Chapter 1115: Robbing Corpses
“Jiawei?” Shen Yanxiao frowned and looked at Shen Jiawei.
Shen Jiawei lowered his head and said in a low voice, “City Lord, I am in the wrong. Please punish me.”
Shen Yanxiao was stunned for a moment before she sat down on the chair. Shen Jiawei had been performing well ever since he entered Sun Never Sets, and she could tell that he had turned over a new leaf.
“Let’s talk after you get up.”
Shen Jiawei did not dare to move and insisted on kneeling.
“City Lord, please allow me to finish.”
Shen Yanxiao sighed. “Just say it.”
“A few days after the City Lord left Sun Never Sets, my sister’s… her grave was dug up and her corpse disappeared,” Shen Jiawei said.
“What!” Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Jiawei in surprise.
“Who did it?” Shen Yanxiao was sure that Shen Jiayi was dead at that time. In order to prevent Shen Jiayi from having any special symptoms due to her transformation, she had even asked Yan Yu to specially examine her, and he concluded in the end that there was nothing wrong with her. After settling everything, she ordered someone to bury her.
“I don’t know. I went to pay my respects to my sister not long ago and discovered it.” Shen Jiawei’s voice was very low. He knew that Shen Jiayi had committed all sorts of evil so a peaceful death was unlikely. However, she was already dead and yet, such a situation had happened. It was honestly…
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. She almost subconsciously thought of the group of people who had internally restructured Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei’s bodies. Other than them, there was no other suspects.
However, Shen Jiayi was already dead. Why would they go through so much trouble to just bring her corpse back?
“How about the other man’s corpse?” Shen Yanxiao asked the man who came into contact with Shen Jiayi.
Uncle Nine said, “That man’s remains are still there. There are no traces of it being touched.”
Shen Yanxiao frowned. Instead of bringing back the corpses of their subordinates, the other party had just taken Shen Jiayi away. No matter how she thought about it, it was weird.
“Jiawei, do you know which race Shen Jiayi was integrated into?” Among the eight major races, only the Undead race possessed the ability to come back from the dead. However, when Shen Jiayi died, her wounds were no different from an ordinary person. Shen Jiawei himself had integrated the characteristics of the Undead race and when he was injured, not a single trace of blood would flow out from his wound. However, such a situation did not happen to Shen Jiayi.
“I don’t know. Sister didn’t say anything after we met.” Shen Jiawei shook his head.
Shen Yanxiao could not get any leads on this matter and this incident was out of her expectations.
“This has nothing to do with you. Get up.” Shen Yanxiao was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong. Shen Jiayi was seeking her own death, but Shen Jiawei had turned over a new leaf.
Shen Jiawei hesitated for a long time before he stood up, but he still looked guilty.
If he had noticed something amiss with Shen Jiayi from the start and persistently persuaded her, perhaps things would not have ended up like this.
“Uncle Nine, did you bring someone to check Shen Jiayi’s grave?” Shen Yanxiao could only search for clues from other places.
“Yes. The grave was thoroughly destroyed. Shen Jiayi’s corpse was taken away along with the coffin. Those people must have been very careful. They did not leave any footprints by the grave,” Uncle Nine said.
With this lead cut off, it would be difficult for Shen Yanxiao to continue investigating.
“Let’s not care about her for the time being. Are there any other things in the city that I should be aware about?” Instead of dwelling on a clueless matter, it was better to deal with other matters first.
