Chapter 149 Ensuring the Safety of My Sister-in-Law
Hearing the noise behind him, Xia Zuming turned around and saw a person and a dog walking out of the backyard.
They went in for only a short while, and came out again so quickly.
Xia Zuming couldn't figure out what they were up to.
Judging from the smile on the girl's face, she must have made some important decision.
When they arrived at the door, Baka, who had been obediently following behind Du Ruoxia, took the initiative to walk in front.
Xia Zuming stared at their backs for a long time before finally asking a question.
"You want to check on the extent of that person's injuries?"
Xia Zuming strode forward, and Du Ruoxia, without hiding anything, spoke frankly to him.
"right!"
"That person's identity is not simple; getting involved in this matter could be very troublesome."
Xia Zuming kindly reminded her, and Du Ruoxia nodded.
It wasn't that she was ungrateful; rather, if she was going to do it, she wanted to do it well.
"Thank you for reminding me. Actually, it wasn't me who brought this up; it was my friend who insisted on investigating, and I couldn't do anything about it."
Du Ruoxia outwardly expressed her gratitude, but in reality, she shifted the blame to Zhao Jiajun.
Xia Zuming glanced at the man from afar, who stood out like a conspicuous bag, searching around along the bloodstains.
"Finding someone like that? That's probably not easy."
Xia Zuming immediately felt a bit disgusted. If it were him, he would have started with the injured man.
Even if he traces the source of the bloodstains, he can only find the crime scene.
The murderer will definitely not stay in one place; their attempts to go there are destined to be fruitless.
On the contrary, if the man who stayed with him were to come looking for trouble, he would probably be in trouble too.
As Xia Zuming thought this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't have time to advise Du Ruoxia; he quickly went to the backyard to fetch two buckets of water, poured the water on the ground, and started cleaning up the bloodstains with a broom.
Du Ruoxia had also thought of this; to be precise, she had just returned to remind him.
Xia Zuming is a smart man; he can figure things out on his own without needing to explain them.
"You're likely to be in danger until that person is caught."
Du Ruoxia looked at the shops on the left and right; there were quite a few people coming and going on the medicine street.
Many people probably saw that person barge in.
When those ruthless thugs find out about it and come looking for him, the first one to suffer will probably be Xia Zuming, who took him in.
"Should we go to the police station to report this?"
Du Ruoxia suggested that since he was the only one in the shop, if he left, and that person encountered danger inside, there might be no one to save him.
The main problem is that everyone in the store went to buy new stock today, and we're short-staffed right now; we really can't do without someone.
"I can't go, at least not now."
Xia Zuming gave a wry smile, and Du Ruoxia nodded, instantly understanding.
Then she smiled confidently and said, "Then we should at least close the door to guests today."
"Of course, but today has been really unlucky."
Xia Zuming's smile was somewhat bitter; this was nothing short of an unexpected disaster for him.
"It's alright, Baka and I will find him soon!"
Du Ruoxia was very confident in Baka's sense of smell. Baka's sense of smell was very sensitive, and it had just carefully smelled the man's scent at Du Ruoxia's prompting.
Although the medicine street is crowded, the smells here are also quite mixed.
It's like Baka has a small radar installed; it can block out all other smells around it.
It's as if only one flavor remains in its world.
Baka kept its head down, searching. It would occasionally run off on its little legs and stop to sniff the scent.
Those who didn't know the situation might think Du Ruoxia was walking her dog on the medicine street, but only she knew that the dog was actually walking her.
Baka led her further and further away, and soon they were out of the vicinity of the medicine street.
It crossed a path and soon entered a forest.
"Baka, are you sure you're here?"
They strayed further and further off course, and Ruoxia suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Moreover, as far as she knew, the road here led straight ahead to the other side of Mount Kakuzo.
Baka turned his head and barked at her with absolute confidence.
They were already far from the crowd, and if they really caught the murderer, she might not be able to handle him.
She is skilled at wielding a scalpel and knows the weaknesses of the human body, so she has the ability to protect herself. However, she worries that she might not be able to handle a large number of people.
"Then wait here for a moment, I'll go and call Zhao Jiajun over."
It's always more reassuring to have someone you know by your side.
Du Ruoxia had only walked a dozen meters when she saw Zhao Jiajun rushing over.
"Sister-in-law, why did you go into the mountains alone? What if you encounter danger?"
"You have no idea how scared I was when I looked up and didn't see you, I almost peed my pants..."
Zhao Jiajun always spoke like this in the military camp, and only when he said it casually did he realize that the person standing in front of him was a beautiful girl.
He immediately stopped talking, and Du Ruoxia did not pursue the matter further.
"Sister-in-law, it's too dangerous in the mountains, let's go back quickly."
Zhao Jiajun led her back, but Du Ruoxia immediately called out to him.
"According to the information I've gathered, the person is hiding in the mountains. If we leave now, we'll never find the criminal again."
"You were the one who wanted to go into the mountains, and I overcame my fear to come with you. Do you really want to give up halfway?"
Zhao Jiajun stopped in his tracks and walked brightly to her side.
"Sister-in-law, do you really mean it? It's not that I'm afraid of dying, it's just that I'm the one who brought you up, and I have to get you back safely."
"If you get hurt, if Brother Yan finds out I caused this trouble, he'll definitely be the first to punish me!"
"It's okay. If I get injured, I'll just say I fell and I definitely won't involve you."
Only after receiving Du Ruoxia's assurance did Zhao Jiajun feel relieved.
“Okay, whichever way you plan to go, I’ll follow behind. If there’s any danger, I’ll be the first to step in.”
“I raised you, sister-in-law, so I will definitely ensure your safety.”
Zhao Jiajun's gaze sharpened, and his aura instantly intensified.
Du Ruoxia successfully dealt with Zhao Jiajun, and Baka continued to lead the way.
The path was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. Below it was a slope covered with various trees.
Although Bacca's legs are short, he walks very steadily.
It led them through the mountains, initially clearly uphill, but then they started descending.
Du Ruoxia frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
Baka sensed her confusion and immediately barked to remind her.
Baka led them onward, while Du Ruoxia frowned as she looked at the road ahead.
The road gave her the feeling that it continued towards the medicine street.
However, they were not familiar with the terrain here, so they could not make an accurate judgment.
Baka walked faster and faster because it could smell the person's scent.
Although Du Ruoxia was already very tired, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
If a dog can persevere, what can't she do?
