They originally thought that getting Ye Hanyi's itinerary would allow them to get closer to the truth. But what they didn't expect was that all the clues they deduced from this would point to the enemies of the Ye Clan in the foreign lands — — Kevis.
Could it be that they had chosen the wrong direction from the start? Could it be that the people who really wanted to kill Ye Hanyi were from abroad?
Since he'd explored this step, he couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated in his heart.
The doubts they had about themselves and the clues they had were like a huge entangled net, strangling their hearts so much that it was hard to breathe.
Although Ye Hanyi didn't have control of Dong Xiaoxiao's body, he was still wandering in her mind. As long as he wanted to, he could still feel the world outside.
Seeing how the crowd had become depressed because of him, was he the one who dragged them down? Why should this ghost that should have disappeared from the world use what had already happened to implicate those who were still alive?
Ye Hanyi hid the complicated feelings in his heart, as if he didn't see or hear anything.
He even comforted Dong Xiaoxiao while she was frowning. Tell her she's done very well.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Le Xiao thought of a new method, or rather, a solution that had no solution.
It was to send people to search for Ye Hanyi at full strength. No matter who it was that killed Ye Hanyi, the only thing they could be certain of was that Ye Hanyi had been there before he died.
Once this idea was put forward, the atmosphere became even more depressing.
You have to believe how desperate and helpless you feel when your partner suggests a time-consuming and possibly fruitless approach to your life when you have nowhere to go.
Qiujiang, as bleak as ever.
It was early autumn, and the wind and sand were blowing freely along the banks of the river. The bushes rustled in the fog, and it sounded as if the dead were groaning over their grievances.
Dong Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a depressing and depressing scene.
They were all fully armed, but even their thickened gloves did not seem to be able to withstand the cold. Dong Xiaoxiao, Tang Shirley, and Le Xiao each brought a portion of their men to search upstream.
A few days passed, and they still had nothing.
The autumn river system was very complex. Aside from the overgrown riverbanks on the ground, there was also an even more dangerous and complicated underwater world. Finding something was like finding a needle in a haystack.
In order to find out the truth behind Ye Hanyi's death, Le Xiao said that this kind of search would not be difficult for him.
Although the Le family wasn't as big of a family as the Ye family's shop leader, he could still afford to send out such a small number of people.
Besides, it was better to have a place to look than not, wasn't it?
Their hard work paid off. After Le Xiao sent out the second wave of people, they finally found a corpse near the Gourd Island in the middle to lower part of the river.
Everyone was very surprised to find such a corpse. Actually, even if you said it was a corpse, you still had to lift it. However, he could still make out its human form. It was completely unrecognizable and rotten to the core.
When they picked up this pile of "objects", no one dared to say that they were Ye Hanyi's corpse. However, under Le Xiao's instructions, they still brought this completely unrecognizable corpse to the hospital.
When Dong Xiaoxiao and Tang Shirley heard the news, they rushed to the hospital. However, they only had time to take a quick glance at the corpse. They could only sit quietly to the side and wait for the results.
"Ye Hanyi, Ye Hanyi."
Dong Xiaoxiao tried to call out Ye Hanyi, but no response came.
Dong Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Since I guessed that the corpse belonged to Ye Hanyi from the items on me, why not let Ye Hanyi determine for himself? Waiting like this really makes one anxious."
What she didn't expect was that the reason Ye Hanyi didn't appear was because he could feel a strange sense of familiarity from the body he retrieved.
He looked at the corpse, and his head hurt like it was going to explode. There were always scenes of him on a boat, but if he was asked what exactly he remembered, he couldn't say anything.
After repeating this cycle for a long time, Ye Hanyi had no choice but to break off the connection with Dong Xiaoxiao and return to his sea of consciousness to rest.
Actually, before Ye Hanyi had broken off his connection with Dong Xiaoxiao, there was one thing that he hadn't said before, which was that pile of "items" they had salvaged. That pile of "items" was his corpse.
He didn't say anything, because it was hard for him to accept that he would also become like that, ugly …
Five years in the cold waters of the river.
After going through various scientific tests and comparing them with the information that Ye Hanyi left behind when he was still alive, they confirmed that this completely different looking corpse belonged to Ye Hanyi.
After Tang Shirley found out about the results of the test, she didn't care about the stench or the filth of the corpse. Instead, she leaned over the corpse and continued to cry. It was useless trying to persuade her.
Dong Xiaoxiao tried a few times, but failed to pull her away.
"Don't worry about Dong Xiaoxiao, just let her cry for a bit." Le Xiao spoke out to stop Dong Xiaoxiao.
He watched from the side with an ugly expression on his face. It was probably because he saw his good friend's corpse and felt indignant for him.
As they looked at the corpse, they didn't know what to say to ease the depressing atmosphere.
They should have thought of it earlier, right?
If they continued their investigation, what they saw would be even more unacceptable than a corpse like this. Even the ugly nature of humans, their own dangers, and all sorts of difficulties, they should have long been prepared for this.
Seeing that her body was trembling from crying, Le Xiao sighed and went up to comfort her.
"If we die, we must live. What we need to do is to find out the truth, so that we won't let Ye Hanyi down." Then, Le Xiao cast a meaningful glance in Dong Xiaoxiao's direction.
Le Xiao patted Tang Shirley's back and softly consoled her as before. The words that she said made Dong Xiaoxiao feel much better.
Glancing at the corpse again, Dong Xiaoxiao felt a sense of sadness. How much hatred did the murderer have for Ye Hanyi? Not only did he throw his corpse into the river, but he also obstructed their efforts to investigate Ye Hanyi's death.
He sighed with emotion. He remembered that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods and wanted to use a scientific method to explain the phenomenon. Dong Xiaoxiao couldn't help sighing at her previous thoughts. He was too young.
After getting to know Ye Hanyi and participating in this investigation, Dong Xiaoxiao finally understood that many things were not what she had expected. Furthermore, the complexity of people's hearts had always surpassed her imagination.
This was a huge development for their investigation. Perhaps they could deduce some new clues from this corpse?
