Chapter 41: Attempted murder
Futong.
After the post mortem analysis had been completed and necessary information was gathered, Mingshen released Dai Yaling's body to the next of kin of the Dai family. There was a small funeral held in the evening, which Jia and Huojin had attended too. The atmosphere at the Dai family's home was somber and laced with silence when they returned from the funeral.
Dai Fengge had locked himself in the room while Dai Meihui cooked dinner, lost deep in her thoughts. A small fluff of ball hugged her legs from the back with the purest smile on his lips. "Mama, I am hungry!"
She smiled and patted his head. "Yes, yes. Dinner is ready. Will you help me set the spoons on the table, dear?"
"Yes!" He flailed his arms up in excitement and ran to take the spoons from the kitchen drawer.
"Be careful around the forks. Don't touch them, okay?"
"Yes, Mama."
Dai Meihui glanced at the bedroom where Dai Fengge had cooped himself inside ever since they had returned. With an unpleasant gaze, she walked inside and plainly said without much emotion, "Dinner is ready."
"G-go away!" Dai Fengge was slightly drunk with an empty bottle lying on the bed.
The scene before her immediately irked her. "What is wrong with you? Yun is here, yet you are drunk like crazy! Do you even bother how it will affect him if he sees this?"
He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. "I...I have lost my Mom here and you are worried about what Yun sees? You are calling me for dinner? How can you even think of having an appetite when we have lost Mom...Do you have any heart?"
