In the evening, the little girl drove over to pick up the two of them and pulled them to the morgue of a hospital in South City. Ashley was already waiting there. What's going on? "Can you confirm that it's him?" Yao Lin asked her hurriedly as soon as she got out of the car. Ashley said to him in a low voice, "There's a cricket fair near Muxiang Park today, and someone set up a big game in there. I figured Young Master Huan would show up and I wanted to go over there, but I was afraid you wouldn't let me go, so I didn't tell you. I went there and asked my friend to take me there, and sure enough Young Master Huan was there with his girlfriend. I was going to call you when I saw you, but I didn't expect... He didn't think that Ye Zichen would suddenly go crazy for some reason, and use a huge rock to smash his own head. That girl tried to stop him, but she was also smashed in the head by a rock. At that time, the surrounding people were all scared silly, wanting to block him, but they didn't dare to. "In the end, he used a stone to smack his female companion's head until it was rotten, then smacked his own head again. He kept yelling at her to catch some insects, until he died …"
Yao Ling's brows wrinkled as she finished listening. She glanced at the morgue and asked, "Is he in there now?" Ashley nodded and said, "People who die accidentally around here usually send them here. I asked around and after spending a bit of money, I'll take you in later. See if it's the young master you're looking for, I've only seen photos."
At this time, a middle-aged fat man walked over with a smile. From afar, Yao Ling could smell his scent of alcohol, so the man bowed to Ashley and said, "Oh, Miss Ma, you're here. You're really punctual. I'll take you guys in. Look at this... "Ahh!" "He held out his hand and made a gesture of counting the money. Ashley smiled as he took two bundles of money out of his handbag and handed them to him. The short, fat man put them away with satisfaction and led them into the morgue.
Entering the door, they found a room that looked like an office. The man told them to wait here, and then he entered and pushed out two carts with two corpses on them. He opened the bag and said to Yao Yun and the others, "What are you looking at? Hurry up, this is against the rules, if not …"
Yao Yun didn't wait for him to finish speaking and walked over to carefully examine the two corpses. The female corpse's head had already been smacked out of shape, making it impossible to see its original appearance. Yao Ling reached out to pull the body bag down, revealing the female corpse's chest. Those firm and dark yellow breasts were filled with black holes. Yao Yun found the chopsticks used by the pair of Corpsemancer to investigate the situation, but there were no poisonous wasps. It was likely that she had exhausted herself during the battle at the Winding Tailed Tower that day. Yao Yun then looked at the other male corpse. The head of the male corpse was relatively intact. If one were to carefully examine it, they would be able to confirm that it was indeed Young Master Huan's corpse. Yao Ling used her trembling hands to pull the body bag close as she muttered, "Alright …" "Alright …"
After seeing that they had finished looking at the corpse, the Corpsemancer pushed the cart back. The others didn't bother with him and went straight outside. Ashley said to Yao, "I sent people to investigate and found out that this Young Master Huan's identity is very mysterious. Only a few people know that his surname is Li, but no one knows his specific name. Fortunately, others have died and no one will threaten you anymore. I will slowly inquire about other things. "
Ashley slowly took out a bone ash urns from her bag, passed them to Yao, and softly said, "I've already sent people to search the building you guys went to that day, and they've already cleared out the place. We didn't find those dried corpses and centipedes you mentioned, but … They found a charred body. It should be your friend, Old Hu's … "
Yao Ling took the urns, looked down at them in silence, then said to Ashley, "Thank you." Then he said to the bone ash urns, "Old Hu, your brother is incompetent and was unable to avenge you. However, this grandson has already died. I'll bring you home now."
"Where are you going?" I'll send you off! " Ashley asked as he chased after her. Yao Yun didn't say much and got into her car. She told her to drive to Old Hu's house.
Old Hu lived in an old residential building near the Pan Family residence. After knocking for a long time, Old Hu's mother finally opened the door. Seeing that it was Yao Yun, the old lady was overjoyed. "Third Bro, you haven't come to my house for so many years, hurry up and come in, you've come at the right time, your brother went out to do business. Tell me, where did this little brat go? He hasn't called me for almost a month."
Yao Yun couldn't hold it in any longer. He took two steps into the room and knelt down on the ground. He held the bone ash urns and cried, "Auntie, Old Hu is gone!"
Old Hu's mother froze and looked at the casket. It was as if she suddenly understood what had happened. She opened her mouth to cry, but no sound came out. Then, there was a grunt from her throat before she fell to the ground. When Wei Wuji saw this, he hurried over to support her. He complained to Yao Ling: "My brother, you're too silly. The old lady is so old and can't take it anymore."
Everyone stepped forward to try to save Old Hu's son, but Old Hu's mother finally woke up. However, she didn't cry and instead clutched Yao Yun's hand and asked, "Third Brother, tell me, why is my son gone?!"
Yao Yun recounted what had happened, but the old lady was surprisingly calm. She kept asking about some details, and it was obvious that she was trying her best to hold it in. When she heard that the person who killed her son killed her crazily, the old lady nodded and said, "Sure, my son didn't lose, he gave a Gu in that woman's ears, and the Gu bug passed on to that b * stard. He hallucinated that the two of them had crickets in their ears, and he wanted to catch them so he took a stone and smashed their heads open, well done!"
When the crowd heard her words, they finally came to a realization. Old Hu knew that he had been poisoned by the scorpion, so he used a suicidal tactic, taking advantage of the other party's moment of laziness to plant a Gu on the woman's body. They were only waiting for a few days for the couple with the Gu worm to attack before their heads would be smashed.
Old Hu's mother wiped out his ashes and placed them next to Old Hu's father's memorial tablet. After a long while, she finally opened a drawer and took out a notebook to give to Yao Yun. She said, "Old Third, you are my son's best friend, and it's all thanks to you taking him away this time … Sending it home is a skill passed down in the Hu family. Even my son doesn't have it, so this book can't be lost, so I'll just give it to you. "
He knew that the records here were all about the insect control techniques passed down from Old Hu's family for generations. Wiping away his tears, he said to Old Madam, "Auntie, Old Hu is no longer around. I promised to help him show his filial piety. From now on, you are like our mother, you …"
The old lady waved her hand and said, "You don't need to worry about it. You can rest assured that I will be able to hold on. I plan to bring the two of them back to my hometown." Don't miss me. If there's anything I need you for, I'll call you. Ah, that's it. You guys can go back. Go back. "
Yao Yun didn't know what to say anymore. She had no choice but to take out the money that she had borrowed from Ashley and put it on the table. "You can use this money first. I'll come and see you in a while." The old lady nodded and did not refuse, sending them out the door.
After leaving Old Hu's house, Ashley drove them to a restaurant and found a secluded corner to sit down. He casually ordered some food and wine and they drank in silence. Third brother, do you have any plans for the next stage? " she asked Yao Yun.
Yao Ling dumbly raised her wine cup and drank a cup of white wine, sighing without saying anything. Ashley said, "If you still want to work with me, then our contract is still valid, and if you... "I can give you a sum of money, you guys …"
Yao Yun remained silent. He drank a few cups of white wine and then stood up to leave with Wei Wuji. Before she left, Yao Ning finally turned around and said to her, "Thank you! These days, I don't plan to go anywhere. Our contract is still valid. If you need anything, just call me." With that, he left the restaurant with Wei Wuji.
Ashley stared at the two of them walking away, his heart even more determined and convinced. These two men were trustworthy, perhaps they could really help him achieve his salvation. At the very least, they could stop his father's crazy plan.
Every day, he would just stay at home to drink and watch movies. From time to time, he would also take out the photo albums from the past and silently look through them. Sometimes, Wei Wuji was worried that something might have happened to him while he was bored at home. Thus, he wanted to drag him out to have fun and relax. However, Yao Yun couldn't muster up any interest. In his heart, he felt that he had really failed. After so many years of doing nothing, he could not even preserve his brother's life. What was the point of living like this? It was hard to find anything to be interested in other than alcohol and women's anesthetic. He even thought of taking drugs. It was at this moment that he truly understood that the genius of the detective world he had seen in the novel Holmes had to live on morphine in the absence of a case. In Yao's heart, he really hoped that he could wake up one morning and receive Ashley's call. He hoped that Ashley would entrust him with a case, hoping that she would take him on another adventure.
This amount of money was enough for him to spend for a while. Furthermore, he had a new girlfriend, so every day, he would leave early and return late. If he wasn't worried about Yao Yun, perhaps he would have moved out to live alone.
