Chapter 49

Seeing this, John hesitated no longer. He broke into a dead sprint.

When he reached the amusement park entrance, he ran into Liu Ye, who was walking out. John immediately shouted in excitement, “Brother Liu, I found something out…”

Overjoyed, John quickly told him everything he knew.

“Is that so? You really worked hard,” Liu Ye said meaningfully.

In that instant, John sensed something was wrong. But before he could think any further, a sharp pain suddenly tore through his chest.

He looked down and saw a dagger buried in his chest. He staggered back two steps and stared at the person in front of him in disbelief. Then realization dawned on him.

“You’re not…”

Before he could finish, John collapsed.

“Liu Ye” came to John’s side, bent down, and pulled out the dagger. He wiped it clean with a handkerchief, then tossed the handkerchief onto John’s face. After that, he looked toward the amusement park, and his face instantly began to change.

Meanwhile, Liu Ye was sitting in a chair, sighing deeply. There was no helping it-the scene in the movie had simply been too wonderful. The feeling of having money was just too good.

Unfortunately, movies were fake in the end. If he wanted to make money, he still had to keep his feet on the ground and earn it himself!

Even so, thinking back on it now still made his heart ache a little.

Of course, what he did not know was that if he had asked for money, Liu Sibo really could have given it to him. After all, to Liu Sibo, that would have been nothing at all.

It was just that Liu Sibo felt someone as powerful as Liu Ye probably would not be interested in money, so he had not mentioned it.

Instead, he had given him something that, in Liu Sibo’s own opinion, Liu Ye would very much need in this game. The only thing was, Liu Ye would have to retrieve it himself.

Liu Ye himself was not all that interested in Liu Sibo’s thing. He was merely a little curious about what Liu Sibo had given him.

So he hoisted Fu Yang onto his back and strapped him to himself.

Although, during the process, there was another burst of crisp crack, crack sounds.

But by now, both Liu Ye and Fu Yang had already gotten used to it. Fu Yang even had time to wonder: This time, the sound wasn’t as crisp as before. Could it be that his bones had evolved?

Following Liu Sibo’s directions, Liu Ye arrived at the Ferris wheel in the amusement park. Directly beneath the Ferris wheel was a hidden door.

He stepped closer, took out the key Liu Sibo had given him, and opened the hidden door, revealing a pitch-black passageway.

The moment Fu Yang saw that passageway, however, fear suddenly welled up inside him. It was as if some terrifying thing existed within.

But just as that feeling rose, Liu Ye’s image appeared in his mind once more, and that sense of fear instantly shifted targets.

The memories that had been about to surface also vanished without a trace.

Fu Yang: “…”

Liu Ye went down the stairs and arrived in an extremely spacious room. The instant he entered, a musty smell rushed into his nose.

Fu Yang nearly passed out from the stench. Liu Ye, on the other hand, found it tolerable. After all, back in his village, there were plenty of places that smelled even worse than this.

For example, when he was little, he had a friend whose body always gave off a strange odor.

Because of that, no one liked getting close to him. As the village’s fatally enthusiastic do-gooder, how could Liu Ye possibly just stand by and let that continue?

So he took the initiative to bring him to take a bath. At the time, Liu Ye had used every ounce of strength he had to scrub him down. He really went at it, and it exhausted him completely.

He did not even know when the other person left.

The only thing that saddened him was that after that day, he never saw that friend again. Supposedly, he had gone to the city. Liu Ye wondered if he would ever see him again.
In short, the smell actually gave him a sense of nostalgia.

He casually picked up the notebook by the door, tore out a page, and wiped his nose with it.

Looking farther inside, he discovered that the room was filled with all kinds of torture instruments.

They were all stained with blood that had already turned black, but judging from the rust on them, these things did not seem to be used very often.

On a table at the very back sat a box. A huge X had been drawn across its surface.

Several yellowed slips of paper lay around the box as well. They were so old and so poorly preserved that they would probably crumble at the slightest touch.

By this point, Fu Yang was nearly dumbstruck. In an instant, the memories in his mind came rushing back.

He remembered this place. He had been here before. Seven years ago-seven years ago, he had come here with Zhao Ze and the others.

Yes, that was right. He remembered now. There had been seven people in total. Besides the six of them, there had also been one more person… Liu, Liu, Liu Sibo!!!

In the end, Fu Yang shouted the name out loud. Then, as if in response to him, a corpse appeared before their eyes.

“Aaaah!!!”

Fu Yang thrashed violently behind Liu Ye. Strangely enough, his body, which had been severely injured before, could now move again.

He clutched his head with both hands, snot and tears streaming down his face.

“We… we killed him!!! How could this happen? Why would I do something like that?!” Fu Yang wailed.

Aside from a certain amount of guilt, what he felt more than anything was fear. Fear that his own status would be affected because of this.

After all, he was a huge star. If word got out that he had killed someone, his life would be over.

Liu Ye was also quite surprised to hear this.

However, he was not afraid. Instead, he put Fu Yang down and asked curiously, “Can you tell me exactly what happened?”

Fu Yang wiped his tears and then began.

“Back then…”

What he described was more or less the same as what Huang Shiya had said. They had discovered Liu Sibo, found out he had poisoned them, captured him, and then started punishing him.

“So you’re saying you killed him seven years ago?”

“Yes,” Fu Yang said with a nod.

Liu Ye had never expected that he would uncover a criminal case just by going out to work a job!

But then he suddenly grew excited. This… wasn’t this exactly like those detective stories they told on the radio? He was Bao Longtu! Yes, if he was Bao Zheng, then what he should do now was… examine the corpse!

He immediately went over to the body and inspected it with a very convincing air. Then… mm. He couldn’t see anything at all.

“That shouldn’t be right. The radio said you can find clues just by examining the body!”

Liu Ye muttered in confusion. He turned the corpse over and over. Then, because he wasn’t paying attention, he knocked it down. There was a crisp crack, and the corpse shattered into pieces.

Liu Ye: “…”

Fu Yang: “…”

No, seriously, the person involved was standing right there. If you wanted to know something, couldn’t you just ask him directly? The guy was already dead. Why torture him too?

“Good! I see it now. The killer wasn’t you! The real culprit is someone else!” Liu Ye said with a cold laugh.

At the same time, that familiar music seemed to ring in his ears.
