The house is simple and tidy, with tables, chairs and pans readily available.
The most eye-catching thing was the big pot on the stove. There was something cooking in it, and it was still making a "gud-dong-dong" sound.
There is a fire burning in the stove, dishes and chopsticks on the table, and vegetables piled in the corner - all signs indicate that someone lives here and has never left.
"There is still something cooking in the pot, where did the people go?" Jiang Chen followed Chi Yang to the stove and carefully opened the lid of the pot. The pungent smell that hit his face made him frown, "It smells It doesn’t look very tasty.”
After the heat dissipated, he saw clearly what was being cooked in the pot. It was a ball of yellow and green paste, and the shapes of vegetables and meat could be vaguely seen. However, because it had been cooked for too long, it was completely mushy. Very unappetizing.
"He feeds Mrs. Jia this kind of food?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but worry about Mrs. Jia.
After all, she was a pampered young lady. She dropped everything and ran away with her lover just for a moment. How could she get used to such a miserable life after she calmed down.
Chiyang was worried about another point. After looking around the room, he had a look of doubt on his face: "The food has been cooked, why did he leave? Could it be that he noticed our arrival in advance?"
As the leading expert in Xiliao City, Chiyang is confident enough in his own perception.
Except for a very small number of monks with special magical powers, it is difficult for anyone to detect Chiyang before he senses him.
Before he entered, he had indeed not noticed any hidden aura in the house.
His eyes fell on the face of the girl in green clothes, with a look of inquiry.
Even if his sixth-level "blood-moving" perception is not as good as that of the mysterious chopstick master, the peach blossom assassin in front of him is the seventh-level "Xuan Gang" of the "upper three realms". He is one of the best people in the world, and it is impossible for him to lose. Give it to the other party?
The girl in green clothes stepped aside and covered her mouth and nose with her hands when Jiang Chen opened the lid of the pot. Sensing Chiyang's gaze, she shook her head: "There was no one in the room."
"Maybe he went out temporarily because of something!" Jiang Chen put down the lid of the pot, "Let's look around to see if there are any other clues."
The three of them split up to search.
Jiang Chen followed Chi Yang and rummaged through the water tanks, low cabinets, and broken boxes in the house, his expression gradually becoming ugly.
"I may have guessed wrong." Jiang Chen stared at the old wooden box with a low tone, "Mrs. Jia may not live here."
Chi Yang turned to look at him in confusion: "How can you see it?"
"There are all pots and pans here, and there is not a single thing belonging to women, especially a mirror." Jiang Chen recalled Miss Gan's face and sighed in a low voice, "It is impossible for a beautiful woman like Mrs. Jia not to look in the mirror every day. …”
Chiyang also frowned, and the scars on his face twisted together. "This is troublesome..."
"Come and take a look at this place!" The voice of a girl in green clothes came from outside the house.
Chiyang straightened up and strode out.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind.
The two of them came behind the girl in green clothes and saw the scene where she was pointing. Even though they were under the midday sun, they couldn't help but feel a cold feeling behind them——
It was a naturally formed crater, covered by a boulder and mostly in shadow.
But just by the scattered limbs exposed at the edge of the shadow, it is not difficult for people to guess the scene inside.
At first glance, one can count at least a dozen corpses, and more are piled deep in the pit, randomly placed like debris. The densely packed limbs make people's scalp numb.
"Mrs. Jia may be in there." The tone of the girl in green clothes also lost its original lightness and agility, and she stated in a monotonous and indifferent tone, "Go and look for it, it may not be complete. You need to take her before the sun goes down." Spell it out.”
Jiang Chen froze on the spot and took no action.
When he thought about having to find the part that belonged to Mrs. Jia among so many corpses, he couldn't help but shudder, and then his stomach cramped.
The girl in green clothes didn't urge him, she just turned and walked away.
After a while, Chiyang let out a long sigh and said, "Let me go over and take a look."
With heavy steps, he climbed into the pit along the slope, endured the overwhelming stench, and lowered his head to carefully identify the corpses.
Based on the clothes and physical characteristics, you can probably identify men, women, young children, and the elderly... If you want to find Mrs. Jia more accurately, you can only judge from the clothing and fabrics.
Mrs. Jia has a noble status and pays attention to the quality of life. Her clothes and accessories must be the most exquisite among them...
"No, no..." Jiang Chen murmured in a low voice, tapping his forehead with the knuckles of his right hand, "It shouldn't be like this..."
The girl in green clothes walked around the fence beside the wooden house, then came back behind him and asked, "What do you think is wrong?"
Jiang Chen hadn't yet realized that this was the moment when he was the closest to the Peach Blossom Assassin alone. He was still slapping his forehead, frowning and thinking: "The development of the whole thing cannot be connected at all."
"Because Mrs. Jia died too easily?"
"That monster worked so hard to hide it from everyone and bring Mrs. Jia here. If he could kill her easily..."
"You're wrong." The girl in green clothes walked leisurely in front of him, "This can't be considered a 'ton of hardships'. If the monster is so skilled and abducting Mrs. Jia is just a matter of convenience, then the witnesses It doesn’t take much effort to kill her! Mrs. Jia is equal to the whole world to Fourth Master Jia, but for that monster, Mrs. Jia is just one of its many toys. Kill her when you are tired of playing with it, not because of her nobility What kind of special treatment do you get because of your beauty? It’s hard to accept, but it’s the truth!”
"No! No!" Jiang Chen shook his head violently, "This doesn't explain why there are two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table!"
"Two pairs of bowls and chopsticks..." The girl in green clothes recalled the furnishings in the wooden house, her eyes changed slightly, "It may have invited other guests."
Jiang Chen shook his head: "I can feel that the user of one of the bowls and chopsticks is Mrs. Jia!"
Listening to Jiang Chen's firm words, the originally empty eyes of the girl in green clothes seemed to be a little brighter and more lively: "So you still don't believe that Mrs. Jia is dead?"
She blinked twice and said, "Since your nose is very good, you might as well smell it. Where did Mrs. Jia go?"
"I……"
Jiang Chen was about to say that his perception couldn't be that precise and he could only roughly confirm that Mrs. Jia was moving around. But looking at the smiling face of the girl in front of him, he suddenly woke up, his thoughts returned to the real situation, and he immediately realized that something was wrong - he was alone at the moment, and he was only a few feet away from the Peach Blossom Assassin, while Chiyang was five or six feet away. Get out!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
——This young hero is so obsessed with tracking Mrs. Jia’s whereabouts that he ignores the dangers that are so close in reality!
Has the Peach Blossom Assassin been waiting for this moment for a long time?
