“Let’s study them together and see what they represent.” The professor fetched the magnifying gla.s.s and started studying the horrifying thing carefully.
Mu Qiqi also took the chance to search for information using the name of the movie. Then, she printed out the pattern in the movie and showed it to him.
“This pattern is tattooed onto the body after death. The function is to destroy the soul of the dead so that he or she won’t be able to be reincarnated. It’s sort of a curse. The murderer did not just put a curse, he even dismembered the bodies. It seems like the murderer hated the man and woman very much.”
“That murderer must have learned some kind of sorcery. It’s almost the weekend now. Why don’t you follow the team to the place where the corpses were found? Maybe you can discover something there.”
Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan exchanged glances and nodded.
Although they had come across such cases before, they were just simulations.
Now, there were two real corpses lying in front of them. To be frank, although they believed in science, they still felt chills running down their spines when they encountered such things.
…
At night, in the hospital, Grandpa Sheng’s ward was cramped with the Shengs.
After Grandpa Sheng had suffered from such a big event, of course the Shengs had to show him their care for him.
Naturally, these people would complain about Sheng Xiao. “Eighth Brother was so selfish. How could he not inform his uncles and did it all by himself when something so serious happened to you? People who don’t know him might think that he was scheming against you and the Sheng family.”
“Who knows what Eighth Brother was thinking? He might have bad intentions…”
“I was the one who let him do that.” Grandpa Sheng leaned on the bed and said to everyone. “If you wished for me to die early, you can go on sowing discord. I shall see what your intentions are.”
With this, the whole family quietened down.
And the brothers of the Sheng family grasped the underlying meaning behind his words.
Grandpa Sheng must have reconciled with Sheng Xiao. Did that mean that Eighth Brother was returning to the Sheng family?
“I know what you are thinking.” Grandpa Sheng chuckled and said, “But Eighth Brother does not plan to come back. Be a.s.sured of that.”
“We don’t mean by that. After all, it’s his own decision to leave the Sheng family in the beginning. He was so strong-willed that time that he even hurt you and Huang Yao when he left. Now that we finally have peace, of course we will hope that our lives will not be affected.”
“Grandpa, please rest as much as possible. Don’t waste your energy explaining to us. After all, it’s the specialists hired by Eighth Brother who saved your life. We should be thankful to him,” said Sheng Kai. “Don’t you think so, uncles?”
Everyone kept mum. They did not know what was playing in Sheng Kai’s mind.
“Since you’re all here today, I shall clarify this in advance. I’ve made my will long ago and I don’t plan to change it. There are three copies and each of them are kept by different people. So, no matter what you are trying to do today, nothing will change. I am very pleased with the situation of Huang Yao under Third Brother’s leaders.h.i.+p now. And I hope you all will help him as much as possible. As for the other intentions, stop thinking about them if you know you should not. Even if I’m gone one day, don’t dream about causing trouble. I’ve arranged everything.”
Hearing Grandpa Sheng’s words, the crowd fell into silence. They looked at each other. Who did not know that he favoured Sheng Xiao over them?
Since he had made his will, it would definitely benefit Eighth Brother.
“Grandpa, we’re just worried about your health.”
“If you really do, then stop coming and making so much noise here. I can’t rest,” said Grandpa Sheng. “Just don’t come here again.”
“Since you have said so, Father, then we will go back now. We won’t worry since Second Brother and Gu Ziling are taking care of you.”
Not knowing which uncle who made the suggestion, the rest of them quickly left the ward.
Meanwhile, Sheng Kai’s face had an ugly expression on.
Because he had never thought that Grandpa Sheng would make his will so early. And he even prepared three copies of it.
This was a disadvantage to him.
Because now, Third Brother was a more favorable grandson while Eighth Brother was his favorite. As for the rest of the brothers, they did not have much place in Grandpa Sheng’s heart.
So, he had to know the contents of his will early. But, who in this world, apart from Grandpa Sheng, knew about it?
Sheng Kai thought for a whole day and finally knew who his target was—the butler!
…
At night, it was very cold outside.
Feng Shanshan did not go home with Tang Yan because she stayed in the forensics laboratory while Tang Yan went to the field to search for clues.
So, on the way home, she bought some medications for wound healing.
Tang Yan reached home after midnight. When he saw Feng Shanshan already asleep, he did not disturb her. The medications on the table caught his eyes, and he showed an expression that he rarely wore on his face.
The trick of harming oneself was indeed very useful.
After that, he took a quick shower. Feng Shanshan heard the noise and woke up.
She sat up and saw Tang Yan walking out of the bathroom. So, she said, “There’s a bathroom in your room. Why are you using the one here?”
“The shower head is broken,” said Tang Yan. “Just sleep. I’ll be quiet.”
“Your hands…”
“It’s fine. Just some scratches.” Tang Yan looked at the wounds on his hands. “I’m used to this.”
Feng Shanshan stood up, grabbed the medications and approached him. “You’re so heartless. Are you trying to gain pity from me?”
“I always get injured. Besides, men are not that fragile.”
‘Liar!’
Feng Shanshan scolded him in her heart.
“Tang Yan, can I ask you something?”
“Yes.”
“Can you tell me honestly exactly how many girlfriends you had before?”
This was obviously a bonus question, but Tang Yan knew that if he could not answer it the way Feng Shanshan wanted him to, she would feel disappointed.
“Probably eight, including you.”
“I don’t count,” Feng Shanshan said. She was at most a partner on the bed. “Then why do you still pretend to be an innocent man? Mu Qiqi thought I bullied you.”
“I never said that I never had a girlfriend.”
“A man like you always pretends to be a good man after getting tired of a woman to seduce another. If I did not see through your mask, were you planning on marrying an innocent girl and having children with her?”
It was as if Feng Shanshan was saying that he was a l.u.s.tful man.
So, he took the chance to hold her waist. “If I get tired of playing, will I still have you?”
Feng Shanshan looked into his eyes and asked doubtfully, “You want it now?”
