As soon as Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly rolled over and stood up from the edge of the couch. However, because he had been sleeping for too long before, his feet softened and he almost fell down again.
Fan Li and Guan Cong reacted quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Li Ran asked:
"Guang'er is gone? What does it mean? Where is Gong'er Yue? Yue'er should be with Guang'er!"
Fan Li said:
"Today I saw that Guang'er hadn't gone out for a long time. I felt strange, so I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I didn't feel it at first, but seeing that it was already time, I felt that something was wrong, and there was nothing in Miss Yue's room.
No movement!"
"So I finally pushed the door open without permission, only to find that there was no one inside. The room was a bit messy, and it was obvious that there was a fight!"
"I was so anxious that I searched outside the house, but there was no trace of it!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but feel confused and said hurriedly:
"Let's go! Go and have a look!"
Li Ran staggered to Liguang's room, and found that it was quite messy, and there were even a few sword marks around it.
Although Liguang was not proficient in martial arts, he had also learned swordsmanship from Gong Eryue. There was a sword hanging in the house. It was originally just a decoration, but now it has disappeared.
Although Li Ran was anxious, he forced himself to calm down.
He searched all the way outside the house, hoping to find some clues around him.
On the day he was unconscious, it rained heavily outside, so the road was still a little muddy. At this moment, Li Ran discovered a footprint in the grass.
And the footprints of this footprint are obviously not those of Liguang and Gong Eryue, but should be that of a man!
Li Ran followed the footprints and found that the person should have broken in through the window first.
After looking for traces, I looked out the window and found that the footprints were very deep, all the way to the wall.
In addition, there are some smaller footprints.
Li Ran calmly came to Gong Eryue's room. Nothing happened in Gong Eryue's room, but the sword that Gong Eryue usually used was no longer there.
Li Ran followed the footprints outside the house to the wall. There were no traces outside. Li Ran wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Fan Li beside him:
"Young uncle, it seems that someone broke into Guang'er's room and kidnapped Guang'er by force. Yue'er must have heard the noise next door and chased after him. The man carried Guang'er and walked out of the window.
It just jumped over the wall, so the footprints here are very deep, and Yue'er should be following closely behind!"
Fan Li was usually very attentive, but at this moment he looked very anxious and just said:
"Then...who did it? Why did they kidnap Guang'er? Why didn't Miss Yue warn us?"
Li Ran lowered his head and thought hard for a moment, then said:
"Chu Dang, you are the one guarding this yard on weekdays. Did you hear any noise last night?"
Chu Dang shook his head and said:
"It's true that we protect this courtyard on weekdays, but in the past two days, Miss Yue asked me to guard outside his house at all times because she cared about him. But last night, I did find someone sneaking around and peeking into his house.
, I caught him red-handed!"
"Now I have tied up this man and thrown him in the woodshed. When I saw my husband wake up in the morning, I was so happy that I forgot about this!"
Li Ran stamped his feet and said:
"How could you forget this matter? Go and see if he is there and bring him to the front hall. I want to interrogate him personally!"
Chu Dang left in response, and Li Ran said to Guan Cong:
"Ziyu, go find Sikou quickly. We must search for suspicious people throughout the city! There must be no omissions! If there is any situation, be sure to ask him to come and report it!"
Although Li Ran was anxious, he quickly calmed down. After all, things had already happened, and there was no point in being anxious.
Fan Li, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his soul. He followed Li Ran to the front hall and almost tripped over the threshold, obviously because he was too worried.
Seeing him like this, Li Ran comforted him:
"Young Master, please calm down and think about anything unusual in the past two days."
Fan Li came back to his senses and replied with a slight sob:
"It's all Li's negligence. If he could pay a little attention to them, maybe something like this wouldn't happen!"
Li Ran sighed:
"Don't blame yourself. I'm afraid the thief has been lurking in our house for a long time. He has seen chaos in the house in the past two days and has neglected to take precautions, so he took advantage of it!"
"Hey... let's find Guang'er first!"
At this time, Chu Dangti walked over with the person he caught last night. The person was not tall and a little thin. He was wearing night clothes and had a look of fear on his face.
Li Ran walked up to the man and asked:
"Who are you? Why did you break into my Li Mansion at night? What do you want?"
The man said:
"My name is A Liao, and I come from the country of Yue. Last night, I didn't have any other thoughts. I was just ordered to come and see how Mr. Ziming was doing..."
Li Ran knelt down and faced A Liao:
"Are you... from Yue?"
Li Ran only had this question because Ah Liao's accent was completely different from the Wu Nong soft language of Yue country.
The accent of Yue is similar to that of Wu, and Wu dialect is also called Wuyue dialect. So A Liao immediately changed to the Yue accent and said:
"I am indeed from the Yue Kingdom. I am only acting under the orders of the king. Please don't hurt my life, Mr. Ziming. I...I will tell you everything!"
Li Ran said:
"Then...why did your Yue King kidnap my daughter?"
A Liao said quickly:
"This little guy really doesn't know. He only knows that this is an order from above, and I followed the others. We have been dormant in Li's Mansion for a long time. Last night I came specifically to check on Mr. Jun. As for who Xiaojun was
I really didn’t know about the robbery..."
Li Ran said in a deep voice:
"Then where are you going to kidnap my daughter? You have been lurking in Chengzhou for a while, and your accent has been imitated so perfectly! Are you sent by the King of Yue to deal with me?"
A Liao said with a cry:
"It is true that we have been in Chengzhou for a while, but we have never had any evil intentions towards Mr. Wang. It's just that not long ago, a man came to Chengzhou with a token of the king and asked us to obey his orders, but it was too late.
There is no next step yet.”
"The man suddenly asked us to take action the day before yesterday. Although the villain was puzzled, he had no choice but to obey the order. The man said he was meeting outside the city, and now that I have been arrested, I don't know where they will go after leaving the city.
Connected!"
Fan Li grabbed A Liao's collar:
"You pushed the whole thing away! Who is that person? Where are you going after you get it? If you don't tell the truth, I will cut off your hands and feet and throw them away.
Outside the city! Let you fend for yourself!"
When Fan Li said these words, his tone was strong and his eyes were fierce, as if he would really do this.
Ah Liao was so frightened that she burst into tears:
"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me! I have already told you everything I know. I have a low status and don't know many things at all!"
Li Ran gently patted Fan Li's shoulder to tell him to calm down, and then Fan Li reluctantly let go.
