The shopkeeper saw that these outsiders were so enthusiastic, and he kept thinking about helping them, and he didn't hide the situation of the missing people in Liu'an Township, thinking that if he told them everything, maybe they could help something, and maybe they could help Liu'an Township solve this case of missing people.

"The earliest case of missing people happened three months ago, the first one who disappeared was Liu Laohan, who was usually kind and did not offend anyone, and there was no wife and children at home, only an old yellow dog, when he disappeared, no one found out, and then it was his neighbor Wang Aunt who found out that he had not seen Liu Laohan for several days, and then reported to the official." The innkeeper gave a detailed account of the first missing person, hoping to give them some clues.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Ning Er and several of them fell into deep thought, Liu Laohan lives alone, so the time when the neighbor Wang Damiang reported to the official may not be the first time Liu Laohan disappeared, there is no way to determine the time, and Liu Laohan has no family, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to investigate. "Shopkeeper, is there any other information about Liu Laohan, such as whether he has offended anyone before or made enemies with anyone?" In the contemplation of everyone, Wu Shuang first raised the question, he thought that Wu Laohan's disappearance would be related to Liu Laohan's previous life.

"Enemies? I haven't heard of it, but Liu Laohan is quite honest, he is in his fifties this year, and he has lived here for one or two decades, and he has never heard of it. The shopkeeper quickly replied to Wu Shuang's question, and he didn't know whether Liu Laohan had an enemy.

"Shopkeeper, tell me about the other missing people." Ning Er on the side knew that just listening to the information of an old man Liu couldn't summarize something, just like asking the shopkeeper to say more information about the missing people, so as to summarize and summarize it, see if there are any similarities between them and these missing people, and want to find a pattern from it to solve this missing case.

"The second missing person is Zhuyuanwai, who lives in the east of the township, he disappeared five days after Wang Damiang's report to the official, and no one has seen how Zhuyuanwai disappeared. On the day of the disappearance, Zhu Yuanwai went to the gambling house to gamble money according to the usual practice, but he did not return home in the evening, and Zhu Yuanwai's family sent someone to the gambling house to look for it, but the gambling house said that he had not seen Zhu Yuanwai for a day today, and then Zhu Yuanwai's family quickly reported the case. When the shopkeeper spoke, his expression was very normal, his eyes did not dodge, he did not stumble when he spoke, and his tone of voice revealed a sense of doubt and worry.

"Shopkeeper, where does the missing Liu Laohan's family live just now?" When Wu Shuang heard the shopkeeper say that the missing bamboo member was missing, he said that he lived in the east of Liu'an Township, but he didn't say the location when he said Liu Laohan just now, and Wu Shuang felt that the law of the missing person was not related to the location where he lived.

"Oh, Liu Laohan lives in the westernmost part of Liu'an Township." When the shopkeeper heard Wu Shuang's inquiry, he hurriedly added a sentence and said the location of Liu Laohan's house.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a pen and paper?" Ning Er felt that she would definitely not be able to hear any connection just by listening, so she thought of asking the shopkeeper for paper and pen to write down the information of the missing people.

"Yes, I'll get it for you." The shopkeeper heard Ning'er's request, and quickly got up and walked into the back room to look for pen and paper.

When the shopkeeper left, several people gathered around and whispered a few words. "Do you hear anything?" Qianxue is usually very arrogant, and she has never paid much attention to this kind of detail, so it is too difficult for Qianxue to find the pattern according to the missing person now.

"No, I can't hear anything." Yiyi, who has always been at odds with Qianxue, didn't scold Qianxue this time, and answered Qianxue's question seriously. But Yiyi didn't hear any clues from what the shopkeeper said, it can also be said that she just listened, but she didn't think about it at all, Yiyi felt that the young lady shouldn't be nosy, originally they had promised to help the son and son find relatives this time, and now they are taking this kind of thankless thing halfway, which is a waste of time.

"It's okay, let's not be discouraged, if it's really so simple, we can hear something, and the government won't be looking for so long and haven't found those missing people, isn't it just two people, let's listen to what the shopkeeper said, maybe, listen to it more and soon be able to have a little eyebrows." Ning'er saw that everyone didn't hear anything after listening for a while, and they all became very depressed, Ning'er wanted to change this situation, and wanted to give everyone a little encouragement, so that the blow could be reinvigorated.

"Ning'er is right, so many of us must be able to!" Wu Shuang knew that Ning Er was encouraging everyone by saying this, and immediately followed Ning Er's tone and said, I want everyone to maintain confidence, don't just hear about it and haven't analyzed it, you already have no confidence, so it is estimated that you will not be able to think of a way to solve the case.

"Here comes the pen and paper!" The shopkeeper walked out of the back room with a pen and paper, in fact, what Ning'er and the others said outside, the shopkeeper more or less heard it.

"I just said two people, and there are more than two dozen people missing now, of which I know only five." The shopkeeper put pen and paper on the table as he spoke, ready to continue.

Paper and pen were put on the table, Ning'er and a few of them looked at each other, as if they were looking for someone to write this word better, although Ning'er is the eldest lady of Liufu, but because she is a woman, although she learned to read and write when she was a child, she knew only a limited number of words, and she could write even less, so Ning'er didn't go to get a pen and paper. Yiyi is Ning'er's maid, Ning'er has read some books anyway, but Yiyi hasn't read it at all, and she doesn't even know how to use the pen.

Although Wu Shuang on the side of the table has learned to read and write, but the writing is limited to writing, whether others can recognize it is a problem, Wu Shuang is still very frightened of paper and pen, you must know that when Wu Shuang's father Wu Mingrang wanted Wu Shuang to study hard, he didn't bother much, but Wu Shuang He is not a piece of reading and writing material, so he had to invite a master who taught martial arts to him, and wanted him to go to the imperial court to take the military attaché examination.

Qianxue, who has been living in the mountains, has never touched things like paper and pencils, and the master only taught her martial arts, and even the laundry and cooking were all done by Qianxue herself to ask the people who live on the mountainside. Qianxue's master is even more unreliable, and he often can't find a figure, Qianxue has lived on the mountain for so many years, it can be said that he is almost entirely on his own, and he basically lives alone, and occasionally people living on the mountainside will make some delicious food for Qianxue to see Qianxue.

Zijian looked at the few people around him who didn't want to take a pen and paper to record, Zijian didn't say anything, he directly took the pen and paper to his side, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote two lines on the paper, "Liu Laohan, Xiangxitou, disappeared on the fifth day of the sixth month; Outside the bamboo staff, the east head of the township, disappeared on the tenth day of the sixth month".

The shopkeeper saw that the words written by Zi Jian were strong and powerful, and he was very imposing, and he couldn't help but praise the words of the company. "This son's handwriting is really good, although I am a rough person, I haven't read much, but I can also feel that the word childe writes very well!"

Ning'er and the others heard the shopkeeper's praise for Zijian's handwriting, so they quickly made up for Zijian, and poked out their little heads, wanting to see how Zijian's handwriting was doing. Qianxue sat next to Zikan, because she couldn't read or read, and she didn't have much interest, so she just glanced down and turned her head away.

Seeing that everyone wanted to see what they had written, Zijian was a little shy, and hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper should hurry up and talk about the disappearance." Just a simple sentence shifted everyone's attention to the disappearance case, and everyone no longer had any strong interest in Zikan's words.

"That's right, shopkeeper, you should talk about the disappearance case immediately!" Qian Xue, who was sitting next to Zijian, also said that she was really not interested in reading and writing, but the disappearance case was more interesting to her and could help.

"Oh, okay. The third person who disappeared was five days after Zhuyuanwai's disappearance, he was the owner of Zhang, who had set up a stall in the township to sell breakfast, and his family lived in the township street, and it is said that his daughter-in-law found him missing when he came out of the stall that morning. The shopkeeper heard Zijian and Qianxue urging him to talk about the disappearance, and quickly told the stall owner about the situation.

"You found it in the morning when you set up a stall?" Ning Er expressed doubts about what the shopkeeper said, if the stall owner Zhang sold early, shouldn't he get up early to prepare, how could he find out that he was missing when he came out of the stall; Ning Er just thought about it in her heart, but the words behind her were not spoken, Ning Er was still a little wary of the shopkeeper, and felt that she couldn't fully believe what he said.

"Yes, that's what his daughter-in-law said when she reported to the official, and the neighbors in the street also spread it like this, what's wrong, is there any problem?" The shopkeeper felt very strange that Ning Er asked this, and he didn't know if there was any place here that people could wonder.

"Nothing, nothing, you move on to the next person." Ning Er didn't say what she was puzzled about, but asked the shopkeeper to continue to talk about the situation of the other missing people.

The fourth missing person is a blacksmith Zhou who lives in the west of the township, whose family has been working for a living for generations, and the time of disappearance is five days after the disappearance of the stall owner. The fifth missing person was a child, whose family lived in the streets of the township, and was the child of Sun Xiucai's family, who was only eleven or twelve years old. The shopkeeper quickly told the story of the five people he knew.

"These five people have been missing for five days in a row?" Wu Shuang soon discovered the commonalities of the five people mentioned by the shopkeeper and put forward her own opinions.

"Yes, because the five of them were the first to disappear, and the government posted the information, and the information of the people who disappeared later was kept secret, and I don't know what the situation was." The shopkeeper said that the reason why he knew about these situations turned out to be the information on the missing person notice issued by the government, and later, because the government did not allow the news of the disappearance to be spread indiscriminately, he didn't know much about it.

"Shopkeeper, then so be it, arrange a few rooms for us, and we'll stay here today." Ning'er knew that the shopkeeper refused to say anything else, so she asked the shopkeeper to arrange a guest room to stay, and after staying, they could discuss the disappearance case again to see if there was any way to solve it.

Because the hotel was empty and no one lived in it, the shopkeeper quickly arranged their rooms, Ning Er and Yiyi had a room, Zijian and Wu Shuang had a room, Qianxue had a room by herself, and the three rooms were all located on the second floor next to each other.
