“But…”
Tianye Mu directly interrupted him, “Please don’t forget, you’re not alone now. Think about your boy. Keep safe and no more troubles, OK?”
Kerry Ye’ s chaotic brain was hit by the word “boy”, reminding him of the cute face. John called this morning and told Kerry that the baby kept calling “Mom”.
When Tianye saw that he had calmed down a bit, he said to Henry, “Keep an eye on him and I’ll go down to see what’s going on.
“Mr. Mu, let me go with you,” said Henry.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” He shouted, who was about to be pissed off by the two.
Henry lowered his head down, not daring to say anything more.
Kerry took a deep breath and said, “You and Henry go down together, so that you can take care of each other. I know what I should do.”
Tianye gave him a glance and nodded.
The two of them took off their shirts and shoes and jumped into the river without hesitation. It was already late autumn, so the water was cold and piercing. There were also waves, making Henry shiver as soon as he jumped in.
Due to the impact of the running water, a three-meter-deep pond was washed out below the waterfall. Tianye returned to the pond again and again against the pounding of the waves.
After dozens of times, which took them almost more than half an hour, Tianye and Henry had searched all over the bottom of the waterfall, but they got nothing.
Wait, what was that?
Henry saw a white canvas shoe wrapped in a vine near the shore, so he swam over and pulled it out.
The size of the shoe was thirty-seven. It was a simple style, not expensive and probably less than a hundred yuan.
“Is this the same one that Venus wore in the morning?” Kerry asked Mr. Cai.
He nodded after looking closer, “Yes, it is. That day after leaving the hotel, Alisa went to buy the clothes and shoes, but the size was too big, and I remember Alisa even went to change them once.”
This was the last thing that Kerry wanted to hear.
At this time, Tianye still remained calm. He put on his clothes and looked at the river flowing into the distance and said, “I didn’t find her under the waterfall, so she should have been washed away by water. Henry, tell all our men to come. Search along the river.”
“I see.” Henry put on his clothes and went to make a phone call.
Mr. Cai sat on the rock next to him and sighed inwardly. He didn’t expect Venus to take the leap, but he was sure that she wouldn’t end well, for he occasionally overheard the conversation between Gavin and Heng Zhang.
Gavin warned Heng Zhang not to touch Venus for the time being. After finding the treasure, he could do whatever he wanted.
Mr. Cai didn’t know the grudge between Heng Zhang and Venus, but judging from his attitude, he could tell that he really wanted to see Venus die. Perhaps Venus also knew this, and that’s why she resolutely jumped down.
“Do you guys still need me? Can I go now?” Mr. Cai asked with courage, “After tossing around for so long, they still got nothing. Maybe it’s time for him to go home.
Getting closer, he found a swollen corpse lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth. A stench of decay wafted in the air.
Kerry clenched his hands and this almost freaked him out. He had the urge to go up and uncover the white cloth to see the face, but he didn’t have any confidence to do so. He’s afraid it was Venus.
While he was struggling, he heard Tianye ask the villagers around him in an extremely low voice, “Excuse me, may I know who is that?”
The villagers looked at them, thinking they were from other places and whispered, “We don’t know either. She was floating down the river this afternoon and the body was soaked up, very scary. We can’t know her original face, but it was a woman.”
Tianye gasped, “How do you know it’s a woman?”
“The hair is long, so it’s a woman, I think.”
Tianye went blank and he turned around to look at Kerry, whose facial muscles were twitching as he tried to control his emotions.
“I’m going to ask the police.” Tianye actually was reluctant to do so, but he had to figure out it was his sister or not.
The police were taking evidence and when they saw him come, one of them stopped him, “Excuse me, sir, don’t get close to the body.”
“Hello, my sister accidentally fell into the river a few days ago, and we’ve been looking for her, so I wanted to take a look at…” Tianye didn’t finish his words, but the police already understood what he meant.
“Ah, well. We are also having the difficulty to find the family of the deceased. Come and see if she is your sister.” The policeman went forward to remove the white cloth, but Tianye take a step backward. They thought he was afraid, so he nicely reminded him, “I need to tell you that it may be a little scary. After all, the corpse has been soaking for a long time.”
