Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 85

"Grandma will give you whatever you want."

A person's wealth does not only refer to gold, silver, jewelry, house deeds, and favors, but also a kind of pattern.

Don't be fooled by the old lady's usual appearance of being pampered, wealthy and graceful, but when it comes time to open her eyes, she will let you see what it means to be the overlord of the Dragon King family.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan felt that his calculations these days seemed very petty.

Only in front of such a person would the boy feel like he was still a child.

"Thank you grandma."

Liu Yumei walked slowly to Li Zhuiyuan and looked at the young man in front of her.

"Grandma is old and her eyesight isn't very good. She was deceived by you, kid."

She was slapping herself in the face.

What this means is that all the things in the past, both pleasant and unpleasant, as well as the cautions and temptations between the two, can all be turned aside.

"Grandma, you are so confused."

"If I'm confused, I'm confused. There's no need to add a prefix. It makes me look like I'm trying to save face."

"Grandpa is also confused occasionally, which means that you are a blessed person."

Liu Yumei could no longer suppress the smile on her face.

Now that you have turned the page, it means that you have let go of the resentment in your heart. You will naturally find this child more and more pleasing to the eye. Moreover, in three days, this child will become "your own child."

She felt Li Sanjiang's happiness.

No wonder the old man was smiling all day long in the past year, it turns out he was living such a happy life.

"lack……"

As soon as she said this, Liu Yumei stopped herself.

How could she be like that old man, asking the child whether he needed money all the time?

Although, what she has the most is money, but because of this, the least sincere thing is to give money.

It's the same pocket money, but even if I give him a stack, it's not as good as the wrinkled and curled piece of money that old man Li Sanjiang takes out of his pocket.

It would be fine if the child really needed money, but ever since the first time the child came to Li Sanjiang's house and stood on the dam, she only took a glance and knew that the child didn't care much about money.

It's not that he really became an immortal and doesn't need to eat grains, but there are such people in this world who don't have to worry about their livelihood from the moment they are born.

This is different from ordinary rich and powerful children, who are just fat pigs guarding bigger rice warehouses and counting the rice trotters they can't finish eating in their lifetime.

For this kid, he just needs to take a step back. At the very least, he can be supported by the country.

Liu Yumei reached out, touched Li Zhuiyuan's collar, and said:
"I should make you some summer clothes, and you should also prepare autumn clothes in advance. Don't worry, you are different from Ah Li. You will appear in front of people, so grandma will definitely make you fashionable clothes."

Li Zhuiyuan added quietly: "The same style as A-Li's can actually be made."

"Hehehehe."

Liu Yumei laughed again, and this time she laughed so hard that she bent over.

Aunt Liu next to her couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Who was it that always laughed at Uncle Li for being fooled around by this kid? I think you are almost the same now.

"Grandma, I'm leaving first."

"Well, let's go." Liu Yumei waved her hand.

When Li Zhuiyuan was about to walk out, Liu Yumei suddenly stopped him and asked, "Think about it again, have you forgotten something?"

The young man opened the canvas in his hand, revealing the "Liu's Qi-Watching Technique" wrapped inside, and raised it to Liu Yumei:

"I didn't forget. I brought it with me."

Liu Yumei was a little surprised, but she was also very happy.

This means that even if the child couldn't wait for me today and even without my previous words, he would still take the book away, which was considered as his active consent to this entry process.

"You little brat, I thought you were not going to release the eagle until you saw the rabbit."

"No way."

When Ari hugged herself, patted her head, and silently repeated what she had said to her, the outcome was actually already determined.

"Go back and read carefully. If you don't understand..." Liu Yumei paused. She thought of the child's terrible talent for reading. But after all, it was a family secret. She felt confident again. "If you don't understand, come and ask me. I'll explain it to you."

"Okay, grandma."

Li Zhuiyuan thought that in order not to ruin the atmosphere, he should conceal the fact that he had read the secret books of the Qin and Liu families.

The old lady was very concerned about her reputation. She didn't want to let her know that he had finished reading her unique skills in front of her, but she couldn't vent her anger on her. So she could only continue to cause trouble to those high-quality official kilns.

During this period of time, I pretended that I was watching it for the first time and realized a deeper level of it.

then,

Tell the old lady about it.

After the boy left, Aunt Liu stepped forward and helped Liu Yumei up: "I can see that you are really happy today."

"I still have to touch it again."

"Why, you're still worried?"

"What you mean? Even if you know it's a good item and not a fake, can't you just continue to play with it in your hands?"

"I see. You have found a treasure and want to enjoy it slowly."

"Isn't it okay?"

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, but I have to remind you that people say that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. You are still a generation away from that, so don't let yourself get caught up in it. If you lose all your family assets, you will cry out:
"Oh, how could I have been so blinded by the lard!"

"A-Ting, I see you've been feeling itchy these days."

"Why, if you are happy, can't we, the people below, be happy too? In the past, marrying into the family was a great joyous event, and you would have given me a red envelope."

"Here, here, here. Take whatever you want from these things at home. Who's stopping you?"

"I don't want anything else. I just want you to drink the medicine soup on time starting tonight."

"That thing is too bitter..."

"You are old, you will live to be a hundred years old. Ah Li is still young, Xiao Yuan is still young too. If there are any storms on the river in the future, we still count on you to protect us from the wind and rain."

"I'll just drink it."

The two entered the house and saw A'li coming down from upstairs.

"Ah Li, Xiao Yuan has agreed to become a disciple, and your grandmother has even let him take the Liu Family Qi-Watching Technique away. Are you happy?"

The original intention was to tease Ahri and make the girl happy, and it would be best if she could show some dimples.

But when Ahri heard this, instead of looking happy, her eyes dimmed.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yumei was also aggrieved, "When did our Qi-Watching Art become so unworthy of being put on the stage?"

A'li pushed open the door and walked into the tablet room, then went upstairs carrying a pile of tablets.

Liu Yumei could only instruct Aunt Liu: "Make another batch of tablets. Don't bring them home this time. Leave them outside. They will be needed in three days. Don't leave them without any gaps by then."

"Don't worry, I know."

"Was Ari angry just now?"

"He does look angry."

"Before, Ah Li was silent all day and I was very worried. Now that the child can express his emotions, I am even more confused. It's really strange."

"That's right, I don't know who I followed."

"Palm mouth."

……

Walking on the street late at night, Li Zhuiyuan was still recalling the scene with A'li in the room. He gently touched his face while walking.

When I saw Ah Li before, it felt as if the mottled and falling skin on my face was fixed with several staples.

After seeing Ari today, it was like I had grown a new skin, making me feel at a loss and a little itchy.

I didn't go back to school directly, but walked towards the food street outside the north gate. From a distance, I saw three shining words on the newly erected light stand - Lao Sichuan.

For merchants in the school ecosystem, every freshman season is a time for promotion.

College students are lazy, and attracting and serving them well often means gaining a stable customer base for the next four years.

Although only new students who need military training have reported in now, there are only a few empty seats in front of Lao Sichuan. It is estimated that they will have to expand the store in the future.

When Li Zhuiyuan came over, the police were just about to leave.

After seeing off his new colleague, Tan Yunlong lit a cigarette and saw Li Zhuiyuan.

"Uncle Tan, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"No, I came too early. They all have families and need to finish their meal early and go home. Xiaoyuan, I'll get you another grilled fish, boss..."

"No, Uncle Tan, I've had snacks, I'm not hungry."

I sat in Liu Yumei's study for so long and had to eat a lot of snacks.

"Are you really not hungry? Don't be polite to me, your uncle."

"How can you be so polite to me and Uncle Tan?"

"Okay, let's take a walk?"

"it is good."

Tan Yunlong took out his wallet and prepared to pay the bill. Li Zhuiyuan walked up to the proprietress first and pointed at the previous table. The proprietress responded and made an understanding gesture.

"Uncle Tan, let's go."

When they reached the other side of the street, Tan Yunlong smiled and said:
"It seems like you guys really come here to eat so often that you can even run up a bill."

“This shop is opened by a friend of ours.”

"Oh, no wonder."

At first, when everyone came here to eat, they still paid. Later, Xue Liangliang made a request and the consumption of the four of them here was directly charged to the account and deducted from his monthly dividends.

After all, they are friends who have experienced life and death together, so no one is being pretentious.

"Where are Brother Binbin and the others?"

"Business was good in the evening, so he stayed in the store to help out. I didn't let him out."

"So you and your son met today, but you haven't had a meal together yet?"

"I will sleep in your dormitory tonight, sharing a bed with Binbin. Sorry to bother you, Xiaoyuan."

"It's okay. Our dormitory is spacious."

As they walked, they entered the school.

"When I went to check Ran Qiuping's office today, I met Yu Shu. I suspect that my special transfer this time has something to do with him."

"That should be him."

It's not surprising that Yu Shu is involved in this case.

Because no matter how clean the fire was, it could not erase the fact that it was the "dojo" of the Mao family father and son. Based on this point, it was normal for Yu Shu to come over and take a look.

"But what does it have to do with me? I don't know him well."

"Uncle Tan, it may be because you performed too well in those incidents in Shigang."

"Did I do well? I just showed him around a few places and made some special reports. I think I was pretty lazy."

"It's already good, because this is what they want. They don't really care about ordinary cases themselves."

"Now that you put it that way, I think I understand a little bit."

"Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

"It's all thanks to you." Tan Yunlong exhaled a long smoke ring. Both he and his son owed others a favor.

"Uncle Tan, you have helped me a lot. Given the relationship between me and Brother Binbin, there is no need for us to be so distant."

"Yu Shu wanted to see Binbin's dormitory, so Binbin took him to a dormitory with sausages."

"Ah."

"Xiao Yuan, your affairs cannot be discovered by people like Yu Shu, right?"

"Uncle Tan, I don't want to get involved with them, but it doesn't mean I can't be discovered by them. Just do your job according to your heart and don't worry about me. Of course, as long as it doesn't violate your principles, it would be best if you can take care of me a little bit."

"hehe."

The two walked and walked, without saying where they were going, but they walked in unison, heading in the same direction, and arrived in front of an old teaching building.

Tan Yunlong raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

"Uncle Tan, how long is left before the crime?"

"Less than an hour."

"Do you think the murderer will come back to take a look?"

"I don't know, it depends on luck."

"Then I'll go up with you and wait."

"it is good."

Tan Yunlong likes this feeling very much. The other person knows what he is thinking. There is no nonsense and it is straightforward.

The only drawback is that after communicating and getting along with the boy in front of me, when I face my own son again, I will feel a serious sense of gap, and then I will find my son more and more displeased.

The two of them walked into the teaching building and went up the stairs. They both tacitly understood each other and walked lightly, trying not to make any noise.

The new students have just entered school and teaching work has not yet started in full swing. There are basically no lights on in the old teaching building at this point and it is very quiet.

Passing by a lecture hall on the third floor, the door number is CJ-302. This is the place where Wu Xinhui and his four friends rehearsed the program that night.

At the end of this floor is the bathroom, which is also where the crime occurred.

The two of them hid themselves in the darkness at the corner. No one spoke, they just stood there quietly.

The school was in an uproar because of the disappearance of five people. Today, Tan Yunlong and his colleagues conducted another round of on-campus visits in a very ostentatious manner, which was like stirring up the water in a fish pond.

There is a certain probability that the fish will be stimulated and return to the place where the crime was committed to revisit the scene.

Of course, the premise is that the fish remains in the school.

So, Tan Yunlong said that he just came here tonight to try his luck and help digest his food, and he didn't hold out much hope.

In fact, the investigation had already been launched a long time ago, and the police had conducted several rounds of questioning of relevant personnel, but the school had only just officially opened recently, and today was also the day when most faculty and staff returned to work.

Even if it's just a matter of luck, I hope the probability is as high as possible.

Waiting quietly, time passes by little by little.

Finally, Tan Yunlong said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The two walked down the stairs.

After they left, a dark figure appeared at the door of CJ-302. His teeth looked very white in the moonlight.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, Tan Yunlong, who had already left, ran back.

The figure turned around and ran, and Tan Yunlong chased after him.

But the figure did not run downstairs, but ran upwards, and continued to run all the way to the rooftop.

Before Tan Yunlong could say anything, the figure turned its back to him and fell headfirst.

Li Zhuiyuan, who did not follow the criminal but continued to stay on the third floor, happened to see a figure falling from the railing in front of him.

The opponent's figure seemed very uncoordinated during the fall.

This means that when the other party came out tonight, he even disguised his figure.

"boom!"

There was a dull thud of something falling to the ground.

Li Zhuiyuan did not hold on to the railing with both hands and look down, but took a few steps back and moved away from the railing.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed the railing and pulled it up, and a face poked out from the railing.

He now looks very thin, and what just fell off should be his clothes and disguise.

If the boy had been a little more curious, he would have been grabbed by the neck by the person crawling there.

Li Zhuiyuan and the other person looked into each other's eyes. The other person's face was covered with bandages, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. But just a pair of eyes was enough.

Just by remembering the feeling of that look, Li Zhuiyuan believed that he would be able to find him when they met in the crowd.

He didn't think of relying on his own strength to detain the other party. If it was an ordinary suspect, he could use the disguise of a teenager to show the other party what solid basic skills are.

But the other party was able to silently grab the outer railing to support his body while falling from the rooftop. Li Zhuiyuan had only seen Runsheng do this before.

This was a very powerful martial artist. Li Zhuiyuan would never fight with such a man before he was sixteen years old, his bones had not developed, and his body strength had not been supported.

The other party was obviously a little surprised, because he seemed sure that he didn't make any noise, but the young man did retreat in advance.

"Xiaoyuan!"

Tan Yunlong ran back to this floor.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed in front of him and told Officer Tan the other party's location.

By the way, I reminded you: "Draw your gun."

Because he was very sure that for this kind of martial artist, only the gun on Tan Yunlong's waist could make the other party afraid.

There was no doubt or hesitation, and he drew his gun smoothly.

The other person loosened his hands and fell down.

Li Zhuiyuan's ears trembled slightly: "He fell on the second floor."

Tan Yunlong immediately ran down the stairs to the second floor.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan heard the sound again and imagined the other party's actions. He jumped up again and grabbed the edge of the third floor. He wanted to come up again!
The other party was so bold that he played a cat-and-mouse game with an old policeman who had pulled out a gun.

Or maybe the other party wants to come up again and tease me?
Li Zhuiyuan reached his right hand into his trouser pocket, pressed out a red mark, and then drew it along his left arm.

He pointed at the area where the other person was about to stick his head out, and his eyes fixed.

The other person stuck his head out, and immediately felt a bloody red in his sight and a buzzing in his head.

In horror, the other party let go of his hand, and this time, he landed completely on the ground.

"Police, stop!"

Tan Yunlong's voice came from the second floor.

When you see a suspect, you shout "Don't run!" That's only a plot in the movies. In reality, you will only shout this when you feel you can't catch up with the suspect.

Li Zhuiyuan approached the railing and saw the figure running quickly towards the dense flower bed in front of him like a black monkey.

"boom!"

Tan Yunlong fired.

It was very decisive, and it was indeed the right thing to do. The atmosphere was originally a matter of taking a chance to catch the suspect. Besides, this guy could jump up and down and use the high-rise teaching building as a slide. Now, regardless of whether the other party was really the suspect from seven years ago, it was not unfair for him to be shot.

But at the moment the bullet was fired, Li Zhuiyuan saw the opponent's body tilted in a very awkward posture. Without affecting his running progress, he was actively avoiding the bullet.

Then, the other party leaped forward and sank into the flower bed.

But when he leaped, his body was a little crooked, because he didn't exert his full strength.

Tan Yunlong aimed his gun at the opponent's leg. Although the opponent dodged the bullet, the bullet should have caused a scratch on his leg.

Li Zhuiyuan walked down the stairs slowly. As he went down, he reviewed the previous scene in his mind, taking into account the opponent's strength, speed, and agility. Finally, he simulated the possibility that the opponent did not run away but actively launched an attack when they first met.

By the way, he also simulated the possibility that the other party would launch an attack on the two of them when both of them were in the shadows.

Li Zhuiyuan stopped.

Because the result of his own brain simulation was that the opponent had a greater chance of winning in the latter two possibilities, especially the last possibility, the fate of himself and Tan Yunlong would be very bad.

From this point of view, the possibility that the other party is the murderer from seven years ago is reduced.

Not only did the opponent not take the initiative to attack at the beginning, but people who have this kind of skills often practice boy's skills.

Unless the other person was a child like himself seven years ago. Of course, a child was not fully developed at that time and could not commit rape... and murder.

As long as the other person is an adult by then, it would be like the sixteen years old as planned.

There was no need for him to hide in the toilet and attack Qiu Minmin while she was using the toilet.

The criminals who make this choice in this scenario are most likely just relying on the general power advantage that men have over women, which is a typical criminal mentality of the weak.

The man just now was so skilled that he didn't even need the privacy, darkness and isolation of a toilet. He could walk into the classroom openly and use absolute violence to force all four people inside to surrender.

However, nothing is absolute. It is possible that the person is both skilled in martial arts and has some kind of psychological abnormality, and just likes the dirty environment of the toilet.

When Li Zhuiyuan walked out of the teaching building, Tan Yunlong was picking up the clothes that he had left behind.

"Xiao Yuan, what kind of clothing is this? It looks like a cape but not quite..."

Li Zhuiyuan reached out and touched it. There was a layer and a pad inside.

"Uncle Tan, this is a costume."

"Costumes?"

"Ah."

Li Zhuiyuan put his nose close to it and smelled it, and smelled a faint aroma, not the kind of aroma of perfume, but the aroma of specially made incense.

Thanks to the fact that Liu Yumei used to do this step when making new clothes for A-li every day, the boy's appreciation ability in this area was cultivated to a high level.

Although I can't tell exactly what kind of fragrance it is, it should be quite expensive.

And judging from the material of his clothes, this person must have a very high standard of living.

"Xiao Yuan, although I personally think that this man should not be the murderer from seven years ago, I still have to inform the team now."

"Uncle Tan, do you think so too?"

"I fired the gun." Tan Yunlong said seriously, "I was deeply moved by his actions at the moment of firing the gun. I will take you back to the dormitory first and tell Binbin that I will not sleep in your dormitory tonight."

"Okay, Uncle Tan, you're busy."

Li Zhuiyuan was sent back to the dormitory by Tan Yunlong.

Tan Wenbin came back even later. He went to take a shower first. When he came back, he yawned and said, "After we finished eating hot pot, the store was so busy. There were so many people buying things, as if they were free."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard. I feel happy about making money. But when I came back, I saw a few more police cars entering the school. Did something happen?"

Li Zhuiyuan briefly recounted what happened tonight, and ended with this sentence:
"Your dad said he won't come back to sleep with you tonight."

Tan Wenbin simply ignored the last sentence and shouted, "Fuck, martial arts master!"

Li Zhuiyuan ignored him and picked up the cup on the bedside table and took a sip of water.

Tan Wenbin continued to ask with great interest: "Brother Xiaoyuan, weren't you scared at that time?"

“A little bit, but it’s okay.”

"It's so dangerous. Don't walk alone next time."

"Your father is here."

"My dad is a jerk."

The dormitory door was pushed open.

"what!"

Tan Wenbin was so scared that he jumped up on the spot. This was a stress reaction.

It was Lu Yi who came in: "Binbin, your wash basin and towels fell on the sink. I'll get them for you."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

After Lu Yi left, Tan Wenbin sat on his bed and continued, "This kind of person is really amazing."

"Runsheng can do it. As for Yin Meng... it's barely possible."

Tan Wenbin pointed at his own face expectantly and asked, "What about me? I mean in the future."

"Come on."

Li Zhuiyuan lay down and prepared to go to sleep. He had originally planned to read that evil book tonight, but he had a lot to do tonight, so he had to postpone it.

He was indeed not that scared tonight, after all, he had seen countless deaths.

But at that moment, I actually felt a little powerless. It would have been great if there was a ghost or a dead person nearby. In this way, I could have kept that thing. I could even decide how many pieces to keep according to my own wishes.

It's no wonder that so many people would think of raising ghosts and killing them. Even if they don't use them to harm others, using them for self-protection is great.

Li Zhuiyuan turned his head to look at the shoe box under the windowsill.

I can't carry a pair of women's high heels with me in the future.

"By the way, Brother Xiaoyuan, remember to call me when you get up tomorrow. I have to go to the military training."

"it is good."

After a good night's sleep, my biological clock, which was restarted by Aunt Liu, is now exceptionally stable.

After getting up, he woke up Tan Wenbin first. Tan Wenbin rubbed his eyes, picked up the washbasin and went to wash with Li Zhuiyuan.

After returning, Tan Wenbin began to change into his military training uniform, while Li Zhuiyuan put the unopened copy of Liu's Qi-Watching Secrets that he brought back last night back into his schoolbag, and walked out of the dormitory with the bag on his back.

After he arrived, Aunt Liu served him breakfast. Today's main dish for breakfast was pork ribs porridge, served with a variety of pickles, which was very enjoyable to eat.

Liu Yumei said, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The old lady has the ability to tell at a glance whether you are resting or not, no matter how well you hide.

Li Zhuiyuan put down the spoon and said, "I slept too little."

Liu Yumei smiled and said, "You can read the book slowly. Don't be so anxious. Once it's given to you, it's yours. No one will snatch it from you."

Obviously, Liu Yumei was very satisfied with Li Zhuiyuan's obsession with her own "Liu's Qi-Watching Secrets".

A'li looked up at Liu Yumei.

Liu Yumei asked back, "What's wrong? Are you worried about Xiaoyuan?"

A'li lowered her head and continued to eat porridge. She was not feeling sorry for the boy.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I say, old lady, you are usually the first one to get upset when others make fun of you, but now you are the one making fun of them yourself."

"How can it be the same?" Liu Yumei stood up, "Xiaoyuan, come to my study after you finish eating."

"Okay, grandma."

After finishing his breakfast, Li Zhuiyuan took his book and went into the study.

Liu Yumei had already brewed the tea and was sitting upright on the couch.

Li Zhuiyuan placed "Liu's Qi-Watching Secrets" on the coffee table, with the characters on the cover facing him upside down, facing Liu Yumei.

After Liu Yumei placed the teacup in front of the boy, she turned the book so that the font was facing the boy.

Then, he took back his hand, smiled and asked:
"Come on, if there's anything you don't understand, ask grandma."

(End of this chapter)
