In the dead of night by the river, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive.
Someone was cautiously probing the riverbank with a long pole, poking here and there.
A few bolder individuals waded into the shallow water, bending over and feeling around in the icy river.
Nearby, a group of people formed a circle, exchanging ideas and passionately discussing their search strategies, each hoping to contribute to uncovering the truth.
Time ticked away, and the faint light of dawn slowly spilled over the river's surface, creating a shimmering scene that should have been beautiful. Yet at that moment, no one’s mind was on the picturesque view.
Suddenly, a loud splash broke the tranquility of the riverside, drawing everyone's attention.
It turned out to be an experienced fisherman whose hook had snagged something heavy. With a strong pull, a black garbage bag emerged from the water.
The bag was slowly dragged to shore, and several young men stepped forward to open it. Upon seeing what was inside, everyone gasped in horror; a portion of human tissue was exposed, pale and chilling.
A girl let out a scream and immediately retched, causing chaos as shocked voices and frantic discussions erupted all around.
Before long, the police arrived swiftly.
They skillfully set up a cordon, securing the scene tightly.
A professional salvage team boarded a boat and headed downriver, their vessel slicing through the water and creating rippling white waves.
The underwater detection equipment buzzed as it continuously searched for any possible evidence beneath the surface. On the riverbank, the police were loudly reassuring the crowd, "Everyone, please remain calm and cooperate with the investigation."
At the police station, I paced anxiously outside with Su Yao, waiting for any news. Finally, a young officer approached us with a serious expression and informed us that the preliminary examination results were not optimistic. The human tissue found likely belonged to Jiajia, but further detailed identification was necessary.
Upon hearing this news, my heart sank. I felt a mix of relief at being closer to the truth and deep sorrow for Jiajia's fate. Meanwhile, news of the body being recovered spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood.
A concerned neighbor hurried to Jiajia's home to deliver this dreadful news to her family.
When Grandma Li heard it, color drained from her face, and she began to tremble slightly.
Jiajia's mother had been closely following updates online and had already seen the information circulating among netizens.
Anger and despair flooded her heart.
She marched straight up to Grandma Li and demanded loudly, "Did you kill Jiajia? How could you harm your own granddaughter like this?"
Grandma Li's eyes darted around as she nervously defended herself, "It wasn't me, I didn't..." But her uncontrollable fear betrayed her.
Seeing Grandma Li's reaction, Jiajia's father couldn't help but feel suspicious as well.
He stepped forward alongside his wife and questioned his mother, "Mom, what is going on? You need to tell us the truth!"
Grandma Li had regained her composure and began to throw a tantrum, sitting on the floor and crying out, "I'm wronged! How can you suspect me like this!"
At that moment, the police arrived, presented their credentials, and took Grandma Li away for questioning.
The incident quickly escalated, and public opinion could not be contained. Within a few days, Grandma Li found herself in court.
She was brought in wearing tattered clothes, her hair a disheveled mess.
At first, she feigned innocence, playing dumb in response to the judge's critical questions. She either mumbled incoherently or attempted to evade the inquiries, refusing to disclose any useful information.
The judge frowned, his expression serious as he repeatedly asked loudly, his voice echoing in the courtroom. Yet she acted as if she couldn't hear him, continuing her charade.
Suddenly, Grandma Li clutched her chest, contorting her face into a pained expression and pretending to faint.
In an instant, the courtroom erupted into chaos.
Nearby medical personnel rushed forward in a flurry, ready to check on her.
I gritted my teeth in anger, silently cursing: This old woman! Even at this point, she's still putting on a show. Does she really think everyone is a fool?
