"I sent someone to investigate the health center where you were born. There's an old man guarding the door. He's an honest man, and apparently, he worked at the health center for ten years. Later, his niece took him to the south to retire. He just came back to Dong Tao Town a few days ago. I checked the address and information, and I think it might be useful," Qin Chu said slowly.
Huo Mien was in a great mood, and she immediately grabbed Qin Chu's hand and walked out …
"Let's not waste any time, let's go."
Downstairs, Huo Mien was confused when she saw Qin Chu get into the Volkswagen CC. "We're not driving the Maybach?"
Wasn't the Maybach faster?
"Get in first, I'll explain." Qin Chu looked at her.
Huo Mien understood what he meant. She sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. Then, the car slowly drove out of Imperial Park.
"Because I think there's something fishy about your case. Someone might be trying to sabotage you, so I think we should keep a low profile. Dong Tao Town has a population of less than fifty thousand, and it's not very developed. Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs are rare, so I think the Maybach would be too eye-catching."
"You're so thoughtful, I was too impatient …" Huo Mien felt a chill run down her spine after hearing what Qin Chu said.
Perhaps she was too desperate to find her family, so she neglected a lot of things.
Qin Chu already said last time that a lot of useful clues and people had mysteriously disappeared or died.
Even the archive was burned down by a fire, so she didn't think it was a coincidence.
It was very likely that there was a mastermind behind all of this, so the investigation in Dong Tao Town couldn't be too big of a deal.
First of all, they had to keep a low profile …
The Volkswagen CC wasn't slow, so the two didn't take the highway. Instead, they took the road and arrived at Dong Tao Town in less than two hours.
By the time they arrived, the sky was already dark …
The town wasn't like the city, where lights were always on after dark.
Because of the small population, the few businesses in town all turned off their lights early.
"Are we going directly to that old man's house?" Huo Mien asked nervously.
"Yes."
After making several turns, Qin Chu slowly stopped the car at a bungalow area at the edge of the town.
"We're here."
"Which house?" Huo Mien asked as he looked at the dark house in front of him.
"The second from the bottom in the last row."
Huo Mien looked over according to Qin Chu's words and saw a very old house. It was the kind of house that was built with mud bricks. Nowadays, very few people still lived in such houses.
The two of them walked on a muddy dirt road and finally arrived at the house.
It was already past seven o 'clock. Seven o' clock in autumn was already considered dark in the north.
The lights in the surrounding houses were on, but this one was not. It was dark inside, and it looked a little creepy.
"Something's not right. Be careful of us," Huo Mien whispered to Qin Chu, feeling that something was wrong.
"Okay, you wait here. I'll go knock on the door."
"No, I'll go with you," Huo Mien was still worried and didn't want to wait here. Instead, she grabbed Qin Chu's hand tightly.
She wasn't a timid person. When she was in medical school, she could dissect a corpse by herself without feeling anything.
In the hospital, she could push a corpse to the morgue by herself, but this time, it was different. It was a very ominous feeling.
Seeing that Huo Mien didn't want to go with him, Qin Chu had no choice but to take her to the shabby door.
Bang, bang, bang … Qin Chu knocked on the door three times with a lot of force. If there was anyone inside, they would've heard it.
Meow, meow, meow … A black cat suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
Huo Mien was so scared that she immediately hugged Qin Chu tightly …
"Don't be scared …"
"Excuse me, is Mr. Yang home?" Qin Chu knocked on the door again and shouted inside.
