Huo Tingdong said, "They are right, they are just the tomb keepers, the gatekeepers, it's impossible to get anything out of them."
Mo Ke said worriedly, "What should we do then? Have the ashes been really stolen?"
Huo Tingdong said, "Who would steal the ashes of a child? Did you not notice? Lin Qi had erected an unnamed stele for this child. Who would steal the ashes of a child whose gender is even unknown?"
Mo Ke was at a loss for words.
"If it's for a ghost marriage, at least the gender is needed. If it's theft for ransom, Lin Qi has never mentioned to me that someone has ransomed for this. She seems to be completely unaware of this matter. Moreover..."
Huo Tingdong looked up, his voice cold, "If the ashes were really stolen, why didn't the person just take the ash box away too?"
Mo Ke's eyes widened, feeling a sudden clarity in his congested thoughts.
