And it was on the fourth day after Baili Feiyue and others left the small town inn.
Two strangers came to a larger town a hundred miles southeast of the town.
Although such a town is not very big, it is not small either.
There are often all kinds of strangers passing by, whether they are passing by on foot or traveling for business, but in recent days, people in the town are particularly wary of strangers.
What's more, the way these two strangers were dressed was really eye-catching.
There were two people, one big and one small.
The older one was wearing a veil with her entire body exposed, while the younger one was a pretty girl that was almost impossible to look away from.
Wherever the big and small go, the eyes of the people around them follow them.
Ye Lin, wearing a veil, was quietly on guard around him.
However, the little girl next to him, Jiuer, didn't seem to care at all. Since she was in a new place, she looked around without any hesitation.
When they meet the gazes of those who are staring at them, they can even smile at them innocently.
When Jiuer took Ye Lin to choose a restaurant and walked in, the people who were eating in the restaurant hall saw two strangers coming in and their reactions were very similar to those on the street outside.
The restaurant owner was knowledgeable and in order not to affect the business, he immediately went forward and personally welcomed Jiuer and the others to the private room upstairs.
Jiuer ordered all the signature dishes here, and when the dishes were served, she savored them slowly and asked casually, "Boss, are people here very xenophobic? When they saw me and my brother, they looked at me strangely."
Ye Lin now took off the veil he was wearing. Now in broad daylight, he looked just like an ordinary person.
The only special thing about him is his red eyes that look like crimson gemstones.
But the eye color of many foreigners is different from that of Middle-earth people. The shopkeeper has seen this and doesn't find it strange.
The brother and sister were both very good-looking and their clothes were also unusual.
Seeing how graceful and elegant this girl was despite her young age, the shopkeeper knew that they must be from a wealthy family with a well-established background, so they would not be bad guys.
The shopkeeper sighed, "My dear guests, you may not know that a family tragedy happened here three days ago. There were 123 people in the house, and not a single one was left alive."
The shopkeeper told this story with great melancholy.
There was a man named Chen Yuanwai in the south of the city. He had a lot of property and a wealthy family.
Mr. Chen was also a person who loved to build bridges and roads and help his neighbors.
Moreover, Mr. Chen was different from other wealthy masters. His family was very simple. He only had one wife and no other women.
I have lived in harmony with my wife for many years, making others envious.
Even if the wife has no children.
Later, when Mr. Chen and his wife were both over 50 years old and could no longer have children, they adopted an orphan girl from another place and raised her as their own.
More than ten years passed, and the orphan girl had grown up to almost marriageable age. Mr. and Mrs. Chen had also grown old, frail and sickly, and their time was running out.
The only thing that Mr. and Mrs. Chen were worried about was their adopted daughter who was no different from their biological daughter.
They were afraid that if they left, the girls would be bullied after getting married, but if they stayed at home, the law stipulated that a girl alone could not establish a household. They had to have a son.
So Mr. Chen and his wife decided to find a son-in-law for their daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen picked and chose, and finally found someone they satisfied with.
After the son-in-law married the girl from the Chen family, he had nothing to complain about in everything from head to toe.
The next year, another big fat boy was born.
Everyone else praised the Chen family elders for being lucky to have such a knowledgeable son-in-law.
The two elders of the Chen family laughed so hard that they couldn't stop, and their health seemed to be better.
He lived for another two years before he died of old age with a smile on his face.
When the two elders of the Chen family just passed away, the son-in-law of the Chen family became more diligent and was busy outside all day long to manage the business left by the two elders of the Chen family.
But even though he was busy, he never forgot to ask about the girl from the Chen family's well-being.
Miss Chen lost her parents, and her husband loved her and could not bear to see her suffer from the housework. Not only did he gradually take over all the outside business, but he also found a very capable and loyal housekeeper to help Miss Chen relieve her worries.
Miss Chen just needs to take care of the children.
But who knew that the son-in-law didn't love the girl from the Chen family, but had evil ambitions!
After he had completely taken control of the Chen family inside and out and revealed his true colors, the girl from the Chen family discovered that all the old people in the Chen family's mansion and farm shops had been replaced.
The few who were left had all been bought off by their husbands.
The girl from the Chen family no longer had any say or status in the Chen family.
After he had seized power and firmly controlled the Chen family, the ugly face of the son-in-law was completely exposed.
He had no idea how many women he had inside and outside his house. Half a year ago, he went even further and simply found an excuse to divorce the girl from the Chen family and married a new wife.
The girl from the Chen family was miserable. After being divorced, she was kicked out of the house. The son-in-law threatened that anyone who helped her would be against him.
The Chen family has extensive business, and those who have business dealings with the Chen family dare not help Miss Chen.
Although many people in the town were grateful for the kindness of her parents, they only secretly gave her some food or change, or found her some small jobs such as laundry, mending and embroidery to make a living.
What's worse is that Miss Chen's son was rumored to be ill and had seen many doctors but none of them could cure him.
And just about half a month ago, the son-in-law reported to the police, saying that Miss Chen had stolen his son Chen Baoer.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he sighed again, "Since then, no one has seen Miss Chen again, and of course no one has seen the child either."
"At first, some people suspected that Miss Chen and her son were murdered by the son-in-law, but after what happened the night before yesterday...some people started to believe that..."
"It is said that Miss Chen did run away with the child secretly. Not only did she run away, she also hired a killer to kill everyone in the mansion..."
"That's why everyone is paying so much attention to you two distinguished guests. Because of the Chen family murder case, all strangers coming and going must be checked."
He glanced at Ye Lin's figure again, "Plus, this young man is wearing a veil, so his true appearance cannot be seen clearly..."
Then he looked at Jiu'er and smiled, "It is said that young Master Chen Bao'er is also very cute, so it is OK for him to wear a little girl's dress. So..."
"So those who have never seen Miss Chen and Chen Baoer even suspect that my brother and I are Miss Chen and her son in disguise." Jiuer calmly ate a crispy almond.
The shopkeeper has a sharp eye when it comes to welcoming and seeing off guests, and it’s obvious at first glance that the younger sister is the one who makes the decisions for these two siblings.
He smiled awkwardly, "It's all because of the murder case. Now everyone has wild ideas. Please don't take it to heart, my dear guests."
"That's not the case." Jiuer raised her chin, "But boss, can you take us to the Chen family's house?"
The shopkeeper was startled and a little embarrassed, "Dear guest, what are you doing..."
Jiuer put a silver note in his hand and said, "I am not satisfied with what you said, boss. I am very interested in solving these cases. I want to go and see the scene."
The shopkeeper also thought he was seeing a ghost, as he was communicating with a little girl, but he didn't feel that the other party was a child at all during the whole process.
Just speak naturally.
The shopkeeper made a temporary decision and said, "Since the two distinguished guests want to go, I will report to the government and then take them there."
By the time Jiuer and the others finished eating, the shopkeeper had already completed the corresponding procedures.
In just half an hour, they arrived at Cheng Mansion.
Jiuer let Ye Lin carry her to the top of the wall, and stood on the wall to look around the situation in the mansion. She came down without looking any more, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left.
After parting with the shopkeeper, Jiuer said directly, "Let's go to the inn where my mother and her family stayed four days ago."
"yes."
Ye Lin responded and then said, "There is no sign of fighting in the Chen Mansion. They were all killed in one blow. They were killed by a group of well-trained masters."
Jiuer licked her tender lips, "Not only that. The Chen Mansion is not far away, and there are mansions and houses all around. The whole mansion was chopped off like a carrot without even a cry being heard. This is not something that an ordinary assassin organization can do."
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, making her look more like a cunning little fox.
"And a killer organization that can do this is not something that Miss Chen, who has just retired, can afford to hire."
"So, we have to go to the inn where my mother and her family stayed four days ago. My mother can't see anymore, but I, Murong Jiu, am not blind. I think my mother can't see anymore, so I play this kind of trick..."
Ye Lin's scalp felt cold, "Young lady, what do you mean..."
The little girl snorted softly, "I mean, someone is playing tricks in front of my mother."
No matter who this person is, her mother is already like this, and they still want to use her.
The immortal is so strict!
No matter who he is, she will let him know what it means to play with fire and get burned!
Because her uncle Ling Duannian's whereabouts were indeed too mysterious and unpredictable, she rushed back from Xiyue to look for her worrying father. According to the latest news at that time, her worrying father had woken up, but he got up and ran away regardless of his life or death!
She only found out their approximate location a few days ago.
When she came, she heard that her mother had been stabbed in the inn, although her mother was not hurt.
But she had an instinctive feeling that things were not simple.
This intuition made her decide to take a detour and investigate the woman who assassinated her mother and her son.
When she checked, she found something even worse!
Just as Jiuer was heading to the inn where Baili Feiyue and his companions had stayed on the night of the heavy rain, Baili Feiyue, Ling Duannian and his companions were resting somewhere else.
Baili Feiyue went to the child, Chen Baoer.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Well, thanks, sis. I feel much better now."
This child is more secretive than she thought.
Although Baili Feiyue wanted to know how he knew his mother was dead, he didn't ask. Even if he asked, the child probably wouldn't tell her what he was thinking.
Baili Feiyue just accompanied him naturally and chatted casually.
On the other side, Ling Duannian glanced over here.
He lowered his voice and said to the guard beside him, "Keep an eye on that child."
The guard immediately understood, "Master, do you think there is something wrong with that child?"
