Chapter 201
Inquiry about the news
After hearing Shen Qinglan's idea, the four of them waited for the table of diners to leave, and immediately walked over.
Zhou Huai shouted, "Auntie, let's have four bowls of wontons."
The aunt who set up the stall immediately smiled and responded, "Okay!"
"Cousin, let's go back. They all say that there are flower-picking thieves in the city recently."
Shen Qinglan stood by the table and pulled Nan Qing's sleeve, refusing to sit down.
It was the first time that Nan Qing saw Shen Qinglan speak in a coquettish tone, and she held back and didn't laugh out loud.
Liu Yuqi was already speechless, and she didn't even have lines, just lower her head and hold her smile.
Nan Qing controlled her facial expressions and followed the script she spoke in advance, "I've come here. I heard that the wontons in this restaurant are the best. We'll go back after eating. Where is the flower picking thief? Don't listen to the coachman's nonsense.
He just wanted us to pay the car money to go back to the inn earlier. After paying the car money for a day, he only wanted to do a half-day work, so don’t think about it!”
She noticed the look of the aunt selling wontons, and immediately added, "I finally came out for a while. We have to go to Qingshui River to put on the river lanterns tonight."
These lines were compiled in advance by Shen Qinglan. Qingshui River is a small river in Tongcheng. Shen Qinglan remembered that girls in the city like to go to the riverside to set up river lanterns and make wishes to marry a good man.
The reason why she remembered so clearly was because she scoffed at this wish at that time.
There are many people here, and there are many older aunts. Most of these people are very enthusiastic. If the city is not safe, someone will definitely come out to stop them.
Sure enough, the aunt who sold wontons there brought a bowl of cooked wontons, "Did you come from elsewhere?"
Shen Qinglan nodded, "Well, I came from Yongcheng to burn incense."
Not far from Tongcheng, there is a temple with a strong incense. People from other places often come to burn incense.
The aunt sighed, "No wonder, you guys should not go out tonight. The city is not safe recently."
Shen Qinglan said excitedly, "I'll just say it!"
Nan Qing asked the aunt, "Aunt, is there really a flower-picking thief in the city?"
The aunt glanced at Zhou Huai and had a strange face.
"Aunt?"
The aunt who sold wontons had to say, "This flower picking thief is a little hard to say. In addition to the beautiful girl, some handsome and strong young people have also disappeared."
Everyone looked at Zhou Huai...
Zhou Huai was embarrassed to be teased in person.
Shen Qinglan couldn't help laughing, "My elder brother is indeed quite handsome and strong."
It looks very ordinary!
Nan Qing glared at her and laughed at her. Senior brother was already handsome.
Zhou Huai quickly returned to normal. He took out a small piece of silver from his arms, "Auntie, we all come from other places, please tell us carefully."
When he took out the silver, the diners around him who ate wontons also saw it.
Two middle-aged women surrounded me, "Oh, brother, I tell you, all the kids and girls from the east of my house have been kidnapped."
One of them reached out to grab the silver, but the aunt who sold wontons was faster and held the silver in her hand. "What do you want to know? I know the most clearly about these things."
She pointed to the middle-aged woman she just mentioned, "The Hong family is from the east, Yoyo, the girl is so handsome. Unfortunately, the two children were gone on the same night last month, and the government is also a little bit too
The clues are not found."
Shen Qinglan asked her, "How old is the child? How often will it appear?"
"That boy is eighteen. I heard that he is about to get married, and his girl seems to be sixteen."
The aunt who sold wontons was a little uncertain and asked the woman next to her, "Hong, is his girl sixteen?"
The middle-aged woman said unhappily, "It's sixteen."
Aunt Wonton laughed, "That's sixteen, the age of flowers. How often does it appear? About one or two times a month I heard someone's good people have been kidnapped again."
"Are you only kidnapped young men and women?"
"Yes, not only girls' families, but even those little women of good color have been kidnapped."
Aunt Wonton sighed again, "It's a sin. A good person has entered those places, and there is no way out."
Shen Qinglan was puzzled, "What is the place that aunt is talking about?"
"Oh, it's just brothels and brothels. I heard that those big men also like to be handsome guys."
She said that, looking at Zhou Huai again, making Zhou Huai so angry.
"Old woman, why are you silly? Why don't you go and greet the guests!"
Another stall owner was an uncle. Judging from the tray he was holding, he should have just gone to deliver food.
As soon as I came back, I heard my wife say something about brothels and brothels to the guests, and I couldn't help but scold her loudly.
Aunt Wonton was yelled and just laughed, "Don't go around, let alone go to Qingshui River to turn on the lights at night. If you burn incense, go back to Yongcheng earlier."
Shen Qinglan nodded and agreed, "Thank you aunt."
Aunt wonton walked away with satisfaction, and did not forget to turn around and reminded her again, "Don't run around."
"Okay, I know."
Shen Qinglan sat down and picked up the spoon, "Is it really a flower picker?"
As a wonton was in her mouth, she couldn't help but frown. She was used to eating foods with spiritual energy, and the taste was worse than she thought.
Zhou Huai frowned, "What kind of flower-picking thief can abduct Qi Refining Cultivator?"
Liu Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Why might that be a monk who practices evil skills? I heard that some monks increase their cultivation by absorbing men's energy."
Nan Qing shook her head, "Then she will also want to take away a male cultivator with spiritual roots."
This is true. Some monks practiced through the method of supplementary training. No matter male or female, they may be the target of these people. On the contrary, ordinary people are not very useful.
Zhou Huai stood up and said, "Let's take a look at the government office."
After the four of them got up and left, the aunt came to collect the bowls, "Hey, everyone said they came to eat my wontons, why did the girl who said she wouldn't eat one, and the others didn't even move?"
Shen Qinglan took a bite of the four bowls of wontons, but the others had never even moved the spoon.
——
Several people didn't find any useful information in the government.
They invisible into the government office and captured an official in the dark. The official in the four people who suddenly appeared were almost scared to death.
He said whatever the few people asked, but no word was false.
Unfortunately, the government has not found any news in the past two years.
Everyone thinks that the flower-picking thief has a very strong martial arts skills and has left no trace.
When he returned to the city to join the foreign exchange, Jiang Yizhi had already come up with his idea.
Lin Shan said that he had checked with his friend and that person would appear almost once every twenty days.
The target was mostly in the west of the city, and his friend suddenly disappeared from the west of the city that day.
More than ten days have passed since the last time someone disappeared. If nothing unexpected happens, that person should appear again in the last ten days.
So Jiang Yizhi decided that the seven of them would be divided into three teams and wait for the man to appear on his own initiative!
Chapter completed!
