The mayor's eyes widened in surprise. "So many days have passed, and you haven't come back yet?"
Ning Yaozu's eyes were red as he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mayor, do you think my dad might have encountered an accident or been cheated by someone?"
The mayor stroked his chin and said, "Your father has always been the one to cheat others. Who can cheat him? Well, I'm not saying your father is a bad person. When it comes to business, who wouldn't be shrewd?"
He didn't want to offend Ning Kun, his only God of Wealth.
"Well, I'll arrange for someone to go with you to look for him. The harvest season is almost here. If your father doesn't come back, we'll lose a lot of money!"
Ning Yaozu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mayor."
The mayor was just seeing Ning Yaozu off when he saw several more people coming outside.
"Mayor, my son has been missing for several days. Can you send someone to help find him?"
"Mayor, my wife is missing too. She never travels far away. It's been two days. Something must have happened!"
"Mayor, my daughter left home yesterday and hasn't come back yet. Could she have been captured by some bad guys?"
The mayor looked at the people gathered in front of his house, then looked at Ning Yaozu: "What's going on? So many people have disappeared recently?"
This has never happened before!
"Mayor, could it be that we have offended some deity? They are seeking revenge against Ningyuan Town!"
"Although Xu Xiangu has confessed her guilt, I still feel that the deaths of the three Ning Sheng family members are suspicious. Old Lady Ning's neck was twisted like that. How could Xu Xiangu, a woman, have such strength? Could it be that the head of the Yuanshan Sect is deliberately hiding something from us?"
"I also think the Ning Sheng family's affairs are not that simple. Could it be that Pei Yaolin has become too troublesome as a ghost, so even Sect Leader Qiao is unwilling to take care of us?"
The more they talked, the more outrageous and frightening it seemed to them, and finally they all looked at the mayor.
The mayor also got goosebumps. Finally, he went to Ning Yaozu's house, picked up two bottles of good wine, and went to the hotel.

The day the case was solved was Pei Yaolin's memorial day, so Qiao Ruoxi stayed with Pei Yaozhou.
Several people went to Pei Yaolin's cenotaph to pay their respects, and also discussed moving the cenotaph away.
Some things were delayed until today.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the mayor hurried forward and stopped Qiao Ruoxi with a smile on his face.
"Master Qiao, please stay. This is just a small token of my respect. Please accept it." He said as he handed over the wine in his hand.
Pei Yaozhou sneered, "You'd better take this wine back. My wife is feeling unwell after drinking it. Can you afford to compensate her?"
In the past few days, the mayor specifically asked his superiors about Pei Yaozhou's background and was almost shocked.
It turns out that after more than ten years, the Pei family has gone from being a wealthy family to the richest family in China.
And she and Master Qiao are husband and wife!
He secretly cursed Ning Sheng for being stupid more than once. If Ning Sheng could take good care of Pei Yaolin, the Pei family would also contribute money and effort to Ningyuan Town just for the sake of this daughter.
Ningyuan Town must have been Ningyuan City long ago. Have they ever experienced such a hard life?
"Yes, yes, Master Pei San naturally doesn't look down on things from small places like ours. It's just that a strange thing happened in Ningyuan Town. I would like to ask Master Qiao to help take a look."
"The case has been solved, what else do you want?" Qiao Ruoxi looked at the mayor with cold eyes.
Under the dual pressure of Pei Yaozhou and Qiao Ruoxi, the mayor found that he could not raise his head at all and could only bow his head in submission.
"It's like this. In recent days, there have been frequent cases of missing persons in the town. Everyone is wondering if there's something wrong with the feng shui of the town, or if someone has offended someone."
The mayor spoke very subtly, fearing that he would upset Qiao Ruoxi.
Taoist Wu Ya frowned and said, "Don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just get to the point. We don't have that much time to play Tai Chi with you."
The mayor's legs went weak. "Please ask Master Qiao to do a fortune-telling for our town and find those missing people."
Taoist Wu Ya laughed and said, "Mayor, our master's fortune-telling service has a fixed price tag: one hundred thousand per divination."
The mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We have already raised all the money the town can. We really can't give any more. Master Qiao, please be merciful!"
Ning Yaozu got angry when he saw Qiao Ruoxi and pulled the mayor aside, "There are so many people in this world who know how to tell fortunes, but I don't think they have any real skills. Mayor, let's find someone else."
Qiao Ruoxi pushed Pei Yaozhou and was about to leave.
The mayor suddenly became anxious and slapped Ning Yaozu: "You idiot, the most powerful master of metaphysics in the whole of China is here, why are you looking for someone else? Do you still want your father to come back?"
Hearing this, Qiao Ruoxi paused slightly.
Pei Yaolin's soul has not appeared yet. Could Ning Kun's disappearance be related to this matter?
"What is your father's birth date?" Qiao Ruoxi looked at Ning Yaozu.
When Ning Yaozu saw Qiao Ruoxi, his fingers felt a dull pain. He deliberately ignored Qiao Ruoxi and turned his head away.
The mayor slapped Ning Yaozu on the back again.
"Hurry up and tell me, Sect Leader Qiao has never made a mistake when it comes to fortune-telling. Just tell her the eight characters and she will help you find the person!"
Ning Yaozu was torn between his conscience and his conscience for a moment, but he finally compromised and told Qiao Ruoxi.
Qiao Ruoxi counted on her fingers and gradually frowned.
"Master Qiao, I wonder where Ning Kun is now?" the mayor asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to calculate." Ning Yaozu muttered.
Finally, Qiao Ruoxi opened her red lips and uttered two words: "Dead."
The mayor and Ning Yaozu both opened their eyes wide in shock.
Ning Yaozu was the first to come to his senses. He pointed at Qiao Ruoxi and yelled at the top of his lungs, "You're talking nonsense! My dad is in good health and can eat a whole cow in one meal. How could he be dead?"
"Death by homicide, the soul has no place to return to."
Qiao Ruoxi frowned. Another soul was lost. Sure enough, there was not only Xu Xiangu behind the man in black. There must be other people behind her!
Seeing Ning Yaozu about to go crazy again, the mayor quickly pulled him back and pleaded with Qiao Ruoxi, "Master Qiao, please tell Ningyuan Town a fortune!"
Taoist Wu Ya coughed lightly and said, "Give me a discount. 50,000. No less."
The mayor gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand."
Qiao Ruoxi took out three copper coins and threw them into the air at the same time. After six times, Qiao Ruoxi's red lips were pursed into a thin line.
"How is it?" The mayor had only heard of Liu Yao divination, and this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. He was both nervous and expectant.
"The hexagram shows that no one will survive." And all their souls have no place to return.
The mayor slumped to the ground. "Are they all dead? Who did this? Are they ghosts claiming their lives?"
"Go collect a list of missing persons and ask their families to find out where they went," Qiao Ruoxi instructed.
The mayor nodded repeatedly.
"Also, if you want to stay alive, tell everyone not to go anywhere, no matter who invites you," Qiao Ruoxi added.
The mayor shuddered: "Could it be that he's possessed by a ghost?"
