Hu Sanniang, oh Hu Sanniang, if you really did this, I will peel off your fox skin! Zhou Yuanyuan stood aside and secretly sulked in her heart.
Zhou Yuanyuan was unhappy, her expression a bit grim. At least in the eyes of the others who had come with her, Zhou Yuanyuan was acting like a spoiled young lady. They'd already told us there wasn't much to see in this remote area, yet they still insisted on crowding in. Serves us right! A certain sour-smelling member of the Special Operations Team thought to himself.
"Oh! Is this lovely girl the one from the Zhou family? Grandpa Zhou, why don't you introduce her to me? You are neglecting this beautiful girl." Cao had almost finished chatting with Zhou Xi when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan following behind Zhou Xi. His eyes lit up.
Cao Yizhi has always loved beautiful things. Seeing beautiful flowers or beautiful girls always makes Cao Yizhi happy. He has always courted the beautiful girls in the compound. However, Cao Yizhi isn't a pervert. Even when he gives flowers to beautiful girls, he doesn't have any dirty intentions; it's simply out of pure admiration.
Seeing Cao Yizhi greeting her with a familiar look, Zhou Yuanyuan curled her lips and didn't want to pay attention to him. At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan's heart was nothing but irritation. Seeing that Hu Sanniang's suspicion was growing, Zhou Yuanyuan really wanted to find her immediately and ask her clearly.
"snort!"
Before Zhou Xi could speak, Zhang Qiang behind him snorted coldly!
Along the way, Zhang Qiang had already been quite upset with Zhou Yuanyuan for her aggressive approach to the team. Upon getting off the plane, he saw the nagging second lieutenant Cao Yizhi trying to socialize with Zhou Xi, which only intensified Zhang Qiang's anger. No wonder this young man was an officer at such a young age, while he, a grassroots worker in his late twenties, was still an ordinary employee. It seemed like he had a powerful backing!
Zhang Qiang had wronged Cao Zhizhi. Since joining the army, Cao Zhizhi had never revealed his identity as a member of the Cao family. Everything Cao Zhizhi had achieved was through his own hard work. Therefore, Cao Zhizhi cherished his military career.
Perhaps it was Cao Zhizhi's handsomeness and the epaulettes on his shoulders that irritated Zhang Qiang; he simply felt that Cao Zhizhi was causing him so much annoyance. The way Cao Zhizhi looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with such affection drove Zhang Qiang even further afield. They were here in this desolate wilderness to complete a mission, not to enjoy the scenery and fall in love, right? Why were all these second-generation officials acting like crazy?
Zhang Qiang misunderstood, believing he had discovered the truth behind Zhou Yuanyuan's attempt to join the team, specifically to visit Cao Zhizhi in Cuiyuan Village. Cao Zhizhi was a handsome man, tall and handsome, and together with Zhou Yuanyuan, they looked like a perfect match. Zhang Qiang had been in the Special Operations Team for quite some time, and he knew that many well-connected families in Kyoto favored family marriages.
If Zhou Yuanyuan knew what Zhang Qiang was thinking at the moment, she would definitely spit him out. Ever since she got off the plane, Zhou Yuanyuan had already used her spiritual sense to observe the small village. Was she, such a dedicated person, just a nymphomaniac in Zhang Qiang's eyes?
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know what Zhang Qiang was thinking, nor did she care what others thought of her. Her only purpose in coming here was to find the real culprit.
When Zhou Xi heard Zhang Qiang's cold snort, he paused and then walked ahead as if nothing had happened, heading towards the house closest to the threshing ground.
Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng looked at each other in surprise, and each could see from the other's eyes that they disapproved of Zhang Qiang.
Having worked with Zhang Qiang for ten years, Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng, even if they didn't know him well, could still guess at his inner thoughts. Zhang Qiang, still resentful of being abandoned by his parents as a child, was fine with ordinary people during missions, but when he saw "Yan Nei" (officials with wealthy families and strong backgrounds) like Cao Yizhi and Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but let his temper run wild.
In the eyes of Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng, Zhang Qiang was just too jealous. Other people's happy families and strong backgrounds were just their own reincarnations, not something they stole from you, Zhang Qiang. Why bother making one or two inappropriate movements and uttering one or two inappropriate words from time to time? Zhang Qiang's occasional erratic behavior not only made him sit on the bench and not get any missions, but also affected the reputation of other members of their special operations team. Every mission of the special operations team was dangerous and arduous, and no one liked to work hard but not get any thanks, so in recent years, whenever possible, the team members would avoid the opportunity to do missions with Zhang Qiang.
This time, Zhou Xi had heard that people in the small mountain village had died mysteriously, and fearing some evil spirit, he had brought Zhang Qiang along. After all, Zhang Qiang's fire ability was the nemesis of evil.
Several people knew Zhang Qiang's usual behavior. The remaining two, Cao Yizhi and Zhou Yuanyuan, who didn't know, didn't care about Zhang Qiang's behavior. They followed Zhou Xi's footsteps and quickly entered the house chosen by Zhou Xi.
As soon as they entered, Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng walked around the yard to check. Zhou Xi, Zhou Yuanyuan and Cao Yizhi, then walked into the main hall.
The household Zhou Xi chose was the village chief's. Even before he entered the main hall, his brow furrowed. Even though several days had passed, the site remained untouched. As Zhou Xi reached the main hall's door, he noticed something amiss.
After entering the main hall, Zhou Xi's eyes were attracted by the red lacquer eight-immortal table in the middle of the room. To be more precise, Zhou Xi's eyes were attracted by a small tuft of hair on the eight-immortal table.
It was a small tuft of pure white hair, about ten centimeters long. To call it pure white wasn't quite right, as the tips were a pale yellow. What surprised Zhou Xi was that the hair had a faint demonic aura. When the spiritual energy in Zhou Xi's body encountered this trace of demonic aura, its flow accelerated tenfold.
If he was not mistaken, this was the hair of an animal that had become a spirit. As to whether it was a wolf or a fox, Zhou Xi could not tell.
Zhou Yuanyuan, following Zhou Xi, also spotted the small tuft of hair on the Eight Immortals table. Unlike Zhou Xi, she was certain it belonged to her pet, Hu Sanniang. While it was a small tuft, it was actually only about twenty strands, neatly arranged in the center of the table. The white hair stood out against the red lacquer table, making it easily visible to anyone entering.
Huh? No! If it was really Hu Sanniang who did it, she wouldn't be so foolish as to leave a tuft of hair here to show that she was the murderer, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan was shocked and began to carefully observe the small tuft of hair on the table.
The white hair is clean and without a trace of blood. It doesn't look like Hu Sanniang pulled it off in a hurry. So why did Hu Sanniang place this small tuft of hair here? Is it hinting at something?
