Chapter 69: Another Child Goes Missing
Shan Ying was confused, but when she saw Qi Yunyu, why did she suddenly have a clue?
Xie Congnan hadn't come back from the imperial city, so Xue Jiaojiao went to find Qi Xiao, who was still in the imperial city.
"Senior Brother Qi."
Qi Xiao turned around.
"In this world, is there a way to get rid of the evil and evil that makes people sick?"
Shan Ying, who chased after her, was stunned when she heard this.
Qi Xiao twisted his eyebrows and said, "Yes, but I don't know very well." β
Xue Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, it would be okay to have it, and she said that she had said her conjecture.
"I'm just guessing, maybe it's a bit presumptuous, so I'll tell you two, I just observed the queen's attitude towards the prince, and I care very much, and the prince is suffering from illness.
When I lived in the palace, I also heard the palace people talking about the relationship between the queen and the princess, and I thought about the scene of meeting the queen for the first time, when the queen mentioned the expression of the concubine and the princess, it seemed a little too much, I was a little suspicious, but there was no definite evidence. β
After saying this, Qi Xiao and Shan Ying were stunned.
This guess was too shocking, but Qi Xiao suddenly took out the map.
He looked at the location of the palace, where the child had been taken captive, and went around the palace, leaving only a gap.
He thought it was strange before, but if Xue Jiaojiao's guess was added, it seemed to make sense.
"Is the relationship between the queen and the concubine really so bad?" Qi Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Shan Ying didn't know that she had just come to her senses, and in the Xuanwu Kingdom, she didn't have much contact with Wen Yunsu, and was only familiar with Qi Xuan.
"It's hard to say, so I didn't tell anyone else, I just wanted my senior brother to help me verify this guess."
Qi Xiao straightened his expression, "Yes, as long as it's not too much." β
The palace is indeed a place that is easy to overlook, what if someone thinks that the most dangerous place is the safest?
"If you do these things in the palace and don't let people find out, then you can only take the emperor's personal belongings, so the emperor didn't notice it."
Shan Ying sighed after hearing this, "It's really possible, and the emperor has always been a negligent character, and he hasn't changed for thousands of years." β
While they were talking, someone from the Demon Hunt Division came to deliver a message.
"There are children missing."
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all followed the man over.
The women in the street cried so much that they grabbed the ground in the dark, and the people next to them came up to comfort them, but to no avail.
"My child, my childβ"
The Demon Hunter went over to support the woman, but was pushed away again.
A few of them could only be in a hurry, and the child disappeared in front of their eyes just now.
This time was the moment they were closest, and Xue Jiaojiao ran over there and stared at it for a long time.
There is still no magic circle left, how the hell did the man transfer the child out of thin air.
Qi Xiao stepped forward to check the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual.
Xie Congnan, who received the news, also rushed back, and the people from the Demon Hunt Division finally brought the woman back to the Demon Hunt Division to ask.
When the woman had cried enough, she began to talk about the situation, and slowly dismantled it in combination with what the Demon Hunter had observed beside her.
Xie Congnan shook his head, "There is no magic circle left, what did you rely on to take the child away?" β
Xu Yuzhi looked at the woman, "Does your child have anything new to get recently?" There was no such thing as before. β
The woman paused for a moment, recalling it carefully.
"Something new?" The woman racked her brains and thought.
Everyone else was waiting for her to say it.
The woman suddenly looked up, "There is nothing else except the peace rope that I went to the temple last month to ask for." β
"Peace rope?"
The woman nodded, "If there are children in the house, don't they all go and ask for a lighted peace rope to keep them safe?" β
After finishing speaking, the woman looked at the people who were thinking with their eyes down, "Immortal elders, can my child be retrieved?" If I can't find it, what should I do, I'm just this child. β
"Don't worry, we'll tell you when we find it." The people of the Demon Hunt Division comforted them and sent them out.
"Let's check if the other kids have ever taken a safety rope?" Qi Xiao asked Xie Congnan.
Xie Congnan nodded.
If there is no magic circle, it can only be that the child was taken away through some kind of medium, and what the woman said just now is very likely that the medium is the peace rope.
The others quickly moved and went to ask the family of the person whose child had gone missing, and finally got the exact information.
Those missing children do wear safety ropes on their hands, these are all bought by parents for a good meaning, but they didn't expect it to become a life talisman.
"If you check that the four or five-year-old children are wearing safety ropes, they all go and tell those people to take them off quickly."
Either way, we can't let our children go missing anymore.
The Monster Hunting Division, who received the order, hurriedly went to do it.
Qi Xiao walked over and whispered Xue Jiaojiao's guess to Xie Congnan, and Xie Congnan raised his eyebrows.
Xie Congnan walked to Xue Jiaojiao's side and called her over.
"Are you sure?" Xie Congnan asked bluntly.
Xue Jiaojiao replied frankly: "I'm not sure, I don't have evidence to prove it, I just asked Senior Brother Qi if there is a way to get rid of the pain." β
Xie Congnan thought about it, there is this kind of method, which is more yin and evil, and it is not allowed by the righteous path.
If it is really related to Wen Yunsu, then the forty children now, will they be hidden in the palace?
The palace is not easy for them to search.
Qi Xuan's side had to make sense first, but unfortunately they had no evidence.
If there is evidence, just put it in front of Qi Xuan.
Xue Jiaojiao was also worried about this, she put this conjecture aside first, and began to check along the peace rope.
The next day they went to the temples and asked where they had gotten the rope.
The host was still at a loss, this safety rope was all brought in through one channel, why did something suddenly happen?
"These things are all sold by dealers in the south of the city." The host's face turned red.
The red rope, which cost less than a few copper plates, directly multiplied them several times and sold them.
"Where does the trafficker live?"
The host said a place name.
Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying went over there and knocked at the door, but no one answered.
The resident who heard the movement next to him came out, "No one has come back from his house for a long time, so he shouldn't be at home." β
Xue Jiaojiao put down her hand and made a look at Shan Ying.
The two of them went around in a circle, jumped onto the roof of the dealer's house in the south of the city, and then entered the small courtyard.
The door was closed, Xue Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and gently pushed it, and a rotten stench came out.
"Gross-" Xue Jiaojiao covered her mouth.
I didn't notice it for a while, and I was directly filled with the stench in my nasal cavity.
Shan Ying opened the door, only to see a corpse lying horizontally inside, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies.
Seeing this scene, Shan Ying also pinched her nose and almost threw up.
Xue Jiaojiao came to her senses and took a few steps back.
The corpse may be a trafficker in the south of the city.
"Call someone."
