Chapter 70: Sudden Death from Disease, Non-Homicide
The mother and her two sons stared at the shop outside. Where was the car waiting to be repaired?
This secret room is where the owner of the repair shop gives stolen cars a makeover. There is a lot of car paint on three walls, making it look like a storage room. But if you look carefully, you can find out that this is actually a modification room. Many stolen cars went missing from here.
This is their family’s way of making extra money.
Once Ye Na's brand new motorcycle is modified and sold, it can be sold at a minimum 30% discount. First of all, it is a new car, and secondly, it has an awakened license plate.
Stealing a brand new motorcycle belonging to an awakened person is an ultimate sense of accomplishment.
There are people in the circle who specifically collect cars with this kind of license plate just to do bad things. It is considered good enough if they just throw them away after using them. There are also people who use this as a means to discredit people's reputation. They steal the car of someone they have a conflict with, and find a time when the other party has little time to prove himself, use the car to do bad things, and then post short articles online to trigger cyber violence, which can lead to social death in an instant.
Don't think that you can't do it. If you really want to harm someone, you can do anything.
Especially now that there are so many awakened people, most of them are low-level awakened people with poor abilities who are willing to do things for money. As long as they succeed, they will become addicted to it until one day they hit a big iron wall that will end their lives.
"What should we do? We called the police and reported three people, and there were so many neighbors who saw it. It would be too late to throw away the body."
"What can I do? I can only bite the bullet and deny knowing this person. When someone pushed you, you just rushed forward and left me behind. Now that you've gotten into trouble, you ask me what to do."
The boss lady was so angry that she yelled at him, but she really had no other excuse except to deny that she was the car thief.
"The police will be here soon. If you ask, just tell them that the repair shop has always been run by your father and eldest brother. You are still young, and your father doesn't want the whole family to rely on the repair shop for a living. He wants you to learn other skills. Do you understand? Don't say that anymore. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it. I heard it."
"Don't worry, mom. We are indeed learning different skills. It's the truth. We won't say anything nonsense."
"Alas, now that your father and eldest brother are gone, you are the pillar of the family, second son. You should learn to be smarter."
"Okay mom."
Originally, the family had a shrewd father and eldest brother who protected them from all kinds of hardships and brought money into the family by various means, and the three sons could develop freely. Now the second son was hastily taken on as the pillar of the family. He agreed with his words, but he was completely unsure in his heart.
The police and ambulance arrived one after another, but the scene had been destroyed and no valuable traces could be found. The only thing that could be seen was that there were no signs of armed murder.
The doctor examined in a secret room and made the preliminary conclusion that all three people died suddenly due to acute illness. Of course the proprietress was very upset and said that this was impossible. But when the doctor asked her if she wanted to perform an autopsy, she refused and insisted that her husband and children were healthy and it was impossible for them to die suddenly. Someone must have harmed them.
At this time, the police interrupted and asked who might have harmed them. The proprietress could not answer, but kept crying and shouting that someone must have killed them. In the eyes of the police and doctors, this showed that she was unable to accept the facts and had an emotional breakdown, so they followed the next procedure step by step.
The family did not want an autopsy, so the ambulance left. The police wanted to verify their identities so they could issue a death certificate. Only then did they learn that only two of the three people were father and son, and the third was a stranger whom the family did not know.
Then we must find out who this third person is.
Because the proprietress was crying and unable to concentrate, the police asked her three sons to check the items in the store to rule out the possibility of theft.
The three sons couldn't tell what was in the store, but the air pump and air hose installed on the wall at the entrance were gone. Looking more closely, the air pump was hung on the wall and could be taken away by anyone with enough strength. It was very likely that someone had taken it away when so many neighbors were watching.
The proprietress, who had been crying, stopped crying when she heard about the theft. She got up and looked around the door. Then she turned around and asked her sons anxiously if they had seen the van at home.
That car is gone too.
When the police heard that a car was also lost, they made a careful note of it. However, they knew in their hearts that there was little hope of recovering it. The situation in the urban village was too complicated. If a car was lost, it could be transformed into a completely different state within a day and the original owner would not be able to recognize it.
The boss lady cried and cursed, saying that the guy who stole her gas pump and van went home with rotten hands and feet and was fucked in the ass by men every day.
During the inventory, we found that many tools were missing, scattered here and there, all small items, such as large wrenches and screw sockets. There was also an electronic screwdriver and its matching blades that we had bought just one month ago. Only three scattered blades were left outside.
There were so many people watching at the time. A large group of people came and left, and everyone touched the same thing. It was a courtesy that the shop was not emptied out in an instant.
The mess of this family kept the police busy until midnight. The neighbors who had originally returned home came out to watch the excitement. The three dead were 2+1, and no one knew the man in the "1". At most, they thought he looked familiar and might be a local resident, but they didn't know where exactly he lived.
In the complex environment of the urban village, neighbors often find everyone passing by their homes familiar, but when asked specifically, they don’t recognize any of them.
Of course Ye Na was sleeping in the hotel at this time, and she knew nothing.
After dawn, she got up, checked out and continued today's shopping, and she saw another good thing.
Agricultural four-wheel tractor.
This is also a great tool for climbing over mountains and hills. The trailer at the back can be replaced as needed, and a carriage can be attached to carry passengers.
The main reason was that Ye Nai remembered the mission in which they encountered cult members. Three out of the five vehicles broke down. If she encountered a car breakdown on the way one day, having a tractor with a carriage would be a big help.
But this requires a tractor driver's license.
Of course she doesn’t have a driver’s license, but there’s nothing wrong with buying a car first, and she doesn’t drive in the city.
So, after investigating and finding out that this was indeed one of the best brands in the country, Ye Nai haggled with the salesperson for more than two hours and bought a high-horsepower truck that could be used to open up new land in the secret realm, and six trailers of the largest size. After inspecting the goods in the warehouse, he put them all into the space in one go, scaring the salesperson so much that he uttered a soprano voice.
Then it was time to go through the formalities of paying taxes, buying insurance and registering the license plates for the tractor and six large trailers.
When the license plate was being registered, a large truck head and six trailers were released at once from the large yard at the back. The traffic control office was alarmed, and all the windows on the wall of the office building facing the yard were opened, and many people leaned out to look.
Have you ever seen a person with a large space?
