Early morning the next day, at a newsstand on the streets of Shencheng.
A few middle-aged men were gathered in front of the newsstand, buying newspapers.
One of the men, holding a newly purchased newspaper, read aloud as he looked at it: "Shencheng Daily headline, major development in the Shencheng Missing Women case!"
"Yesterday, the police captured one suspect and shot another at a villa estate belonging to a certain Zhu, and unearthed ten female corpses from the hillside behind the villa. After police and family verification, these are ten of the missing women in the case from the past six months..."
Afterwards, the men immediately started a lively discussion about the major news.
"The Missing Women case, the police always had no leads, who would have thought there'd finally be progress," said one man wearing glasses.
Another man with sparse hair added, "At last, we can clear the deceased's name."
