Chapter 65: A Good Pair!
Shen Muwan and the first thing they went to was the house of the girl who lost the girl the day before they arrived in Lotus Town, after all, the closer they were, the easier it was to find traces.
That family was a big family, and the family opened a cloth village. The old couple is an old woman, only this one child, as an eyeball-like protection.
Ever since the disappearance of the young girl in the town, they have hired a dozen bodyguards to take turns patrolling the yard of the young lady twenty-four hours a day.
But I didn't expect that such a tight defense was still stolen by someone, which simply cost the life of the old couple, and the old lady vomited a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the same day because of excessive grief.
The old man also had all white hair overnight, and he looked at least ten years old.
When Shen Muwan and the others came to the old man's house, they were greeted by the nephews of the two old men, a young man in his early twenties, who had been helping to take care of the cloth shop's business.
The young man's name was Chu Ge, and he led Shen Muwan and the others to the back hall, and asked them to wait for a while before helping the old man out.
The old man's name is Chu Yuanjiang, and the girl he lost is called Chu Xiaolian, who just turned sixteen years old this year, and he thought that he would find her a mother-in-law to marry her recently, but he was afraid that he would be stolen by the flower thief Chu Xiaolian day and night.
But just when the family affairs were almost discussed, the most feared thing still happened. Chu Xiaolian disappeared out of thin air at night, and like other girls, she didn't leave any clues.
Shen Muwan proposed to go to Chu Xiaolian's boudoir to have a look, Chu Yuanjiang was reluctant at first, but he knew Wang Meng, and when he heard him say that Shen Muwan was from the Xianmen, he immediately stood up and knelt down for Shen Muwan.
If it weren't for Shen Muwan signaling Chi Zhong to support him, the scene of the old man kneeling the little girl would have really been staged.
Shen Muwan stretched out his hand to support Chu Yuanjiang, "Uncle Chu, don't worry, Yu Gong is a matter of accumulating merit, we have to take care of Xianmen, Yu Private, we also have a girl who has been arrested, and we must also take care of it." In any case, we will give you an explanation. ”
Chu Yuanjiang burst into tears, "Thank you, Immortal, thank you!" Quick, take the fairy chief to Xiaolian's room! ”
Chu Ge agreed, but Shen Muwan noticed that his expression was a little nervous, and he couldn't help frowning. She glanced at Yan Hanze, and saw that the other party was also looking at her, and the two met their eyes, and many situations had already been communicated in this glance.
Shen Muwan entered Chu Xiaolian's room, first carefully searching on the ground, wanting to see if there was also the kind of teleportation array in Yue Lingling's room. To his disappointment, the dust on the ground was normal, and there was not a trace of cinnabar.
Yan Hanze called a small servant on the side and asked him if he had cleaned this room in the past two days, and the little servant replied that no one had come in since the young lady disappeared except for the official errand and the head of the Xuchen Dao.
Shen Muwan was still a little unwilling, and searched several hidden corners of the room, but there were still no clues, and the doors and windows were also not broken.
This is strange, Yue Lingling was taken away by the teleportation array, at least it is a clue, this Chu Xiaolian really disappeared out of thin air, what is going on?
Shen Muwan and the others searched in the yard for a long time but didn't find any clues, so they had to quit.
Then he went to another family that lost the girl five days ago, just when Shen Muwan felt that there would be no clues here, he didn't expect them to find a special dust mixed with cinnabar on the ground, although after the formation was used once, the pattern was unrecognizable, but cinnabar could not be scattered on the floor of the room casually.
And the most suspicious thing is that this cinnabar is also mixed with ordinary dust, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
This discovery made Shen Muwan and the others suddenly feel a little excited, after all, this also showed that this girl was stolen by the teleportation array like Yue Lingling.
They immediately visited several more houses without stopping, and sure enough, they all found cinnabar from the room where the girl had disappeared. And they also have a common feature, the child slept very hard the night he was lost.
This is also very similar to what happened to Shen Muwan and them, but Shen Muwan felt that there was also a difference between them, after all, those people were ordinary people, and they were immortal cultivators of the Immortal Gate.
If it was easy to make those ordinary people fall asleep, they could do it with a little incense, but if they wanted Shen Muwan to sleep so deeply, ordinary incense would not be able to do it, and they didn't smell any incense in the room at all later.
Obviously, the other party used more clever methods, but he didn't think of it yet.
"Uncle Shi, we have visited so many homes, are we going to visit all the forty or so households today?" Cui Lingyun had consumed a lot of spiritual power before because of restoring the pattern of the teleportation array, and at this time, he was a little powerless, and his face turned pale from exhaustion.
Shen Muwan's mind was on the case just now, and only then did she notice him, "I'm sorry, it's Uncle Shi who was too careless, Chi Chong, you take Ling Yun back to the inn to rest first, just waiting for your fourth uncle to reply."
For the rest of the place, I'll just go with Aze! ”
So, the four of them were divided into two groups, Shen Muwan and Yan Hanze seemed to confirm something, and visited more than a dozen houses in one go, a total of more than 20 people, before the two stopped, looked at each other, and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
"Well, Lord Shen Feng, do we want to continue?" Wang Meng felt that this leg was not his own, and he walked for a long day, and he didn't even drink saliva.
Shen Muwan and they are all cultivators above the golden pill, and there is no big problem if they don't eat or drink, but Wang Meng and the other official are mortal fetuses and naturally can't stand it.
Shen Muwan looked at them apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I'm tired of you, I think we don't have to walk around anymore, let's go to a place, I believe we should find some answers there." ”
"Where?"
Yan Hanze said in a deep voice, "Chu Mansion! ”
It was already completely dark, and the courtyard of the Chu Mansion had already turned on all the lights, since Chu Xiaolian lost it, the entire courtyard was lifeless, and there were not a few lights at night, which looked lifeless.
Today is unusual, the whole courtyard is illuminated as daylight, and the lobby is also brightly lit.
Chu Yuanjiang sat solemnly in the master's seat, while Shen Muwan sat on the other side's main seat, his face was also gloomy, and he was playing with the jade bone fan in his hand.
Yan Hanze sat on the first chair next to her, staring coldly at a kneeling figure in the middle of the hall.
Shen Muwan's eyes sank, her body leaned forward, and immediately an invisible coercion pressed on the kneeling person.
The man's head, which was already bowed, was even lower to the dust at this time.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Although Shen Muwan's voice was not loud, it sounded like a chill from the bottom of my heart, "Don't think that we don't know what you do, do you want me to tell you the same, but if I say it, your fate will be very miserable."
And aren't you worried about Miss Chu's safety? The sooner you tell the truth, the sooner we can get her out, don't you understand? She's in danger, what's the point of you keeping that insignificant secret? ”
The kneeling man's body trembled for a moment, and finally his head hit the ground, "I said! ”
