Chapter 59: Righteous Intervention, Hidden Merit and Fame
T City West Railway Station
It was not travel peak season, and the station hall was not crowded. A glance showed that most of the seats were empty.
Min Yiyuan and her mother were leaning against each other as they slept, their young faces filled with exhaustion.
The mother beside her had her backpack hanging in front of her chest, arms wrapped around it as she slept, her eyes swollen from crying.
Since receiving the news of Min Yizhou’s death until now, the mother had cried countless times. Min Yiyuan had even taken leave from school to accompany her mother on the long train journey.
To save money, they had bought the rare green train ticket.
They arrived in T City in the middle of the night, feeling as if their bones had fallen apart, and the nausea had still not subsided.
They could not afford a hotel nearby, so the mother and daughter had to make do sleeping in the station hall for one night, planning to take the subway the next day to X University, where Min Yizhou studied.
They were sleeping very deeply and were completely unaware of their surroundings.
At this moment, a man with a simple and honest appearance sat down next to Min Yiyuan, holding his phone as if reading a novel.
After a while, taking advantage of the lack of attention around him, he secretly reached his hand toward Min Yiyuan in front of her.
Before his fingertips could touch the target, a strange icy coldness shot up from the soles of his feet straight into his brain.
He shivered from the cold, and the sleeping Min Yiyuan was also awakened by it.
“Ahhhhhh—”
Seeing this scene, Min Yiyuan screamed in terror, alerting passengers waiting nearby.
“Catch the pervert thief!”
Terrified, Min Yiyuan grabbed her luggage and smashed it at the man. Other passengers quickly reacted and swarmed forward, instantly catching the man who was trying to escape.
“Beat him to death~~~ ooo—”
“Beat him to death~~~ ooo—”
The man was forced to his knees on the ground, his hands twisted behind his back, pressed down so hard he could not even lift his head.
Min Yiyuan’s face turned pale, but thinking of what she had just seen, she was filled with rage and lost all rationality, kicking the man twice hard.
“You tried to steal from me and grope me, why don’t you just die!”
Min Yiyuan’s mother also woke up. After learning what had just happened, she was filled with lingering fear.
After the fear came the thought of her dead son, and she broke down into uncontrollable sobs.
The uninformed passengers did not feel sympathy at all.
Even this honest and pitiful rural woman was bullied like this, he truly deserved to be beaten to death!
The man was still like a broken recorder, repeatedly singing in a drawn-out voice, “Beat him to death~~~ ooo—”
Station police arrived, and after a chaotic scene the situation was finally calmed. The man was taken to a nearby police station.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried again.
While crying, Min Yiyuan noticed that an empty space suddenly had a courier box appear out of nowhere.
She gasped mid sob in shock.
When she clearly saw the sender and recipient information, she felt a chill run through her entire body.
“Girl, what is this?”
Her mother saw her pick up the courier box and thought it had been dropped by someone else, telling her not to pick it up.
They should not take other people’s things. The owner would be worried!
“Mom… it is not… this is sent by my brother…”
The recipient names were hers and her mother’s, and the sender was Min Yizhou. It had also appeared out of thin air, making even her, who did not believe in ghosts, start to question reality.
“Your brother? Yizhou’s?”
Hearing this, the mother could not hold back. She snatched the box and tore it open before Min Yiyuan could stop her.
“Mom, calm down, this might not be sent by brother, this…”
The courier box was very light. Inside was only a sheet of grid paper torn from a notebook, with strange blue pen scribbles drawn on it.
At this sight, Min Yiyuan’s hair stood on end.
But her mother, holding the paper, suddenly burst into tears again, even more violently than before.
“Mom, what is wrong?” Min Yiyuan asked.
Her mother held the paper in one hand and grabbed her daughter’s hand with the other, muttering continuously.
“Girl, your brother’s voice, your brother’s!”
Her brother’s?
Suppressing her fear, Min Yiyuan touched the paper. Immediately, her ear heard her brother Min Yizhou’s voice.
The mother and daughter listened to the recording on the Condensing Sound Talisman again and again, crying and laughing at the same time.
Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise their behavior might have made others think they were insane.
“So… that means… just now… was my brother protecting me?”
She had been sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a piercing chill that forced her awake, allowing her to catch the man in the act.
Without that warning, she would not only have been assaulted, but also robbed of her belongings.
Thinking of that scene, Min Yiyuan could not help but shiver.
As for this, the Black Impermanence who did good deeds without leaving his name flicked his sleeves, hiding his merit and fame.
He then delivered another package to Zhu Yang’s parents.
When the courier arrived, Zhu Yang’s father was getting up at night to urinate. On his way back to the room, he stepped on a suddenly appearing courier box and was so frightened that all his sleepiness vanished.
Ten minutes later, he and Zhu Yang’s mother were also hugging each other and crying loudly, which in turn made their youngest daughter in a nearby crib cry loudly as well.
The death of their son had been a knot in their hearts for three years.
They had always believed their son was murdered, such as in the increasingly frequent “roommate murder cases” reported online in recent years, and had never given up searching for the truth.
Suddenly hearing their son’s voice and explanation, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell away.
After crying, Zhu Yang’s mother could not help but scold her son.
There was no way such a reckless troublemaking kid could have been born by her.
“Tomorrow we will go to the school to see him. I thought Yang Yang was really gone, but it is good that he is still here.”
After scolding him, Zhu Yang’s mother cried again, though not as painfully as before.
Knowing their son was still in this world, only in another form, they felt at peace.
There were ghosts in this world, and also truly powerful masters. They could seek help from those masters and see their son again!
Officer Tang had not slept all night because of Min Yizhou’s case.
Before dawn, he was told by the principal that the case had been resolved and that Min Yizhou had died from an accidental fall.
Officer Tang: “……”
A university principal also solves cases now?
After learning the inside story, Officer Tang felt as if he had been kicked by a thousand huskies.
The principal also felt emotional, though he was even more emotional about the fact that the former principal had been unfairly removed from office.
However, if the former had not been removed, he would not have become the current one.
“Officer, how should we close this case?”
After all, the investigation involved supernatural and feudal matters, making it difficult to write the report.
Officer Tang was very experienced in this and was not worried about that, but before closing the case he wanted to personally see Min Yizhou and Zhu Yang and ask a few questions.
Soon, the families of the two deceased arrived one after another.
Both families met, sitting in the principal’s office, looking at each other in silence.
When Pei Ye arrived, everyone unanimously looked at her, and she instantly became the center of attention.
“Summoning a deceased person costs 2,000 per appearance, and opening a living person’s vision costs 500. Thank you for your patronage!”
Zhu Yang’s family could afford it, but Min Yizhou’s mother and sister were in financial difficulty and could not produce the money.
Looking at the mother and daughter’s anxious, nearly crying expressions, the principal sighed and helped pay for them.
Although Min Yizhou had died in an accident, the school still needed to provide some compensation for humanitarian reasons, also to suppress public opinion and protect the school’s reputation.
Compared to that, a few thousand was nothing.
