Chapter 122: Unaccepted Confession
Fufeng Town was very quiet at night. Occasionally one or two pedestrians were seen on the road, all of them hurrying home, which was quite different from the brightly lit capital at night.
Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing took off their outer nightgown as disguises and walked slowly on the quiet street.
Breathing the fresh air after the rain slightly eased Su Chenyu's heavy mood.
Yin Jiuniang should be a descendant of the former merchant Yin family, and she should be the only person who escaped from the fire. She fled Fufeng Town for several years and returned again, using the alias Yin Jiuniang and opened this deep red shop.
It seems that the fire that happened in the Yin family that year was not an accident, otherwise Yin Jiuniang would not have needed to change her name.
Considering how much Yin Jiuniang hated the umbrellas in Yusan Pavilion, it seemed that the accident involving the Yin family was closely related to the Qian family.
"Can you find out where the old site of the Yin family is? Let's take a look tomorrow." Perhaps we can find some clues from it.
Bai Yanqing nodded: "I'll let Zhu Yi check it out."
The two of them walked towards the inn and saw Aunt Xu waiting at the door of the inn with an umbrella from a distance.
Su Chenyu quickened her pace: "Mammy, why are you waiting at the door?"
"It's raining fast in Fufeng Town. All the umbrella shops are closed tonight. I'm afraid you'll get wet, so I came to find you with an umbrella when it rains."
Looking at the umbrella in Madam Xu's hand, Su Chenyu suddenly remembered something: "Yan Qing, I know something is missing from Yin Jiuniang's workshop."
"What?"
"The umbrella that Shen Fei sells every month is made by Yin Jiuniang herself. She has always made umbrellas in her workshop at home, but today I didn't see any materials for making umbrellas in the workshop. Isn't this strange? So where are her umbrellas made?"
Bai Yanqing asked: "Does she have another umbrella workshop?"
"We have searched her house today and didn't see any other workshops." Su Chenyu thought for a moment, "Send someone to find out where Yin Jiuniang usually stays for a long time."
Aunt Xu replied, "Don't worry, sir. I will make sure this matter is handled properly."
"Is Wutong not back yet?"
Aunt Xu shook her head, and Su Chenyu warned, "If Wutong hasn't come back after midnight, send someone to look for her."
"Yes!" Aunt Xu replied, "Sir, Prince Consort, you can go back and rest first."
Not long after the two returned to the room, Wutong came back.
It turned out that the people who were following him today were some gangsters from Fufeng Town. They had no fixed place to live, and they were very alert and familiar with Fufeng Town. If Wutong hadn't followed them from the beginning, he would have been thrown off for sure.
Wutong followed them for an afternoon and a night and found that they liked to follow some young women and men from other places, and arranged people to follow them near the inns where these people stayed.
"Sir, I really don't understand why these people do this."
Su Chenyu felt as if a layer of fog was covering her eyes. These people's behavior was very strange, and it was obviously related to the disappearance case: "Take the accompanying secret guards and have them disperse and keep an eye on those hooligans who are following them. If those hooligans are about to take action, you must save them."
The matter was of great importance, Wutong did not dare to rest, and immediately ordered the secret guards to act according to Su Chenyu's orders.
