
Fortunately, what universities have in abundance are young and energetic workhorses.
These young people are eager for any task, as long as they don’t have to attend classes.
Soon, a group of people who went to borrow shovels ran back, sweating profusely, but determined to keep the last shovel for themselves.
Tan Yunlong started directing the excavation, while his colleagues maintained order on the periter.
Even students from the countryside, who had not done farm work for a long while, felt deplete after shoveling for a bit, let alone those from the city.
But no matter, many people in the surrounding crowd were shouting and even pleading: "Student, please let have a go, let shovel twice."
The police did not tell them they were digging up a body, it was just a rumor they started themselves, although this ti the rumor was correct.
Under the relay of seemingly infinite fresh labor, before the university leaders could arrive with the news, a large hole was dug.
Tan Yunlong tily ordered everyone to stop, and carefully excavated the last bit himself.
A decayed corpse gradually appeared.
Logically speaking, in such an environnt, the body should have decomposed into a skeleton long ago after being buried for so long.
But whether it was because the root system of the large tree had grown through the body, or the influence of the soil quality and Feng Shui around, for so reason, Tang Qiuying’s body was still in a state of decomposition.
The appearance of the body stirred up more excitent among the surrounding college students, and the three officers maintaining order could only shout loudly to barely hold them back.
The windows upstairs were packed with people, so even leaning out almost halfway, and one careless move could result in a fresh corpse on the spot.
Fortunately, at this ti, the backup police force that had been called for also arrived, and order was thoroughly restored.
