409: Chapter 409 Burial for Peace

"Lin Heng? Do you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing Lin Heng's opinion, everyone was startled for a moment. They all turned in unison to look at Lin Heng.

If it were anyone else, they probably would have left without a word, without even listening.

However...

No one could ignore Lin Heng's opinion.

Zhou Ze quickly waved his hand, signaling the others to stop.

A hint of confusion appeared on his face as he asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others also revealed a look of curiosity.

What was going on? Could it be that Lin Heng had a sudden realization and discovered something?

But...

There was nothing unusual here, was there?

Everyone was slightly stunned, frowning with a bit of confusion.

At this moment, Lin Heng's gaze was fixed on a coffin in the center of the main hall.

Seeing this look, Zhou Ze immediately understood.

Before he could speak, Lin Heng began to explain.

"Thinking about it, Uncle Wang hasn't rested in peace for a long time. Now that we've encountered this situation and everyone is gathered here, we might as well bury Uncle Wang. What do you all think?"

When these words came out, the others paused for a moment.

Good heavens!

So that was Lin Heng's idea.

And at this moment...

Little Six, who was hiding inside the coffin, felt completely unsettled.

Ah!?

Bury me?

Damn it...

You better just say that. Otherwise, when I get out, I'll dig up your entire ancestral grave!

Wang Liu gritted his teeth, his face ashen.

He glanced at the already decaying corpse next to him. Wang Liu was furious.

He had been counting on this old man to help him escape disaster, but unexpectedly, this old thing was sent by heaven to take him away!

Damn it!

After this matter passes, I must make this old thing pay!

Wang Liu cursed inwardly, defaming him in his heart.

However, Wang Liu didn't take the burial matter seriously.

After all, so many years had passed without any disturbance here, and he figured there wouldn't be any later either.

If there were going to be trouble, his own father would have been buried long ago.

Why wait until today?

Even if it really happened later, they would probably stop caring once the police left.

Heh heh...

Human nature!

Wang Liu saw human nature most clearly.

Besides, the entire coffin was surrounded by the smell of decay. Only someone like him, who crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, could endure it.

These villagers?

He just laughed inwardly.

Furthermore, the person who spoke was definitely a young man. He didn't need to worry about him at all.

Someone of low status, who couldn't really say anything significant.

Regarding this, Wang Liu didn't take any of it to heart.

He even disdained it.

...

Meanwhile...

After hearing Lin Heng's words, the expressions of the surrounding people changed.

The Village Chief's face quickly changed; he looked slightly shocked.

He lightly stroked his jaw, stroked his somewhat graying beard, and then slowly nodded.

"Oh... So that's how it is!"

"I was wondering why Lin Heng brought up Little Six's house after we finished inspecting. It turns out this is why!"

"Now I understand."

"So Lin Heng planned from the very beginning to have Old Man Wang Liu buried."

"..."

He pondered for a moment and quickly understood.

Good heavens!

When these words were spoken, the others quickly reacted.

It was this logic!

It was a wonder they didn't know why Lin Heng suddenly suggested coming to their place before!

Soon...

When they looked at Lin Heng one by one, their gazes were no longer the same as before.

Ever since the natural and man-made disasters, Old Man Wang Liu's house seemed to have turned into an unlucky dwelling. Many people dared not approach it!

Let alone burying this fellow.

Even if they were offered more money, people were unwilling!

The villagers believed more in superstitions and spirits.

If they carried someone's coffin, the outcome would surely not be good... they might be plagued by sin...

Coupled with the fact that Old Man Wang Liu's only son had disappeared completely after his mother left, never to return, this place was abandoned, and no one dared to come near it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Lin Heng brought up this matter.

They were all slightly moved.

"Ah... So Lin Heng thought of this long ago. Old Man Wang Liu's spirit in heaven must finally be at peace..."

"If Little Six were still alive and knew about this, he would surely feel very gratified, right? His father can finally rest."

"..."

At this moment, everyone silently wiped away tears, a look of relief appearing on their faces.

This way, their efforts of gathering so many people hadn't been in vain.

The crowd discussed for a while, figuring out how to bury Old Man Wang Liu.

However...

The person lying in the coffin at this very moment panicked.

Ah! Ah!?

Damn it!

Wang Liu was so angry he almost kicked the coffin lid open on the spot!

Crap!

He worked hard, exhausted all his schemes, and finally came up with such a plan, only to have it accidentally exposed by someone else??

And he heard that the guy who just spoke was actually targeting them from the beginning!

Wang Liu immediately became nervous.

What should he do now?

If he was exposed, how should he escape?

For a moment, Wang Liu's mind began to race, and many strategies started appearing in his mind.

As a top-tier swindler who managed to defraud 300 million, Wang Liu's intelligence was naturally unquestionable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape from Northern Myanmar, and even bring 300 million in funds with him!

And soon... Wang Liu did come up with a plan.

Heh heh...

Got it!

His eyeballs darted, and he quickly revealed a cruel expression.

He slightly turned his eyes towards Old Man Wang Liu beside him and chuckled.

"Old man, I know you wanted me to be a law-abiding good citizen, but... you also know that your son, me, has been different since childhood; I just love tricking and deceiving people..."

"But you can't blame me for that. Who told you, my old man, you weren't capable enough and gave me so little?"

"Then there's no other way. What I want, I can only take by my own means. As for the so-called law... we'll talk about that after I'm dead."

"Heh heh heh... But for now, I still need to borrow some things from your body... As for whether your son can successfully escape this ordeal, I'll burn paper money for you later, depending on whether you, old man, can bless me from heaven."

"..."

With that, he grabbed a handful of the rotting flesh from the other person's body and smeared it on his own face...
