Wuchen shouted again, "It's not just those skeletons. I asked a crow that flew by, and it said that it's a forbidden area. All the animals in the area know that they can't go there. Animals that went there before couldn't escape, so no animals dare to go to that mountain area after that."
Growing increasingly angry, Wuchen slammed his hand on the table. "I'll go again tomorrow. I'm going to find that evil thing. It's infuriating!"
What I hate most are those bastards who harm small animals. If they're so capable, they should take on tigers, lions, and wolves one-on-one. Bullying birds and rabbits is nothing!
"How did those animals die?" Ye Qingqing asked.
"The bird I asked didn't tell me, it doesn't know." Wuchen was very annoyed. She had limited time today, otherwise she could have asked more birds, and eventually one of them would have known the reason.
Lu Mo frowned and said, "I examined those skeletons, and there were no wounds. They seemed to have died very peacefully, as if they died in their sleep."
Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. Died in her sleep?
She suddenly remembered her strange drowsiness from before, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Seeing the change in her expression, Lu Mo asked worriedly, "Did you also discover something?"
Ye Qingqing nodded and explained about her drowsiness, "It's so strange, I suddenly felt sleepy, and then I woke up after practicing my cultivation technique."
Lu Mo also felt a wave of fear. "Could it really be the work of Tsumabu Maki?"
There were only the two of them in the room at the time; besides Mai Tsumabu, there was no one else.
Wuchen suddenly said, "Let me see that woman tomorrow. I can tell if there's anything strange about her at a glance."
Ye Qingqing thought of something and asked Wuchen if he had noticed anything when he got out of the car. Wuchen nodded, "I felt a very strange aura that made me very uncomfortable, but that strange aura disappeared quickly and never appeared again."
At that moment, she felt as if many tentacles were touching her body, giving her goosebumps all over. But the strange thing quickly disappeared, and Wuchen searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
"Could it be an evil spirit from the back mountain?"
Wuchen shook his head. "I don't know, but it's possible. Two tigers can't share one mountain, so it should be the same one."
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo discussed it for a while. Although it was most likely Tsumabu Mai, it was a big deal after all. They didn't have solid evidence and couldn't pin the blame on a sickly girl.
Moreover, Ye Qingqing couldn't understand it either—
"If it really is Mai Tsumabu, why would she kill those small animals?"
There are also so many dogs and cats, all very cute little animals. Any normal person should be able to resist these furry little animals. Even if they don't like them, they wouldn't harm them.
"Is Mai Tsumabu a sadist? But how did she do it? Does she know curses? How can she make small animals die silently just by uttering a curse?"
Ye Qingqing muttered to herself, Sasaki Kojiro said that if Tsumabu Mai said just one sentence, something bad would happen to the dog. She couldn't help but suspect that this sickly girl was the legendary jinx.
Otherwise, there's really no way to explain these strange things.
"It's hard to say now; we'll know once we've investigated."
Lu Mo didn't draw a conclusion. Without solid evidence, he wouldn't easily draw conclusions about someone; he needed to investigate thoroughly.
Ye Qingqing nodded. She would be going to Tsumabuki's house again tomorrow to sound out his intentions. Besides, Tsumabuki Mai was going to Pingjiang soon, giving her more time to investigate and eventually get to the bottom of things.
If Mai Tsumabu really is a sadistic animal abuser, she will no longer treat this girl.
