Suddenly, a woman's violent coughing came from behind the house. It sounded like she was coughing up her lungs, and she seemed to be quite ill.

The clothing store owner's expression suddenly changed. He put down what he was holding, threw out a "poor service" remark, and turned to go to the backyard.

The moment he lifted the curtain, Yan Qing, taking advantage of her position, caught a glimpse of the layout of the backyard.

The huge backyard didn't have a single room! Instead, in the very center of the yard, there was a huge black wooden box.

Yan Qing suddenly had a bad feeling: Could this be a coffin?

What's even more terrifying is that the woman in the backyard was coughing so hard her lungs were practically rotting, yet she clearly saw that the backyard was completely empty just moments before.

Yan Qing secretly whispered her discovery to Yue Qi.

Yue Qi frowned. From the moment he entered Yongning Alley, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

It seems there must be something else besides the coffin.

Taking advantage of the clothing store owner's absence, Yue Qi quickly reached into the front desk and began frantically searching.

Wen Jiajia and the other woman were a step too slow and could only watch helplessly as Yue Qi searched the ledger at the front desk and found a small piece of torn parchment.

"Walk!"

Yue Qi stuffed the things into his clothes and immediately told Yan Qing to leave quickly.

Yan Qing moved swiftly, and before leaving, she casually took an old wooden plank from the shop entrance.

She found it under some clothes near the door; the wooden board was only the size of a palm and had clearly been cut off.

She recognized the words on it, so she instinctively put the wooden block away.

Seeing that the two had almost run far away, Wen Jiajia stomped her foot and finally gritted her teeth and followed.

Yan Qing had just met up with Yue Qi, and the two were about to study the contents of the parchment when they suddenly heard Wen Jiajia's voice behind them.

"Stop! I have something to say."
