Chapter 806: Late Night Strange Things (I)
"I know you heard it clearly."
"Let's not repeat it."
"Hey, this tea is really good. Tsk tsk, it would be a shame if you don't drink it."
"But don't waste it. I hate waste the most."
After saying that, Xie Yao picked up Tu Ran's cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
In Tu Ran's opinion, Xie Yao didn't get any information out of him during this visit.
But it gave me two important messages.
She really didn't know about the will.
Of course, the Xie family will not announce it to the public.
But the old lady's body...
Oops, that's not good!
Tu Ran didn't say anything, went out and drove to the funeral home.
The old lady's body is kept in the largest funeral home in Hong Kong, and this matter has been reported in the news a long time ago.
Inside the black Land Rover executive car.
Xie Yao put on sunglasses and whistled.
Lin Siyao was a little sour, "Why don't you tell her what to do? It will be more fun when things get chaotic. Are you interested in her too? This little bitch is so good at pretending to be innocent and seducing rich kids like you."
Xie Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the receding figure.
"It's really interesting."
"No wonder Xie Nancheng likes it."
"If she's willing to follow me, I'd definitely give it a try."
Lin Siyao was so angry that she was fuming. "Don't worry, she won't be with you. She just likes to keep men hanging, but you can't have her. When she was with Xie Nancheng, she was also flirting with him behind his back, and she even hooked Gu Xixing into a slut. And my wicked brother was also obsessed with sleeping with her. You men, what you can't have is always the best."
Xiangcheng No. 3 Funeral Home.
After Tu Ran arrived, he quickly found out where the old lady had kept it.
During lunch time, the staff had their meals.
She put on her work clothes, put on a mask, and blended in.
The body of the old lady of the Xie family was found in the innermost morgue.
It's a single room, and it's very large, about 60 square meters.
It's very empty and cold.
Even in the middle of the day, I still felt a chill on my back.
But Tu Ran was not afraid at all, she walked over slowly.
Seeing the old lady's remains, I just felt sad.
My eyes turned red instantly.
"Grandma, I'm sorry I'm late."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's not that I didn't go back to spend New Year's Eve with you on purpose. It's just that something happened between Nancheng and me...which caused some conflicts, so I couldn't go back."
"I really didn't expect you to leave so suddenly."
"I'm really sad."
"You are the first person in the Xie family who is kind to me and the first person who accepts me."
"I will always remember you."
Afterwards, Tu Ran knelt on his knees and kowtowed to the old lady politely.
"But Grandma."
"I can't have the jewelry."
"I'm sorry for your kindness."
"I didn't give birth to any children for the Xie family, so I didn't make any contribution."
"Maybe my marriage with Nancheng...can't go on."
"I know all about your love."
"But I just can't bear it."
After explaining all this, Tu Ran stood up and reached out to touch the old lady's hand.
Something is wrong!
I immediately realized something was wrong.
Because normally, a corpse should be stiff, hard and cold.
But the old lady's hands were soft, but without any warmth.
It’s still cold, but not stiff at all.
This does not bode well for a dead person.
She felt for her pulse again and found it was gone.
Breathing was impossible.
The old lady's face even began to have spots, but they were not obvious.
But my body is not stiff, what’s going on?
Normally, people from the dungeon won't come to pick you up before the funeral.
The old lady's soul should be with the corpse, or return to her old home.
Obviously, there is no old lady's soul here.
As for the former residence...
Tu Ran closed his eyes and wanted to look at the Xie family's old house from afar to search for the whereabouts of the soul of the old lady of the Xie family.
But, it's empty.
No news at all.
Originally, she didn't believe Xie Yao's words completely.
That's why I wanted to come and see it in person.
But something was indeed wrong.
After opening his eyes, Tu Ran was even more confused, "Where is grandma's soul?"
"That's not right."
"No, I'll go ask."
Tu Ran then quietly left the funeral home.
She went to an inconspicuous place, the City God Temple in Xiangcheng.
But people in the north are not so keen on worshipping gods.
Therefore, the Earth God Temple and the City God Temple are just decorations.
In addition to special days such as Qingming Festival and the Ghost Festival, nearby residents will come to burn paper for their relatives.
The rest of the time, it's very quiet.
It is far less crowded than the Temple of the God of Wealth and the Temple of Yue Lao.
Tu Ran drove to the City God Temple in the suburbs. It was still light outside.
She was not in a hurry and just sat in the car waiting.
Wait until dark.
She got off the car and neatly placed the fruits she had bought on the way on the altar.
"Your Excellency the City God is here, and I am Tu Ran."
"I'm from Phoenix Ridge, but I moved to Xiangcheng a few years ago."
"I have never dared to trouble you, sir, but today I have an urgent matter and would like to ask for your advice."
"Please have some mercy, sir."
After Tu Ran finished speaking, he took out the incense he had prepared.
Three incense sticks were lit in a proper manner.
Then she waited patiently without saying a word.
Time passes little by little...
Just as the incense was about to burn out, she saw a cloud of white smoke rising in front of her.
In the white mist, there seemed to be a tall figure, wearing the same black brocade robe as the statue.
"I really don't want to get involved in your affairs."
"But there's nothing I can do. You're so sensible."
"There's fruit, incense, and introducing oneself."
"It seems that it is not working if I don't help you."
I couldn't see the people inside clearly, but what they said was crystal clear.
Tu Ran was not surprised or shocked because she had an idea in her mind.
She has the third eye and can see things that ordinary people cannot see.
She also knew that the City God would come to work after dark.
The City God must be able to hear her words.
It just depends on whether others are willing to help you.
"Master City God, my grandmother passed away on New Year's Eve."
"The funeral was scheduled for the fifth day of the first lunar month. Normally, her spirit should be near the body or in the old house before the funeral. But I found that my grandmother's body was missing, and her body was not in rigor mortis. I felt something was wrong."
"Please give me some advice, Lord City God."
After a while, the person in the white mist replied, "This Xiangcheng...I'm afraid things are going to change."
"Please explain clearly, sir." Tu Ran said politely.
"Eh? Girl, if I remember correctly, you should know His Highness Feng Yan, right?"
The City God's irrelevant remarks completely confused Tu Ran.
"Who, what Fengyan, what His Highness?"
"Hey, stop pretending. You definitely know that prince. Someone's fate was already written in the Book of Life and Death, but it's said you used the Diamond Seal to detain their soul, preventing the ghost messenger from taking it away. They couldn't complete their mission, and then they alerted the Fengyan Palace, who came looking for you. How dare you say you don't know him?"
Tu Ran suddenly realized, "So you are talking about him?"
