After entering the small building, Zhang Tianyi and Yang Kui searched all three floors from top to bottom.
While inspecting the building, they also installed surveillance cameras in several hidden corners and outside the building.
That way, Luo Yan, who was on the first floor, could monitor the entire area through a computer.
After checking the surveillance footage from each floor on the tablet, Luo Yan handed it to Xia Yan and had her keep watch.
When Zhang Tianyi and Yang Kui came downstairs, Luo Yan sent them out to gather information.
They returned not long afterward, wearing somewhat strange expressions.
"What did you find out?" Luo Yan set down the 'Blazing Plains' he had been wiping and asked as he looked at the two of them.
Zhang Tianyi glanced at Ma Fang first, then said, "We just walked around the camp. Miss Ma's father, Mister Ma Tao, really does live in this camp."
Upon hearing that, Ma Fang could no longer sit still. "Where does my father live?"
She was about to rush outside, but Yang Kui stopped her.
"Calm down, Miss Ma."
Yang Kui sighed and said, "The camp's residents told us that Mister Ma Tao died at the beginning of spring."
"From their descriptions, he probably contracted cholera. There was no medicine in the camp, and he couldn't hold on, so..."
"How could that be?" Ma Fang was devastated. The color drained from her face, and she staggered backward several steps before collapsing onto the sofa.
Luo Yan was both surprised and unsurprised that Ma Tao had died of cholera.
What surprised him was that they were about to find the Golden Apple, yet Ma Tao, the crucial person involved, had died at this critical juncture.
What did not surprise him was that cholera was extremely common
