Chapter 292 Encounter
Within just a few days, Hailing Commercial Bank's skin care products began to circulate among many wealthy families.
As the flower viewing party was getting closer, the girls tried their best to make themselves more beautiful. They all went to Hailing Commercial Bank and bought a lot of skin care products.
The flower viewing party hadn't started yet, and Qin Yuan was running low on skin care products. He had to go back to Jiang Wan to get another batch of goods.
Of course, before he went to Lianjiagou, he had to go to the county government office and report to Lord Qin about his sales situation.
This time, he made over a thousand taels of silver from skin care products alone, and with the addition of oyster sauce and other goods, the results were very gratifying.
If Qin Zhen knew about this situation under normal circumstances, he would definitely praise and encourage him. However, now that a major case has occurred in the county, he is in no mood and did not even see Qin Yuan.
"Sir! We have some clues about the missing persons case in the city!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Qin Zhen immediately took the stack of papers that the man handed over.
The above is all information gathered by the subordinates from their visits.
Recently, six or seven girls and a dozen boys suddenly disappeared in the city. They disappeared within two or three days. Those who reported the case crowded at the entrance of the county government office and cried. The crowd was terrifying.
Qin Zhen immediately sent his men to investigate the situation. After a round of investigation, they only found out that it was a gang of outsiders who committed the crime, and nothing else was found.
Hailing City is right by the sea, and it is impossible for such a long coastline to be guarded everywhere. If the criminal had a boat, it would be very convenient for him to escape. That's why Qin Zhen was particularly anxious.
After taking the paper and reading it carefully, Qin Zhen broke out in a cold sweat.
Based on the memories of the people in the city, the people in the yamen drew portraits of those suspected criminals.
He was not sure about the others, but one of them looked very familiar to him.
He was the commander of the imperial guards who served the former deposed crown prince and was always on the wanted list.
Hailing County was remote, and although there had been wanted notices posted on notice boards, it had been several years since the new dynasty began, and few people paid attention to the notices posted here and there.
He actually came to Hailing City!
Since he is here, are the descendants of the deposed prince also here? Did he lead people to abduct the boys and girls? What is their purpose?
Qin Zhen quickly called his men together to make a series of arrangements and reported the matter to his superiors.
Of course, the superiors must be informed of such a dangerous and sensitive person.
Just as Qin Zhen's subordinates were searching for people along the coastal villages, an inconspicuous fishing boat slowly mixed in with the fishing boats and left Hailing County.
"Qin is really crazy. He has to go back and check the villages he has already checked. It's so annoying."
"Commander-in-chief, the master is still short of three girls. What should we do now?"
"There's nothing to worry about. There are plenty of girls in these coastal villages. But this boat is too small to hold so many people. We have to find a place to drop them off and settle them down for a few days."
The commander-in-chief looked at the people in the cabin who were tied up like dumplings with indifference in his eyes.
"I remember we passed by a small island with many coconut trees when we came here. That island is far away from people and there are many coconut trees on it. Even if there is no water, we won't die of thirst. Let's go to that island to gather some people, and then steal a boat and leave when everyone is gathered."
Once the boss opens his mouth, his subordinates will naturally obey.
"Commander-in-chief, although that area is a bit far from the village, the fishermen in the village go far and are likely to go to the island."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he was slapped on the head.
"You are so stupid. It doesn't matter if ordinary fishermen come to the island. If you can't even deal with fishermen, why are you following me? Just jump into the sea. Shame on you!"
When the others heard this, they nodded.
Indeed, with all their martial arts skills, if even ordinary fishermen are afraid of them, then what good will it be?
Anyone who dares to go to the island without permission will be killed.
Now that they had a destination, they headed towards Coconut Island quickly.
At this time, Jiang Wan was also organizing people to go to Coconut Island. The coconuts on the island had been picked almost completely, but the forest was too overgrown with grass and trees, so they were always worried about snakes and insects when they went in and out, so they had to clean it up.
After Jiang Wan said something to her mother, she recruited a few aunts and uncles in the village to go to Coconut Island.
The aunties and uncles were diligent and strong, and they went into the forest with the insect repellent bags Jiang Wan had sent them. Soon, they brought out piles of all kinds of dead branches and weeds, forming a thick pile.
Jiang Wan did not go in. After all, she knew a few kinds of medicinal herbs, so she stood outside and rummaged through the pile of weeds, occasionally picking out a few roots.
After working for more than an hour, her buttocks ached from sitting on the stone, and her waist also began to ache, so she stood up and stretched her waist.
I just stretched and turned around when I suddenly saw a boat coming on the sea.
Jiang Wan didn't take it to heart, as it was common for fishermen to come ashore to rest.
She didn't intend to stop people from going to the island in the future.
Besides, she is on the island now, with a group of villagers accompanying her, so there is nothing to worry about.
