CHAPTER 1162: CHAPTER 1161: FINDING THE REMAINS OF THE MISSING PERSONS

With Ye Qiu’s current strength, it seemed unlikely he could completely resolve everything here. So, for now, he thought it best to let the others leave first.

As for the missing workers and security guards’ remains, he believed they should be underground, within the so-called palace he saw, which in reality was inside the crystal coffins below.

Zhao Ruxue was investigating the case, and now knowing the missing persons were below meant she would definitely want to unearth them.

There were excavators on site, and they could quickly unearth the crystal coffins below.

When Zhao Ruxue went to find help, it was already Sunday, and Ye Qiu had to be at Jin University the next day, so he could only accompany Zhao Ruxue today and would not return tomorrow.

Moreover, even if he came back, it wouldn’t be of much use.

As for the police, once they identified the remains and matched them with the families’ DNA, the case would be solved.

However, why these people went missing might be impossible to explain with scientific theories.

When Zhao Ruxue called for people to excavate the crystal coffins and find the remains below, Su Wen and Steward Su would certainly oppose it.

But now, with so many deaths, there’s no way to keep it under wraps any longer.

At lunchtime, with the excavators’ drivers assisting, they began the excavation and soon uncovered the crystal coffins sealed with cement below.

These crystal coffins were large, but they differed greatly from the palace Zhao Ruxue and the police saw the night before.

Once the crystal coffins along with the outer layer of cement were lifted out, someone peeled off the cement layer and inside cement panels to reveal the crystal coffins inside.

Upon opening the crystal coffins, indeed, there were remains inside.

However, it was not immediately certain whether these remains were those of the missing people.

From the clothing left inside, Cai Jialin could identify one set of remains as likely being his son Datiger, and upon seeing it, he fainted from the shock.

The rest were handed over to the forensic experts for investigation and DNA comparison with the families.

It didn’t take much time overall, but Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue managed to uncover the missing people. If not for Ye Qiu’s knowledge, it probably wouldn’t have been possible for others.

Of course, most importantly, if Ye Qiu hadn’t come to help last night, even Zhao Ruxue and the police might have inexplicably disappeared, only leaving behind their bones.

Thinking about this, Zhao Ruxue looked at Ye Qiu differently.

"Ruxue, I’m heading back. You and the officers should leave before dark. I can save you once, but not a second time. As for the situation here, I’m not able to resolve it yet."

"I understand,"

Zhao Ruxue said.

Since the last time Ye Qiu dealt with the living dead, Zhao Ruxue knew Ye Qiu was different from ordinary people.

And this time, she understood it even more.

Ye Qiu got into his car and drove away from there.

He hadn’t had breakfast, but thinking about last night, he didn’t have much of an appetite.

He hadn’t expected the situation to involve the Su Family and Su Group.

Given his relationship with Su Luoluo, he knew he would help the Su Family.

The problem was that the situation here was beyond his ability to solve.

So many spirits, many of them vengeful, and he couldn’t absorb them?

Driving back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, Ye Qiu felt his clothes were somehow ’dirty’; it must be bad luck.

Seeing his mother watching TV in the living room, Ye Qiu said, "Mom, I’m going upstairs to take a shower."

"Ye Qiu, where did you go last night?"

Chen Fang didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be out all night without returning, nor did she know what he was doing.

"Mom, I went with Zhao Ruxue to investigate a case."

Ye Qiu went upstairs, changed out of those clothes, enjoyed a comfortable bath, and then soaked those clothes in water before coming back down, dressed.

"Did you eat?"

It was already past lunch, and Chen Fang was home alone. Ye Weidong and Ye Xue had gone for driving practice.

"Mom, I haven’t eaten yet."

While Chen Fang reheated the food for Ye Qiu, he watched TV in the living room for half an hour. Once his mother had reheated the food, Ye Qiu ate lunch, then went upstairs to rest a bit.

Having had no rest the previous night and not engaging in cultivation, he was truly tired now.

Resting in his room, he awoke around four in the afternoon.

After freshening up, Ye Qiu headed towards Daqing Supermarket.

Liu Lingxiu was helping with the cash register at Daqing Supermarket, and she had to return to the girls’ dormitory that evening. So after dinner, she would head back.

"Ye Qiu, you’re here."

"Are you going back to Jin University tonight?"

"Yes, I have the first two classes on Monday morning. Going back tomorrow might make me late."

Since that was the case, Ye Qiu decided he’d take her back tonight.

Around five in the afternoon, Ye Qiu didn’t dine with Liu Lingxiu at home but planned to eat at Jin University instead.

Ye Qiu drove Liu Lingxiu to the girls’ dormitory at Jin University, then called Li Shen and Luo Yang, asking them to meet for dinner.

Liu Lingxiu returned to the dormitory, and shortly after, Chen Meng and Li Qianqian joined Han Xiaowan; Luo Yang and others gathered, and except for Ning Yun, everyone was there.

More than a dozen people headed to a nearby hot pot restaurant to eat together.

After the hot pot, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, along with Li Qianqian, returned to the dormitory entrance, while Ye Qiu drove himself back to Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Just as he returned to the villa, a call from Zhao Ruxue came through and she said, "Ye Qiu, the identity of the deceased remains has not been confirmed through DNA yet, but it’s quite likely. Now, the construction site is halting operations for a long time to deal with this because it’s not certain yet whether it’s a murder case?"

According to modern science, it’s considered murder, caused by others, as ghost tales don’t hold up, despite their eerie experiences last night.

"We have to continue halting operations, or else more deaths might occur."

As for what the Su Family and Su Group thought, Ye Qiu didn’t know, but he understood that if they continued letting people work and stay there, more incidents would likely happen.

"I’m at Norwegian Forest, are you coming over?"

If not for Zhao Rubing mentioning it, Zhao Ruxue wouldn’t have known that Ye Qiu went to France and brought her expensive wine.

She just had a glass, and didn’t find it much different from ordinary wine. But when she learned it was worth twenty to thirty thousand euros per bottle, she felt it was excessively expensive.
