Kapitel 81: Chapter 80
Chu Renmei finally appeared.
Her hair was disheveled, obscuring her face.
She wore a long blue robe, styled from the Republic of China era.
She stood there silently, making no movements, yet exuding an eerie and terrifying presence that instilled fear.
However!
She couldn't intimidate Chen Ye.
Chen Ye could sense a pair of eyes watching him from behind that black hair.
Chu Renmei had likely never encountered someone like Chen Ye before: impervious to weapons, unyielding in spirit, and entirely unafraid.
Chen Ye stared calmly into Chu Renmei's hidden gaze.
After a moment.
Chu Renmei moved.
Her body floated and drifted, her legs motionless, yet she glided silently and eerily through the air.
Then, Chu Renmei left the living room and drifted into the adjacent kitchen.
As her figure vanished, the lightning and thunder outside quickly ceased, and the weather returned to its previous clear state.
Finally.
Chu Renmei realized she couldn't do anything to Chen Ye and temporarily left.
Chen Ye smiled slightly and also turned to leave.
He knew, of course, that Chu Renmei wouldn't give up hunting him so easily.
Anyone who drank the river water was cursed and became Chu Renmei's target.
The reason she left was simply because she couldn't deal with him at the moment.
Her next attack could come at any time!
…
Leaving the house, Chen Ye went to a nearby underground parking garage. After searching around, he found a luxury car and saw some valuables left by the owner.
He punched the car window, shattering it, and took out a wallet and a gold watch.
In the 1990s setting of the "The Eternal Evil of Asia" dungeon, mobile payments weren't a thing.
So, Chen Ye easily found a thick stack of cash in the wallet.
After obtaining the money, Chen Ye bought a map and headed to the police station.
He needed to find someone who was very important in the original storyline.
And the quickest place to find someone was, of course, the police station!
At the police station.
Chen Ye didn't go to the reception desk; instead, he slipped into the office area while the police were busy and opened the door to an inspector's office.
Inside the office.
The inspector was leisurely drinking tea.
Seeing someone enter without knocking, the inspector was about to get angry, but seeing a stranger, he held back and asked, "Who are you?"
Chen Ye sat down casually and said, "I'm looking for someone!"
"Looking for someone?"
Hearing this, the inspector was immediately annoyed.
How dare someone bother him with such a trivial matter?
Outrageous.
The inspector was about to kick Chen Ye out, but before he could say a word, he changed his demeanor to a smile.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
Naturally, the inspector became so courteous because Chen Ye had placed a thick stack of cash on the table.
Without saying a word, Chen Ye pushed the money toward the inspector and said, "His name is Li Qiang, an almost hundred-year-old man who used to live in Huangshan Village... That's all I know!"
"This is a down payment. If you find him, there will be more money for you afterward!"
Of course, Chen Ye was bluffing.
He only had this much cash.
Seeing Chen Ye's generosity and confident demeanor, the inspector immediately believed that Chen Ye was a wealthy young man.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll find him right away!"
The inspector then left the office and instructed a few subordinates to help find the person.
In less than half an hour, the inspector returned with three sets of information.
"Sir, based on your description, we found three elderly men who fit the criteria. Take a look!"
Chen Ye took the three files and opened the first one.
Seeing the photo, his eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the first file was the target.
"Thank you, Officer!" Chen Ye expressed his gratitude.
The inspector, however, rubbed his fingers together, hinting for more money.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, took off the gold watch, and said, "I don't have more cash right now. This watch is yours. I'll return with more cash to reclaim it after confirming the person."
"No problem!"
The inspector readily agreed, personally escorting Chen Ye out of the police station.
Originally.
Chen Ye could have just knocked the inspector out or killed him, making things easier.
But doing so would attract police attention and bring endless trouble.
So, Chen Ye used money to handle the matter.
Money can make the devil turn millstones!
Avoiding trouble was worth the expense to Chen Ye.
After all, the money wasn't really his, and he couldn't take it with him.
…
Leaving the police station, Chen Ye hailed a taxi to his next destination.
Following the address from the file, he arrived outside a house.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
Chen Ye knocked on the door.
He was in luck; someone was home.
"Who is it?"
An old voice came from inside, followed by the door opening, revealing an elderly man's face.
The old man had graying hair, a face full of wrinkles, and only a few teeth left. He looked very old.
Despite his age, he seemed in good health and quite energetic.
This old man was Li Qiang!
In the original storyline, Chu Renmei was Li Qiang's god-aunt.
When Chu Renmei was alive, they had a good relationship.
Li Qiang was the one who told her the truth about her husband's betrayal.
Back then, Chu Renmei turned into a vengeful ghost and killed 66 out of 67 people in Huangshan Village, sparing only Li Qiang, who remained unharmed.
Chen Ye sought Li Qiang to guide him to Chu Renmei's burial site!
In the original story, it was mentioned that Chu Renmei was buried in the back hills of Huangshan Village.
A real estate developer later threw her remains into a pond there.
However, the exact location of the pond wasn't detailed in the story.
Chen Ye didn't want to waste time searching the entire back hill.
So.
He directly sought out Li Qiang to lead him there!
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
Chen Ye smiled politely and asked, "Hello, sir. Are you Li Qiang?"
"Yes, I am!"
"That's good!" Chen Ye continued, "I'd like you to take me to Chu Renmei's burial site."
At the mention of "Chu Renmei," Li Qiang's face changed instantly.
"I don't know any Chu Renmei. You've got the wrong person, young man!"
Li Qiang said and tried to close the door.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't budge.
