Chapter 393 The Jia Family
After eating, Li Hong took Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu and others to meet Mr. Liu.

Before the people from the Tiansi Bureau came, they had an issue with Magistrate Liu and said hello in advance.

When they rushed to the government office, they explained the situation to the gatekeeper, who then invited them into the main hall and asked them to wait in the main hall for a while.

The Yamen servant went to report the matter.

After a while, the Yamen servant hurried over from the backyard with Magistrate Liu.

As soon as Magistrate Liu came in, he smiled and clasped his fists, "Master Li, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Li Hong returned the salute, "Mr. Liu——"

Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "This must be Master Li. Who are these?"

His eyes fell on Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun.

Can't help a meal.

He could tell that Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun were dressed a little unusually, and looking at the aura around them, they didn't look like ordinary people from the Tiansi Bureau.

But to say that they are real people from the Tiansi Bureau seems to be a bit too young.

Fortunately, when Li Hong heard the words, he started to introduce, "I forgot to tell Mr. Liu before that this is my junior sister and the direct disciple of my master Zhang Zhenren who has just been accepted as Song Shiyun. The other one is Duke Dingguo. The prince of the mansion, thank you for your kindness."

Upon hearing these three words, Magistrate Liu's expression changed and he quickly raised his hands, "Is it the Crown Prince? Why did this alert the Crown Prince?"

Xie Rugu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I'm just bored and out for a walk. Magistrate Liu doesn't need to take me to heart."

Xie Rugu can say this.

Magistrate Liu did not dare to take it seriously, "The prince is really approachable——"

He smiled awkwardly and looked at Li Hong questioningly.

Li Hong explained: "Your Majesty, you are accompanying us to handle this matter this time. Master Liu, don't be nervous."

Prefect Liu: "..."

Isn't this stressful?

Their small place actually alarmed the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion...

If the matter is very easy to handle, then that's it.

If it is not easy to deal with, or there are other problems, how can Magistrate Liu afford it?

He felt that the people from the Tiansi Bureau were trying to trick him?
But Magistrate Liu only dared to think about this in his heart.

I would never dare to say it on the surface.

He could only laugh and said: "I see, that's it. I just didn't expect that the matter in our Jingchuan City would alarm the prince..."

Seeing that he was extremely nervous, Li Hong simply changed the subject, "Since we are here, let's talk about the case first, Magistrate Liu?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu forced his mind to shift to business matters, "Yes, let's talk about this case first."

Li Hong said: "In the file information, Mr. Liu said that the accident happened at a house in Jingchuan City?"

Magistrate Liu nodded, "Yes, that is the house of a local wealthy family."

The owner of that family is called Jia Yunping.

He is the most famous businessman in Jingchuan City. His property is spread all over Jingchuan City and he is very wealthy.

The relationship between Magistrate Liu and Jia Yunping is very good.

However, this was originally a private matter of Jia Yunping's family, and he should not have interfered.

But, things are a little strange now.

A while ago, Magistrate Liu received a report from someone saying that his wife and children were missing.

The person who reported it to the official was an ordinary street vendor.

His wife would occasionally go to the street to sell some embroidery to supplement the family income.

But not long ago, his wife took her children to sell embroidery on the street and never came back.

The small vendor took his family members and searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him, so he reported it to the police.

Magistrate Liu immediately asked the vendor's wife about the embroidery shops and routes she used to sell embroidery.

After getting the basic information, Magistrate Liu took people to Xiuzhuang to ask.

People at the Embroidery Village said that the vendor's wife, Mrs. Wu, did bring her child to sell embroidery products there.

When Wu was young, her family was very wealthy, and she learned to be good at embroidery.

Therefore, her embroidery is quite good, and the price of daily purchases is also very high.

The people at the embroidery village said that on that day, they gave Wu a lot of money and took away Wu's embroidery.

Mrs. Wu was very happy when she left.

After hearing the news, Magistrate Liu thought that maybe someone was interested in the money bag in Wu's hands.

However, Mrs. Wu did not leave the city. When she went out, it was during the day and she had a child with her. If she was robbed in the city, it would probably alarm many people.

But no one has ever seen it, and no one has reported it to the official.

Magistrate Liu felt that the possibility of Wu being robbed was very small.He personally took his people and searched carefully according to Mrs. Wu's usual route between home and embroidery village. He also asked passers-by if they had seen Ms. Wu.

However, people nearby said that they had never seen any woman passing by with a child.

This Wu family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

If it was just an ordinary missing person case, it would naturally have nothing to do with Jia Yunping's family.

The problem was that on the afternoon of the second day after Wu disappeared, someone came to the government office.

That person was a widowed old woman who lived near Jia Yunping's home.

The old woman said that as she got older, she was always feeling unwell and couldn't sleep well every day.

I often wake up in the middle of the night because of pain in my body.

The night before, just when she woke up from an uncomfortable sleep, she heard a scream coming from in front of her.

It was a woman's scream, and it was terrifying.

startled her.

She almost lost her breath.

However, the sound appeared once and then stopped abruptly.

At first, the old woman even doubted whether she heard it wrong.

But although she was in poor health, she was not deaf.

After lying down again, she thought about that voice, thinking about it over and over again, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the voice was real.

Something must have happened!
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

At this time, she heard another child crying.

That voice was also heartbreaking.

She was startled, and jumped up. Her mind was so hot that she couldn't care less about her fear, so she quietly went out to take a look.

But she quietly opened the door crack, looked out, and saw a strange shadow reflected on the wall of Jia Yunping's house. It looked like a giant, with its teeth and claws bared, with long claws, and its body was very twisted, like a play. The white-bone spirit in it.

She felt as if the shadow was dragging something into her mouth.

There seemed to be some liquid flowing on the ground.

It was dark.

The old woman couldn't see clearly.

But her intuition was that it should be blood!

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out, so she closed the door and got into the room.

That night, she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep again, lest the shadow would find her and come to her door.

She was on tenterhooks all night, and felt a little confused the next morning.

The neighbors on the left and right saw her unhappy face and asked her what was wrong.

She didn't dare to say it, so she just hid at home.

However, the more she thought about what happened the night before, the more scared she became.

She was afraid that the shadow would find her.

So, after much hesitation, she reported the case to the government.

This matter suddenly became weird, and it also involved Jia Yunping's family.

Magistrate Liu was naturally more interested, so he took his people and went to Jia's house to investigate in person.

He didn't mention the old woman, just talked about the news he had received, and asked Jia Yunping if he had discovered anything strange.

Jia Yunping looked confused and had no idea about this.

However, when asked about the servants of the Jia family, an old man guarding the back door of the Jia family hesitated to speak.

Magistrate Liu noticed that his expression was a little strange, so he asked more questions.

When pressed, the old man said that a while ago, when he was not keeping vigil, he got up in the middle of the night and went to the latrine, and he had seen a strange shadow on the wall of Jia's house.

But at that time, the shadow quickly disappeared.

The old man thought that he was stunned by the Sandman in the middle of the night, or that he was dazzled, so he didn't take it to heart.

But when Magistrate Liu talked about it, he remembered it.

When a person sees it, it may be said that he is dazzled.

But if two people see it, that’s not necessarily the case.

He just thought that the shadow he saw that night might not be a dazzle, but a real thing.

When Magistrate Liu heard this, he felt more and more strange about the matter.
