Chapter 146 The People at the Guesthouse [1]

This was Xu Qingling's first impression of Chen Xiaolian.

Wang Youqian had a simple and honest appearance, a thin build, and a face full of wrinkles, typical of a farmer. However, he seemed to have been resting poorly lately, as his eyes were bloodshot and he had thick dark circles under his eyes.

"No rush, let's go see Chen Chunlai first," Bian Dong said.

As soon as Chen Chunlai's name was uttered, Chen Xiaolian's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

“Chunlai, that’s a poor child. How could Xiaoyu be so cruel? When she was little, her cousin was so good to her. He would often bring her candy. Even when he went out to work, he would always remember to buy her new clothes and cosmetics when he came back. How could she repay kindness with enmity and be so heartless?”

Wang Youqian also sighed, "Sigh, it's our fault for not educating Xiaoyu well. I just hope she won't hurt anyone else anymore."

"Gentlemen, this old man knows you are capable. If you are able to capture Xiaoyu, then take her in. Although Xiaoyu is our daughter, we cannot watch her harm people again."

"For the rest of our lives, we will do good deeds as an atonement for Xiaoyu's sins."

Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian thought that their tearful plea would earn them praise from Xu Qingling and others, who would say that they were righteous and loyal, even at the cost of their own family.

Unexpectedly, these people remained silent.

The girl in the blue dress who was in the lead was still staring at them, her gaze cold and seemingly able to pierce through their hearts.

This made Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian shudder.

"Mom and Dad, what's going on? Haven't you cooked yet? I'm starving! I don't care, I want sweet and sour pork ribs!" A male voice suddenly rang out.

He was a boy who was about 18 years old. The parents he mentioned were Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian.

Unlike Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian, who were both slender, this person was obese with a round face and three chins.

As he spoke, his small eyes scanned Xu Qingling and her group, a hint of lewdness flashing across them.

Xu Qingling frowned, and Sasha clenched her little fists, as if she was about to explode at any moment.

"Dalong is hungry, Mom will go get him some right now."

Finally, Chen Xiaolian went to cook for Wang Dalong, and Wang Youqian led them to the backyard warehouse where Chen Chunlai's body was kept.

He didn't go in, but led the way and left immediately, as if avoiding some plague.

"Ha, this Wang Youqian, he used to pity Chen Chunlai so much, but now he doesn't even dare to look at him, like he's avoiding a virus," Sikong Yan mocked.

“Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian are definitely not as honest as the internet says,” Bian Dong’s colleague chimed in.

"I just don't know if Wang Xiaoyu's death has anything to do with them."

"But it must be related to Chen Chunlai, after all, he was the first target of Wang Xiaoyu after she turned into a vengeful ghost." They didn't believe that Chen Chunlai was as good to Wang Xiaoyu as Wang Youqian and Chen Xiaolian said.

Chen Chunlai's body was horribly mutilated.

Because it had been trapped in Wangjia Village for a week, it had long since rotted and started to stink.

Not everyone can withstand it.

Xu Qingling only glanced at it before confirming that Chen Chunlai's death was caused by Wang Xiaoyu, because Wang Xiaoyu's scent still lingered on his body.

Exactly, how much hatred must Wang Xiaoyu have for Chen Chunlai to turn into this?

They didn't stay long before returning to their rooms and gathering together to discuss the matter.

On their way back to their room, many people in the guesthouse were secretly observing them.

"How many people are currently staying at this guesthouse? Is it related to the Wang family or Wang Xiaoyu?" Xu Qingling asked.

"I know this," said the police officer who had arrived because of Chen Chunlai's death. After all, before they knew it was a vengeful ghost, someone died, so they had to call the police. The people in the guesthouse were naturally suspects and needed to be thoroughly investigated and questioned.

Speaking of which, quite a few people have stayed at Wang's B&B recently.

"Chen Chunsheng used to live in room number 2 on the third floor of the guesthouse, but after he died, room number 2 became vacant." No one dared to stay there.

“The man living next door to Chen Chunsheng, in room number 1, is a wealthy businessman in his fifties named Wu Furen.”

"This man named Wu Furen is the developer who turned Wangjia Village into a tourist attraction."

Xu Qingling frowned. "Where is Wu Furen from? How did he come up with the idea of ​​developing Wangjia Village into a tourist attraction?"

After all, Wangjia Village is really remote. Even if someone wants to invest but has too much money, they don't necessarily have to choose Wangjia Village.

"Wu Furen is from Sichuan Province. It is said that the reason he invested in the development of Wangjia Village was due to the connections brought in by Chen Chunsheng."

"Speaking of which, it was Chen Chunlai who spearheaded the development of Wangjia Village into a tourist resort."

However, Wangjia Village is a remote place, and it doesn't seem to have any investment value, so few wealthy businessmen from other places are willing to invest there.

"I heard that Wu Furen invested in Wangjia Village because Chen Chunlai saved him."

It is said that Chen Chunlai accidentally saved Wu Furen by chance.

When Wu Furen learned that he intended to develop Wangjia Village into a tourist attraction, he invested in the project to repay the life-saving grace.

"Speaking of which, Wu Furen is a nouveau riche, a nouveau riche from land expropriation."

"So what brought him to Wangjia Village this time?"

"I asked, and they said they came to Chen Chunlai to discuss the continued construction of the Wangjiacun Resort."

Unfortunately, Chen Chunlai is no longer here.

"However, Wu Furen seemed very anxious after Chen Chunlai died, and wanted to leave Wangjia Village as soon as possible."

However, even if Wu Furen wanted to leave Wangjia Village, Wangjia Village was currently trapped by Wang Xiaoyu. Unless Wang Xiaoyu was captured, Wu Furen would not be able to leave.

Did he say why he was in such a hurry to leave?

"I heard it's because his wife is about to give birth, and there's another reason, probably because there are ghosts here."

After all, who isn't afraid of ghosts?

Sikong Yan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, "Is the relationship between Chen Chunlai and Wu Furen really that simple? Wu Furen chose to be in Wangjia Village at this time, and then left in such a hurry after Chen Chunlai's death. I feel that it's not that simple."

However, this still needs further investigation, or someone with inside information may come forward.

After the policeman finished talking about Wu Furen, he continued with other things.

"The person living in room number 3 is said to be a sorceress."

"A fortune teller?!"

"Yes, she's probably around forty years old. I heard she was invited by Chen Xiaolian."

"It is said that after Wang Xiaoyu died, the guesthouse and Wangjia Village were not at peace, so they invited a shaman to perform a ritual in the hope of calming Wang Xiaoyu's ghost."

"But that sorceress probably doesn't have any real skills." Otherwise, how could she have been trapped in Wangjia Village?

At this point, the disciple from the Tantai family nodded, "I investigated that sorceress; she has no spiritual power at all. She's just an ordinary person, probably a fraud!"
