Chapter 1748: Chapter 1748: Tao Feili Died of Fright
Dead?
Uncle Meng was stunned, his expression somewhat dazed. He actually... just died?
Shu Yu saw him staring blankly without speaking and hesitated for a moment. Was she too direct? After all, he was Uncle Mengâs brother-in-law, and it was heard that Uncle Meng took good care of him in the past. But she didnât know how to put it more tactfully, since it was already a fact.
Finally, after a long pause, Uncle Meng sighed and asked with a complex expression, "Do you know how he died?"
"I heard from someone who shared a cell with him that Jiang Kuanyu went to the cell, took Uncle Tao out to the interrogation room for questioning. Later, we had a doctor from the black market examine him. Jiang Kuanyu tortured Uncle Tao, and Uncle Tao couldnât take it. He tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide but failed and only managed to injure it. The final cause of death was fright-induced heart failure. Itâs unknown what Jiang Kuanyu said to scare him, but it left him extremely terrified before his death, with dilated pupils, directly leading to his death."
In short, Tao Feili was indeed tortured, and his injuries were severe, but the real cause of death was being scared to death.
Jiang Kuanyu, with such means of torment and interrogation, was clearly skilled. Uncle Meng was tortured by him for two days, and there wasnât a good spot on his body, but he managed to hang on.
How could such a person, in such a short time, torture Tao Feili to death? Since he specially took him to the interrogation room, it was obvious he wanted to learn something from him.
Perhaps even Jiang Kuanyu didnât expect that the other party would be scared to death.
Uncle Meng remained silent after hearing this, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After a long while, he finally said, "Was the body brought back?"
"Itâs still at the black market. Weâll send it back later once things here are settled."
Uncle Meng nodded, "Alright, once itâs brought back, send it directly to the Tao family."
Shu Yu heard his tone, which seemed much colder towards the Tao family.
She thought Uncle Meng being captured by Jiang Kuanyu probably had something to do with Tao Feili.
But mentioning the Tao family reminded Shu Yu of what she saw before they left, and after thinking for a moment, she mentioned Ms. Taoâs desire to meet him.
However, Uncle Meng shook his head, "Not now."
Shu Yu understood, and just at that moment, Ying Xi brought over the porridge.
Uncle Mengâs moments of clarity were still limited, and after eating, he soon went back to sleep.
Shu Yu stayed at the clinic for a while, and after Doctor Mi returned, she left with Ying Xi.
As soon as they left the clinic, they went to the abandoned mansion.
Outside the mansion now were several people standing guard. They were guards from He Erâs family and the soldiers under Inspector Yinâs command.
The other two inspectors and soldiers from Chenggu County had all been placed in the county office jail. There were very few people available in the town, with the only formal soldiers being those under Inspector Yinâs command.
Therefore, these people were assigned around the county town, mixed with forces from the local population, temporarily maintaining order in the city.
Shu Yu entered the mansion and first went to the place where weapons were stored. Two people were tidying up there, and when they saw her coming, they quickly turned around, "Monarch Lu Xiang."
"Thanks for your hard work. Did Lu Wu go back to the black market to transport weapons?"
Both nodded, and Shu Yu turned and headed towards the room where the entrance to the secret passage was.
The entrance to the secret passage was now wide open, and Shu Yu didnât have to wait long before there was movement from the entrance.
Indeed, Lu Wu brought people to gradually transport weapons from the black market up.
