"There's something even weirder." Cui Youan asked Yan Su to get into the carriage, and he rode a horse to the side of the carriage, saying as he walked: "If this child is lost, it is understandable, after all, children are easy to deceive, because they are young, they are easy to be kidnapped by gangsters." But this girl also disappeared one after another, which made people feel unsure. ”

"Girl...... Missing one after another? ”

"Hmm." Cui You'an nodded: "The most strange of them is the Rue Xiang girl in Rue Xiang Fang." ”

"Rue girl?"

"Miss is from Yecheng, I don't know this Rue girl." Cui Youan straightened up: "Miss Ruxiang's family name is Chen." This Chen family is an incense maker, and it has been passed down to the generation of Ruxiang girl, which is already the ninth generation. Although this Rue Xiang girl is a woman, she is a proficient in incense making, or she can't break out of her Rue Xiang Workshop at a young age. ”

Just listening to Mr. Cui say this, I know that this Rue Xiang girl must not be simple.

"It's not that I particularly admire this rue girl, but this rue girl is really shrewd and capable." Cui You'an said, his eyes sank: "It's a pity that Miss Rue Xiang is missing." ”

One afternoon half a year ago, the Chen family went to the government to report the case, saying that their young lady Chen Yunxiang was missing.

The Chen family said that since Chen Yunxiang ran the Rue Xiang Workshop alone, she lived in the Rue Xiang Fang for five or six days out of ten days, and she never contacted her family during the incense making period.

On that day, Chen Yunxiang's grandmother felt unwell and sent someone from the house to Ruxiangfang to ask her to call Chen Yunxiang back. When the next person arrived at Ruxiangfang, they found that the door of Ruxiangfang was slightly hidden, all the spices in it were emptied, and Chen Yunxiang was gone.

"This rue girl disappeared with spices?"

"Yes. After receiving a report from the Chen family, the arresters followed him to Ruxiangfang. When I opened the door, I saw that there was nothing in the room except for the shelves and boxes where spices were placed, and even the floor was clean. The spices in the entire Rue Xiang Workshop have been emptied. ”

"Perhaps, it was this Rue Xiang girl who changed places by herself."

Cui Youan shook his head: "The ancestors of the Chen family have lived in our Rongcheng for generations, and there is no contradiction between Miss Rue and the family, and this Rue Xiang Fang is well run, although it is not a daily income, but it is not bad." Miss Rue Xiang can't and won't empty the things in the shop without informing her family, and the people will disappear. ”

"Does this Rue girl have a match?"

"There is no marriage yet." Cui You'an pursed his lips: "There are many people in the Chen family who ask for marriage, but Miss Rue Xiang doesn't seem to have a particularly favorite candidate, and she is still young, and the Chen family is reluctant to marry her off so soon." Miss Ruexiang's marriage was put on hold. ”

"Since it's a shop, there should be other shops around, right?"

"There are shops on the left and right, and they have all been inquired about one by one. The owner of the shop and the guests all said that they had seen the Rue Xiang girl a few days ago, and they also saw the door of the Rue Xiang Fang open. Because when the Rue Xiang girl makes incense, she will close the door to thank customers, so everyone has no doubts about the sudden closure of the Rue Xiang Fang, and before and after the disappearance of the Rue Xiang Girl, no strangers have been seen in and out of the Rue Xiang Fang, nor have they heard any special sounds, and they have encountered anything special. ”

"Everything is fine, there is no trace of it, but the room full of spices and the owner of the workshop are gone. Did this rue girl and her spices grow wings and fly? ”

"Yes, how else would I say that the disappearance of this Rue Xiang girl is even more bizarre and strange."

As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived at the palace.

When he got out of the car, he saw Gu Yunfei talking to the two catchers, his eyes met, Gu Yunfei made a pause and walked towards her.

"Ma'am."

"Where's your lord?"

"I'm still reading the file in the yamen."

"What about you? Why don't you accompany the adults in the ya, but stand at the door and gossip with people. ”

"Madam, this is wronged subordinates." Gu Yunfei made a way: "They are in charge of investigating the disappearance of the Ruxiang girl in Ruxiang Fang, and they happened to see a few suspicious places in the file, so they called them over to ask." ”

"Just now on the way, Mr. Cui also told me about the disappearance of this Rue Xiang girl." Yan Suwen looked at Cui You'an, nodded, smiled, and then moved his gaze to Gu Yunfei: "You just said that there are a few suspicious places, but the case of this Ruxiang girl's disappearance has taken a turn for the better?" ”

"There was a watchman who was on the watch, and on the third watch, he saw two people moving things out of Ruxiangfang. Those things were packed in boxes, and there were cars in total. The car is an ordinary car, and there is nothing special about it. Because it was early in the morning, although the husband felt that something was wrong, he inevitably got into trouble, and did not check closely, and did not pay attention to the direction of the person who moved the box and the vehicle. ”

"Even if you don't pay attention to the details, the husband should always know which direction the car is going."

"This, it didn't say in the file, but when I asked just now, the two catchers told me."

"Where did those two cars go?"

"According to the husband of the watchman, the two cars containing the boxes that were moved out of Ruxiangfang were heading in the direction of Chen's house."

"Chen Yunxiang went home?"

"Nope! After repeated questioning, the Chen family insisted that Miss Rue Xiang had not moved anything back from Rue Xiang Fang, and had never moved anything in the early hours of the morning. ”

"Anything else?"

"Yes! The Rue girl has a friend she has known since childhood, and this friend of hers has also disappeared, and the time of disappearance is almost the same as that of Rue Girl. ”

"What the general said was Miss Yi'an?" Cui You'an asked: "This Yi'an girl's surname is Xie." The Xie family and the Chen family live next to each other. The Chen family is an incense maker and incense seller, and the Xie family is an incense picker, and the two families are both neighbors and business partners. In addition, the little general is right, this Yi'an girl is also missing. ”

"How did this Yi'an girl disappear?"

"I don't see it when I go up the mountain and make incense."

"Go up the mountain and incense?"

"Yes! Mrs. Xie, the mother of Miss Yi'an, is a person who serves the Buddha, and at the beginning of every month, she takes Miss Yi'an to the Temple of Mercy and Grace on the mountain to make incense. On the day of Miss Yi'an's accident, she happened to go alone. According to the monks in the temple, there was nothing special about the Yi'an girl who went to the incense that day, and as usual, after worshipping the Buddha and Bodhisattva in various halls, she went to the backyard alone. The backyard is quiet, planted with a lot of flowers and trees, and there are guest rooms for pilgrims to rest and drink tea.

In the past, when Miss Yi An and Mrs. Xie came together, they would also take a nap in the backyard. After resting, leave on your own. Therefore, the monks in the temple did not pay much attention to the whereabouts of Miss Yi'an, and no one said clearly when and where she disappeared.

Because Miss Yi'an disappeared in the mountains, and Miss Rue Xiang disappeared in Rue Xiang Fang, the files of the two were not placed in one place, and the relationship between the two was not mentioned in the files. ”

"Are there many such disappearance cases in Rongcheng?"

"The girl is a total of thirteen people, and these thirteen people have nothing in common except that they are all missing. Among them, there are not only official ladies, daughters of your family, but also daughters of ordinary people. Rue Xiang disappeared in his own shop, Yi'an was not seen when he went up the mountain to make incense, and Chen Xiaoyu, the daughter of fisherman Chen San, was absent when he went out to deliver fish to others.

In addition to the missing girl, there were seven or eight children, the oldest being seven years old and the youngest being just a full moon. This full-moon child is also very strange. The day he lost it happened to be his full moon feast, and after seeing the guests, he was carried by the nurse at home to the bedroom to rest.

The baby is sleepy, and the nurse puts the baby in the shaker after feeding, and the nurse lies on the side of the bed for a short nap. This nurse was bothered to find by the family, and she was very attentive on weekdays, but whenever there was a little sound, she could be alerted immediately, but when the child was lost, the nurse didn't even hear a sound. It's as if the child fell asleep in a shaker and then disappeared.

At first, the family suspected that the nurse had colluded with outsiders to do something, and sent her to the government. This nurse is also a fierce one, and she can't bear the humiliation, so she hit the pillar in front of the court to prove her innocence. This case has become a headless unsolved case and has been shelved. ”

"Is the nurse dead?"

"No, I broke my head, I fainted for a long time, and I woke up, but after I woke up, I refused to say anything. The people in the house also confirmed that on the day of the child's disappearance, the nursing mother did not speak to outsiders except for holding the child. The guests who visited that day were also checked, and they were all good friends with the main family, and there was no possibility that outsiders would get in and steal the children. ”

"This man can't have disappeared into thin air." Yan Su asked, and there was a feeling of chills all over her body. Consciousness told it that the case of the disappearance of the child and the disappearance of the girl were involved, and the matter involved was not too small. Rongcheng, Yecheng, and even Xuancheng, these three cities that are painted on human skins, and the people who disappeared for no reason in the three cities, what kind of terrible secrets are hidden.

"I'm really sorry for you, madam. After going through the file many times, I found a suspicious point. Gu Yunfei sniffed the air: "In the case of the disappearance of children, more than one person mentioned a fragrance. ”

"Aroma?"

"Hmm. Floral, a scent of what flowers. Gu Yunfei sniffed: "In Chen Amao's disappearance case file, Chen Amao's mother once mentioned that when she pushed open the door of her house, she smelled a fragrance of flowers, a very strong fragrance of flowers, but there were no flowers in her home, and there were no spices that could emit this fragrance. In the case of the disappearance of the full-moon baby, the nursing mother also mentioned that when she woke up, she smelled a fragrance of flowers, and said that the fragrance of flowers was very special, like several floral fragrances intertwined together, which made people smell, a little uncomfortable, and a little drowsy. ”
