Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Nothing Special About It
Qiu Tang was already living in her own room, which was very close to her parents’ room.
Upon hearing her mother’s scream, she woke up immediately and rushed to her parents’ room, where she saw her father’s body.
Her mother was huddled in the corner of the bed at the time, limp all over, her face deathly pale. Apart from screaming, she seemed unable to do anything else.
On the other side of the bed lay a very eerie corpse.
The corpse was completely devoid of energy and flesh, like a hundred-year-old being that had withered and died, leaving only skin wrapped around bones, with the skeletal structure clearly visible.
Qiu Tang remembered her father being a bit chubby.
When she first saw the corpse, she was completely stunned, unable to scream, unable to feel fear, just bewildered, unable to connect that corpse to her father at all.
At the time, she even thought it was a dummy.
It wasn’t until her grandfather came over and covered her eyes with his hand.
Her vision plunged into darkness, and all she heard was her grandfather calling the police.
Not long after, the police came and took her father’s body away.
When she got the news again, it was confirmed by the police that the corpse was indeed her father.
But even at that moment, Qiu Tang felt no sense of reality.
She couldn’t believe at all that the skin-and-bones corpse was her father.
At the funeral parlor, she stared at the coffin, her mind in a fog, without even shedding a tear.
“Skin and bones?” Hearing these three words, Xia Xin felt a jolt in his DNA, and he leaned forward, asking, “Did your father have any bleeding on him? Was there a smell of water in the room?”
Jiangli and Bai Changfeng couldn’t help but look at Xia Xin.
Qiu Tang was puzzled, “No, why are you asking this?”
Xia Xin hesitated, caught Jiangli’s gaze, and awkwardly scratched the back of his hand, “I, I just suddenly remembered Zhou Shutong’s case from not too long ago…”
Bai Changfeng and Qiu Tang spoke in unison.
“What case of Zhou Shutong?”
Xia Xin: “…”
Jiangli calmly replied, “Another case, unrelated to this one.”
Xia Xin nodded with a forced smile, “Yes, yes, I might have remembered wrong, it’s not important.”
Qiu Tang and Bai Changfeng were suspicious but did not pursue the matter further.
Jiangli brought the topic back, “And what about Ms. Qiu’s mother’s death?”
Qiu Tang’s thoughts were pulled back, and she said, “I did not see my mother’s body right away. Later, at the funeral parlor, I saw her for the last time, but my mother’s body was completely different from my father’s. My mother’s corpse showed no abnormalities; it was just a normal deceased body, nothing unusual.”
Bai Changfeng pursued further, “No skin and bones?”
Qiu Tang shook her head, “No, it was very normal, nothing special about it.”
Bai Changfeng furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
They were both under thirty years old. If they were cursed to die, why were the two bodies completely different?
Could it be that it wasn’t a curse at all?
Bai Changfeng couldn’t help but look at Jiangli.
Xia Xin looked around at the others at the table, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke, “Ancestor, do you think it might not be a curse, like at Zhou Shutong’s house, maybe encountered a fierce ghost, and Ms. Qiu’s mother just died normally?”
Jiangli pondered for a moment, then said, “No conclusions can be drawn for now.”
There is insufficient evidence in all aspects to reach any conclusion.
Bai Changfeng and Xia Xin understood Jiangli’s meaning.
Bai Changfeng then changed the subject, “Then let’s not talk about it for now, let’s eat. I see the rice noodles are about to clump together; such delicious rice noodles shouldn’t be wasted.”
Xia Xin nodded cooperatively.
Qiu Tang, although not really in the mood, did not refuse either.
