Chapter 472 The Missing Girl

She rolled her eyes, knowing that she couldn't ask too clearly, if she accidentally attracted other people's attention, it would be a waste of money.

So Chu Yi picked up some common things and asked, "Uncle, I just entered the city today and found that there are a lot of guards in the city. Did something serious happen?"

While skillfully picking up the buns and wrapping them in oiled paper, the uncle looked up at Chu Yi, "Didn't you see the arrest warrant at the gate when you entered the city? The prefect's son was killed, and now he is busy arresting the murderer and bringing him to justice." Woolen cloth."

The second half of the sentence seemed to be scruples, and deliberately lowered his voice, but there was a hint of optimism in his eyes.

Chu Yi had no doubts, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many guards coming and going on the street, he would even clap his hands and praise "Good kill"!
Fu Jingli was thoughtful.

It seems that the prefect's image in the hearts of the people is not very good.

Chu Yi made a frightened look with timid eyes. For a man, such an expression is a bit motherly. She didn't notice the strange look in the uncle's eyes, "Then, isn't the prefect very angry?"

The uncle snorted, with a disdainful look on his face, "It's not just because of anger, it almost turned the whole Yuzhou city upside down. If it wasn't for the fact that the hands weren't long enough, there would be no peace in Yingcheng!"

The prefect son happened in Yingcheng.

As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Yi, "I said little girl..."

Chu Yi's eyes widened suddenly, they were full of surprise, her fair cheeks flushed red, and she stammered, "How do you know..."

Fu Jingli narrowed his eyes dangerously, clenched his fists secretly, and stared at the uncle, as if he would strike immediately if the other party made a move.

Fortunately, although the uncle was a bit fierce, his heart was not bad.

He had seen a lot of ladies from aristocratic families who disguised themselves as men and slipped out to play, so he didn't think it was strange.

"Uncle, I eat more salt than you have ever eaten. Can you tell what's strange?"

The little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh. How does she look like a man?

The uncle shook his head and muttered.

"It's good to dress up as a man. According to me, don't go out recently. Didn't you hear the rumors in recent days? The little girl is so courageous..."

"What rumor?" Fu Jingli grasped the point keenly and interrupted him loudly.

Hearing this, the uncle took a careful look at the man who had been silent all this time. The man was dressed in black and had a tall figure. He was very good-looking, with lazy brows and eyes.

With a hint of impatience on his face, he repeated, "What rumor?"

The uncle came back to his senses with a dazed look on his face, "I forgot you before entering the city."

He first looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said, "Recently, young girls in the city have been disappearing for no apparent reason, causing panic, so most girls are afraid to go out and hide at home!"

"Missing? A girl?" Chu Yi opened her round eyes with an incredulous look on her face.

A look of timidity flashed across her eyes, and she subconsciously grabbed Fu Jingli's arm.

Are you afraid now?

Fu Jingli glanced at her, feeling a little dumbfounded in his heart. He restrained his expression and turned his head to look at the uncle, with a slightly condensed tone, "Why did you disappear?"

Business is not good right now, so the uncle simply started chatting with them.

The uncle looked solemn, "It's strange to say, it is said that he stayed in his room well, and disappeared the next morning! At first, the big guy didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there are few missing people. Afterwards, more and more people disappeared, and they were all young girls, so this has to attract everyone's attention!"

He glanced at Chu Yi, who was nervous, and deliberately frightened her, "Besides, it's useless to report the case. The people who disappeared before can't be found. How scary do you think it is! Someone said that there is a man in our city. Monsters who eat young girls, there are no bones left after eating them, so the rumors are so evil!"

Chu Yi held her breath, her long eyelashes trembled, and she tried to remain calm, "This is too ridiculous, how can there be monsters in the world, it's unreliable to hear!"

The uncle was a little cheerful, "Then you said that the door is well closed and the guards are tight, so why did that person disappear?"

"I...how do I know this, maybe it's the flower pickers who took those girls away!" Chu Yi opened her eyes wide, "Yes, it must be like this! Didn't the government send someone to investigate?"

The uncle shook his head, "I checked, but it's useless. There's no clue at all. How can I check? Where can I check?"

Chu Yi's face was a little ugly.

The disappearance of a large number of girls is no small matter.

And those girls have probably been murdered...

She was a little sad.

The uncle spoke earnestly, "Anyway, little girl listen to my advice, be careful in the near future, try not to go out, who knows if those people will think about it."

Although it is said to be a monster, everyone knows that this thing may be done by a human, and people's hearts are unpredictable. How can a monster compare to it?

Fu Jingli was silent for a moment, and asked the uncle, "Do you know where the first missing girl lives?"

The uncle looked at him in surprise when he heard the words, and said in a disapproving tone, "Young man, I advise you to leave what you shouldn't do, or you will cause trouble!"

Even the government can't control this matter, how can he, an outsider, intervene?
Fu Jingli raised his eyebrows, "Judging from your tone, it seems that you are the object of suspicion?"

The uncle's expression changed, and he immediately waved his hands, "I don't know, I don't know anything, just walk around, I'll say everything I need to say, don't stop me from doing business."

Uncle didn't want Fu Jingli to intervene for his own benefit, so why can't he get involved in these bad things, it's too late for normal people to hide!
But who knew that Fu Jingli was a tough guy, he felt a little apprehensive when he met the man's threatening eyes.

Can't help being a little curious about the origins of these two people.

Chu Yi quickly pulled Fu Jingli back, signaling him to restrain himself. She looked at the uncle with a smile, and made a pleading gesture, "Just tell us, uncle, we promise not to mix things up randomly, just because I'm curious!"

She paused, her eyes dimmed slightly, "You don't want to see more innocent girls disappear, do you?"

The uncle moved slightly in his heart, sighed, finally gritted his teeth, and said an address in a low voice.

Chu Yi and Fu Jingli looked at each other, and after inquiring about the route, they decided to find out.

According to what the uncle said, the girl who disappeared at the beginning was the daughter of an ordinary family who opened a medical clinic. She disappeared two months ago.

Fu Jingli knew in his heart that after such a long time, the possibility of her being alive was very slim, but seeing how active Chu Yi was, he didn't have the heart to hit her.

The two stopped in front of a medical hall, and the three characters "Jishitang" were engraved on the huge plaque.

Pursing her lips, Chu Yi followed Fu Jingli inside.
