[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 32

Xiao Li turned back and handed the money to the man. The other person quickly took it and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he pointed to the tablet and said, "My brother is here and you continue to worship. Since you are so sincere, I know his spirit in Heaven will be gratified."

Xiao Li didn't know if this Zhang Tao would be relieved but he felt that if Zhang Tao was a ghost, the first thing he might do after coming back was to find this hapless brother.

Zhu Yiting and the others saw that the crisis had been lifted. Together with the fact that they had been discovered, they came in from the corners and the doors and pretended to bow a few times to the tablet.

Then Xiao Li looked at the younger brother and asked directly, "Did you find a black box when sorting through Mr Zhang's things?"

The moment he said this, Tao Fei glanced nervously at the man and placed her hands in her pocket, ready to pull out an Expel Ghosts charm.

"Black box?" The man raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Xiao Li. "I haven't seen it."

Xiao Li had been observing his expression. Seeing that the other person showed a doubtful look without any signs of lying, he pointed to the coffin on the side. "Have you seen your brother today?"

His topic change was too fast and too direct to Tao Fei, not to mention that this man had a temper. The other person's face changed immediately and his tone went higher. "What do you mean?"

Tao Fei saw this and tried to appease the other person, speaking softly, "He is just asking casually, don't mind it. We have a bit of friendship with your older brother and care about him..."

"Youcan't be like this in my brother's mourning hall." The more the man spoke, the angrier he became. "The point is to come and worship. Why are you being sneaky? What did you come here to do? Did the village chief ask you to come?"

Tao Fei exclaimed, "No, no, you misunderstood. We really just came to worship your big brother."

Xiao Li was blocked behind Tao Fei and sighed silently. He very naturally held out a hand to Zhu Yiting.

Zhu Yiting, "..."

He didn't want to admit it but he understood Sherlock's meaning in a second. The young man took out another 300 yuan from his pocket and smacked it onto Xiao Li's hand. He mouthed 'I have no more money' to indicate that the other person had to switch to another switch.

Xiao Li directly extended a hand past the defensive Tao Fei and placed the money in front of Zhang Tao's younger brother. This person's expression changed immediately as he took the three banknotes, his fire gone. "Well, if you have any questions, just ask. Reporters, please remember to make me look good in the report. I also want to make a recommendation. My family's dishes are good."

Tao Fei who had been thinking about how to appease Zhang Tao's brother, "..."

What type of person was this? There were many people in the world who would be suffering because of the death of their loved ones. Based on the actions of Zhang Tao's younger brother, it was obvious that he didn't belong to the former group and instead belonged to those who only saw money.

Xiao Li asked, "Do you remember how your brother died?"

"I don't know the specifics." Zhang Tao's younger brother recalled the scene at the time. "My brother and I are separated. His wife died early and I haven't married yet. I usually see him once a week. Just yesterday, I was short of hands to collect food and wanted to ask him to help. He didn't respond so I broke in and found him dead..."

He spoke up to here and his face finally showed a hint of a low mood. "We haven't had such a thing happen here for many years. I went to the village chief and he said it should be a sudden death. He urged me to hurry to bury the body and to not tell others. By the way, can you not tell others about what I said?"
