"What? My mother's body..." Huo Liang seemed very shocked. "How could it be... I clearly sent her to the crematorium with my own hands... This is impossible!"
I reminded him, "Did you see your mother cremated?"
Huo Liang was stunned: "That's not the case, could it be..."
I nodded. "It was at that link that someone switched it."
"Who is so vicious that he doesn't even let the dead go!" Huo Liang was filled with anger.
I took the opportunity to continue asking, "Young Master, do you still remember who your mother offended back then?"
"My mother was a very kind person when she was alive. She was quite conservative in her dealings with others and got along very well with the people around her. How could she have offended anyone?" Huo Liang frowned.
I reminded her, "Since joining this company, has your mother offended anyone? For example, did she do something embarrassing, or had an argument with someone?"
At this point, Huo Liang suddenly raised his head and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems to be true... I remember when my mother first came into the Luo family, she and Yu Jia clashed. Yu Jia has always disliked my mother and opposed her in everything. And my mother doesn't like quarrels, so she has always indulged her..."
"Oh~ So there's this..." I seemed to understand something in an instant, and said earnestly: "It seems that this matter is related to Luo Yujia. Maybe she can't escape the responsibility of your mother's death."
Huo Liang frowned and said, "This doesn't make sense... Yujia is always obedient to me, how could it be possible..."
I smiled and said, "Do you think a little girl would be so embarrassed in front of the handsome guy she likes?"
"You mean..." Huo Liang was stunned by what I said. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm his brother. She should know that this kind of thing is impossible."
I spread my hands and said noncommittally, "It's not like we kissed."
Huo Liang: “…”
After a long while, he stood up and said through gritted teeth, "I will definitely find the murderer and clear my mother's name!"
I said gently, "Young Master, don't be impulsive. You must keep this matter a secret. Don't let the news get out. It's best not to tell anyone, especially your sister Luo Yujia."
Huo Liang nodded slightly: "I understand. I will find time to talk to her. I will contact you if there is any new news."
"Okay, this way, even if I meet your mother, I will have a reason to convince her." I breathed a sigh of relief. Now, if I meet Huo Yan, with my eloquent tongue, I should be able to calm her anger temporarily, right?
Huo Liang said to me earnestly: "Xu Fei, when you see my mother, please say hello to her for me and tell her that I miss her very much..."
I made an "OK" gesture, and Huo Liang said, "Thank you."
After we finished our conversation, we opened the door and left the office. Ning Xue and Yu Jie were still waiting outside, but Zhao Xi and Wu Xin were nowhere to be seen. Huo Liang went up to them and asked, "Where's Xiaoxi?"
Xiaoxi...why does this sound weird to me?
Ning Xue said that Zhao Xi was not feeling well and went to the staff dormitory to rest. As for Wu Xin, he took leave and left the company.
I don’t care much about Zhao Xi’s affairs now. I would rather know what Wu Xin is doing after taking leave from the company?
Just as I was speculating wildly, I suddenly heard screams from outside. It was said that more than a dozen people had committed mass suicide. The remaining three floors of staff were immediately frightened away, leaving less than one floor. We rushed to the scene, and I pinched open the corpse's jaws, only to find a ghost pupa crawling out of its mouth.
I asked Su Xiaoniu in my heart: "What on earth does Huo Yan want to do?"
Su Xiaoniu said, "I only know that her motives are not pure. If she wanted to kill everyone in the company, she could have just had all those employees infected with the ghost pupa jump off the building and commit suicide at once. Why would she have to do it in batches? So, based on my initial judgment, she's trying to distract you, and her real target is most likely a few of you."
How many of us are there? Here, only Ning Xue, Yu Jie, and Huo Liang don't have ghost pupae. Wu Xin, who's on leave from the company, doesn't have one either, nor does Zhao Xi, who's resting in the staff dormitory.
Su Xiaoniu said that Huo Yan's targets were some of us. I analyzed them one by one using the process of elimination - no matter how cruel Huo Yan was, she would never attack her son, so Huo Liang could be eliminated; Yu Jie just had yang deficiency and was easily possessed by ghosts, but people with yang deficiency had little value to ghosts, otherwise Yu Jie would have been killed by Huo Yan long ago, but Yu Jie is still alive and well now, so Yu Jie can also be eliminated; Wu Xin has left the company, but Huo Yan is still carrying out collective suicide in the company, which is enough to show that Wu Xin's existence is dispensable to her, so Wu Xin can also be eliminated.
Then, it was just me, Ning Xue, and Zhao Xi left. Ning Xue and I were together, and things were going well for now, while Zhao Xi was resting in the staff dormitory...
Zhao Xi!
