Chapter 49 - Reading The Dead

Chapter 49: Reading The Dead

??

When Liu Sanniang heard this, she wanted to cry.

This had been her mother’s wish for two lifetimes. Nothing was more important to her than her mother. Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, I promise you.”

She would definitely find a good husband, have children, live a perfect life, and die without regrets.

With Liu Sanniang’s assurance, Madam Wei was finally relieved.

After Madam Wei left, Liu Sanniang washed up and went to sleep.

In a daze, she opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar place.

Liu Sanniang was awake. She reached out but could not touch anything. She knew that she was in a dream.

This time was different. She walked into the path and heard a lot of laughter.

She looked toward the source of the voice. It was a family holding a child they had lost and found. They were crying and laughing and kissing the child.

The child leaned into his mother’s arms and smiled, as if he could feel her mother’s love.

Liu Sanniang felt a warmth in her heart.

A golden light flew towards her and entered her body. She felt very comfortable.

She was like a spectator looking at a family reunion.

When Liu Sanniang woke up, the sky was already bright. She opened her eyes and could feel that her strength had increased a little. There was a hint of determination in her eyes.

It was a path she had never taken in her previous life.

It was as if she was enlightened and could understand some things that she did not understand before.

Madam Wei had already gone to work and her father and brother had gone to the fields. Liu Sanniang found the breakfast they left for her in the pot.

The porridge was delicious, and the fragrant vegetable bun was simply superb. Madam Wei’s culinary skills were terrific. Liu Sanniang narrowed her eyes and ate with a smile before going out.

She already had a way to deal with Hong Ying.

Liu Sanniang came to the government office.

She asked the officer to inform the Magistrate of her coming. This time, the officer quickly went to deliver the message.

Soon, Wei Shilai came out in person. “Miss Liu, please come in.”

Liu Sanniang followed Wei Shilai into the inner hall. Wei Shilai was looking at the results of the autopsy. The men had committed suicide by taking poison, but strangely, their poison sacs were not in their teeth, but in their stomachs.

Wei Shilai felt stumped by this case again.

Liu Sanniang said, “Sir, I think I can give it a try.”

Wei Shilai was surprised. “Try what?”

Liu Sanniang said, “I can try to unmask Hong Ying, but I’m not sure if it will work.”

Wei Shilai was delighted. “Miss Liu, I’m grateful enough as long as you are willing to try. It doesn’t matter if you fail.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Before that, I want to see the corpses of those people.”

Liu Sanniang needed to find out step by step what was the key to breaking Hong Ying’s ability.

And there was definitely something that those corpses could tell her about Hong Ying.

Wei Shilai frowned. “Miss Liu, their corpses are not pleasing to the eye. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Liu Sanniang was only a fourteen-year-old girl unlike those who got used to seeing dead bodies and did not think much of it after a point in time.

However, ordinary people usually couldn’t accept it.

Liu Sanniang knew she’d definitely feel disgusted, but she was still willing to try. “I know.”

For some reason, she was just disgusted, but not afraid.

The corpses couldn’t be more terrifying than Chu Yan, could they?

Wei Shilai really admired Liu Sanniang.

He personally took her to see the corpses. The bodies were still at the government office and had not been sent to the newly built mortuary yet.

The government office had a separate place to keep the corpses. When Wei Shilai brought Liu Sanniang over, the coroner was also present.

Lin Zheng and Officer Zhou were both there to help.

Wei Shilai waved his hand and asked the others to leave. Only Lin Zheng, Officer Zhou, and the coroner were left in the mortuary.

Officer Zhou looked at Liu Sanniang in surprise. “Miss Liu, you…”

Liu Sanniang looked at Officer Zhou. The black aura around him had increased. Liu Sanniang frowned. “Officer Zhou, have you encountered anything recently?”

Officer Zhou was confused by the question and replied. “No.”

Other than helping the magistrate investigate the case, he did not do anything else.

Why did Liu Sanniang ask this?

Liu Sanniang shook her head. She could only see Officer Zhou being devoured by the black aura, but she did not know what it was or where it came from.

Other than Officer Zhou who was a little confused, no one else thought much about it.

Wei Shilai said, “Miss Liu, all seven corpses are here.”

The coroner started to speak. “They all committed suicide by poisoning. The poison is powerful and is in the stomach. Once it’s triggered, they’ll die on the spot.”

Wei Shilai nodded. “Yes. After they were captured, they died right away.”

He was really angry that he didn’t even get a chance to interrogate them.

Liu Sanniang walked over.

Lin Zheng said, “Miss Liu, be mentally prepared. Their eyes are still open.”

Wei Shilai added hastily. “Yes, yes, yes.”

The coroner frowned. This girl was extraordinarily bold. Did her parents and brother know that she was so brave?

Liu Sanniang smiled. She was not afraid. She pulled apart the white cloth covering the dead man’s face and looked at it.

The dead man’s face was green. For some reason, his eyes couldn’t close. They were wide open and the body already had livor mortis. His expression seemed to indicate that he died in pain.

Liu Sanniang frowned. She reached out and released her power.

She was stronger now. Even if he was dead, she could read everything about him.

The body was dead, but the soul was still alive.

He had committed heinous crimes when he was alive, so he could not be relieved after he died. That was why he died with a pained expression and his eyes open.

Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and quietly explored his mind. Not long after, she heard painful moans and cries for help.

They were dead, but their souls were imprisoned in their bodies and could not be freed. They were in extreme pain. Now that someone could sense them, they naturally cried for help crazily.
