641: Chapter 0642: Stepping on a Bone and Getting Stabbed 641: Chapter 0642: Stepping on a Bone and Getting Stabbed According to the top-secret detailed information from within the City Police Bureau, this place was once a forested mountain long ago.
However, due to the rapid developnt of Jinling over the past twenty years, the urban area experienced a shortage of land.
Consequently, this parcel of land, with its excellent transportation and other aspects, was eyed by a developer.
With their money and connections, the developer secured the land over twenty years ago with the intention to develop and build a series of luxury villas.
Unexpectedly, as soon as construction began and the forest was cleared, nurous skeletons were discovered, and even more were found when excavating the foundation.
Subsequently, bizarre incidents began to occur—construction equipnt malfunctioned, workers disappeared, and terrifying events were discovered by workers in the dead of night, among other things.
This case has been closed for over twenty years and has never been disclosed to the public.
Now, the site has beco a vast expanse of abandoned buildings.
After Ye Qiu finished reading the information, he felt even more suspicious about that place.
However, aside from the incident with the Tiger Gang mbers last night, nothing else had happened.
“Since I have ti now, why don’t we go take another look?”
Zhao Ruxue was very brave.
Even after witnessing a “living dead” once, she beca even more interested in such mysterious affairs.
Regarding the suspect of the mass poisoning case, Ye Qiu had already told her that the suspect might have fled, so continuing the investigation would be a waste of ti.
Ye Qiu looked outside, and it was getting darker, the rain heavier.
He wasn’t bothered by it.
His decision to go there today was driven by a feeling that sothing was bound to happen eventually.
“Are you scared to go?”
asked Zhao Ruxue.
Ye Qiu laughed.
There was nothing in this world that he found frightening.
Leaving the City Police Bureau with Zhao Ruxue, they stepped out into the rain.
Ye Qiu opened the black umbrella, shielding them from the downpour, and they got into the car.
Zhao Ruxue hurriedly took the passenger seat while Ye Qiu took the driver’s, his hair and shoulders sowhat wet.
As Ye Qiu started the car and turned on the air conditioning, Zhao Ruxue took out her handkerchief and dried Ye Qiu’s hair.
With such heavy rain, even with the windshield wipers on, it was difficult to see a few ters ahead clearly.
However, there were significantly fewer cars on the road now.
As Ye Qiu drove away from the area, heading back towards the abandoned buildings in the suburbs, what had taken only an hour or two earlier, now took more than two hours due to the heavy rain and darkness, despite having the high beams on, visibility was still poor.
Approaching the abandoned construction site, looking out of the car window, they saw a pitch-black area, with only the sounds of the rainfall and the wind.
There was also a sound that seed terrifying to hear.
“Should we get out of the car?”
Ye Qiu asked.
“Of course.”
Now that they were there, they definitely had to get out and look around.
But the ground was uneven and full of water.
Zhao Ruxue, wearing sneakers, would surely get her pants and shoes wet.
Ye Qiu told Zhao Ruxue to take off her shoes and roll up the cuffs of her pants.
The two got out of the car, holding the umbrella over them in the pouring rain, Ye Qiu almost shoulder to shoulder, carrying Zhao Ruxue as they walked forward.
Zhao Ruxue gave Ye Qiu a sidelong glance.
In the glow of the high beams, Ye Qiu led Zhao Ruxue back to the overturned car they had seen previously, which had contained Huang Mao and Hong Mao.
When Ye Qiu had last checked, there were two skeletons inside.
However, now when he used his phone’s flashlight, he discovered nothing at all.
“Nothing at all?”
Zhao Ruxue said.
“When I ca to look earlier, I could still see two skeletons.”
Ye Qiu said.
Zhao Ruxue felt it was sowhat impossible, but now, she knew that Ye Qiu would not lie to her.
As they moved forward, the sharp fruit knife that was visible earlier was now gone, presumably subrged.
Ye Qiu felt around with his hand and indeed found the sharp fruit knife.
This convinced Zhao Ruxue, because Ye Qiu even knew where the fruit knife was.
Continuing further inside, the skeletons that could be seen earlier, as well as the fruit knives, iron rods, and iron pipes that the gang mbers brought over last night, were all visible just a mont ago.
Additionally, there was the imitation gun that Ye Qiu rembered being here.
Now all of them were out of sight, soaked by the floodwaters.
“Stay here, I’ll go get the imitation gun,”
Ye Qiu was worried that Zhao Ruxue might step haphazardly and accidentally injure the soles of her feet.
Ye Qiu had Zhao Ruxue hold the black umbrella while he went alone to the spot where Brother Xiao Hu had thrown the imitation gun last night.
Groping around, he indeed found the imitation gun.
“Found it!”
Ye Qiu said.
Now without the umbrella to cover him, his hair and clothes were all wet.
Zhao Ruxue hurried over with the umbrella, ready to cover Ye Qiu, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the sole of her foot that nearly caused her to fall.
“It hurts a lot!”
Zhao Ruxue said.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know what I stepped on, it scratched the sole of my foot.”
Last ti, after Ye Qiu treated her soles, there was no dead skin left, and her foot skin was tender, smooth, and elastic, truly like a pair of jade feet.
Had he known it was like that, Ye Qiu would not have had her take off her shoes.
Ye Qiu went over, embraced her, and asked Zhao Ruxue to bear with the pain while he carried her to his rcedes SUV.
Once in the car, Ye Qiu felt even more that the place was eerie.
He didn’t stay any longer, fearing that it would get even darker.
He reversed the car first and drove out towards the main road.
After driving a long way, Ye Qiu stopped the car and saw Zhao Ruxue sitting in the back seat, enduring the pain, but her face was covered in sweat.
This wasn’t from heat, but from sweating due to the pain.
Ye Qiu went to the back seat, then turned on all the interior lights, placed Zhao Ruxue’s injured foot on his thigh, and upon careful examination, saw it was a piece resembling bone.
He asked Zhao Ruxue to bear with the pain,
Then he removed the sharp piece of bone.
Upon closer inspection, to both Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue’s surprise, it turned out to be a real piece of human bone.
Zhao Ruxue, who was previously unafraid of heaven or earth, now upon seeing this bone, for so reason, felt an indescribable sense of fear when thinking about those files.
Ye Qiu opened the car door and threw it out.
He then took the bottled water from the car, washed Zhao Ruxue’s sole and his hand clean before saying, “Ruxue, I’ll quickly heal your foot injury.”
