C5 To Explore the Luo Mansion Again

Medicinal families were different from martial families, they could jump out of their territories and open up their own branches and leaves at will. Moreover, no one would reject them, on the contrary, they would be treated as important guests by the local powers, receiving preferential treatment, and this was the way Xiao Family.

"?"

Now that the Luo Family was almost severed from the Ningyang branch, if Xiao Family was dragged in again, if these two great medicinal pellet families were to sin at the same time, it was likely that even the princess of Pine Wind would not be able to handle it.

"?"

How could Hong Yang not know the reasoning behind this? As a constable, he had a clue but was unable to investigate it, which made him feel helpless. He could only sigh in his heart and silently leave.

"?"

Actually, Hong Yang had another thing on his mind that confused him, but he resisted the urge to ask.

"?"

Capturing thieves was the responsibility of the constable, but why did Gu Changdong ask them to find the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao instead of collecting clues? Could it be that a constable who had been a constable for many years could not compare to a group of Black Armoured Army warriors?

"?"

Countless thoughts ran through Hong Yang's mind as they left the City Lord's Mansion. Fang Qian and the others who were outside the gates of the residence were already fully equipped and ready to go.

"?"

Seeing Hong Yang slowly approaching, the resentment in Fang Qian's heart rose, "Hong Yang, the City Lord has set a deadline of three days, yet you are wasting your time here. If you miss your job, you can be punished, but you better not implicate the rest of the brothers. "

"?"

Hong Yang scoffed at Fang Qian's rebuke, not even bothering to give him a second glance. He walked to the front of the crowd and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He paced back and forth as if he was talking to himself, "Luo Qingyao, eighteen years old. Some of the assassins didn't know, but they were sure that if they wanted to kill Luo Qingyao, it would be easy. "Now that Luo Qingyaosheng is dead, I can't even see her corpse …"

"?"

"Enough!"

"?"

Fang Qian interrupted Hong Yang, "We all know that when you say these things, there is no need for you to repeat them again. Time is limited. Why don't you hurry up and find them?"

"?"

"Shut up!"

"?"

Hong Yang turned around and shouted angrily. He stared at Fang Qian and said with a terrifying gaze, "If you don't want to listen, then scram."

"?"

Fang Qian's lips quivered. He opened his mouth but no words came out. His face turned red again.

"?"

Han Qing laughed, tilted his head and teased the sky, "I remember once when I went out of the city to hunt with the City Lord, I didn't find any prey for a long time. Luckily, I heard a wild chicken crowing in the grass, otherwise I would have left empty-handed."

"?"

"Han Qing!" "You …"

"?"

Fang Qian was beyond furious. With a "pa" sound, he pressed the handle of his sword into his palm.

"?"

"Alright, alright, let's not argue anymore. We don't have any leads right now, and Constable Hong has always been meticulous in his thoughts. Let's hear what he has to say."

"?"

Geng Zhong furrowed his brows, persuading him from the side.

"?"

Hong Yang coldly glanced at Fang Qian and continued, "According to the autopsy results, the time of death is less than four hours. With this kind of calculation, the murder case happened right before the end of time. At that time, there were very few people entering and exiting the Ningyang. If Luo Qingyao were to leave the Ningyang alone, she would definitely be seen by the city guards. From what I have heard, none of the four city guards have seen Luo Qingyao. Which means that Luo Qingyao did not leave the city by herself, and furthermore, she has not left the city either. "

"?"

"Yes."

"?"

Han Qing and the rest nodded in thought.

"?"

Hong Yang continued, "Let's assume the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao. Firstly, she was kidnapped by a killer. With the strength of an assassin, it was easy for them to take Luo Qingyao away without anyone noticing. If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. However, judging from the way the killer did things, he didn't seem to have that reason. Second, Luo Qingyao did not leave the Luo Residence, but hid somewhere within. He had escaped this calamity. But if everyone was killed in an instant, how could she live a single life? This was very puzzling. Destroyed by the body. I don't think that's possible. If he destroyed the corpse, then why was it only Luo Qingyao? "Therefore, I think the second possibility is the most likely. Of course, it's only a possibility. Which one of you would be willing to search the Luo Residence with me again?"

"?"

"I'll go."

"?"

"Me!"

"?"

"I'll go too."

"?"

Han Qing, Geng Zhong, and Gong Liang responded one by one, while only Fang Qian kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"?"

Hong Yang smiled and nodded. "We don't need that many people. I was just assuming that Luo Qingyao escaped from the Luo Mansion. How about this, constable Han and constable Geng, you two come with me." Constable Gong, you can use the Luo Residence as the center to look around for clues. "

"?"

No one had any objections and immediately led their men to separate themselves into two.

"?"

The Luo Residence was huge, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere. There were gardens and bridges everywhere, and there were more than a hundred different kinds of houses.

"?"

Hong Yang first brought people to search Luo Qingyao's embroidery boudoir, but to no avail. However, from the looks of the scene, it seemed that Luo Qingyao wasn't in her room that night. Because from the ashes in the furnace, it could be judged to be ordinary charcoal. According to his experience, in order to increase the temperature of the room, this kind of charcoal would be used in a lady's room. Before the Miss went back to her room, it would be replaced with a special type of charcoal, which meant that Luo Qingyao hadn't come back yet but was in another room.

"?"

Following that, Hong Yang and the others searched the residence, the study room, the treasury, the tea room, and the living room, but they still couldn't find anything.

"?"

The three constable met in front of a pond in the Luo Mansion. Due to the cold weather, the pond had long been frozen and there was still a layer of snow on the surface of the ice. Han Qing sucked in a mouthful of teeth as he said, "Fuck, we just need to demolish the house. Where did Miss Luo Family hide?"

"?"

Geng Zhong muttered to himself irresolutely, "Maybe he really was kidnapped by an assassin."

"?"

Han Qing was disdainful, "With a cultivation as high as an assassin, there's no need to cause such a ruckus even if you want to rape her. You can just secretly take Luo Qingyao away."

"?"

"Then …" Geng Zhong looked at Hong Yang.

"?"

At this moment, Hong Yang didn't have any good idea, because the search was absolutely meticulous. Under the bed, in the cabinet, on the beams, on the floor, and everywhere else, he had to knock to prevent missing out the secret compartment.

"?"

Just as the three were deep in thought, a subordinate suddenly ran over and gasped for breath, "Three esteemed heads, the city lord has ordered us to leave the Luo Mansion immediately. The Black Armoured Army will take over this place and the Luo Mansion will be sealed.

"?"

Han Qing glared at him. "What does City Lord mean?! I anxiously told us to find Luo Qingyao and not go there. The Black Armoured Army is used for war, these kinds of thin work like stripping cocoons to fish for needles, did they do it already!? "

"?"

Geng Zhong couldn't help but poke Han Qing's waist and say, "Forget it, the Mayor has his reasons for making this decision." Moreover, Black Armoured Army is just a place to be looked after, we, the pawns, just need to follow orders. "

"?"

Han Qing shook his head, "I'm not talking about this place. Searching for the killer's clues should have been left to us men. I see that the Mayor is a bit distracted today."

"?"

Hong Yang raised his eyes to look at Han Qing, expressing his agreement with him.

"?"

Geng Zhong waved his hands and said, "Ok, got it. You may leave now."

"?"

After his subordinate left, Geng Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Constable Han, this is actually good for us too. If something happens, we can just push it to Black Armoured Army. Besides, that cultivation is unfathomable. Even if we find some clues, what can we do? I might even lose my life. "

"?"

Hearing this, Han Qing swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything.
