Chapter 1975: Chapter 1973: A Few Words to Awaken the Dreamer
But Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to do this either. If one day it became known, it wouldn’t be good for them.
After all, even if she took this path, it couldn’t be publicized for everyone to know.
Gu Junbai’s eyebrows slightly moved. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the room, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa beside him, and said, "We are not suitable to come forward in this matter. To have the truth of the grievance revealed to the world, it must be done by Chen Cheng’s family."
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly nodded, "Uncle is right, that’s what I thought too. It’s the most legitimate for his family to do it."
"Hmm, so now what method can we use to make them believe that Chen Cheng died unjustly?" Gu Junbai seemed to be talking to himself.
Ling Nan looked at the two people a bit puzzled, "Why does it sound so complicated when you say it? Wouldn’t it be solved once you find where Chen Cheng’s remains are buried?"
The room suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze became a bit evasive, while Gu Junbai awkwardly coughed a few times.
Ling Nan scratched the back of his head, laughing foolishly, "What, am I wrong? Only Chen Cheng knows where he’s buried. Even if he doesn’t, we can help him find it. Once we find his remains, I’ve heard that scientific technology can identify the owner of the bones, wouldn’t this matter be overturned?"
Gu Junbai and Gu Qiaoqiao unexpectedly fell silent together. These two incredibly gifted, exceptionally intelligent members of the Gu Family hadn’t even thought of such a simple reasoning.
One is indifferent to fame and fortune, the other racks their brain!
Yet they overlooked the most critical issue. Truly, it’s like a single remark wakening the dreamer.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Ling Nan, sincerely praising, "Xiao Nan, you’re really smart. We actually overlooked such a simple issue."
Ling Nan now understood, watching the two laughing unkindly, "You’re just too smart, making simple problems overly complicated."
Gu Junbai coughed and said, "Fortunately Xiao Nan reminded us."
Ling Nan became even more proud.
Since the direction had been found, the next step was to locate where Chen Cheng’s remains were buried.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t immediately go to rest; instead, she made up an excuse to retrieve something from the car, taking Ling Nan to the garage.
To avoid disturbing Chen Cheng, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mention his family situation or the situation of those two enemies.
Instead, she asked where his remains were buried.
Once the past memories came back clearly, Chen Cheng naturally recalled all of this.
The location wasn’t far from the site of the incident; it was just under the road in the woods.
That road Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t been to, and didn’t know if the woods were still there. If they had been built over with buildings, that would be bad.
But then she thought again, no, if they had been built over, they would definitely have dug a foundation, but Qin Fang didn’t mention it, so wasn’t it dug up?
But these could only be speculations. After comforting Chen Cheng with a few words, Gu Qiaoqiao and Ling Nan returned to the house to rest.
The next day, Gu Junbai and Gu Qiaoqiao together drew a talisman, then took Chen Cheng with them.
Perhaps that grassland held a power that confined him, so Chen Cheng could only appear at night. But after leaving there, casting this talisman was a bit easier, but even so, the two also consumed a large amount of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the consumed spiritual energy soon replenished.
The spiritual energy from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingertips is continuous; using a bit would replenish itself, because her body automatically absorbs the most pristine spiritual energy from between heaven and earth, as if she herself is a container capable of refining this spiritual energy.
And as direct descendants of the ancestors of the Gu family, it’s the same for them.
After breakfast, Gu Qiaoqiao told Qin Fang that they were going out for something, and then they drove away, heading in the direction of the old chemical factory.
First they needed to confirm if the burial site of the remains had changed, after all, the city was under construction, and many former forests had been developed into residential buildings or turned into office buildings for some units.
The city is expanding, constantly spreading towards the surrounding areas, which is unavoidable.
Soon the car arrived at the place Chen Cheng mentioned, and luckily, this forest was still there, a thousand meters away was the old chemical factory.
Presumably, this area wasn’t developed because it’s close to the chemical factory.
It was unexpected that the crime scene was so close to the factory.
Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit puzzled, if Chen Cheng truly intended to abscond with funds, he could have done it as soon as he left the bank. Why did he commit such an act on the way back to the factory, just when he was about to reach the destination?
And how did he escape after the incident?
These doubts were certainly noticed by someone at the time, but since the two people were injured, their testimonies were consistent, and Chen Cheng’s body couldn’t be found, so the case was put aside...
Judging by those two’s ruthlessness and scheming mind, presumably they spent the money in a way that couldn’t be detected.
But these are just Gu Qiaoqiao’s speculations; for specifics, they will need to wait until they go to the police station to find out.
This place is very secluded, with no traffic passing by.
Because the crime scene wasn’t on that main road, but on a side road that could only fit one vehicle, known as the Yellow Sand Road.
The road conditions were terrible, bumpy and evidently neglected for many years, with no maintenance. It seems that apart from some farmers going into the woods or coming out to walk, no other tire tracks could be seen, at least not for several hundred meters after which they were surrounded by silence.
At the place Chen Cheng pointed out, they stopped the car.
Chen Cheng’s impression of this place was profound because those two buried him between two lightning-struck woods.
After confirming the spot with Chen Cheng, all three were in a hidden state, to avoid being discovered, after all, the forensic technology is advancing, doing this is to prevent unnecessary trouble.
At this time, Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Junbai both activated the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantations, and Gu Qiaoqiao indeed sensed, under the snow, there was a set of remains.
Chen Cheng stood dazedly under the lightning-struck wood trees, staring at the ground for a long time, saying nothing.
Now, Chen Cheng was in a controlled range, so Gu Qiaoqiao conveyed to him what Qin Fang had said yesterday.
This was expected by Chen Cheng, yet he didn’t wish to hear or see it at all.
His body is condensed from that kind of gray mist.
Then he appeared visibly enraged, clenching his fists tightly, and emitting a gloomy, terrifying atmosphere. Then the color changed from gray-white to an intense black, and it kept churning.
He gnashed his teeth; his eyes seemed to turn red, "I want to kill those two, I want to kill those two..."
He kept muttering this sentence repeatedly, as if trapped in a dreadful curse.
