For Xu Taiping, this was an interlude. Book Net

Zheng Zhongmin had already left, and Xu Taiping did not stay in the main hall any longer. He went straight downstairs to find Ouyang Jingyu and explain his purpose there.

"You mean you suspect your father's death?" Ouyang Jingyu asked.

"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"If you do suspect, you can call the police and then we can start the judicial process. I'll have the city police medical examiner and the police officer do an autopsy on your father's body. You don't have to do it yourself. " Ouyang Jingyu said.

"I don't want my dad to be a case in your file." "If my father died naturally, then everything is fine. If my father did not die naturally, then I will use my own way to find the murderer. Getting involved in the administration of justice is too troublesome, so, please, Bureau Chief Ouyang. "

"Alright!" Ouyang Jingyu nodded, and then called his men. Not long after, an application card with the seal on it appeared in Xu Taiping's hand.

Xu Taiping thanked Ouyang Jingyu, then left the city police station to call Wu Limei.

"The application has already been submitted, right? "Alright then, Bro Xu. Come over to the Golden Valley Hotel; my Dad is here. My Dad says that you should come over now. You can leave now." Wu Limei said.

"Alright!" As Xu Taiping spoke, he quickly drove towards the Golden Valley Hotel.

Jingu Hotel, downstairs.

Xu Taiping met Wu Limei, Sun Jianyong, and Wu Limei's father, Wu Dajun.

Wu Dai was a man in his fifties. Although he was young, his hair was already graying and the skin on his face was loose. He looked more like a man in his sixties or seventies.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Xu Taiping took the initiative to shake hands with Wu Dajun.

"Hello, thank you for taking care of my daughter!" Wu Dajun said seriously to Xu Taiping, his voice low and not too loud.

"No, no." Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile.

"I still have things to do in the afternoon, so we shouldn't delay any longer, right?" Wu Dun asked.

"Sure!" As for Wu Limei and Sun JianYong, Xu Taiping did not let them follow. After all, they were going to have the autopsy conducted this time, not just on a trip. Taking Wu Dajun with them would be more than enough.

Wu Dajun had brought a white metal box with him, but no one knew what was inside.

The two of them headed in the direction of Crimson Flame Town, and arrived before long.

This time, Xu Taiping kept a low profile when he returned to Crimson Flame Town. Without any notice, he drove the car through the entire town and arrived at his house.

This home was quite lively during the new year, but it was very quiet now. However, the front door was very clean, and according to Flowers, Zhou Ziyun would occasionally come and help him clean the front door. As for the inside of the house, since he couldn't go in without a key, he naturally couldn't clean it.

Xu Taiping parked the car and brought Wu Dai to the back of the mountain. After about ten minutes, the two arrived at a small mountain.

Directly opposite the col was a stretch of mountain range. The mountain range opposite the col just happened to have three peaks. According to the locals, this place was very good.

Xu Taiping didn't have much research on feng shui, so he naturally didn't know what was so good about it.

There was a large grave in the cove, with two pictures of it on the headstone that could no longer be seen.

This was the tomb of Xu Taiping's parents. Xu Taiping's father had died a long time ago, and had been buried here. Not long after that, Xu Taiping's mother died as well, and they were buried together according to her mother's wishes.

After leaving Crimson Flame Town, he had never returned to this place again, nor had he paid respects to his parents. On one hand, because Xu Taiping had lived in the dark world for a long time, both of his hands were constantly stained with blood, he did not want his parents to see him, on the other hand, because Xu Taiping did not want to think back to when he was young. To be honest, Xu Taiping's childhood had not been so good, because his parents died too early, his memories of his parents were already very shallow.

It had already been more than four months since the new year, so logically speaking, this place should have been overgrown with weeds long ago. However, what surprised Xu Taiping the most was that this place was extremely clean, and there was still quite a bit of paper money on the ground, as well as an unburnt incense stick.

As for who paid their respects to him, Xu Taiping did not know. Perhaps it was Tu, or perhaps it was someone else who had received Xu Taiping's favor. After all, Xu Taiping was now one of the benevolent people in Crimson Flame Town.

Opening up a coffin was something extremely unlucky, especially towards the grave of one's family's elders. According to the ancient saying, one would be struck by lightning from the heavens, so Xu Taiping specifically bought paper money, incense, and the like.

Xu Taiping lit up three incense sticks, knelt in front of the grave, kowtowed three times, and said, "Dad, mom, today I opened the coffin for you, but our ancestor did not mean that I should open it for you. If you want to blame me, don't blame me, go blame our ancestor, please!"

With that, Xu Taiping placed three incense sticks in front of the grave, and then burned the paper money.

Only after doing all this did Xu Taiping pick up the shovel and start digging the grave.

According to the superstitions, if you dug a grave, the dead would be unhappy, because it was equivalent to digging someone's house. They would come find you for revenge, but if you were a relative of the tomb master, perhaps because of their blood ties, the tomb master might not find you too annoying.

Xu Taiping was extremely fast, and soon, the tomb was dug up.

Two coffins appeared within the grave.

The two coffins were carved with dragons and phoenixes.

The dragon carving was naturally the coffin of Xu Taiping's father, Zhao Dingjun, and the phoenix carving was the coffin of Xu Taiping's mother, Xu Qingzhi. Although the two coffins had been buried for more than 20 years, they still looked intact.

The two coffins were next to each other. It could be seen that Xu Qing Zhi loved Zhao Dingjun very much.

Xu Taiping put his hands together, bowed three times towards the coffins, and said, "Dad, mom, don't blame your son. Your son did all this for the Old Ancestor!"

With that, Xu Taiping looked at Wu Dai and said, "Sir Wu, should I open the coffin now, or what should I say?"

"No rush." Wu Dajun said as he jumped into the grave with his suitcase and opened it.

There was a lot of stuff in the suitcase that Xu Taiping couldn't name.

Wu Dajun took up an iron rod and inserted it beside Zhao Dingjun's coffin. He then installed a loudspeaker on the iron rod.

"What is this?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This thing can absorb over a hundred kinds of poisonous elements. When the coffin is opened, the air currents inside would be able to flow outwards. If there is a poison in the air current, this thing can absorb these poisonous elements immediately, making it convenient for me to detect!" Wu Dun said.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping was suddenly enlightened. He then saw Wu Dajun dig up a lot of soil.

After doing all this, Wu Dun looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Open the coffin!"

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, took a deep breath, grabbed the coffin with both hands and pulled it up.

This heavy, almost undamaged coffin board was directly lifted up by Xu Taiping.

The smell of rotting corpses drifted out from the coffin.

Wu Dun looked at Xu Taiping and said, "You sure are strong. This coffin plate must weigh at least a hundred catties."

Xu Taiping didn't say anything. He placed the coffin plate on the side of the grave, and then he walked back to the coffin and looked inside.

Inside the coffin was the skeleton of a human body.

Twenty years was more than enough to turn a corpse into a pile of bones.

Although more than 20 years had passed, when he saw this skeleton, Xu Taiping's heart still became heavy.

After all, this man was his father.

Wu Dajun put on a gauntlet and began to collect things from the coffin.

Xu Taiping didn't know much about this, and he didn't want to see it, so he went to the side and stood next to his mother's coffin.

About ten minutes later, Wu Dajun had already put everything back into his metal box. He then said to Xu Taiping, "It's done."

Xu Taiping nodded, walked back to the coffin, and then bent down to restore all the bones in the coffin.

After doing all this, Xu Taiping closed the coffin.

"Should we inspect the person inside the coffin?" Wu Dun pointed to Xu Qingzhi's coffin and asked.

"This..." Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's check it out. After all, not long after my father left, my mother also left."

"En!" Wu Dai nodded and said, "Then please wait for me for a moment."

After saying that, Wu Dajun also placed a few items beside the coffin. After these items were all installed, he said to Xu Taiping, "Open the coffin."

Xu Taiping nodded, grabbed the coffin with both hands and pushed.

The coffin was immediately lifted up by Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping didn't look into the coffin, instead, he carried the coffin over to the side and placed it next to the grave.

Wu Dajun walked to the side of the coffin and looked inside.

When he saw it, Wu Dun was stunned.

"Little Xu, hurry over here!" Wu Dajun said to Xu Taiping.

"What's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked as he walked over.

"Take a look for yourself." Wu Dun pointed to the coffin.

Xu Taiping looked into the coffin.

When he saw it, Xu Taiping stared in shock.
