Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1636 7 Heart Tablets 17

Jiang Xinxin took a photo and sent it to Mu Dai, briefly explaining the situation. Mu Dai quickly called, "Sister Jiang, is that really Zhang Guanghua?"

Jiang Xinxin understood what Mu Dai meant. She sighed softly and said, "This person is indeed Zhang Guanghua, so you should be mentally prepared, Miss Yan."

Cao Yanhua, Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha drove to the center of Gaoyuan Lake. Following the sound of shell wind chimes, they found an abandoned fishing boat and a lot of supplies and household garbage inside. Cao Yanhua concluded from the date on the food packaging bag that someone had recently lived on the boat.

Yan Hongsha found the personal belongings of her second uncle Yan Jiuxiao in the cabin and confirmed that her second uncle Yan Jiuxiao was the one living there.

But the bedroom that Yan Jiuxiao had cleaned up was already covered with a light layer of dust, indicating that he had not been here for a few days.

Mu Dai listened to Yan Hongsha calling her grandfather to say that she had found Wuzhu Village and the place where her second uncle lived, and asked Old Man Yan not to worry. She couldn't bring herself to say those words that Yan Jiuxiao was very likely to have been killed.

Cao Yanhua came over and saw Mu Dai looking at Yan Hongsha, hesitant to speak, and he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He lowered his voice and asked Mu Dai: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Yan Jiuxiao?"

Yan Hongsha hung up the phone and walked straight towards Mu Dai. She could tell that Mu Dai wanted to say something to her, so she asked directly: "What's wrong? Did you find anything bad?"

Yan Hongsha actually had a bad premonition, and Mu Dai stepped forward to pull Yan Hongsha over, avoiding Cao Yanhua, and then spoke hesitantly: "You were worried that others would harm you before, but in fact, our original destination was Wuzhu Village. We were chasing a murderer..."

Yan Hongsha was stunned, not daring to even think about the extreme possibility, "...Kill...the murderer?"

Having made the beginning, it was easier for Mu Dai to continue the rest of the conversation. "Yes."

"According to the information we've gathered so far, the murderer has indeed arrived in Wuzhu Village. Sister Jiang and Luo Ren just apprehended someone in the village, the murderer we're looking for. Judging from his usual behavior, your second uncle might be in trouble..."

Yan Hongsha also understood what had happened, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying, but she had just reported to her grandfather that she was safe!

Yan Hongsha squatted on the ground crying. Mu Dai thought for a while, turned around and walked behind her to a place where he could hardly hear her movements.

Seeing this, Cao Yanhua was certain that something must have happened to Yan Hongsha's second uncle, Yan Jiuxiao, and he couldn't help but ask Mu Dai worriedly, "Is it that heart fragment that's causing all this trouble again?"

Mu Dai sighed and said, "It's possible that he's not. Zhang Guanghua has also come here and has been captured by Sister Jiang and Luo Ren."

As he spoke, Mu Dai pulled up a picture from his phone and showed it to Cao Yanhua. Cao Yanhua almost cried out in surprise. He looked at Yan Hongsha, who was squatting there to calm down, and then at Zhang Guanghua, who looked so old that he was almost unrecognizable in Mu Dai's phone. He asked, "Could this be the result of taking out the fragments of the Heart Tablet?"

Mu Dai felt like sighing again, but she held it back. "Zhang Guanghua obtained the Heart Tablet Fragment over twenty years ago. Influenced by it, he killed Aunt Hong's family, who looked down on him and blocked his career. He was later killed by Aunt Hong, and he survived only because of the Heart Tablet Fragment."

"Sister Jiang said that Zhang Guanghua took the initiative to embrace the Heart Tablet Fragment and became its puppet, all for the extraordinary power it brought. So over the years, he used the Heart Tablet Fragment to do many things. Now that the Heart Tablet Fragment has been taken out by Sister Jiang, he will certainly pay the price for it."

As he was speaking, Yan Hongsha suddenly stood up, wiped his face, and walked towards Mu Dai. Mu Dai hurried to meet him, and heard Yan Hongsha say, "Take me to find the murderer. I want to know everything about my second uncle!"

It was great that Yan Hongsha could cheer up and do something. Mu Dai quickly pushed Cao Yanhua and said, "Go drive."

When they returned to Wuzhu Village, Yiwansan was already waiting at the village entrance. As soon as Cao Yanhua stopped for a moment, Yiwansan got in the passenger seat and acted as a navigator, giving Cao Yanhua directions. He also comforted Yan Hongsha, saying, "Miss Yan, I'm also very sad about what happened to Mr. Yan. However, what we should do now is to thoroughly investigate the whole matter and give an explanation to those who are paying attention to these things."

Because Luo Ren's car was parked there, another car could not pass. Yiwansan pointed Cao Yanhua to another way to the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, when passing by the old patriarch's house, he saw a lot of seasonal vegetables growing in his private plot!

Yiwansan remembered this incident and quickly pulled Luo Ren over to tell him about his discovery when he arrived at the ancestral hall. "Just now, when I passed the old patriarch's house, I noticed that the field in front of his house was neatly planted with several seasonal vegetables. There must be someone at home!"

Zhang Guanghua was still lying there with a dagger stuck in his back and his limbs broken. No one moved him. Yan Hongsha hadn't expected the murderer to be in such a miserable state, but he still squatted down and shouted, "My second uncle Yan Jiuxiao, why did you kill him?!"

Zhang Guanghua was speechless, but looking at Yan Hongsha's painful expression, he actually gave him a malicious and sarcastic smile, which made Yan Hongsha so angry that she wanted to kick him immediately.

Mu Dai quickly stopped him, "Hey hey hey, he can't withstand your kick, he's almost dead!"

In order to suffer less, Zhang Guanghua continued to provoke Yan Hongsha with his eyes. Yan Hongsha really couldn't stand such provocation and kicked Zhang Guanghua directly. Zhang Guanghua died in just a few breaths.

Luo Ren and Mu Dai hurried forward to carefully examine him, confirming that Zhang Guanghua was truly dead. Cao Yanhua hesitantly suggested, "As the saying goes, evil can last for a thousand years. Zhang Guanghua 'died' over twenty years ago, yet he's still causing trouble today. Why don't we... burn him..."

When they just came over, more than Yisan noticed that someone was taking care of the vegetable garden of the old patriarch's house. Cao Yanhua also caught a glimpse of it. Only Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha, who were preoccupied with their own affairs, did not notice it.

Since there were people in the village, even if Zhang Guanghua did not die at their hands, the police investigation results would only show that they were the murderer, so Zhang Guanghua could not be kept.

Luo Ren winked at Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua, then nodded at Mudai Chao Yan Hongsha. The three of them stepped forward and pulled Yan Hongsha, who hadn't reacted yet, over. Yiwansan suggested, "Just now when I came here, I saw someone tending to a family's vegetable garden. If we're looking for information about your second uncle, they should know something."

"Let's go over and ask someone now."

Yan Hongsha looked at Mu Dai, who nodded and explained, "This person has long been dead in official records..."
