It turned out that Zhao Yu had come all the way to Bai Ling to investigate Cui Lizhu's background and look for clues about the Headless Female Corpses Case and the Gem Theft Case.
In fact, he had another main purpose, which was to look for Cui Lizhu's parents' graves. To be precise, he was looking for Cui Lizhu's mother, Du Manting's grave!
It turned out that everything had started from the side quest that Zhao Yu had encountered the day before.
The day before, the side quest had led him to a funeral in a graveyard, where he had met a gold-digging bitch.
Originally, it didn't seem to be anything special. After Zhao Yu scared the bitch away, he didn't think much of it.
However, when Zhao Yu looked through the case information again and again, he suddenly made an important discovery. But in Cui Lizhu's memory record, there was such a message.
Cui Lizhu said that before Tao Xiang had his accident, he had said to her, "My child, when I die, you must bury me with your mother!"
At that time, Cui Lizhu was curious, so she asked Tao Xiang, "My mother ran away with someone else, so where can I find her?" However, after Tao Xiang heard this, he didn't say anything else.
At that time, Cui Lizhu didn't take it to heart. She thought that it was just Tao Xiang's imagination.
Later, when Tao Xiang lost his mind, he said the same thing to Cui Lizhu several times, "My child, when I die, you must bury me with your mother!"
As Cui Lizhu didn't know who her mother was, she didn't take it seriously.
But, when Tao Xiang was arrested and suspected of being the murderer of the Headless Female Corpses Case, Cui Lizhu couldn't stay calm anymore.
She immediately thought of the sentence, so she wrote it down in her memoir.
Cui Lizhu was worried that Tao Xiang really had a lover, and that the lover had been killed by him and turned into a headless female corpse. Was that why he would say such a strange thing?
Thinking of this, Cui Lizhu felt her hair stand on end. Could it be that her stepfather, who had raised her up, was really a murderous maniac?
At first, Zhao Yu thought of the same thing, just like Cui Lizhu. However, after pondering over it a few times, he realized a new meaning from it.
First of all, Tao Xiang had said those words when he was awake, so it was unlikely that he had said it casually. There had to be a deeper meaning behind it. After the accident, he repeatedly mentioned it in his delirious state, which also showed that this sentence was not nonsense, but had a certain basis.
Tao Xiang knew that Cui Lizhu wasn't his biological daughter, so he wouldn't call a woman who was related to him mother.
In the end, Zhao Yu understood a shocking piece of information from Tao Xiang's words. He wondered what would happen if Tao Xiang's words were not a lie, but the truth?
What would happen then? Did it mean that there was something wrong with Tao Xiang and Cui Lizhu's mother?
Of course, such an unreliable statement did not allow Zhao Yu to pry into more information. He could only guess. Therefore, he did not delve into it at first.
However, when Cui Lizhu's DNA comparison results came out, everything changed! This was especially so when Zhao Yu learned that Cui Lizhu's mother had died not long after she was born. He had no choice but to use the same sentence again.
This time, he had obviously obtained even more shocking information.
If Tao Xiang's words were true, wouldn't it mean that Tao Xiang and Cui Lizhu's biological mother really had a special relationship?
Could this be the case?
Tao Xiang and Cui Lizhu's mother, Du Manting, used to be a couple. At that time, Tao Xiang was still young.
However, Du Manting didn't end up with Tao Xiang. Instead, she married Cui Fangyu and gave birth to a daughter for him.
But, Tao Xiang thought that the child was his, so he stole the child.
Thinking about it again, Du Manting died in a car accident before the child was even a month old! Could there be something strange about this?
According to the accident report, Du Manting lost control of her car and crashed into a large truck, killing her on the spot.
Logically speaking, a woman who was still in her confinement period couldn't have driven out alone! Did she want to elope with Tao Xiang, or was she in a hurry to find the child because Tao Xiang had stolen her daughter?
However, what was certain was that, although Du Manting was dead, Tao Xiang was still thinking about her. Hence, he had said those words to Cui Lizhu.
When I die, bury me together with your mother!
Bury me together!
From Cui Lizhu's memoir, it could be seen that Tao Xiang had never fallen in love with another woman, due to his physiological defects.
Perhaps, in his heart, Du Manting was the only one for him! Du Manting had become one of his obsessions!
Then …
Then …
If the Tamil Star was still with Tao Xiang, would he be buried in Du Manting's grave with her?
Would he?
At first, Zhao Yu was shocked by his absurd, crazy, and even childish idea! However, this thought was engraved in his mind like a watermark, lingering for a long time.
"Bury me together with your mother …"
"Bury me together …"
This sentence seemed to have become some kind of curse, instigating all of Zhao Yu's thoughts. Back then, after Tao Xiang stole the gemstone, he took a long time to return home. Could he have gone to Du Manting's grave? Could he have hidden the gemstone in Du Manting's grave?
Moreover, at this time, Zhao Yu had encountered a funeral in the graveyard during the side adventure, and he had also heard the Impregnable Great Wall. All of this seemed to be a deliberate reminder from the system.
Especially during the analysis meeting, when Ran Tao teased Cui Lizhu and asked her why her father didn't tell them the whereabouts of the gemstone, it gave Zhao Yu even more of a wake-up call.
The reason why Tao Xiang said that to Cui Lizhu was to remind her that there was something in her mother's grave!
Hence, Zhao Yu finally made up his mind to go to Du Manting's grave in person!
Of course, Zhao Yu definitely had his own plans in mind. He didn't want to deliberately hide it from Wu Xiumin and the others, but his idea was too strange. He was afraid that if he left in a high-profile manner and returned empty-handed, he would become a laughing stock.
Therefore, he found an excuse to investigate a case and went to Nanjiang alone. In this way, if he found the gemstone, it would be amazing, but if he didn't find it, it wouldn't be embarrassing.
Because of this, when Zhao Yu got the Dui-Gen hexagram on the high-speed train, he was very excited. Gen represented the progress of the case, so what about Dui? Didn't it correspond to the return of the gemstone?
Because of this, when Cui Lizhu was anxious and felt that it was a waste of time, Zhao Yu could still be so calm! Investigating Cui Lizhu's background, looking for Ma Wenliang, and so on were just trivial matters.
He had already planned that once Zhang Jingfeng found the location of Du Manting's grave, he would immediately get rid of Cui Lizhu and go to the graveyard to look for treasures!
After all, he might dig up Du Manting's grave. Du Manting was Cui Lizhu's mother, so of course, he couldn't let Cui Lizhu know about it.
Hehehehe …
Sitting in the taxi, Zhao Yu showed the location of the graveyard to the driver. He couldn't help but laugh. If he could really find the Tamil Star, he would be famous again!
Hehehe …
Wu Fangfang, go and regret your actions. This is your retribution for despising me! You want to fight with me? You are too young!
The taxi driver saw that Zhao Yu was laughing foolishly, so he thought that Zhao Yu wasn't in his right mind. When the taxi drove into the graveyard, the driver was even more scared. He dropped the taxi driver off and quickly drove away.
Zhao Yu hummed a tune as he walked through the graveyard, looking for the location of the Cui family's ancestral grave.
The graveyard wasn't very big, and it was cold in the winter, so there wasn't much vegetation. Zhao Yu quickly noticed that there was a small electric scooter that could seat two people in front of one of the graves.
What was even stranger was that, when he got closer to the electric scooter, he heard the rustling sound of digging in front of one of the graves.
Hey?
What's going on? With a strong sense of curiosity, Zhao Yu walked over carefully. In the end, when he got closer to take a look, he was shocked!
