Chapter 144: Scene 9: Disgust, hatred, pity, and protectiveness...
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! Come and see, someone's dead here!"
Before the alarm clock rang, He Yuezhe was awakened by a man's scream.
"Yes, it's No. 5. No. 5 is dead!!!"
"What the hell? They're making so much noise so early in the morning! It's really annoying!"
"No, seriously, Miss Wan, someone died!!"
"Liu Hui, Liu Hui! Are you awake?" Ban Weile's voice came from the next room. "Did you hear that? They said they found a dead body! Should we go check it out?"
“Ah ...
"..." He Yuezhe looked at Ban Weile, who was hiding behind him, covering his eyes and growling softly, and knocked him on the head speechlessly, "Who was it that was so excited to drag me over here to see it just now?"
"No, no, no, no, that's definitely not me!!!" Ban Wei Le shook his head like a rattle. "How could I possibly be excited about something like that, right? Hahahahaha!!!"
"Since everyone is here, let me explain the situation first."
He Yuezhe turned around and saw the man in a white vest who claimed to be a medical student standing up from beside Ji Xiaogao's body and began to greet everyone.
"Please." The man in the black riveted leather jacket nodded.
"The deceased, ahem, number 5. Other than the cuts on her palms from a sharp object, the only other wound on her body was a penetrating wound to her mouth."
"In other words, the cause of her death was probably a penetrating wound to the mouth."
"But," the man in the white vest frowned, "that penetrating wound is about seven or eight centimeters in diameter. You can imagine how someone could possibly stab something seven or eight centimeters in diameter into Number 5's head. It would be incredibly difficult."
"Therefore, I think it is very likely that No. 5 was killed by Tianyin."
"Tianyin?! Are you talking about that kid?!" No. 3, Dai Weiguo, widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Why do you think Tianyin is a child?" the man in the white vest asked back, "Technology is very advanced nowadays. It's completely possible to use a voice changer to change an adult's voice into that of a child."
"Voice changer? What is that?" Dai Weiguo scratched his head in confusion.
"You're really an idiot." Wan Xiang, who was wearing sportswear, rolled her eyes at Dai Weiguo.
"Miss Wan, what you said is——"
"Enough!! How long are you going to keep arguing in front of her body?!" He Yuezhe interrupted loudly, "Can't you just let her leave in peace?!"
"Yeah, everyone should stop arguing. Breakfast is ready. Let's go eat first."
Unexpectedly, the first person to agree with him would be Liu Zhaodi, who was wearing a neat professional suit but had a slightly hunched figure.
Didn’t she hate me before? Why is she... now?
He Yuezhe's eyes carefully caressed the flattering smile on the woman's face, as well as the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and around her nose.
"Tsk, it was just a few words of discussion, but you two have turned it into a quarrel. You really like to exaggerate." Dai Weiguo glanced at the woman and walked away quickly. "Let's go!"
As Dai Weiguo left, Wan Xiang apologized to He Yuezhe and walked towards the restaurant with the remaining people.
"Xiaohui." The woman's voice brought He Yuezhe back to his senses.
"Mom." She found her hand held in the woman's palm.
"Mom knows Xiao Gao is a very good friend of yours. You must be very sad about what happened to her," the woman smiled slightly, tears welling in her eyes. "I was over there and heard them arguing. I thought you wouldn't feel comfortable listening to me, so I took the initiative and called them away. Do you mind?"
The woman's hands were small, thick, strong, warm and rough.
These are a pair of hands that have worked for the family for years, and they are also a pair of hands that have written furiously to pursue their dreams.
"I don't mind." He Yuezhe shook his head. "Also, Mom, you look really good in this dress."
"Really? I'm still not used to it." Liu Zhaodi fiddled with her professional suit.
"Auntie, it looks really good!" Ban Weile also came over and gave a thumbs up.
"You are in the small class, right? Thank you. I feel embarrassed." Liu Zhaodi said with a smile.
"Auntie, you still remember me! We haven't seen each other for almost ten years!" Ban Weile covered his mouth in shock.
"Well, she is Xiaohui's friend after all." Liu Zhaodi glanced at He Yuezhe, her eyes full of emotions that He Yuezhe could not understand.
Disgust, hatred, pity, and desire to protect.
"By the way, this is the food I brought for you. Eat it while it's hot. I have to go back over there to eat with them."
Liu Zhaodi took out a few small plastic bags from her suit bag. The bags were printed with the logos of various supermarkets and contained steaming hot and delicious meals.
"Here, take it. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll make it for you." Liu Zhaodi placed the food in the hands of the two people in an orderly manner, then walked towards the restaurant, looking back every step of the way. "Eat quickly, be careful not to let it get cold, it will easily give you a stomachache!"
"Ohhh, okay, Auntie!!!" Ban Weile waved at Liu Zhaodi with tears and snot, then rubbed the bag of food in his arms.
“…”
"...Do you really want to eat next to a corpse?"
He Yuezhe put down the meal, helped Liu Hui clean up Ji Xiaogao's body, and presented a bouquet of paper flowers. When he went out again, he saw Ban Weile's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask.
Ban Weile, who was opening the bags one by one and paying homage to each one with great conviction, said, "Hey hey... hey, I forgot... hey wait, I forgot there's a body here! Run ...
…
“It’s delicious…”
"I love my mother..."
He Yuezhe and Ban Weile put down their chopsticks at the same time, slumped in their chairs, and sighed.
“How can there be such delicious food!!”
"Yeah, how can I have such a good mother..."
"You, you, you! Showing off, huh?"
"What? You ask me why my mom is so nice?"
“Liu Hui!!!”
"oops?"
"You bully me because I don't have a mother!!!"
"If you don't mind, I can also..."
"Hey, I was just kidding. I didn't mean to steal your aunt!"
"...I mean, I can be your mother too."
“……?”
“…”
"Liu Hui! You you you!! You're done!!!"
"If you have the guts, come and hit me!"
"You, you, you! Slow down and wait for me!"
"No!"
“Aa ...
"Ban ban ban bang weile, please stop it!"
"What did you say--??!!!"
"Bang!!"
“Ouch!”
"Who the hell is that?! Can't you see I'm arguing with someone? Are you here to cause trouble?!"
"Liu Hui? I can handle this myself, what are you doing here?"
He Yuezhe held back his laughter as he pulled Ban Weile off Dai Weiguo. When he looked up, he met Wanxiang's eyes, who looked impatient.
"Ah, of course, of course, I believe Miss Wan," she supported Ban Weile and nodded to Wan Xiang, "Let's go now!"
"Damn it Liu Hui! If Miss Wan hadn't been merciful and spared you, I would have skinned you alive today!!!" Dai Weiguo's noisy voice came from behind.
“That’s crazy.”
"Miss Wan! I usually respect you, right? What do you mean by saying this now? Also, did you find me just to tell me about that? If so, I'm leaving!"
"You don't agree?"
"Why the hell should I agree to this?! I earned the sheriff's title through my own merit, and now I'm handing it over to you, wouldn't that make me an idiot?!"
"We're on the same side. It doesn't matter who the sheriff is. Why are you holding on to it?! Besides, the others obviously listen to me more!"
"Miss, seven votes, all seven votes were cast for me. Aren't they more willing to listen to me?!"
"Seven votes? Do you know how many of those seven votes were cast by my people?"
"Your people? Miss, stop kidding. In a place like this, who wouldn't think about themselves and listen to you and vote for me instead of you? Are you fucking crazy?!"
"Dai Weiguo! So you mean you won't give me the sheriff?!"
"Hey Liu Hui, stop it! Didn't you hear those two arguing?" The boy she was holding suddenly twisted his body. "Don't you want to listen?"
"Aren't you afraid of being killed together with them?" He Yuezhe didn't stop.
"Shouldn't it be...?" Ban Weile scratched his head. "Aren't you and Wanxiang partners? She shouldn't vote for me, right? At most, it's 1.5 votes from that uncle..."
"You just rely on me to protect you." He Yuezhe curled his lips.
"Hey, Xiaohui is the best and most powerful. Let's go back and eavesdrop on their quarrel, shall we?"
“…”
"Xiaohui! I'll get you some meat buns when we get back to the room. Please, let's go back and listen, shall we?"
“…”
"And meat patties! And meat patties! Xiaohui, I really want to hear it, please!"
“…”
…
So at Ban Weile's pleading, He Yuezhe had to follow him very reluctantly, tiptoeing around the room and sneaking behind Wan Xiang and Dai Weiguo.
"Then tell me, what the hell do you want? I won't give it to the sheriff, what can you do to me?"
"Oh! It's so exciting just after arriving!" Ban Weile twisted his body excitedly.
"I can't do anything to you. After all, you can't kill people during the day."
"Hmph, I'm glad you know."
“…”
"Hey, why is there no sound?"
"Oh my god, are you crazy? You hit yourself?!"
"Help! Help! Someone's killing someone!!!"
Wanxiang's move was clever, but a bit too cruel.
"Damn it! Are you crazy? What are you doing?! I didn't even touch you with a finger!!"
“Ah! Ahhhh! Help, help!!!”
“Oh my god! Stop yelling! I’ll think about it again!”
"Think about it? Help, help, help! Someone's killing someone!!!"
Didn’t Dai Weiguo notice anything at all? Wanxiang was shouting so loudly, but no one came. Didn’t he realize that this was actually a trap?
"Okay, okay!! I'll give it to you!! I'll get it for you now!! Okay, stop yelling!!"
"...You're smart."
Feeling Wanxiang's gaze, He Yuezhe blinked and waved at her.
"I won this round." Wanxiang gave a sly smile.
"Wow, did Wanxiang see us? What was she saying? It looked to me like... she was saying 'You're not my wife'?"
He Yuezhe:?
