Inside the tomb boundary, Li Cuilan fell into silence after hearing Xiang Fei's words.
After a long while, she said, "Ever since the village was torn down, I haven't seen my own granddaughter for a long time. I don't know where she lives now, but I felt her presence just now, but it disappeared very quickly."
"Zhao Qingrou? I've never heard of that name before. I've always called her Little Flower. " Li Cuilan said.
After bidding farewell to Grandma Li Cuilan, Xiang Fei continued her exploration of the depths of tomb boundary.
When they walked all the way, they realized that Li Cuilan was truly poor. In such a big tomb boundary, not only were there no living items, there wasn't even a bed. It could even be said to be empty.
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the descendant of the old granny has already been cut off? Then where did she get her underworld money from? " Xiang Fei walked all the way inside. Every time he came across a side road, he would walk to the end to take a look.
Most of the exit locations were desolate, and it was difficult to find any valuable clues.
He was a bit unwilling to give up, but as he continued to walk deeper, he suddenly discovered a road leading to a valley.
Xiang Fei's eyes immediately lit up as he decisively walked out of the old granny's tomb boundary.
Unexpectedly, just as his foot touched the ground, he heard a crisp "ka" sound.
Sin... Sin...
Seeing that there was actually a human bone hidden in the grass beneath his feet, Xiang Fei seemed to have understood something …
The valley was not big, and it was surrounded by mountains on all four sides. In the center of the valley was a pool of water ten meters in diameter. The water was clear, and the fish swam comfortably in it.
The sun was setting in the west and its angle was limited. Inside the valley, half of it was bright and half of it was dark. Occasionally, there would be the chirping of insects, making it seem even more quiet.
Xiang Fei sighed, quietly sizing up the skeleton at his feet. If he guessed correctly, this should be Granny Li Cuilan's corpse.
Only, this place was so remote, and after looking around everywhere, he couldn't find a way out, so how did Li Cuilan get down here?
Flip and fall? Or was he thrown away by a murderer?
From this, it could be seen that Li Cuilan was very poor in tomb boundary, and it was not without reason. At least, her corpse was still lying quietly there, which meant that her family did not know that she had passed away.
Or perhaps it could be said that in her family, the old granny had only disappeared for the time being.
But no matter what conclusion it was, it would require him to stand up and do something after it had been taken care of.
Thus, Xiang Fei took out his phone and called the police.
After receiving Xiang Fei's call, the operator, who had not paid much attention to the human remains, started to pay more attention.
Not long after, Xiang Fei received a call from a serious baritone.
"Hello, I am Xia Qiu. You can also call me Captain Xia. Can you explain in detail to me what you have discovered?"
Hearing that the other party was the captain of the Criminal Police squad, Xiang Fei did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly informed them of his current location and situation in time.
After that, at Xia Qiu's request, he stayed where he was and sent the location over.
After calling the police, Xiang Fei felt a little bored waiting for them. He then went to the side of the lake to admire the scenery and the fresh, fat fish.
To keep him studying a skeleton, he was just an ordinary college graduate, and his heart couldn't take it either.
An hour later, Captain Xia Qiu brought a man and a woman, who were young police officers, down from a 90 degree angle cliff.
"You're finally here!" Xiang Fei greeted with a smile when he saw Xia Qiu's icy face.
"Yes." Xia Qiu's gaze swept across them, and after taking a good look at the environment, she walked to Xiang Fei's side and suddenly made her move, locking him in place.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Fei was confused as he asked.
"Why are you here, and how did you get down? Why are you so sure that this set of remains is Li Cuilan? If you are unable to explain all of this, then there is only one possibility, and that is that you are the murderer! " Xia Qiu stared at Xiang Fei, and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Xiang Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he really was the murderer, would he look for trouble? Not only did he call the police, but he would even obediently wait for them here?
In fact, he'd been thinking about it himself since he'd called the police. How to explain it all.
After all, by relying on his mystical ability to enter and exit tomb boundary, he would be able to directly descend into this valley. As long as Xia Qiu's intelligence was normal, he would be able to tell his problem.
However, with how shrewd the other party was, would definitely be able to see through his lies. If he did not lie, it would be unrealistic for him to tell others about the tomb boundary.
Because even if he said it, the other party might not believe him. If he directly summoned the tomb boundary and displayed his miraculous abilities in public, he would probably be targeted very quickly and be studied like a little mouse. He did not want to see a day like this.
Not only would he be in trouble, he would be in trouble as well. As such, Xiang Fei felt a headache coming on.
"I think that after all these years, you could have said nothing, but you still said it. That only meant one thing, you repented. Because you could not bear the feeling of responsibility, that's why you were willing to say it. Xia Qiu said.
"Hehe, I'm 22 years old this year, and the time of death is inaccurate. If I can deduce that skeleton for at least ten years, then you wouldn't treat me like this. Ten years ago, I was only 12. You overestimated a child's strength and courage too much." Xiang Fei said calmly.
Yes, he could not clearly explain his past, but he could easily draw out the case. As for the other doubts, he could either explain them or not explain them, that was not something he needed to do.
"This …" Xia Qiu was speechless.
In fact, there were too many points of doubt in this case. The reason why he said those words earlier was also to give it a try. If this young man had some sort of connection to the case, it would allow them to avoid taking many detours.
"How did you find this place?" The valiant and formidable policewoman could not bear to see Xiang Fei's calm demeanor, and stared at him as she suddenly asked.
"I came from the mountain side and walked along the pool. I usually like to explore, stir up danger, and travel to places that no one else has walked past. Isn't this against the law?" Xiang Fei organized his words and spoke at a leisurely pace.
"You're lying. There's a footprint on that skeleton, and it was broken by someone. If I'm not wrong, it should be you, right?" The policewoman said.
"Alright, I was wrong. I accidentally fell off from above. It was a bit embarrassing, so …" Xiang Fei corrected himself.
"That's not right. I just checked and didn't see any traces of people falling. Your clothes are also very clean." The policewoman immediately denied it.
"Forget it, it's better if I don't say anything. I didn't do this anyway, I just happened to pass by. Do you believe me or not?" Xiang Fei was too lazy to speak. His silence was like gold.
"Let's go together!" Xia Qiu observed Xiang Fei coldly, and said directly.
Hearing this, Xiang Fei sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, it was still the same in the end.
He had never been close to anyone in Seahold, so he had called the police to do a good deed. However, there were some things he could not explain, and now he was being interrogated as a criminal. Was there still justice in the world?
However, he also knew that his situation was rather special. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have let him off so easily.
Hence, he was very cooperative with their request.
Only after they climbed to the ground did Xiang Fei realize that this place seemed to be in the eastern mountains.
Not far ahead, there was a tunnel that cut through the mountains. It was not considered desolate, but it was a little difficult to descend from there, which was why no one had discovered Li Cuilan's remains.
"In the future, when I encounter something like this again, it would be better to first think of a way to get myself out." Xiang Fei thought to himself.
The rest of the matter was left up to Xiang Fei. After recording the statement, he did not return home as he wished. Instead, he was placed in temporary custody.
Firstly, when he said that his home was in immortal cemetery, the other party did not believe him.
On the other hand, he was never able to fully explain all the suspicions the police had.
Helpless, Xiang Fei suddenly had an idea.
The reason he got into trouble this time was to help Grandma Li Cuilan in the first place. He wanted to help her fulfill her final wish.
If his conjecture was not wrong, Zhao Qingrou should be her granddaughter, but he only knew her name and not her address and contact details. It would be difficult for him to find her, but it would be easy for the police to find her.
Therefore, he directly said: "If you can find Zhao Qingrou, I will answer all of your questions truthfully."
Hearing Xiang Fei's excessive request, the policewoman, Sun Yixiang, gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could whip him on the spot with a small whip.
