Postmortem Appointment - C98

Lin Nian passed old man Hong’s heart to him and then calmly said.

Qin San took the letter and looked at the envelope carefully. In fact, there was nothing on the envelope. Then, I saw a line of words flash across his eyes: “Ugh, he must be here to cause trouble for me again!”

I laughed coldly in my heart, if he insisted on saying it, then we would be the ones who gave him trouble, after all, the evil ghost we were looking for was definitely not an ordinary one, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to kill so many people without having the Netherworld finding out, still able to stay in the mortal world, and even understand Taoism Arts. It would be easy to kill one person, but it wouldn’t be easy to make the person who was killed think that I am the murderer.

After he finished reading, he shook his head helplessly and said, “I knew that this old man Hong was trying to trick me again. Do you think that I have such a small matter? I’ve worked so hard in the Underworld for so many years and he still wants to cheat me? My life is truly pitiful!”

Bai Hua and I looked at each other, and at the same time, we saw two words in each other’s eyes: “Interesting!”

“A hundred million to help us investigate that ghost’s origins!” Bai Hua also knew that this guy saying too much was nonsense, because they were a group that only knew how to talk about money.

After Qin San heard Bai Hua’s words, she completely ignored us and continued to cry poor, even as she cried. Unfortunately, ghosts don’t have tears, and not only is his appearance not pitiful at all, he looks extremely comical.

However, we all know his reason for pretending to cry, so Bai Hua bluntly said, “300 million, that should be enough, right?!”

“Do you think it’s easy for me to do that? Last month, my new wife reincarnated, and I’m now single. I’m completely alone, I don’t even have any money to continue …”

“One billion, are you f * cking done yet? If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll send you to see your wife right now!?”

Bai Hua finally could not take it anymore, and slammed one billion underworld coins on the table, then coldly roared at Qin San.

Qin San looked at the billion man sitting on the table, his eyes gleaming. A lewd smile was plastered across his face, and his saliva was about to come out from his mouth.

He lightly coughed twice, tidied up his collar, smiled and said, “Please wait a moment, I will go and bring his documents over to you. You can rest assured that I will do what I have done!”

After saying that, he pulled on a pair of tattered cloth shoes that were covering his toes and scurried into the room. Bai Hua and I sat outside the hall and waited in boredom. There were a few times when I wanted to go to the back to take a look, but we were all held down by Bai Hua.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qin San finally returned with a pile of rice paper. He placed a pile of paper in front of me and reached out to take the billion.

He looked at it in surprise, but it didn’t show any sign of weakness. I took the opportunity to take a closer look at the paper and realized that it wasn’t a ghost at all, but a human being. He was not a normal human being, but a monster that had lived for more than three hundred years!

“Is this information of yours true? We spent 100 million!” I stood up excitedly and grabbed Qin San by the collar as I shouted.

“You can’t say it like that, you better not go out and ask. Is it the first day that I, Qin San, am on this street? Business is about credibility. Although I want money, I have never been vague about it, so you should take your time! ”

After Qin San heard what I said, he immediately put away the evil merchant’s smile and coldly said.

The corner of my mouth twitched. Originally, I wanted to continue arguing with him, but I heard Bai Hua say coldly from the side: “Zhang Yu, don’t worry, the person who wants to kill you, might really be a human being. Although I don’t know his goal, I do know his strength.

I was stunned, but just then, Qin San broke free from my hands, returning back to his previous smiling face, and walked up to Bai Hua and said apologetically: “This lady has eyes, then can I take the money previously?”

“Zhang Yu, we don’t have much time left, we need to hurry back!”

After Bai Hua finished speaking, she took a pile of papers and walked towards the door. I hastily followed her, and asked in astonishment: “A person who has lived for over three hundred years, what grudge could she have with me? This doesn’t make sense, such a crappy lie, you actually believed it!”

When I thought about these things, I got angry. I just couldn’t help but feel that this Qin San was very unreliable.

“It might not be a lifetime, perhaps you had some unhappy encounters with him in your previous life, this is all possible, everything in the world has to chase after the cause and effect, since we’ve already found the result, why not use the reason, isn’t it easier that way?”

After Bai Hua heard my words, she chuckled, and then gave me the pair of papers, and took only one of them, and started reading as she walked.

I sighed. Since she insisted on believing that the tease called Qin San was not trying to trick us, then I had nothing to say to that. Thus, I looked for one of the photos myself to take a closer look.

This guy is called Zhang Qian, which is the same name as an ancient famous person. During the Qing Dynasty, Fang Shi, he used to train in Penglai, but because he trained in forbidden techniques, he was chased down the mountain by Penglai. From then on, he started his life of working for money, and this guy also had many nobles to refine pills.

I once read some random books, and it was indeed recorded that in ancient times, many rich people hoped to live forever, so they often take some pills, but not only did these not let them live forever, on the contrary, it even contained some heavy metals, so the result was that many nobles ate until they died. This was also a matter of ridicule.

But in the end, what surprised me was that this Demonic Taoist called Zhang Qian did not use heavy metals to concoct pills, but infants. Furthermore, he had just become a young child, and it was said that this pill had flourished in the Qing Dynasty before. Naturally, this pill would be found amongst the nobility, but these things would not be recorded in the history of the kingdom.

Later on, this fella was hunted down by a group of orthodox Taoists and disappeared for a hundred years before reappearing again during the Republic of China period. He began to search for that group of names, but strangely, there were no clear records.

Seeing this, a thought suddenly flashed across my mind. According to Bai Hua, I might really have a grudge with him in my previous life, thus why she would go all out to kill me.
