Chi Shuyan continued, “Uncle Wei, although there are human bones in the flowerbed at the Shen residence, not all of those missing people might be related to Shen Rongyin. To choose such a remote mountain village, she probably had to plan and observe first before taking any action. Has she ever gone
to any of the mountain villages with large numbers of missing people? For example, Zhaoshan Village?”
Father Wei hadn’t considered this before, but when Yan Yan asked this question, he suddenly remembered that more than 20 years ago, Shen Rongyin said that a few of the remote villages were especially pitiful. She took the lead in donating money and personally delivering necessities to many poor and
remote villages.
This had happened long ago, and Father Wei couldn’t remember the details. He didn’t know which villages Shen Rongyin had visited, but he remembered that Shen Rongyin had earned a reputation back then. After that, her reputation in the military was always good, and couldn’t be separated from that
event.
Because of this, he had a very good impression of Shen Rongyin back then. If it wasn’t for the sudden mishap that befell Old Ren’s family and the fact that Shen Rongyin had caused the family to break up, this good impression wouldn’t have faded.
Thinking of how Shen Rongyin had indeed taken the lead in donating to these remote mountain villages back then, Father Wei now felt that Shen Rongyin’s well-meaning actions were filled with malice.
Father Wei wasn’t sure which mountain villages Shen Rongyin had visited. He told Yan Yan to wait a bit, then called the archive room to help search for the names of the various mountain villages that Shen Rongyin had gone to.
‘The other side was efficient. Father Wei and the others heard the other party relay the names of the villages, which happened to be the ones to have the most missing people.
Father Wei had no doubt that 80 to 90% of this was Shen Rongyin’s doing.
‘What did that mean?
Speaking of which, Shen Rongyin wasn’t very meticulous in her work, but she was indeed smart. She had chosen remote and poor villages that no one would pay attention to. The location was too remote, and the people there were generally less educated. When people went missing, they didn’t know to
report the incidents. Most of them thought of ways to resolve the matter themselves, even coming up with a ritual to sacrifice living people in order to protect the village; how could they be expected to understand things like a lawful society and reporting cases?
If you looked carefully, you would be able to detect traces of Shen Rongyin everywhere. The timing was obviously right.
Wei Xiao didn’t believe that there were that many coincidences in the world.
He thought that this was probably the reason why the Shen woman had been able to remain hidden for nearly 20 years. At the thought that most of the missing people in these villages might have been killed by Shen Rongyin, Wei Xiao was once again alarmed and his limbs turned cold.
Wei Xiao’s face was even uglier when he hung up. Chi Shuyan didn’t need to look to know what Uncle Wei had leaned!
“Yan Yan, can you tell me what the thing is that Shen Rongyin is raising in her bracelet? That thing feeds on human blood? Where did she get that bracelet from? Who taught her to use such a sinister method to maintain her youth and beauty?” Wei Xiao asked all the questions in his heart.
Chi Shuyan shook her head and said, “Uncle Wei, I’ve only seen that bracelet a few times. That woman, Shen Rongyin, has always worn it. Even if I want to investigate it, it’s not good to do so openly.”
After a pause, Chi Shuyan continued, “I’m also investigating where she got this bracelet from. As for the thing inside the bracelet, the only thing I know for now is that it’s evil. Because of her greed, she used a sinister method to suck the blood of so many people, so it’s no surprise that it gave birth to some
evil spirit. I also suspect that it was that black magic user from T Country who taught her how to maintain her youth..”
