"I know some people who may be able to find some clues." Su Jinyue explained, "Besides, there is no time to lose. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

The emperor weighed it and finally nodded, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Jinyue knelt down and kowtowed, then hurriedly retreated.

After leaving the palace, she immediately rushed to the east of the city.

Along the way, she was anxious, but she remained calm and tried hard to think of possible countermeasures.

When she arrived near the deserted house, she looked around and suddenly heard two vendors talking not far away.

"Have you heard? It was very lively there last night. Someone saw a large group of people passing by."

"Who would come to the capital at this time?"

"It looks like some kind of caravan, so impressive!"

Su Jinyue immediately walked over and smiled at the vendors, "Brothers, may I ask you about what happened last night?"

When the vendors saw Su Jinyue coming, they all stopped what they were doing. One of them asked enthusiastically, "Why are you asking about this, young lady?"

"I want to know, are there many vendors coming to the capital these days?"

The vendor nodded, "A lot! There are more coming these days, it seems like they are all from the Western Regions doing business in the capital!"

"There are quite a few people coming from the Western Regions recently, some are big merchants, and some are small traders. If you are asking about this, do you want to buy something?" Another vendor added, looking at Su Jinyue with curiosity.

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, "Oh, no, a few of my friends got lost here last night, so I wanted to know if anyone saw them last night."

At this time, the vendors looked at each other, and one of them suddenly said, "If you mean last night, then it's interesting. I heard that there seemed to be some movement in the deserted house over there last night."

"What's the noise?" Su Jinyue asked quickly.

The vendor lowered his voice mysteriously, "It is said that some people saw a few figures sneaking around there, but they were never seen again."

"Is this true?" Su Jinyue's heart was shocked. It seemed that her guess was correct.

Another vendor replied, "That's not the case! But we didn't dare to get close, for fear of getting into trouble."

"Thank you." Su Jinyue bowed slightly to them to express her gratitude.

When she was about to leave, a vendor on the other side hesitated for a moment, called her and said, "Girl, if you need any help, you can come to us. We are acquaintances around here. We can't say we can help you in any way, but at least we can keep you informed."

Su Jinyue nodded, "Thank you, brothers. If I have any news, I will definitely ask for help again."

After saying goodbye to the peddler, she immediately walked towards the deserted house, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

According to the direction they said, Su Jinyue quickly found the target. A dilapidated cabin was hidden in the weeds, with dilapidated windows and a half-open door, looking very desolate.

This didn't look like the safe house Qin Qiong had described. As she approached the wooden house, her heart beat faster. She looked around to make sure no one was following her before she gently pushed open the shaky wooden door.

The room was dimly lit and dusty. With the weak light, she saw a few scattered papers on the ground, which seemed to be fragments of maps and notes with scribbled handwriting. Obviously, someone had left something here.

Su Jinyue squatted down and looked at the papers carefully, but found that the information on them was very scattered and it was almost impossible to piece together complete intelligence.

But she keenly noticed one of the red marks, "Western Suburbs?"

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. She quickly put away the paper in her hand, hid it in her sleeves, and quickly hid behind the door!

There was a slight creaking sound, the door was pushed open, and a burly man walked in.

He looked around, as if searching for something, muttering to himself, "This is weird. There are signs that someone has been here, but why is there no sign of him?"

Su Jinyue held her breath, but her heart was beating very fast!

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when the man let down his guard and turned to leave.

After a long while, she finally went out of the cabin, but she didn't expect that the man was waiting for her outside the door!

"I knew there was someone in there. Sure enough, I waited for you!"

The man had a sinister look in his eyes, holding a knife in his hand, "Come on, follow me!"

Su Jinyue frowned, "Why did you arrest me?"

“Hehe…” the man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth. “I’m only following orders. Just cooperate and avoid physical pain. Otherwise… humph, don’t think I won’t kill you just because you’re good-looking!”

Hearing this, a cold light flashed across Su Jinyue's eyes, and then she curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The man thought Su Jinyue was scared, so he put the knife back into the sheath with a grim smile, "You'd better be honest!"

Su Jinyue followed the man all the way to a mansion in the western suburbs.

She was moved. Could it be that Xiao Duo and the others were also in the western suburbs? Thinking of what was written on the note, Su Jinyue followed the man in silence and entered the mansion through the back door.

The house was dark and damp, with vines growing everywhere. Su Jinyue followed the man through several corridors and finally came to a spacious hall.

There were several people with exotic looks sitting in the hall. When they saw Su Jinyue being brought in, they all looked at her sideways.

"Who is this little girl?" asked the man sitting in the middle, his voice low and intimidating.

"Boss, when I went to the deserted house today, she was hiding inside. She must have something to do with those people!" the burly man reported.

"Oh?" The man who was called the boss narrowed his eyes and looked Su Jinyue up and down. "I'm going to ask you a few questions. Just tell us the truth. We won't do anything to you."

Su Jinyue speculated about the identities of these people in her heart, but she did not look panicked. "I just found that place by accident. I don't know who you are, and I don't know why you want to arrest me."

"Hey, you're quite clever with your words." The burly man sneered and clapped his hands, "Someone come here!"

Someone came in from behind, looked at Su Jinyue, pointed at her and said, "She was one of the people we were chasing in Liang City last night!"

The head of the family held up his forehead and looked at Su Jinyue, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Su Jinyue's eyes gradually turned cold. "I was in Liang City last night, but I have nothing to do with the person you are talking about. I am from Xiaoyao Tower."

"You broke into Xiaoyao Tower last night, and our building owner didn't come to trouble you, but you came to trouble me first!"

Su Jinyue was smart and directly pulled Xiaoyao Tower into it.

As expected, the head of the family, upon hearing Su Jinyue's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You said you are from Xiaoyao Tower? How can you prove it?!"
