Hong Yu said, "I lived in this town for a while before, and I know a few of the more secret hiding places."
Tang Chen hurriedly urged: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Hong Yu said, "No rush, let's wait until Qiu Liang comes back. The places I know are quite far from here. According to Qiu Liang's calculations, that person shouldn't be able to get there in a short time. Let's just wait and see Su Zhirou."
What surprised Tang Chen was that they had just been making such a fuss and searching so loudly next door, but when they came over, Su Zhirou seemed to have not moved at all, lying unconscious on the bed. Seeing this, Tang Chen couldn't help but feel worried, and quickly asked Hong Yu to give Su Zhirou a quick check.
"How is it, is she okay?"
Hong Yu gently placed Su Zhirou's hand back into the quilt and said softly, "It's okay. Her breathing is steady and her pulse is calm. It looks like she's just fallen asleep."
"That's good..." Before Tang Chen could finish his words, Hong Yu suddenly stood up and walked around the room as if he had suddenly thought of something and discovered something. "What are you looking for? Did you find anything?"
Hong Yu explained, "I was wondering if that person might be hiding nearby."
Tang Chen frowned and said, "It's possible, but this room is not big, and there doesn't seem to be any place to hide."
Although this is true, Hong Yu feels that "it's always better to be more careful."
Because of this, the two girls, Tang Chen and Hong Yu, were very careful not to make too much noise to wake Su Zhirou up. They also searched every corner they could, which was really suffocating.
After searching around, both of them were sweating profusely. Tang Chen grabbed a book and used it as a fan, fanning himself while going out to get some fresh air.
"Huh, we've dug deep here. It's like that man came and went without a trace. Aside from the missing secret recipe and Huangfu Bin, there wasn't a single trace left at or near the crime scene."
Hong Yu was also a little puzzled and said: "I think it's either a master, an expert, or someone around us."
Tang Chen put his hands on his hips, squinted his eyes, and blew the breeze. He said, "I trust the rest of us 100%. Xie Zhuangshui and Xiao Liang are also trustworthy people under Shi Zairong. As for experts and masters... I suddenly remembered a few people."
Hong Yu glanced at her and asked hesitantly, "How many people? Are you talking about the three child-like masters guarding the artillery earlier?"
Tang Chen explained, "That's right. As they say, a passing goose leaves a trace. Although the three of them were just hanging around the granary, I think they might know something."
Whenever Hong Yu thought of the people in the granary, she would recall Li Xinzhai's cold and painful death in front of her, with a regretful expression on his face. If she said too much, people might think she was being hypocritical, but Tang Chen's words were different. The position of Li Xinzhai in her heart was something that even Wang Yanzhou could not shake. Their side was indeed a breakthrough point, but in order to ensure that there would be no irreversible conflict between the two sides, Hong Yu decided to go and take a look alone: "Well, I'll go and take a look, you stay."
Tang Chen shook his head and said to Yingfeng, "I'll go with you. I actually met the murderer before, but judging from her tone and expression, she seems to feel guilty towards me. Maybe it will be more effective if I go."
Hong Yu had no idea that they had already crossed paths before, so he had no choice but to agree: "...Okay, just don't mess around."
Tang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I do anything reckless? I can't win in a fight. I'm not stupid. I won't commit suicide on my own initiative. Don't worry."
...Jia Luo sat bored on the roof of the granary, looking down at the entire town. Actually, after the artillery lost its usefulness, the three of them didn't need to stay in this place anymore, but because of Tan Hua, they stayed for the time being.
Today, Prajna took Tanhua to Ou Yezi, saying that they had something to discuss. However, it was a good opportunity for Jialuo to watch a good show here alone.
When Prajna and the others returned, Jialuo's first words were, "Something seems to have happened in the Northwest Courtyard. I saw that little girl Tang Chen and the little girl in red from the Huangfu family coming towards us. I'm afraid they're here to 'call for justice.'"
Prajna chuckled and said, "Although you usually like to watch the fun, you never say these things on your own initiative. Tanhua and I just heard about this matter from Ou Yezi. Have you discovered anything?"
Jia Luo smiled and said, "It can't be considered a discovery, but I don't think they will believe it even if I tell them, and I don't have any evidence. So, if I'm not sure, I'd better not tell them."
Tanhua interrupted, "Jialuo, if that little girl gets anxious later, tell her everything you know."
Jialuo looked at Tanhua with an incredible expression and teased, "Hey, have you really figured it out, or have you changed your personality?"
Tan Hua reminded him with some dissatisfaction: "Didn't I just tell you?"
Prajna was a little curious about what interesting things these two people who usually wouldn't say more than three sentences to each other had said in private: "What interesting things did you two secretly say behind my back? Tell me about it and let me have some fun."
Tan Hua quickly explained: "No, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Before the three of them finished their conversation, Jia Luo spotted Tang Chen and the other two walking into their "sphere of influence." "Oh, they're here. Are you going, or are we going?"
Tan Hua said, "That little girl is very hostile to me, so you should go ahead."
"All right."
Tang Chen and Hong Yu had just reached the square in front of the granary when they saw two children, each radiant with spirit, suddenly appear at the granary's door. Tang Chen subconsciously stopped and said unhappily, "I'm right, aren't I? As long as we get close, someone will naturally come out to greet us without us having to look for them."
Hong Yu said helplessly, "We're here to get some information. Can you just be patient or just stay quiet for a while and let me do it?"
"OK."
Hong Yu took a step forward, looked down at the two children who looked incredibly young at first glance, and said, "Senior, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Jia Luo said bluntly: "We all know what happened in the Northwest Courtyard. What do you want to know?"
Hong Yu was slightly stunned, then turned around and looked at Tang Chen. What she said was really right. These people really knew something:
"I wonder if you've seen any strange people wandering around the Northwest Courtyard?"
