Chapter 2204 Ordinary people simply cannot detect it.
Xie Nan stood quietly by and watched, seeing her lying on the ground, not even caring about her mother's ashes.
She didn't care, and neither did Dongchan. They stood guard beside her, like a demon beast in a cultivation world protecting a rare spiritual plant it had discovered. If any human cultivator dared to covet it, it would immediately pounce on them and bite them to death.
They ignored it, but Xie Nan couldn't stand it any longer and walked up to Zhang Ran to ask, "Aren't you going to bury your mother's ashes?"
Zhang Ran ignored him, her face covered with a banana leaf, seemingly asleep.
Xie Nan didn't press the matter further. He turned around, looked around, found the discarded urn, and strode over to it.
Most of the ashes in the urn had spilled out, leaving only a small portion at the bottom. Xie Nan squatted down, trying to pick up the ashes and put them back in the urn, but the spilled ashes were already mixed with the soil and couldn't be separated.
He considered putting the ashes into the urn with the soil, but then felt it was inappropriate. While he was struggling with this decision, he suddenly noticed something. His face turned serious as he rummaged through the ashes on the ground and poured out the remaining ashes at the bottom of the urn. After rummaging around for a while, he quickly walked towards Zhang Ran and said, "Those are not your mother's ashes."
In other words, the urn contains plant ash, not human ashes at all.
Zhang Ran reached out and lifted the banana leaf off her face to look at him. "It wasn't true to begin with."
Xie Nan choked, "How could your mother's ashes have turned into ashes?" He had been with her the whole time, watching her, but he hadn't seen her make any move. When did the ashes turn into ashes?
As she kept recalling various details, she suddenly remembered something: when she returned to Luo Family Village, she put the urn of ashes into Luo Laowu's room. Could it be that the ashes were switched at that time?
"I just accidentally took the wrong one." Zhang Ran said casually as she stood up from the ground. She didn't like people talking down to her.
Xie Nan: "...You can't just take the wrong ashes? Explain yourself, what do you mean by preparing a jar of plant ash?"
"Which law says I can't own a jar of wood ash?" Zhang Ran retorted, explaining logically, "Wood ash is best for growing potted plants, so I'll take it home to use as fertilizer."
Xie Nan: "...Did you already know that he planted a bomb in the urn?"
Then, after a moment's thought, she immediately retorted, "No, he never had a chance to touch the urn from beginning to end. Did you plant a bomb in the urn... No, that's not right..."
If she deliberately put a bomb in the urn to kill Luo Laowu, how could the remote control be in Luo Laowu's hands?
It was clear that Luo Laowu knew there was a bomb in the urn, which is why he pressed the remote control to blow them all up.
Zhang Ran had no obligation to answer his questions, so she quietly watched him scratch his head in frustration.
While racking his brains, Xie Nan mentally went through everyone who had come into contact with the urn, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the funeral home staff planted a bomb in the urn?"
Seeing that Zhang Ran did not refute, he sorted out his thoughts and guessed that Gu Jinhe hated Zhang Ran even more after being sentenced. So he sent someone to bribe the funeral home staff to put a bomb in the urn and then handed the remote control to Luo Laowu, wanting to kill Zhang Ran.
But how did Zhang Ran discover that there was a bomb in the urn?
The bomb was buried deep in the ashes. What normal person would dig up their own mother's ashes?
Ordinary people wouldn't even notice; they would just be blown up to death.
Xie Nan couldn't figure this out, so he put it aside for the moment and took out his phone to call Captain Lu. "Captain Lu, I accompanied Zhang Ran back to her hometown to handle the funeral arrangements. Someone planted a bomb in the urn containing her ashes. I now suspect that someone from the funeral home tampered with it..."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Zhang Ran. "The police have sent people to the funeral home to arrest him. We'll have news soon." But he suspected that the other party might have already fled, after all, putting a bomb in an urn is no small matter.
