152. Clues
After a month, the courtyard of the clan school where Ji Yuanxi was originally located had been blocked, and after Ji Yuanxi's death, things got big, and the law enforcement team finally began to take care of things, but unfortunately it took over for a few days, and the case was taken over by the military.
This also made it easy for Mu Ning and them to enter the courtyard of the original school hall, although it was said that it was blocked, but no one was allowed to enter, only the symbolic yellow blockade belt.
It's easy to get in.
When I first came here, the trees were covered with snow like works of art and bloomed like pear blossoms, but after only a month, the place has changed, the fruit trees are still there, and the landscape that was created and the patients who live here are gone.
I can feel the sadness of the red eyes next to me.
"Who was in this courtyard at the time?"
Mu Ning asked, reminding her by the way that they were here to look for clues, and now was not the time to see things and think about people.
"Some servants, some maids, apart from them, almost no one has ever been here,"
Yin Hongyi said.
"After Ji Yuanxi suffered from a genetic disease, her family rarely came to visit her."
"There are still maids in this era?"
This is no longer capitalism, but a worse feudalism, Mu Ning showed a hateful expression on his face.
"Chaoge is very common, the outside world is not peaceful, there are countless disasters caused by extraordinary powers, those children are orphans who have been displaced outside, and coming to Chaoge to be a maid is a kind of adoption."
Hongyi said.
When asked again, she was not very familiar with those maids, and she didn't even know their names, so she couldn't count on them at all.
Looking around, Yin Hongyi thought of being the oldest woman in the clan academy at that time, she was in charge of the personnel deployment of this courtyard, after Ji Yuanxi's death, the old woman retired, went out to sing, and went home to care for the elderly.
"To know the fastest update she's out there, please type in your browser - go to new to view
Mu Ning said.
"Going out to her?"
Yin Hongyi felt incredible, this should be just a guess, the land of Great Xia is vast, and it doesn't seem to be a good idea to go out to find someone.
"There are only a few clues now, and if you give up, there is really no way."
Mu Ning said,
"Every guess must be practiced, otherwise how can there be gains?"
「…… You have a point."
Yin Hongyi thought for a while and agreed.
Just like in the wilderness, Mu Ning proposed to use an iceboat to rush through the tide of wolves and beasts, the idea sounds crazy, after all, the iceship is fragile, and the wolves are all steely.
As it turned out, it worked.
From the personnel of the clan school, Mu Ning and they found the approximate location of the old woman's hometown, it turned out to be in Yizhou, she was one of the survivors of the extraordinary disaster "Hanging Flood" that year, and under the touch of the earth's leylines composed of extraordinary elements, the torrent flooded her village.
Theoretically, her hometown should not exist.
"If the old man wants to return to his roots, he should still be in the Yizhou area, and as for the precise location, I just have a good means of perception."
Mu Ning now has a third-order truth sophistry, find an old woman, and make it easier through trial and error.
The most important thing is that he has a little mastiff in his hand whose ability is to track for thousands of miles, and the little guy's ability has not been fully activated, but it should be enough.
After all, it's just an ordinary old man with no extraordinary genes.
Taking the plane, they went out of Chaoge and spent a day arriving in Yizhou, Mu Ning didn't breathe the outside air for a long time, and he has been running back and forth between the two small worlds of Tiandu and Chaoge for a while.
There are still exotic beasts in some lofty mountains and mountains in Yizhou, and the elite Yizhou army is deployed here.
The next step is to rely on the little mastiff's thousands of miles to track.
At that time, its parents chased Mu Ning for nearly a thousand miles, hoping that it would not embarrass its parents.
"Can you feel it?"
Mu Ning and the others found a few of her daily utensils from the old woman's original residence in the clan school, and sniffed them for the little mastiff, triggering the conditions for thousands of miles of tracking.
"Woohoo!"
The little mastiff barked.
"Found it?"
Mu Ning was overjoyed.
The dog shook his head and said no.
Mu Ning: ......
Yizhou is so big, Mu Ning circled the approximate range on the map, and finally narrowed the distance to the size of a city with the fallacy of truth and sophistry.
Eventually, in a small county town in the city, the dog finally played its part and found the old woman's whereabouts.
It took them a day, from morning to night, the dog followed his extraordinary ability, and took Mu Ning and them in one direction.
Walk to a barren area that is getting farther and farther away from people.
Some pine trees grow here, the weeds are treated cleanly, and under the moonlight, the breeze blows, the pines and cypresses shake slightly, and the bleak atmosphere arises spontaneously.
This is a cemetery.
A cemetery that has been abandoned for a long time, many of which have been corroded by wind and rain, and it is in such a place that a new grave stands out.
The soil at the head of the grave is still new, and the flowers on the wreath are still bright.
The dog pointed there.
Mu Ning and Yin Hongyi were silent, they went to look at the tombstone, it was indeed the old woman's.
It turned out that she was dead.
The other tombstones depict people who died decades ago, most in the same year, in the same village, all of whom died in the extraordinary disaster of the "hanging flood" decades ago.
It seems that the old woman has indeed lost her leaves, and decades later, the survivors of the flood returned to her hometown, and a traveler from a foreign country returned to her relatives.
"When the old man left Chaoge, his body should be quite strong."
Yin Hongyi said,
"But she's dead."
"Well, our trail is broken."
Thinking about it this way, it is true that if the real culprit behind the scenes has been lurking in the Ji Clan Academy, paying attention to Yin Hongyi's movements, then she must erase her footprints before leaving.
The old woman who knows the origin and whereabouts of the girls is going to die.
Killed silently.
Yin Hongyi wanted to pay a little respect, this old woman had taken care of her before, but she died because of her.
The night was dark, the cemetery was clear, and a little moonlight fell through the shadows of the pines and cypresses, shining on these graves.
A lantern emerges in the night.
"Who?"
Mu Ning's pupils are powerful, but the dog's sense of hearing is more keen, it immediately noticed that someone was approaching, and reminded Mu Ning, Mu Ning turned his head and said.
It was a thin little girl, carrying a lantern, her clothes washed white, standing timidly in place.
Mu Ning saw that it was a little girl, and there was no movement in the false perception, and her face softened a little for the time being.
"What are you here for?"
"Are you also here to worship grandma?"
The girl finally said.
Mu Ning and Yin Hongyi looked at each other, both surprised that the old woman still had her granddaughter.
"Are you, Zhang Huixia's granddaughter?"
Mu Ning said, the sense of fallacy is already ringing, this is obviously wrong, all the relatives of the old man have died, and she has no granddaughter.
"No, no, I'm a child of the welfare home, Grandma Zhang has been sponsoring our welfare home, she is no longer there, we have made an appointment to take turns to keep a wake for Grandma Zhang......
The little girl is not very old, and it is really courageous to dare to come to the cemetery at this time, and she said with a crying voice.
