I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats-Chapter 223 - 181 Ghost Hand’s Special Ability
Surrounding him, there were also many others kneeling.
They were all dressed in coarse hemp and wore mourning bands.
Whenever a guest arrived to pay their respects, they would bow to thank them, and then kowtow to the coffin.
Among the crowd, three middle-aged men were crying bitterly; clearly, they were the sons of the deceased.
"Ring, ring, ring~~!" Just then, Zhou Liulong's phone rang.
In an instant, all eyes around him turned to Zhou Liulong.
He pulled out his phone, ready to hang up the call, but when he saw it was Mei Xizi calling, he realized it must be about the results concerning the Contractor's mischief.
"Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I'll take a call."
Zhou Liulong spoke in a deep voice.
"Go ahead, work is important, and you've been kneeling for the whole day; take a rest," Zhou Qi wiped a tear and nodded.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle didn't say anything; they also understood that Zhou Liulong worked in a government unit, supervising dozens of people with significant authority.
Zhou Liulong walked to the backyard and answered the call.
"Mei Xizi, how did it go?" Zhou Liulong asked.
"Chief Zhou, we've caught the person, the same Liu Yi we encountered before in Dao County."
"This Liu Yi is unbelievably audacious, actually attacking our department. Many of our colleagues were injured, and Xiao Han... Xiao Han was also sacrificed," Mei Xizi reported.
"What? Him? How dare he attack the department? And Xiao Han..." Zhou Liulong's rage surged instantly.
"Liu Yi did it to seize that Level 6 item, Lock's Homemade Revolver. Thankfully, the people from Changsha Headquarters helped out a lot; otherwise, he would've actually gotten away with it," Mei Xizi continued.
Zhou Liulong was about to respond when suddenly something occurred to him, and his expression changed, "Now, immediately interrogate that guy and ask him if my grandmother's death was because of him."
Mei Xizi was slightly startled upon hearing this, "Alright, Chief Zhou, I will interrogate him right away."
"Also, ask Liu Yi more about... never mind, I will come back and interrogate him tomorrow."
...
After hanging up, Zhou Liulong's face was grim with dread.
His grandmother, although eighty-one years old, had been in robust health, even maintaining a vegetable garden in the backyard and watering it every day.
A few days ago, she had fallen in the garden, but before reaching the hospital, she had already passed away.
He knew that even robust elders, when they start declining, it often begins with a fall.
But the ninety-year-old neighbor fell down the stairs and still managed to hold on for a month before dying in the hospital.
His grandma had fallen on flat ground without even a stone in sight, merely on the soft soil where vegetables were planted.
He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he thought about it, it felt suspicious everywhere.
"Trying to distract me by killing my grandma?" Zhou Liulong couldn't help but speculate with malice.
He had been a left-behind child, raised by his grandmother, so his feelings for her were deep.
If it really was as he suspected, Zhou Liulong was determined to make Liu Yi suffer the most agonizing death possible in this world.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Liulong returned to the memorial hall and continued to kneel before the coffin.
...
Yong City governmental department.
At this moment, police had cordoned off the entrance, not allowing the curious crowd to get close.
One ambulance had just taken some of the wounded to the hospital, and another ambulance was leaving with a body covered with a white cloth.

Inside an interrogation room.
Mu Rufeng, Mei Xizi, and Wu Peng were gathered around a chair.
Sitting on the chair was Liu Yi, the culprit behind this chaos.
Liu Yi was still wrapped in bandages, revealing only his head, completely immobile.
"Liu Yi, did you do something to our Chief Zhou's grandma?" Mei Xizi asked.
Liu Yi turned a deaf ear, his eyes tightly shut, as if he were asleep.
"Liu Yi, I'm talking to you," Wu Peng barked.
Still, the guy gave no reaction at all.
Immediately, Wu Peng slapped Liu Yi in the face.
There was a crisp "smack!," and Liu Yi's cheek swelled visibly red in an instant.
However, Liu Yi didn't even grunt, as if he felt no pain at all.
Seeing this, Mei Xizi lifted his hand, pulling apart the bandages on Liu Yi's shoulder, and pressed down on it.
In the next second, the sound of nibbling began.
The previously expressionless Liu Yi's face twisted instantly.
"Mmm!" Liu Yi bit his teeth, silent, but he couldn't help but let out a faint moan.
Mei Xizi lifted his hand, and Mu Rufeng watched intently as Mei Xizi's palm, to their astonishment, was covered with tiny spikes.
The spikes slowly retracted as Mei Xizi raised his hand.
Looking at Liu Yi's shoulder, a large patch of flesh had disappeared, even the bone visible.
The bone, too, bore tiny marks.
"You're a tough nut to crack, but I have all the time in the world to deal with you."
"Forgot to tell you, this bandage can heal wounds," Mei Xizi said indifferently, and then covered the area with the bandage again.
Then, he moved on to another spot and continued the interrogation.
Before long, many parts of Liu Yi's body had been nibbled down to the flesh.
Yet even as Liu Yi's forehead veins bulged and his face twisted, he still stubbornly remained silent.
It was hard to imagine that before, just the threat of pulling out his teeth from Mu Rufeng had been enough to silence him, yet now he remained so defiant.
