chi jiao smiled slightly, looking as gentle as ever. ” “uncle, i don’t mind. please take us to the old man’s house.”
“alright, let your friend get in the car. i’ll drive you in.” liu daguo said enthusiastically.
chi jiao beckoned to the two of them. bai xiaozhou quickly walked over, turned over, and got into the tricycle. he sat down on it, not minding at all.
beitang lie, on the other hand, was not used to it. he stood behind the tricycle and hesitated.”boss, are we really going to take this car?”
beitang lie had never thought of himself as a pretentious person, but he was also the young master of the beitang family. if he didn’t go out in a luxury car, then he would go out in a sports car. when had he ever sat in a diesel-burning tricycle before?
for a moment, he could not overcome the psychological gap.
“if you don’t sit, i’ll deduct your salary.” chi jiao said indifferently.
after hearing this, beitang lie didn’t hesitate and immediately got into the car. he was faster than a monkey.
chi jiao shook her head helplessly and looked at liu daguo. ” “uncle liu, i’m counting on you.”
“alright!” liu daguo started the tricycle and drove into the village. he stopped in front of an unassuming mud house on the edge of the village.
“this is the old man’s home.”
chi jiao nodded and jumped out of the car. after entering the old man’s house, she looked around.
“boss, look at this.” after beitang lie entered the southeast corner of the house, he quickly found chen li’s necklace in the corner.
however, chen li’s necklace had been smashed and was stained with blood.
“ah, why is there blood on the ground?” bai xiaozhou walked over to take a look and realized that the old man’s bed was not far from the necklace. there was a dried blood stain on the ground.
even though the old man had been dead for almost a month, the room still had a faint smell of blood.
” the old man accidentally cut himself and bled to death. he didn’t have a family. after the people in our village buried him in his land in the mountains, no one came to his room. no one cleaned up the blood on the ground either. ” liu daguo realized that there were people in the room and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was gloomy. ” you guys take your time here. i’ll go out and wait for you. ”
chi jiao waited for liu daguo to leave before turning on the light in the room.
after the room was lit up, the bloodstains on the floor became even more obvious. due to the passage of time, the blood had already oxidized and turned black. because the blood was too thick, the blood had coagulated into a sticky gel-like substance on the ground.
” this blood has traces of man-made destruction. ” after chi jiao finished speaking, she reached out to take the necklace and looked at the bloodstains on it. she realized that the bloodstains on it were no different from the sticky bloodstains on the ground.
“so, so chen li has been here before? did he damage the blood on the ground?” the more bai xiaozhou spoke, the more afraid he became.
“xiaozhou, you should also go outside and wait for us. i’ll also go ask uncle where the old man is buried.” chi jiao said.
when bai xiaozhou heard this, he suddenly had an extremely bad feeling. ” “boss, you’re not going to see the body, are you? we have a rule here that you can’t disturb the person buried for a month, or something big will happen! besides, we’re looking for chen li. why do we have to keep staring at this old man?”
” i suspect that chen li’s goal is the old man’s body … alright, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. go on. ” chi jiao didn’t want to scare bai xiaozhou, so she stopped halfway.
