Chapter 193 Missing
Hum, bang, bang.
Hum, bang, bang.
The sound of the copper ring tapping on the wooden board continued for more than a quarter of an hour. The surrounding people were attracted by the sound and gathered around.
I saw four unfamiliar faces, two men and two women, knocking on the door in front of a house. An old woman in the crowd couldn't help but walked over curiously, "Hey, who are you? I heard the noise, and you all knocked on the door here. For most of the day, the people inside didn't open the door?”
Seeing so many people coming around, the person knocking on the door stopped.
“Auntie, my name is Liang Zhuang. I'm here to find my third brother. May I ask, auntie, does a girl named He Xiuxiu live in this house?”
The aunt nodded, "Yes, the girl who lives here is indeed named He Xiuxiu. What, she is a relative of yours?"
Everyone around looked at Liang Zhuang and the other two men and women with curiosity.
Liang Zhuang shook his head, "He Xiuxiu is not a relative of ours. She is a girl that my third brother knows. I wonder if Auntie knows where Miss He has gone. I have been knocking on the door for a long time and no one has come out."
“He Xiuxiu, I'm not very familiar with her. It seems I haven't seen her for a while.”
“It's been a long time since I've seen her.”
“The last time I saw her was about two months ago.”
Liang Zhuang did not expect that after asking around, no one knew where He Xiuxiu had gone, and no one seemed to have any impression of her.
According to the aunt, He Xiuxiu is not a local, but came here half a year ago.
I heard that she was an orphan. She originally came to seek refuge with her cousin who was doing business in Kyoto, but for some reason she couldn't find anyone after she came to Kyoto.
With no choice but to rent a house here, I thought that I could slowly look for relatives in the future.
Because she lives alone, she usually lives in seclusion and is just acquaintances with most of her neighbors.
So these onlookers didn't know where she went at this time.
Liangzhuang's second brother frowned, anxious and helpless, "Brother, what should I do? My third brother has been missing for more than a month. Where can I find him?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone present was surprised, "Your third brother is missing. What happened?"
Liang Zhuang was still hesitating whether he should say it or not.
It was his wife who said, "How long has this happened? Why are you still hiding it? It's important to find your third brother."
Liang Zhuang didn't have any good solution, so he had to sigh and tell the story.
Liang Bing, the third son of the Liang family, met He Xiuxiu three months ago, and the two have been on good terms.
Some time ago, the family discovered that Liang Bing was missing. After asking around, the person who last saw him said that he probably came to see this Miss He.
So Liang Zhuang came over with his wife and second brother.
I just didn't expect that even He Xiuxiu is missing now.
Liang Zhuang asked around, but no one noticed whether Liang Bing had been here.
When the aunt heard about this, she frowned and said, "He Xiuxiu has always been alone and has no relatives or friends in the capital. It is expected that she will not be away from home for a long time. I don't know if something happened."
Everyone was talking about this matter. Some people suggested that Liang Zhuang look elsewhere, while others asked him to climb over the wall and enter the house to see if He Xiuxiu no longer lived here.
Liang Zhuang discussed it with his family and decided to climb over the wall to take a look.
Just looked around the wall and gave up.
The wall is too high and they can't climb up.
Just when I was hesitating whether to borrow a ladder from someone nearby or break down the door and go in, I found a young Taoist nun coming.
Ling Chu also didn't expect that as soon as he got off the carriage, he would see a bunch of people gathered in front of a house.
What surprised her even more was that when the ghost saw the two men and two women in the crowd, he immediately floated over crying.
After listening, I found out that those people were the male puppet's family members.
Liang Bing's ghost did not expect that his family members would find him here. He was so excited that he burst into tears. Unfortunately, no one else could see him except Ling Chu.
Liang Zhuang was a little surprised when he saw Ling Chu walking straight towards here, "I don't know what brings you here, but you... know Miss He?"
Lingchu shook his head, "I don't know Miss He, but I just happened to be passing by nearby and noticed a yin energy here, so I came to take a look."
This statement is naturally false. The reason why she appears here is because Liang Bing's ghost brought her here.
This is not the right thing to say, so she made such an excuse.
Yin Qi?
The faces of the people present suddenly changed.
The Liang family members felt uneasy, "Xiangu, what kind of yin energy is this?"
Ling Chu glanced at them and knew that they actually understood, but subconsciously did not want to believe it.
“Nature is the yin energy formed after death.”
“Why are there dead people? This…”
Liangzhuang's second brother interrupted him hastily, "Brother, quickly dismantle this door and go in and take a look. The third brother has been missing for so long, I don't know if it is..."
He wanted to say that he didn't know if he was dead, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Liang Zhuang had already understood what he said, and turned around to ask the onlookers to borrow a ladder.
When Ling Chu saw him retreating, he immediately stepped forward, took out a small hammer and smashed the door!
There was a loud bang, which startled everyone.
Liang Zhuang turned around and found that the two doors he had been knocking on for a long time were lying on the ground.
Everyone was looking at the door that had fallen to the ground in surprise, when suddenly an angry shout came from behind, "Who are you, and why are you gathering here?"
Ning Chuyi looked at the group of people in front of him with a cold face. He just took over a case a few days ago, and his people found some clues, so he brought people here today.
Unexpectedly, I saw so many people surrounding the house and even demolished the door.
Hearing the roar, everyone turned around.
Seeing a group of Jinyi guards glaring at them fiercely, they all immediately knelt down with their legs and feet weak.
These people all knelt down, revealing a figure standing at the back.
Ning Chuyi raised his eyebrows.
Ling Chu also looked surprised when he saw him.
Looking around, he found that Liangzhuang and the others were all kneeling down except for the royal guards.
She was the only one left standing.
Seeing Liang Zhuang and the others looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Chu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Forget it, she'd better stop being special.
He bent his legs and was about to kneel down.
Ning Chuyi had already walked over quickly and said expressionlessly, "Stand still."
This body is so thin that a gust of wind can blow it away, but don't faint in front of him.
Ling Chu was stunned for a moment and had to bend his knees and said, "I've seen you, sir."
Ning Chuyi let go of her hand and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Why are you here?"
Following her back, she reached the empty door.
It turned out that the noise I heard just now was her banging on the door.
Lingchu said casually, "I happened to be passing by nearby and noticed a gloomy air floating over this house, so I came to take a look."
