Seeing Huang Yu becoming increasingly serious, Zhao Youliang unconsciously became serious as well.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep up the act for more than half a second before bursting out laughing.
"Young Master Huang, you're going too far. What rare treasures are you talking about!"
"Let me put it this way: given our relationship, I have no money, but you can take my life!"
"Don't say that again!"
Zhao Youliang's bizarre words completely baffled Huang Jiaxian, who finally came to his senses after a long while:
Is this how you use the phrase "I have no money but my life"?
Can it be used to describe the relationship between friends?
Okay, whatever makes you happy...
Despite secretly complaining, Huang Yu was still deeply moved.
From that moment on, he completely regarded Zhao Youliang as a brother, the kind who would give his life if he had no money...
Huang Yu did not take Xiao Jiaozi with him when he left this time.
Therefore, while preparing to accompany the corpse driver to the tomb that night, Zhao Youliang also played with the little guy.
The little guy clearly loved being around Zhao Youliang, so he let Zhao Youliang do whatever he wanted, just lying on his shoulder with his eyes closed, enjoying the moment.
However, just when Zhao Youliang had almost finished preparing, and even wrote his will, another accident occurred.
A large number of police officers surrounded the paper-making shop and took him into a police car without saying a word.
Looking at the police officers who were sandwiched between him on the left and right, Zhao Youliang was full of questions.
"Hey comrade, what did I do now?"
"I haven't left town these past two days, nor have I done anything wrong, I haven't even dared to utter a single swear word..."
The police ignored him, only looking at him with serious vigilance, as if Zhao Youliang were an extreme terrorist.
When they arrived at the police station, the officer in charge of interrogating Zhao Youliang was Officer Xiao Zhao.
Upon seeing that it was an acquaintance, Zhao Youliang's tense mood finally relaxed a little.
"Brother Zhao, can you tell me why you arrested me again?"
"I'm truly a law-abiding citizen..."
Police officer Xiao Zhao had complete faith in Zhao Youliang.
This belief was not unfounded; it was based on extensive interviews and the retrieval of surveillance footage of people entering and leaving the town prior to the interrogation.
Everything proves that Zhao Youliang never left.
The reason they went to such lengths to arrest him was simply because another family in another town had been murdered.
The crime scene was almost identical to the last one, if not exactly the same.
There were no photos of Zhao Youliang at the scene.
"Quantum, you really don't remember who took this photo of you?"
Officer Zhao took out the first photo and placed it in front of Zhao Youliang, while also unlocking his handcuffs.
Zhao Youliang was utterly devastated, feeling even more wronged than Dou E.
"Brother Zhao, I really don't know who took this picture. If I did, you wouldn't even need to ask me; I would have already gone over and beaten him to a pulp!"
"Isn't this fucking ridiculous?!"
Although Officer Zhao trusted Zhao Youliang, he had no choice but to go through the procedures.
"Quantum, think about it carefully again. Is it possible that you took the photo yourself, then left it in the store and someone stole it?"
Zhao Youliang pondered this for a long time after hearing it, then shook his head vigorously.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I always turn the beauty filter on to the maximum when I take photos, otherwise I feel disgusted when I look at the pictures!"
"Look at this picture. Not only is there no beauty filter, but the angle is also wrong."
"This photo makes my chin look too big!"
Police officer Xiao Zhao: "......"
Knowing that he wouldn't get any information out of Zhao Youliang, or that Zhao Youliang had been deliberately framed, Officer Zhao simply stopped asking.
It was just a routine matter of temporarily detaining Zhao Youliang in the police station, and he would be released after 24 hours.
Upon hearing that he was to be locked up for 24 hours, Zhao Youliang immediately panicked.
Firstly, he had to rush back to the paper-making shop to offer incense before midnight;
Secondly, after offering incense, he was to accompany the corpse driver down into the tomb; this had been agreed upon.
Even if Zhao has many flaws, he has one good quality: he keeps his word!
Since you've made a promise, you have to keep it!
Even if it means death, I'd rather die in the ancient tomb with the corpse driver!
"Brother Zhao, I beg you, please let me go!"
"Tonight, as long as tonight is over, you can keep me locked up for as long as you want!"
"Let's just consider it an initial debt, and we'll pay it back double later... double the amount, okay?"
However, the law is not a game, and Xiao Zhao could only shrug to show that he couldn't help.
As Zhao Youliang rushed out, the people outside became even more anxious.
Especially those who vaguely know the inside story of the paper-making shop.
For example, ask Granny Mi, Shopkeeper Sun, the town mayor, and representatives of the major surnames.
Unfortunately, the matter Zhao Youliang was involved in this time was too serious, and no matter how much they pleaded, the result was the same.
They waited like this until almost dark, but despite the big yellow dog and little dumpling looking on with longing, Zhao Youliang still hadn't returned.
The town mayor and others returned after their pleas for leniency had been ignored.
The town mayor was clearly very anxious, pacing back and forth in front of the paper-making shop.
"What should we do? What should we do?!"
"If the quantum ball doesn't come back, people will die! People will really die!"
No one answered the mayor, including Granny Mi.
Because she was helpless in the face of this situation.
As the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear, Granny Wenmi sighed.
"Now that things have come to this, I, this old woman, have no choice but to stay here for the night. You all should go back."
"Hopefully they can tolerate this one night."
The others clearly knew what Granny Wenmi's decision meant, but apart from Manager Sun of the coffin shop, no one tried to dissuade her.
On the contrary, they hoped that Granny Wenmi could stay, their faces full of anticipation.
Upon seeing this, Manager Sun flew into a rage: "You beasts! Are you all beasts?!"
"If the older sister stays in the shop, wouldn't that be like risking her life to help you fill the gap?!"
"How can you be so heartless? Do you have any humanity left?!"
Despite being scolded by Manager Sun and unable to lift their heads, the village chief and the others simply kept their heads down and remained silent.
One of the representatives of a prominent family even shamelessly said to the fortune teller.
"Auntie, you can go in peace. Your family..."
He wanted to say, "We'll take good care of your family," but then he suddenly remembered that Grandma Wenmi had no family at all, so he could only awkwardly stop talking.
When Manager Sun saw this, he wanted to go up and beat the man up, but just then Granny Rice suddenly threw a handful of black rice at him.
Manager Sun suddenly felt dizzy and fainted, losing consciousness.
Grandma Wenmi remained calm.
He calmly walked into the paper-making shop and closed the door from the inside.
"You all go back and take good care of Old Sun."
"If you feel guilty, then give Quantum Dot more money... Consider it money I risked my life for."
“That poor boy Quantum needs money.”
