Chapter 568 Mr. He

The next morning, Fu Wen had prepared the carriage early and was waiting for them.

The carriage looks ordinary on the surface, with nothing special about it, but in reality, the space inside is quite spacious.

To avoid attracting attention, Liu Yueyao arranged for a steady and reliable young man to drive the carriage, so that everyone else remained inside the carriage.

Fu Wen laid a thick quilt on one side of the carriage and settled He Min on it. He then used two low tables to separate the carriage. This served two purposes: firstly, to keep He Min in place and prevent him from being injured again by the carriage's swaying and bumping; and secondly, to ensure that Lu Qing and Zhu Yu had enough space.

He and Fu Lu sat in a narrower spot at the front, the two brothers squeezed together, looking a little cramped, but not too uncomfortable.

And so, the five people in the car set off.

He Min was initially cautious. After telling the coachman where the morgue was, he tried his best to stay awake. However, after leaving the city gate, he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know if he relaxed a little or was just too weak. He was only woken up by the talisman when the carriage stopped outside the morgue.

"Wake up, we're here!" Although Fu Lu tried to be gentle, his voice was still quite loud, and even when he lowered it, it was still muffled. "My brother went to find the police here. You can talk to him yourself, otherwise how will my wife examine the body?"

He Min was still a little groggy when he was woken up, but after Fu Lu helped him lift the carriage curtain so he could see the outside, he quickly came to his senses.

A short while later, the old constable in charge of the morgue was called over. When he saw He Min, he quickly recognized him and was shocked to see that He Min had a bruised and swollen face and was covered in injuries.

"Mr. He, what happened to you? Who hurt you like this?!" The old policeman was extremely respectful to He Min.

He Min smiled bitterly and slowly shook his head: "It's a long story. These people are my saviors. They came with me today to help me examine my daughter's body."

I'm injured right now and can't go up and down the stairs easily, so please help me get them there.

"Oh! Good! Good!" the old constable replied repeatedly. "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of things. You should rest well and recover from your injuries!"

He Min then looked at Zhu Yu standing next to the car. Today, Zhu Yu was dressed in a narrow-sleeved men's suit for convenience, and his hair was tied up, making him look like a young man.

"Benefactor," He Min could no longer call her "female bodhisattva" because of her attire, and pleaded instead, "My daughter is so pitiful. She died before she could get married, and she was still a virgin... So I beg you, benefactor... please take a good look at her yourself!"

He Min was too embarrassed to speak too bluntly. He had already been in great turmoil when the coroner examined him, but in order to find out the real cause of death, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

After all that trouble, nothing was detected, which caused him immense pain and torment.

Now that his female benefactor claims to be an expert in autopsies, although he doesn't know exactly how capable she is, the thought that she is at least a woman makes it easier for him to accept, even if it's a hopeless case.

So he deliberately hinted to Zhu Yu, hoping she would understand his meaning and not let Fu Wenfu and the other men go in and stare with wide eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu understood his meaning. As a woman, she understood He Min's concerns, so she nodded and said to him, "Don't worry, I can handle it all by myself." He Min breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully bowed to her repeatedly.

Zhu Yu was led by the old constable to the morgue.

"Old officer, this Mr. He is highly respected in this area, isn't he?" Zhu Yu struck up a conversation with the old officer as they walked.

"Yes, Mr. He is kind-hearted. In the school where he teaches, some children come from poor families, so he charges them less money, even though he himself doesn't have much money.

Some children's families didn't send them to school, so after they finished gathering firewood outside, they would secretly run to the school gate to eavesdrop. He would also let those children listen along, without chasing them away.

My neighbor's child would run to the school gate every day after finishing his chores to listen to Mr. He explain characters and words. Mr. He said that even if one didn't sit in the school to study or think about taking the imperial examinations, knowing a few more characters was better than being completely illiterate, so as to avoid suffering losses outside.

The old constable sighed: "I don't know what others think, but I think Mr. He is an upright gentleman. He never makes things difficult for others without reason."

Moreover, all these years, she's only had this one daughter, and he's raised her with great difficulty, yet she hasn't even had a single good day..."

"Have you ever seen his daughter before? She was a perfectly healthy woman, without any ailments, and then she suddenly died?" Zhu Yu asked again.

"That's exactly what happened! No wonder this whole thing is so strange!" The old constable nodded repeatedly. "Who in this village doesn't know that child!"

While other girls were at home learning embroidery or weaving, Mr. He's daughter spent her days learning to read and write with her father at the school, a fact that everyone could see.

The girl was very refined and gentle, with no trace of pettiness in her demeanor. The only problem was that she wasn't particularly pretty. This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but unfortunately, a wealthy family took a liking to her and came to propose marriage. This made some families in the village who also had daughters of marriageable age extremely envious, and they made a lot of sarcastic and sour remarks behind her back.

If it weren't for that, the child wouldn't have become obsessed with wanting to become beautiful.

What a wonderful child he was! No illnesses, no ailments, perfectly healthy, without a single problem...

Who would have thought…

The old policeman sighed regretfully, shook his head, and pointed ahead: "Mr. He's daughter's body is lying in there."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yu again: "Can you go in by yourself...? Besides his daughter's body, there are also two hunters who were killed by wild dogs on the mountain. Their families haven't come to claim their bodies yet, so they're temporarily left here. Don't be afraid!"

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid." Zhu Yu smiled at the old constable. "I promised Mr. He that I would inspect it myself and not let anyone else be present. I have to keep my word."

Upon hearing this, the old constable nodded gratefully to Zhu Yuzhi: "You young man are bold and trustworthy, truly commendable."

Hopefully, you can help Mr. He figure something out!
