The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Coffin Buried in the Cement Ground

Even though Scarlett Jennings had just helped the police catch Dashiell Xalvadora, the serial killer, Daniel Wright felt he was being a bit rash at the time.

Was he really going to spend a lot of effort digging up the foundation of the house just because of a young girl’s words?

And once the foundation was disturbed, the house couldn’t be lived in.

Would the homeowner allow it?

Perhaps noticing his hesitation, Quincy Zimmerman urged him directly,

"Master Jennings said there are bones down there, so there must be bones down there, officer, let’s hurry and send someone over!"

Daniel Wright, ...

What kind of feudal superstition was this ’Master Jennings’ title?

Was this show’s producer a bit dull?

He didn’t believe in any mystical supernatural stuff, but subtly, he had a feeling that made him want to trust this little girl named Scarlett Jennings.

Perhaps she had known some clue in advance?

Just as Daniel Wright hesitated, Sebastian Carew suddenly spoke up as well,

"Officer, please send someone over, if it turns out there are no bones down there, I’ll cover all the losses incurred."

Sebastian wasn’t saying this because he had so much money to burn, but he wanted to confirm if Scarlett Jennings really had talents beyond ordinary people.

Quincy Zimmerman, hearing this, immediately offered to contact the homeowner to seek approval.

On the homeowner’s side, they already knew there was an issue with the house when the show aired, and hearing now that there might be bones buried underneath, they hesitated no longer.

Dig, quickly dig.

If the bones aren’t found, the house is as good as lost to them now.

With the homeowner’s permission, Daniel Wright had no more qualms.

Dig!

So, an hour later, a team of officers, equipped with electric drills, started drilling according to the area marked by Scarlett Jennings.

Initially, the filming had been interrupted, so fans who knew the filming location gathered around, and with the police activity, the media soon got wind and arrived.

Soon, the concrete ground was drilled open, and the police, guided by Scarlett Jennings, unearthed a whole piece of cement containing a small coffin.

After much effort, people broke open the cement along with the coffin, finally revealing the bones inside.

A small child’s skeleton, roughly the size of a three-year-old.

At the sight of the child’s skeleton, many young officers’ eyes turned red.

What kind of parents would pour a child’s coffin into concrete ground?!

Even with a coffin, sealing the body in concrete was no different from performing a Life Pile ritual!

Even as successors of modern socialism, they had heard of the concept of Life Pile online.

In ancient times, fearing the destruction of a place’s geomancy during construction or frequent accidents occurring, people would choose to bury children alive to ward off evil.

Judging by the child’s bones in the coffin, although they couldn’t determine whether the child was entombed in the cement before or after death, even if it wasn’t premeditated murder, it involved the crime of mutilating a corpse.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

"The old lady living in the villa diagonally across might be related to this child. If an investigation is needed, perhaps it could start with her."
