Chapter 621: Piles of White Bones!

Following behind Duoduo.

Chen Xiao's heart was actually very conflicted.

On one hand, he hoped that Duoduo, this dog that had triggered a monstrous bloodbath, really had intelligence far beyond its kind and would bring him a surprise unlike any other.

But his rational side told him such thoughts were unrealistic.

He had to admit, a dog is just a dog in the end.

Perhaps it could understand human speech, could differentiate who was who.

But could it really understand human emotions?

With such feelings, Chen Xiao followed Duoduo for a long time.

Finally, when they ran to an old district again.

Duoduo's steps had already slowed down.

It was tired.

It had run at least over ten kilometers on this journey.

In between, Duoduo had found a river to drink some water.

Yet, despite this, when it reached the old district, it lay directly on the ground, panting, to rest.

Chen Xiao didn't press it, instead he reached out to stroke Duoduo's somewhat dirty fur.

After several minutes passed, Chen Xiao finally patted Duoduo's butt:

"Rested enough? Time to continue the journey."

Duoduo lay its head on the ground, absolutely motionless, so Chen Xiao continued:

"I know you're understanding. If you weren't special, your owner Jiang Anguang wouldn't have gone crazy due to your disappearance."

"But looking at you now, you shouldn't be messing with me. Your intelligence shouldn't be that high."

"So, I have a bold guess now. Dog, during your previous disappearance, were you always with Zhu Nianying?"

Chen Xiao talked to himself.

Whether Duoduo was completely rested or sensed Chen Xiao's urgency, it stood up.

Chen Xiao followed suit, watching Duoduo swiftly head in a direction again.

Looking at its silhouette, the anticipation in Chen Xiao's heart grew stronger.

He suddenly felt he might have underestimated Duoduo.

Perhaps this dog could indeed bring him an extremely surprising outcome.

Finally, after a few minutes, in front of an old villa built along the hill, Duoduo stopped.

Looking at that old villa, a glint of precision flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.

However, he didn't ask anything or urge anything.

Duoduo didn't keep him waiting long.

The dog walked toward the back of the villa, and shortly Chen Xiao saw a broken window.

Duoduo leapt agilely and jumped inside.

Chen Xiao didn't hesitate much and followed, using the window to enter the old villa.

Soon, Duoduo opened a door with its paw and then jumped toward a wall.

"Clack clack clack!"

Suddenly, the sound of mechanism echoed.

Chen Xiao felt his heart pounding wildly with it.

Upon entering the old villa, Chen Xiao could feel lots of people had visited here through the Power of Capture.

Yet, nobody seemed to know that there were hidden chambers with mechanisms in this villa!

Because the clean steps clearly showed someone had swept them!

However, this whole old villa gave him an eerie, terrifying sense of desolation.

The feeling from inside when the mechanism opened was equally so.

But having entered, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate much more.

Straightforwardly following behind Duoduo, heading down along the stairs.

After descending a dozen steps, Chen Xiao's expression finally turned to one of horror at this moment.

Underground, it's truly another world!

No, strictly speaking, it's not another world but a series of cells!

Yet that's not the most terrifying thing!

Simple cells wouldn't be enough to shock Chen Xiao!

What's terrifying is, although the basement held no light, his eyesight could clearly see inside each cell, almost always there lay bodies—some crawling, some leaning against walls, some collapsed on the floor!

Each corpse had disheveled hair.

If unexpected, they should all be some girls!

Chen Xiao thought that since he began working in criminal investigations, he could handle all sorts of situations.

But today's scene, at this moment, made him extremely rare to experience severe physiological repulsion.

After overcoming the initial shock, Chen Xiao knew what he had to do.

He quickly ran upstairs to find a signal then called Qin Fei on the phone:

"I'll give you a location, come with a team immediately, hurry, and bring enough people!"

"Has something happened?"

"Can't say over the phone, you'll know the magnitude of it when you arrive. Remember, the team must be sufficient, conservatively estimated I found over ten corpses here!"

"What?!"

Qin Fei's voice was so loud it was slightly hoarse.

Without saying much more, after hanging up, Chen Xiao ran rapidly back into the basement.

Unfortunately, the whole old villa no longer had electricity, so even though Chen Xiao had the Power of Capture, his vision was somewhat limited in such places.

He could only try to identify those corpses one by one.

Sadly, those bodies were equally difficult to identify.

Some even were already completely skeletonized.

No surprise, these corpses should have been placed in the basement for a number of years!

As he checked cell after cell, Chen Xiao found clear footprints in one cell.

So clear, it was evident that someone had walked here recently.

Moreover, this cell didn't have any corpses!

Compared to other cells, this one was much cleaner!

Even Duoduo was constantly in this cell, wandering around!

Looking at Duoduo, Chen Xiao's mind asked himself in horror:

"Could this cell be where Zhu Nianying was held? And was she just recently moved?"

"If not, why would Duoduo keep wandering here?"

For a moment, Chen Xiao had no definite answer and could only continue searching.

However, after a couple more cells, he found another cell without corpses.

This indicates there could possibly be another survivor!

But regardless of a survivor, Chen Xiao felt no optimism.

He pondered, even if there was someone surviving, could that person still be normal?

They might not have seen daylight for years, let alone possibly sharing space with several decomposing corpses!

In such an environment, no matter how rational or resilient a person is, they will certainly collapse!

Chen Xiao's mood grew heavier.

But the only thing he could do was to keep checking.

Finally, Qin Fei arrived with the team.

A full twenty plus police officers, several of them were forensic experts temporarily transferred from other districts.

When they entered the basement, seeing the scene before them, whether seasoned police like Qin Fei or a forensic scientist like Director Wu.

All showed a look of unprecedented shock.

Aside from the shock, some even kept staring at the scene, as if doubting the reality of what they were seeing!
