Ye Beiping's eyes hardened further as he explained, "When I passed by Ye Jianguo's grave, I noticed the ashes were still there, which means someone had just paid their respects."
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged another glance.
Jiang Hai suddenly realized, "It seems that's true. I did see ashes when I passed by. They were probably the ashes of burnt yellow paper. If they were from yesterday or a few days ago, there certainly wouldn't be such complete ashes."
Wu Di, who is known for being argumentative, was stroking his chin at this moment.
"But maybe it was Ye Sheng's family who went to pay their respects, or maybe that person was Ye Sheng himself?"
Ye Beiping looked at Wu Di speechlessly. He was usually quite smart, so why was he acting so brainless at this moment? Helpless, he could only close his eyes and explain, "It's possible that it was Ye Sheng's family who went to pay their respects, but this person is definitely not from Ye Sheng's family, because now the only person from Ye Sheng's family who would go to pay their respects is probably Ye Xiaohui."
"That person today was clearly a man. Even though he was wearing baggy clothes, I could tell he was definitely a man."
“That’s right.” Hou Baolin echoed with certainty, “I’m quite familiar with that outfit.”
Now everyone fell silent again.
Although they believed it was related to Ye Jianguo, they didn't know who it was, which drove them crazy.
After a long while, Ye Beiping said, "Go and see Ye Sheng's house, and then go and see Chen Xiang's place, and see if anyone else has come over."
"We have to find this person, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night."
Hou Baolin and Wu Di naturally followed Ye Beiping's instructions, said goodbye, and went out to carry out their respective tasks.
Only Jiang Hai, who wasn't from Pingba Village, was left behind.
Watching Hou Baolin and Wu Di leave, Jiang Hai said, "Don't worry about Beiping. I don't plan to leave these next few days; I'll stay at your place."
"Um."
Ye Beiping nodded slightly, then gasped as if he had touched his wound: "Hiss."
"Alright, stop moving. I'll go cook. You can rest for a while," Jiang Hai said, and walked towards the kitchen.
They're all from the countryside, and their skills in cooking are just as good as those of the older women in the city.
Most importantly, rice cooked on this kind of stove is more fragrant.
As Ye Beiping heard the footsteps fade into the distance, he suddenly opened his eyes, his mind replaying the image of his reborn enemy.
I counted them secretly, and there were quite a few.
Previously, the cadres of the commune and the brigade were all arrested because of him.
There's also Ye Sheng's family, plus those people from Hangzhou.
Ye Beiping was astonished when he calculated it.
I never imagined that I would make so many enemies in just over six months since I came back.
He gave a bitter smile: "Sigh, I didn't expect there to be so many bad people."
Indeed, Ye Beiping believed himself to be the embodiment of justice, and that anyone who opposed him was a bad person.
Jiang Hai cooks very quickly.
But they couldn't outrun Hou Baolin and Wu Di. The two of them went for a quick look around Ye Sheng's and Shen Xiang's homes and then rushed back.
Just then, Jiang Hai finished cooking.
While eating, Hou Baolin also explained the situation.
"Beiping, Fatty and I went to check, but no one else came."
Wu Di added, "We also asked the local children, but none of them have come to our door."
"Um."
This was expected. Ye Beiping picked at the rice in his bowl and responded softly.
He didn't say until he finished his meal, "I've thought of someone. Does anyone have time to go and see him?"
"who?"
Hou Baolin and the other two were still eating with their heads down when they heard Ye Beiping's words and immediately looked up to ask.
"He Tao," Ye Beiping said mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Hou Baolin and Wu Di's expressions changed slightly. After all, this person had a notorious reputation. They were just causing trouble in the village, while he was someone who could walk sideways in the town.
Jiang Hai didn't recognize them, but seeing Hou Baolin and Wu Di's expressions change, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something inconvenient? If you don't want to go, I can go, but you have to tell me where it is."
“Okay.” Wu Di, quick-witted, immediately agreed: “He Tao’s home is in Hejia Village, which is about ten miles away from us. When you go to Hejia Village, just ask around, and someone will definitely know where his home is.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Even the naive Hou Baolin realized what was happening and nodded frantically.
Seeing this, Ye Beiping seemed helpless about the two's little schemes and firmly objected, "No, He Tao doesn't know Brother Jiang Hai, I don't trust him to go, you two should go instead."
"Ah!" Hou Baolin and Wu Di exclaimed, their faces falling.
Even Jiang Hai, who was usually slow-witted, realized that He Tao, whom the others were talking about, was probably no pushover; otherwise, Hou Baolin and Wu Di wouldn't have looked at him like that.
Knowing that the other party was not someone to be trifled with, Jiang Hai wouldn't go looking for trouble.
Ye Beiping gazed intently at Hou Baolin and Wu Di, explaining why he had sought out He Tao.
"I suspect one person is Ye Dongnan. Ye Dongnan is probably at He Yongshou's house with Jiang Enhua now. If we want to know about him, we have to find He Tao."
"If He Tao didn't see Ye Dongnan this morning, then there's a 70-80% chance it's him."
The suspicions about Ye Dongnan are not without basis.
Since no relatives from Ye Sheng's family came, naturally no one went to pay respects to Ye Jianguo.
After thinking it over, the only one left was Ye Dongnan, who was nominally his grandson. In any case, Ye Jianguo had treated Ye Dongnan very well when he was alive.
It's perfectly normal for people to come and pay their respects now.
