Fang Yutang didn't know why, so Granny Hua lifted the quilt covering herself.
The black water she just coughed up did not fall to the ground, but quickly integrated into her skin.
Fang Yutang clearly saw that the skin that had absorbed the black water had bulged out and quickly moved to Granny Hua's lower limbs.
And her lower body no longer looked like a human being, her feet were completely covered in mud, and there were large clusters of thin thread-like things on her calves, which looked like the roots of plants.
"Greed, greed, these are all disasters caused by greed." She said to herself, "But if people don't have greed, are they still human?"
Granny Hua covered herself with the quilt again. She had the mildest symptoms in the village, but Fang Yutang still couldn't imagine her pain.
She opened the small box on the table. For a moment, the golden light inside was so bright that it almost blinded Fang Yutang.
Full of gold bars were arranged neatly, each one weighing about 200g. The box didn't look big, but it contained at least twenty bars.
In Granny Hua's eyes, these gold bars were just travel expenses paid to Fang Yutang.
"You can slowly consider whether to accept my commission. What I want is two points. First, I want you to investigate the buyer of the puppet and why he has this puppet in his hands. Second, you want to Bring the puppet to me and let me handle it so that she can be buried in peace. In addition, there is an additional condition, which shouldn't be difficult for you."
Fang Yutang answered: "I know that those in our profession will keep confidentiality strictly. I will definitely not reveal anything about you and the village to anyone else."
"No, that's not right." Grandma Hua shook her head, "If others have never asked you, you are not allowed to say a word about us. But if someone asks you, you must tell him everything in detail."
This was the first time Fang Yutang had heard of this request, but he still agreed.
The moment Fang Yutang collected the "travel expenses" and stepped out of Granny Hua's house, Granny Hua knew that he would definitely accept her commission.
Looking at his retreating back, Granny Hua let out a few strange crow-like laughs from her throat.
"Haha, another one, another one..."
"This is all the information I know." Fang Yutang said truthfully, "The useful part is not much, you can listen to most of it as a story."
Chu Yao nodded. In fact, the information that Fang Yutang thought was invalid was really useful.
She opened her computer's browser and was about to enter the URL when she was suddenly stunned.
The time and space she is currently in is more than three years earlier than the original one. It is the "past". If she told Fang Yutang everything, then why would the ghost transformed by Meyer still appear?
It was because the puppet statue was hidden away by Ross Lee as an expensive collectible, so he didn't get the puppet.
Or maybe something happened to Fang Yutang, which prevented him from telling Granny Hua the truth.
But whether she said it or not, the future outcome was already determined.
She entered two URLs, one was the social account homepage of the Valentine family, and the other was the local police announcement website of the Valentine family.
"Is this Samuel Valentine's account?" Fang Yutang asked while flipping through it.
He noticed a photo of a family gathering, in which Mr. and Mrs. Valentine and their daughter and son were smiling. The bottle of puppets was placed on a display cabinet not far away.
Chu Yao said: "Samuel also had a sister named Meyer Valentine. She was the daughter adopted by the Valentine couple. She died due to abuse when she was seventeen years old. I guess the puppet should be her legacy. "
Fang Yutang browsed the second photo in detail. Suddenly, he pointed to the place under the bed and said, "Look here, is that the puppet statue?"
He was right. Just below Meyer's hanging arm, there was the corner of a brown object.
Due to the amount of junk in the room, the puppet is not easily noticeable and looks like a small patch of shadow under the bed.
Fang Yutang said quickly: "So, this girl named Meyer is from Granny Hua Village. She lived overseas and was adopted by the Valentine couple. But later she was abused by them and died, and her brother took it away. Her belongings were sold to the man named Wang at the auction."
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Ever since he accepted the commission, he had no clue.
Tonight, more than half of the puzzle was solved directly. This kind of excitement is something ordinary people can't understand.
"That's right, I also know another thing. The puppet statue should not be in the hands of Mr. Wang." Chu Yao said bluntly, "It is in the personal exhibition hall of a collector named Ross Lee. "
"Impossible." Fang Yutang frowned, "Ross Lee, I have heard of his name. He is one of the most famous bankers in the Chinese-American circle. But before this auction, he had already died."
There is a rule in Ross Lee's exhibitions. In order to ensure the value of the collection, only various cultural relics collected by him will be displayed.
And he had no public heirs. After his death, the exhibition was directly handled by the company.
No one has the right to fill his exhibition with one more product, and there is no benefit in doing so.
Fang Yutang pondered for a moment and then said: "However, I will also investigate in the direction you mentioned."
We have almost finished talking about what should be talked about, and Chu Yao is ready to start thinking about his own business.
There were three choices before her.
First, she was transported while sleeping. Maybe if she slept again, she would return to her original world.
The operation difficulty of this option is very low, and there is no risk. The disadvantage is that the success rate is not high.
Because she didn't know the mechanism by which she was transported, sleeping on it was a fluke idea like buying a lottery ticket.
Second, since the world has not changed, she does not need to consider going back.
Although she has no money now, it does not mean that she has no ability to make money. All she needs to do is to get a new ID card and return to her old business.
However, who can guarantee that there is not another Chu Yao in this world? What will happen if they meet?
Chu Yao didn't know the answer to the question, so she wouldn't take the risk.
Third, since it was teleported in the inn, it must have something to do with the inn.
If she can't find any clues in the inn, she has a "clumsy way".
