Li Yuan just stood there, staring down at the small flower bed. He was too quiet and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Sir, the tools have been found."
Hearing the bodyguard's voice, Li Yuan withdrew his gaze indifferently.
The bodyguard walked towards the main room of the house with something in his hand, and Li Yuan followed slowly behind.
The door of the main house is a wooden door, which has become very dilapidated over the years. A thick chain is tied to the wooden door, and a lock is hung on the chain. Because it has been hung for many years, the lock has become very rusty and the keyhole is blocked. It can only be opened with tools.
[Miss Luo seems to have disappeared three months after giving birth. We don't know the details of what happened. When she was pregnant, Miss Luo stayed in her room by herself and never came out to talk to the villagers.]
I remember one day, Miss Luo asked my father to get everyone out and gave us money to buy seeds and food. After we had some money to spend, we all left the village. That time, no one in the village came back all night, and only returned early the next morning.
Later, my father found an envelope Miss Luo had left for us on our kang. Inside was a large sum of money and a message saying that she had troubled us during this time and asked him to divide the money among everyone and immediately forget about her. And then... we never saw Miss Luo again.
"Click" the bodyguard used pliers to open the rusty lock, unfastened the chain, and pushed open the wooden door.
"Creaky--" This house is many years old and extremely old. When the wooden door is pushed, it makes a very harsh creaking sound and dust flies inside.
"Cough cough cough..." The bodyguard was choked by the dust and coughed several times in a row. He waved away the dust with his hands and then took a step back to let Li Yuan in.
The room had long been covered in dust, and it was gray. There were cobwebs in the corners of the walls, and it was extremely dirty.
Ji Zhinan, Gu Yibei and Eddie came in later and looked at the dirty old house without saying a word.
The man's eyes fell on a certain place, Gu Yibei narrowed his eyes and walked over with big strides.
"There's been shootouts here."
His tone was affirmative.
Hearing this, Eddie immediately looked at Gu Yibei, who was staring intently at a hole in the wall.
Ji Zhinan bent down and picked up a bullet casing on the ground.
The main house was not tidy, and was even a bit messy. In addition to the walls, there were traces of bullets on the beams above the house, and even on the rotting wooden tables and chairs, traces could be vaguely seen.
Li Yuan didn't say anything, just stared at the table that was about to rot.
His slender fingers reached down, gently wiping away the dust on the tabletop. The dust was so thick that his fingers immediately turned black. Li Yuan wiped the dust off several times before he finally got rid of the dust.
I saw the wooden table, the color looked a bit strange, most of it was a very light and normal wood color, but there was one area that was much darker.
It's blood.
Li Yuan's expression changed immediately.
My father had noticed something was amiss. Miss Luo suddenly told us all to leave and not come back until the next day. Something must have happened. After we stopped seeing Miss Luo and the man with her, my father asked me to sneak into her room. And then I saw... a mess inside, with blood all over the floor. It scared me to death. Fearing trouble, my father had me lock the room and not let anyone in. He also told everyone to keep their mouths shut and not talk about it outside...
