Chapter 2364: 2178: The Desiccated Corpse Case Suspects

Originally, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were going to part ways after leaving the villa, with Ye Qiu planning to head back to the Peach Blossom Spring Villa. Unexpectedly, Zhou Wenting wanted him to go to her place instead. Ye Qiu drove to the villa where Wang Yulian lived.

He had been here many times before, but now it was mainly Zhou Wenting and the housekeeper aunt who took care of her. Her elder daughter Zhou Yuxia and second daughter Zhou Lili would occasionally visit on weekends.

As for Zhou Wenting’s father Zhou Dabao and Wang Yulian, they were divorced, so there was definitely no possibility of them coming here.

Now, when Ye Qiu drove up, Wang Yulian saw it was him and appeared very enthusiastic. Besides Ye Qiu having treated her illness in the past, it was mainly because she knew Zhou Wenting stayed in Jinling primarily because of him.

Otherwise, Zhou Wenting might still be in France.

When Ye Qiu went in for tea, Zhou Wenting, who had been following by car, arrived shortly after.

"Auntie, Wenting and I have already had lunch."

Wang Yulian thought they hadn’t had lunch and wanted to have the housekeeper prepare it. Since they had already eaten, there was no need to bother.

After sitting for a while, Zhou Wenting called Ye Qiu to her room, and Ye Qiu asked, "Have you visited your father?"

Back then, Ye Qiu had treated Zhou Dabao’s late-stage cancer. He was a bit worried whether those cancer cells might return, but given the current situation, it seemed unlikely.

"No, my stepmother is always with him, so there’s no need for me."

Perhaps thinking of her stepmother made Zhou Wenting unhappy.

But this seems to be a man’s nature; like Ye Qiu, they are often like that.

Eating what’s on the plate while watching what’s in the pot.

"Is he still in good health?"

"I heard he’s doing well, the old husband and young wife are touring the world, always traveling abroad."

Zhou Wenting added.

If that’s the case, then there certainly shouldn’t be any problem.

After staying inside for half an hour, Ye Qiu came out, ready to leave.

Anyway, there’s nothing to do here now.

As he was about to get in the car, Wang Yulian called out for Ye Qiu to visit more often.

Ye Qiu drove back towards the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community when his phone rang. It was Wang Xiong calling.

"Boss Wang, how’s it going?" Ye Qiu asked.

"The masters you were looking for are already at my home."

Wang Xiong replied.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Actually, even without Wang Xiong’s cooperation, Ye Qiu could still find those wizards.

After hanging up, Ye Qiu called Zhao Ruxue.

"Ruxue, the suspects have been found. You can come over with your team."

"Where are they?"

"At Wang Xiong’s place."

Wang Xiong’s place?

Zhao Ruxue knew that Wang Xiong was the heir to the Wang Corporation and also the son of the cemetery owner by the Mountain Lake.

She really didn’t expect the dried corpse case could be related to those people.

Ye Qiu drove to Wang Xiong’s home.

Recently, when Wang Xiong invited the wizards over, they seemed to trust him, but he didn’t expect that after drinking tea from the housekeeper, they all fell asleep.

This time, the tea had sleeping pills in it.

When Ye Qiu arrived at Wang Xiong’s home, it was a standalone villa in the suburbs.

He had already seen Wang Xiong pacing back and forth.

On one hand, he feared the case might implicate him, yet he also feared these people’s revenge. However, after thinking it over, he felt that if these cases were indeed connected to the wizards, they likely wouldn’t come out of prison.

He’s now trying to redeem himself.

"They’re inside, after drinking the tea with sleeping pills, they fell asleep."

When Ye Qiu entered, he indeed saw three men and two women.

They were all asleep in a room.

"Mr. Ye, I really have nothing to do with this matter; I just provided the money, what they do is their business."

Wang Xiong said.

Ye Qiu’s ability to track him down indicated that this young man was certainly skilled in this area; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly be so formidable.

"Whether it has anything to do with you, I’m not sure. The police will handle it fairly."

About half an hour later, Zhao Ruxue and her subordinate officers arrived.

After entering, they handcuffed all the sleeping suspects, took them to the police cars, and returned for investigation.

After those people were taken away, Ye Qiu glanced at Wang Xiong.

He knew the other might not have much time left, either.

As he was leaving, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Currently, only Xiaomai was there in the villa, Lin Xiang was definitely back at school.

"Ye Qiu, you’re back?"

"Not taking a nap?" Ye Qiu asked when he saw Xiaomai playing the piano alone.

"I slept for half an hour, got bored, so I came down to practice the piano."

"Alright, you practice. I’ll go upstairs to play on the computer."

Ye Qiu went upstairs to his room, turned on the computer and, besides browsing some news, he learned that in the Northeast, heavy snow had already begun to fall.

Moreover, soon several powerful Siberian cold fronts would enter the country.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, winter had arrived again.

Last year during winter, Ye Qiu still remembered Xiaomai going out alone in the middle of the night and then leaving on her own.

Time indeed flies by quickly.

Entering November, they would soon be in December.

After reading the news, Ye Qiu continued to play games.

Around dinner time, his phone rang; it was Zhao Ruxue calling. Zhao Ruxue said, "Ye Qiu, those dried corpse cases are indeed linked to them, but there are still many unclear issues."

"Then continue investigating."

Ye Qiu knew that his sixth sense was never wrong, though it wasn’t based on guessing, but on combining various clues he observed to confirm.

It can be said that now, after Zhao Ruxue clarifies this dried corpse case, the pressure from above will naturally be gone.

However, there are still many doubts in this case, and it can’t be disclosed yet.

Ye Qiu was no longer concerned with those matters.

As he came downstairs, Lin Xiang had also returned from class.

The two girls were now preparing to go to the nearby market to buy groceries for dinner.

In the afternoon, Ye Qiu saw in the news that there might be a cold front arriving, and sure enough, after sunset, he started feeling that chill.

He didn’t feel much, but his parents, being just ordinary people, would definitely not withstand being frozen.

It seemed that tonight he needed to go buy clothes with them to brace for the cold.

After Xiaomai and Lin Xiang returned with groceries and made dinner, Ye Qiu said, "After dinner, let’s call my parents to come back and go out together to buy warm clothes, the cold front might arrive in the next few days."

"Really? It’s going to get cold?"

From Malaysia, where it’s like summer all year round, Lin Xiang really hadn’t experienced the chill of a harsh winter.

In Malaysia, where the temperature is consistently around thirty degrees Celsius, Jinling had already dropped to the teens, and the nights could get even colder.
