Chapter 162 Night Detective
Sang Ying here had already made plans for a night outing, and Jimo Qing, who had just finished handling trivial matters over there, happened to ask about her new sister with her servants.
"She is looking for news related to Wanxiang Mountain?" Jimo Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard the servant's reply.
I didn't expect that Sang Ying would become interested in Wanxiang Mountain.
The person who replied lowered his head respectfully: "Sir, do you need us to pay more attention to Miss Sang Ying?"
"No need." Jimo Qing didn't think she would do anything that would harm the Jimo family. Maybe it was just a whim. "I'm still a little busy these days, so I'll let her do it by herself. When I'm free, I can accompany her."
She takes a nice stroll around Rizhao City."
It is also a good way to let the other party know that there is not only Wanxiang Mountain in this city, but also many interesting places.
This news not only reached the ears of Jimo Qing, but the head of the Jimo family naturally did not miss it either.
Completely opposite to Jimo Qing's indifference, the Jimo family leader had something wrong with his character.
"I remember that an ancestor once left a last word, indicating that there is a treasure left by him on Wanxiang Mountain. As long as someone cracks his formation, he can get this treasure, right?" The head of the Jimo family turned to ask his Taoist companion.
Fu Yinqiu, as the wife of the family head, had naturally heard of these last words.
It's just that I don't know how many tribesmen who are good at formations have tried it, and there are also some who have cracked the formations, but in the end they all got nothing.
Therefore, these last words have long been heard as a joke, and the direct descendants of the Jimo family basically believe that the elder made it up to deceive the younger generation.
Now that the head of the Jimo family mentioned it, Fu Yinqiu was stunned for a while before he remembered it.
Seeing that her husband had a strange expression, she smiled and said, "Why, do you think Sang Ying is looking for that so-called treasure?"
"That's not true." The head of the Jimo family shook his head, "We never dare to tell anyone about our ancestors' last words. Sang Ying definitely doesn't know about it now, but I think she should have discovered something on the mountain."
The head of the Jimo family spoke seriously, arousing Fu Yinqiu's curiosity: "Then what are you going to do? Are you not going to let Sang Ying continue to investigate?"
He chuckled: "Of course I'm willing to let her investigate. What if she really finds some treasure? In the eyes of outsiders, this child already belongs to our family. If she can really find something, it will not be in vain for her ancestors."
It’s a great arrangement.”
Fu Yinqiu patted her husband, and the couple's chatter quickly disappeared into the night wind.
Sang Ying, who was being watched by many people, didn't know it yet, but her actions had already been seen by others.
At this moment, she had just sent Yinhuan away, left a letter to Jimo Qing, and left the house with Jiang Zhuoxue and his entourage.
Jimo Qing discovered Sang Ying's summons immediately, but just lowered his head and smiled, and did not do anything more.
Let her explore this Rizhao City on her own!
During the day, Sang Ying made some secrets to find out where the woman lived. She lived in the famous Mortal District of Rizhao City.
There were many guards patrolling that area at night, so Sang Ying tried her best to find the door as quietly as possible.
It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in the woman's house, and the woman's long cries came from the house, full of worry for her son.
Sang Ying thought for a moment, transformed herself into the guard she had seen that day, and then took the initiative to knock on the door.
"Who? Is it Daliu?!" The woman's hopeful voice came immediately.
Sang Ying paused, and when she spoke, it was a man's voice: "Madam, I am the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and I came here specifically to investigate your son's matter."
The woman had already regarded the city lord's mansion as the last straw. She couldn't care so much at the moment and hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Sang Ying saw that her eyes were extremely red and swollen, her complexion was haggard, and her clothes were wrinkled. She was afraid that she hadn't taken good care of herself because of her son's affairs.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly, and I'll pour you some water!" The woman quickly welcomed Sang Ying in and brought a clean cup. Unfortunately, the teapot was already dry and couldn't even pour a drop of water.
come out.
"I'm going to burn it right now!" she said in a panic.
Sang Ying raised her hand to stop her: "You don't have to be so polite. I just came to ask you something. Just tell the truth."
The woman was stopped, so she had to sit on the chair solemnly and began to talk to Sang Ying about her son.
The woman's son's surname is Chen Mingliu, and he is a boy who works in a restaurant in the city. He is sweet-talking and hard-working. He usually makes friends with people and never offends them.
I go to work every morning and go home at night, and don’t run out much.
When he went to Wanxiang Mountain, it was because the owner of the restaurant had a happy event, so he was given half a day off. When he learned that the Tayao flowers were blooming on the mountain, he accepted the friend's invitation and the two of them went together.
As a result, Chen Liu got separated from his friend because there were too many people. After his friend returned home, he came to ask about Aunt Chen, and the two of them learned that Chen Liu had never returned home.
Probably thinking that Chen Liu had disappeared after all at his invitation, the friend quickly took people with Mrs. Chen to search Wanxiang Mountain.
But after two days passed and there was still no sign of anyone, Aunt Chen had no choice but to go to the city lord's house to beg for help.
The guards at the City Lord's Mansion are all monks, and there are many ways to find people.
But no matter what method was used, the clues ended near the Tayao Flower Sea, where Chen Liu was separated from his friends.
"Sir, you must help me. I only have a child, Daliu, and his father passed away long ago. I raised him to this age, and I don't ask him to do anything big, as long as he does well...
..." As she said that, she was about to cry again.
Sang Ying quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, our City Lord's Mansion was originally designed for the people of Rizhao City. We will give you an explanation no matter what."
She is not sure now whether the other party is dead or alive.
After receiving her promise, the woman felt a little more at ease.
"Auntie, I wonder if you have ever heard of anyone else in the city who has lost someone?" Sang Ying suddenly asked.
After hearing this, Aunt Chen thought carefully and said: "It seems that there are really a few families. It is said that people disappeared for no apparent reason. However, they did not dare to go to the City Lord's Mansion. They just looked for it privately. They still don't know.
Where have people gone?"
This was originally just a casual question from Sang Ying, but when Aunt Chen said this, her heart sank suddenly.
It seems that there is no room for her to investigate on her own, and Jimo Qing must be informed of this matter earlier.
Before leaving, Sang Ying did not forget to take a piece of Chen Liu's clothes from Aunt Chen. Although she had already given her son's personal belongings to the guards of the city lord's palace, when Sang Ying asked for it again, Aunt Chen still asked for it.
Didn't refuse.
After leaving Aunt Chen's house, Sang Ying returned to her original appearance.
She performed a tracing technique on the rag of Chen Liu's clothes, and the piece of cloth lit up with a faint light. A butterfly made of light fluttered out and flew straight towards Wanxiang Mountain.
"Go and have a look!" Jiang Zhuoxue said.
As soon as Sang Ying stepped forward, she immediately chased after her.
