Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Exchanging Information

Jiangli: "The village chief’s family?"

Qing Yue: "Yes, the people who died were the village chief’s son, daughter-in-law, brother, and nephew."

Jiangli calculated in silence, "Four people dead? When did they die?"

Qing Yue: "The letter says people started dying sporadically three years ago. The timing wasn’t consistent. The first to die was the village chief’s brother, and the last was the daughter-in-law."

Fu Shiyan’s voice was slightly deep, "But when we came in just now, the village chief’s expression didn’t seem like someone who had lost family members."

Qing Yue frowned, "Feng Xing doesn’t know what’s going on either. Feng Xing now suspects that the anonymous task publisher might be the village chief. The letter also mentions that the last room in the village chief’s house is eerie, and every tourist who stays there leaves soon after and certainly dies."

Jiangli felt a weight in her heart, "Since the tourists have already left, how does the anonymous task publisher know they have died?"

Qing Yue shook his head, "This remains unknown. The anonymous letter didn’t mention it, and Feng Xing and the others couldn’t reach the person publishing the anonymous tasks."

"Publishing anonymous tasks, without any evidence, and yet they’ll come?" Jiangli frowned, feeling it wasn’t that simple.

Qing Yue: "I asked Feng Xing, he said they secretly investigated before, and indeed some people who visited here in the last two years suddenly died soon after returning home, most of them were due to — sudden deaths."

Jiangli’s brow twitched, "Sudden deaths?"

Qing Yue nodded.

Nowadays, not many die in such a manner.

The Unusual Affairs Management Office found several people who died this way shortly after leaving here, so they naturally took it seriously.

Feng Xing worried there might be some hidden secret involved, fearing something unexpected might happen to his subordinates coming alone, so he took the lead himself.

Fu Shiyan watched Jiangli’s expression and asked: "Lili, do you think there’s something wrong with this disease?"

Jiangli pressed her lips, "Liu Bin died from sudden death."

Previously, she only briefly explained Yan Guowei’s matter to Fu Shiyan and others, without detailing Liu Bin and others’ causes of death.

Qing Yue, hearing this, asked heavily, "What about the others, how did Hen Wenliang and that Su Ming die?"

Jiangli: "Hen Wenliang attempted assault and was killed in self-defense by the girl, Su Ming died in a car accident."

Qing Yue suspiciously: "But neither has anything to do with sudden death... Are their deaths accidental?"

Many tourists die from sudden death, Liu Bin included.

No matter who it is, they’ll associate Liu Bin with those tourists.

But Hen Wenliang and Su Ming’s situations are different, very likely their deaths were not caused by something during the trip but were accidents.

Jiangli said: "We can’t be sure now, Su Ming and Hen Wenliang’s deaths are strange, but now it’s impossible to investigate their causes since they’re dead without proof."

Qing Yue frowned: "But they all died after their trips ended. Their deaths are very likely connected to that trip, is this what the Abbot meant to say?"

Jiangli nodded.

She couldn’t help but glance at Qing Yue.

Indeed, when Qing Yue isn’t having an episode, his intelligence is still present.

At least more reliable than Xia Xin.

Qing Yue supported his chin, "But, what happened during the trip to cause so many deaths? According to what we know, over dozens of people have died. To cause such murders, it’s likely not a simple Specter, but at least a Ghost-level entity."

Jiangli’s expression darkened after hearing this.

That’s right, killing over a dozen to twenty people isn’t a simple Specter.

If it’s a Ghost, it’ll be hard to deal with.
