C2816 Seeking the Truth(2)
"Why did you come to your house? Did you say, Young Master Hu? Don't you... have any idea?"
Faang Cheng looked at Young Master Hu with a smile.
Faang Cheng's question caused Hu Young Master's heart to skip a beat as the expression on his face turned complicated! He subconsciously took two steps back and arched his arms and legs. Faang Cheng knew all too well that this was the kind of action that people subconsciously assumed when they thought of escaping.
"Young Master Hu... We would like to see your father's body as the city patrol's case consultant. Is that all right with you?"
Yu Yien took a step forward, scaring Young Master Hu so much that he took another step back!
"I..."
Young Master Hu spoke hesitantly. He was not confident and did not dare to make a decision himself, so... He turned to look at his mother!
"Oh... Of course! Since you are the officer of the city patrol, why not take a look at my master's corpse?"
Madam Hu felt her son's cry for help, so she could only brace herself and rush up!
"But... I really don't understand. What makes you two think there is something wrong with my master's death? We don't even know what is wrong with my master's death!"
As Old Madam Hu spoke to Faang Cheng and the others with a smile, she pointed out the direction of the room where the corpse of Old Patriarch Hu was kept. Then, Madam Hu personally led Faang Cheng, Yu Yien, and Butler Hu towards the room.
At this moment... Hu Young Master, who was standing behind the three of them, saw his mother about to lead Faang Cheng and the others out of the main hall and into the room where his father's corpse was kept. He instantly understood that his mother was buying time for him to escape! Without thinking, he immediately turned and hurried towards the back door on the other side of the hall.
However, how could Faang Cheng not know what Madam Hu was trying to do? He pretended to follow Madam Hu to the room where the body of the Hu family's patriarch was kept. Just as Young Master Hu's foot was about to step out of the back door of the main hall, Faang Cheng turned around and looked in his direction.
"Where is Young Master Hu going? Aren't you coming with us to see your father?"
His voice was like a clap of thunder that exploded in Hu Young Master's ears, causing his body to tremble violently. He could only stop in his tracks and turn his head in Faang Cheng's direction with an embarrassed and shocked expression.
"I - I'm going, of course, but I've got some urgent business to attend to."
Thus, Young Master Hu could only come up with such a low lie to stall Faang Cheng and the others.
"Urgent? That's just right. I was just about to tell you where the Hu Family's private room is. Perhaps I drank too much tea and wanted to go to the private room to relieve myself!"
Hearing this, Yu Yien, who was very smart, immediately took over the conversation. Then, he turned around and walked towards Hu Young Master. It seemed like he was going to the bathroom with him to solve his physiological problem.
"You... I... I suddenly don't want to go anymore. I'm not going anymore. Young Master Yu, you can go by yourself!"
When Young Master Hu saw Yu Yien walking over in an aggressive manner, he suddenly became a little nervous and immediately said that he would not go. Then, he had no choice but to turn around and walk in the direction of Faang Cheng and Madam Hu.
"Isn't Young Master going? Then I won't go either. I don't feel so anxious now. Let's get down to business. Let's go and take a look at Old Patriarch Hu's corpse!"
Seeing that Hu Young Master had returned to Madam Hu's side, Yu Yien stopped in his tracks and turned to Hu Young Master with a smile. His actions were too obvious. He was simply watching Young Master Hu, afraid that he would run away!
Madam Hu and Young Master Hu were well aware of this, but what could they do? Since Faang Cheng and the others had already requested to see the corpse of the Old Patriarch Hu, it meant that they had already become suspicious! If they were suspicious, then everyone in the family would be under their control, especially her and her son, Young Master Hu. The two of them were probably the biggest suspects at the moment.
Madame Hu was so nervous that she took her son's trembling hand, which was already trembling.
The group walked to the door where the corpse of Old Madam Hu was kept. Madame Hu wanted to say something, but Faang Cheng did not give her the chance to argue. He pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Mrs. Hu froze. She stared at the door of the room, and something called fear seemed to gather in her face. She seemed to be afraid of the corpse in the room. She was afraid that the corpse would suddenly jump up and take her to another world.
"Madam Hu, are you afraid? The person lying in the room is your husband, who has lived with you for more than two hundred years! Why are you afraid? As far as we know, you and your wife have always been on good terms. Old Hu is a man of integrity; Why are you so afraid to see Old Master Hu when he has just passed away? "
Yu Yien stood at the door and asked softly as he stared at the frightened Old Madam Hu.
" Ah? I... I'm not afraid. I'm just sad. It is exactly because we are so close to each other that I feel so sad when I see Master's face... I feel like I can't breathe! "
Madame Hu did not lie. There was a look on her face, in addition to the fear, of sorrow and sorrow, which she could not conceal. She must have made a very difficult decision between her husband and her son.
"That's right. We have been married for so many years, and one of us has passed away. The other party who is still alive must be the saddest one! But..."
Yu Yien did not finish his sentence. Instead, he looked meaningfully at Madam Hu, then at Young Master Hu. Then, he raised his hand and waved, signaling for them to enter the room as well.
Mrs. Hu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Young Master Hu, who was standing behind her with the same terrified expression on his face. There was no other way to escape, so the two of them could only support each other and hesitantly walk into the room where the bodies of their loved ones were placed!
