Yan Yan had saved Third Brother Weis life; how could Chang Qing not respond? She immediately got up and told her to wait before she went to the kitchen to cook the noodles.
After Aunt Chang left, Wei Man heaved a sigh of relief. Father Wei still hadn’t calmed down. His face was indescribably solemn. His attention had been on those drained corpses in the Shen residence; he hadn’t had the time to ask the two children how they had found the bodies in Shen Rongyin’s bedroom.
Thinking of Ah Man’s words, Wei Xiao, a man who had gone through fire and water, couldn’t help but feel horrified. He immediately looked at the two children in front of him, and Wei Man hurriedly said that he really wasn’t talking nonsense, but was telling the truth.
Chi Shuyan said, “Uncle Wei, there is indeed something wrong with the Shen family. It’s best if Third Brother stays at home for the next few days and doesn’t go out. Stay as far away from the Shen family as possible!”
Wei Man was really convinced by Little Sister Shuyan. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Yan Yan, I understand. I’ll definitely stay at home obediently for the next few days and I won’t go anywhere!”
His life was more important.
Chi Shuyan relaxed when Third Brother Wei listened to her this time.
When Wei Xiao looked at Yan Yan again, his face turned a bit more solemn. At the thought that Yan Yan was the one who had to deal with the living dead and the matter of the corpse poison, how could Wei Xiao not believe her?
He only felt that he had still underestimated Yan Yan’s abilities. He was also deeply grateful and convinced that Yan Yan had saved his third son’s life.
He had wanted to ask Yan Yan’s opinion about the drained corpses at the Shen residence, and when he saw his third son gossiping about it, he subconsciously wanted to send him away. However, he thought that it would be good if his third son knew a little more, so he immediately asked, “Yan Yan, do
you think those corpses were the doing of that ‘half-living dead corpse’ hiding in the military?”
Wei Man also hurriedly nodded, and he didn’t interrupt as he listened seriously to his father and Yan Yan.
Chi Shuyan said, “Uncle Wei, before you came, I specially examined those corpses, but I didn’t find any corpse poison in them. Do you still remember the dead poultry from before? Those birds died from their blood being sucked dry, and they weren’t infected with corpse poison either!”
At that moment, Wei Xiao recalled the poultry that had been sucked dry of their blood. Yan Yan had also said that it had nothing to do with the living dead.
Later, Wei Xiao had a few military doctors dissect a lot of the dead poultry to confirm that they hadn’t been infected. Unfortunately, the leads had come to an end then.
If Yan Yan hadn’t suddenly brought it up, he wouldn’t have connected the two matters.
Wei Xiao’s face darkened and he suddenly said, “Yan Yan, are you saying that the murderer who drained the corpses at the Shen residence is the same person who killed and drained the poultry last time?”
Chi Shuyan deliberated for a moment before she said, “Uncle Wei, I can only confirm that today’s case and that poultry case have nothing to do with the living dead! It’s more like a human act!” After pausing for a moment, Chi Shuyan continued, “There’s one more thing. When Third Brother Wei went up to
the second floor of the Shen residence, I saw an old, wrinkled, withered hand sticking out of the door! It was just that when I suddenly kicked the door open, there wasn’t anything unusual in that room except for the corpses..”
