Chapter 231 Ye Jingke and Qin Meilian Argue
Upon hearing this, everyone crowded around, including the photographer.
In a pit that was neither too deep nor too shallow, two female corpses lay side by side, the soil next to them was dark red, indicating that they had only recently died.
Xie Qing collapsed to the ground, trembling violently. "Someone...someone's dead...Mom...I'm scared...I want to go home..."
"Nanchuan and Zhong Zheyi, keep digging." Qin Meilian jumped into the pit, trying to move the female corpse out. "Liao Yunqing, give me a hand."
Ye Jingke didn't move, quietly illuminating the way for everyone.
Cheng Ai added Fang Yanmu on WeChat, started a video call, and pointed the camera at the female corpse. "Besides us, have any other people come to Lantern Village recently?"
Worried that Ye Jingke would get tired of holding his phone, she released ten origami cranes, which floated in mid-air and flew around freely.
Qin Meilian and Liao Yunqing jumped out of the pit and carefully placed the body on the ground.
Fang Yanmu immediately contacted major travel agencies and received a prompt reply: "A ten-person tour group went to Lantern Village today. Do you need detailed information?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Qin Meilian wanted to report the situation, but Ye Jingke stopped her and said in a very low voice, "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. Ai Ai is the only one who needs to be exposed."
She nodded slightly, then ran towards Nanchuan to check if any new bodies had been found.
Along the way, Qin Meilian accidentally kicked a female corpse on the ground, narrowly avoiding falling.
The female corpse trembled, tilted her head, and the long hair covering her face slipped down, landing right in front of Xie Qing.
"Aaaaaah! Face! No skin! Mommy, help! Aaaaah!"
A piercing scream echoed through the night sky, startling the crows that had landed on Grandpa Li's courtyard wall, making a painful noise to the ears.
"Shut up!" Cheng Ai snapped coldly, then said into her phone, "No need, just give me an address, I'll send the body over in a bit, and you can do the autopsy."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Miss Cheng." Fang Yanmu ended the call and immediately convened an emergency meeting.
Xie Qing ran trembling and hid behind Ye Jingke. Qin Meilian squatted in front of the two female corpses, took off her clothes, and carefully examined them through the blue light.
"To have one's skin cut off while still alive before death, that's too cruel."
Zhong Zheyi and Nan Chuan dug clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively. Just as they were about to meet, they unearthed three more female corpses, one large and two small.
Without exception, their skin had all disappeared.
Cheng Ai formed a hand seal and summoned a teleportation talisman, which she then affixed to Grandpa Li's courtyard wall.
A blue vortex appeared, and Ye Jingke quickly moved a female corpse over and threw it in.
Seeing this, Liao Yunqing and Zhong Zheyi from Nanchuan also stepped forward to help.
Qin Meilian stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, while Xie Qing timidly ran to Liao Yunyan and hugged her arm tightly.
Liao Yunyan's lips twitched, and she impatiently shook her head, but the other person was too strong, and she couldn't get it off no matter what she did.
Damn! You illegitimate daughter of the Cheng family, you're lucky tonight. I refuse to believe you won't find a single opportunity in the next two days!
Inside the police station's conference room, Fang Yanmu was speaking at the front, but before he could finish two sentences, a blue vortex appeared on the roof.
Then, the five corpses fell down with a thud, crashing onto the table and splattering blood and mud all over the faces of those around them.
One of the young police officers couldn't help but scream, "Ahhh... Chief, what's going on... This is terrifying..."
Although Fang Yanmu was also frightened, he was the bureau chief and could not lose his authority. "Quiet! Miss Cheng has brought the victim here. Verify her identity first, then conduct an autopsy!"
"Yes, sir!" the officers responded in unison, immediately taking on their respective duties.
Lantern Village was as quiet as ever. The six guests and six photographers stood silently at the door of Grandpa Li's house.
After a long pause, Ye Jingke finally suggested in a deep voice, "Let's restore the scene to its original state, and then go back to our rooms to rest."
Nanchuan and Zhong Zheyi once again acted as laborers, filling in the pits they had just dug.
It was getting late, and Xie Qing's stomach was rumbling. She peeked out from behind Liao Yunyan and asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiao Ai, I'm hungry. Can you conjure up some food?"
Cheng Ai sighed helplessly. She had been screaming in fright just now, but now she was in the mood to eat?
She slightly curved her lips into a smile, took Ye Jingke's arm, and led the way, saying, "Come with us, everyone, there's plenty of food!"
The group stepped into Grandpa Zhang's kitchen. Cheng Ai went into the house and used a teleportation talisman to find Lü Hanmo.
In about forty minutes, she brought out more than a dozen dishes.
Liao Yunqing moved Grandpa Wang's dining table over for the photographer to use.
There were vegetables, meat, wine, water, and rice; the dishes were very plentiful.
Cheng Ai told everyone that she had set up a barrier in the kitchen, making it very safe and allowing everyone to speak freely.
Qin Meilian ate a piece of braised pork and said frankly, "Everyone, I am actually the police officer in charge of investigating the Lantern Village case. Please keep this a secret for me in front of the cameras, and please do your best to cooperate with me in solving the case over the next two days!"
She paused for a moment, then added, "Especially Miss Cheng, your mystical arts are incredibly wondrous. If you can wholeheartedly serve us, it will be much easier for us to handle similar cases in the future."
Ye Jingke took a sip of baijiu in silence, and said unhappily, "You can't rely on Ai Ai for everything. She's young and not mature enough."
Qin Meilian gave a forced smile, "Mr. Ye, there's no need to worry. Miss Cheng is no ordinary person; she will be fine!"
"That's not something you can guarantee." Ye Jingke's handsome face grew increasingly dark, his right hand holding the wine glass trembling slightly. "Keep your unrealistic ideas to yourself, Ai Ai doesn't want to hear them!"
"You are not Miss Cheng." Qin Meilian peeled a shrimp and placed it in Cheng Ai's bowl. "You have no right to make decisions for her!"
Ye Jingke picked up the shrimp meat and threw it into the trash can. "I can take care of my woman myself. I don't need your fake kindness."
Qin Meilian wasn't angry; she still smiled faintly, "Mr. Ye, you're too much of a chauvinist. No girl likes that."
Ye Jingke tilted his head back and drank the baijiu in his glass, then poured himself another full glass. "My relationship with Ai Ai is none of your business!"
The photographer remained completely invisible throughout, leaving the guests utterly bewildered.
Liao Yunyan took a deep breath, trying to suppress her inner resentment, and pretended to eat.
To carry out the plan smoothly, we must first make the Cheng family's illegitimate daughter lower her guard!
Liao Yunqing took a sip of beer and was secretly surprised.
Ever since I met Ye Jingke when I was a child, he has always had excellent control over his emotions and rarely gets angry.
Why does he lose control so easily after being with Cheng Ai?
Nan Chuan and Zhong Zheyi were just bystanders; although they were curious, they didn't ask any questions.
While eating, Xie Qing asked Cheng Ai, her words slightly slurred, "Sister Ai, why did Movie Emperor Ye and Lianlian have a fight? Do you know why?"
Cheng Ai blinked, shook her head slightly, and looked puzzled.
Qin Meilian stood up and walked to her side, placed her hand on her shoulder, bent down slightly, looked into her eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Miss Cheng, Xiao Ai, Ai Ai, are you willing to fight alongside me?"
