"Lang Xin? Why don't you just sit on the stone over there?"
Langwen pointed aside.
The lone stone stood quietly in the rain, no one in sight.
Lang Linjie looked around for a week and knew that something was not good. She grabbed Langwen's collar and asked, "Where is Langxin!"
————
Langwen pointed at the boulder and stuttered for a moment, "She, she, she should be there. We helped her sit there."
Others nodded in agreement.
"Then Langhui goes to find you, senior sister, and we will check the situation under the cliff here..."
"Damn it!" Lang Linjie pushed Lang Wen to the ground, "How dare you abduct someone in front of me! I'm so impatient!"
"The same goes for you. You didn't notice that you were missing. You still need Miao to remind you."
Lang Hui stepped forward to help Lang Wen up, "Senior sister, calm down, maybe Lang Xin can't bear this. Go get some fresh air. We'll go look for her right away."
"Stop!" Lang Linyi called to everyone, "You are not allowed to act alone."
If she hadn't heard the explanation of the disappearance case from Shui Miaomiao, Lang Linyi would not have been anxious, but now Lang Linyi couldn't take risks.
Jiuchengqiu pulled Shui Miaomiao, "You are not allowed to leave me from now on."
"I'm wearing men's clothing."
Shui Miaomiao pretended to be relaxed, but it had no effect at all. The strange corpses under the cliff were enough to make people's hair stand on end.
There is Langxin who disappeared quietly.
"We are going to the town government office to find out how many people are missing."
Shui Miaomiao suggested, after all, she really couldn't be of much help here.
"I'll take you back." Jian Chu walked over.
"Pay attention to safety." Lang Linyi glanced at Shui Miaomiao, took out the two scimitars left in her waist, and led Langhui and the others towards the boulder. She planned to look around, maybe Lang Xin really Just went for a walk?
······
In the town official office, the mayor, Shan Zhaowei, is a lean old man. He no longer looks like he was as timid as he was yesterday, falling after taking a few steps.
He sat at the top, playing with a purple clay pot, and listened to Jiucheng Qiu's explanation of his purpose. He didn't mean to be embarrassed. He nodded and let the new master get the file.
"It records the names, ages, and family circumstances of the five missing women. You can read it slowly, but it is a rule that they cannot be taken out of the town office. Please don't blame them."
"Only five people?" Shui Miaomiao looked at the thin file and frowned.
"Naturally, there were only five families who reported the crime, and they have recorded everything in detail. When they were found missing, what they were doing before disappearing, whether there was any enmity, etc., they were all checked one by one."
"That means some people may not come to report the crime, right?"
"possible."
"Mayor, you should send someone to look under the cliff. There are always some corpses whose appearance and identity can be identified." Shui Miaomiao suggested.
Shan Zhaowei played with the purple clay pot and seemed not to hear.
"Mayor?"
Shui Miaomiao stared at Shan Zhaowei.
Shan Zhaowei finally raised his head, "What did you just say, monk? Oh, check, we must check, but it's too dangerous on a rainy day. It's getting late, so we have to ensure the safety of those guards. Those outside the town should have nothing to do with the disappearance case that everyone from the Ancient Immortal Sect wants to investigate."
"Only five people are missing in Shanle Town. Those monks outside the town said that they may have lost their footing and fell off a cliff while passing through this place..."
Shui Miaomiao finally figured it out.
This Shan Zhaowei seems to be easy to talk to and responsive to requests, but in fact he is very slippery and doesn't want to get into anything.
"The file is here, please read it slowly, I won't disturb you."
Shan Zhaowei didn't give Shui Miaomiao a chance to speak, so he summoned the maid and ordered, "The tea will be served, don't neglect it."
"We should really call Lang Linyi." Shui Miaomiao looked at Shan Zhaowei's back and made a face.
Under the rules, the name of the Ancient Immortal Sect is completely inferior to the unruly Kuanquan Sect.
"Let's see what the file says first."
After Shan Zhaowei's people around him dispersed, leaving only one maid, Jian Chu, who had been keeping half of his body in the rain outside the house, walked in, took the file in Jiuchong Qiu's hand, and looked at the ten lines.
Shui Miaomiao grabbed the Nine-fold Vengeance who wanted to take back the file.
At this time, don't make trouble over trivial matters.
"What, did you find anything?"
"The findings are not significant." Jian Chu closed the file and threw it back to Nine Chou, "The five missing girls have no connection with each other. If we have to say something in common, they are all under a hundred years old."
What is the concept of being under a hundred years old in the world of gods and demons? It is basically equivalent to being underage.
"Who did it?" Jiucheng Qiu looked at the file angrily, "Everything written is useless."
"Okay." Jian Chu walked towards Shui Miaomiao, "It's really getting late now. I'll take Sanshui and you back to the inn first."
"Who needs it from you?"
Jiuchengqiu threw the file to the ground, pulled Shui Miaomiao and walked out.
"Hey! You both have read the file, so let me take a look too!"
This time, Jiuchongqiu and Jian Chu had a tacit understanding. They were focused on escorting Shui Miaomiao back to Tongju Inn safely and then locking the door to the room.
"Is the person gone?"
In the study, Shan Zhaowei was talking to his confidant Shan Peng.
Shan Peng nodded.
Shan Zhaowei put down the purple clay pot in his hand, showing a hint of panic, "Quick, take a few people to see if there are really that many corpses under the cliff they said."
"What if so?"
"Destroy corpses and eliminate traces! Do you still need me to teach you?" Shan Zhaowei pointed at Shan Peng and said angrily, "If something like this happens within my jurisdiction, can I still keep my position as mayor? They destroyed the body and let them report it, but there was no evidence..."
"It won't be fun if you do this. What's the point of me wearing men's clothes?"
Shui Miaomiao's words of protest were swallowed up by the night. No matter how much she didn't want to, she was 'twisted' back to Tongju Inn.
Back at the inn, Jian Chu said he was going to help Lang Linjie find Lang Xin and left.
At the inn that Jian Chu had booked, there were only two customers left, Shui Miaomiao and Jiuchong Qiu.
"Is this how you use it?"
Sitting on the bed, Shui Miaomiao hugged the pillow, sulking and glaring at Jiuxianqiu who was sitting at the table.
"There are more than 20 lives left. Why don't you go check it out and just stay here guarding me?"
Jiuchengqiu re-tied the interception belt on his hands without raising his head, "The sect's mission we have is to investigate the five missing girls in Shanle Town. If it is determined that the corpse under the cliff is related to the disappearance case, I can definitely Report it back to the sect immediately, this is something beyond our control, don’t expect that you can find out the evildoer, not every time you will be as lucky as in the Peach Blossom Spring."
Shui Miaomiao took a deep breath. She had no intention of becoming a hero. She just wanted to get rid of the Ninefold Vengeance. It seemed that the provoking method was useless.
Ever since he was seriously injured while trying to save a girl with a bow tie in the last episode of Jiuchengqiu, he had been given a good beating by Xian Yanxianzun.
Xianyan Xianzun is right.
He cannot be so reckless, he has not yet proven their mistakes and ignorance to the world.
