Mr. Li's family in Dayang Town - Jiang Si was instinctively sensitive and felt that the identity of the female corpse was very likely to fall into this family.
He talked to the little nun for a while, but ultimately didn't get much useful information out of her, so Jiang Si sent Ah Man to call Lao Qin over.
"What do you want, young lady?" Old Qin tidied himself up a little. There were deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes due to years of depression. He looked like a man with a lot of experience and a lot of stories. However, his back was straighter than that of a young man in his twenties, giving people a sense of security as heavy as a mountain.
Jiang Si believed that a man with such experience and personality was indeed good at killing people as he said.
With Lao Qin and Ah Fei, many things are indeed much more convenient. For example, at this time, Ah Man is much more troublesome to contact Ah Fei than Lao Qin.
"Lao Qin, tell Ah Fei to go to these places and ask around..." Jiang Si listed the villages and towns where the women from the wealthy families who often visited the village mentioned by Xiao Shami lived, and finally emphasized, "Let's go to Dayang Town first."
Lao Qin clasped his fists and turned away.
"Girl, are there really many girls missing?" On the way back to the guest room with Jiang Si, Ah Man couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
It turned out that Lady Xiu's daughter was killed by the Prince of Changxing, but no one expected that there were other victims. The Prince of Changxing is really heartbroken!
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Jiang Si said indifferently.
At noon, Jiang Zhan came to call people.
"Fourth sister, the master has brought some vegetarian food, come and eat with us."
Jiang Si followed Jiang Zhan to the next room, but found Yu Jin there too.
She couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan smiled and said, "I don't care too much when I'm out. This vegetarian meal was ordered by Brother Yu Qi. It is said that the first-class vegetarian meal of Lingwu Temple is very famous. We can try it."
"I'm not really hungry, Brother 2 and Master Yu, please eat slowly."
Jiang Si turned around to leave, but Jiang Zhan grabbed his sleeve.
"Fourth sister, if you don't eat properly you'll have a stomachache."
Seeing Jiang Zhan pleading pitifully with a frown on his face, Jiang Si finally softened and nodded.
Jiang Zhan was overjoyed, and pulled Jiang Si to sit beside him. He handed over the bowls and chopsticks attentively, and put a small bowl of soup in front of her: "Fourth sister, try this vegetable soup. It is said that this vegetable was originally a wild vegetable, but because it tastes so good when made into a vegetable soup, the temple has specially opened up an area in the back mountain to grow it. Generally, pilgrims who come to Lingwu Temple for a short stay must try this vegetable soup."
Yu Jin placed one hand on the dining table, brows slightly furrowed.
Jiang Zhan has done all the hard work, what else can he do?
My brother-in-law loves my sister so much, it really makes things more difficult for him.
"Second brother, don't worry about me. I'm not a child anymore." Jiang Si wiped his hands and took the chopsticks.
"Come on, let's drink tea instead of wine first." Seeing that Jiang Si was giving face and was willing to ease the relationship with Yu Jin, Jiang Zhan was very happy and winked at Yu Jin.
He said that Fourth Sister was just cold-tempered and would definitely love her savior as well.
Yu Jin picked up the teacup and gestured to Jiang Zhan with a smile.
"The water used to make tea is mountain spring water, which is said to be a famous treat for guests in Lingwu Temple. Miss Jiang, please try it."
Jiang Si took a sip of tea and put it down. Seeing that Jiang Zhan was standing next to him, he said calmly, "It tastes good."
"It seems that we have come to the right place, Lingwu Temple. But this place is a bit small. Let's go for a walk around tomorrow." Jiang Zhan suggested.
Yu Jin smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Si kicked Jiang Zhan hard with his foot under the table.
Is this my real brother? Did he sell my sister and help her count the money?
Jiang Zhan grinned, not wanting Yu Jin to notice that he had been kicked, and said with a dry laugh, "The tea is quite hot."
Yu Jin chuckled, "Yeah, my mouth is a little hot. Miss Jiang, you should drink some vegetable soup to warm your stomach first. Going out is not as comfortable as being at home, so you should pay more attention to your diet."
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Yu." Jiang Si responded nonchalantly, stirred the vegetable soup with a spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it to his lips, but then stopped.
Jiang Zhan drank several mouthfuls, and seeing that Jiang Si was not moving, he asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Fourth Sister eat? This vegetable soup really tastes great."
Jiang Sigan put the spoon down in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhan was even more puzzled, and scooped another spoonful to eat, "It's delicious, with a refreshing fragrance and a smooth texture."
Fourth sister hasn’t even eaten it yet, why is she throwing it away?
Jiang Si scooped another spoonful of vegetable soup and put it to his lips, but did not move.
This time Jiang Zhan couldn't eat anymore: "Fourth sister, if you don't like it, just eat something else, don't force yourself."
Jiang Si stared at the emerald green vegetable soup, her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and once again put the spoon back into the bowl, saying with certainty: "This tastes a little wrong."
"What's wrong? Fourth sister, you haven't tasted it yet." Jiang Zhan was confused by what Jiang Si said.
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Just smell it, no need to taste it."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhan put down his chopsticks and lost interest in the food in front of him.
I always feel that Fourth Sister doesn't seem to be joking. Could it be that someone put drugs in the food?
So was it a knockout drug or poison that he took? Damn, it couldn't be an aphrodisiac, could it?
Seeing the rich and colorful expression on Mr. Jiang's face, Yu Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother Jiang, you should listen to what Miss Jiang says."
"Fourth sister, did you really give me drugs?"
Jiang Si laughed dumbly: "What are you thinking about, second brother?"
"That's good." Jiang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was the one who ate the most just now, while the other seven brothers and the fourth sister didn't touch the vegetable soup at all.
"But this vegetable soup has a bad smell..." Jiang Si looked at Jiang Zhan with sympathy, but still said the rest of the words, "Like the smell of rotting animal corpses dissolved in water..."
Jiang Zhan's face turned pale. Seeing that Jiang Si's expression didn't seem to be joking, he stood up and rushed out. Soon, a dry groaning sound was heard from outside.
For a moment, Yu Jin and Jiang Si were the only ones left in the room.
"Is there really a bad smell?" Yu Jin scooped up a spoonful of vegetable soup, put it to his nose and sniffed, but could not smell any strange smell.
"Could it be that Miss Jiang is teasing Second Brother Jiang?" Yu Jin suddenly thought of this possibility.
Jiang Zhan just helped him unintentionally, but he became this girl's punching bag?
Jiang Si's eyes fell on the spoon beside Yu Jin's lips and nodded: "Yeah, I was just teasing my second brother."
Yu Jin smiled and opened his lips slightly as if he wanted to eat the vegetable soup.
Jiang Si squinted his eyes and saw him put the spoon down again.
Meeting the girl's slightly surprised eyes, the boy smiled slightly: "I think you are lying to me."
Jiang Si couldn't help biting his lip.
The enemy is very cunning, much smarter than my second brother.
Jiang Zhan came back, leaning against the door frame and gasping for breath. It took him a while to calm down and come over.
"Fourth sister, you are not kidding me, are you? If you make such a joke, your second brother will be angry."
Looking at his pitiful brother, Jiang Si frowned in distress.
She also wanted to say that it was just a joke, but she was too familiar with the smell and had just smelled it not long ago.
