Chapter 950: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 950: A Petrified Lu Sanzhu
Da Niu followed closely behind her and went down as well.
As soon as they went down, they saw Lu Sanzhu sitting on the ground, staring straight ahead.
Shu Yu turned her head to look. In the faint light shining down from the cellar entrance above their heads, she saw a thin and frail middle-aged man sitting not far away, leaning against the corner of the wall, with his eyes wide open and unmoving. It was chilling.
The cellar had an unpleasant smell, but amidst the various odors in this space, there was a distinct stench of decay.
This person had probably been dead for several days.
Shu Yu took out a matchstick and blew on it twice, instantly brightening the light. The cellar didn't feel as cold as before.
Finally, Lu Sanzhu, trembling, stood up with the support of Da Niu. He wasn't afraid of dead bodies, but in such a scene, it was truly terrifying.
Shu Yu walked towards the corpse with the matchstick in hand, wanting to confirm something. Seeing this, Da Niu quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't go. Let me... let me go and check."
After speaking, he forcibly took the matchstick from Shu Yu's hand without any room for negotiation.
Da Niu's scalp was also tingling, but he couldn't let his little sister go in front.
In a short while, he turned around with a serious expression and said to the two of them, "The person is already dead."
Shu Yu thought, how should she respond to that? He just used his fingers to check if there was no breath at the tip of his nose, and that confirmed it?
However, after observing for so long, even without approaching, Shu Yu knew that this person had indeed been murdered.
Just as she was pondering, they heard Jiang Gongzi's voice from the cellar entrance. "Lu girl, how are you all? Are you okay?"
"We're fine. We're coming up now."
Shu Yu was the first to climb out of the cellar, followed closely by Lu Sanzhu, and Da Niu was the last to come out.
By the time he emerged, Shu Yu had already explained the situation inside the cellar.
Master Jiang's brows furrowed tightly. He sent someone down to confirm and had Hu Bo take a look as well.
When Hu Bo came up, his face turned grim. "It's indeed Old Cui. He's been dead for two days."
The onlookers exploded upon hearing this. Old Man Cui was dead? And he died in his own cellar?
They lived so close, yet they hadn't noticed for two days.
No wonder they hadn't seen Old Man Cui leave his house these past few days. They thought he was like everyone else, unable to rent land and in a bad mood, hiding at home. Who would have thought he had lost his life?
"How did he die?" Jiang Gongzi asked.
Hu Bo replied, "He had two stab wounds—one in the leg and one in a vital area."
Master Jiang took a deep breath and turned to his subordinates. "Go report to the authorities. Don't touch the bodies for now."
After speaking, he waved his hand, instructing everyone to leave.
"Don't linger here. If we disturb the scene and the officials come, we'll all be held accountable. Everyone, leave first."
He was the first to walk out the door, and the villagers couldn't help but take a glance inside the cellar before quickly retreating.
However, someone ran back and found a white cloth, covering Old Man Cui's body with it.
Master Jiang glanced at the woman who was being held by Ying Xi, his brows furrowing.
The man named Li Xiaoshan was killed by this woman. But as for who killed Old Man Cui, that would have to be determined through an official investigation.
Master Jiang felt a headache coming on. A homicide occurred his estate, and not just one person, but two deaths. It was ominous to everyone.
Especially since the buyer stumbled upon this directly, he feared that his estate would be unsellable.
Thinking of this, Master Jiang couldn't help but look at Shu Yu. "Lu girl, today's incident must have scared you. I will have someone keep an eye on this side. As for you..."
