Looking at the obvious dark circles under his eyes and his hands trembling slightly due to fatigue, Lu Yunxi was silent for a moment, then sighed after a while, opened the door and invited them in.
She asked the coachman to park the carriage in the front yard, gave the horses some grass and water, and then invited the guests into the hall.
She silently brewed a pot of refreshing tea.
Amidst the aroma of tea, she silently asked, "My Lord, why did you come to see me?"
After the prefect drank six cups of tea in a row, he finally felt much clearer.
He rubbed his temples and said, "Lady, I came here this time to ask for your help!"
At this point, he said with a serious face: "Although I know this is difficult and you have your own things to do, but if possible, I still hope you can help..."
Balabala.
Seeing that he had been talking for a full twenty minutes and still hadn't said anything irrelevant and hadn't gotten to the point, Lu Yunxi finally became a little impatient.
She interrupted his chatter and said, "You've said so much, but you haven't told me what you want me to help you with! If you don't tell me clearly what you want me to help you with, how can I know if I can do it!"
The prefect was stunned and scratched his head.
Yes!
He was so focused on trying to persuade the heroine that he didn't even tell her what had happened.

During this period, even petty thefts were rarely seen. Several serious cases suddenly occurred in the usually peaceful Wucheng.
Several young girls suddenly disappeared, and when they were found, they had all turned into mummies, lying on the street.
Because they were all discovered in the early morning, and the crimes occurred at night.
So now, as night falls, the whole foggy city becomes panic-stricken.
Families with several sisters will let all the girls live together. Families with only one girl will also let family members such as the grandmother, mother, aunts, and uncles live with her.
However, even though the people of Wucheng have used this method, they still cannot prevent more and more victims from appearing.
The prefect has already sent two-thirds of his officers to investigate.
It’s a pity that even with so many people investigating, they couldn’t find any clues!
…
After hearing what happened recently, Lu Yunxi frowned.
"Your Excellency is saying that these girls disappeared inexplicably?" There couldn't be no clues at all, could there be no detectives in Fog City?
That’s right!
The skill of a detective is rarely used! Besides those working in government offices, other people... there's no detective agency here!
