Chapter Twenty-Five: Comb Cloud Disappears

"Gone?"

Nanyan looked at Luo Chen and didn't seem to be liaring.

"Yes, the master also replied with a message, saying that no minister in the capital has had strange movements recently."

Nanyan fell into deep thought.

Last time, although Nanyan released those who designed in Cangcheng, he privately sent someone to follow and find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, the seven unarmed people were lost by the secret guards, and Bai Zhuangzhuang also died.

Why did he hide himself?

After half a ring, the south flue:

"At present, it seems that he is not an enemy, since he doesn't want to expose himself, then let's deal with the matter in front of us first!"

Luo Chen has this intention.

Nanyan: "What is the result of today's investigation?" ”

"It's strange that if it's a kidnapping, no one asks for ransom like the family."

"If it is said that they are greedy for beauty, some men are not outstanding at all. The women who were tied up were also mediocre. ”

After Luo Chen finished speaking, he showed a helpless expression for the first time.

"So how many people are related to their relatives in the family? Or, will it be related to the restructuring? ”

Luo Chen shook his head.

"Only a few are not very good, but after people are lost, most of them are anxious to find someone. If it has something to do with the restructuring, why kidnap and make some trouble, wouldn't it be more effective? ”

Nanyan nodded.

"There is great strength in numbers, so let's bring everyone together and think about it!"

Luo Chen was about to go out when he received the order, and Nanyan said again:

"Ask Lingzhi to come too, she has been outside for a long time, maybe she has a different way of thinking."

Luo Chen paused and left.

After a while, I heard the hurried footsteps of Dyika:

"Master, Comb Cloud is gone!"

Nan Yan stood up suddenly.

"What's going on?!"

Dye Xiang bit her lip, Chongmiao hung her head behind her, and Luo Chen and Ling Zhi came in later.

"Master, it's all the courtiers ...... blame"

Nanyan Forehead:

"Let's talk about what's going on!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chongmiao didn't procrastinate.

"In the afternoon, the courtiers asked Comb Yun to change into men's clothes, tricked her into going out to buy food, and wanted to lure the thieves to appear, although the courtiers left under the pretext, but they really stared at her quietly on the street."

But she saw a candy gourd seller in the distance turn into the alley, and ran after him. By the time I followed, she was gone. ”

"I searched all the neighborhood and there was no sign of her, so I came back...... The news was reported. ”

Nanyan held back his anger:

"How long has it been?"

"Probably...... Two hours. ”

Chong Miao's voice became smaller and smaller.

It was already dark, and several of them were not familiar with Lin'an County, and looking for someone was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"No one is following them today?"

Nanyan asked Lingzhi.

The latter glanced at Chong Miao, who was doing bad things, and said dissatisfied:

"Master, today I sent everyone out to find those missing people, how did my subordinates think that this eldest lady would be a moth at this time!"

Nanyan took a deep breath and clenched his fists:

"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility, Dye Xiang, you are waiting for news at the inn."

"Chongmiao, you take us to the place where Comb Yun disappeared to find clues."

"Luo Chen, you go to the prefect Zhang Gulan and ask her ......"

As soon as Luo Chen heard that Nanyan was going to send him out alone, he immediately interrupted:

"Master, under special circumstances, the minister can't leave you, let Lingzhi accompany him to dye incense, bring the minister's waist card to the prefect to transfer people for support, and the inn has a letter to stay behind."

Ling Zhi saw Luo Chen's eagerness and said unhappily:

"Huh! Senior brother, do you think that senior sister is not capable of protecting the safety of the Heavenly Maiden? ”

Luo Chen didn't even look at him:

"Yes!"

Ling Zhi was angry and wanted to pick a son, but Nanyan didn't speak, she didn't have the courage to do so.

Nanyan knew that what Luo Chen said was right, now was not the time to act rashly.

So he nodded in agreement.

Chongmiao walked in front with a lantern.

"Master, this is it."

Chongmiao pointed to the alley buried by the night, which was about ten meters long and less than two meters wide, and even if the light was dim, he could see his head at a glance.

Fortunately, the heavy snow had stopped in the morning, so it was easy to see the footprints and maybe have some clues.

Nanyan knew that his thoughts were a little greedy, and Comb Yun and Chongmiao were walking on the main road of Lin'an County today, and it was winter, and the people who went out must have gone home after buying things and taking a shortcut.

The footprints in the alley are messy, and you can see it at a glance.

Nanyan was anxious, on such a cold day, Comb Yun was always prone to sleepiness recently, if the thief thought she was in the way and threw it wherever she was, she would definitely freeze to death!

"Huh? Master, this dog's footprints, maybe it's Ah Fu! ”

Chongmiao pointed to the plum blossom prints in the messy footprints and said anxiously.

Nanyan didn't react, and Chong Miao immediately explained:

"Comb Yun went to the backyard of the inn to play in the snow at noon, and saw Xiao Er chasing a wild dog, so Comb Yun stopped the dog and fed it, and called him Ah Fu, when we came out in the afternoon, Ah Fu also followed her!"

Chongmiao knew that she had caused a big disaster, although she was suspected of going to the doctor in a hurry, but it was indeed a direction to find people.

Nanyan's heart softened, and the scene of the first meeting with Comb Yun flashed in his mind.

Luo Chen said in a deep voice:

"Master, the dog knows the most about kindness, if it follows the comb cloud, maybe we will follow the dog's paw prints to find clues!"

Sure enough, after Luo Chen finished speaking, he could clearly distinguish the footprints in the snow again, a pair of relatively small shoe prints broke in the middle of the alley, and the dog footprints seemed to have fought in that place.

There was clearly a patch of snow on the ground, which was the mark of the dog retreating and dragging on the ground.

"Let's go!"

Nanyan didn't hesitate.

All the way out of the alley along the paw prints, the distance of the paw prints behind became larger, and it should be running.

Looking at the axle print at its feet, I guess Comb Cloud has been carried into the carriage.

The three of them kept their heads down and followed the sigil until they reached the city gate.

The guards guarding the door were not angry enough to step forward to stop them, Luo Chen's waist card was given to dye incense, and he couldn't prove his identity, so he took out a silver ingot.

"Is there a carriage out of town today, followed by a dog?"

The guard immediately changed his face when he saw the silver:

"Hehe, yes, keep barking, the old man said that he had never seen a wild dog begging for food so horizontally."

Luo Chen said sharply:

"So many people have disappeared recently, don't you feel suspicious and check it out!"

"Open the door!"

Nanyan's face was about to drip water, and he gave an order directly.

The guards were already choked by Luo Chen's face and blushed, and when they saw Nan Yan with a majestic face and luxurious clothes, they were originally timid, but they turned their heads and thought, no, is it good that he is an official!

But it inevitably provoked unknown bigwigs, and his tone softened a little:

"This girl, there is no reason for the city gate to be locked, please be early tomorrow if you have something!"

Nanyan knew that what the guard said was right, but she didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with such a stupid person!

Nanyan took a few steps back and looked at the height of the city wall, and said to Chongmiao:

"You go find Dye incense, and follow up!"

After finishing speaking, he flew directly up, and Luo Chen followed closely.

The guards were dumbfounded, Chong Miao stomped his feet, knowing that now was not the time to be reckless, so he turned around and went to meet with Dye Xiang.
