Six five six six.

"This guy's secret is that he fell into a cesspit once......."

??????

Holy shit. 、

Li Tian said: "Just this?"

Chen Fan said: "Right, right, big bro, how did you dispose of the bodies?"

The man said: "Once a person's killed, I just put them in the basement, toss in some mycelium or whatever, the body rots down real fast on its own. Once the flesh is gone, I gather up the bones and toss them out together."

"Oh, didn't you give your dog one?"

"Can't do that, things go wrong easy."

The man looked at Li Tian and said: "How'd you find me?"

Li Tian was speechless, and said: "Zoning. The way you dumped the bodies was particular — unless it was pure coincidence, basically no one would find the bones. Means you know the reservoir nearby pretty well."

"But there's so many spots around here."

Li Tian said: "I know, but the kind of person bored enough to dump bodies — eighty percent of them aren't laborers, right? The area's mostly villages, plenty of laborers around, so the rest of the people are easy to narrow down. Plus, generally speaking, perverts aren't short on cash — that's my theory."

The man was speechless.

He looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said: "Why are you looking at me?"

"How'd you find me?"

Chen Fan said: "Simple — bone density, plus time estimation. Even if you sped up the rotting, you can still calculate it. On my end I just worked out the general direction of the person, basically meaning I know what this person does for a living."

The man said: "You're impressive. I already messed things up to that state, and you still figured it out."

The man spoke very calmly, but the calmer he got, the more it gave people a creeping, spine-chilling, cold feeling.

Chen Fan said: "Separating the flesh was just rotting — you didn't use any machine?"

"I had a machine. I built one myself — it wouldn't hurt a person. Toss them in, and in a bit there wasn't much left. But the fungal rotting is more reliable. The machine always leaves some behind, and I still have to go check."

Chen Fan said: "Why do you care if flesh is left behind?"

"I was worried the plastic bag would tear and the fish would drag the bones out."

Li Tian said: "The first time you killed someone — who was it, and when?"

The man fell silent, then said: "I don't know."

This time it was Chen Fan's turn to be shocked. Li Tian, helpless, said: "Sigh, a lot of people reject the very first person they killed — even when they know it's the death penalty, they still reject that first kill. Chen Fan, I'll trouble you in a bit — head over, the seminar's still going on, do me a favor and find someone."

Chen Fan nodded and got up to head outside.

When he reached the door, the man looked at Chen Fan and said: "The secret in my heart is only this?"

"Yeah, just the thing about you falling into the cesspit. Nothing else."

"Oh, alright then. Looks like, sure enough, nobody knows the secret in their own heart. Chen Fan, if you were handling bones, how would you do it? I feel like my method wasn't good enough."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Let me tell you… handling bones…"

Li Tian coughed once. Chen Fan, helpless, said: "Sigh, can't say it. Once I'm not live-streaming anymore, I'll tell you. Listen, your methods are too Clumsy — I've got even better ones."

The man said: "Mm."

Chen Fan said: "Right, you could've burned the bones — why keep them around?"

The man didn't answer.

Li Tian sank into thought.
