Dr. Zhang spoke before Feng Qing, saying, “Then be careful.”
Feng Qing didn’t say anything more, only instructing, “If you can’t handle it, tell us. We’ll pull you up.”
“Okay.”
Bei Yutang tied the rope around her waist, the other end to a boulder, and was watched over by three people.
Bei Yutang carefully descended. Below was the surging sea, and the steep cliff edge was full of sharp rocks. She tried to avoid the sharp rocks to prevent the rope from breaking.
With her legs slightly bent, maintaining a stable posture, she slowly slid down.
Reaching a cliff face, Bei Yutang’s gaze fell upon a torn piece of cloth caught on a sharp rock.
Bei Yutang picked up the cloth; it was the garment Li Mengmeng had worn the day before.
The three people on the cliff edge, seeing her stop, anxiously called out from above, “What’s wrong?”
“I found Li Mengmeng’s clothes.” Bei Yutang said, waving what she had found.
The three people on the cliff edge, upon seeing the piece of cloth, paled slightly. Although they had already guessed her fate, seeing it with their own eyes still caused them some distress.
Bei Yutang continued down, seeing nothing else along the way. As her body was about to reach the surface, her pupils suddenly widened.
On a platform in a recess in the cliff lay a corpse, its body chopped into countless pieces.
Seeing her standing there motionless, the others felt a surge of worry.
“Miss Bei, what’s wrong?”
Bei Yutang called out to the people above, “Wait a moment.”
With that, Bei Yutang pushed off the cliff face, swinging forward and bouncing back quickly. In that instant, she successfully jumped onto the platform above.
This area above resembled a small cave, with a huge rock blocking the view above. Below, on the platform, there was a space large enough for three to five people to stand.
The corpse was piled up there.
Bei Yutang first examined the condition of the body. It could be said that this time the killer had been even more ruthless toward her than toward Gongsun Mingyue, demonstrating the deepest hatred for Li Mengmeng.
Like the corpses she’d seen before, the body was completely devoid of blood.
Bei Yutang found Li Mengmeng’s remains in a corner, and was horrified to discover that her eyes and ears had been gouged out, strangely, with bloodstains on them.
Bloodstains…
If the blood had been drained normally before such an act, there would be no bloodstains, yet her head clearly wasn’t.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: while Li Mengmeng was alive, the murderer had gouged out her eyes and cut off her ears.
Bei Yutang’s heart sank.
What kind of hatred could drive someone to such a brutal act?
Bei Yutang desperately wanted to know what secrets he harbored.
As Bei Yutang prepared to return and have them come down to haul the body parts back up, she paused. She went toward a corner of the cliff face and saw scattered white powder clinging to the cliff and a piece of hip bone.
She had seen it on the cliff before, and now she saw it here again.
What was this?
Bei Yutang considered a possibility, but she couldn’t be certain yet.
It seemed she would have to go up and examine the other corpses to find out.
