Although it cost a lot of money, once I hung this gold medal-like amulet around my neck, I immediately felt warm and sunny.
Lin Xiaoman just felt that he had an extra sense of security.
So, work hard to make money and buy magical instruments!
After having lunch outside, the two planned to go to Xiao Huai's house during the lunch break.
In the small villa in the staff quarters of the No. 1 High School in the city, Xiao Huai lived with his wife and her family.
Because he had been there before, the security guard at the gate knew Lin Xiaoman, and the car entered the community smoothly and stopped in front of the yard.
Before entering the house, Lin Xiaoman heard loud crying through the iron bars. The door of the house was open, and there were shadowy figures in the hall on the first floor, which looked very chaotic.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman rang the doorbell.
Xiao Huai's wife came out quickly. Seeing her, she was startled for a moment, then looked annoyed. "Boss Jiang, I originally wanted to tell you, but today..."
Xiao Huai's wife opened the door and said apologetically, "It's really inconvenient at home today, how about..."
Before she could finish her words, a plump middle-aged woman rushed out, "Ren Nan, who is that?"
Ren Nan hesitated and didn't say it clearly, "Mom, it's a friend of mine."
"Eh? Girl, you look familiar..." The middle-aged woman stared at Lin Xiaoman carefully, then slapped her thigh, "You are the boss!"
After she suddenly realized what was going on, the middle-aged woman immediately pushed Ren Nan aside, rushed over, hugged Lin Xiaoman's legs, and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Boss, my Ah Huai died tragically..."
Lin Xiaoman: ...
Because he had seen Ren Nan's mother, Lin Xiaoman immediately understood that this was Xiao Huai's mother.
"Mom, what are you doing? Get up!" Ren Nan was helpless and apologized to Lin Xiaoman repeatedly, "Boss Jiang, I'm so sorry."
"My Ah Huai died tragically! My good son is gone at such a young age. My Ah Huai joined the company as soon as he graduated and worked like a slave for you. Now he is gone, leaving us two old people. How can we live?" Xiao Huai's mother continued to howl, her voice shrill.
"Auntie, please get up first."
"Mom, we're at the front door. Let's go in and talk." Seeing that people from next door came out to watch, Ren Nan blushed with embarrassment.
"Yes, if you have anything to say, let's go inside." Xie Ziyu stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Huai's mother's arm, pulled her up with force, and dragged her into the house. While walking, he turned back and mouthed to Lin Xiaoman.
'Extortion!'
Lin Xiaoman understood it all at once.
When Xiao Huai died, compensation and other matters were discussed with his wife Ren Nan. The Xiao family was not present at the scene because they were far away.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. It's such an unfortunate coincidence today that my parents-in-law and their family came unexpectedly... Alas." Ren Nan, who was left behind, whispered to Lin Xiaoman with a sad and helpless look on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. I should also comfort the two elderly people."
When I entered the house, the atmosphere was a bit...smoky.
Not only Xiao Huai's parents, but also Xiao Huai's brother and sister-in-law and their family of four, and six people from the man's family, kept crying and wailing, saying that their son and brother were dead and they could not live anymore.
It was obvious that he was here to ask for money.
Ren Nan and his parents looked obviously helpless.
Lin Xiaoman, who happened to be caught in the crossfire, also became the target of the Xiao family's extortion. In response, Lin Xiaoman played Tai Chi and kept saying, "I am also heartbroken for such a good employee like Xiao Huai..."
As for compensation, none!
Lin Xiaoman also knew about the original compensation. It was in triplicate. His wife Ren Nan got one copy, and the old couple of the Xiao family got two copies, which totaled more than 600,000 yuan.
More than 600,000 now is a lot.
After sitting for more than half an hour and talking calmly, Lin Xiaoman received a signal from Xie Ziyu, so he made an excuse and the two of them escaped.
After leaving Ren Nan's house and returning to the car, Lin Xiaoman asked, "Master, how is it?"
"I think I understand." Xie Ziyun touched his chin and put on a Sherlock Holmes attitude. "My father-in-law Xiao Huai's family are intellectuals. They have a kind of righteous spirit of scholars. Ordinary monsters can't approach them. And Xiao Huai's family, as I said just now, all the money Xiao Huai earned after graduation was used to support his family. They started raising pigs and selling pork at the market. They slaughter pigs all year round. They have a strong evil spirit and ordinary monsters can't approach them either.
Ao Guiying killed Xiao Huai, but she was still not satisfied. However, she could not harm Xiao Huai's wife and family, so she chose to keep killing people to improve her cultivation and take revenge as soon as possible.
As for your parents, it's probably because of that huge compensation. In Ao Guiying's opinion, Xiao Huai deserved to die, but you paid so much money, allowing Xiao Huai's wife and Xiao Huai's family to get a big advantage. She took her anger out on you."
"Evil puppet!! How can this be blamed on my family? How could she harm my parents just for this money!!" Lin Xiaoman was furious, his eyes were red with hatred, and he hated it so much that he wanted to chop Ao Guiying with a knife.
Oh no, the original owner’s emotions were too volatile.
Lin Xiaoman silently recited the "Heart Purification Mantra" in his heart.
"Many puppet monsters are pitiful at first, victims. However, once they start killing, most of them are blinded by hatred and eventually become evil spirits that wreak havoc on their neighbors." Xie Ziyun sighed, then reassuredly said, "Don't worry, since she has implicated innocent people, I will show no mercy and will absolutely destroy her to avenge your parents."
"I must kill her!" Lin Xiaoman repeated this several times before finally calming down a bit. "Then how can we find her? Stake out the building?"
"They just killed someone last night, so they shouldn't show up today." Xie Ziyun shook his head and explained, "Puppet monsters are good at escaping. All puppets have a root. If you find that root, they'll have nowhere to escape. Most puppets' roots are where their corpses are."
"The Xiao family will definitely not tell us this. Do we have to go to Xiao Huai's hometown to inquire?"
"Of course, there's no need to travel so far. And he doesn't necessarily have to be from the same hometown. Maybe he's a classmate from high school or college. Take me to the local public security bureau first. I'll check Xiao Huai's file in detail and call his classmates to ask."
"Oh." Lin Xiaoman drove attentively.
Xie Ziyun started making a phone call. "Hello, Old Han, please help me contact someone and find out something. In Dianliang County, Qingze City, Qingchuan Province, there's a village called Beihe. There's a family in the village. The head of the household is Xiao Sanhe according to the household registration. His eldest son is Xiao Yang, who raises pigs. His youngest son is Xiao Huai, who died not long ago... Yes, I suspect it was this Xiao Huai who provoked the puppet. Find out if he abandoned someone in the village... Yes, it was Ao Guiying. I fought her..."
After leaving Xie Ziyu at the Public Security Bureau, Lin Xiaoman returned to the company.
In just one day, 3 million was spent. The money is not enough!
Suddenly, I began to doubt myself, thinking that I was just a tool, and was pulled here to be Xie Ziyu's wallet.
Well, it doesn’t matter if I’m just a tool. The reward for this mission is SS-level soul power, so I must succeed!
Lin Xiaoman is full of energy.
