Chapter 358 Gangster Interrogation, The Misunderstood Witch

Because Sydney couldn't understand Spanish,

Therefore, she knew nothing about what Li Yuan and the children had said.

She watched as Li Yuan distributed food to the children and then pulled her away.

Sherry then looked at Li Yuan and asked in confusion:

"Li Yuan, what were you guys just saying?"

Actually, Shirley was also very curious about where Li Yuan got his cookies from.

He was clearly empty-handed the whole time.

However, that wasn't important to her, so Sherry didn't press the matter.

As Li Yuan walked towards the car, he explained to Xue Li:

"I inquired about what happened here, and the exact location of Anna's house."

Then, Li Yuan briefly told Xue Li about the fire.

Then he sighed and said softly:

"The residents here all believe that Anna was involved in the fire."

Upon hearing this, Sherry's heart tightened slightly.

I felt inexplicably sorry for that girl named Anna.

After the two returned to the car, Raphael jokingly said to Li Yuan with a smile:

"See? I told you it wasn't that chaotic here. That's just a stereotype."

However, before Li Yuan could speak...

A classic Toyota pickup truck, kicking up a wisp of dust, pulled up next to Li Yuan's car.

Two armed gang members jumped out of the car.

He reached out and knocked on Li Yuan's car window, then waved, signaling for the window to be lowered.

Upon seeing the gun in the other person's hand, Sherry, sitting in the back seat, immediately tensed up.

She asked Li Yuan in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Li Yuan, what should we do?"

"It's okay, Sherry, don't be afraid."

Li Yuan gently comforted Xue Li.

Then, he exchanged a glance with Raphael, who had an awkward expression.

As he rolled down the car window, Li Yuan jokingly remarked:

"Raphael, sometimes stereotypes aren't entirely wrong."

Seeing the car window rolled down, Raphael offered no explanation.

Instead, he cleared his throat helplessly and greeted the gang members:

"Brothers, what's up?"

The gang member first looked into the car.

I was a little surprised to find out that Li Yuan was an Asian.

He asked in a deep voice, his face expressionless:

"This is CAF territory. What are you doing here?"

Who sent you?

Raphael noticed that the other party did not seem to harbor much hostility.

He then smiled and explained:

"We came to the village specifically to find someone, and we'll leave immediately after we're done. We won't stay here."

The gang members looked puzzled upon hearing this.

He frowned and asked:

"Who are you looking for? I know everyone in this town."

Clearly, the gang didn't believe Raphael's words.

Li Yuan was getting a little impatient.

He frowned, intending to give Grace a wink to deal with these troublesome guys.

However, Raphael reached out and stopped Li Yuan's actions.

Raphael smiled and said to the gangsters:

"Her name is Anna, and it's rather unusual."

Upon hearing Anna's name, the gang members immediately showed expressions of disgust.

He took a half step back and muttered:

"Oh, you're looking for that witch? But she's dead."

Raphael nodded and said:

"I know, we just want to talk to her mother to get some information, nothing else."

The gang members nodded with a hint of disbelief.

After taking one last deep look at Li Yuan and Raphael,

He waved his hand and said:

"Go inside, don't linger too long."

After Raphael thanked the other party and said goodbye,

Li Yuan rolled up the car window and slowly drove into the depths of the town.

"Raphael, why are you stopping me? They're just a few gangsters. Killing them would be doing a service to the people."

"Of course I don't want to stop you, but we still need to buy things here, don't we?"

Raphael sighed and explained helplessly:

"CAF is another name for the Tijuana Cartel."

The entirety of Tijuana is their territory.

The Felix family is another group of extremely cruel individuals.

I know you're not afraid of them, but dealing with them is still quite troublesome.

Li Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Remembering that he still needed to buy materials, he fell silent.

Instead, they slightly increased the car's speed.

As the car drove deeper into the town, it approached Anna's house.

Graffiti gradually appeared on the surrounding ruins.

All of them had the same word written on them—witch.

Li Yuan recalled the doubts and exclusion Anna faced in the story.

He sighed and said slowly:

"People have never been able to tolerate people who are too special."

Simply because you are different, you will be ostracized and isolated.

Simply because they were different from them, they became outcasts in the eyes of others, deserving to be shunned.

Li Yuan said this to Anna.

But it was also as if she was speaking to Grace and Sherry in the back seat.

Both of them had similar experiences to Anna.

However, what Grace faced was far more cruel and bloody.

Fortunately, Grace has moved on from her past traumatic experiences and her reaction is not too strong.

Sherry, who was facing doubts from those around her, felt a deep sense of empathy.

Looking around at the environment that seemed familiar from her dream, she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on:

"Anna seems to be getting a lot of strange looks here."

"That's right."

Li Yuan simply replied with one sentence and then fell silent.

He did not choose to spoil the plot.

After all, Sherry still needs to find the earthbound spirit Anna left in the house so that they can resolve their misunderstandings.

Sherry inherited not only Anna's ability to see ghosts and her precognitive abilities, but also Anna's lingering resentment.

As they were talking, Li Yuan found a house whose walls were covered in graffiti.

Li Yuan guessed that this must be Anna's house.

He parked the car in the yard.

Then, he led the other three people into the house.

The house was very quiet at the moment, and it seemed that no one was home.

Li Yuan reached out and knocked on the door, asking softly:

"Hello, is anyone home?"

The sound dissipated into the air without a response.

After a moment, seeing that no one responded,

He reached out again, intending to knock on the door once more.

Suddenly, the door was opened.

A young man walked out of there.

Li Yuan looked at the man with a smile and asked in a low voice:

"Hello, is this Martinez's house?"

The man nodded and said softly:

"Yes, this is indeed Martinez's house."

"Is Mrs. Martinez here?"

"Yes, but Mrs. Martinez is resting; she's not feeling well."

"We don't mind waiting a bit."

Sherry spoke up from the side:

"We have something important to ask Mrs. Martinez."

Upon hearing this, the man was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from inside the room:

"Emilio, let them in."

Emilio nodded upon hearing this and gestured to Li Yuan and the others, saying:

"Please come in, but don't talk for too long, she's very weak."

Li Yuan gave a soft "hmm" and then stepped into the house.

In the dim light,

Li Yuan saw Mrs. Martinez, who was leaning on a cane and standing by the window with her back to everyone.

Seeing this, Li Yuan waved to Xue Li, indicating that she should be the one to start the conversation.

Sherry took a deep breath, walked up to Li Yuan, and said softly:

"Hello, Mrs. Martinez, I am Sydney Wells, and this is my friend, Mr. Li Yuan..."

"What do you want?"

Mrs. Martinez interrupted Sydney's self-introduction.

Their tone sounded somewhat harsh, as if they weren't welcoming.

Sherry turned around nervously and looked at Li Yuan.

Seeing Li Yuan nod in affirmation, she continued:

"I want to...I want to talk to you about Anna."

I want to know how she died.
