"The Dali Temple's closure of the killer's base might be a coincidence." Gu Ying calmed herself down and looked at Zhuyue, "Keep investigating to make sure Tangli is dead."

"Yes." Zhuyue left.

The waiting time was extremely unbearable. Gu Ying had no mood to do anything else and just walked around the room.

He is a professional killer, there is no way Tangli can escape!

Tangli must be dead.

The Dali Temple sealed off the killer's base, perhaps because of other reasons.

Gu Ying comforted herself in this way.

By evening, the moon appeared again.

Gu Ying couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?"

"Master, Tangli is not dead. Those killers were caught alive by the Dali Temple." Zhuyue said.

Gu Ying felt like she was struck by lightning!

She imagined two worst outcomes: either Tangli died and the killer was caught, or Tangli was not dead, the killer did not take action, and the discovery of the killer's base was a coincidence.

She never imagined that there would be a worse outcome.

how so?

Gu Ying was extremely anxious. Her brother was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and was good at investigating cases...

She needs to ask her brother...

Gu Ying walked towards the door, but just as she was about to go out, she pulled her foot back.

No, she couldn't act impulsively. If she asked, her brother, who was cautious by nature, would definitely become suspicious.

Stay calm, stay calm, don't lose your composure.

She had to find a solution.

"Zhuyue, did the killer see your appearance?" Gu Ying asked.

"I'm wearing a cloak, so the killer can't see me." Zhuyue said.

Gu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again as if she thought of something.

…

While Gu Ying couldn't sleep all night and had trouble eating or sleeping, Tang Li ate well and slept well.

The next day, she went to Gu's house again.

When Tang Li arrived, he found that Mrs. Gu and Gu Ying were there.

Tang Li and Gu Ying's eyes met, and Gu Ying's gaze flashed and looked away.

Tang Li looked at Gu Ying's ugly face which was covered by makeup, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gu Ying was having a bad time, so she was naturally in a better mood.

Mrs. Gu's eyes were also fixed on Tang Li.

Mrs. Gu was very worried when she heard that Tang Li was being hunted by a killer. She wanted to go out to see her, but she heard that she was already at the door.

So Mrs. Gu waited for her in the yard.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief and waved at her: "Girl, come here."

Tang Li walked obediently in front of Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu felt her body all over and checked again to see if she was injured.

Madam Gu withdrew her hand, looked at her, and found that her eyes were red.

"Girl, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Gu's voice sounded nervous and worried.

Tang Li shook his head: "I'm fine, I just feel that you look like my mother."

As soon as Tang Li said this, Gu Ying's expression changed no matter how hard she tried to hold herself together.

Why?

Why didn't Tangli die? !

She was tense all over, as if facing a great enemy.

Tang Li said this not to scare Gu Ying, but out of his feelings.

Sometimes, blood ties are really a magical thing. Because of the blood connection, she wanted to be close to Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu's care and concern also made her feel particularly warm and moved.

Madam Gu touched her head. She didn't know the girl's background yet, so she asked, "Girl, where is your mother?"

"I was raised by my adoptive parents. I don't know who my biological parents are." Tang Li said.

This girl's experience is the same as Aying's. She is also a poor child.

"Are your adoptive parents good to you?" Mrs. Gu asked, holding her hand.

"She's fine, but she's not my biological daughter after all," Tang Li said.

To be honest, my adoptive parents treated me very well. The family that adopted me was considered wealthy in the village. After years of marriage and childlessness, they adopted me. Shortly after the adoption, they gave birth to a son. Having their own children didn't stop them from wanting me, and they continued to treat me well, believing she was the family's blessing. Later, my adoptive parents gave birth to four more children, and naturally, they devoted less time to me.

However, they never treated her original body badly in terms of food and clothing. This was why, when Tangli first came into this body, her skin was so delicate and tender. This was because her adoptive parents never asked her to do any physical labor.

However, because the adoptive parents were too kind to the original body, the biological child had some complaints, and the adoptive parents were caught in the middle, feeling very awkward...

Therefore, after Tangli came in, she did not think about going back to look for her adoptive parents. If she went back, it would only cause more trouble for her adoptive parents, and Tangli did not want to embarrass them.

"Do you have any clues about your biological parents?" Mrs. Gu asked.

Tang Li looked at Madam Gu: "I'm almost finding them."

Mrs. Gu was happy for her: "That's good."

Gu Ying was feeling uneasy for most of the day, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had finished their topic.

…

Dali Temple.

Gu Huainian was sitting in his seat with two subordinates standing in front of him, reporting on the progress of the investigation.

"Sir, based on the portrait, we have questioned many people nearby and found out that the person in the portrait has entered..." The subordinate paused and looked at Gu Huainian, "into the General's Mansion."

Gu Huainian's expression changed slightly.

"The General's Mansion?"

He picked up the portrait and began to look at it. The first thing he could confirm was that it was a woman, between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Because the cloak was covering her face, he could not see her face clearly, only her figure.

However, recognizing someone does not rely solely on their face.

Relying on the face is the simplest and most intuitive way, but in addition to the face, a person has many other characteristics.

Gu Huainian's eyes fell on her hands, her clothes...

Gu Huainian has a very good memory. If he saw it with his own eyes, as long as he had seen the person before, he would be able to recognize him at a glance.

Unfortunately, this portrait was based on the killer's memory, and many of the features were not intuitive enough. Therefore, he could not pinpoint a specific person and could only rule out some people.

Gu Huainian closed his eyes and recalled the people in the general's mansion in his mind.

There were a total of 135 people in the General's Mansion, including 63 women. He had a memory of every one of them...

He recalled all the sixty-three people and finally eliminated only five.

"Follow me to the general's mansion." Gu Huainian said.

"yes!"

Gu Huainian took his five subordinates and quickly went to the general's mansion.

The general's housekeeper hurried over to greet him. Seeing the eldest son's attire and the people he brought with him, he knew he was here on official business and greeted him respectfully, "Master Gu."

Gu Huainian reported the information of five people. He didn't remember the names of these five people, but he remembered their characteristics. As soon as he said it, the housekeeper knew who they were.

"Bring these five people to see me." Gu Huainian said.

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper went to call for help.

Soon, two people came.

Gu Huainian glanced over and found that there was something wrong with these two people.

The third one came, and still wasn't right.

The fourth one came, and it was still wrong.

Only the last one left.

The housekeeper wiped the blood from his forehead and said, "Sir, this last one is Zhuyue, the young lady's maid, but she disappeared and we can't find her no matter how hard we try."
